The 2014 Online Symposium on Fair Value Measurement is BVR’s latest in-depth webinar series. Throughout 2014, the monthly webinars that make up the Symposium will critically examine best practices, professional guidance, and judicial decisions that determine the practices of measuring fair value.

The first installment of the Fair Value Symposium, Overview of Fair Value Accounting (ASC topics 820, 805, 350 and 360) (January 14), features series curator Mark Zyla (Acuitas Inc.) on the state of fair value measurement. From the history of FASB guidance to the future of fair value measurement, Zyla’s critical look at fair value practices is not to be missed.
