Summary of IAS/IFRS and U.S. GAAP
820 Fair Value Measurement
Summary of IAS/IFRS and U.S. GAAP
As a result of the issuance of IFRS 13, differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs on fair value measurement
have narrowed so they are very similar. However, certain differences remain. For a discussion of these
differences, see the “10.1. Other Matters –Fair Value Measurement ” section of the publication Comparison
between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The following summarizes the significant
differences between Topic 820 and IFRS 13. The information is derived primarily from the Summary section
of ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement and the Basis of Conclusions in IFRS 13.
IAS/IFRS IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and
requires disclosure about fair value measurements. The fair value measurement guidance applies to other
International Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (collectively IFRSs) that require or permit fair value measurement (both initial and subsequent measurement) or disclosure about fair
value measurements (with certain exceptions).
U.S. GAAP Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement provides a consistent definition of fair value and how entities should
measure fair value when required to or have elected to use fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes.
Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosure about fair value measurements. The fair value measurement guidance applies to other
accounting guidance that requires or permits fair value measurement (both initial and subsequent
measurement) or disclosure about fair value measurements (with certain exceptions).
Summary Discussion
Different assets, liabilities, and equity
instruments are measured at fair
value.
The Boards separately discussed the scope of their respective fair value
measurement standards because of the differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs
in the measurement bases specified in other standards for both initial recognition and subsequent measurement. [Topic 820 paragraph BC14; IFRS 13 paragraph
BC19 ]

There are different accounting
requirements for measuring the fair
value of investments in investment companies.
Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies , requires an investment
company to recognize its underlying investments at fair value at each reporting
period. Topic 820 provides a practical expedient that permits an entity with an investment in an investment company to use as a measure of fair value in specific
circumstances the reported net asset value without adjustment. IFRS 10
Consolidated Financial Statements requires an investment company to
consolidate its controlled underlying investments. Because IFRSs do not have
accounting requirements that are specific to investment companies, the IASB decided that it would be difficult to identify the when such a practical expedient could
be applied given the different practices for calculating net asset values in
jurisdictions around the world. For example, investment companies may report in
accordance with national GAAP, which may have recognition and measurement
requirements that differ from those in IFRSs (i.e., the underlying investments might not be measured at fair value or they might be measured at fair value in accordance
with national GAAP, not IFRSs). [IFRS 13 paragraph BC238(a) ]
There are different requirements for
measuring the fair value of a deposit
liability.
In U.S. GAAP, Topic 825, Financial Instruments , and Topic 942, Financial Services
—Depository and Lending , describe the fair value measurement of a deposit
liability as the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Paragraph 47 of IFRS 13 states that the fair value measurement of a financial liability with a demand
feature (e.g., demand deposits) cannot be less than the present value of the
amount payable on demand. [IFRS 13 paragraph BC238(b)]
There are different disclosure
requirements.
Because IFRSs generally do not allow net presentation for derivatives, the amounts
disclosed for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value
hierarchy might differ. The Boards are reviewing the presentation requirements for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities.
IFRSs require a quantitative sensitivity analysis for financial instruments that are
measured at fair value and categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Topic 820 has different disclosure requirements for nonpublic entities. The FASB
concluded that some of the disclosures should not be required for nonpublic entities because of the characteristics of the users of the financial statements of those
entities. In contrast, the IASB's International Financial Reporting Standard for Small
and Medium-sized Entities addresses the accounting for entities that do not have
public accountability and the disclosures about their fair value measurements. [IFRS
13 paragraph BC238(c) ]

