第四章比較會計:美洲和亞洲討論問題1。公共和私營部門機(jī)構(gòu)參與調(diào)節(jié)和執(zhí)行財務(wù)報告在美國。財務(wù)會計準(zhǔn)則委員會是一個私人的身體決定美國公認(rèn)會計原則。美國證券交易委員會有權(quán)決定美國公認(rèn)會計準(zhǔn)則對上市公司來說,但FASB推遲。FASB和秒有一個密切的工作關(guān)系,確保FASB SEC標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是可以接受的。美國證券交易委員會對上市公司實施財務(wù)報告規(guī)則。公司積極審查申請。審計師的執(zhí)法者非公有制企業(yè)舉行。發(fā)布的會計準(zhǔn)則在墨西哥是財務(wù)信息標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的研究和發(fā)展委員會(CINIF),一個獨立的美國FASB公私部門的身體后圖案。墨西哥的權(quán)威發(fā)布會計準(zhǔn)則是國家銀行和證券委員會認(rèn)可的政府機(jī)構(gòu),調(diào)節(jié)墨西哥證券交易所。歐盟委員會負(fù)責(zé)執(zhí)行上市公司財務(wù)報告準(zhǔn)則。然而,目前尚不清楚如何主動的委員會在調(diào)查其接收到的文件。執(zhí)行財務(wù)報告為非上市公司有效取決于審計師。日本會計準(zhǔn)則由私營部門機(jī)構(gòu)設(shè)置,日本的會計準(zhǔn)則委員會。ASBJ的建立是最近在日本發(fā)展。以前,會計準(zhǔn)則制定是政府活動。財務(wù)報告的執(zhí)行有效取決于審計師。證券交易所監(jiān)管的金融服務(wù)機(jī)構(gòu),政府機(jī)構(gòu)。然而,目前尚不清楚如何主動FSA在監(jiān)測由日本公司財務(wù)報告。在中國會計準(zhǔn)則制定是政府的活動。中國會計準(zhǔn)則委員會權(quán)威機(jī)構(gòu)在財政部負(fù)責(zé)制定會計準(zhǔn)則。中國證券監(jiān)督管理委員會是中國的政府機(jī)構(gòu)監(jiān)管的兩個股票交易所。中國證監(jiān)會還負(fù)責(zé)執(zhí)行上市公司財務(wù)報告。許多中國執(zhí)行機(jī)制的有效性問題。印度特許會計師協(xié)會,一個私營部門的專業(yè)機(jī)構(gòu),在印度發(fā)展會計準(zhǔn)則。印度證券交易委員會財政部的一個機(jī)構(gòu),調(diào)節(jié)印度22證券交易所和負(fù)責(zé)執(zhí)行財務(wù)報告規(guī)則。然而,目前尚不清楚如何主動的董事會是由印度公司在監(jiān)督財務(wù)報告。總的來說,五個國家不同的私人和公共部門負(fù)責(zé)管理和執(zhí)行財務(wù)報告。在若干國家執(zhí)法是可疑的。美國最強(qiáng)大的機(jī)制來調(diào)節(jié)和執(zhí)行五個國家的財務(wù)報告。2。美國和印度是普通法國家,面向公允表達(dá)的財務(wù)報告。墨西哥也有面向公允表達(dá)的財務(wù)報告,因為美國的影響力。此外,墨西哥通貨膨脹會計,與其他四個國家。日本是一個代碼法律的國家,其會計歷來保守和與特征,就像其他代碼法系國家(如法國和德國第三章中討論)。然而,它正在公允表達(dá),因為它致力于日本會計準(zhǔn)則與國際財務(wù)報告準(zhǔn)則趨同。中國同樣是朝著面向公允表達(dá)的中國公認(rèn)會計準(zhǔn)則會計采用國際財務(wù)報告準(zhǔn)則。盡管采用公允表達(dá)原則,一個人可以質(zhì)疑中國實現(xiàn)應(yīng)用程序。有一個嚴(yán)重缺乏訓(xùn)練有素的會計師在中國和行業(yè)仍未開發(fā)。會計職業(yè)強(qiáng)在其他四個國家,包括印度和墨西哥的“發(fā)展中”國家。3。本章討論的審計監(jiān)督機(jī)構(gòu):答:美國公共公司會計監(jiān)督委員會b .日本注冊會計師和審計監(jiān)督委員會最近成立的獨立審計師監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)在美國和日本是由于最近全球會計丑聞。都代表收緊控制審計。4。稅收立法支付有限的作用在所有五個國家,除了日本。在美國,除了后進(jìn)先出財務(wù)和稅務(wù)會計是獨立的。稅收立法對財務(wù)報告實踐在墨西哥幾乎沒有影響。例如,財務(wù)和稅務(wù)會計之間有很多差異,比如銷售成本的計算,折舊和攤銷商譽(yù)。稅收立法歷來的一面“三角法律制度”在日本,日本會計準(zhǔn)則施加影響。然而,稅收下降的影響與IFRS日本會計標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的一致性。幾年前,在中國稅收立法有一些影響,但這已經(jīng)減弱為中國發(fā)展一個更完整的財務(wù)報告準(zhǔn)則。印度,像其他普通法國家,將財務(wù)和稅務(wù)會計.5這個問題一直是學(xué)術(shù)界的興趣持續(xù)很長一段時間。會計專業(yè)知識是經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的必要前提,或者一個經(jīng)濟(jì)的進(jìn)步?jīng)]有?看起來,經(jīng)濟(jì)不能走的太遠(yuǎn),沒有會計專業(yè)知識。但可能是雙向的關(guān)系,就像供給創(chuàng)造需求,反之亦然。中國的例子展示了發(fā)展中會計的重要性(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)、知識等)。會計是一個在中國市場改革計劃的一部分,所以需要從一開始就已經(jīng)認(rèn)出了。墨西哥和印度一直以市場為導(dǎo)向的超過中國,和他們的會計更發(fā)達(dá)。但是,很明顯,這兩個國家會計支持經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展。 6。英國標(biāo)準(zhǔn)(第3章)和IFRS(第八章),以反映以原則為基礎(chǔ)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),美國標(biāo)準(zhǔn)(本章)是基于規(guī)則的。