The Revised Standard on Auditing (SA) 540, ‘Auditing Accounting Estimates, Including Fair Value Accounting Estimates, and Related Disclosures’ provides timely guidance on audit of fair value and accounting estimates in the current times of market uncertainty and liquidity crunch. Accounting estimate is an approximation of a monetary amount in the absence of precise means of measurement. Risk of material misstatement increases significantly since accounting estimate involves the use of judgment by the management. This Standard provides specific guidance to auditor while verifying the valuation of complex financial instruments which are not traded in active and open market and transactions involving the exchange parties without monetary consideration. This Standard is applicable for audits of financial statements for periods beginning on or after April 1, 2009.’
