FAS 157 - FASB Implements New Fair Value Rules
According to CFO.com, this is the biggest accounting issue for financial services CFOs this year. More than one quarter of finance executives predict that Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 - Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), the new Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB's) rule regarding fair value, will have the greatest impact on their business or finance team. It was released on September 15, 2006 and defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Find out more. |
Potential Regulations Affect Donations to Tax-Exempt Organizations
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Montana) has sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Paulson and Acting IRS Commissioner Brown expressing congressional concerns over the use of questionable appraisals involving charitable donations to tax-exempt organizations. Senator Baucus’ letter suggests that Congress may enact legislation to limit the deduction to basis only rather than fair market value.
In other matters, both the House and Senate are reviewing potential legislation to prevent residential and commercial mortgage lenders from applying pressure on appraisers to deliver values sufficient to support their loans. |
