    The first Brazilian CVAs, Ana Cristina Franca de Souza and Luiz Paulo Silveira, from Apsis Consultoria, had the idea to launch a translated version of “The Wiley Guide to Fair Value UnderIFRS”, by James Catty in 2011. The Bookman Group Editores bought the idea and now it is finally released to the Brazilian market.

    They prepared the Brazilian edition revising the Portuguese translation and wrote an Introduction that relates the National Rules, called CPC 46, to the IFRS 13 and its main concepts, also mentioning the valuation processes described in the book.

    This is actually the first book in Brazil about Valuation based on Fair Value. Looks like we started off on the right foot!

    About India Charter

    India chapter of IACVA was established in September 2012. The chapter is located in Chennai, in the State of Tamil Nadu, in South India.

    At present it is lead and coordinated by Ms.Rajeswari and Ms.Geetha.

    The chapter conducted its first TTT (Train the Trainer) program on 11th and 12th March 2013 at Chennai. Mr. Bill Hanlin conducted the program. 12 trainees, all with relevant knowledge and experience in this subject attended the TTT.

    The two days of training went off exceedingly well with Bill holding the class to rapt attention with his excellent delivery and drawing upon his vast knowledge and experience in the field of valuation to provide us very valuable inputs on teaching of the subject. This in turn enabled good interactions and high quality deliberations among the participants. On the whole a thoroughly enjoyable program that has given the right impetus and motivation to the charter.

    The chapter also organized a program for the members of the Southern India Regional Council of the Institute of Chartered accountants of India (SIRC). Mr. Bill Hanlin was the chief guest and his address was very well received by the audience that mostly included practicing accountants. The Regional director of the ministry of corporate affairs, who briefly addressed the gathering, was very clear in saying that the regulator strongly feels the need for professionals to be well equipped in the field of valuation particularly in the current scenario of changing legislations.The meeting was attended by more than 400 members of the institute.

    Training program shall be announced in due course.
