We show that this advantage translates into an economically significant trading advantage, and prices, volumes, and spreads respond to the news contained in filings beginning around 30 seconds before public posting. These findings indicate that the SEC dissemination process does not always provide a level playing field and that the meaning of publicly available information in capital markets is no longer simple or obvious. In response to our study, the SEC launched an investigation and agreed to eliminate the PDS timing advantage.","PeriodicalId":113347,"journal":{"name":"Chicago Booth ARC: Financial Accounting (Topic)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123847259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

İşletmeler marka değerlerini artırmak, işletme maliyetlerini düşürmek, reklam ve pazarlama faaliyetlerini yürütmek ile daha birçok nedenle web sitesi kurmaktadırlar. Maliyetlerin azalmasıyla birlikte web sitesi kurulumu da çok kolay bir hal almıştır. Bu makalede web sitelerinin planlanmasında, oluşturulmasında ve tasarımında ortaya çıkan maliyetlerin muhasebeleştirilmesi konusu ele alınmıştır. Yeni Türk Ticaret Kanunu’na (TTK’ya) göre sermaye şirketlerinin web sitesi kurmasının yasal bir zorunluluk haline getirilmesi, işletmelerde web sitesi maliyetlerinin muhasebeleştirilmesi konusunun önemini artırmaktadır. Ayrıca ortaya çıkan bu maliyetlerin Türkiye Muhasebe Standartları’na (TMS) göre nasıl muhasebeleştirileceği de önem arz etmektedir. Web sitesinin kuruluş ve geliştirmesi maliyetleri Türkiye Muhasebe Standartları açısından incelendiğinde; bir kısım web sitesi maliyetlerinin aktifleştirilmesi gerektiği, bir kısmının da gider olarak kaydedilmesi gerektiği anlaşılmaktadır. <b>English Abstract:</b> Building web site has become a necessity today as a result of extensive electronic commerce activities. Businesses build a web site to increase brand value, decrease costs, run marketing and advertising operations as well as other various reasons. Setting up a website has become easier than ever with decreasing costs. This paper discusses the accounting of costs and expenses observed through web site setting, planning and designing phases. The fact that building a web site is now mandatory for stock corporations, accounting of web site costs concept has become much more significant. Moreover, accounting and recognition of web site costs based on Turkish Accounting Standards (TAS) is also a critical issue. When website establishment and development costs are investigated in terms of Turkish Accounting Standards (TAS); it is clear that some web site costs should be activated and capitalized, while some other specific ones should be written off.","PeriodicalId":113347,"journal":{"name":"Chicago Booth ARC: Financial Accounting (Topic)","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132080842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The existing literature has provided evidence on the existence and pervasiveness of accounting conservatism, such as compensation and debt contracts, shareholder litigation, taxation and accounting supervision. However, there is very limited evidence and discussion on the potential impact of accounting conservatism on audit risk and auditor resignation. Furthermore, research on how effective corporate governance affects the relationship is rarely covered. \u0000We select the firm-year observations from 2005 to 2015. We find that the conditional conservatism reduces the auditor resignations by reducing the expected audit risk. However, further empirical results show that this reduction in auditor resignations is attenuated by higher corporate governance quality. That is, effective corporate governance will moderate the negative correlation between conservatism and auditor resignations. The empirical results of this paper are of value to firms, auditors, regulators, standard-setters and corporate managers. In addition, this paper expands the literature on the influencing factors of auditor resignations.","PeriodicalId":113347,"journal":{"name":"Chicago Booth ARC: Financial Accounting (Topic)","volume":"20 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120908609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also to examine what changed on the importance of the two most significant accounting variables, earnings and book value. <br><br>Design/methodology/approach - We determine value relevance basing on Ohlson's model using price models. Our sample consists of companies that constitute the Standard &amp; Poor's 500 Index and we examine the period 2002 to 2014. We split our sample in pre and post crisis period. For each period we study the value relevance of financial statements and the importance of specific accounting variables. <br><br>Findings - According to findings, after the crisis there was a decline in value relevance of financial statements as the crisis has created an increase of uncertainty about the financial position of companies. Also earnings have gained in terms of value relevance against Book Value. Investors are expected to pay more attention to the ability of the company to produce wealth and less on financial position. <br><br>Research limitations/implications - Because we focus only on a specific Financial Crisis and only on USA listed firms, the research results may lack generalisability. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to test value relevance of financial statements during additional crises periods. <br><br>Practical implications - The paper includes implications for the development financial reporting standards as reveals weaknesses of financial statements on crises periods.<br><br>Originality/value - This paper fulfills an identified need to study how reliability and importance of financial statements can be changes on a financial crisis.<br>","PeriodicalId":113347,"journal":{"name":"Chicago Booth ARC: Financial Accounting (Topic)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126345823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Debt financing often comes with strict conditions or covenants in addition to having to pay interest and principal at specified dates. Debt \"sustainability\" is the ability of a company to meet its debt obligations without requiring debt relief. In this working paper we have developed a Debt Sustainability Ratio that companies can use to determine whether it can sustain the burden of its debts or not. Using this ratio the management of a company can take important decisions to meet their future financing needs.","PeriodicalId":113347,"journal":{"name":"Chicago Booth ARC: Financial Accounting (Topic)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124486963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Capital covenants control agency problems by aligning debtholder-shareholder interests. Performance covenants serve as tripwires that limit agency problems via the transfer of control to lenders in states where the value of their claim is at risk. Companies trade off these mechanisms. Capital covenants impose costly restrictions on capital structure, while performance covenants require contractible accounting information to be available. Consistent with these arguments, we find that the use of performance covenants relative to capital covenants is positively associated with (1) the financial constraints of the borrower, (2) the extent to which accounting information portrays credit risk, (3) the likelihood of contract renegotiation, and (4) the presence of contractual restrictions on managerial actions. Our findings suggest that accounting-based covenants can improve contracting efficiency in two conceptually different ways.","PeriodicalId":113347,"journal":{"name":"Chicago Booth ARC: Financial Accounting (Topic)","volume":"2031 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127461619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dodwell","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1624043","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1624043","url":null,"abstract":"This paper examines the prospect of revitalizing asset-backed and non-agency mortgage-backed securitization markets rendered nearly dormant in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. First, it briefly summarizes the background of the debacle and presents historical parallels for context. Then the analysis details new and proposed regulatory and industry reforms that will affect the supply of and demand for mortgage- and asset-backed securities. Incentives for future securitization will be tempered by amended accounting consolidation rules that result in more costly capital requirements for issuers, and by revised valuation criteria that impact the capital adequacy of investors. Collateral transparency will be paramount in the return of private-label securitization, and revival will depend on economic recovery and pending legislation and regulation. New securitization also will rest on the degree of moral hazard posed by continued underwriting concessions, current loan modification initiatives, and ongoing government subsidies. In any case, the recognition of securitization as an important financing tool, that contributed so much to economic prosperity before the abuses, constitutes a major impetus to its restoration.","PeriodicalId":113347,"journal":{"name":"Chicago Booth ARC: Financial Accounting (Topic)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122998508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
