Abstract This thesis analyzes and tests the effect of using fair value information for nonfinancial assets under asset-based lending technique on the judgment of commercial lenders in Egyptian commercial banks. The researcher reviews prior studies as a tool to derive hypotheses, and then employs appropriate statistical tools to test these hypotheses. The results indicate that the assessed degree of relevance of fair value estimate is affected by its assessed degree of reliability, a result consistent with the new joint conceptual framework. Additionally, both assessed degrees of relevance and reliability of fair value estimates are incorporated when assessing the degree of decision-usefulness of fair value information, a result consistent with the perspectives adopted for decision-usefulness of accounting information. Furthermore, most commercial lenders approve loans for high reliability fair value estimate condition with relatively low risk-premium assigned for approved loans, a result consistent with the stated merits of using fair value information in the context of commercial lending environment. |
