5. There are many legitimate approaches to valuation that are socially relevant and ensure compliance with required financial accounting standards. The project is an effort to find common ground among often disparate opinions. Goal to create a white paper or standards. But first, there are three major challenges to address……

7.  Exit price notion, from market participant perspective (ASC 820-10-30-2)  The transaction to sell the asset occurs in the principal market (i.e. provides the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset) or the most advantageous market (i.e. maximizes the amount received from a sale) if a principal market is not available (ASC 820-10-35-5)  They should not be adjusted for transaction costs (ASC 820-10-35-7).  They assume the highest and best use of the asset by market participants (i.e. maximizes the value of the assets) (ASC 820-10-35-10).

9.

13. There should be a clear and transparent donation valuation framework that complies with all applicable external accounting requirements.

14. Valuation frameworks must be GAAP compliant, subject to accounting interpretation within the law, but consistent in application.

15. The valuation framework should reflect the wide range of products, sources, markets and recipients.

16. The valuation process should be documented through written procedures and practices and published as part of an organization’s financial statements.

17. Primary focus should remain on the recipients; the community, the receiving institution, and the patient. Where there is a conflict between valuation and service to this population, we will make decisions that first do no harm to the recipients, within the law.
