Risk In Accounting, Shyam Sunder Dec 2016

Risk In Accounting, Shyam Sunder

Shyam Sunder

Risk and uncertainty are inherent in the environment and functions of accounting.

This largely unrecognized link between the …

Rethinking Financial Reporting: Standards, Norms And Institutions, Shyam Sunder Sep 2016

Rethinking Financial Reporting: Standards, Norms And Institutions, Shyam Sunder

Shyam Sunder

Since the passage of the US federal securities laws more than eight decades ago, much regulatory effort has been devoted to improving financial reporting in business, government and not-for-profit organizations. Yet, evidence on improvements or abatement of misreporting by error or intent remains scarce. In the context of this experience, it may be useful to explore what we might mean by better financial reporting, and how we might define and implement processes to move in that direction. A broad agreement on the way ahead seems necessary to make progress.

Creating and sustaining institutions that follow a stable and conservative process …

Better Financial Reporting: Meanings And Means1, Shyam Sunder Mar 2016

Better Financial Reporting: Meanings And Means1, Shyam Sunder

Shyam Sunder

What is the meaning of better corporate financial reporting? How can financial reporting be improved? There are many claims of shortcomings of financial reporting. Conflicts among these claims point to the political elements of the problem inherent in collective choice in a society. Since “better” depends on the interest group whose perspective is chosen for analysis, politics lies at the heart of accounting policy. The set of possible means of arriving to any agreed upon meaning of “better” includes not only regulation, but also social norms and market competition. Judiciously combining all three approaches, instead of relying on any one …
