Responding to Non-compliance with Laws and Regulations (“NOCLAR”) (issued March 10, 2017)
The 法证及物业估价服务 (“FVS”) Section presents the following comments and observations regarding the potential impact these changes, 如果实现的话, could have on our FVS members and non-FVS members that provide FVS services. FVS Section leadership believes that NOCLAR should not be applicable to any non-attest service (certainly in its current form), and additional consideration should be given to application to attest work. 读了 评论信.

Fair Value Measurements and the Valuation Profession
2015年3月
2011年,美国会计师事务所总会计师.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) expressed concerns about the broadening application of fair value and fair value-based measures in U.S. GAAP and its impact on the reliability and consistency of valuations being conducted for U.S. 上市公司. His concerns were related to the following aspects of the valuation profession:
- Lack of a unified identity of valuation experts
- 多重估值凭证
- Lack of analytical consistency and valuation work product
- Lack of consistent qualifications and experience for valuation credentials
- Lack of consistent enforcement and disciplinary mechanisms for valuation experts
In 2013, the SEC Chief Accountant noted that valuation professional organizations (VPOs) had started initial discussions on how to address these concerns, but also noted that no substantial changes or progress had been achieved to date.
In 2014, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (188bet亚洲真人体育下载), 美国估价师协会, Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and The Appraisal Foundation (TAF), along with global valuation leaders from several large accounting firms and the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) began formal discussions regarding proposed solutions to the expressed concerns of the SEC Chief Accountant. Several meetings have been held and significant progress has been made.
在最初的会议中, the participating VPOs agreed to lead the creation of a new shared level of professionalism focused on a mandatory performance framework, 教育及质素保证. Current discussions include the concept of a valuation credential issued by VPOs with agreed upon qualifications and requirements. 展望未来, the group intends to focus on fair value measurements related to business valuation and intangible assets as performed for public company financial statements.
Representatives of these VPOs intend to meet with the SEC later this month to discuss potential solutions and obtain feedback regarding efforts currently underway. 在这次会议之后, the participating organizations plan to continue to meet in order to further develop this initiative. A specific plan will be submitted to interested stakeholders for public comment later this calendar year.
