Event Synopsis:

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) seeks to streamline and expand footnote disclosures of financial instruments. Measurement of uncertainty in the fair values assigned to instruments and investments, especially when there is a lack of pricing information from markets, is also a current concern that FASB pursues to address.

The Board seeks out to define and improve reporting of entity roles in disclosures and fair value measurement so as to provide a consistent and reliable source of information for financial users.
