The Impact Of Sfas133 On Income Smoothing By Banks Through Loan Loss Provisions, Emre Kilic, Gerald J. Lobo, Tharindra Ranasinghe, K. Sivaramakrishnan Jan 2013

The Impact Of Sfas133 On Income Smoothing By Banks Through Loan Loss Provisions, Emre Kilic, Gerald J. Lobo, Tharindra Ranasinghe, K. Sivaramakrishnan

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

We examine the impact of SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, on the reporting behavior of commercial banks and the informativeness of their financial statements. We argue that because the stricter recognition and classification requirements of SFAS 133 reduced banks' ability to smooth income through derivatives, banks more affected by SFAS 133 will rely more on loan loss provisions to smooth income. We find evidence consistent with this argument. We also find that the increased reliance on loan loss provisions for smoothing income has impaired the informativeness of loan loss provisions.

Under the Singapore’s modified territorial tax system, the foreign sourced income (FSI) received or deemed received in Singapore is subject to tax unless otherwise exempted. To avoid having the same income from being taxed twice, foreign tax credits (FTC) are granted to resident taxpayers for the foreign tax paid (FTP) in the country of source against the Singapore tax payable on the same income. Presently, we have two systems under which FTC can be granted, subject to satisfying certain conditions, namely the existing foreign tax credit system and the new FTC pooling system.

Exploiting The Gaps In Gaap: A Look At The Principles Versus Rules Debate, Nicholas A. Gillette Jan 2013

Exploiting The Gaps In Gaap: A Look At The Principles Versus Rules Debate, Nicholas A. Gillette

CMC Senior Theses

The principles versus rules debate has long since been a conversation in the accounting world, but the conversation heated up in the early part of the 21st century on the heels of a few highly publicized accounting frauds. In an increasingly globalized business environment, convergence between the more rules-oriented US GAAP and more principles-oriented IFRS is becoming more and more relevant. This study attempts to better inform that debate, exploring the accounting conceptual framework, United States legal environment, and the costs and benefits of adopting a more principles-oriented set of accounting standards. This study concludes that, though there would likely …

Reducing Employee Turnover In The Big Four Public Accounting Firms, Erin L. Maclean
