New Delhi / Mumbai, July 2026 — LSBF has been appointed the first training partner in India for the Chartered Valuer and Appraiser (CVA) Programme by the Institute of Valuers and Appraisers Singapore (IVAS).
Under the partnership, LSBF will deliver preparatory courses for candidates pursuing the CVA Programme in India, expanding access to internationally benchmarked valuation education for finance and valuation professionals in one of Asia’s fastest-growing financial markets.
The CVA Programme is designed to equip professionals with practical and technical competencies in business valuation. The programme is built upon competency, ethical, and professional standards established by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC), the global standards setter for valuation. It integrates comprehensive technical knowledge with real-world experience through insights from industry experts and case studies.
The CVA Programme covers business valuation, financial modelling, mergers and acquisitions advisory, and investment analysis – skills in exceptional demand as India’s capital markets deepen and cross-border deal activity accelerates. The programme is particularly relevant for Chartered Accountants (CAs), Chartered Financial Analysts (CFAs), investment banking and M&A professionals, corporate finance executives, and finance graduates seeking to deepen their technical expertise and strengthen their professional credentials in valuation.
As capital markets across Asia continue to deepen and cross-border transactions grow in scale and complexity, demand is increasing for professionals with specialised valuation capabilities and internationally relevant skillsets. The partnership between IVAS and LSBF India aims to support the development of valuation talent equipped to operate in an increasingly interconnected business and investment environment.
