Don't Let Banks Hide Bad Assets | online.wsj.com

Conceptually, the arguments favoring fair value accounting are sound and quite appealing. Unquestionably, financial statement users will benefit from data about how a company’s assets and liabilities change in value during a reporting period. However, there are two major issues associated with fair value reporting that accountants, investors, legislators, and regulators need to address in the wake of our most recent financial crisis.

Truth is truth, whether it's welcome news or not

The Fair Value Deadbeat Debate Returns | www.cfo.com

Financial reporting works best, and maybe only, when it is complete and unbiased.  If it is biased to manage the message, it becomes a method of distributing propaganda and all credibility is lost.The economics of gain occurrence is unarguable.  If management can retire a debt for a smaller amount than the carrying value, then there are fewer liabilities and more equity.  More equity means income has occurred.  There is no rationality behind efforts to suppress truthful news just because you don't like it.  Let's all hope the standard setters are not swayed by "visceral" impulses into the direction of keeping useful information out of financial statements.  The inevitable consequence is greater risk and discounted share and bond prices, simply because users don't have access to the truth.  That does no one any good.
