In Australia, asset valuation is a critical exercise often undertaken for various purposes such as accounting, investment analysis, and asset financing. Typically conducted by certified valuers, the process aims to determine the fair market value of an asset, be it real estate, business, or financial instruments. Various methods can be employed depending on the asset type. For instance, property might be valued using comparable sales, income capitalisation, or the cost approach.
The asset valuation process starts with a comprehensive analysis, encompassing factors like location, condition, and comparative market data. Relevant legal and zoning aspects are also reviewed. Subsequently, specialised valuation techniques are applied to generate a credible valuation report. This report often serves as a foundational document for transactions, taxation, and even legal proceedings.
Valuation standards in Australia are governed by the Australian Property Institute (API) and Financial Reporting Standards (AFRS). Adherence to these guidelines ensures consistency, reliability, and legal credibility of the valuation outcome.
