Book Why 10b 5 Litigation Risk is Higher for Technology and Financial Services Firms

Download or read book Why 10b 5 Litigation Risk is Higher for Technology and Financial Services Firms written by Christopher L. Jones and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we analyze why 10b-5 litigation risk was higher for corporations in technology and financial services industries than for companies in other industries between 1989 and 1992. We find that technology firms were more likely to be sued primarily because of characteristics reflected in stock market variables. The estimated proportion of outstanding shares that traded during the previous year explains most of the elevated litigation risk. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the relatively high volatility of stock returns for technology firms explains only a small portion of the greater incidence of litigation in this industry. After controlling for stock market characteristics, membership in a technology industry has little incremental effect on litigation risk. Our stock market variables are unable to explain why financial services companies were more likely than other firms to be sued during this period. In fact, the estimated effect of membership in a financial services industry on litigation risk is larger once we control for these variables.

Book Research in Accounting Regulation

Download or read book Research in Accounting Regulation written by Gary Previts and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2000-12-20 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scope of service provided by professional accountants is influenced by legislation and case law as well as the dictates of a variety of government and private sector agencies; including State Boards of Accountancy, Academic Accreditation Bodies, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, independent standard setting bodies such as the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board [US], the Financial Accounting Standards Board [US], and self-regulatory organizations such as State Societies of CPAs and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. There are equivalent and emerging national bodies that exist in most developed and developing countries, and further there are emerging global coordinating entities as well, which attempt to coordinate the activities among nations. It is important for academics, students, practitioners, regulators and researchers to consider, study and understand the role and relationship of such bodies with the practice and content of our discipline. Research in Accounting Regulation is a refereed annual serial that seeks to publish high quality manuscripts, which address regulatory issues and policy affecting the practice of accountancy, broadly defined. Topics of interest include research based upon: self-regulatory activities, case law and litigation, government and quasi-governmental regulation, and the economics of regulation, including modeling. The serial aims to encourage the submission of original empirical, behavioral or applied research manuscripts that consider strategic and policy implications for regulation, regulatory models and markets.
