Based on the ldquo;realizablerdquo; and the ldquo;earnedrdquo; criteria of SFAC No. 5 (FASB 1984), revenues should reflect both selling price and timing of delivery. Of those two aspects, selling-price estimates are required for revenue recognition when standalone selling prices for products and services are not available. In this study, I examine the effects of such selling-price estimates on the contracting and informational roles of financial statements. Particularly, I examine the setting of SOP 97-2 (AICPA 1997), which removed software firms' flexibility to recognize revenues using selling-price estimates. I find that the extent to which firms use revenue accruals to manage earnings declined after SOP 97-2 was implemented. Yet, the overall frequency of earnings management did not decline, indicating that firms shift to alternative modes of earnings management when constrained from using revenue estimates to manage earnings. In addition, I find that the value relevant information contained in earnings declined post-SOP 97-2 implementation. Yet, this information was not entirely lost from financial statements, because the deferred-revenue accounts now contain more value-relevant information than before, and a firm's topline performance is now better ascertained by analyzing both revenue and deferred-revenue accounts. This study shows that SOP 97-2 implementation did not improve the contracting role of earnings; however, its implementation partly shifted the informational role of financial statements from income-statement to balance-sheet components.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial accounting theory has numerous practical applications and policy implications, for instance, international accounting standard setters are increasingly relying on theoretical accounting concepts in the creation of new standards; and corporate regulators are increasingly turning to various conceptual frameworks of accounting to guide regulation and the interpretation of accounting practices. The global financial crisis has also led to a new found appreciation of the social, economic and political importance of accounting concepts generally and corporate financial reporting in particular. For instance, the fundamentals of capital market theory (i.e. market efficiency) and measurement theory (i.e. fair value) have received widespread public and regulatory attention. This comprehensive, authoritative volume provides a prestige reference work which offers students, academics, regulators and practitioners a valuable resource containing the current scholarship and practice in the established field of financial accounting theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The updated, real-world guide to interpreting and unpacking GAAP and non-GAAP financial statements In Financial Statement Analysis, 5th Edition, leading investment authority Martin Fridson returns with Fernando Alvarez to provide the analytical framework you need to scrutinize financial statements, whether you’re evaluating a company’s stock price or determining valuations for a merger or acquisition. Rather than taking financial statements at face value, you’ll learn practical and straightforward analytical techniques for uncovering the reality behind the numbers. This fully revised and up-to-date 5th Edition offers fresh information that will help you to evaluate financial statements in today’s volatile markets and uncertain economy. The declining connection between GAAP earnings and stock prices has introduced a need to discriminate between instructive and misleading non-GAAP alternatives. This book integrates the alternatives and provides guidance on understanding the extent to which non-GAAP reports, particularly from US companies, may be biased. Understanding financial statements is an essential skill for business professionals and investors. Most books on the subject proceed from the questionable premise that companies' objective is to present a true picture of their financial condition. A safer assumption is that they seek to minimize the cost of raising capital by portraying themselves in the most favorable light possible. Financial Statement Analysis teaches readers the tricks that companies use to mislead, so readers can more clearly interpret statements. Learn how to read and understand financial statements prepared according to GAAP and non-GAAP standards Compare CFROI, EVA, Valens, and other non-GAAP methodologies to determine how accurate companies’ reports are Improve your business decision making, stock valuations, or merger and acquisition strategy Develop the essential skill of quickly and accurately gathering and assessing information from financial statements of all types Professional analysts, investors, and students will gain valuable knowledge from this updated edition of the popular guide. Filled with real-life examples and expert advice, Financial Statement Analysis, 5th Edition, will help you interpret and unpack financial statements.

This book was released on 2018-06-17 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Revenue Recognition Standard is a joint bold move made by both the FASB and the IASB to give top-lines of companies, across industries, a common denominator. It is a ground-breaking shift from the fair value measure of vendor specific objective evidence ('VSOE') to measure revenue, to one which takes into account what consideration the entity really expects to be entitled to receive from the contract with a 'customer'. Collaborative arrangements would come under the scanner as the collaborator may not be acting as a 'customer'. Moreover, the terms 'client' and 'customer' would no longer be fungible.ASC 606 provides guidance that will apply to all entities, including non-public entities that previously did not have extensive guidance. IFRS differs in this respect as IFRS for Small and Medium-sized Entities is available for entities that do not have public accountability.The new standard broadens the definition of revenue to include newer concepts like costs to obtain and fulfil a contract, material rights and gain and loss from sale of non-financial assets. The revenue is recognised upon control transfer rather than on delivery/ transfer of risks and rewards and the standard introduces the concept of 'control transferred at a point in time' and 'control transferred over time'. The standard requires management to increase exercise of judgment and estimate variable consideration, after applying constraints. The hierarchy for estimating stand-alone selling prices has been done away with. Allocation of discounts and assessing collectability may undergo a change as the two would be analysed at the worm's eye view level of the performance obligation and not at the bird's eye view level of the contract. Early in 2017, we saw ASU 2017-01 and ASU 2017-05 narrowing the definition of 'business' and defining an 'In Substance Non financial asset', respectively. The new definition of business disqualifies a set as a business when all or substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets (acquired or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets- think early stage life sciences companies, real estate and shipping companies. Further the new definition of business requires an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output- all of which should be acquired and evaluation of whether a market participant is able to replace the missing elements has been done away with. Further cost savings would not qualify as an output, which would be aligned with outputs described in ASC 606. The overall assessment of a business however still continues to be done from a market participant's angle and the buyer's and seller's intentions do not affect the analysis- same as today, except that the requirement of assessing whether a market participant would be able to replace missing elements has been done away with. These two ASUs impact the new revenue recognition standard from the point of view of a sale of non-financial assets to a customer- where the interest in an entity does not fall under the new definition of business but within the definition of essentially a non-financial asset.The new revenue recognition standard affects more than just revenue and impacts the business processes and results in dual SOX testing during the transition phase. With sufficient training, discussion and planning, all managements will be able to do the 'heavy lifting'.

In Corporate Valuation for Portfolio Investment, Bob andhis worthy coauthor cover the full range of valuation methods." From the Foreword by Dean LeBaron Corporate valuation for portfolio investment means determining the present value of future worth.

Written with the professional investor in mind, Corporate Valuation for Portfolio Investment takes you through a wide range of approaches including those primarily based in assets, earnings, cash flow, and securities prices and discusses hybrid valuation techniques that combine aspects of these four main sources of valuation information. Along the way, it also examines the importance of qualitative measures such as governance and details a variety of special situations in the life cycle of businesses, including stock splits, spin-offs, and pension funding. If you're seeking superior returns from investments in corporate equity, then you have to have a firm understanding of valuation. With Corporate Valuation for Portfolio Investment as your guide, you'll be in a better position to improve your sense of a company's worth and the possible price ranges for buy, sell, and hold decisions.
