*This course is formally known as (E142) Ethical Issues In Valuation

 

Programme Objective

 

Professional accountants in business are often involved in the preparation of financial related information used by numerous stakeholders. The evolution of FRS has led to more items within the financial statements being measured using current cost measurement e.g. fair value and value in use. As such, some of the following questions may arise:

 

• When is fair value and value in use required?
• What are the key valuation inputs required? How do we assess its reasonableness?
• Which fundamental principles may be threatened?
• How can we practically eliminate or reduce such threats?
