The Standard defines fair value on the basis of an 'exit price' notion and uses a 'fair value hierarchy', which results in a market-based, rather than entity-specific, measurement. IFRS 13 was originally issued in May 2011 and applies to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

23. WHERE IS ALL OF THIS GOING?

24. STARDATE 2053 • The Alliance of Professional Valuation Organizations (APVO) announces the retirement of long time member and past national president of the Appraisal Institute Rick Borges, after 75 years of service. • Rick was president of AI in 2013 and retired briefly in 2028 but quickly returned to the profession after his wife, Lavonne, also an appraiser, told him she didn’t want him “just hanging around”

25. His re-entrance into the profession was extremely fortuitous. Rick immediately headed up a committee to battle the increasingly restrictive valuation guidelines imposed by UGLC ( Universe’s Giant Lending Consortium) (UHGLICK) • UGLC controlled all institutional lending for all property types throughout the galaxy and was hampering valuation professionals in their ability to perform ethical and competent valuations.

26. At the hearing before the Council of Interstellar Financial Guardians, his quote of “I’ll be damned if I’m going to restrict my comparables to the same planet or keep them within one light year of the date of valuation simply because UGLC says so” turned the tide in favor of our profession. • His impassioned defense of valuation professionals in all fields was the tipping point in the hearings that resulted in a dramatic overhaul of UGLC and the elimination of its choke hold over the valuation profession.

27. It was truly eventful night with many other luminaries from all of the valuation disciplines honored for their hard work and contributions to the valuation profession. • Following the awards ceremony the 10,000 attendees were treated to the superb musical musings of Fred Grubbe and his Jazz Junkies, until the early morning hours when the sun came up over all of Jupiter’s 66 moons.
