Chapter 5Reporting and DisclosureDiscussion Questions1. Accounting measurement is the process of assigning numerical symbols to eventsor objects. Disclosure, on the other hand, is the communication of accounting measurements to intended users. Advances in financial disclosure are likely to outpace those related to accounting measurement for a number of reasons.First, many would argue that financial disclosure is a less controversial area than accounting measurement. Second, changes in disclosure requirements are more rapidly implemented than changes in accounting measurement rules.Finally, whereas a single set of accounting measurement rules may not serve users equally well under different social, economic and legal systems, a company can disclose without necessarily sacrificing its accounting measurement system.2.Four reasons why multinational corporations are increasingly being heldaccountable to constituencies other than traditional investor groups:a.The development and growth of the influence of trade unions.b.The growing recognition of the view that those who are significantlyaffected by decisions made by institutions in general must be given theopportunity to influence those decisions.c.The rejection by many governments of classical economic premises such asthe belief that the regulated pursuit of private gain maximizessociety’s welfare.d.The increasing concern over the social and economic impact ofmultinational corporations in host countries.3.Arguments in favor of equal disclosure include:a.The absence of equal disclosure would create an unfair playing field forU.S. companies. . companies would have a competitive advantage in thatthey would not have to disclose the same information and so would notincur the costs involved in generating and publishing it.b.Investors in . companies have the same information needs as those whoinvest in U.S. companies. A market concerned with investor protectionwould make sure that investors have timely and material information onall listed companies, not just those domiciled in the United States.c.Unequal disclosure might impede cross-company comparisons involving U.S.and . companies.Possible reasons against equal disclosure include:a.The high cost of meeting equal disclosure requirements may deter foreignissuers from listing in the United States.b.The extra costs involved work against the benefits of listing to theforeign companies.Evaluation of arguments:All of these arguments have merit. There is no unambiguously correct answer as to what disclosure requirements should be imposed on foreign issuers, and there has been a contentious debate on this subject in the U.S. in recent years. In practice, fairness arguments often carry great weight in public debate, even when objective economic analysis does not support them.4.Managers in Continental Europe and in Japan have for many years stronglyobjected to disclosing information about business segment financial results.These managers have argued that the information can be used by their competitors. In addition, Continental Europe and Japan have had traditions of low disclosure.Requirements for disclosure about segment results have become more stringent in Japan, France, and Germany in response to strong investor and analyst demand for the information. More generally, the three countries are striving to improve the quality of their financial reporting standards in order to improve the reputation and credibility of their capital markets.5.The simple answer is that mandatory disclosures are corporate disclosures madein response to regulatory requirements (for example, rules issued by national regulators or stock exchanges), and that voluntary disclosures are purely discretionary in nature. The distinction between mandatory and voluntary disclosures can be ambiguous in some settings, however. For example, the requirement that U.S. companies must file Form 10-Ks with the . Securities and Exchange Commission is straightforward. However, measurement and disclosure approaches for some of the items in the Form 10-K are not. Similarly, there are widely divergent views concerning what types of press announcements are mandatory versus voluntary.Two possible explanations for differences in managers’ voluntary disclosure practices are: (1) Managers in highly competitive industries may be less forthcoming than managers in less competitive industries due to the expected cost of releasing information of potential use to their competitors. (2) Managers are expected to be more forthcoming when there is good news todisclose, than when there is bad news, particularly when the news can be expected to affect share prices.Two explanations for differences in managers’ mandatory disclosure practices are: (1) Cross-jurisdictional differences in disclosure requirements. (2) Differences in the extent of compliance with disclosure rules due to cross-jurisdictional differences in enforcement.6. Triple bottom line reporting refers to reporting on a company’s economic,social, and environmental performance. It is a form of social responsibility reporting designed to demonstrate good corporate citizenship. So-called “sustainability” reports are an increasingly popular means of triple bottom line reporting. There is substantial variation in social reporting today.More regulation would improve comparability, but it might also stifle reporting innovations. The usefulness of social reporting to outside parties, particularly investors, needs to be demonstrated before implementing more regulation for it.6.Often we expect to observe less voluntary disclosure by companies inemerging market countries than by those in developed countries:a.Equity markets are relatively less developed in many emerging marketcountries, resulting in lower total demand for company information byinvestors and analysts.b.In many emerging market countries, most financing is supplied by banksand insiders such as family groups. This also leads to less demand fortimely, credible public disclosure, and in these markets enhanceddisclosure may have limited benefits.8. In general, for the same reasons as in Discussion Question 7, we expect toobserve fewer regulatory disclosure requirements in emerging market countries than in developed countries. The equity markets and disclosure requirements in many emerging market countries are not yet well developed, and accounting and auditing systems in emerging market countries are less well developed than in more developed market countries.9. The two broad objectives of investor-oriented equity markets are investorprotection and market quality. In the absence of investor protection, investors will not be willing to participate in a market. However, in the absence of market quality, markets will not function satisfactorily. Many would consider the objectives equally important.10. It certainly is possible that more required disclosure will further encourageinvestor participation in capital markets by providing more and better information on which to base investment decisions. Benefits of increased investor participation include increased liquidity, reduced transaction costs, and more accurate and efficient market pricing. However, it can also be argued that in some situations disclosure requirements are excessive. In markets where disclosure requirements are considered too stringent, companies may be deterred from publicly listing their shares, and may choose to use secondary markets (such as the over-the-counter market in the United States) that lack the investor protections of regulated stock exchanges, and which provide investors with lower liquidity and higher transaction costs. Thus, more required disclosure is not necessarily better than less.11. Forecasts of revenues and income are relatively uncommon because there can belegal repercussions if forecasts are not met. Forecasts rely on subjectiveestimates of uncertain future events, making them unreliable in many situations. Vaguer forms of forward looking information are more common than