NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | 12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2011
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Effective August 1, 2008, Asure adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of FASB ASC 820 did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which is based on the reliability of the inputs used in measuring fair values. These tiers include:
Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: | Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities; and model-driven valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively:
|  |  |  |  | Fair Value Measure at December 31, 2011 |
|  | Total |  |  | Quoted |  |  | Significant |  |  |  |
|  | Carrying |  |  | Prices |  |  | Other |  |  | Significant |
|  | Value at |  |  | in Active |  |  | Observable |  |  | Unobservable |
|  | December 31, |  |  | Market |  |  | Inputs |  |  | Inputs |
Description |  | 2011 |  |  | (Level 1) |  |  | (Level 2) |  |  | (Level 3) |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |  | $ | 1,067 |  |  | $ | 1,067 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | - |
Derivative Liability |  |  | (835 | ) |  |  | - |  |  |  | (835 | ) |  |  | - |

Other Financial Assets and Liabilities Financial assets and liabilities with carrying amounts approximating fair value include cash, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The carrying amount of these financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value because of their short maturities. The Company’s line of credit and notes payable, subordinated convertible notes payable and subordinated notes payable including current portion, as of December 31, 2011, had a carrying value of $6,419. This carrying value approximates fair value. The fair value is based on interest rates that are currently available to us for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. See Note #4 for further discussion of the valuation of the Company’s derivative liability
