This book was released on 2017 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the economic implications of fair value liability gains and losses arising from the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (hereafter, FAS 159). Consistent with the notion that gains and losses contain value-relevant information, we find a positive correspondence between a firm's FAS 159 fair value liability gains and losses and current period stock returns. However, further analysis indicates that fair value gains and losses from liabilities have a negative association with future returns, suggesting that investors misprice this earnings component. This negative association is stronger for firms with low levels of institutional ownership. While the value-relevance tests provide some evidence that fair value changes from liabilities have information content, the negative association with future stock returns suggests that these gains are eventually not realizable or that the market has overreacted to the initial recognition of these gains. Overall, our study contributes evidence regarding the controversy over the recognition of fair value liability gains and losses by providing direct empirical evidence that such gains and losses are priced by the stock market but subsequently reversed within the next 12 months.

Download or read book Valuation for Financial Reporting written by Michael J. Mard and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2002-11-22 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Valuation for Financial Reporting: Intangible Assets, Goodwill, and Impairment Analysis provides guidance and insight in the identification and measurement of intangible assets and goodwill pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations and (SFAS) No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The new rules are sweeping and complex. Valuation for Financial Reporting will bring clarity to CFOs, auditors, valuation professionals, and CPAs by explaining the valuation aspects of the new financial reporting requirements, including how to identify the characteristics of goodwill and intangible assets, determine if impairment has occurred, and employ specific methods to assess the financial impact of such impairment. While numerous articles and commentaries on the subject have appeared dating back to the time the FASB began considering the issue, Valuation for Financial Reporting is the first to provide "real world" examples of the valuation techniques and methodologies required to perform a purchase price allocation under SFAS No. 141 and an impairment study under SFAS No. 142. Valuation for Financial Reporting will help lift the veil of mystery surrounding these two important pronouncements and provide a practical guide for their implementation. This book: * Shows the CPA and client how to apply the new SFAS 141 rules that pertain to all companies involved in an acquisition (buyer or seller) by analyzing and valuing the tangible and intangible assets acquired. * Teaches the CPA and client how to apply the new SFAS 142 rules that pertain to all companies that recognize and measure intangible assets and goodwill which may now be impaired * Presents detailed case studies and examples on how to apply and implement SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 * Provides a "How To" on the identification and measurement of intangible assets. * Includes a checklist for controlling the gathering of data necessary for the analyses and another checklist guiding the work program for methodologies * Offers guidance and examples for financial reporting purposes.

Book Synopsis An Evaluation of FAS 159 Fair Value Option by : Chang Joon Song
Download or read book An Evaluation of FAS 159 Fair Value Option written by Chang Joon Song and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether the fair value option (FVO) of FAS 159 should be permitted is a controversial issue. I examine three research questions using a sample from the banking industry. First, I examine what factors are associated with the adoption of the FVO. Second, I examine whether firms use the FVO as intended by the FASB: reducing earnings volatility and simplifying hedge accounting treatments. Finally, I examine the value relevance of unrealized gains and losses recognized due to the FVO. I find that the determinants of using the FVO are associated with opportunistic motivation, such as earnings management and restructuring portfolios. Second, I find that banks (1) exploit the transitional adjustment provision allowed by FAS 159 to remove available-for-sale securities with loss positions without reporting the losses in earnings, and (2) report higher earnings than the target earnings by managing earnings through the FVO. Finally, I find that unrealized losses recognized due to the FVO are priced, whereas unrealized gains are not. Overall, the FVO seems to induce undesirable effects.

Book Synopsis Accounting discretion of banks during a financial crisis by : Mr.Luc Laeven
Download or read book Accounting discretion of banks during a financial crisis written by Mr.Luc Laeven and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper shows that banks use accounting discretion to overstate the value of distressed assets. Banks' balance sheets overvalue real estate-related assets compared to the market value of these assets, especially during the U.S. mortgage crisis. Share prices of banks with large exposure to mortgage-backed securities also react favorably to recent changes in accounting rules that relax fair-value accounting, and these banks provision less for bad loans. Furthermore, distressed banks use discretion in the classification of mortgage-backed securities to inflate their books. Our results indicate that banks' balance sheets offer a distorted view of the financial health of the banks.

Book Synopsis The Valuation of Financial Companies by : Mario Massari
Download or read book The Valuation of Financial Companies written by Mario Massari and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the main valuation approaches that can be used to value financial institutions. By sketching 1) the different business models of banks (both commercial and investment banks) and insurance companies (life, property and casualty and reinsurance); 2) the structure and peculiarities of financial institutions’ reporting and financial statements; and 3) the main features of regulatory capital frameworks for banking and insurance (ie Basel III, Solvency II), the book addresses why such elements make the valuation of financial institutions different from the valuation of non-financial companies. The book then features the valuation models that can be used to determine the value of banks and insurance companies including the Discounted Cash Flow, Dividend Discount Model, and Residual Income Model (with the appropriate estimation techniques for the cost of capital and cash flow in financial industries). The main techniques to perform the relative valuation of financial institutions are then presented: along the traditional multiples (P/E, P/BV, P/TBV, P/NAV), the multiples based on industry-specific value drivers are discussed (for example, P/Pre Provision Profit, P/Deposits, P/Premiums, P/Number of branches). Further valuation tools such as the “Value Maps” or the “Warranted Equity Method” will be explained and discussed. The closing section of the book will briefly focus on the valuation of specific financial companies/vehicles such as closed-end funds, private equity funds, leasing companies, etc.

Book Synopsis The Fair Value of Insurance Liabilities by : Irwin T. Vanderhoof
Download or read book The Fair Value of Insurance Liabilities written by Irwin T. Vanderhoof and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores theoretical and practical implications of reflecting the fair value of liabilities for insurance companies. In addition, the contributions discuss the disclosure of these values to the financial and regulatory communities and auditing firms which are actually calculating this illusive but important variable. It combines contributions by distinguished practitioners from the insurance, accounting and finance fields, with those of prominent academics. One of the central themes of the collection is that adequate disclosure of the true economic value of insurance company liabilities is both possible and desirable. Wherever possible, the insurance valuation process is wedded with modern financial theory. For example, the use of option pricing theory is applied to insurance companies, where the true value of the firm's liabilities is a critical variable. Methods such as cash flow, earned profit and indirect discount are explored.