precise forecasts. For example, directional forecasts (up or down) of revenues and income are more common than range forecasts which are, in turn, more common than precise forecasts of these amounts.12. Corporate governance refers to the structure of relationships andresponsibilities among shareholders, board members, and corporate managers.Investors and financial analysts use information about a company’s corporate governance (for example, whether an audit committee’s members are independent, and responsibilities and remuneration of board members) to better assess the level of investor protection (and therefore, expected cash flows to investors) at the company.Exercises1. a. Transparent financial reporting means that timely and accuratedisclosures are mad e on all important matters affecting a company’sfinancial position and performance. It implies openness,communication, and accountability.b. Transparent financial reporting protects investors because nothing ishidden from them. Investors can better assess the risks of owningsecurities when information is truthful and complete. Transparentfinancial reporting also improves market quality. It enhancesinvestor confidence. Open communication creates markets that are fair,orderly, efficient, and free from abuse and misconduct.c. The financial reporting requirements on the Hong Kong Exchange promotetransparent financial reporting and they protect investors and promotemarket quality. For example, they require a complete set of auditedfinancial statements, including a balance sheet, income statement,cash flow statement, and explanatory notes. Substantial disclosuresare also required, including segments and forward looking informationdiscussed in the chapter. Reports must include a managementdiscussion and analysis. Accounting principles may be either HongKong Financial Reporting Standards or International FinancialReporting Standards. Both sets of standards are known for their highquality. All reports must be in English. There are requirements oncorporate governance. Timely disclosure of price sensitiveinformation is required. Annual reports must be published within fourmonths of year-end and half-yearly reports must be published withinthree months. Overall, the reporting requirements are substantial andcomplete.2.Schering AG provides a qualitative forecast of one-year-ahead and two-year-ahead net sales. One-year-ahead net sales are expected to increase in the “mid to high single-digit” range. From this, an investor would likely infer growth of between 6 and 8 percent. Two-year-ahead sales are expected to increase further. Thus, this forecast is directional (up). There are similar forecasts of net sales for certain products and for certain regions.For example, Yasmin®is exp ected to experience “double-digit” growth, while Betaferon®is expected to grow at “high single-digit” rates. Net sales in Europe are expected to grow at “mid single-digit” rates, while those in the United States are forecast to be “above average.” Scheringalso forecasts an operating margin of 18 percent for the next year. This isa precise forecast. There is no forecast of net income.Investors should find this information useful, but specific growth percentages would be even useful. Investors a re concerned about a company’s future prospects. Management’s expectations guide users’ own forecasts.Investors would also find a forecast of net income useful.3. IFRS 8 requires that the following items be disclosed for each reportablesegment:a.Profit or loss.b.Assets.c.Particular income and expense items if such measures are regularlyprovided to the chief operating decision maker.d.Reconciliations of reportable segment revenues, profit or loss, assets,and liabilities to consolidated totals.(A reportable segment is an operating segment about which separate financialinformation is available that is evaluated regularly by management in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to operating segments.)In addition to the above items, information must also be disclosed about:a.Revenues derived from products or services.b.Revenues derived from countries.c.Major customers.d.How operating segments are determined.Lafarge discloses that its reportable segments are its four product lines.The company discloses all of the items required to be disclosed by reportable segment. Operating income, assets, and individual income and expense items are reported. Segment revenues, operating income, assets, and liabilities are reconciled to consolidated totals.Lafarge also discloses revenues by selected countries and regions of the world.In addition, capital expenditure and capital employed by selected countries and regions are disclosed. There is no information about major customers, but Lafarge may have a large, diversified customer base.Overall, Lafarge complies with the requirements of IFRS 8 and even goes beyond its requirements in some cases.4. a. Overall headcount has increased between the two years. Both of itsdivisions (pharmaceuticals and diagnostics) show increased levels ofemployment. With the exception of Latin America, all regions of theworld also show increased levels of employment. Roche attributes theseincreases to the fact that it has been expanding faster than itscompetitors.b.“Regretted losses” refers to “fluctuations not initiated by Roche,”presumably employees who quit the company on their own accord. Whilethe overall percentage of employees lost (“fluctuation”) has increasedbetween the two years, the percentage of regretted losses has decreased.c.Roche states that it “places a high value on diversity and seeks tobenefit from it….” Roche seems to have had some success in improvingdiversity in the company. Roche notes that it employs people from over190 countries and that the 336 employees in its Corporate Center comefrom 23 countries. General managers from the local country head 60percent of its affiliates, and the trend is rising. Data presented onwomen in the workplace all show improvements.d.Outside investors may find this information useful because it speaks tothe welfare of company employees. For example, satisfied employees willwork harde r to achieve a company’s goals than unsatisfied ones will.The information is also useful in judging whether companies comply withemployment laws, such as those dealing with nondiscriminatory hiring.5. The overall conclusion is that Roche’s safety record worsened while itsenvironmental record improved.Safety:Note that Roche’s total number of workdays increased by 17 percent, while the total number of employees grew by 6 percent. Accidents and other measures of safety can be expected to increase, but not at rates higher than these.Occupational accidents increased by 14 percent, while work-related accidents per million working hours decreased 3 percent. These measures suggest that accident rates are about the same between the two years. There were no work-related fatalities in either year. Workdays lost due to work-related accidents increased by 31 percent, occupational illnesses increased by 60percent, illnesses per million working hour increased 36 percent, and workdays lost due to occupational illnesses increased 42 percent. These measures indicate a worsening safety record. Transport accident per metric ton transported decreased. In general, most measures got worse.Environmental:Energy consumption increased by 5 percent and TOC t/year increased 36 percent.However, the other pollution measures (such as CO2t/year and NO2t/year) decreased. Figures later in the disclosure compare eco-efficiency measures for 2005, 2004, and 1992. Long-term trends (92/05) of all measures beside the one for CO2show significant decreases. In general, Roche’s environmental record has improved.6. a. According to the Web site, the objective of the International Auditingand Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) is to serve the public interest by: setting, independently and under its own authority, high qualitystandards on auditing, quality control, review, other