Fair Value Measurement: Practical Guidance and Implementation, 2nd Edition

Acknowledgments

Most importantly, I want to thank Lynn Pierson for her assistance with this book. Without Lynn's efforts, this second edition, as well as the first, would not have been completed with nearly the quality and depth. I also want to thank Gina Miller for her assistance in updating the case study in Chapter 14, and Barbara Brown for her assistance in research and preparation of many of the exhibits.
