Summary/Abstract: On 12th September 2008, the US faced the crash of financial markets which spread diffusely to the financial markets across the world. Financial instruments of many global companies that were evaluated according to fair value became worthless.

In that context, the author examines some relevant issues of interest for considering the future of this controversial concept.
