Book excerpt: In this paper, we investigate the timeliness of and stock price reaction to a sample of Form 8-K reports filed in 1993 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Under current SEC regulations, a Form 8-K must be filed within 5 to 15 days after the occurrence of certain events, such as a bankruptcy filing or an auditor change, as well as after any material development that a registrant believes is relevant to its investors. The SEC?s presumption is that the Form 8-K is relevant to investors; in particular, the report quot;plays a critical role in the periodic reporting system, which is intended to provide investors with a continuous stream of corporate informationquot; (SEC Accounting Series Release No. 306 [1982]). This function has assumed greater importance in light of proposals made by the SEC to expand the number of required disclosures in the Form 8-K and to reduce the allowed time for filing. Specifically, in an attempt to provide more consistent and timely disclosure by all public companies, the SEC proposes that earnings and selected other financial data be released through an 8-K within 30 days after the end of each fiscal quarter (60 days after fiscal year-end). Form 8-K filing deadlines would be shortened; disclosures currently due in 15 calendar days would be accelerated to 5 business days, and those due in 5 business days would be reduced to 1 business day (SEC [1998]).

Download or read book The New Form 8-K Disclosures written by Alina Lerman and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has mandated new disclosure requirements in Form 8-K, which became effective on August 23, 2004. The SEC expanded the list of items that have to be reported and accelerated the timeliness of these reports. This study examines the market reactions to 8-Ks filed under the new SEC regime and investigates whether periodic reports (10-K/Qs) became less informative under the new 8-K disclosure rules. We observe that the newly required 8-K items constitute over half of all filings and that most firms disclose the required items within the new shortened period (four business days). We find that all disclosed items (old and new) are associated with abnormal volume and return volatility around both the event and the SEC filing dates, and some items have significant return drifts after the SEC filings. Surprisingly, we find that the information content of periodic reports has not diminished by the more expansive and timely 8-K disclosures under the new guidance, possibly indicating that investors may use periodic filings to interpret the effects of material events that had been disclosed earlier.

Book Synopsis The Relative Use of Form 8-k Disclosures by : Andrew John McLelland
Download or read book The Relative Use of Form 8-k Disclosures written by Andrew John McLelland and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior research suggests that the use of accounting information differs substantially by investor class. My analysis extends this line of research to the area of SEC Form 8-K filings. Prior research also provides mixed evidence on the informativeness of these filings. I hypothesize that the method of the disclosure is an important factor in evaluating 8-K usefulness to varying types of investors. Specifically, the timing, venue, and packaging of these accounting disclosures affect their use by investors. Regulation Fair Disclosure (2000) considers both press releases and 8-K filings as broad-based disclosures that do not favor any investor class. I, however, identify five unique informational settings in which 8-K filings occur. The five settings are: a concurrent 8-K event and filing (with or without a press release), a filing which precedes the press release, a press release that precedes the filing, an 8-K event that precedes a filing and/or press release, and the 8-K event alone. I examine the similarities and differences in trading by small and large investors across these settings. The identification of these empirical regularities with respect to disclosure form should be particularly useful to policy makers seeking to implement level playing field objectives with respect to public disclosures. My findings show that the relative trading activity to 8-K filings is different by the type of disclosure. Differential trading activity was found to be more pronounced in disclosure settings that contained a public announcement. In addition, the type of Form 8-K disclosure also had an effect on the differential trading activity. Form 8-K filings of acquisition or disposition of assets were associated with the most pronounced responses. My findings show the differential trading activity to these filings differs from other accounting events such as earnings announcements and annual report filings.
