‘Fair value is a central notion in accounting practice, research and standard setting This book, whose chapters are authored by top-notch accountants and academics, rolls over each of these dimensions to provide an authoritative and comprehensive analysis of the state-ofart and future developments in this area I think it is a “must” for those interested in fair value accounting.’ Salvador Carmona, Rector, IE University, Spain Past President of the European Accounting Association and past editor of the European Accounting Review ‘Perhaps no issue in accounting has been as controversial as fair value Written from the unique perspectives of leading scholars around the world, this collection explores its far-reaching implications for managers, regulators, and the stability of financial markets An engaging and accessible foray into the complex world of fair value accounting.’ Karen Nelson, Texas Christian University, USA The Routledge Companion to Fair Value in Accounting The concept of ‘fair value’ marked a major departure from traditional cost accounting In theory, under this approach a balance sheet better reflects the current value of assets and liabilities Critics of fair value argue that it is less useful over longer time frames and prone to distortion by market inefficiencies resulting in pro-cyclicality in the financial system by exacerbating market swings Comprising contributions from a unique mixture of academics, standard-setters and practitioners, and edited by internationally recognized experts, this book, on a controversial and intensely debated topic, is a comprehensive reference source that • • • examines the use of fair value in international financial reporting standards (IFRS) and the US standard SFAS 157 Fair Value Measurement, setting out the case for and against; looks at fair value from a number of different theoretical and practical perspectives, including a critical review of the merits and arguments against the use of fair value accounting; and explores fair value accounting in practice, involvement in the Great Financial Crisis, implications for managerial reporting discretion, compensation and investment This volume is an indispensable reference that is deserving of a place on the bookshelves of both libraries and all those working in, studying or researching the areas of international accounting, financial accounting and reporting Gilad Livne is Professor of Accounting at the University of Exeter, UK Garen Markarian is Chair of Financial Accounting at WHU, Vallendar, Germany Routledge Compa nions in Busin ess, M a nagement a n d Accou nting Routledge Companions in Business, Management and Accounting are prestige reference works providing an overview of a whole subject area or sub-discipline These books survey the state of the discipline including emerging and cutting-edge areas Providing a comprehensive, up-to-date, definitive work of reference, Routledge Companions can be cited as an authoritative source on the subject A key aspect of these Routledge Companions is their international scope and relevance Edited by an array of highly regarded scholars, these volumes also benefit from teams of contributors that reflect an international range of perspectives Individually, Routledge Companions in Business, Management and Accounting provide an impactful one-stop-shop resource for each theme covered Collectively, they represent a comprehensive learning and research resource for researchers, postgraduate students and practitioners Published titles in this series include the following: The Routledge Companion to Air Transport Management Edited by Nigel Halpern and Anne Graham The Routledge Companion to the Geography of International Business Edited by Jonathan Beaverstock, Gary Cook, Jennifer Johns, Frank McDonald and Naresh Pandit The Routledge Companion to Risk, Crisis and Security in Business Edited by Kurt J Engemann The Routledge Companion to Fair Value in Accounting Edited by Gilad Livne and Garen Markarian For more information about this series, please visit: https://www.routledge.com/RoutledgeStudies-in-Genocide-and-Crimes-against-Humanity/book-series/RSGCH The Routledge Companion to Fair Value in Accounting Edited by Gilad Livne and Garen Markarian First published 2018 by Routledge Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon OX14 4RN and by Routledge 711 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017 Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, an informa business © 2018 selection and editorial matter, Gilad Livne and Garen Markarian;

