ABSTRACT Alternative performance measures (APMs) might be used to improve the information environment or strategically to mislead the market. The recently introduced European Securities and Markets Authority APM guidelines are intended to enhance corporate financial disclosures. We analyse the disclosure quality and determinants of all types of APMs in management reports of German listed firms for two financial periods. Although the quantity of APM disclosures is extensive, it differs across firms’ characteristics, and there is considerable room for improvement regarding disclosure quality. APM disclosure quality is positively associated with firm size and negatively associated with profitability. However, not all firms’ characteristics can be applied per se as universal determinants of APM disclosure quality, and a distinction must be made between different types of APMs. For example, high ownership concentration is negatively associated particularly with the quality of profitability APMs. Firms’ leverage is positively associated with the disclosure quality of non-profitability APMs.
摘要替代绩效指标(APM)可能用于改善信息环境或战略性地误导市场。最近推出的欧洲证券和市场管理局APM指南旨在加强公司财务披露。我们分析了两个财政期间德国上市公司管理报告中所有类型APM的披露质量和决定因素。尽管APM披露的数量广泛,但各公司的特征不同,在披露质量方面还有相当大的改进空间。APM披露质量与公司规模呈正相关,与盈利能力负相关。然而,并非所有公司的特征本身都可以作为APM披露质量的普遍决定因素,必须区分不同类型的APM。例如,高所有权集中度与盈利能力APM的质量呈负相关。企业的杠杆作用与非盈利APM的披露质量呈正相关。

Cost and Informativeness of Regulatory Reports: Evidence from the UK 监管报告的成本和信息性:来自英国的证据

Abstract The 2006 EU Directive established an EU-wide system for public oversight of the audit profession. In the UK, since 2008 the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has published inspection reports for major audit firms, which include overall quality ratings for the individual audit engagements of each audit firm under review. This study examines the FRC’s ratings, and measures their impact on audit fees and audit firm switching. A significant increase in audit fees is found when the audit firm has a higher proportion of engagements with deficient ratings, probably arising from the additional effort and resources needed to meet the FRC’s requirements. This impact is more concentrated among clients with Big 4 audit firms. However, there is no evidence that FRC ratings affect clients’ likelihood of switching audit firms, suggesting that inspection results may not signal audit quality, and thus do not affect clients’ audit firm appointment decisions. The results provide evidence that inspection ratings may increase audit costs, but may not be valuable in distinguishing audit quality, and thus have no effect on audit committees’ audit firm appointment decisions. This finding advances understanding of the effectiveness of the audit inspection regime, and provides auditing regulators with guidance on policy making.
2006年欧盟指令建立了一个欧盟范围内的审计行业公共监督体系。在英国,自2008年以来,财务报告委员会(FRC)已经发布了对主要审计公司的检查报告,其中包括对每个审计公司的个别审计业务的总体质量评级。本研究考察了FRC的评级,并衡量了它们对审计费用和审计公司转换的影响。当审计事务所有较高比例的业务评级不足时,审计费用会大幅增加,这可能是由于需要额外的努力和资源来满足财务汇报局的要求。这种影响更多地集中在四大审计事务所的客户身上。然而,没有证据表明FRC评级会影响客户切换审计事务所的可能性,这表明检查结果可能并不表明审计质量,因此不会影响客户的审计事务所任命决策。结果表明,检查等级可能会增加审计成本,但在区分审计质量方面可能没有价值,因此对审计委员会的审计事务所任命决策没有影响。这一发现促进了对审计检查制度有效性的理解,并为审计监管机构的政策制定提供了指导。

IFRS in National Regulatory Space: Insights from Sweden 国际财务报告准则在国家监管空间:来自瑞典的见解

Abstract Based on two empirical cases, this paper illustrates and comments on the complexities of implementing and enforcing International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in a national setting. The paper sheds light on the difficulties that arise in the local regulatory space when IFRS requirements start to shape national accounting legislation and regulations. The findings suggest that the investor focus and requirements for managerial judgement of IFRS can pose two problems. Firstly, an extended influence of IFRS creates tension with established institutions that have developed in the local accounting tradition. Secondly, local organisations can respond strongly to new IFRS regulations and their potential implementation, even if the contradiction with local practice bears no immediate economic consequence to them. The study contributes to the contextualisation of financial accounting in national culture by highlighting the different understandings and uses of IFRS by actors involved in the Swedish regulatory space.
摘要基于两个实证案例,本文阐述并评论了在国家背景下实施和执行《国际财务报告准则》的复杂性。本文阐明了当《国际财务报告准则》要求开始影响国家会计立法和法规时,地方监管领域出现的困难。研究结果表明,投资者的关注点和《国际财务报告准则》对管理层判断的要求可能会带来两个问题。首先,《国际财务报告准则》的广泛影响造成了与在当地会计传统中发展起来的老牌机构之间的紧张关系。其次,地方组织可以对《国际财务报告准则》的新规定及其潜在实施做出强有力的回应,即使与当地做法的矛盾对他们没有直接的经济后果。该研究强调了瑞典监管领域参与者对《国际财务报告准则》的不同理解和使用,有助于将财务会计融入国家文化。

