Fraud and Financial Scandals: A Historical Analysis of Opportunity and Impediment 欺诈与金融丑闻:机遇与障碍的历史分析
Pub Date : 2015-11-24 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2694962

The paper presents a conceptual framework of financial fraud based on the historical interaction of opportunity and impediment. In the long run the character of opportunity is determined by the technical characteristics of assets and their unique, unknowable or unverifiable features. Impediment is promoted by consensus about the real value of assets, such that through active governance processes, fraudulent deviations from real value can be easily monitored. Active governance requires individuals in positions of responsibility to exercise a duty of care beyond merely being honest themselves. Taking a long run historical perspective and reviewing a selection of British financial frauds and scandals, from the South Sea Bubble to the Global Financial Crisis, the paper notes the periodic occurrence of waves of opportunity and the evolutionary response of passive governance mechanisms.
本文基于机遇与障碍的历史相互作用,提出了财务舞弊的概念框架。从长远来看,机会的性质是由资产的技术特征及其独特的、不可知的或不可验证的特征决定的。关于资产的真实价值的共识促进了障碍,这样通过积极的治理过程,可以很容易地监测到偏离真实价值的欺诈行为。主动治理要求处于责任位置上的个人在仅仅保持诚实之外履行一种注意义务。本文以长期的历史视角,回顾了从南海泡沫到全球金融危机的英国金融欺诈和丑闻,指出了机会浪潮的周期性发生和被动治理机制的演化反应。

The Board of Referees: ‘A Most Useful Addition to Fiscal Machinery’ 评议委员会:“对财政机制最有用的补充”
Pub Date : 2015-09-10 DOI: 10.5040/9781782257929.ch-004

In this chapter we examine the Board of Referees, an innovative administrative body established in 1915 with the remit of resolving certain questions relating to the assessment of the wartime Excess Profits Duty. The Board is particularly notable for its composition of eminent members of the practical trades, as well as professional accountants and even the occasional MP. We argue that the Board addressed certain shortcomings of the administrative architecture of the time, in particular the absence of an obvious way to control or counterbalance the great expansion of Inland Revenue discretions during wartime. We also highlight the support that the Board provided to the tax authorities with their ready commercial expertise and their ability to buy the wider business community into a tax that could have been very controversial. In terms of the legal framework, the Board was carefully designed but did undergo a significant degree of scope creep, particularly in 1922 which is when our study ends. The debates of the time have some resemblance – and therefore relevance – to recent discussions about the General Anti-Abuse Rule Panel, but the parallels should not be exaggerated.
在本章中,我们将研究评议委员会,这是一个成立于1915年的创新行政机构,其职责是解决与战时超额利润税评估有关的某些问题。该委员会特别值得注意的是,它的成员包括实际行业的杰出成员,以及专业会计师,甚至偶尔还有议员。我们认为,该委员会解决了当时行政架构的某些缺陷,特别是缺乏一种明显的方法来控制或平衡战时国税局自由裁量权的大幅扩张。我们还强调,委员会向税务当局提供了支持,他们拥有现成的商业专业知识,并有能力说服更广泛的商界接受一项可能非常有争议的税收。在法律框架方面,联委会是精心设计的,但确实经历了相当程度的范围蔓延,特别是在我们的研究结束的1922年。当时的辩论与最近关于一般反滥用规则小组的讨论有一些相似之处,因此也有相关性,但这种相似之处不应被夸大。

Asymmetric Persistence and the Market Pricing of Accruals and Cash Flows 不对称持续性与应计项目和现金流量的市场定价

We investigate whether stock prices reflect the asymmetric persistence of accruals and cash flows resulting from conditional conservatism. Using the Mishkin (1983) test (MT), we provide further evidence on the earnings fixation explanation for the accrual anomaly. We also apply panel estimation techniques that significantly affect market efficiency inferences. Our results suggest that over our sample period (1) investors seem to partially anticipate asymmetric persistence in accruals and cash flows; (2) the accrual anomaly originates in the mispricing of accruals in years of economic gains, even though the differential persistence between accruals and cash flows is greatest in years of economic losses; (3) investors respond differently to accrual and cash flow surprises and therefore they do not naively fixate on earnings surprises; and (4) after clustering standard errors in the MT by firm and year dimensions, there is no longer evidence of cash flow mispricing, while the statistical significance of accrual mispricing falls. All our findings contradict the earnings fixation explanation for the accrual anomaly. Our study has implications for understanding the accrual anomaly in relation to accrual dynamics, as well as for researchers interested in using the MT framework to test the rationality of investor expectations more generally.
我们研究股票价格是否反映了条件保守性导致的应计项目和现金流的不对称持久性。使用Mishkin(1983)检验(MT),我们进一步提供了盈余固定解释应计异常的证据。我们还应用面板估计技术,显著影响市场效率推断。我们的研究结果表明,在我们的样本期内(1)投资者似乎部分预期了应计项目和现金流量的不对称持续性;(2)应计项目异常源于应计项目在经济收益年度的错误定价,尽管应计项目与现金流量之间的持续差异在经济亏损年度最大;(3)投资者对应计意外和现金流量意外的反应不同,因此他们不会天真地关注盈余意外;(4)对企业和年度维度的MT标准误差进行聚类后,不再存在现金流量错定价的证据,而应计错定价的统计显著性下降。我们所有的发现都反驳了盈余固定对应计异常的解释。我们的研究对于理解与权责发生动态相关的权责发生异常,以及对使用MT框架更普遍地测试投资者预期合理性感兴趣的研究人员具有启示意义。

