4.) Review of status of submission of HYR (Half yearly Report) for the period from Oct 2022- Mar 2023.
It was observed by IBBI that some HYRs were incomplete. So, members must submit the accurate and complete data to RVO for onward submission of the same to IBBI.
5.) Monitoring of the members.
It was decided that RVs who are not in compliance with any requirements under the Rules may be subject to a more focussed monitoring through the desktop mode and if required, through inspection.
6.) The clarification on utilization on CEP credit.
The IBBI has clarified that the CEP credit for a programme attended by the RV cannot be used to comply with the CPE requirements of multiple professions and can be used only once.
7.) Physical verification of tangible assets.
The point no 3.6(ii) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Use of Caveats, Limitations and Disclaimers in Valuation Reports) Guidelines, 2020 provides as under:
‘3.6 Illustrative Caveats, Limitations, and Disclaimers in a Valuation Report not to be used…..
3.6 (ii) Physical Verification: RV giving a disclaimer that he has not physically verified the tangible assets in case where engagement is for providing liquidation value…..’
This provision seems to imply that physical verification of tangible assets is mandatory only for providing liquidation value. It is suggested that physical verification of tangible assets be made mandatory for all valuation under the Rules.
8.) Confirmation for Registered Valuers not conducting valuation for the asset class in which they are not registered.
