INTERNATIONAL REAL ESTATE VALUATION CONFERENCE and WAVO BOARD MEETING Report By Sr Edward AU HKIS Vice President An international conference was jointly hosted by the China Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and Agents (CIREA) and the World Association of Valuation Organisations (WAVO) and co-organized by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (HKIS) and the Singapore Institute of Surveyors and Valuers (SISV), between 23 and 24 October in Beijing. The theme of this international conference was Global Developments in Real Estate Valuation Methods, Standards and Best Practices. HKIS played an important role in organizing this event jointly with the other two key organizer - SISV and CIREA. In recent years much development has taken place around the world, particularly for real estate in Asia. The global financial crisis has left a severe impact on the financial sector. Valuation of real estate and other assets have been examined in greater detail to ensure that the financial worth of these assets was the same as what they have been valued at and that were capable of achieving their values. There was a need to develop and establish guidelines and standards as well as best practices for real estate valuation, and for the purpose of valuing for accounting and financial reporting purposes. This international conference was intended to provide a valuable platform for real estate valuers to discuss some of the prevailing issues relating to standards and practices, and explore other new developments in the field of valuation. This year, WAVO held its conference jointly with CIREA in Beijing. The event attracted over 300 attendees from different part of the Mainland and other countries. Speakers from Singapore, Hong Kong, India, the United States, Germany and China presented topics on various hot topics including new trends in real estate valuation methods, leasehold valuation, discounted cash flow techniques; specialized valuations for hotel and resort valuation, subterranean rights valuation; statutory valuations for property tax assessment, land acquisition, development charge; valuation standards and best practices including international and local standards and practices; ethics and professionalism and the real estate market and development in terms of investments, market cycles, controls and regulations. The presentations in the conference received a high degree of recognition and appreciation by attendees. Keynote Speakers delivering their opening speeches in the Opening Ceremony By chance, WAVO held its Board Meeting in Beijing on the day before the conference. Sr Edward AU represented the HKIS, being a member association of the WAVO, in joining the WAVO Board Meeting. The WAVO Board discussed and planned its business plan for the year 2015. Since the last WAVO Board Meeting, which was held on 9 May in the HKIS Office, it was noted that there was a changing and challenging environment for the valuation profession and as such there was a need for a revamp of the Organization. A new work plan for the coming year and also the strategy to be adopted to expand its membership were discussed during the Board Meeting. Members noted the need for a stronger presence of the valuation profession and that WAVO had to reinvent itself and expand its network amongst the valuation organizations. The Meeting enhanced the progress and cooperation between members and targeted to expand WAVO membership towards other regions around the world. Attended by WAVO Board Members of different countries WAVO held its Board Meeting on 22 October in Beijing 7
