On May 8th, IACVA President William Hanlin and Executive Manager Susan Yi met with Mr. Lei, president of Zhengheng Valuation Inc. The two parties discussed their future cooperation in detail.

Zhengheng’s business is no longer confined to Xi’an, having four other offices established in other cities in China. At the same time, the valuation industry of China is developing at a high speed; professional guidance in both theory and practice is of great significance. Based on the overall needs of Chinese valuation professionals and the present expansion of Zhengheng, IACVA and Zhengheng will work jointly on the publication of advanced works in this field. Research papers and valuation reports around the world will be collected and translated into Chinese.

During the conversation, the two parties discussed the development and application of the Market Approach in China. Due to economic growth in China, the number of small and medium size companies has increased enormously, and the valuation of such businesses now constitutes an important portion of the services of Chinese valuators. Mr. Hanlin indicated that it was not appropriate to apply the data of public companies to small and medium sized ones, and that IACVA will keep working with Chinese professionals on this subject.

Both parties expressed their keen expectation for future cooperation, believing this will be a win-win solution for both IACVA and Zhengheng Valuation Inc.

On April 28th of 2012, Mr. Hanlin, president of IACVA and Mr. Claywell, Vice President of Education visited the China Appraisal Society (CAS). Secretary General of CAS, Madam Liu Ping and Vice Secretary General Ms. Hai Liying of CAS met with President Hanlin and his party. During the meeting, Madam Liu confirmed previous achievements. She pointed out that China's reform and opening up requires companies to go abroad. Valuators serving overseas Chinese companies are increasingly reliant on the close cooperation between CAS and IACVA. President Hanlin stated that previous joint efforts laid an excellent foundation for further cooperation. The two parties are making full preparations for regular and systematic cooperation. In addition, they discussed the joint annual meeting to be held in Xi’an in September of 2012, agreeing that more forums and annual meetings should be held to enhance influences in the Chinese valuation field. At the end of the discussion, Secretary General Liu presented the honorary member certificate to President Hanlin.

Following this meeting, IACVA organized training for Chinese instructors in the conference room of CAS for the first time on April 29th, 2012. Five instructors-in-training from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong attend the session. This activity was a great success.

William Hanlin, and Richard Claywell, visited the Head Office of Modern Bankers and had a friendly conversation with Chief Editor Mr. Li Zheping and editor Ding Ding. Mr. Li expressed his strong interest in CFD (Certified Fraud Deterrence) and hoped to launch a long cooperation with IACVA, including jointly holding training programs, forums and seminars. Mr. Hanlin also showed high expectations for the cooperation with Modern Bankers in CFD certification and hoped that both parties could get to know each other better and work out a detailed plan for the next step.

Xi'an Conference will be held in September, 2012, from 20 to 22.  Please send e-mail to info1@iacva.org if you're interested.

Chongqing is the largest municipality in China with a population of 32 million. It is traditionally a heavy machinery and auto industry center. It has a Free Trade area called Liang Hui, two national comprehensive bonded ports and four hi-tech processing zones. In the next five years, Chongqing plans to invest 30 billion US dollars abroad.
