To enhance your understanding of IOSCO and IVSC working relationship:
- IOSCO are the global standard setter for securities regulation.
- IOSCO membership is comprised of securities and financial market regulatory organisations from around the world.
- Earlier this year IOSCO surveyed its members which revealed inconsistency in the standards applied, and quality of valuations between markets.
- In March, IOSCO and IVSC held a virtual roundtable meeting with leading figures from across the financial world –regulators, standard setters, investors and valuation service providers – urging the two organisations to work collaboratively to advance international standards and high-quality valuation professionalism.
- The Statement of Cooperation outlines steps both organisations will take to enhance their cooperation. It includes, among other things: joint work to identify valuation risks and challenges around quality and consistency; the sharing of IVS with IOSCO and its member organisations; IOSCO review of the IVSC’s standard-setting process and governance etc.
- As a first step the IVSC will make the IVS available to IOSCO member organisations and establish a programme for ongoing engagement with IOSCO Committee 1, which leads on valuation-related matters.