Abstract Although legally the criteria to adopt IFRS in the EU have not changed since the adoption of the 2002 IAS-Regulation, the way they are assessed evolved over time. The purpose of this paper is to analyse how the European public good (EPG) criterion has been interpreted since the beginning of the EU endorsement process and how it is interpreted today. After retracing the origin of the European public good criterion in the IAS-Regulation we identify different periods in the EU endorsement process where the application of the EPG criterion changed. These changes are explained by a variety of factors, not least the financial crisis of 2008. The scope of what is considered to be part of the EPG has substantially expanded, a trend that is still ongoing.
虽然从法律上讲,欧盟采用国际财务报告准则的标准自2002年采用ias法规以来并没有改变,但它们的评估方式随着时间的推移而发展。本文的目的是分析自欧盟认可过程开始以来,欧洲公共产品(EPG)标准是如何被解释的,以及今天是如何解释的。在追溯了ias法规中欧洲公共物品标准的起源之后,我们确定了欧盟认可过程中EPG标准应用发生变化的不同时期。这些变化可以用多种因素来解释,尤其是2008年的金融危机。被认为是EPG一部分的范围已大大扩大,这一趋势仍在继续。

Legitimacy of Private Accounting Standard Setters: Literature Review and Suggestions for Future Research 私人会计准则制定者的合法性:文献综述及对未来研究的建议

Abstract The purpose of this study is to critically synthesize extant research on the legitimacy of private accounting standard setters in order to inform future research opportunities. This study presupposes that legitimacy is an important issue for the survival of private accounting standard setters who face legitimacy claims from stakeholders and regulatory competition from other standard-setting bodies due to their lack of a democratic foundation. Findings show that the definition, typology, sources, and legitimacy characteristics that researchers use depend on the theoretical perspectives that they employ in their analysis. Simultaneously, they do have some common points despite the difference in their perspectives. Regarding legitimacy changes, prior studies suggest that moving from practical toward cultural legitimacy, the importance of due process, and the role of crises all affect these changes. The review also identifies future research directions as well as several challenges for legitimacy studies in accounting, namely defining an analytical framework, focus on the dynamic nature of legitimacy and output legitimacy, and the need for more empirical studies, among others.
摘要本研究的目的是批判性地综合现有的关于私人会计准则制定者合法性的研究,以提供未来的研究机会。本研究假设,合法性是私人会计准则制定者生存的一个重要问题,因为他们缺乏民主基础,面临利益相关者的合法性要求和其他准则制定机构的监管竞争。研究结果表明,研究人员使用的定义、类型、来源和合法性特征取决于他们在分析中使用的理论视角。同时,尽管他们的观点不同,但他们确实有一些共同点。关于合法性的变化,先前的研究表明,从实践到文化合法性的转变、正当程序的重要性以及危机的作用都会影响这些变化。该综述还确定了未来的研究方向以及会计合法性研究的几个挑战,即定义分析框架,关注合法性和产出合法性的动态性质,以及需要更多的实证研究等。

Accounting Standards for European Non-profits. Reasons and Barriers for a Harmonisation Process 欧洲非营利组织会计准则。协调进程的原因和障碍

Abstract Non-profits (NPOs) are one of the key agents in implementing socio-economic policies, financial reporting being relevant for their stakeholders. Different accounting regulations exist in Europe, with no required, common accounting standards to promote these entities’ participation in diverse countries and societies. We analyse the current differences among local accounting regulations related to the elaboration of financial reporting for European NPOs. We accomplish this by considering the primary elements that define an accounting system together with accounting regulations to elaborate on these organisations’ financial statements, and specific operations related to tangible fixed assets, donations and volunteering. Despite there are pressures to promote an isomorphic behaviour in the European context, our results evidence intense differences among European local regulations for NPOs, with origin in diverse cultural and non-profit traditions.
摘要非营利组织(NPOs)是实施社会经济政策的关键代理人之一,财务报告与其利益相关者相关。欧洲存在不同的会计法规,没有必要的、共同的会计准则来促进这些实体参与不同的国家和社会。我们分析了当前与欧洲非营利组织财务报告编制相关的地方会计法规之间的差异。我们通过考虑定义会计系统的主要要素以及会计法规来详细阐述这些组织的财务报表,以及与有形固定资产、捐赠和志愿服务相关的具体操作,从而实现这一目标。尽管在欧洲背景下存在促进同构行为的压力,但我们的研究结果表明,由于不同的文化和非营利传统,欧洲各地对非营利组织的监管存在巨大差异。

