,Lecture 1 (31-08-2021)
Financial reporting in capital markets and IFRS development
Financial accounting: a collection and processing of financial information to meet the
decision-making needs of parties external to the organization (regulated)
For an efficient functioning, capital providers write contracts to prevent agency conflicts and
moral hazard behavior
The objective of financial reporting is to provide financial information about the reporting
entity that is useful to present and potential equity investors, lenders, and other creditors in
making decisions about providing resources to the entity
It also has a stewardship purpose:
If owners assign stewardship of their company to management, they wish to have the
ability to oversee management behavior to ensure that:
- It is aligned to the owners’ objectives
- Management are devising strategies aimed at making the best use of company assets
- No misappropriation of the company assets takes place
Annual report: unregulated
General non-standard summary of company activities
It includes financial statements, but many other things (e.g. CEO letter, employee and
gender issues, operation improvements, new technological developments)
Distributed through media, firm websites, etc.
Financial statements (F/S): regulated by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
Must be deposited into national registers (KvK)
Must comply with accounting standards (GAAP)
Usually include all financial statements and notes
- Depending on firm characteristics
, Financial statements (F/S)
- Statement of financial position – SOFP (aka balance sheet)
- (Comprehensive) income statement – IS (aka Profit & Loss – P&L)
- Statement of cash flows
- Statement of changes in shareholders’ equity
Financial reporting standards: a single set of rules, established by a single standard-setting
body, that is:
- High-quality
- Understandable
- Enforceable
- Globally accepted
- Comparable
International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) issues three major types of
pronouncements:
1. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
2. Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting
3. International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations
Hierarchy of IFRS
- The IASB is a private organization and has no regulatory mandate nor enforcement
mechanism
- The IASB relies on other regulators to enforce the use of its standards (e.g., the EU
requires publicly traded member country companies to use IFRS)
- In order to determine what recognition, valuation, and disclosure requirements
should be used, companies follow a hierarchy:
1. IFRS and IAS interpretations
2. Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting
3. Pronouncements of other standard-setting bodies that use a similar
conceptual framework (e.g. US GAAP)
