I enjoyed this course and learning how companies determine what a market participant is willing to pay for their assets and how that impacts the historical basis concepts used throughout accounting.

The instructor presents well both the concepts of valuation under various circumstances according to the codification as well as provides examples to clearly communicate how the concept is applied.

The instructor clearly explained the topic step by step and it is very easy to follow the lecture. It gave an overview on the topic that highlighted those important points. Highly recommended!

Great class on FASB ASC Topic 820. The CPE has extensive learning objectives that are met in a short period of time. I felt the instructor was effective in her delivery and teachings.

Great discussion on valuation. Instead of relying solely on market data, you can use these techniques as a checking for reasonableness of balances.

Well-organized course. I'm surprised by how much I don't know about fair value. Anyone teaching this in their courses would benefit.

Nice overview, and thoughtfully laid out. Would benefit from real-world examples as to why different levels of valuation are required.