type="main"> This study examines the effects of the economic cycle on the properties of management earnings forecasts. Although a large volume of accounting literature examines the determinants of managerial earnings forecasts, the properties of such forecasts, and the response of market participants to earnings forecasts (Cameron 1986; King et al., 1990; Hirst et al., 2008), research on management earnings forecasting incentivized by macro-economic factors has received scant empirical investigation. We use the National Bureau of Economic Research economic cycle definition to operationalize economic recession, and consider some commonly used management earnings forecast characteristics, including forecast likelihood, forecast frequency, forecast error, forecast pessimism, and forecast precision. We find that the likelihood of providing management earnings forecasts and frequency of forecasts increases during economic recession. We also find that economic recession is positively associated with forecast error, but negatively associated with forecast precision. Our findings suggest macro-economic factors as an important determinant of management earnings forecasts properties.
本研究考察了经济周期对管理层盈余预测属性的影响。尽管大量的会计文献研究了管理层盈余预测的决定因素,这种预测的属性,以及市场参与者对盈余预测的反应(Cameron 1986;King et al., 1990;Hirst et al., 2008)对宏观经济因素激励下的管理层盈余预测的研究很少得到实证调查。我们使用美国国家经济研究局的经济周期定义来操作经济衰退,并考虑一些常用的管理层盈余预测特征,包括预测可能性、预测频率、预测误差、预测悲观主义和预测精度。我们发现,在经济衰退期间,提供管理层盈余预测的可能性和预测频率增加。经济衰退与预测误差呈正相关,与预测精度呈负相关。我们的研究结果表明,宏观经济因素是管理层盈余预测属性的重要决定因素。

Economic Relations Among Earnings Quality Measures 盈余质量指标之间的经济关系
Pub Date : 2015-05-15 DOI: 10.1111/abac.12054
Ralf Ewert, Alfred Wagenhofer
Empirical studies on earnings quality use various measures that capture particular dimensions of earnings quality. This paper provides a theoretical foundation to evaluate and compare several common earnings quality measures: value relevance; persistence; predictability; smoothness; and discretionary accruals. We use a rational expectations framework in which a manager has market price, earnings, and smoothing incentives and can bias earnings reports. Taking the information content of reported earnings as a natural benchmark, we determine how variations of management incentives, operating risk, and accounting noise affect earnings quality and examine whether the different measures point in the same or in the opposite direction. We find that value relevance and persistence are measures that are closely aligned with each other and with our benchmark, followed by predictability and smoothness. Discretionary accruals measures are less aligned because they are based on the level of accruals, which confounds their information content. Our results also support the notion that smoother earnings and higher discretionary accruals are associated with greater earnings quality.
关于盈余质量的实证研究使用了捕捉盈余质量特定维度的各种度量。本文为评价和比较几种常见的盈余质量指标:价值相关性;持久性;可预测性;平滑;以及可自由支配的应计利润。我们使用了一个理性预期框架,在这个框架中,管理者拥有市场价格、收益和平滑激励,可以对收益报告产生偏差。将报告盈余的信息内容作为自然基准,我们确定管理层激励、经营风险和会计噪声的变化如何影响盈余质量,并检查不同的度量是指向相同还是相反的方向。我们发现价值相关性和持久性是彼此紧密结合的度量,与我们的基准一致,其次是可预测性和平滑性。可自由支配的应计项目计量不太一致,因为它们是基于应计项目的水平,这混淆了它们的信息内容。我们的研究结果也支持这样一种观点,即更平滑的盈余和更高的可自由支配应计项目与更高的盈余质量有关。

