The Study on the Effect of the Number of Due Diligence on Financial Assets on Restraining Earnings Management

Significance Yet snowballing interest outpaces crypto's use in any of the three main roles of money: a medium of exchange, unit of account or store of value. Crypto accounts for a sliver of US financial assets and retail sales. It remains overshadowed by its reputation as the currency of cybercriminals. Impacts Safeguards to prevent criminals from exploiting crypto will hinder legitimate crypto innovation. Transaction monitoring and know-your-customer due diligence will become a higher priority for crypto exchanges, reducing anonymity. Crypto's non-correlation with equity and bond price movements, an investor attraction, will lessen with broader use

Female Director

In this study, we analyze how female directorship and real earnings management of IT-friendly firms are empirically interrelated in context of an emerging economy, viz. Bangladesh. We undertake relevant statistical procedures by utilizing a sample of 1914 firm-year observations as listed on the Dhaka Stock Exchangethroughout the period of 2000-2017.Our results imply that firms with female director(s) are more likely to be involved in real earnings management On the other hand, we also underscore that IT-friendly firms are less likely to be engaged in real earnings management and to provide superiorquality financial reports whereas the significance of this observation becomes more pronounced when conjoined with appointment of female directors in similar firms. We also find that IT-friendly firms with female directors are less probable to be involved in earnings management when compared to both ITfriendly firms with male director(s) and non-IT friendly firms. Based on the evidence, we discern that female directors are included in the board not only for fulfillment of stated quotas, but also for their demonstration of due diligence to restrain management from earnings management practices.

Ministry Of Finance

On March 31, 2017, the Ministry of Finance revised and issued three new financial instrument accounting standards including Accounting Standards for Enterprises No.22- Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. The banks of China’s A and H stocks have implemented the new standards since January 1, 2018. From January 1, 2021, the scope of implementation of the standards covers all non-listed commercial banks. The new financial instrument standards have undergone great changes in the classification and impairment treatment of financial assets, which is bound to have a profound impact on Chinese commercial banks. This article analyzes the impacts of new standards on Chinese commercial banks from the aspects of financial asset classification and measurement, impairment, credit risk management, profit and earnings management. Finally, the paper puts forward several suggestions and measures on the system and model construction, credit policy and post-loan risk management and talent training, in order to facilitate banks smooth the transition to the new standards.

Firm Evidence

In this paper, we investigate the relation between the different accounting treatments of R&D expenditures and the risk of the entity in order to identify under which treatment insiders are more likely to carry out earnings management. By analysing the R&D investment strategies of a sample of 137 listed Italian entities that complied with the requirements of IAS 38 during fiscal year 2009, following Lantz and Sahut (2005), we calculate several indexes that show the preferences of insiders to account R&D expenditures as costs or capital assets, and we study the relation of such preferences with the risk of the entity, which we measure with the unlevered beta. We hypothesize that the entities, which considered the R&D investments as costs, are the riskiest ones due to the higher probability that insiders carried out earnings management. Our results confirm such hypothesis. This paper could have implications for academics and standard setters that could learn that behind accounting discretion, insiders could opportunistically behave against outsiders.
