In recent years, the valuation services industry has seen significant growth and change. One of them is the increasing use of technology and data analytics in the valuation process. Valuation service providers are leveraging advanced analytics tools to improve the accuracy of their valuations and provide more comprehensive reports.
Artificial intelligence and natural language processing are also being used to analyze unstructured data sources, such as social media and news articles, to inform valuations. Furthermore, data visualization tools are used to present complex data in a more intuitive way, allowing clients to easily understand and interpret the results.
Another trend is the emergence of alternative valuation service providers, including fintech startups and online platforms that provide faster, affordable, and accessible valuation services.
There is also a growing emphasis on providing specialized valuation services, such as intangible asset valuations and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) valuations.
To put the spotlight on the key developments, Financial Services Review Canada illustrates how companies are using the latest technologies to improve valuation services. The edition also features leadership articles from Jennifer Segall, tax director of ASTEC, Selena Ling, chief economist and head of treasury research and strategy at OCBC Bank, Kwame Lewis, head of product innovation, fund services, TMF Group, and Ioannis Michopoulos, vice president, complex securities and financial instruments of Stout. They shed light on the role of modern technological tools in the valuation space.