assurance,and related services, andfacilitating the convergence of national and internationalstandards,thereby enhancing the quality and uniformity of practice throughout theworld and strengthening public confidence in the global auditing andassurance profession.b.According to this Web site, auditing standards refer to the audit orreview of historical financial information, while assurance standardsrefer to engagements dealing with subject matters other than historicalfinancial information.c.PricewaterhouseCoopers states that Roche’s internal sustainabilityreporting guidelines are properly applied, that its data collectionsystem is functioning as designed, and that its “social dimensionreporting provides an appropriate basis for the disclosure of socialdimension information…” Thus, Roche has received a “clean opinion”on its sustainability reporting.7. a. Corporate social responsibility is about how companies conductthemselves in relation to “stakeholders,” such as workers, consumers,and the broader society in which firms operate.b.Some argue that “the business of business is business.” In conductingtheir business, companies provide huge and critical contributions tosociety. Among these are productivity gains, innovation and research,employment, and human capital development. In poor countries, companiesoften contribute critical capital, technology, and skills that reducepoverty. Companies that compete and prosper make society better off.Under this view, the proper guardian of the public interest isgovernment, not business. Another view is that social issues (andsocial responsibility) are not tangential to business but fundamental toit. Companies that ignore public sentiment make themselves vulnerableto attack. Ignoring social issues turns a blind eye to forces that mayalter a company’s strategic future. Thus, companies ought to do morethan the law requires since social issues ultimately feed intoshareholder value.c.Whether companies ought to report on their social responsibilityactivities probably depends on one’s view of corporate socialresponsibility. Nevertheless, a strong case can be made that proactivedisclosure of a company’s societal contributions can positively aff ectits image and ultimately its bottom line.d.As noted in c., the relevance of CSR disclosures for outside investorsis that a company’s societal contributions can positively affect itsimage and ultimately its bottom line.8. a.

英语作文-资产管理行业积极推动绿色金融发展,促进可持续经济增长The asset management industry plays a pivotal role in advancing green finance initiatives, thereby fostering sustainable economic growth. By integrating environmental considerations into financial decision-making processes, asset managers contribute significantly to the global agenda of achieving sustainability goals.Asset managers are increasingly recognizing the importance of incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into their investment strategies. This paradigm shift is driven by several factors. Firstly, there is a growing awareness of the long-term risks associated with climate change and environmental degradation. These risks encompass physical risks, such as damage from extreme weather events, and transition risks, such as policy changes and shifts in market preferences towards sustainable technologies.Moreover, regulatory pressures are pushing asset managers to adopt sustainable practices. Regulatory frameworks across various jurisdictions are being strengthened to promote transparency and accountability in ESG disclosures. Asset managers, therefore, face a dual imperative: to comply with regulatory requirements and to meet the rising expectations of investors who prioritize sustainability.Furthermore, investor demand is a powerful catalyst for the integration of green finance principles. A significant portion of institutional and retail investors now seek investment opportunities that not only generate financial returns but also align with their values and sustainability objectives. This shift in investor preferences has prompted asset managers to expand their product offerings to include ESG-focused funds and sustainable investment strategies.In response to these drivers, asset managers are implementing a range of initiatives to promote green finance and support sustainable economic growth. One key initiative is the integration of ESG factors into investment analysis and decision-making. This involvesassessing the environmental and social impacts of potential investments alongside traditional financial metrics. By doing so, asset managers can identify opportunities that mitigate environmental risks while capitalizing on the growing market demand for sustainable solutions.Additionally, asset managers are engaging with companies to improve their ESG practices through active ownership and shareholder engagement. By exercising their voting rights and influencing corporate policies, asset managers can drive positive change within companies, encouraging them to adopt sustainable business practices and enhance their ESG disclosures.Moreover, asset managers are collaborating with policymakers, industry associations, and non-governmental organizations to shape regulatory frameworks and industry standards that promote green finance. These partnerships are crucial for establishing a conducive environment for sustainable finance to thrive, fostering innovation, and scaling up investments in renewable energy, clean technologies, and other sustainable sectors.Furthermore, asset managers are enhancing transparency and reporting on ESG performance. Improved disclosure enables investors to make informed decisions based on comprehensive data regarding a fund's environmental footprint, social impact, and governance practices. This transparency also facilitates benchmarking and comparison among funds, driving market competition towards higher ESG standards.In conclusion, the asset management industry's proactive promotion of green finance is instrumental in advancing sustainable economic growth. By integrating ESG considerations into investment practices, engaging with stakeholders, and advocating for supportive policies, asset managers are not only managing financial risks but also seizing opportunities to contribute positively to environmental stewardship and societal well-being. This commitment to sustainability underscores the industry's role as a key driverof change towards a more resilient and inclusive global economy.。

Unfortunately, the remediation of hazardous waste sites is not finished, and cleanup cost estimates range anywhere between $500 billion and $1 trillion. American corporations will ultimately be held accountable for these costs. What remains to be seen, however, is exactly who, when, and how much.In terms of corporate responsibilities, this article discusses requirements regarding the financial reporting of environmental liabilities and current initiativesthat should improve the measurement and disclosure of these liabilities. Investors and business professionals alike must understand the significance of these obligations asthey relate to current and future corporate financial statements.Financial ReportingFinancial reporting requirements have evolved over time under several governing bodies. The Securities Act of 1934 created the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and gave it the authority to administer federal securities laws and prescribe accounting principles and reporting practices. Companies that are considered under the jurisdiction of the SEC include any company whose stock is publicly traded. As a result, these companies are required to follow SEC disclosure requirements in their filings.The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is responsible for establishing the current standards of financial accounting and reporting. The standardsor pronouncements that the FASB issues, "Statements of Financial Accounting Standards" (SFASs), are officially recognized as authoritative by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the