The Fair Value Debate - The Political Imperative - A Exercise in Futility?
November 19, 2009
Analysis by: Nitish Grover, Principal, Owner,Accounting Rules:Divided and Overruled | www.economist.com
Fair value has been in the news for sometime. Also banks are now complaining and so are regulators and politicians. The convergence issue and the impact of a far off standard setter not subject to local influence is having its effects on the debate. In this analysis I look at why fair value should not be influenced by those not well conversant with the subject. While I agree that accountants alone should not influence the debate yet the undue influence of politicians should be avoided.
