Accounting Flexibility And Managers’ Forecast Behavior Prior To Seasoned Equity Offerings, Jae Bum KIM 2012 Singapore Management University

Accounting Flexibility And Managers’ Forecast Behavior Prior To Seasoned Equity Offerings, Jae Bum Kim

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

This study examines the effect of accounting flexibility on managers’ forecasting behavior prior to seasoned equity offerings(SEO). While SEO firms have strong incentives to convey optimistic information to boost the pre-SEO stock price, they also face enhanced litigation risk arising from SEO-related regulations. Thus, I hypothesize that managers of SEO firms will release optimistic forecasts prior to an SEO only if they have the accounting flexibility to manage subsequent reported earnings to meet or exceed their forecasts. I find that managers with greater accounting flexibility are more likely to issue a forecast prior to the SEO and their forecasts are …


Lease Transaction Structuring, Earnings Management, And Management Credibility, Susan D. Krische, Paula R. Sanders, Steven D. Smith 2012 American University

Lease Transaction Structuring, Earnings Management, And Management Credibility, Susan D. Krische, Paula R. Sanders, Steven D. Smith

Faculty Publications

Despite recent regulatory concerns regarding off-balance sheet financing, and concerns about lease accounting in particular, relatively little is known about how financial statement users view lease transaction structuring compared to other forms of earnings management. We examine sell-side financial statement analysts’ views on lease transaction structuring and its impact on their assessments of management credibility. Although operating leases often act as the prototypical example of transaction structuring, survey responses suggest that lease structuring and related voluntary reconciliations do not raise the same concerns for analysts as do other earnings management activities (which lower analysts’ perceptions of management credibility). Our findings …


Has The Regulation Of Pro Forma Reporting In The Us Changed Investors’ Perceptions Of Pro Forma Earnings Disclosures?, Dirk E. Black, Ervin L. Black, Theodore E. Christensen, William G. Heninger 2012 Duke University

Has The Regulation Of Pro Forma Reporting In The Us Changed Investors’ Perceptions Of Pro Forma Earnings Disclosures?, Dirk E. Black, Ervin L. Black, Theodore E. Christensen, William G. Heninger

Faculty Publications

We explore whether investors’ perceptions of pro forma earnings numbers have changed following the regulation of pro forma reporting imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX). First, we find that investors appear to pay more attention to pro forma earnings disclosures in the post-SOX period, consistent with the notion that they perceive that regulation generally renders these disclosures more credible. Second, the results indicate that investors discount aggressive pro forma earnings reports in both periods. However, they appear to discount at least some potentially misleading pro forma earnings disclosures more in the post- SOX period. Finally, our results imply …


The High Cost And Value Of Patents: Finding The Appropriate Balance Between The Rights Of The Inventor And The Advancement Of Society, Andy Segal 2012 Claremont McKenna College

The High Cost And Value Of Patents: Finding The Appropriate Balance Between The Rights Of The Inventor And The Advancement Of Society, Andy Segal

CMC Senior Theses

Property rights are the backbone of Western Civilization. Capitalism can only be successful if individuals feel secure about the ownership of their assets. Patents are the property rights granted to the inventor by the government. Without these rights, inventors will find it extremely difficult monetizing their contributions to society. Thus, in an effort to incentivize innovation and commit society to human progress, our Founding Fathers built our country on a strong set of intellectual property rights.

At the same time, nothing impedes innovation like a monopoly and, in essence, all a patent amounts to is a monopoly, the right to …


Corporate Social Responsibility And Financial Performance: Does It Pay To Be Good?, Harmony J. Palmer 2012 Claremont McKenna College

Corporate Social Responsibility And Financial Performance: Does It Pay To Be Good?, Harmony J. Palmer

CMC Senior Theses

The prominence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives today suggests that the corporate perception of such policies has shifted from an unnecessary addition to a critical business function. Using a reliable source of data on corporate social performance (CSP), this study explores and tests the relationship between CSP and corporate financial performance (CFP). Unlike prior research, this study additionally tests the impact CSP has on sales and gross margin in hopes of providing insight on sales strategies that can be implemented to maximize the impact of the relationship. The dataset includes most of the S&P 500 firms and covers years …


A Closer Look At Firm--Group "Closeness", Jonathan Ross 2012 University of Kentucky

A Closer Look At Firm--Group "Closeness", Jonathan Ross

Theses and Dissertations--Accountancy

Firm closeness or comparability is an important concept to investors. Knowing that two firms have been historically close and observing an information announcement by one of the firms gives the investor cues as to the future performance of the other firm. Furthermore, from a methodological point of view, researchers commonly control for firm--group closeness by using industrial classification schemes such as the SIC. To the extent that these schemes group dissimilar firms, the advantage of using these schemes is undermined. This paper more formally examines the comparability concept and develops two new measures of firm--group accounting closeness. Both measures are …

التحديات التي تواجه مهنة المحاسبة والتدقيق في إطار عناصر البيئة التقنية الحديثة وآثرها على جودة وموثوقية المعلومات المحاسبية, ناظم شعلان جبار

Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences
