Analysis by: Anthony Catanach, Director,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.

Reality Impact - Grasping the Cost of Not Acting to Restore Trust in Capital Markets
September 19, 2008
Analysis by: Robert Kemp, Professor,Fed Tentatively Agrees to Provide $85bn to AIG | www.washingtonpost.com
There are significant arguments today on what should or should not be done to address the current capital market crisis. In reality, market economies first and foremost rely on trust. When trust is lacking, the ramifications are significant and far reaching. The mistrust of one sector multiples into problems throughout other sectors. A good example is the impact of capital markets on nonfinancial services businesses. This point is easily seen in the cost of credit, or the lack of credit. However the impact is much greater than mere credit. An example is unfudned pension and other post retirement benefit plans (OPEB). The cost of not restoring trust in the capital markets needs to be understood, in all aspects. The price is high (e.g., government spending and assuming risk) on both sides of the argument. However all costs, on both sides, must be understood and measured before judgements are made.

Fair Value Accounting - The Good And Bad Of It In The Real World
September 15, 2008
Analysis by: Robert Kemp, Professor,Fair-Value Revolution: Historical cost accounting is fading as Corporate America marches into a new era. | www.cfo.com
Fair value accounting, or mark-to-market accounting, is not new. The debate of how to account for value has been around for decades. However the implications of fair value accounting, versus historical accounting, are far reaching and often not grasped. A society needs to be careful in setting accounting standards that may or may not reflect its cultural values.