national professional organization of CPAs.Until recently, the AICPA played a prominent role in the accounting and reporting environment. But as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the AlCPA's Auditing Standards Board (ASB) was limited in its role of establishing Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. Auditing and related professional practice standards as they pertain to public companies are now established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), a private-sector, nonprofit corporation created to oversee the auditors of public companies in order to protect the interests of investors and further the public interest in the preparation of informative, fair, and independent audit reports.Evolution of Environmental Accounting StandardsThe common definition of "environmental accounting" is "the identification, measurement, and allocation of environmental costs, the integration of these environmental costs into business decisions, and the subsequent communication of the information to a company's stakeholders" (AICPA).Typical environmental costs include off-site waste disposal costs, cleanup costs, litigation costs, and other related costs.The first accounting standards or interpretation of standards that could be applied to environmental liabilities were enacted by the FASB in 1975 and 1976. These rules covered a generic grouping of contingent liabilities (including environmental liabilities). Initially the FASB stated that contingent liabilities arising from environmental cleanup costs should be accounted for and disclosed according to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies" (FASB 1975). One year later, the FASB issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 14, "Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss" (FASB 1976), offering additional guidance regarding loss contingencies. Essentially, the standard required losses to be accrued for when they became "probable and reasonably estimable."SFAS No. 5 is still followed today by accountants who are considering the measurement and disclosure of environmental liabilities.SuperfundPrior to Congress passing legislation granting the EPA authority to identify and sanction Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs), most reported environmental liabilities were minimal. That changed in 1980 when Congress passed the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), commonly known as the Superfund Act. CERCLA established strict regulatory requirements regarding the release of hazardous substances from existing or future waste sites.Six years later, Congress amended CERCLA with the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act (SARA).This strengthened the EPA’s authority and increased the agency’s fund balance. Under the new Superfund Act, the EPA became responsible for identifying and listing those locations throughout the United States where hazardous substances or waste either have caused or may cause damage to the environment. The EPA, through administrative or legal action, seeks to require PRPs to accept responsibility for the remediation of contaminated sites.Under CERCLA, a PRP is defined as any individual or company that is potentially responsible for, or contributed to, the contamination problems at a Superfund site. According to Paul D. Hutchinson, this can include:• Current owners or operators of facilities where hazardous substances have been deposited• Owners or operators of facilities at the time hazardous substances were deposited• Generators of hazardous substances deposited at facilities• Transporters of hazardous substances to facilities• Per sons who arranged for disposal or treatment of hazardous substances at facilitiesOnce the EPA identifies a PRP, a liability-based program is used to address the cleanup of the site. Under the liability-based program, a potentially responsible partyis classified into one of three categories:• Strict Liability - the PRP is liable for cleanup costs even when there was no negligence• Joint and Several Liability – any one party can be forced to bear the full cost of the remedy, even if several parties contributed to the waste at a site• Retroactive Liability - the provisions apply to actions that took place before CERCLA was passedAfter the EPA identifies the PRPs and their respective liability, it sends notification to the SEC and the respective companies or individuals.Regulation S-K and FRR 36With the increased environmental regulation, the accounting regulatory bodies began to issue standards regarding the reporting and disclosure of environmental liabilities. In 1982, the SEC integrated all of its environmental disclosure requirements into Regulation S-K, requiring disclosure if pollution expenditures had a material effect on the company's earnings. Regulation S-K Item 101, known as the Description of Business, requires registrants to disclose, among other things, the material effects of complying or failing to comply with environmental requirements on the capital expenditures, earnings, and competitive position of the registrant and its subsidiaries. S-K Item 103 requires registrants to describe any material concerning pending legal proceedings unless the legal proceedings involve ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business. S-K Item 303, often referred to as Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, requires the disclosure of environmental contingencies that may reasonably have a material impact on net sales, revenue, or income from continuing operations.In 1989, the SEC provided further guidance by issuing Financial Reporting Release (FRR) 36. FRR 36 discusses and illustrates various disclosure requirements for the Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) component of the SEC annual report 10-K filing and the shareholder annual report.Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 92Even with this increase in regulation, companies were still finding it difficult toestimate liabilities that needed to be disclosed. In response, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No.92 (SAB 92) to further clarify its disclosure requirements. SAB 92 specifically discussed the disclosure of environmental liabilities in the balance sheet. The SEC's position on the disclosure of environmental liabilities was strengthened through an agreement with the EPA in 1990. Essentially, the EPA would provide the SEC with certain quarterly information, including names of PRPs, a list of all cases filed under CERCLA, and a list of civil and criminal cases under federal environmental laws. In exchange for this information, the SEC agreed to target the enforcement of environmental disclosures.AICPA Statement of Position 96-1By 1996, the EPA had identified more than 36,000 hazardous waste sites in the United States. The EPA then took what they considered to be the most severe of the contaminated sites and developed the National Priorities List (NPL). This list contained 1,405 sites, each referred to as a Superfund site. From these Superfund sites alone, the EPA proceeded to identify 15,000 PRPs connected to these sites. These PRPs would eventually be responsible for cleanup costs that would range from $35 million to $1 billion per site. The release of this information revealed to the accounting profession that the remedial liabilities of the PRPs were significant and, therefore, required better accounting and disclosure. As a result, the AICPA issued Statement of Position (SOP) 96-1, "Environmental Remediation Liabilities," which provided specific guidance on estimation and the financial reporting of environmental accruals and contingencies.Analysis of the Standards (Past and Present)(A) Recognition of Environmental LiabilitiesRecognition pertains to when a liability should be reported in the financial statements. Contingent liabilities are obligations that are dependent upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more future