The International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and The Appraisal Foundation (Foundation) have released an updated standards harmonization guide, A Bridge From USPAP to IVS 2018: A Guide to Producing IVS-Compliant Appraisals (the Bridge). First launched in June 2016, A Bridge From USPAP to IVS sets out the additional steps to be taken by appraisers already accustomed to providing USPAP-compliant appraisals to make valuations IVS-compliant. This revised edition reflects the latest (2017) version of the IVS, which are increasingly being applied throughout the world, and the latest (2018-19) edition of USPAP (which became effective on Jan. 1, 2018), the generally accepted standards of the U.S. appraisal profession.
