fair value option to financial or
servicing assets and liabilities.
The agencies believe that the
proposed information is necessary to
more accurately assess the impact of fair
value accounting and fair value
measurements for safety and soundness
purposes. The collection of the
information on Schedule Q, as
proposed, will facilitate and enhance
the banking agencies’ ability to monitor
the extent of fair value accounting by
branches, including the elective use of
fair value accounting and the nature of
the inputs used in the valuation process,
pursuant to the disclosure requirements
of ASC Topic 820. The information
collected on Schedule Q is consistent
with the disclosures required by ASC
Topic 820 and consistent with industry
practice for reporting fair value
measurements and should, therefore,
not impose significant incremental
burden on branches.