一般來說,以原則為基礎(chǔ)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)制定總體目標(biāo)和基本面和需要專業(yè)判斷實施。他們更靈活的基于規(guī)則的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和在實踐中可能會導(dǎo)致更多的分歧?；谝?guī)則的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)更為具體的要求和詳細(xì)的實施指導(dǎo)比以原則為基礎(chǔ)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。可能導(dǎo)致更多的可比性不是以原則為基礎(chǔ)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),但據(jù)說培養(yǎng)“復(fù)選框”的心態(tài)。章說,美國公認(rèn)會計準(zhǔn)則“可能比世界其他國家的總和還多,比其他任何國家更詳細(xì)?！耙虼?我們可以認(rèn)為,美國公認(rèn)會計準(zhǔn)則是基于規(guī)則的7。英國和美國都遵循會計公允表達(dá),反映經(jīng)濟(jì)實質(zhì)而不是法律形式。英國“真實而公平”和美國“禮物相當(dāng)“反映公允表達(dá)。然而,英國有一個真正的和公平的覆蓋會計準(zhǔn)則可以覆蓋在必要時達(dá)到一個真正的和公平的視圖。在美國,提出了相當(dāng)意味著遵循公認(rèn)會計原則8。最重要的(即協(xié)調(diào)項目。,墨西哥和美國會計最重要區(qū)別)與一般物價水平會計在墨西哥的使用。嚴(yán)格的使用歷史成本在美國一章中提到的另外兩個差異(一)墨西哥應(yīng)用權(quán)益法為10%,而美國適用20%和(b)在墨西哥開發(fā)費用資本化和攤銷后技術(shù)建立了可行性;在美國,他們被轉(zhuǎn)移。 a. 9。日本泡沫經(jīng)濟(jì)的破滅在1990年代促使日本財務(wù)報告的審查標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。很明顯,許多會計實踐實際上藏嚴(yán)重許多日本企業(yè)是如何做的。會計“大爆炸”旨在使日本公司的財務(wù)狀況更加透明,使日本會計更符合國際慣例。b. 實踐的變化包括以下:c. 答:要求上市公司報告現(xiàn)金流量表。d. b .子公司合并基于控制而不是所有權(quán)。e. c .附屬企業(yè)使用權(quán)益法核算基于影響而不是所有權(quán)。f. d .證券投資價值的市場,而不是成本。g. e .遞延稅是完全提供。h. f .養(yǎng)老金和其他退休義務(wù)應(yīng)計。i.j. 9。全面、完整的信息披露可靠、公平的信息有必要開發(fā)一個公平和有效的股票市場。會計的“盎格魯-撒克遜”模式(第2章中討論),強(qiáng)調(diào)公平的財務(wù)狀況和結(jié)果,強(qiáng)調(diào)管理,也促進(jìn)公平和有效的股票市場的發(fā)展。這個會計方向的國家(如美國和英國)活躍,公平和有效率的股票市場。還有一個法律結(jié)構(gòu)和有效的執(zhí)行法律和會計披露所有的工作。k. 中國正在發(fā)展會計準(zhǔn)則與股票市場取向上面所討論的。所以中國是正確的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)本身將支持股市的發(fā)展。此外,投資者必須有信心,標(biāo)準(zhǔn)被跟蹤,即。,信息傳播公司是可靠的。因此,良好的審計由訓(xùn)練有素的會計專業(yè)很重要。中國可能有困難發(fā)展中會計職業(yè),進(jìn)而成為阻礙證券市場的發(fā)展。中國還必須克服共產(chǎn)主義下的保密文化發(fā)達(dá)。a. 9。本章提到的一些例子,中國會計標(biāo)準(zhǔn)與世界一流的實踐是一致的。選擇性列表,更重要的是以下幾點:b. 答:比較合并財務(wù)報表,包括資產(chǎn)負(fù)債表,損益表,現(xiàn)金流量表,筆記。c. b .權(quán)責(zé)發(fā)生制識別收入與費用、匹配和一致性。d. c .采購業(yè)務(wù)組合年度減值測試方法。e. d . nonconsolidated子公司的權(quán)益法。f. e .使用歷史成本。g. f .融資租賃大寫。h. 12。英國在印度對會計的影響是顯而易見的。印度的普通法法律制度和公平的陳述會計隨之而來。像英國,財務(wù)報表必須給一個真正的和公平的視圖和有一個強(qiáng)大的自動調(diào)整的會計行業(yè)。專業(yè)會計師(審計師)被稱為注冊會計師在這兩個國家。本章中所描述的財務(wù)報告和會計測量對印度非常類似于第三章中描述的英國。a. 練習(xí)b. 1。美國c. 財務(wù)會計準(zhǔn)則委員會。d. 證券交易委員會。e. 墨西哥f. 答:理事會財務(wù)信息標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的研究和開發(fā)。g. 沒有明確的執(zhí)行機(jī)構(gòu)。然而,國家銀行和證券委員會調(diào)節(jié)墨西哥證券交易所。h. 日本i. 日本會計準(zhǔn)則理事會。j. b .金融服務(wù)機(jī)構(gòu)對上市公司在證券法律和司法部,當(dāng)涉及到公司法。k. 中國l. 答:中國財政部會計準(zhǔn)則委員會。m. b .中國注冊會計師協(xié)會根據(jù)財政部、管轄調(diào)節(jié)審計。n. 印度o. 印度特許會計師協(xié)會。p. 印度特許會計師協(xié)會。q.2。在撰寫本文時,下面的組織與IFAC的網(wǎng)站:美國管理會計師協(xié)會美國注冊會計師協(xié)會會計協(xié)會的董事會墨西哥Instituto Mexicano德康塔葡萄牙日報日本日本注冊會計師協(xié)會中國中國注冊會計師協(xié)會 2。五個表達(dá)式的問題、術(shù)語或短語不熟悉或不尋常的學(xué)生的祖國。以美國為祖國,這里是十二:A .三角法律系統(tǒng)的描述會計監(jiān)管在日本公司法組成的相互作用,證券交易法律,企業(yè)所得稅法。b .