Standards Intent

Standards are typically updated every 2 years.
The intent of these standards is to promote and maintain a high level of public trust in professional appraisal practice by establishing requirements for appraisal, review and consulting assignments.

Standards Organization
Standards are organized in four sets: Ethics Standards Appraisal Standards Review Standards Consulting Standards
They are arranged in three tiers or levels: Rules: provide minimum performance Standards, based on
accepted appraisal practice; their application is compulsory Comments: clarify, interpret, explain and elaborate on the
Rules; their application is also compulsory Practice Notes: offer advice, examples and resolutions;
their application is not compulsory

Standards Organization- Summary
No change in format (set up) for 2010 CUSPAP
Changes relative to content only
1. IFRS and IVS
2. General items
9AIC Conference 2010 Victoria, BC
What is IFRS?
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are a single set of globally accepted high quality accounting standards.
They are issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), in London, UK.
IFRS will replace Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in Canada, effective January 1, 2011.
10AIC Conference 2010 Victoria, BC
Impact of IFRS in Canada
IFRS places Canada with more than 100 countries. Provides transparent information within financial
statements. IFRS will initially apply to publicly accountable
enterprises, not private companies or government entities. Private entities have the option of adopting IFRS.
Also requires comparative 2010 figures. First time adopters may report assets based on fair
value rather than historic cost (see next slide).
11AIC Conference 2010 Victoria, BC
Fair Value
Fair Value is an accounting concept and defined in IFRS as -
“the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.”
Where Market Value of an asset can be established, this value
will equate to Fair Value.
12AIC Conference 2010 Victoria, BC
Impact of IFRS on AIC
WHEREAS the AIC Board of Directors has recognized the need for valuation standards that address emerging valuation requirements (International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS) and diversification of the scope of work available to AIC members…...
BE IT RESOLVED that the AIC adopt International Reporting Standards “IVS” as their professional standard in sufficient time for full compliance with IFRS by January 1, 2010
13AIC Conference 2010 Victoria, BC
Impact of IFRS and IVS on AIC Members
IVS Sub-Committee determined that CUSPAP will be compliant with IVS (eight edition) by including certain requirements (NEW Appraisal Standard-Rules 6.3) – more later.
As only publicly accountable entities must switch to IFRS, many AIC clients are not impacted.
If AIC members are completing assignments under IFRS, must conform to applicable CUSPAP 2010 requirements.
