Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this research was to investigate the reasons behind the plethora of amendments of the FASB Accounting Pronouncements for Financial Instruments from 2002 to 2008. Entities have communicated their apprehensions that the existent disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” do not furnish sufficient input about how derivative and hedging activities influence an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Correspondently, in 2008 the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” The purpose of the study was to investigate the extent to which the thirty companies that comprise the Dow Jones Industrial Average complied with the new qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements for derivative financial instruments of SFAS No. 161. Following the theoretical framework of corporate risk management, the quarterly financial statements (10Qs) of the thirty companies that comprise the Dow Jones Industrial Average were examined to determine whether companies complied with the qualitative requirements of SFAS No.161 to disclose their objectives for holding or issuing derivative financial instruments and their risk management policy as well as a description of the items being hedged. A surprising finding was that most companies failed with the requirements of SFAS No. 161 to disclose the required information about cash flow hedges, net investments in foreign operations and, fair value hedges. These findings suggest that although the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 to enhance derivative disclosures to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the success and significance of derivative instruments and hedging transactions on an entity's financial statements, companies might need additional time to implement the standard.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Accounting and Taxes, grade: 1,7 (A-), Technical University of Braunschweig (Economics - Controlling), course: Intenational Accounting, language: English, abstract: Some years before the financial scandal of Enron, which was mainly caused by the misuse of derivatives, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) began deliberating on issues related to derivatives and hedging transactions.1 The cause of thinking about changes in accounting for derivatives was a problematic situation in 1986 (comparable to current situation in Germany). For example, the applicatory use was very complicated and transactions with derivatives were not transparent enough. There were only clear standards for a few product groups and transactions with derivatives were not reported on the balance sheet.2 In consequence, first in 1986, a work program called Project on Financial Instruments was founded.3 In 1992 the members of the FASB received the responsibility in working on derivatives and continued improving the existing statement for about six years in more than 100 meetings. In June 1998 (06/16/1998) the Statement for Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Instruments” passed as an outcome of these efforts and is valid for every entity.4 Some public voices say, it is one of the most complex and controversial standards ever issued by the FASB.5 Statement No. 133 replaced FASB Statement No. 80 (Accounting for Future Contracts), No. 105 (Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk) and No. 119 (Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments). 6 Also FASB Statement No. 52 (Foreign Currency Translation) and No. 107 (Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments) were amended, by including the “disclosure provisions about concentration of credit risk” form Statement No. 105 in Statement No.107. Despite the fact that the new Statement was issued in June 1998 it only was effective on financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. [...] 1 Cp.