events to confirm the amount payable, the payee, the date payable or its existence. The most significant liability that a firm faces in relation to environmental accounting comprises the remediation costs. Remediation costs typically include cleanup costs, litigation costs, and other costsassociated with legal compliance.FAS No. 5,mentioned earlier,requires that a provision for a loss contingency be recorded and a liability recognized in financial statements when both of the following conditions are met:• It is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements• The amount of the loss can be reasonably estimatedFASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 14 provides additional guidance on how to recognize a loss contingency when the estimated loss is within a specified range. It recommends that the minimum amount of the range be accrued, unless some amount within the range appears at the time to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range.The AICPA SOP 96-1 expands the types of costs that may be appropriately accrued and the ability to consider technologies under development in order to help assess the ultimate cost of remediation efforts more accurately. PRPs must now use a more conservative approach (increase the probability of loss recognition) than under the prior provisions of SFAS No. 5 to ascertain if they should accrue such liabilities. According to the SOP 96-1, the probability criterion of SFAS No. 5 is met if the EPA has decided (or probably will) that the company must participate in remediation. Liabilities must now be recognized when litigation has commenced or an assertion of a claim is probable whenever the PRP is associated with that site. In addition, PRPs must now accrue potential environmental remediation liabilities "up front," all at once, rather than recognize the expenses when they are actually paid.(B) Accounting for Recognized Environmental LiabilitiesWhen a company has determined that an environmental obligation exists, it must be measured and accounted for based on available information. Key accounting issues related to the recognition of environmental liabilities are highlighted below: Estimates of the Environmental LiabilityAccording to AlCPA's SOP 96-1, once a liability is determined, its magnitude must be estimated. In developing the estimates, according to Kathleen BlackburnHethcox, Richard Riley, and Jan R. Williams writing in National Public Accountant, the factors below should be considered:• The extent and type of haz ardous substances at the site, and the costs to be included in the estimate• The effect of expected future events or developments• The range of technologies that can be used in remediation• The number and financial condition of other PRPs• The effect o f potential recoveriesEarly estimates of loss can be revised later if new information gives cause for a change. The revisions should be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate, thereby only affecting current and future financial reporting. No retroactive restatement of prior year financial statements is allowed under SOP 96-1. The SOP 96-1 also recommends that for various stages of remediation, benchmarks be used to evaluate the extent of the amount that can be estimated. At a minimum, the estimate should be evaluated as each benchmark occurs; which includes identification of the company as a PRP, receipt of a unilateral administrative order requiring a removal action, participation in a remedial investigation (Rl) or feasibility study (FS) as a PRP, completion of a feasibility study, and issuance of a record of decision.Source: Brian B Stanko, Erin Brogan, Erin Alexander, and Josephine Choy-Mee Chay.Environmental Accounting[J].

This Act requires all manufacturing companies (SIC code 20-39) who employ more than 10 people to provide an annual report about the release of more than 300 specified toxic chemicals. Similar legislation exists in other countries as well. How is this information used by investors and corporations? We develop and test a regression model to answer this question. We also perform a few robustness tests. Our sample comes from TRI disclosures for “top 100” corporate polluters ba sed on COMPUSTAT data. Descriptive statistics and correlation measures are also provided. The higher the return on assets the higher is Tobin’s q (a proxy for firm value or shareholder wealth). The waste disposal variable (toxic air release) is a statistically significant predictor of Tobin’s q. As expected, the sign of the regression coefficientfor waste disposal is negative. In addition, firm size has a significant impact on Tobin’s q. A firm’s beta, P/E ratio, and the corporate governance variable are all statistically insignificant.1. IntroductionThe disastrous Union Carbide accident that occurred in India in 1984 and other smaller chemical accidents have caused anxiety in the public’s mind about the release of chemicals from factories. The Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (1986) has mandated Toxic Release Inventory TRI disclosures. This Act requires all manufacturing companies (SIC code 20-39) in the United States who employ more than 10 people to provide an annual report about release of more than 300 specified toxic chemicals. The TRI program offers environmental performance information to the public and is administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). How is this information used by investors and corporations?EPA’s Environmental Economics Research Strategy (EPA, 2004) identifies measuring the benefits of environmental information disclosures as one of its high priority research areas. Some interesting research results have already been published. For example, Konar and Cohen (1997) report negative stock price reactions to TRI disclosures in 1989. These negative stock returns forced companies to change their behavior. Those firms with the largest negative stock market returns to TRI announcements in 1989 subsequently reduced their emissions more than other firms in their industry. The purpose this research project is to examine the association between the TRI disclosures and firm value as measured by Tobin’s q. The goal of examining the association between the TRI disclosures and firm value will be accomplished through the development and testing of a regression model. A few robustness tests are also conducted. Tobin’s q is a widely used proxy for firm value in the finance literature (Gompers, Ishii and Metrick,2003) and is used in this study as the dependent variable.Several researchers have conducted event studies and documented negative stock price reactions to TRI announcements (Hamilton 1995 and Khanna et al. 1998). Eventstudies examine the stock price reactions on one or two days when the environmental information is disclosed. Klassen and McLaughlin (1996) also reported significant negative stock price reactions to bad environmental news such as oil spills. These event studies do not analyze longer-term stock price trends. These studies have generally used smaller samples. Moreover, they have used data from 1989 which are eighteen years old. To overcome these difficulties, a new regression model is developed which uses more recent data from 2000 TRI disclosures. The TRI disclosure data is compiled from raw data reported to the EPA on a facility-by-facility basis and not on a company-bycompany basis. The difficulty of aggregating to company-level data makes the 2000 TRI disclosures the most recent data currently available.2. Prior ResearchKarpoff and Lott (1993) report that when corporate illegal activities and other fraudulent financial schemes are revealed, stock price declines have been the result. In order to estimate the value of intangible assets, we propose to include environmental performance information among the explanatory variables (see Konar and Cohen 2001). Good environmental performance can translate into a good reputation for the firm as an ecology-friendly company and this can increase