ESG
In last month's eNews, we announced the publication of an IVSC survey focusing on the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations within the valuation process. This survey serves as a vital tool in understanding how ESG factors are currently quantified and incorporated across various valuation specialties.
Running until 31 May 2024, the survey is open for responses and seeks insights from valuers worldwide. Your input will provide invaluable feedback to the IVSC, guiding efforts to refine and enhance ESG-related standards and practices.
Share your perspectives on this important topic and help us ensure we capture a wide range of viewpoints. Your input is crucial in shaping the future of valuation in alignment with global sustainability and governance trends.

Business Valuation
In a recent interview with the IVSC, as part of our Professional Insights series, Professor Daniel McCarthy of Emory University discusses the evolution of customer lifetime value and its critical impact on corporate valuation. With his background in statistics from 美国宾夕法尼亚大学 - 沃顿商学院 and a practical approach shaped by his commercial experience, including founding the predictive analytics firm Zodiac? (Acquired by Nike) , McCarthy offers a blend of academic insight and real-world application.
The interview covers several pertinent themes in customer lifetime value. McCarthy discusses the complexities of Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) costs, which have risen significantly since the 1990s and pose challenges for investors trying to gauge their effectiveness. He explains the importance of understanding these costs in relation to customer acquisition and overall profitability.
The interview?also addresses the transferability of customer value insights across different industries. While there are industry-specific patterns, the application of these insights must be tailored to reflect the unique customer dynamics of each sector. His work at Theta , focusing on customer-based corporate valuation, underscores the practical challenges and opportunities in applying these sophisticated statistical methodologies to diverse business environments.
