Measurements
David Congram
What is Fair Value - 157?
• How should it be Measured?
– US GAAP
– Current IASB Standards
• When does it apply?
• When is it coming?
What is Fair Value?
• US GAAP
“The price that would be received for an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in a
transaction between marketplace
participants at the measurement date”
(SFAS 157.5)
• IFRS
“The amount for which an asset could be
exchanged, or a liability settled, between
knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s
length transaction.” (IAS 39.11)
How to measure
• Key Points
–
–
–
–
Exit price basis.
In the principal market.
From perspective of market participant.
Focus economic value.
• Relevant to insurance and investment
contracts, even with no relevant and
reliable exit market.
• Insurance contracts would be primarily a
marked-to-model basis.
Market
• Two types of Market
– Wholesale – Business to Business (Exit)
– Retail – Business to Consumer (Entry)
• Use assumptions a market participant
would use in pricing, including risk.
• Entity Specific inputs are alright if not
inconsistent with what market participants
would use.
Market Participant
•
•
•
•
Independent of the reporting entity
Knowledgeable
Able and willing to transact
For a liability would assume a
transfer to participants of
comparable non performance risk
Valuation approach
• May be consistent with market, income or
cost/replacement approach and multiple
methods may be used.
• Appropriate for the circumstances
• Inputs
¾ Level 1 – quoted prices
¾ Level 2 – other market observable
¾ Level 3 – based on best available information
• Lowest Input determines the category and
disclosure
• Recognition issues

constraints Tax, future premiums and dividends
