IS THERE LIFE FOR FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING
AFTER 2008-2009 FINANCIAL CRISIS?
By Bikki Jaggi, James P. Winder, and C.F. Lee
Abstract
This paper evaluates the role of fair value accounting in recent financial crisis,
and examines whether the call for its demise is justified. Critics argue that fair
accounting regulation added to the volatility in financial markets and aggravated
financial crisis. On the other hand, supporters of this regulation argue that fair
value accounting has been the victim of recent financial crisis. They believe
that this regulation is important for providing transparent, reliable, and accurate
information on asset values to investors.
After evaluating the impact of fair value accounting regulation on financial crisis,
we examine negative and positive aspects of this regulation. Our discussion
shows that fair value accounting provides useful information during stable
market conditions, but its usefulness may become questionable during unstable
and volatile financial markets. Overall, this regulation has the support of
financial professional bodies. Some professionals are, however, concerned
about recent modification to the fair value accounting rule, i.e. FAS 157-4,
because this modification may not enhance reliability and accuracy of financial
information. Despite recent modification, discussion on fair value accounting is
far from over. Critics of the regulation still believe that this regulation should be
eliminated, but the positive aspects of this regulation support its continuation.
