Jiří Strouhal

Abstract—Paper discusses the issues of currently used valuation models in financial reporting systems. During last three decades there could be seen a visible trend of shifting from traditional historical costs accounting towards fair value accounting (or mark-to-market accounting respectively). The analytical part of this paper addresses the impact of studied valuation models on selected financial ratios with the purpose of identifying the most and the less sensitive ones on various valuation models.

Index Terms—Financial reporting, revaluation models, financial analysis, IFRS, accounting harmonization.
