RESEARCH + PUBLICATIONS
AICPA Fair Value Measurement University Task developed the Model Fair Value Measurement Curriculum (MFVMC) as a resource for accounting and finance educators seeking to develop or enhance their course offerings. The MFVMC was designed to help students gain a foundational knowledge of fair value measurements and to increase students’ chances for success, regardless of their chosen career path.The MFVMC’s primary objective is to provide students with an understanding of the role fair value measurement plays in disclosures and information made available in financial statements. To achieve this objective, the MFVMC provides accounting and finance educators a framework that helps students organize their knowledge. The framework consists of a series of fair value measurement topics, whether in a single course or multiple courses, which progress in an integrated and logical manner. The MFVMC can be tailored to specific needs or adopted in its entirety. The MFVMC can also be used to integrate fair value measurement theory into an established accounting or finance curriculum.
