Fair-value accounting for CVA, part two

Fair-value accounting for CVA

In the last issue of Risk (Risk January 2011, pages 111–115), the boundary conditions for measuring the fair value for CVA were described – and a key conclusion was that IAS 39 requires the evaluation of CVA to be performed on a fair-value basis by using market (credit) spreads, if available. The practical implications of measuring CVA under IAS 39 are now considered.