investor trust (Ragothaman and Lau, 2000). Similarly, bad environmental performance can lead to stock price declines.This research builds on prior research and expands knowledge in several different and new ways. 1) Data used in this study are more recent (than 1989) and come from TRI disclosures for the year 2000; 2) Tobin’s q is measured in accordance with suggestions from finance scholars; 3) The regression model includes some new variables; and a cross-sectional regression model is used. Descriptive statistics and correlation measures are also provided. New insights are gained about the impact of environmental disclosure programs on stockholders’ wealth. Our formulation for Tobin’s q follows that of Chung and Pruitt (1994) and Hirschey and Connolly (2005), where q is measured as the market value of common shares outstanding plus the bookvalue of total assets minus common equity, all divided by the book value of total assets. Tobin’s q is viewed as a market-based measure of firm valuation. In this paper, the effect of environmental disclosures on the market valuation of firms, proxied by Tobin’s q, is examined.Beta is a measure of the risk associated with owning shares in a firm and is commonly used to measure market risk. Konar and Cohen (1997) utilize beta to control for the systematic risk in security returns. Beta is included in this study as a control variable. Various measures of firm size appear in the literature. Dowell, Hart, and Young (2000) use the logarithm of total assets with mixed results in examining whether corporate global standards create or destroy market value. Hamilton (1995) uses the number of employees as a proxy for firm size in examining the relationship between Toxic Release Inventory data and media and stock market reactions. The logarithm of the number of employees (LEMP) is used as a proxy for firm size, and is included in the model as another control variable.Waste (toxic air release) is measured as waste disposal in pounds per revenue- dollar. Waste should be negatively related to Tobin’s q, as it measures the extent to which firms are “dirty.” Konar and Cohen (1997) use toxic chemi cal releases and the number of lawsuits to proxy waste. Hamilton (1995) uses the number of superfund sites to proxy waste. Return on assets (ROA), defined as net income divided by total assets, is used as a measure of firm-level performance. It is a proxy for profitability. ROA should be positively related to Tobin’s q, since better performing firms should be more highly valued in the marketplace, ceteris paribus. Hirschey and Connolly (2005) use profit margin to measure profitability.Another control variable used in this study is the price-to-earnings ratio. The price-to-earnings (PE) ratio is measured as the market price of a firm’s common stock divided by the firm’s income-per-share of common stock. The PE ratio is included in the model as a control variable to pick up the effect of firm-level growth. Firms that are growing rapidly should have a higher market valuation, as measured by Tobin’s q. Yet another control variable used in this paper is “audit opinion” which is a proxy for the corporate governance mechanism. Li et al. (2005) found that firms with higherstock market return tended to receive more clean (unqualified) audit opinions. In other words, audit opinion is negatively related to market value of the firm. Hodge et al. (2004) conducted an experimental research project and concluded that investors reacted to audit qualifications as if it signaled that management was strategically understating financial results. It could be posited that management was concerned about future performance and consequently understated the current performance. According to Choi and Jeter (1992), audit qualifications indicate that uncertainties associated with future cash flows have increased and consequently, the future market value of the firm can be adversely affected.3. Methodology and data sourcesResearchers at the Political Economy Research Institute (PERI) at the University of Massachusetts released, in 2004, the list of the top 100 corporate air polluters based on TRI data disclosed by companies in the year 2000. The toxic (air release) waste data are reported in pounds per revenue dollar. Data from COMPUSTAT were used to compute several operating and financial ratios for these 100 firms. The following independent variables were obtained from the COMPUSTAT database: market beta, return on assets, logarithm of number of employees, P/E ratio and audit opinion. Following Hirschey (2005), the following formula is used to estimate Tobin’s q: Tobin’s q = [Total assets + Total market value of equity –Book value of equity] / Total assets. Tobin’s q was also computed from the data obtained from the COMPUSTAT data base. Due to missing variables in the COMPUSTAT database, 9 companies were dropped. One more firm was deleted because of an extreme outlier. The final sample used in this study contains data from 90 companies.The multiple regression model used in this study is:Tobin’s q = f {market beta (risk), logarithm of number of employees, waste discharge per revenue dollar, return on assets, P/E ratio and audit opinion} The research questions are transformed into null hypotheses as given below:H1: Beta has no significant effect on Tobin’s q.H2: Size as measured by number of employees has no significant effect on Tobin’s q.H3: Waste discharge has no significant effect on Tobin’s q.H4: Return on assets has no significant effect on Tobin’s q.H5: Growth as measured by the P/E ratio has no significant effect on Tobin’s q.H6: Corporate governance as measured by audit opinion has no significant effect on Tobin’s q.4. Results and discussionThe descriptive statistics are reported in Table 1. The average Tobin’s q for the sample firms is 2.176. The average amount of toxic air release (waste discharge) is 0.0009 pounds per revenue dollar. The mean for return of assets is 4.648 percent. The average beta (risk measure) is 1.121.Q ratio = Tobin’s QBeta = Market beta (risk)LEMP = Logarithm of number of employeesWaste = Waste disposal per revenue-dollarROA = Return on assetsP/E ratio = Price Earnings ratioAUOP = Audit opinionA correlation analysis of these six explanatory variables with the Tobin’s q and other independent variables was performed. The correlation results are reported inTable 2.The correlation analysis results indicate that Tobin’s q is strongly related to return on assets. The higher the return on assets, the higher is Tobin’s q. Beta, firm size and waste discharge are all negatively related to Tobin’s q. Beta and return on assets have strong negative correlation. Firm size and waste discharge are negatively correlated.Multicollinearity among independent variables may be present in the data and can potentially lead to unstable regression coefficients. A rule of thumb is suggested by Judge et al. (1985) to assess the impact of multicollinearity. They argue that a serious multicollinearity problem arises only when correlations among the explanatory variables are higher than 0.8. In our dataset, the highest correlation is between return on assets and beta at -0.411. Hence, the degree of collinearity present appears to be too small to invalidate estimation results.An ordinary least-squares regression model was developed to investigate the relationship between Tobin’s q and toxic air release, beta, return on assets, growth and other independent variables. Regression methodology permits the testing of six null hypotheses simultaneously. Tobin’s q was the dependent variable and the six explanatory variables mentioned earlier were the independent variables. The regression coefficients, t-statistics (in parentheses), and significance levels are reported in Table 3, column I. The multiple regression model has a respectable adjusted R-squared of 31.3 percent.Thbk 3: Mnhlpie Regression Resultse CONSTANT 2.565 2.450 2.62I 1.416(4.295)*°°(2.273)”(4. t40)*°’(1.320) BETA-0.029 -0.025 -0.025 •0.600(-0.186) (-0.

Followingthe legislative and regulatory reforms of corporate America,resulting from the SarbanesOxley Actof 2002,reforms werealso initiatedw orldwide. Theprimary purpose of this paper is twofo ld:(1) to identify theprominent American andforeign companiesinvolved in fraudulent financial reporting and the natureof accounting irregularities they committed;and(2) to highlight the globalreactionfor corporate reforms whichare aimedat restoring investor confidence infinancial reporting,the public accountingprofession and global capital markets.Casesof GlobalCorporateAccounting FraudsThelist of corporate financial accounting scandals in the U.S. isextensive, and each one was the result of one ormore creative accountingirregularities. Exhi bit 1 identifies a sample of U.S. companiesthat committed such fraud andthe nature oftheir fraudulent financial reporting activities.Who Commits Financial Fraud and HowThere are three groups of business people whocommit financial statement frauds. They rangefrom senior management (CEOand CFO); mid- and lower-level manag ement; and organizational criminals[6,16]. CEOs and CFOs commit accounting frauds to conceal true busin essperformance, to preserve personal status andcontrol and to maintain personal incomeand wealth. Mid- and lower-level employees falsifyfinancial statements related totheirarea ofresponsibility (subsidiary,division or other unit) to conceal poorperformance and/orto earnperformance-basedbonuses. Organizational criminalsfalsifyfinancial statements toobtainloansor to inflate a stockthey planto sellin a “pump-and-dump”scheme. Methodsof financialstatement schemes range fromfictitiousor fabricated revenues; altering the times at which revenues are recognized;improper assetvaluationsand reporting;concealing liabilitiesand expenses; and improperfinancia lstatement disclosures.Global Regulatory Action forCorporate and Accounting ReformsIn responseto corporateand accounting scandals,theeffectsofwhich arestill beingfelt throughouttheU.S. economy, and in orderto p rotect public interestand torestore investorconfidence in the capital market, U.S.lawmakers, in a compromisebythe House andSenate, passed theSarbanes-OxleyAct of 2002.President Bush signed thisAct into law (Public Law107-204) on July 30,2002. The Act resultedinmajorchangesto compliancepractices oflarge U.S. and non-U.S.companies whose securitiesare listed or traded on U.S.stoc kexchanges, requiringexecutives, boards of directors and external auditors to undertake measures to implement greater accountability,responsibility and transparency of financial reporting. The statutes oftheAct, and thenewSEC initiatives that followed [1,4,8,12,15], are considered themost significantlegislation and regulationsaffecting the corporate community andtheaccounting profession since 1933.Other U.S. regu latorybodies such as NYSE, NASDAQ and the StateSocietiesof CPAs have alsopassed new regulations which place additionalburdens on publiclytraded c ompanies and their external auditors.TheSarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA)is expressly applicab le to any non-U.S.companyregistered on U.S.exc hanges under either the Securities Act of1933 orthe Security Exchange Actof 1934,regardless of countryof incorporationor corporate domicile.Furthermore, external auditors ofsuch registrants,regardless oftheir n ationality or placeofbusiness,are subject tothe oversight of the Public Company Accounting OversightBoard(PCAOB) andtothe statutoryrequ irements of the SOA.TheUnited States’ SOA has reverberated around the globe through the corporate and accounting reforms addressed by theInternational Federation ofAccountants (I FAC);the Organization forEconomic Cooperation and Development(OECD);the European Commission (UC);and authoritative bodies within individual Europeancountries.International Federation ofAccountants (IFAC)The IFAC is a private governance organizationwhos emembersare thenational professional associations of accountants.It formallydescribes itself as the global representativeof the accountingprofession, with the objectiveof servingthe publicinterest,strengtheni ng the worldwide accountancyprofession and contributingtothedevelopment of stronginternationaleconomiesbyestablishing and promoting adherence to high quality standards[9].The Federation represents accountancy groups worldwide andhas served as a reminder thatrestoringpublic confidence in financial reportingandthe accountingprofession shouldbe considered a global mission.Itis also considered akey player inthe global auditingarena which,among other things,constructs internationa lstandards on auditing and has laiddown an internationalethical code forprofessional accountants [14].TheIFAC has recently secureda deg reeof supportfor its endeavors from someof theworld’s most influential international organizationsin economic and financial spheres, including globalFinancialStability Forum(FSF), the International Organizationof SecuritiesCommissions(IOSCO), the World Bank and, most significantly, the EC. In October 2002,IFAC commissioned aTaskForce on Rebuil ding Public Confidencein Financial Reporting to use a global perspectiveto considerhow to restore thecre dibilityof financial reporting and corporate disclosure.Its report, “Rebuilding PublicConfidence in FinancialReporting: An International Perspective,” includes recommendations for strengtheningcorporate governance, and raising the regulating standards of issuers. Among its conclusions andrecommendationsrelated to audit committees are:1.All public interestentities shouldhave an independent audit committee or similar body.2.The auditcommittee shouldregularly reportto the boardandshould addressconcerns about financial information,internal controls or theaudit.3. The audit committee mustmeet regularly and have su fficient timeto perform its roleeffectively.4.Audit committees should havecoreresponsibilities, including monitoringand reviewing the integrityof financial reporting, financial controls,the internal audit function, as well asforrecommending,working with and monitoringthe externalauditors.5. Auditcommittee membersshould be financially literate andamajority should have“substantialfinancialexperience.” Theyshould receivefurthertrainingas necessary ontheirresponsibilities and onthecompany.6. Audit committees should have regular private “executive sessions” with the outside auditors and the head of theinternal auditdepartment.These executive ses sions should not include members of management. T here should be similar meetings with thechief financialofficer