family firms make less recourse to the fair value measurement required by the adoption of equity-based incentive systems; and the perception of exit strategies as a failures rather than a proper portfolio or business decision may lower the likelihood of family firms developing the intention to sell or liquidate non-current assets or group disposal pertaining to the family firm’s core business Existing studies provide conflicting theoretical arguments and empirical evidence on the use of financial leverage, while family firm risk-aversion may lead to refraining from a speculative use of derivatives Overall, the strategic and financial models of family firms can reduce the number of transactions for which IAS/IFRS mandate the disclosure or the recognition of accounting amounts using fair values Finally, we highlight that the potential impact of family firm status on fair value measurement quality has thus far been overlooked in literature Based on the two alternative views used in accounting literature to examine the impact of family firm status on earnings management and disclosure policies, it could be argued that family firm status may both enhance and reduce the reliability of fair value measurement However, arguments supporting the potential positive effect of family firm status on fair value measurement can be drawn combining prior studies on the antecedents of the delay in recognizing goodwill impairment and the still-scarce knowledge of the family firm status effect on this indirect application of fair value accounting Additional arguments in support of the potential existence of a positive effect of family firm status on fair value measurement could be drawn from integrating recent studies on impairment test implementations, and the impact of founding family ownership on accounting conservatism and on real earnings management Based on the converging arguments of these prior theoretical views and empirical evidence, we suggest that the specific set of priorities and preferences of family firms can positively affect the reliability of fair value measurement practices This study has several limitations We believe this chapter is a first step in the inquiry on fair value accounting and family firms, calling for further development to identify a more comprehensive understanding of the effects of family firm status on fair value accounting and thereby increase the generalizability of our findings The proposed relationships should then be tested in a subsequent research phase to confirm the existence of the identified effects Notes See IFRS 13, § See IFRS 13, § 24 See IFRS 13, §§ 27–30 References Abdel-Khalik, AR 2011, “Fair value accounting and stewardship”, Accounting Perspectives, vol 9, no 4, pp 253–269 Achleitner, A, Gunther, N, Kaserer, K, & Siciliano, G 2014, “Real earnings management and a ccrual-based earnings management in family firms”, European Accounting Review, vol 23, no 3, pp 431–461 Ali, A, Chen, T, & Radhakrishnan, S 2007, “Corporate disclosures by family firms”, Journal of Accounting and Economics, vol 44, no 1/2, pp 238–286 328 Fair value accounting and family firms Anderson, RC & Reeb, DM 2003, “Founding-family ownership and firm performance: evidence from the S&P 500”, Journal of Finance, vol 58, no 3, pp 1301–1328 André, P, Filip, A & Paugam, L 2015, “The effect of mandatory IFRS adoption on conditional conservatism in Europe”, Journal of Business, Finance & Accounting, vol 42, no 3–4, pp 482–514 Astrachan, J, Klein, SB & Smyrnios, KX 2002, “The F-PEC scale of family influence: a proposal for solving the family business definition problem”, Family Business Review, vol 16, no 3, pp 207–213 Barth, ME 1994, “Fair value accounting: evidence from investment securities and the market valuation of banks”, The Accounting Review, vol 69, pp 1–25 Barth, ME & Landsman WR 2010, “How did financial reporting contribute to the financial crisis?”, European Accounting Review, vol 19, no 3, pp 399–423 Bertrand, M & Schoar, A 2006, “The role of family in family firms”, Journal of Economic Perspectives, vol 20, no 2, pp 73–96 Chen, S, Chen, X & Cheng, Q 2008, “Do family firms provide more or less voluntary disclosure?”, Journal of Accounting Research, vol 46, vol 3, pp 499–536 Chen, S, Chen, X & Cheng, Q 2014, “Conservatism and equity ownership of the founding family”, European Accounting Review, vol 23, no 3, pp 403–430 Chrisman, JJ, Chua, JH & Sharma, P 2005, “Trends and directions in the development of a strategic management theory of the family firm”, Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, vol 29, no 5, pp 555–576 Christensen, HB, Lee, E & Walker, M 2015, “Incentives or standards: What determines accounting quality changes around IFRS adoption?”, European Accounting Review, vol 24, pp 31–61 Corbetta, G & Salvato, C 2004, “Self-serving or self-actualizing?