International Accounting Standard Setting and Geopolitics 国际会计准则制定与地缘政治

ABSTRACT This paper reflects on relations between geopolitics and international accounting standard setting in the context of a commonly noted ‘return of geopolitics’. By discussing how selected episodes of the international political setting have impinged on the work of the IASC and the IASB, I attempt to demonstrate that geopolitics is a relevant angle on international accounting standard setting even though many aspects of IFRS can be adequately understood without references to geopolitics. I propose a simple framework to distinguish between symbolical and substantial relations between geopolitics and international accounting standard setting, as well as technical aspects where such a relation is absent. I call for further development of the conceptual toolbox required to analyze the relationship between international accounting standard setting and geopolitics, as well as for more empirical work on the historical and current configurations of this relationship.
本文在“地缘政治回归”的背景下反思地缘政治与国际会计准则制定之间的关系。通过讨论国际政治环境的特定事件如何影响国际会计准则委员会和国际会计准则理事会的工作,我试图证明地缘政治是国际会计准则制定的一个相关角度,即使不参考地缘政治也可以充分理解国际财务报告准则的许多方面。我提出了一个简单的框架,以区分地缘政治与国际会计准则制定之间的象征性和实质性关系,以及不存在这种关系的技术方面。我呼吁进一步发展分析国际会计准则制定与地缘政治之间关系所需的概念工具箱,并对这种关系的历史和当前配置进行更多的实证研究。

Prudence and Directive 34 – Reality and Rhetoric in Accounting Regulation 审慎与第34号指令-会计监管中的现实与修辞

Abstract We explore the concept of prudence consistent with Directive 34/2013. There are three strands to our argument: economic, regulatory and legal. From an economic perspective, we demonstrate that neither historical cost nor fair value are designed to achieve long-run operational stability. Regarding regulation, we show that Directive 34 has significantly changed the concept and implications of prudence, in the name of increasing usefulness and relevance. Our legal considerations centre on the Gimle case of 2013, applying its logic to the new regulatory scenario. We note also the concept of the ‘European Public Good’. At various times the EU has suggested four specific components: protection of financial stability, the lack of hindrance to the economic development of the Union, and the objectives of sustainability and long-term investment. To achieve these objectives within the EU we show that it is necessary to follow the logic of our arguments.
摘要:我们探讨了与第34/2013号指令一致的审慎概念。我们的论点有三个方面:经济、监管和法律。从经济角度来看,我们证明历史成本和公允价值都不是为了实现长期运营稳定性而设计的。关于监管,我们表明第34号指令以增加有用性和相关性的名义显著改变了审慎的概念和含义。我们的法律考量集中在2013年的金勒案上,将其逻辑应用于新的监管情景。我们还注意到“欧洲公共利益”的概念。在不同的时期,欧盟提出了四个具体的组成部分:保护金融稳定,不阻碍欧盟的经济发展,以及可持续发展和长期投资的目标。为了在欧盟内部实现这些目标,我们表明有必要遵循我们论点的逻辑。

Our legal considerations centre on the Gimle case of 2013, applying its logic to the new regulatory scenario. We note also the concept of the ‘European Public Good’. At various times the EU has suggested four specific components: protection of financial stability, the lack of hindrance to the economic development of the Union, and the objectives of sustainability and long-term investment. To achieve these objectives within the EU we show that it is necessary to follow the logic of our arguments.","PeriodicalId":45647,"journal":{"name":"Accounting in Europe","volume":"18 1","pages":"26 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2020-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17449480.2020.1779946","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46501608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT We assess audit quality in the public sector of two European jurisdictions by using the model developed by English and Guthrie. Accordingly, we analysed the enabling legislations of the two supreme audit institutions in terms of the issues relating to (i) accountability to their respective parliaments; and (ii) independence from their respective executives. The results highlight strong legal provisions that enable independence, and point to some weaknesses regarding accountability. We show that, since the English and Guthrie model was developed in an Australasian context where state audits are designed on the private sector model, the model needs to be amended in order to apply in an European context.
我们通过使用由English和Guthrie开发的模型来评估两个欧洲司法管辖区公共部门的审计质量。因此,我们从以下方面分析了两个最高审计机构的授权立法:(i)对各自议会的问责;(ii)独立于各自的高管。调查结果强调了强有力的法律规定,使独立性得以实现,并指出了问责制方面的一些弱点。我们表明,由于英国和格思里模式是在澳大利亚的背景下发展起来的,而澳大利亚的国家审计是根据私营部门模式设计的,因此需要对该模式进行修改,以便适用于欧洲的背景。