社會主義市場經(jīng)濟(jì),在中國使用來描述其計劃經(jīng)濟(jì)與市場適應(yīng)性。c .土地和工業(yè)產(chǎn)權(quán),仍屬于中國政府,私人公司獲得使用這些工業(yè)資產(chǎn)的權(quán)利。d .比索的目前的購買力一個術(shù)語來描述一般物價水平會計在墨西哥。e .稅務(wù)合規(guī)審計報告墨西哥審計師必須證明沒有違規(guī)行為觀察關(guān)于遵守稅法。財務(wù)狀況變動表-墨西哥的財務(wù)報表相對應(yīng)的現(xiàn)金流量表。然而,財務(wù)狀況變動表是準(zhǔn)備在不斷比索(通脹調(diào)整后的),而現(xiàn)金流量表使用歷史成本。g .資歷溢價在墨西哥賠償終止就業(yè)基于員工工作多長時間。在日本h集團(tuán)公司連鎖巨頭企業(yè)。即“關(guān)系”文化在中國的關(guān)系,基于相互關(guān)系和相互職責(zé)。jb股,外國投資者在中國上市公司股票。k .真正的和公平的觀點印度的需求,財務(wù)報表存在一個真正的和公平的觀點來自英國。l .融合在印度使用的術(shù)語合并。4。最重要的財務(wù)會計實踐或原則與國際準(zhǔn)則差異可能是以下幾點:美國后進(jìn)先出。由于稅法考慮,沒有其他國家使用后進(jìn)先出后進(jìn)先出在美國發(fā)現(xiàn)的程度降低公布業(yè)績。因為年齡的增長,降低庫存成本是顯示在資產(chǎn)負(fù)債表上,債務(wù)資產(chǎn)比率會更高。公司使用后進(jìn)先出必須報告所謂后進(jìn)先出儲備,使分析師將后進(jìn)先出相當(dāng)于FIFO。墨西哥通貨膨脹調(diào)整。世界上大多數(shù)國家資產(chǎn)價值在歷史成本和相關(guān)費用;一些國家將通貨膨脹調(diào)整。通貨膨脹調(diào)整,收益將較低,可能會降低資產(chǎn)負(fù)債率。不太可能分析師將能夠調(diào)整墨西哥賬戶歷史成本。當(dāng)然,這種調(diào)整是不明智的,因為高通脹。日本利益池方法業(yè)務(wù)組合,沒有一個政黨獲得控制。國際標(biāo)準(zhǔn)對所有業(yè)務(wù)組合作為一個購買。購買會計相比,池導(dǎo)致更高的收入和更低的資產(chǎn)價值。因此,債務(wù)資產(chǎn)比率會更高。分析師將無法調(diào)整會計方法。中國顯示土地使用權(quán)和工業(yè)產(chǎn)權(quán)歸政府作為無形資產(chǎn)。中國在多大程度上是很不尋常的政府擁有土地和工業(yè)產(chǎn)權(quán)。只要這些無形資產(chǎn)相當(dāng)重視,將沒有影響公布財報收益或資產(chǎn)負(fù)債比。然而,分析師必須意識到無形資產(chǎn)在中國公司的資產(chǎn)負(fù)債表是有形資產(chǎn)的資產(chǎn)負(fù)債表上來自其他國家的公司。印度池的利益(合并)融合的方法。如上所述,日本,國際標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是對所有業(yè)務(wù)組合購買。購買會計相比,池導(dǎo)致更高的收入和更低的資產(chǎn)價值。因此,債務(wù)資產(chǎn)比率會更高。分析師將無法調(diào)整會計方法。5. At the time of writing, the following numbers are reported by the World Federation of Stock Exchanges:CountryNo. of domestic listed firmsNo. of foreign listed firmsUnited States: American SE Nasdaq NYSE4952,8321,818100332452Mexico150176Japan: Osaka Tokyo1,0632,323128China: Shanghai SE Shenzhen SE83354400India: Bombay National4,7631,03400The significant number of listed companies in India may be surprising. It may also be surprising that the number of listed Japanese companies matches the numbers for the United States. Another potential surprise is the fact that the Mexican Stock Exchange has more foreign listed firms than domestic listed firms. Students will probably speculate that most of the foreign listed firms in Mexico are from other Latin American countries, a statement that is in fact true. The lack of foreign listed firms in China and India has two possible explanations either the government does not allow foreign firms to list on domestic exchanges, or companies do not see these stock markets as an attractive place to raise capital. The latter explanation is why there are so few foreign listed firms in Japan.3. A comparison of the countries in Exhibit 4-5 reveals few differences among the United States, Mexico, and China. Thus, all three countries can claim that their GAAP are comparably oriented toward equity investors. However, of the three countries, the United States can probably claim to have GAAP most oriented toward equity investors. The chapter notes that the U.S. has the most voluminous and detailed accounting requirements in the world and that they are rigorously enforced. Thus, the nod goes to the United States.India and Japan both allow pooling of interests accounting, an accounting treatment now at variance with international norms. The treatment of goodwill in these two countries is also at variance with international norms. In addition, Japans lease accounting treatment is at variance with international norms. Thus, Japan seems to be the country whose GAAP is least oriented toward equity investors. 4. At the time of writing, the following companies are listed on the New York Stock Exchange from Mexico, Japan, India, and China:MexicoAmerica MovilCemex Coca-Cola FEMSADesarrolladora Homex Empresas ICA Fomento Economico MexicanoGRUMAGrupo Aeroportuario del PacificoGrupo Aeroportuario del SuresteGrupo Casa SabaGrupo Radio CentroGrupo TelevisaGrupo TMMIndustrias BachocoTelefonos de MexicoVitroJapanAdvantestCannonHitachiHonda Motor KonamiKubota KyoceraMatsushita Electric IndustrialMitsubishi UFJ Financial GroupMizuho Financial GroupNidec Nippon Telegraph and TelephoneNIS Group Co.Nomura HoldingsNTT DoCoMoOrix Sony TDK Toyota MotorIndiaDr. Reddys LaboratoriesHDFC BankICICI BankMahanagar Telephone NigamPatni Computer SystemsSatyam Computer ServicesTata MotorsVidesh Sanchar NigamWiproWNS HoldingsChinaAluminum Corporation of ChinaAmerican Oriental Bioengineering China Eastern Airlines China Life InsuranceChina MobileChina Netcom GroupChina Petroleum and ChemicalChina Southern AirlinesChina TelecomChina UnicomGuangshen RailwayHuaneng Power InternationalMindray Medical InternationalNew Oriental Education and TechnologyPetroChina Semiconductor Manufacturing InternationalSinopec Shanghai PetrochemicalSuntech Power HoldingsTrina SolarYanzhou Coal Mining Mexico has 16 companies listed on the NYSE, ranking third after Brazil (35) and Chile (17). This is perhaps surprising given the strong economic links between the United States and Mexico discussed in the chapter. One would expect Mexico to have the most of any Latin American country. Of the countries in the Asia-Pacific region, China has the most number of companies listed on the NYSE (20); Japan is second (19); and India is third (10). As discussed in the chapter, the economies of China and India are growing rapidly. The relatively large numbers of NYSE listed Chinese and Indian companies probably reflect a need for capital by their larger companies. That Japan has approximately the same number of NYSE listed companies as China is perhaps surprising. However, the chapter discusses how debt financing dominates equity financing in Japan.8.a.The two major areas of difference are asset valuation and accounting for goodwill. In the U.K., assets may be valued at historical cost, current cost, or a mixture of the two. When fixed assets are revalued, depreciation and amortization must be calculated using the revalued amounts. Only historical cost is allowed in the U.S. In the U.K., goodwill can be impairments tested, as in the U.S., but may also be amortized over 20 years or less. Other differences between U.K. and U.S. GAAP relate to LIFO and the calculation of long-term deferred taxes. LIFO is rarely used in the U.K., but is relatively more common in the U.S. In the U.K., long-term deferred taxes may be valued at discounted present value. Finally, opportunities for income smoothing are probably greater in the U.K. than in the U.S. b. Research has documented that U.S. GAAP earnings is systematically more conservative than U.K. GAAP earnings (see, for example, P. Weetman and S.J. Gray, International Financial Analysis and Comparative Corporate Performance: The Impact of U.K. versus U.S. Accounting Principles on Earnings, Journal of International Financial Management and Accounting (Summer & Autumn 1990), pp. 111-130). However, many of the accounting principles on which this research study is based have now changed. Goodwill accounting should result in a more conservative income amount for U.K. companies if they systematically amortize it over 20 years. However, the occasional impairments write-downs that U.S. companies will have will result in a lower income amount in the year of write-down. The use of LIFO in the U.S. will result in more conservatively measured U.S. income amount. However, U.K. companies will report lower earnings if assets are revalued, because corresponding depreciation charges will be higher. The effects of U8。答:差異的兩個主要領(lǐng)域是商譽(yù)的資產(chǎn)評估和會計。在英國、資產(chǎn)價值歷史成本,目前的成本,或兩種的混合物。當(dāng)固定資產(chǎn)重估、折舊及攤銷必須使用重估金額計算。只允許歷史成本在美國在英國,商譽(yù)減值測試,在美國,但也可能是攤銷超過20年或更少。其他英國和美國公認(rèn)會計準(zhǔn)則之間的差異與后進(jìn)先出和長期遞延稅款的計算。在英國很少使用后進(jìn)先出,但在英國相對更常見的在美國長期遞延稅可能價值貼現(xiàn)現(xiàn)值。最后,收入平滑的機(jī)會可能是在英國比在美國b .的研究已經(jīng)證明,美國公認(rèn)會計準(zhǔn)則收入比英國公認(rèn)會計準(zhǔn)則收入系統(tǒng)更為保守(見,例如,p . Weetman S.J.灰色,國際金融公司業(yè)績分析和比較:英國與美國會計準(zhǔn)則的影響收入,國際財務(wù)管理與會計(1990年夏季和秋季),頁111 - 130)。然而,很多這個研究是基于會計準(zhǔn)則已經(jīng)改變了。商譽(yù)會計應(yīng)該導(dǎo)致一個更保守的英國企業(yè)的收入金額如果他們系統(tǒng)攤銷超過20年。然而,偶爾障礙減記,美國公司將會導(dǎo)致較低的收入金額減記。使用后進(jìn)先出在美國將導(dǎo)致更保守的美國收入金額來衡量。然而,英國公司將報告收入降低如果資產(chǎn)升值,因為相應(yīng)的折舊費用會更高。英國平滑活動的影響尚不清楚,但似乎公司更傾向于順利走向更高的收益,而不是更低?？偟膩碚f,我們認(rèn)為,美國公司將會更加保守的盈利數(shù)額,但U。K和美國公認(rèn)會計準(zhǔn)則趨同。.K. smoothing activities are unclear, but it seems likely that companies would be more inclined to smooth toward higher earnings rather than lower. On balance, we think that U.S. companies will have somewhat more conservative earnings amounts, but U.K and U.S. GAAP are converging.9.答:大公司必須準(zhǔn)備合并財務(wù)報表,而不僅僅是列出的。b .上市公司必須報告現(xiàn)金流量表。整合是基于控制而不是所有權(quán)。d .使用權(quán)益法是基于重大影響,而不是所有權(quán)。e .商譽(yù)計算凈資產(chǎn)公允市場價值的基礎(chǔ)上獲得的,而不是賬面價值。f .商譽(yù)攤銷超過20年,而不是五年。這也是減值測試。g .證券投資價值公允市場價值,而不是成本。h .存貨按較低的成本或凈變現(xiàn)價值,而不是成本。即遞延稅現(xiàn)在完全提供。j .退休養(yǎng)老金和其他義務(wù)現(xiàn)在完全積累。k .目前研究和開發(fā)費用化,而不是延遲在某些情況下。收入與費用的l .外幣翻譯現(xiàn)在翻譯的平均速度(而不是選擇年終或平均匯率)和股東權(quán)益的翻譯調(diào)整(而不是顯示為一個資產(chǎn)或負(fù)債)。10. The chapter identifies the following major changes that have occurred in Chinese accounting since the 1990s:a. The ASBE issued in 2006 represent a comprehensive set of Chinese accounting standards that are substantially in line with IFRS.b. The ASBE issued in 2006 also contains auditing standards similar to International Standards on Auditing. All Chinese accounting firms and auditors are required to follow these audit standards.c. A cash flow statement is now required.d. Goodwill is impairments tested rather than amortized.e. Use of the equity method is based on influence rather than ownership percentage.f. Consolidation of subsidiary companies is based on control rather than ownership percentage.g. Foreign currency translation of overseas subsidiaries is based on the primary economic environment in which they operate.h.

Following detailed rules is easier to defend in court than professional judgment. U.S. preparers and auditors demand details in order to defend themselves against lawsuits. Another reason is the standard setting process in the United States. Compromises are inevitable to balance the need for decision-useful information with the practical concerns of the FASBs constituents. Thus, exceptions are often written into standards. As discussed next, the legalistic environment found in the U.S. would have to change to make principles-based standards effective there.3.To make principles-based standards effective in the U.S., there would need to be a change in ethos not only among preparers and auditors, but also among regulators and users of financial statements. A principles-based approach requires a strong commitment from preparers that their financial statements are a faithful representation of all transactions. It also requires a strong commitment from auditors to resist client pressures. Both groups would need to exercise greater professional judgment than they do now. Regulators and users of financial statements would have to learn to be tolerant of the consequences of applying professional judgment, including possible greater diversity in practice. If lawyers and regulators continually second guess honest judgments made by preparers and auditors, the demand for rules will arise. Finally, the litigious nature of U.S. society would need to change, including the system of laws.2. In your authors opinion, there is no unequivocal answer to whether investors and analysts are better served by rules-based or principles-based accounting