Valuation Techniques in Accounting and Finance

Valuation is both an art and a science, and the International Conference on Valuation Techniques in Accounting and Finance (ICVTAF) is designed to master both. As markets become more volatile and intangible assets like intellectual property and brand equity become central to company value, the traditional methods of valuation are being challenged. This conference in Glasgow brings together valuation experts, investment bankers, and senior accountants to explore advanced methodologies for assessing business worth in the digital age.

The program covers a wide range of critical topics, from Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) modeling under high-inflation scenarios to the valuation of tech startups with no history of earnings. For ACCA members involved in M&A, auditing, or corporate finance, this event provides the technical rigor needed to defend valuation conclusions to stakeholders and regulators. Special emphasis will be placed on the International Valuation Standards (IVS) and how they align with IFRS requirements.

In addition to technical modeling, the conference addresses the psychological aspects of valuation, including behavioral finance biases that can lead to overvaluation or market bubbles. Attendees will participate in case study workshops where they must value real-world companies using live data, receiving feedback from a panel of experts. This hands-on approach ensures that the knowledge gained is immediately applicable to the workplace. Whether you are looking to refine your spreadsheet modeling skills or understand the high-level theory behind market multiples, this conference offers a comprehensive curriculum tailored for the modern finance leader.
