CPAR Accounting & Financial Reporting

CPAR - 2019/September, Seg.04 - Fair Value Accounting: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Course Overview
Fair value accounting continues to be a topic of significant interest to accountants and auditors. Two major areas of focus are how managers and auditors support valuations and how fair value is disclosed in the financial statements. In today’s volatile markets, people want to know what an asset or liability is worth now, not just its historic value. As a result, fair value accounting provides more transparency than historical-based measurements. CFO and Adjunct Professor Mark Mishler brings us up-to-date on the FV accounting pronouncements and what is likely to occur in the future.

Upon successful completion of this segment, you should be able to:

  • Identify the key aspects of fair value measurement;
  • Recognize the definition of key terms related to fair value;