The Conservative Origin of Income Taxation 所得税的保守起源
Pub Date : 2015-05-04 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2602307
Isabela Mares, Didac Queralt
This paper examines the adoption of income taxes by Western economies since the 19th century. We identify two empirical regularities that challenge predictions of existing models of taxation and redistribution: while countries with low levels of electoral enfranchisement and high levels of landholding inequality adopt the income tax first, countries with more extensive electoral rules lag behind in adopting these new forms of taxation. We propose an explanation of income tax adoption that accounts for these empirical regularities. We discuss the most important economic consideration of politicians linked to owners of different factors, namely, the shift of the tax burden between sectors, and examine how pre-existing electoral rules affect these political calculations. The paper provides both a cross-national test of this argument and a micro-historical test that examines the economic and political determinants of support for the adoption of the income tax in 1842 in Britain.
本文考察了自19世纪以来西方经济体采用所得税的情况。我们确定了两个挑战现有税收和再分配模型预测的经验规律:虽然选举选举权水平低和土地占有不平等程度高的国家首先采用所得税,但选举规则更广泛的国家在采用这些新形式的税收方面落后。我们提出了一个解释所得税采用,说明这些经验规律。我们讨论了与不同因素所有者相关的政治家最重要的经济考虑因素,即部门之间税负的转移,并研究了预先存在的选举规则如何影响这些政治计算。本文对这一论点进行了跨国检验,并对1842年英国采用所得税的经济和政治决定因素进行了微观历史检验。

The Wheat Study on Establishment of Accounting Principles (1971-72): A Historical Study 关于会计准则建立的小麦研究(1971- 1972):一个历史研究
Pub Date : 2014-09-05 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2492893
S. Zeff
The 1972 report of the Wheat Study on Establishment of Accounting Principles became the blueprint for the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), which began its official operations on July 1, 1973, succeeding the Accounting Principles Board. The FASB was the world’s first independent, full-time standard-setting board which was not organized within the accounting profession. This paper is an attempt to understand the crisis in standard setting that led up to the appointment of the Wheat Study, as well as the main elements in the Study’s process of examining the milieu of the APB, securing views from a wide range of interested parties, and fashioning its report, including the roles played by the different members of the study group.
1972年关于建立会计原则的小麦研究报告成为财务会计准则委员会(FASB)的蓝图,该委员会于1973年7月1日开始正式运作,接替会计原则委员会。FASB是世界上第一个独立的、全职的标准制定委员会,它不是在会计行业内组织的。本文试图理解导致Wheat研究任命的标准制定危机,以及该研究审查APB环境的过程中的主要因素,从广泛的利益相关方获取意见,并形成其报告,包括研究小组不同成员所扮演的角色。

The Trueblood Study Group on the Objectives of Financial Statements (1971-73): A Historical Study Trueblood财务报表目标研究小组(1971- 1973):历史研究
Pub Date : 2014-08-23 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2485887
S. Zeff
This paper examines the background and work of the AICPA’s Accounting Objectives Study Group, chaired by Robert M. Trueblood, which issued its important report in October 1973. In particular, the research is informed by interviews with three members of the Study Group and with four of the principal members of its research staff. Evidence is presented on the members of the Study Group who supported, or did not support, various positions in the report, including their apparent reasons, as well on the influential role of the staff in shaping the report. The conclusion is that the full-time staff, abetted by the financial analyst member of the Study Group, played the key role in driving the thrust of the final report, which recommended that financial statements should provide users with information about the cash-generating ability of the enterprise, and eventually the cash flow to the users themselves. This recommendation resonated with the FASB and with standard setters around the world.
本文考察了由Robert M. Trueblood担任主席的美国注册会计师协会会计目标研究小组的背景和工作,该小组于1973年10月发布了重要报告。特别是,这项研究是通过与研究小组的三名成员及其研究人员的四名主要成员的访谈来了解的。提供了证据,说明研究小组成员支持或不支持报告中的各种立场,包括他们的明显理由,以及工作人员在编写报告方面的影响作用。结论是,在研究小组财务分析师成员的怂恿下,全职工作人员在推动最终报告的主旨中发挥了关键作用,该报告建议财务报表应向使用者提供有关企业现金产生能力的信息,并最终向使用者提供现金流量。这一建议引起了FASB和世界各地准则制定者的共鸣。

This article depicts the chronological development of research on social and environmental accounting practices of the companies of a developing country – Bangladesh. The research identifies that research on social and environmental accounting from Bangladeshi perspective started in 1996. Form then up to 2006, the researches were mostly small scale and methodologically simple. It is mainly from 2007 the researchers having Western university affiliation became interested in conducting research on Bangladesh. From then a development in terms of content and methodology can be noticed. The article concluded that the main contributors in the development of research in this area are the scholars affiliated with the Western universities. Local Bangladeshi researchers, because of their ‘colonized’ mentality, just followed and imitated the Westerners in terms of the methodologies and other aspects of research.
本文描述了一个发展中国家-孟加拉国公司的社会和环境会计实践研究的时间顺序发展。研究表明,孟加拉国视角下的社会与环境会计研究始于1996年。从那时到2006年,研究大多是小规模的,方法简单。主要是从2007年开始,有西方大学背景的研究人员开始对孟加拉国进行研究感兴趣。从那时起,在内容和方法方面的发展可以注意到。文章认为,西方大学附属学者是这一领域研究发展的主要贡献者。孟加拉国当地的研究人员,由于他们的“殖民”心态,只是在方法和研究的其他方面跟随和模仿西方人。
