Abstract

[eng] The role of fair value in accounting for financial instruments. Under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as under all other main accounting regimes used around the world, most assets and liabilities are not presently measured at fair value. IFRS contains two notable exceptions : - for property plant and equipment and certain intangible assets, measurement at fair value is permitted (though not required). . - for some financial instruments, measurement at fair value is required. In addition, the JASB has recently proposed that any financial instrument not required to be measured at fair value be permitted to be measured at fair value at the entity's option. . It is the second of these categories that this article will focus on. These are the items that are most often suggested as candidates for measurement at fair value. It has also been suggested that much of the complexity of the present system of accounting for financial instruments could be removed if all financial instruments were to be measured at fair value. . JEL classifications : G14, M41. JEI classifications : G 14, M41 [fre] Actuellement, la plupart des actifs et passifs ne sont pas évalués à leur juste valeur. Les normes IFRS contiennent toutefois deux exceptions importantes : - l'évaluation à la juste valeur est autorisée pour les immobilisations corporelles et certaines immobilisations incorporelles ; . - elle est également requise pour certains instruments financiers. En outre, l'IASE a récemment proposé que tous les instruments financiers ne nécessitant pas une évaluation à la juste valeur puissent être comptabilisés à leur juste valeur si l'entité le souhaite. Le présent article porte essentiellement sur la deuxième de ces catégories. Ce sont les éléments qui sont le plus souvent proposés comme candidats à l'évaluation à la juste valeur. On entend également que la majeure partie de la complexité du système actuel de comptabilisation des instruments financiers pourrait être supprimée si tous les instruments financiers (et non certains) étaient évalués à leur juste valeur. . Classification JEL : G14, M41
