In the ‘fair value through other comprehensive income’ model, the revaluation of assets does not affect the profit and the revaluation surplus fuels the equity. The impact of revaluation at fair value to the revaluation surplus allows that the revaluation does not increase the reported profit by the possible unrealized gains. As a result, dividends from the results of the revaluation cannot be rewarded to the owners. 1 Fair value measurement for financial instruments According to the standard setters FASB and IASB, the fair value of a financial instrument is defined, with minor differences depending on the particular accounting standards, as ‘the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction’, other than in a forced or liquidation sale (FASB, 1991; IASB, 2010).

This category describes how to use quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or other observable prices such as yield curves for the same or similar assets.

If such information is not available, fair value can be measured with a valuation model that reflects how market participants would reasonably be expected to value the instrument.
In particular, FASB and IASB established a fair value hierarchy with the objective to list into three general levels the market inputs used to measure fair value. The term ‘input’ is intended to refer generally to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. , unobservable inputs). The idea of unobservable inputs is designed by FASB to apply in situations characterized by little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date. In pricing an asset, unobservable inputs are disfavoured because they shall be used to assess fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.
