Using 24 bankers as volunteer subjects, this study examined the effects of tolerance for ambiguity, a personality variable, on bankers' perceptions of loan risk. Subjects who were classified as scoring high and low on tolerance for ambiguity on the basis of a median score split on MacDonald's version of Rydell and Rosen's scale were given identical financial information about a company including a footnote disclosure on an uncertainty regarding pending litigation and a “subject to” audit qualification. They were requested to estimate interest rate premiums they would recommend for a loan application. The subjects' estimates of interest rate premiums were used to operationalize loan risk. Tolerance for ambiguity affected subjects' perceptions of loan risk, with individuals low on tolerance for ambiguity requiring higher interest rate premiums than individuals high on tolerance for ambiguity.

In recent years, the trading of interest payments on debt obligations has become a major form of off-balance sheet financing. As swaps have increased in dollar volume, the amount of financial disclosure about these instruments has remained nonexistent or minimal. Yet, even with a lack of financial information available to evaluate swaps, previous analyses of swaps have always focused on their positive aspects. Our analysis finds there are negative aspects to swaps that need to be considered. The issues of lack of financial disclosure, unfavorable changes in risk exposure as well as questions about risk evaluations of firms involved in swaps are all related to the negative aspects of swaps. These issues are considered here. It is concluded that although there are advantages to swaps, these advantages are intrinsic to the instrument itself rather than to the alleged arbitrage profits. Furthermore, an example is used to illustrate how a firms risk exposure can be altered by a swap agreement. The ability of the market to evaluate the change in this risk may be hampered by lack of financial disclosures.

Integrated reporting is a key instrument used to inform stakeholders about the sustainability issues of a company. Only an assured report can effectively instill confidence in its users regarding the sustainability of the company. Based on the International Integrated Reporting Framework issued by the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), the authors solicited perceptions from auditors and audit report users about several aspects of integrated reporting assurance. An analysis of the responses suggests that integrated reporting assurance is important, but there are many challenges (both methodological and related to the characteristics of non-financial information) for auditors to overcome. Reporting companies and auditors must work to overcome these problems. The former ones must improve the quality of non-financial information and the later must adapt their audit procedures. This paper provides valuable insights into preferences regarding the form and content of the audit report on integrated reporting. This study is useful to regulators of audit activity, auditors’ corporations, the IIRC, and other international associations, academics, and audit report users, and contributes to the current integrated reporting literature by examining the perceptions of auditors and users regarding the assurance of integrated reporting. Integrated reporting assurance is still an under-explored field of research.

AbstractWe illustrate how the combination of both ‘backward-looking’ and ‘forward-looking’ perspectives serves as a powerful catalyst for profitable exploration. The phrase ‘backward-looking’ refers to a company's discipline to rapidly learn from their past performance. The process utilizes tracking predictive performance to focus on patterns from exploration parameter results relative to forecasts. The learnings are implemented through technology applications and improved forecasts that can lead ultimately to a more predictive (i.e. calibrated) portfolio. This discipline may be viewed as time-consuming, but is a critical part of the role of a professional. Often we observe that a calibrated state of accurately estimating the chance of success was achieved before a company reached a calibrated state of prospect pre-drill size prediction. The phrase ‘forward-looking’ here refers to a company's ability to conduct three tasks. First, exploration from a play perspective that quantifies candidate plays in a comparative sense. Second, integrate quantitative play analysis and an understanding of their risk-tolerance levels in order to build comprehensive models of how different plays can compete to best accomplish the goals of corporate strategy. Third, to apply the same discipline of unbiased, calibrated estimation to the characterization of prospects as they are technically matured to the drill-ready state.

This article discusses a new approach to financial analysis of a company, using the technique known as a function of fractal interpolation, to calculate missing observations in a database containing financial information about an organization. Numerical experiments were carried out to compare the effects of using traditional linear interpolation with the function of fractal interpolation, revealing that the data adjusts better to the fractal method.
