Hedge Accounting

In consolidated accounting the reflection of the financial results of the valuation and the accounting processes can present a challenge. That requires the development of special procedures of the joint accounting of financial results of the hedging that are consistent with the provisions of IFRS.There is a typical situation, characterized by the following components: internal hedging operations initiated by subsidiaries to the parent company create open positions with different parameters for the parent company; maternal unit of the company responsible for the management of financial risks at the general group level, in order to eliminate the negative consequences of the changes of conditions for the groups in the market, can hedge transactions by buying a single forward contract with significantly different from intra-group transactions parameters.The need to develop special procedures of joint financial hedging results, consistent with the provisions of certain IFRS standards has been proven in the article. Within the limits of tasks there have been designed and documented evaluation procedures for joint accounts for hedge accounting fair value and cash flow hedging contracts groups formed as a purely financial articles, and non-financial articles. With a view to the practical implementation of the evaluation procedures there have been proposed the methods of assessment of corresponding objects of accounting as well as the aspects of hedge effectiveness criteria have been investigated.

The Effect of Applying Hedge Accounting in Reducing Future Financial Risks in Jordanian Commercial Banks The study aimed to identify the effect of applying hedge accounting on reducing the future financial risks of the Jordanian commercial banks by using financial ratios to find a practical method of calculating the hedge with its three categories and to address the future financial risks of commercial banks in Jordan. The researchers used both the descriptive and analytical methods based on the financial statements and reports of the Jordanian commercial banks for the period (2012-2017), in addition of using financial indicators. The study community included the published financial statements of the Jordanian commercial banks before applying hedge accounting and after in accordance with the amendments to IFRS Standard No. 9, as well as the banks listed in the Amman Exchange Market for the period of study. The sample of the study included all Jordanian commercial banks that disclosed the application of hedge accounting in their annual financial statements. The study concluded that there is a strong correlation between cash flow hedges and reducing the financial risks of Jordanian commercial banks after the application of hedge accounting for the period (2012-2017), and that there is a strong correlation between fair value hedges and reducing the financial risks. The fair value hedges have an explanatory capacity to reduce the financial risk by 27.4%. This has been derived from the R2 value. There is a weak correlation between the net investments in foreign currencies and the financial risks. The study recommended the importance of maintaining the use of hedge accounting to achieve fairness and honest representation in the final financial statements to the benefit of internal and external users.

Abstract. Introduction. The issue of financial risk management of commercial banks is quite relevant today, because the activity of banks is the most risky of all. The presence of risks in banking can lead to unexpected losses, namely the loss of own resources. That’s why for the stable operation of the bank without loss the priority is to assess the financial risks, which is the basis for their further neutralization. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to develop conceptual provisions for assessment financial risks and justifying the need to neutralize them. Results. The article analyzes the impact of risks on the financial stability of a banking institution. The main methods of bank risk assessment are considered. All these include the statistical method, the analytical method, the expert method, the analogue method and the combined method. The necessity of neutralization of financial risks in order to avoid negative consequences is substantiated. Also the methods of bank risks neutralization are considered. It should be noted that these methods of neutralization can not only be used, but also supplement the list with new methods must be done, which in the future will protect the bank from the influence of undesirable factors. A conceptual approach to the assessment and neutralization of financial risks is proposed. This conceptual approach aims to ensure effective assessment of the level of risk with their subsequent neutralization Conclusions. Use of a conceptual approach will allow an effective risk assessment and decision-making to avoid or accept risk. Thanks to using this approach, the banking institution will be able to react swiftly to the presence of financial risks and to prevent the occurrence of negative consequences, which may lead to a violation of the financial stability of the bank.

Resource Allocation Decisions

SYNOPSIS Regulations implemented by the SEC in 2003 and 2004 simultaneously shortened the financial statement filing deadlines and increased the time required for both the preparation of financial statements and the related audit of accelerated filers (AFs). However, there were indirect, unintended negative consequences for companies not subject to the regulations, namely, non-accelerated filers (NAFs). The new regulations imposed strains on auditor resources requiring auditors to make resource allocation decisions that negatively affected NAFs. We find that NAFs with an auditor who had a high proportion of AF clients (high-AF) had longer audit delays after the regulations were implemented than NAFs of an auditor with a low proportion of AF clients (low-AF). Further, we document that NAFs with high-AF auditors were more likely to change auditors than NAFs with low-AF auditors. Finally, NAFs that switched to auditors with less AFs experienced shorter audit delays after the auditor change. JEL Classifications: M42; M48.

