With the FASB changing the requirements for increasing categories of assets and liabilities to be shown at current
fair value, Fair Value for Financial Reporting answers this and other pertinent questions with crystal clarity.
Alfred King, a top expert in the field, provides financial executives and auditors with a deep understanding of
fair value reporting, the appraisal process, and appraisal services, and demystifies this topic with practical

Fair Value for Financial Reporting highlights the accounting and auditing requirements for fair value information
and offers a detailed explanation of how the FASB is going to change "fair value" with topics including:

appraisers come up with different results; auditing of valuation reports; and selecting and working with an appraiser.
