Is the World Ready for Another Financial Meltdown?
In the world of accounting and valuation, much consternation exists among CPAs, Government Auditors, Financial Analysts, and Credentialed Valuators regarding the determination of the fair value of financial instruments. Both the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) have identified the fair value reporting of financial instruments as one of the top priorities needing improvements. Most prominent among the reasons given for the failures to accurately determine the values of these financial constructs is the complexity of these instruments, which are steadily increasing as a result of enhanced computing capabilities
The Need for Uniform Standards in Valuing Financial Instruments
As financial reporting requirements evolve and regulatory oversight intensifies, accurate and consistent valuation of complex financial instruments is more important than ever.
“Financial reporting requirements related to complex financial instruments have continued to increase along with regulatory scrutiny on valuation-related conclusions.”
– Alok Mahajan
At the Center for International Business Valuation (CfIBV), we recognize the growing demand for specialized training in this area. The valuation of these instruments impacts accounting, taxation, and business valuation, requiring professionals to stay informed and equipped with current methodologies.
