Book Synopsis The Tradeoff Between Relevance and Comparability in Segment Reporting by : Lisa A. Hinson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rule change for segment reporting in 1998 has arguably made segment reporting more relevant through the adoption of the management approach. Meanwhile, the management approach has resulted in a decrease in the comparability of segment income. We introduce firm-specific measures of changes in relevance and comparability due to the rule change. Our treatment firms experienced an increase in the relevance of segment reporting but a large decrease in the comparability of segment income; our benchmark firms barely experienced any changes in relevance and comparability. We examine earnings forecasts before vs. after the rule change issued by financial analysts--a major user group of segment reporting. Relative to benchmark firms, treatment firms' analyst forecast error reductions around the segment disclosure event are not significantly different after the rule change than before the rule change, but treatment firms' forecast dispersion reductions around the segment disclosure event are significantly larger after the rule change than before the rule change. These results suggest that despite the decrease in comparability, the new segment reporting rule has increased the decision usefulness of segment information by decreasing disagreement among analysts.
Book Synopsis On the Relevance and Comparability of Segmental Data by : Neil Garrod
Download or read book On the Relevance and Comparability of Segmental Data written by Neil Garrod and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent adoption in the USA and Canada of the management approach to identify reportable segments places relevance of the disclosed segmental data as the overriding concern over comparability. This study investigates whether relevance and comparability can be simultaneously achieved in segmental disclosure. A series of tests is conducted where the comparability of consolidated and segment results with industry benchmarks are reported within a relevance framework where, for a single enterprise, segmental data either explains or confounds consolidated performance. The data set is drawn from the UK, a jurisdiction which explicitly allows directors discretion in identifying reportable segments.For half of the sample companies the simultaneous achievement of relevance and comparability is not found. In addition, for a sizeable minority of companies neither relevance nor comparability can be detected. The results of a series of tests indicate that this lack of relevance and comparability is not explained by dominant industry effects, internal accounting conventions nor a portfolio effect. However, the results are consistent with this group of companies having adopted the management approach to segment identification and reporting. The implication being that an analysis of the entity's past performance and an assessment of its future prospects may be jeopardised when the management approach is followed.

Book Synopsis The Economics and Politics of Accounting by : Christian Leuz
Download or read book The Economics and Politics of Accounting written by Christian Leuz and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-09-15 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accounting and the role of accountants has permeated the modern societies. For the most part we have accepted the impartiality and objectivity of accounting and not recognized how accounting systems are embedded in a country's economic and legal framework, much of which is in turn shaped by political processes. This web of interactions results in complex economic and political questions which require accounting researchers to focus on several related trends: information economics, regulatory economics, sociology, and political science. Although considerable progress has been made in the field of accounting, many fundamental questions are still subject to debate. In this book leading international scholars address a number of important questions: · What is the role of accounting in security valuation, decision making and contracting? · What can we learn from economics-based research in accounting? · What is the role of auditing and how can accounting standards be enforced? · What are the cost and benefits of accounting and disclosure regulation? · What is the role of accounting in society? · How does lobbying affect the political process of standard setting? · What are the consequences of the internationalization of standard setting? This seminal book will be of interest to academics, researchers, and graduate students of Accounting, Finance, Business Studies, Sociology, and Political Economy.

It then discusses the reasons for the markets’ growth and assesses the extent to which domestic policies, as well as external factors, have played a role. This is followed by a discussion of the likely benefits of these markets; the effects which any abrupt correction in stock prices could have for the economy; and the ways in which these markets can be made more efficient.