and otherkey financial executives,butwithout othermembers of management.7. Auditcommittee members shouldbeindependentofmanagement.8. Thereshouldbe a principles-based approach to defining independenceon an international level. Companies should disclose committeemembers’credentials, remuneration andshareholdings.9. Reinforcing therole of the auditcommitteeshould improve the relationshipbetweenthe auditor and thecompany. The auditcommitteeshould recommendthe hiringand firingofauditors and approv etheir fees, as well as review theaudit plan. 10.The IFAC Code ofEthics should be the foundation for individual national independencerules. It should be relied on in making decisions onwhether auditors should provide non-audit services.Non-audit services performed by the auditor shouldbe approved by theaudit committee.11.Allfees, forauditand non-audit services, shouldbe disclosedto shareholders.12.Key auditteam members,including the engag ement andindependentreview partners, shouldserve nolonger thansevenyearson theaudit.13. Two years should pass before a key auditteam m embercantake a position at the companyasadirector or any otherimportant management position Organizationfor EconomicCooperation and D evelopment (OECD)The Organizationfor Economic Cooperation and Developm ent(OECD) is a quasi-think tankmade up of 30member countries, including the United Statesand United Kingdom, andit has working relationships with more than70 othercountries.In 2004, the OECD unveiledthe up dated revisionof its “Principlesof CorporateGove rnance” that had originally been adopted by its membergovernments(including the U.S. and UK)in 1999.Although theyare nonbinding, the principlesprovide a reference for national legislationandregulation, as well as guidance for stockexchanges, inves tors,corporations andother parties [11,13]. The p rinciples have longbecome an internationalbenchmark forpolicymakers, investors,corporations and other stakeholders worldwide. Theyhaveadvanced the corporategovernance agenda and provided specificguidanceforlegislative andregulatory initiativesin both the OECDand non-OECDcountries.The 2004 updatedversion of “Principles of CorporateGovernance” includes recommendations on accounting andauditing standards,the independence of board mem bers and the need for boardsto act in the interest of the company and the shareholders.Theupdated version also setsmoredemandingstandards in a number of areas thatimpact corporate executive compensation andfinance,such as:1.Granting investors the right to nominateco mpanydirectors, aswell as a moreforcefulrolein electingthem.2.

企业环境会计信息披露样稿英语Corporate Environmental Accounting Information Disclosure.Introduction.In today's business climate, environmentalsustainability has become an increasingly prominent issue. Stakeholders, including investors, customers, and regulators, are demanding greater transparency and accountability from corporations regarding their environmental performance. As a result, corporate environmental accounting information disclosure (EAD) has emerged as a critical tool for organizations to communicate their environmental stewardship and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.Purpose and Benefits of EAD.EAD serves several key purposes:Transparency and Accountability: It provides stakeholders with a clear and comprehensive understanding of an organization's environmental impact.Decision-Making: EAD enables investors to assess the financial risks and opportunities associated with environmental issues.Performance Measurement: It allows organizations to track their progress towards environmental sustainability goals and identify areas for improvement.Regulatory Compliance: EAD assists organizations in meeting regulatory requirements related to environmental reporting.Reputation Management: Positive EAD can enhance an organization's image and reputation as a responsible and sustainable corporation.Types of EAD.EAD can take various forms, including:Environmental Impact Assessments: These reports analyze the potential environmental impacts of a project or operation.Sustainability Reports: These comprehensive documents provide an overview of an organization's environmental performance, social impact, and economic sustainability.Carbon Footprinting: This process calculates the greenhouse gas emissions associated with an organization's activities.Life Cycle Assessments: These assessments evaluate the environmental impact of a product or service throughout its entire life cycle.Environmental Management Systems: These voluntary standards establish a framework for organizations to systematically manage their environmental performance.Challenges and Considerations.EAD implementation can present several challenges:Data Collection: Gathering accurate and reliable environmental data can be complex and time-consuming.Standardization: There is a lack of standardized EAD reporting frameworks, leading to comparability issues.Cost: EAD can be expensive to implement, especially for small and medium-sized organizations.Credibility: Ensuring the credibility and reliability of EAD is paramount to avoid greenwashing.Materiality: Organizations must determine the materiality of environmental information to be disclosed.Best Practices for EAD.To enhance the quality and effectiveness of EAD, organizations should consider the following best practices:Adopt a Stakeholder-Focused Approach: Engage with stakeholders to understand their information needs and priorities.Integrate EAD into Business Strategy: Align EAD with an organization's overall sustainability strategy.Use a Recognized Framework: Consider using recognized reporting frameworks such as the Global ReportingInitiative (GRI) or the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB).Ensure Data Accuracy and Transparency: Employ rigorous data collection and verification processes to ensure the accuracy and transparency of reported information.Communicate Effectively: Present EAD in a clear, concise, and accessible manner to various stakeholder groups.Conclusion.EAD has become an essential tool for organizations to demonstrate their commitment to environmentalsustainability and meet the growing demands for transparency and accountability. By implementing robust EAD practices, organizations can enhance their decision-making, improve their environmental performance, and enhance their reputation as responsible corporate citizens. As the importance of environmental issues continues to rise, EADis poised to play an increasingly critical role in the corporate landscape.。
