Understanding the Current Status Of “Mark-to-Market” Accounting Standards
Overview:
Critics contend that Mark-to-Market Accounting Standard is one of the causes of the country’s financial dilemma. Otherwise known as “fair value accounting,” this standard requires companies to value securities they hold at their current selling price. Banks are apprehensive because they fear that this standard might have an adverse effect on the valuation of their assets. Mark-to-Market accounting is likely here to stay, therefore companies need to understand how to best manage their positions held in financial instruments to survive in this challenging environment.
The Knowledge Congress is assembling a panel of distinguished professionals and key regulators to discuss recent developments on this regulation. The speakers will present their expert opinions in a two-hour LIVE Webcast.
