Paragraph 34B
England, Wales and Scotland
The fair value of a financial instrument is determined in accordance with this paragraph.
If a reliable market can readily be identified for the financial instrument, its fair value is determined by reference to its market value.
If a reliable market cannot readily be identified for the financial instrument but can be identified for its components or for a similar instrument, its fair value is determined by reference to the market value of its components or of the similar instrument.
If neither sub-paragraph (2) nor (3) applies, the fair value of the financial instrument is a value resulting from generally accepted valuation models and techniques.
Any valuation models and techniques used for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) must ensure a reasonable approximation of the market value.
