Insights into IFRS 13 - Fair value measurement

By:

Mark Hucklesby,

23 Jun 20211 min read

IFRS 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ explains how to measure fair value by providing clear definitions and introducing a single set of requirements for almost all fair value measurements.

This Standard clarifies how to measure fair value when a market becomes less active. IFRS 13 applies to both financial and non-financial items but does not address or change the requirements on when fair value should be used.

IFRS 13 has been effective since 1 January 2013 and was subject to a Post Implementation Review (PIR) in 2017. As a result of this PIR, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) concluded that IFRS 13 is working as intended. Specifically:

the information required by IFRS 13 is useful to users of financial statements
some areas of IFRS 13 present implementation challenges, mainly in areas requiring judgement. However, evidence suggests that practice is developing to resolve these challenges, and
no unexpected costs have arisen from application of IFRS 13.

The IASB therefore concluded no changes were required to IFRS 13.

In this insight you will find:
