二、教学时数分配三、单元教学目的、教学重难点和内容设置Study guide for international accountingCHAPTER 1Introduction to international accountingLEARNING OBJECTIVES:1.To identify and understand the importance of the eight factors that has asignificant influence on accounting development.2.To understand the definition of IA of this textbook.3.To be familiar with the detailed contents of IACHAPTER OUTLINEDevelopment of IAEight factors▪Sources of Finance–In countries with strong equity markets, Disclosures are extensive to meet the requirements of widespread public ownership.–in credit-based systems where bans are the dominant source of finance, accounting focuses on creditor protection through conservative accounting measurements. Development of IA▪Legal System. The legal system determines how individuals and institutions interact.▪Taxation . tax legislation effectively determines accounting standards because companies must record revenues and expenses in their accounts to claim them for tax purposes.▪Political and Economic Ties. Accounting ideas and technologies are transferred through conquest, commerce, and similar forces.Development of IA▪Inflation. Inflation distorts historical cost accounting and affects the tendency of a country to incorporate price changes into the accounts.▪Level of Economic Development. This factor affects the types of business transactions conducted in an economy and determines which ones are most prevalent.Development of IA▪Education Level. Highly sophisticated accounting standards and practices are useless if they are misunderstood and misused.▪Culture. Cultural variables underlie nations’ institutional arrangements (such as legal systems)Definition of IAInternational accounting can be viewed in terms of the accounting issues uniquely confronted by companies involved in international business. It also can be viewed more broadly as the study of how accounting is practiced in each and every country around the world, learning about and comparing the differences in financial reporting and other accounting practices that exist across countries.Definition of IAThis book is designed to be used in a course that attempts to provide an overview of the broadly defined area of international accounting, and that focuses on the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and some international hot topics.Detailed Contents on IA▪International accounting is a well-established specialty area within accounting and has two major dimensions:▪Comparative: Examining how and why accounting principles differ from country to country▪Pragmatic: accounting for the operational problems and issues encountered by individuals and firms in international business.Detailed Contents on IA▪L. Radebaugh and S. Gray (1993, p. 9) also write that the study of international accounting involves two major areas:▪descriptive/comparative accounting and the accounting dimensions of international transactions/multinational enterprises.▪principally covers the problems encountered by multinational corporations: Financial reporting problems, translation of foreign currency financial statements, information systems, budgets and performance evaluation, audits, and taxes.Objectives of Research on IA▪Global Harmonization. As business entities increasingly operate in multiple counties, they encounter the cost of dealing with diversity in financial reporting requirements.▪Financial Reporting in Emerging Economics. As ever increasing amounts of capital are invested in countries with emerging economics, the quality of financial reporting in these countries is coming under the microscope. Objectives of Research on IA▪Social and Environmental Reporting. One of the consequences of the globalization of business enterprises is that companies now have stakeholders not just in their home country but in all the countries where they operate.CHAPTER 2International accounting harmonizationLEARNING OBJECTIVES:1. Recognize the arguments for and against harmonization.2. Identify the pressures for and the obstacles to harmonization.3. Become familiar with the main organizations involved in harmonization. CHAPTER OUTLINEHistory and Recent Developments▪Prior to 1960, there was little effort devoted to the international harmonization of accounting standards. Efforts have been made by a number of organizations to reduce the differences between accounting systems since then.Main International Bodies InvolvedPrinciples-Based vs. Rules-Based Approaches▪Principles-based standards represent the best approach for guiding financial reporting and standard setting, of any given transaction.▪Rules-based standards provide companies the opportunity to structure transactions to meet the requirements for particular accounting treatments.Obstacles to Harmonization▪Differences in the regulatory framework .▪The "true and fair view" .▪The various interpretation of fundamental principle .▪ A binding tax accounting linkLikely future trends▪The convergence of IAS and national accounting standards is, and always has been one of the IASB's key objectives. Three basic future roles exist for the IASB:✓Producing standards for those countries that have no standards of their own✓Assisting in the reduction of diverse national practices✓Acting as an umbrella organizing for national standard settersImplication▪The demand of international capital markets helps to drive harmonization. IASB has become more cognizant of the need to work with national standard setters and bring them into membership of IASB, which may be possible to eliminate the differences between national and international standards. The current agreement could then be viewed as the first step in a much longer process.IASB ( International Accounting Standards Board)▪IASB's responsibilities:✓Develop and issue International Financial Reporting Standards and Exposure Drafts, and✓Approve Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).CHAPTER 3ACCOUNTING FOR FOREIGN CURRENCYLEARNING OBJECTIVES:▪ 1. Provide an overview of foreign exchange markets and define related terminology.▪ 2. Describe the different types of foreign exchange exposure and exchange difference.▪ 3. Understand some of the more common foreign currency transactions. CHAPTER OUTLINEAccounting for Foreign Currency Transactions▪ a transaction that requires payment or receipt (settlement) in a foreign currency is called a foreign currency transaction.▪Exchange difference is the difference resulting from reporting the same number of units of a foreign currency in the reporting currency at different exchange rates. Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions▪Importing or Exporting of Goods or Services✓At the date the transaction is first recognized.✓At each balance sheet date that occurs between the transaction date and the settlement date.✓At the settlement date.Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions▪Recognition of Exchange Differences✓the single- transaction approach✓the two- transaction approachHedging Foreign Exchange Rate Risk▪A derivative instrument may be defined as a financial instrument that by its terms at inception or upon occurrence of a specified event, provides the holder (or writer) with the right (or obligation) to participate in some or all of the price changes of another underlying value of measure, but does not require the holder to own or deliver the underlying value of measure.Hedging Foreign Exchange Rate Risk▪two broad categories✓Forward-based derivatives, such as forwards, futures, and swaps, in which either party can potentially have a favorable or unfavorable outcome, but not both simultaneously (e.g., both will not simultaneously have favorable outcomes).✓Option-based derivatives, such as interest rate caps, option contracts, and interest rate floors, in which only one party can potentially have a favorable outcome and itagrees to a premium at inception for this potentiality; the other party is paid the premium, and can potentially have only an unfavorable outcome.Hedging Foreign Exchange Rate Risk▪Forward Exchange Contracts▪Options▪Fair Value Hedge – Using a Forward Contract▪Hedging an Identifiable Foreign Currency Commitment Using a Forward Contract (A Fair Value Hedge)▪Hedging a Forecasted Transaction Using an Option (Cash Flow Hedge) Translation Of Foreign Financial Statements▪Derivation of the Issue of Foreign Currency Translation✓Translation exposure, sometimes also called accounting exposure, refers to gains or losses caused by the translation of foreign currency assets and liabilities into the currency of the parent company for accounting purposes.✓The choice of any method for the translation of the financial statements of a foreign business operation involves two basic questions:(i) how shall foreign currency financial statements be translated——in particular what exchange rates are to be used for different assets/liabilities/equity accounts?(ii) how and when shall foreign exchange gains or losses be recognized?CHAPTER 4Business combinationsLEARNING OBJECTIVES:•(1)Understand the economic motivations underlying business combinations.•(2)Learn about the alternative forms of business combinations, from both the legal and accounting perspectives.•(3)Introduce concepts of accounting for business combinations;•(4)emphasizing the purchase method.•(5)See how firms make cost allocatCHAPTER OUTLINE➢ 4.1 The Accounting Concept of Business Combinations➢ 4.2 The Legal Form of Business Combinations➢ 4.3 Reasons for Business Combinations➢ 4.4 Accounting for Business Combinations Under the Purchase Method ➢ 4.5 The measurement of Goodwill and ControversyCHAPTER 5Consolidated financial statementsLEARNING OBJECTIVES:•(1)Recognize the benefits and limitations of consolidated financial statements.•(2)Understand the requirements for inclusion of a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements.•(3)Apply the consolidation concepts to parent company recording of the investment in a subsidiary at the date of acquisition.•(4)Allocate the excess of the fair value over the book value of the subsidiary at the date of acquisition.CHAPTER OUTLINE➢ 5.1 Demand from IAS 27➢ 5.2 The adjustment of Intercompany Transactions➢ 5.3 Parent Company Recording and Consolidated Statement of financial position at Acquisition Date➢ 5.4 Subsequent Statement of financial positionCHAPTER 6Accounting for changing priceLEARNING OBJECTIVES:▪ 1. Explain basic concepts relating to inflation accounting. Understand the distinction between changes in the general level of prices in an economy, which affect the purchasing power of the measuring unit, and changes in the prices of specific assets and liabilities, which affect balance sheet valuations and income measurement.▪ 2. Explain the underlying thoughts and methods of dealing with inflation.▪ 3. Restate conventional financial statements based on historical costs to a common measuring unit.CHAPTER OUTLINEDefects of historical cost accounting▪The results of comparison of performance and position statements over time will be unreliable, because amounts are not valued in terms of common units.▪Borrowings are shown in monetary terms, but in a time of rising prices a gain is actually made (or a loss in times of falling prices) at the expense of the lender as, in real terms, the value of the loan has decreased or increased.▪Conversely, gains arising from holding assets are not recognized.▪Depreciation writes off the historical cost over time, but, where asset values are low (because based on outdated historical costs), depreciation will becorrespondingly lower, so that a realistic charge for asset consumption is not matched against revenue in the performance statements.Overview of Accounting for changing prices▪Changing prices affect financial reports in two principal ways:✓Measuring unit problem✓Valuation problemAccounting Measurement Alternatives▪Acquisition Cost/Nominal Dollar Accounting▪Acquisition Cost/Constant Dollar Accounting▪Current Cost/Nominal Dollar Accounting▪Current Cost/Constant Dollar AccountingRestatement of Monetary and Non-monetary Items▪ A monetary item is a claim receivable or payment in a specified number of dollars, regardless of changes in the purchasing power of the dollar.▪ A non-monetary item is any asset, liability, or shareholders’ e quity account that has no claim to or for a specified number of dollars.Evaluation of Acquisition Cost/Constant Dollar Accounting▪When compared with current-cost accounting (discussed next), constant-dollar accounting carries a higher level of objectivity. Independent accountants can examine canceled checks, invoices, and other documents to verify acquisition-cost valuations and transaction dates. The restatements to constant dollars use general price indexes published by governmental bodies. Evaluation of Current Cost/Nominal Dollar Accounting▪Current-cost accounting measures performance and financial position in terms of the current market prices. Managers likely make decisions in terms of current costs, not out-of-date acquisition costs. Thus, for asses sing management’s actions, current-cost financial statements provide information on the same basis that management used to make decisions.▪Critics note two shortcomings of current cost/nominal dollar accounting:✓auditors cannot as easily verify current-replacement-cost valuations as they can acquisition-cost valuations.✓the use of nominal dollars means that the measuring unit underlying current-replacement-cost valuations varies across time.CHAPTER 7Accounting for financial instrumentLEARNING OBJECTIVES:1. Examine budgeting and performance evaluation issues for international firms.2. Discuss global risk management tools and strategies including multinational capitalbudgeting and foreign exchange risk management.3. Identify the main constituents of cross-border transfer pricing policies, define thetransfer pricing methods, and consider the issues in devising a transfer pricing strategy.4.
