    The ASEAN Valuers Association (AVA) was established in 1981 with five founding members namely, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. AVA has expanded its membership to include Brunei (1990) and Vietnam (1997) and Cambodia (2009). Two other Asean countries namely Laos and Myanmar are not officially members yet as they have no formal valuation profession in their countries. They are now having observer status in AVA.

The objectives of AVA are :

  1. To provide closer relations, cooperation and mutual understanding amongst valuers in ASEAN countries;
  2. To provide the organisational framework for regional cooperation in the study and research in the harmonisation of relevant fields of valuation among the ASEAN countries, as required by the social and economic development of the region ;
  3. To cooperate with international, regional and national and other organisations in the furtherance of the aforementioned objectives.

Each country is represented by seven valuers from the public and private sectors and the academia to form the Governing Council.

The AVA holds a congress once every two years on a rotating basis among the ASEAN member countries. The congress provides a valuable platform to share views, networking, interaction, a place to learn and exchange knowledge and information and foster comradeship and fellowship. Between congresses, there is a pre-congress meeting to prepare for the congress.
