Financial crises have had a decisive influence on banking regulations in Spain. During the mid-19th century the publication of the financial statements of banks was considered key to the stability of the financial system. All new joint stock banking companies were to publish their statements in the Madrid Gazette in return for the privilege of limited liability. Similar obligations were placed on issuing banks. The copious publication of financial statements coincided with a period of financial prosperity. However, the crises that followed from 1864 to 1868 led to a reduction in the official publication of statements. This paper is concerned with an early response to crises in financial reporting. The study focuses on the relationship between the publication of accounting statements by banks and the GDP in Spain during the mid-19th century. The results suggest that the frequency of publication of financial statements may be an indicator of economic performance.

We find a negative relationship between aggregate CSR scores and the probability that firms restated financial statements over the period 1991-2012. We then break that period into three sub-periods in order to determine whether the relationship holds for all three sub-periods. During the sub-periods of 1991-2001 and 2002-2005, the negative CSR score - restatement probability relationship holds. The negative relationship disappears in the 2006-2012 sub-period. Additional analyses indicate CSR scores are significantly higher in the 2006-2012 sub-period, suggesting the disappearance of the relationship between aggregate CSR scores and financial statement quality may relate to changes in CSR assessments and the CSR reporting environment. Our findings update the literature linking CSR scores and financial reporting quality and identify the need for further research as to the reasons the link between these constructs disappeared.

The article, based on a retrospective analysis of theoretical approaches to the concept of capital, examines the legality of its reflection in the accounting (financial) reporting system. The dilemma of an organization's choice of an accounting policy for the revaluation of fixed assets or the mandatory use of it, discussed today in the professional community, justifies the democratic approach used in international financial reporting standards in the author's reading. Critical assessment refers to the methodology for reflecting the revaluation results on accounting sets and in the forms of accounting (financial) statements.

This study aims to find out the relationship of readability over financial reporting footnotes and audit outcomes. Audit outcomes are projected by audit fees and audit report lag.  Researchers used data from the company's financial statements listed on IDX in 2015-2018. Researchers used purposive sampling. From the copying, researchers processed 184 company data. This study used the panel's data regression analysis method. Data processing uses Generalized - least - squares.  This research proves that the worse the readability, the lower the audit fee.  Meanwhile, the worse the readability, the more time it takes the auditor to carry out an examination of the financial statements. This phenomenon occurs because the condition of the readability of notes to financial statements in Indonesia is still at a low level.

We determine their purpose as part of accounts when they are aggregated into the balance sheet. Methods. We determined promising lines of the accounting theory and practice by analyzing the institutional economics, Conceptual Framework for the Financial Reporting, Integrated Reporting Concept that amplified the scope of accounting, since they recognize economic phenomena of business operations, such as obligations and liabilities. Results. Contractual obligations should be considered as a consequence of obligations that an entity has due to part events. The substance of the contractual obligations depend on the economic resource to be transferred in the future. Contractual obligations should be entered into accounting records and measured as of the signing date of the contract. The economic substance of the contractual obligations significantly differs from the accounting view of accounts receivable and payable. Conclusions and Relevance.

ABSTRACT This case provides an opportunity to examine numerous issues related to financial reporting for nonprofits, including the usefulness of generally accepted accounting principles, the level of assurance provided by an audit, the importance of each of the three basic financial statements and notes, and the financial reporting requirements for nonprofits. We specifically highlight the function of the media in financial disclosure for nonprofits. Students are able to see firsthand the type of financial reporting that may result if GAAP is not followed and there is no audit. Moreover, students have the opportunity to learn how incomplete financial reporting affects the relationship between stakeholders and administrators in a nonprofit environment. The case centers around actual events that occurred in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans from 2001 to 2009, and therefore provides a realistic learning environment. Finally, the case provides students the opportunity to engage in role-playing as financial managers and stakeholders.

In a report issued in 1994, the Jenkins Committee advocated the integration of managerial statistics, which could be used to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of a firm's management, into financial statements. This study traces the development, and subsequent demise, of similar managerial information within the financial statements of the Quincy Mining Company in the nineteenth century. Two contemporary models for financial disclosure are developed for comparative purposes and it is concluded that the Quincy Mining Company intentionally restricted the information available to shareholders. By clarifying the disclosure practices of a single firm in an unregulated environment, this study provides insights to the origins of modern financial reporting.
