Download or read book Transparency in Accounting and Corporate Governance written by Mitchell Stein and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calls for greater transparency of accounting information were consistent in media discourse after the accounting crisis early this century. Our analysis of the media suggests different emergent meanings were associated with these calls of transparency and an underlying 'taken for grantedness'. We examine how this 'taken for grantedness' contributed to preserving the status quo rather than greater accountability. We posit that for many observers a loss of meaning of accounting information led to attempts to make sense of what actions are necessary to construct a meaning of accounting information. We find that academic accounting research's response had a narrow focus relating to representation and accessibility of information to permit decision making, the ocular metaphor of transparency. In contrast, the social science research literature highlights the 'invisible' in transparency or the construction of meaning through sensemaking. By extending sensemaking to the macro level we show how stakeholders construct meanings of transparency to rationalize events around the crisis. We find that senior management engaged in high levels of sensegiving via dominant media accounts of vague pledges and actions to increase transparency that provide a plausible story of events and the belief that the necessary actions have been taken, but effectively maintains the status quo. Accountants and regulators provided low and fragmented levels of sensegiving, offering little direction over the discourse of transparency. Our analysis suggests that accountants and regulators need to provide higher forms of sensegiving to create richer accounts and more coherent actions that could provide alternatives to senior management's accounts.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Economic and Institutional Transparency written by Jens Forssbaeck and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the term 'transparency' has emerged as one of the most popular and keenly-touted concepts around. In the economic-political debate, the principle of transparency is often advocated as a prerequisite for accountability, legitimacy, policy efficiency, and good governance, as well as a universal remedy against corruption, corporate and political scandals, financial crises, and a host of other problems. But transparency is more than a mere catch-phrase. Increased transparency is a bearing ideal behind regulatory reform in many areas, including financial reporting and banking regulation. Individual governments as well as multilateral bodies have launched broad-based initiatives to enhance transparency in both economic and other policy domains. Parallel to these developments, the concept of transparency has seeped its way into academic research in a wide range of social science disciplines, including the economic sciences. This increased importance of transparency in economics and business studies has called for a reference work that surveys existing research on transparency and explores its meaning and significance in different areas. The Oxford Handbook of Economic and Institutional Transparency is such a reference. Comprised of authoritative yet accessible contributions by leading scholars, this Handbook addresses questions such as: What is transparency? What is the rationale for transparency? What are the determinants and the effects of transparency? And is transparency always beneficial, or can it also be detrimental (if so, when)? The chapters are presented in three sections that correspond to three broad themes. The first section addresses transparency in different areas of economic policy. The second section covers institutional transparency and explores the role of transparency in market integration and regulation. Finally, the third section focuses on corporate transparency. Taken together, this volume offers an up-to-date account of existing work on and approaches to transparency in economic research, discusses open questions, and provides guidance for future research, all from a blend of disciplinary perspectives.
Download or read book Transparency and Accounting Standards written by Dean Katselas and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation tests the extent to which International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) affect corporate transparency. This association is tested in the context of three factors relevant to transparency; The adverse selection component of the bid-ask spread, the cost of equity capital, and stock return volatility, with each addressed as a separate essay. The first essay tests whether the global move toward IFRS, leads to a reduction in adverse selection for adopting firms, following adoption. A parsimonious model by Bollen et al. (2004), allows for decomposition of the spread into its respective components; order processing costs, inventory holding costs, and adverse selection costs. As the variable of interest, the Inventory Holding Premium (IHP) is examined surrounding IFRS adoption. Results reveal that the bid-ask spread itself actually increased following adoption across the entire sample, however the adverse selection component, modelled as the IHP, decreased. Restricting the sample to early adopters only and controlling for potential self selection bias, early adopters enjoy a lower bid-ask spread over official adopters, but fail to show any change in adverse selection costs.

Download or read book Some Algebra of Fiscal Transparency written by Timothy Irwin and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accounting devices that artificially reduce the measured fiscal deficit can be analyzed as transactions involving unrecognized assets and liabilities. Different accounting systems recognize different sets of assets and liabilities and are thus vulnerable to different sets of devices. Some devices can be revealed by moving progressively from cash accounting to modified accrual accounting to full accrual accounting. Revealing all would require the publication of extended fiscal accounts in which all future cash flows give rise to assets or liabilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business reporting in a post-apocalypse global marketplace Clearly, now is the time for creating an effective business-reporting model appropriate for the markets of the twenty-first century. Rather than start from scratch after the Enron-Andersen fiasco, two leading consultants from PricewaterhouseCoopers present a plan that supplements the current model, one in which executives, accountants, analysts, investors, regulators, and other stakeholders can truly embrace the spirit of transparency. The Future of Corporate Reporting highlights the best practices for global financial reporting, explaining the concept of "performance auditing," which focuses on the real performance of the business as opposed to technical adherence to GAAS. Eccles and Masterson also discuss the pros and cons of GAAP v. IAS, present new approaches to reforming financial reporting, and outline a twenty-first-century model of accounting that will improve markets and benefit shareholders.

The paper also summarizes the impact of the reforms on government revenue and spending patterns, and discusses lessons learned from New Zealand’s experience.
