Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Accounting and Auditing
Authored by Joanne Flood, CPA-MBA
About this Course
Fair value measurements poses significant challenges for auditors, who will need to understand and be able to make judgments about complex matters such as: Was the client's process for making the fair value estimate reliable? Are the client's assumptions underlying the fair value estimate reasonable and supportable? Did the client properly apply the requirements of accounting standards?
