A Note On Going-Concern Modified Audit Reports And Subsequent Bankruptcies Before And After Sas No. 59, Marshall A. Geiger, Kannan Raghunandan, Dasaratha V. Rama
A Note On Going-Concern Modified Audit Reports And Subsequent Bankruptcies Before And After Sas No. 59, Marshall A. Geiger, Kannan Raghunandan, Dasaratha V. Rama
Accounting Faculty Publications
Several papers have examined the proportion of bankrupt companies which did not have a prior going-concern modified report (a type II reporting error) before and after Statement on Auditing Standards No. 59 became effective. This paper contributes to the debate by examining the subsequent viability status for companies that received a first-time going-concern modified audit report (type I reporting errors) before and after SAS No. 59. The results indicate that 13.6 (10.1) percent and 24.3 (20.2) percent of companies receiving a first-time going concern modified audit report in the post-SAS No. 59 (pre-SAS No. 59) period entered bankruptcy within one …
Towards Relevancy In Financial Reporting: Mark-To-Market Accounting, Eunsup Daniel Shim, Joseph M. Larkin
Towards Relevancy In Financial Reporting: Mark-To-Market Accounting, Eunsup Daniel Shim, Joseph M. Larkin
WCBT Faculty Publications
The objectives of this paper are to: discuss the relevancy vs. reliability of current financial reporting practices, survey the literature that describes the impact of mark-to-market accounting, critically examine current GAAP financial statements by comparing them to market value financial statements. With theoretical discussions and a case study, this paper shows that the mark-to-market accounting could present better about the economic reality of transactions and, therefore, tends to provide more useful and relevant information than does historical cost financial reporting. This study suggests that if the objective of financial reporting is to provide "useful" information to the users, existing GAAP …
Qualitative Materiality In Government Audit Planning, Sridhar Ramamoorti, Andrea Lee Hoey
Qualitative Materiality In Government Audit Planning, Sridhar Ramamoorti, Andrea Lee Hoey
Accounting Faculty Publications
The political sensitivity of the area under audit to adverse media exposure and litigation concerns the nature rather than the size of an amount, such as illegal acts, bribery and corruption, related party transactions, snowballing patterns of error and other risks that grow over time. Qualitative materiality considerations should not be ignored-they can and frequently do influence the nature and scope of governmental audits. Financial Accounting Standards Board Concepts Statement No. 2 defines materiality as the magnitude of an omission or misstatement that would influence the decisions of a user of financial statements. Audit planning needs to incorporate considerations of …
Business Process Change And The Role Of The Management Accountant, Sakthi Mahenthiran, Russ Kershaw
Business Process Change And The Role Of The Management Accountant, Sakthi Mahenthiran, Russ Kershaw
Scholarship and Professional Work - Business
The role if the management accountant (MA) is undergoing a transition from that if a "number-crunching" preparer of financial statements and cost reports to that if a business partner. The MA is increasingly expected to analyze and explain the business implications if financial information and is becoming more involved in strategic planning, performance evaluation, and business process reengineering. Changes in the business environment have caused many companies to modify their strategic objectives and redesign their existing business processes. Firms can initiate and manage business process change (BPC) using different approaches. This article identifies the particular management accounting activities and skills …

Actuarial Techniques In Risk Pricing And Cash Flow Analysis For U.K. Bank Loans, Philip Booth, Duncan E.P. Walsh
Actuarial Techniques In Risk Pricing And Cash Flow Analysis For U.K. Bank Loans, Philip Booth, Duncan E.P. Walsh
Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993-2006)
A cash flow model is developed to set the price for a loan to a borrower with known risks. Similarities are noted between this model and those used for profit testing in life insurance. We emphasize aspects that reasonably can be treated in several ways and also indicate where the cash flow model differs from the pricing methods usually employed in bank lending. The sensitivity of interest rates to various parameters of the model such as the length of loan and the expected default rate is examined. Also, we examine how features of loans, including cash back and early repayments, …
Outlier Analysis Of Annual Retail Price Inflation: A Cross-Country Study, Wai-Sum Chan
Outlier Analysis Of Annual Retail Price Inflation: A Cross-Country Study, Wai-Sum Chan
Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993-2006)
Wilkie's stochastic investment model and its variants have been increasingly applied by actuaries around the world to actuarial modeling and simulation. This paper performs time series outlier analysis on retail price inflation, which is the driving force of Wilkie's composite model. The data come from four developed countries: the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia. The fit of the model is significantly improved after the adjustment of outliers. The analysis also identifies exogenous events that have intervened in the inflation dynamics. An example is given to demonstrate the importance of outlier analysis on stochastic simulation. Finally, inflation trends …
Stability Of Representative Crediting Rate Scenarios Under Monte Carlo Simulations, Sarah L.M. Christiansen, Kelley Buchacker
Stability Of Representative Crediting Rate Scenarios Under Monte Carlo Simulations, Sarah L.M. Christiansen, Kelley Buchacker
Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993-2006)
We develop a methodology to ensure that a Monte Carlo simulation of the distribution of the primary rates, used for determining an interest crediting rate, is stable regardless of the initial random number seed. We consider the implications of the use of antithetic random normal deviates upon the scenario process and modifications to the candidate list and the choice function within the representative process. It is shown that the use of antithetic random deviates alone does not have a statistically significant effect on our results. The other two modifications (candidate selection algorithm and choice function) are statistically significant. Furthermore, the …
Principles And Application Of Credibility Theory, Vincent Goulet
Principles And Application Of Credibility Theory, Vincent Goulet
Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993-2006)
We review the history of the practical development of credibility theory. Emphasis is placed on the two main approaches to credibility theory: limited fluctuation credibility and greatest accuracy credibility. We explain when each approach should and should not be used. The presentation of greatest accuracy credibility theory starts with a review of (exact) Bayesian credibility and then moves to the Buhlmann-Straub model. Estimators of the structure parameters are discussed. Examples are presented to illustrate the concepts. Finally, the hierarchical credibility and crossed classification credibility models are presented.

An Analysis Of Australian Pensioner Mortality By Pre-Retirement Income, David Knox, Andrew Tomlin
Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993-2006)
The existence of a relationship between an individual's socioeconomic status and his or her mortality is often accepted, but it is difficult to measure this relationship objectively. This study analyses the relationship between an individual's final salary immediately prior to retirement and mortality rates during retirement. The data used are taken from a large Australian public sector pension plan. A strong inverse relationship is found, which decreases with age. Some of the implications of these results for individual annuity markets and public pension policy are discussed.

A Frailty Model For Projection Of Human Mortality Improvements, Shaun S. Wang, Robert L. Brown
Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993-2006)
Based on the everyday observations that individual human beings vary significantly in their capacity to combat death, we adopt a so-called frailty model of human mortality. This frailty model assumes that each individual in a given population is endowed with his or her own frailty index, r, which remains constant for life. In addition, we assume that the individual's force of mortality (hazard rate function) at age x, Ux(r), satisfies Ux(r) = rUx where Ux is the population's base force of mortality at age x. Given the probability distribution of the frailty index among the newborns in the population, an …

Using Parametric Statistical Models To Estimate Mortality Structure: The Case Of Taiwan, Shih-Chieh Chang
Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993-2006)
A mixture parametric model is used to analyze the changing pattern of Taiwanese mortality from 1926 to 1991. Three different age ranges are modeled as mixtures of extreme value distributions, namely the Weibull, inverse Weibull, and Gompertz distributions. The results show a significant improvement of mortality over the years.
