Abstract

[eng] The enigmatic fair value . Fair value is blamed for increasing artificial volatility and market inconsistency. However, fair value is, also, considered as able to give a true measurement of firm's value, including its financial instruments and off balance sheet items. The author explains fair value, the role of financial instruments in this accounting and the possible influence of fair value on market volatility. This article tries so to justify fair value accounting standards because they improve financial information with international and standardized rules. . JEL classifications : G14, M41 [fre] La juste valeur est dénoncée par beaucoup comme étant porteuse de volatilité artificielle et susceptible d'amplifier l'incohérence des marchés. Elle est soutenue par d'autres comme étant seule capable de rendre compte de toute la réalité de l'entreprise y compris de ses engagements hors bilan et de ses instruments financiers. En revenant sur la définition de la juste valeur, la place des instruments financiers dans cette comptabilisation et les possibles impacts de la juste valeur sur la volatilité des marchés, cet article tente de recrédibiliser le recours à de tels instruments, améliorant la transparence de l'information financière grâce à la mise en oeuvre de règles harmonisées pour leur comptabilisation et leur évaluation. . Classification JEL : G14, M41
