This morning, just in time for today's SEC roundtable on the topic, NPR's Morning Edition aired a 5 minute audio piece on mark-to-market accounting. Correspondent David Kestenbaum's report provides a concise and plain language description of the mark-to-market accounting concept and the controversy surrounding it. In their typical Morning Edition style, the piece contained quotes from various sides of the controversey over whether to reform mark-to-market accounting requirements, or do away with the concept altogether.

Perlow's short piece, Fair Value Accounting: SEC and FASB Relax Fair Value Rules; Controversy Continues, discussing the competing forces shaping the SEC and FASB's recent re-examination of mark-to-market accounting.
