SEC & FASB "Clarify" FAS 157

More valuation news out of the SEC. Yesterday, the SEC and the FASB issued a joint clarification of FAS 157 (2008 WL 4411374). FAS 157: Fair Value Measurements, which went into effect in November, assigned "levels" to assets for valuation purposes. There was much agita that assets assigned "level-three" status would have to be written down. Also affected are AU 332 and SAB codification topic 5M.
