What is Fair value?

The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

TFRS 13 defines fair value as a market-based measurement and classifies inputs into three levels: Level 1 (quoted prices in active markets), Level 2 (other observable inputs) and Level 3 (unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models).

Investment property, derivatives and assets acquired in business combinations are measured at fair value.
