RELEVANT REGULATIONS AND METHODOLOGIES ON THE VALUATION ARE BEING DEVELOPED IN CONNECTION WITH THE LATEST APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT OF THE LAW ON VALUATION

12/6/2022

After the Law on Valuation was first approved in 2010, the new revision of the Law on Valuation was approved by the Parliament of Mongolia in 2022 which was an important event in accelerating the development of the sector. In connection with the latest approval of the amendment of the Law on Valuation, as a next step towards addressing legal environment-related challenges, the Accounting Policy Department of the Ministry of Finance has been working on development and improvement of the relevant regulations and methodologies on the valuation, its organization, and quality control matters for the further development of the valuation service and ensuring the implementation of the law.

One of the challenges that must be resolved for transitioning to full accrual based accounting and financial reporting in accordance with the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is the development of the legal environment that enables assets to be measured and reported at fair and reasonable value in accordance with the requirements of the IPSAS and IFRS.

Therefore, as part of the Strengthening Fiscal and Financial Stability project, a consulting team of the Accounting Policy Department has been developing draft regulations and methodologies as below in accordance with the IFRS and International Valuation Standards (IVS) to ensure the implementation of the latest amendment of the Law on Valuation.

  1. Regulation and methodology on valuation for financial reporting purposes;
  2. Regulation, methodology and approach on carrying out valuation quality control of valuation firms;
  3. Regulation for the standard fee for valuation service;
  4. Regulation and methodology on the valuation of moveable property;
  5. Regulation in organizing examination to certify appraisers;
  6. Regulation on creating and using database for valuation and ensuring information security;
  7. Methodology to calculate coefficients of the factors to be used for valuation and methodological recommendations on updating the coefficients of the factors for further improvements in accordance with the IVS;
  8. Support building capacity for the Professional Valuation Institute of Mongolia in creating a database for valuation service through i) developing a structure of the valuation database to be used in collecting data in an automated system; ii) designing a catalog template on assets’ reference prices to be used in recording assets with unknown value; and iii) formulating relevant methodological recommendations to ensure the implementation of the provision 25.1 of the latest amendment of the Law on Valuation and the IVS.

A presentation and discussion on the drafts above will be organized among the relevant stakeholders to receive their comments and suggestions for further improvements.
