摘要
Even though fair value accounting (FVA) enjoys widespread support from standard setters around the world, the practice of marking assets and liabilities to market remains controversial. While FVA affects all firms to a certain extent, financial institutions are most affected due to the nature of the assets that they hold. In this paper, we first discuss fair value measurement and its application before exploring the consequences of FVA, including its impact on regulatory capital. We then discuss key benefits and challenges of FVA. Standard setters believe that FVA provides the most relevant information to financial statement users; however, the increased relevance comes with a cost of reduced reliability due to the estimation involved. More recently, concerns have been raised about FVA leading to procyclicality and contagion that can cause or exacerbate boom and bust cycles. After summarizing the literature, we identify opportunities for additional research. Enqu & ecirc;te sur la recherche portant sur la comptabilit & eacute; & agrave; la juste valeur pour les institutions financi & egrave;resQuoique la comptabilit & eacute; & agrave; la juste valeur (CJV) jouisse d'un vaste soutien de la part des organismes de normalisation du monde entier, la pratique consistant & agrave; & eacute;valuer les actifs et les passifs au prix du march & eacute; demeure controvers & eacute;e. Bien que la CJV ait une certaine incidence sur toutes les soci & eacute;t & eacute;s, les institutions financi & egrave;res sont les plus touch & eacute;es en raison de la nature des actifs qu'elles d & eacute;tiennent. Dans cette & eacute;tude, nous abordons d'abord l'& eacute;valuation de la juste valeur et son application, puis nous nous penchons sur les cons & eacute;quences de la CJV, dont son impact sur le capital r & eacute;glementaire. Nous discutons ensuite des principaux avantages et d & eacute;fis associ & eacute;s & agrave; la CJV. Les organismes de r & eacute;glementation sont d'avis que la CJV fournit les renseignements les plus pertinents aux utilisateurs des & eacute;tats financiers; toutefois, cette plus grande pertinence s'accompagne d'un co & ucirc;t, soit une r & eacute;duction de la fiabilit & eacute; en raison des estimations qu'elle suppose. Plus r & eacute;cemment, on a formul & eacute; certaines pr & eacute;occupations selon lesquelles la CJV m & egrave;ne & agrave; la procyclicit & eacute; et & agrave; la contagion, ce qui peut causer ou exacerber des cycles d'expansion et de ralentissement. Apr & egrave;s avoir offert un sommaire de la litt & eacute;rature & agrave; ce sujet, nous cernons des possibilit & eacute;s de recherche additionnelle.
