Financial instruments can be real or contractual documents represetning a legal agreeemnt that leads to certain financial assets or financial liabilities. Fair value measurements are usually required for equity based, fixed income held for trading purpose. Derivative contracts such as Options, Swaps, Contingent Payments, and Convertible Bonds are usually required to be stated at fair value at every financial reporting date.

A “valuation reviewer” is a professional valuer engaged (usually as auditor’s expert) to review the work of another valuer. As part of a valuation review, that professional may perform valuation review procedures on methodology, key assumptions and overall reasonableness of the result. Valtech’s team is highly experienced in doing review engagements.

Property valuation involves assessment on essential information about the property, such as tenure, location, description of the building of which the property forms part; and the gross floor area, saleable area and general conditions, among other things. Investment property is property (land or a building or part of a building or both) held (by the owner or by the lessee under a finance lease) to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. We support the application of fair value model under IAS 40 / HKAS40.
