CCH Accounting Research Manager Adds FAS 157 Questions, Answers

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., June 19, 2008) – The CCH Accounting Research Manager® (ARM) – the premier research database of accounting, auditing, SEC and governmental authoritative literature and interpretive guidance – has enhanced its Audit Public library with an extensive set of questions and answers on Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 157. CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business is a leading provider of tax, accounting and audit information, software and services (CCHGroup.com).

“As standards change, our subscribers can rely on ARM to provide the interpretive guidance they need to implement the change,” said Brian Steinert, CCH product manager. “The Financial Accounting Standards Board has defined new standards with FAS 157, and accountants will benefit from the kind of guidance we’re providing in our FAS 157 Q&A to understand them.”

The FAS 157 Q&A focuses on issues of importance to corporate accounting departments. More than 110 questions cover topics such as:

  • Overview and Scope of FAS 157;
  • Definition and Measurement of Fair Value;
  • Primary Effects of FAS 157;
  • Fair Value Hierarchy;
  • Recurring and Non-recurring Valuation;
  • Principal and Most Advantageous Market;
  • Disclosure;
  • Risk Adjustment;
  • Exit and Entry Price;
  • Observable and Unobservable Inputs;
  • SEC MD&A Guidance; and
  • Effective Dates and Transition.
