It is a market–based measurement, not an entity–specific measurement. Management. Externally restricted funds may only be utilised in accordance with the purposes When measuring fair value, management uses the assumptions that market participants established by the source of such funds or through the terms of an appeal and are in contrast would use when pricing the asset or liability under current market conditions, including with unrestricted funds over which Executive Committee retains full control to use in achieving assumptions about risk.
