What is Fair value hierarchy?

The structure that classifies the inputs used in fair value measurements into three levels according to their observability.

Level 1 means quoted prices in active markets; Level 2 other directly or indirectly observable inputs; Level 3 unobservable inputs such as the entity's own cash flow forecasts. Level 3 measurements require more disclosure and audit work.
