Within the latest version of the new accord and numerous consultation papers, the committee has reinforced its emphasis on risk management, encouraging banks to improve their risk assessment capabilities. Basel II attempts to accomplish this by closely aligning capital with modern risk management best practices, and by ensuring that the emphasis on risk makes its way onto supervisory practices and market discipline. Thus, regulatory pressure is, and will remain over the near future, a key driver of risk management systems development across market, credit and operational risk.","PeriodicalId":299727,"journal":{"name":"Balance Sheet","volume":"411 19","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114008113","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}

We regret this because of the growing need for more forward‐looking information by management and external stakeholders and the apparent lack of theory and practical solutions. The ever‐increasing pace of the economy incites the need to disclose trends on the microeconomic level of a company. Further to this point, recent developments related to corporate governance, give new imputs to search for the answer to the question if we can improve the reliability and effectiveness of accounting in general, and financial statements in particular. This paper may contribute in to a better understanding of the concept that underpins momentum accounting. We present a notional example concerning the balance sheet ratio: return on equity. This example, so we hope, should encourage practitioners and academics to explore the usability of triple‐entry accounting and momentum accounting as alternative means to provide more forward‐looking information.","PeriodicalId":299727,"journal":{"name":"Balance Sheet","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121868107","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}
