Fair value disclosures by bank holding companies
Article Abstract:
The effects of the SFAS 107, or the fair value disclosures for financial instruments, on the share prices of bank holding companies showed that the accounting procedure is value-relevant to for securities, net loans, long-term debts and market-related off-balance sheet instruments. Reverting to a fair value accounting system could eliminate value-relevant historical cost information which could affect a bank's equity values.

The negative industry response to the adoption of fair value accounting methods is seen as misleading and temporary, and will be corrected as soon as refinements in accounting methods are employed.