IAS/IFRS: Scope
10 Overall
Background Some IFRSs require or permit entities to measure or disclose the fair value of assets, liabilities or their own
equity instruments. Because those IFRSs were developed over many years, the requirements for measuring
fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements were dispersed and, in many cases,
did not articulate a clear measurement or disclosure objective. Some of those IFRSs contained limited
guidance about how to measure fair value, whereas others contained extensive guidance and that guidance
was not always consistent across those IFRSs that refer to fair value. Inconsistencies in the requirements for
measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements contributed to diversity
in practice and reduced the comparability of information reported in financial statements. IFRS 13 remedies
that situation. IFRS 13 is the result of work by the IASB and the FASB to develop common requirements for
measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with IFRSs
and US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Scope (IAS/IFRS)
Summary IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and
requires disclosure about fair value measurements. The fair value measurement guidance applies to other
IFRSs that require or permit fair value measurement (both initial and subsequent measurement) or
disclosure about fair value measurements, except in specified circumstances. IFRS 13 explains how to
measure- and disclose fair value information for financial reporting, but it does not change the types of
assets and liabilities that are required to or are permitted to be measured at fair value or introduce new fair
value measurements or valuation standards.
Limitations: IFRS 13 does not apply to (IFRS 13, paragraph 6 and 7 ):
Share-based payment transactions within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment (see the 718
Compensation − Stock Compensation chapter);
Leasing transactions within the scope of IAS 17 Leases (see the 840 Leases chapter); and
Measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value (e.g., net realizable value
in IAS 2 Inventories [see the “10 Overall – Cost Methods-Alternative Methods ” section of the 330
Inventory chapter] or value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets [see the “10 Overall – Recoverability
of Carrying Amounts – General” section of the 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment chapter]).
The disclosure requirements of IFRS 13 are not required for the following:
Plan assets measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits ;
10/2/22, 11:27 AM
5/122
Retirement benefit plan investments measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 26 Accounting and
Reporting by Retirement Benefit Plans ; and
Assets for which recoverable amount is fair value less costs of disposal in accordance with IAS 36.
An entity that manages a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on the basis of its net exposure to
either market risks or credit risk may apply an exception to IFRS 13 (as an accounting policy decision) for
measuring fair value (see the “10 Overall – Application to Financial Assets and Liabilities with Offsetting
Positions ” section of this chapter).

Eliminate the practicability exceptions to fair value measurements (see paragraph 820-10-15-3 );
Apply measurements that are similar to fair value but that are not intended to measure fair value, for
example, measurements that are based on, or otherwise use, standalone selling price, and inventory
pricing (see the “10 Overall – Cost Methods – Alternative Methods " section of the 330 Inventory
chapter);
Apply to accounting guidance that addresses leasing transactions (see the 840 Leases chapter) (this
exception does not apply to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination or an
acquisition by a not-for-profit entity that are required to be measured at fair value under Topic 805,
Business Combinations , regardless of whether those assets and liabilities are related to leases);
Apply to the recognition and measurement of revenue from contracts with customers (see the 606
Revenue from Contracts with Customers chapter); or
Apply to the recognition and measurement of gains and losses on the derecognition of nonfinancial
assets (see the “20 Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets” section of the

IAS/IFRS: Definition of Fair Value
Definition of Fair Value (IAS/IFRS)
Summary Fair value is defined by IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.”
Fair value is a market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement. A fair value
measurement requires assumptions (including assumptions about risk) that market participants would use.
Market approach is defined as a “valuation technique that uses prices and other relevant information
generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (ie similar) assets, liabilities or a group
of assets and liabilities, such as a business (IFRS 13, Appendix A .)” The valuation of the asset is dependent
on market information and is not affected by the entity that owns the asset or holds the liability.
Proper identification of market participants is a key concept underlying the measurement under the market
approach (see the “10 Overall – Market Participants ” section of this chapter).
The Fair Value Measurement Approach
The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability at the measurement date. A fair value measurement requires an entity to
determine:
The particular asset or liability that is the subject of the measurement, consistently with its unit of
account (see the “10 Overall – The Asset or Liability ” section of this chapter). Unit of account is
defined as the “level at which an asset or a liability is aggregated or disaggregated in an IFRS for
recognition purposes (Appendix A).
For a nonfinancial asset, the valuation premise that is appropriate for the measurement, consistently
with its highest and best use (see the “10 Overall – Application to Non-Financial Assets ” section of
this chapter). (Highest and best use is the use that would maximize the value of the non-financial
asset or the group of assets and liabilities.)
The principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset or liability (see the 10 Overall – The
Transaction ” section of this chapter). The principal market is the one with greatest volume and
activity related to the asset or liability and the most advantageous is the amount that would be received
after considering the most advantageous transaction and delivery costs.
The valuation technique(s) appropriate for the measurement, considering the availability of data with
which to develop inputs that represent the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing
the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy within which the inputs are categorized.
(See the “10 Overall – Valuation Techniques ” section of this chapter for a discussion of
measurement methods in IFRS 13 as well as detailed guidance on the definition the fair value hierarchy
which determines the classification of each asset and liability measured at fair value in the levels 1, 2
and 3.)