ABSTRACTFinancial accounting standards require derivatives to be recognized at fair value with changes in value recognized immediately in earnings. However, if specified criteria are met, firms may use an alternative accounting treatment, hedge accounting, which is intended to better represent the underlying economics of firms' derivative use. Using FAS 161 disclosures, I examine determinants of hedge accounting use and the effects of hedge accounting on financial reporting and capital markets. I find variation in firms' hedge accounting use and provide evidence that compliance costs of applying hedge accounting affect firms' decision to use hedge accounting. Firms decrease their reported earnings volatility via derivatives that receive hedge accounting and could further decrease their earnings volatility if hedge accounting were applied to all their derivatives. Inconsistent with arguments given for using hedge accounting, I fail to find a decrease in investors' assessments of firm risk from using hedge accounting.JEL Classifications: M40; M41; G32.

The Influences of Financial Statement Recognition and Analyst Coverage on the Market's Valuation of R&D Capital

Merger Announcement

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS No. 141)'s requirement that an acquirer in a business combination estimate the fair value of the target's separately identifiable assets and liabilities (including research and development capital) provides a rare occasion where estimated fair values of U.S. firms' research and development (R&D) capital based on private information about their R&D activities are publicly disclosed. The degree to which equity values impound the estimated fair values of R&D depends upon the extent to which the private information implicit in the R&D estimates is reflected in investor expectations. Financial statement recognition of R&D capital and analyst activities have been cited as alternative mechanisms by which private information about firms' R&D activities can be revealed to investors. I investigate the degree to which both mechanisms lead to the public revelation of the private information implicit in the R&D fair value estimates by examining whether financial statement recognition of R&D assets by the target prior to the merger announcement and/or analyst coverage of a target prior to the merger announcement influence the degree to which the target's pre-merger announcement equity value reflects the acquirer's subsequently disclosed estimate of the fair value of the target's R&D capital. I find that the degree to which a target's pre-merger announcement equity value reflects the estimated fair value of its R&D capital is increasing in the amount of R&D-related intangibles captured in the target's pre-merger announcement balance sheets and in the number of analysts covering the target prior to the merger announcement. This evidence is consistent with the notion that both financial statement recognition and analysts' private information search activities lead to the revelation of private information about the value of R&D assets that investors incorporate into equity values. I further find that the positive relation between analyst following and the market's valuation of R&D capital is strongest for the portion of the estimated fair value of R&D capital that is unrecognized by the target prior to the merger announcement. This finding is consistent with analysts filling in the information gap left by the lack of financial statement recognition. The results of this study confirm the theorized roles of financial statement recognition and analyst activities in aiding the market's valuation of intangible assets.

Voluntary Adoption

The paper focuses on the potential benefits of fair value accounting (FVA) in the public sector and the shift towards the entity theory of consolidation supported by international accounting standards. The analysis of the Italian cases shows neither adjustments of the assets to their fair value, nor any recognition of intangibles other than goodwill in consolidated financial statement (CFS), maintaining the configuration of a municipal corporate group based on historical costs. These findings suggest a lack of focus on FVA by local governments (LGs), which is in contrast with international accounting standards. Using a combination of sources (such as annual reports and interviews), part of this paper is based on multiple-case studies of Italian LGs on the voluntary adoption of CFS.

Warfield Company is considering hedging the risk associated with (1) an available-for-sale (AFS) security portfolio and (2) an anticipated purchase of oil. Warfield's Board of Directors has limited experience in this area and has requested that you summarize the accounting and reporting implications if these items are hedged. The hedged risk in these two transactions can be either the risk associated with the cash flow or the risk associated with changes in the fair value. The two risks are discussed in separate parts of the case.
