Scope : The
standard applies to most fair value
measurements and disclosures (including measurements based on
fair value) that are required or permitted by other IFRSs.
Three Basic Principle : ( 1) Fair
value is the price that woud be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. ( Exit Price ) (2) Market
participants are independent of each other,
they are knowledgeable and have a
reasonable understanding of the asset
or liability, and they are willing and able to
transact. (3) Fair
value measurement assumes that a transaction takes place in the
principal market (the market having the
greatest volume and level of activity) for the asset or liability
or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most
advantageous market for the asset or liability. ( CDTS. Visual Accounting )
