摘要
Fair value accounting has come under significant scrutiny in the wake of the sub-prime mortgage market crisis and subsequent global liquidity crisis. Commentators have questioned whether current market prices are consistent with the definition of fair value in Australian accounting standards, or whether current market prices are more indicative of distressed sales. We argue that these prices do indeed represent fair values and convey useful information for market participants.
