Asset Evaluation
<   BACK TO GLOSSARY

What is asset evaluation?
Asset valuation refers to the process of determining the current worth of assets such as real estate, investments, intellectual property, or branded intangibles. It combines market data, financial analysis, and sector insights to assess both present value and future potential, always aligned with your broader business or investment strategy.

Why does asset valuation matter?
Understanding the value of your assets is critical to making informed decisions—whether you're allocating capital, restructuring, or preparing for a transaction. Accurate valuations reduce risk, support financial reporting, and provide clarity when planning for growth or complying with regulatory requirements.

What’s the purpose of asset evaluation?
The purpose of an asset valuation is to give stakeholders a transparent view of what their assets are worth today and how they may perform tomorrow. Whether it’s for investment appraisal, risk management, or strategic planning, it’s about aligning value with vision.

Types of standards in asset evaluation

Globally recognised valuation standards include:

  • RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) – used widely in the EMEA region and internationally

  • IVS (International Valuation Standards) – a common framework for consistent, high-quality valuations

  • Taqeem – the Saudi Authority for Accredited Valuers, governing asset valuations within Saudi Arabia. These standards ensure that valuations are objective, reliable, and accepted across jurisdictions.
