IACVA successfully conducted its first ICVS Certification Training Class in Malaysia from August 17 - 28, 2015. This training course was jointly held by National Institute of Valuation and Property Services Department Ministry of Finance Malaysia (INSPEN).  Forty candidates from Malaysia and Singapore took part in the two week training.

Our distinguished senior instructor, Mr. Robert Brackett, taught the business valuation theories and methodologies, and answered many questions from keen candidates. 

Mr. William Hanlin, the President and CEO of IACVA, met with candidates and shared his personal experience and real life cases while teaching the Introduction to Intangibles Valuation class.  The class participants responded enthusiastically to his depth of knowledge and approachability.

Mr. Chris Mellen of Valuation Research Corporation shared many examples and case studies from an experienced practitioner’s perspective. He also expanded the business valuation core knowledge with an in-depth discussion on advanced topics such as Cost of Capital, Forecasting Cash Flow and Purchase Price Allocation.

All participants were encouraged to utilize the IACVA world-wide network to develop their practices through participating in local and global events.

Last but not least, we owe a big thank-you to the kind support of Mr. Faizan Bin Abdul Rahman, Mr. Elvin Fernandez, Ms. Sr Faziah Abd Rasid, Ms. Susan Yi, Ms. Lisa Guo and the support staff from INSPEN.  We couldn’t have done it without you!  THANK YOU!

All of us are looking forward to the next training in Malaysia!
