Chartered Business Valuators (CBVs) quantify the value of a business, its securities, or its intangible assets. CBVs are respected and recognized as experts by the courts in cases involving financial matters, such as shareholder disputes, intellectual property disputes, family law, insurance claims, and personal injury claims. CBVs also facilitate informed decision making by management teams, Boards of Directors, and Government agencies in the context of mergers and acquisitions, succession planning, strategic planning, and reorganizations.

With over 1,700 highly qualified CBV members, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators (www.cicbv.ca) is nationally and internationally recognized as the pre-eminent business valuation organization in Canada.

CPABC is responsible for the regulating and professional development for its Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) members, and the protection of the public through its ethical standards and discipline processes. CPABC is a member organization of CPA Canada, which will soon represent more than 200,000 professional accountants across the country. Chartered Accountant (CA) members became CPAs when the professional accounting bodies in BC unified in 2015.
