Fair value regimes under Lux GAAP Accounting Law of 19 December 2002

• Are investments in affiliated undertakings eligible for the Fair Value ("FV") regime Lux GAAP? What about buildings?
• What would be the impact on my disclosures?
• Where shall I record the unrealised gain? Is this gain available for distribution? Aren't they any derogations?

These are the kind of questions Lux GAAP practitioners may wonder about.

Since 2010, the legislator introduced the possibility to opt for the FV regimes in the 19 December 2002 accounting Law: the annual accounts prepared on that basis are still compliant with Lux GAAP requirements.

This 2 hours training will give participants an overview of the different regimes as well as answers to frequently asked questions regarding the disclosure, distribution and allocation impacts induced by the implementation of a FV regime.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• understand the different FV regimes existing in accounting Law;
• explain the limits and conditions to refer to FV regimes under Lux GAAP;
• understand the practical aspects in relation with the FV regimes.

• Introduction
• Lux GAAP FV regimes: overview
• Lux GAAP FV regimes: practical aspects
