For the first time valuations and their impact on the assessment of risk took a leading role in a major financial summit and this has serious implications for the future of all those involved in the business. This conference reviewed:
- the G20 recommendations as they relate to valuation and risk and whether they are on the right track;
- the views of the regulators on the new financial architecture;
- the activities of the key standards setters in valuation;
- how valuations practitioners see their role under the new regime;
- developments from the major valuations vendors;
- the work of the financial trade associations to help their members meet their obligations.