standards. There are advantages and disadvantages to each approach. The nature of society, including how the legal system settles disputes, impacts the effectiveness of either approach. Until recently, the U.S. seemed to be reasonably well served with a rules-based approach. As noted above, moving to principles-based accounting standards would require substantial change in ethos in the U.S. While principles-based standards may be less complex than rules-based standards, the fact is that the modern economy is full of complex transactions. Accounting standards reflect this reality.Case 4-2Casino Capital1. The conditions necessary to develop a stock market in an emerging economy include the following:a. Accounting that emphasizes fair presentation.b. Full and complete disclosure of reliable, evenhanded information about companies operations and financial condition.c. Competent, well-trained professional accountants both in industry and the auditing profession.d. Investor confidence that reporting and disclosure requirements are being followed and financial reporting is relevant and reliable.e. Legal structure and effective enforcement of laws and accounting disclosures.f. Good corporate governance, including effective monitoring and oversight of management.g. Sufficient wealth among the population to engage in stock market activity. In general, the stock market should be seen as a way to save instead of just making a quick profit from trading.h. Prohibition of insider trading.2. As discussed in the chapter, China has adopted accounting standards consistent with IFRS. In other words, Chinas standards are focused on fair presentation. However, from the chapter and the case it is clear that few of the other conditions enumerated above are present in China. The case says that balance sheets of Chinese companies are a “joke,” that “numbers are whatever the key man wants them to be,” and that levels of disclosure are “poor.” A 2002 survey revealed that 10 percent of listed Chinese companies “doctored” their books. The chapter discusses the current shortage of well-trained Chinese accountants. If trading is driven “almost entirely on rumor,” it is difficult to believe that investors have much confidence in the quality of financial reporting by Chinese companies. The legal infrastructure is not yet fully developed and the enforcement of accounting and other standards is weak. The case also mentions weak corporate governance and the lack of qualified independent directors to chair audit committees. It also states that investors are concerned with “trading not ownership.” Finally, the case states that “insider trading is still rife on a heroic scale.” 3. Until the problems listed above and in the case are solved, China will not develop a stock market with fair trading.4. Reforms include resolving the problems noted above.
