{"title":"Incidence of IFRS for SMEs in the Financial Sustainability on the Alpaquero Textile Sector of Perú, 2018","authors":"Constante Eduardo Jara Ortega, Daniel Eduardo Jara Rodrı́guez, Flor Vanessa Huamán Callo","doi":"10.20474/jabs-5.6.2","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.20474/jabs-5.6.2","url":null,"abstract":"One of the most representative economic sectors in Peru is the textile industry, especially the one focused on alpaca fiber, due to the high quality of raw material that exists in this country. The vast majority of this industry is occupied by large companies, which, with greater capital, better processes and ample capacity for negotiating prices with alpaca fiber producers, generate a type of monopoly dominated by large-scale companies, leaving the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that enter in this sector relegated, despite its large number, due to its limited resources, both, economic and technical. This research aims to demonstrate that with a correct order in the accounting management, internal control and application of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for SMEs since an SME starts, it can consolidate its stability over time to through greater financial sustainability. To that end, the company Millma y Qaytu was analyzed, which is an SME that is dedicated to the textile sector based in alpaca fiber. The accounting information was used from the creation of the company until the last available (2015 to 2017), proposing an applied investigation, correlational level, with non-experimental design and applying an adaptation to the specific case of the methodology proposed by (Bowman, 2011) ), which serves to measure the financial sustainability of an entity. As a result of the investigation, it was obtained that IFRS for SMEs have a positive impact on the sustainability of SMEs in the alpaquero textile sector.","PeriodicalId":430390,"journal":{"name":"SRPN: Microfinance (Topic)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131950051","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}

A total of 282 representative samples were collected constituting 206 clients, 44 community leaders, and 32 MFI staffs. Along with descriptive statistics, “R package” particularly “fSRM” package of Social Relations Model (SRM) was used for analysis. SRM estimation in two different models depicts mixed results. Estimated variance, covariance, and dyadic reciprocity covariance for clients, staffs, and leaders are found statistically significant in different combination. However, the extent of statistical significance is found highest for staffs, followed by clients and community leaders. This implies that client-staff dyadic relationship is more warmth than that of client-leader and staff-leader dyads. Leaders maintain less warmth relationship than do the clients and staffs as because leaders have comparatively less connection with microfinance program. Despite small sample size of this study, the empirical findings justify the notion that Bangladesh is the success case of microfinance program because of the strong relationship between clients and staffs. The findings might also open a window for adopting Social Relations Model in further microfinance research.","PeriodicalId":430390,"journal":{"name":"SRPN: Microfinance (Topic)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132398369","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}

In the post independent period the NGOs became a supplementary agency for the developmental activities of the government and in some cases they become alternative to the government. After the introduction of microfinance through Self-Help Groups (SHG), they penetrated into each and every corner in India and actually the NGOs are responsible for converting the pilot project of microfinance into a major programme and the NGOs are responsible for making the microfinance through SHG as the largest programme in the world. This paper analyses the role of NGOs in sustainable rural development through microfinance. The study reported that NGOs are playing vital role in the formation of SHGs and motivating women to join the groups and linking the groups with the banks for microfinance. But, Non-governmental Organisations played limited role in marketing the products of SHGs and release of subsidies.","PeriodicalId":430390,"journal":{"name":"SRPN: Microfinance (Topic)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133338791","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 hand-collected sample consists of 600 random loan requests -- 300 in each platform -- in different stages of fulfillment during the month of February 2011. The results show significant platform differences in terms of basic common characteristics such as loan amount, maturity and interest rate, as well as credit rating and borrower experience. Furthermore, the different measures in the speed of funding emphasize the importance of credit risk in both platforms as well as the likely use of rules of thumb by retail lenders. Lenders appear to have limits in the capital invested per loan and fund more slowly loans with lower credit ratings and loan purposes that may be related to lower credit scores. In the case of Zopa, besides lending more slowly, they also propose higher rates. Overall, evidence suggests that there are commonalities but also significant differences between Prosper in the US and Zopa in the UK.","PeriodicalId":430390,"journal":{"name":"SRPN: Microfinance (Topic)","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124788719","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}

To address selection on unobservables, we use two alternative approaches: an instrumental variables strategy that exploits a natural nonlinearity arising from the interaction of self-selection by households with the MFI screening, and the `Minimum-Bias Bias-Corrected' estimator due to Millimet and Tchernis (2010) that corrects for endogeneity bias without exclusion restrictions. The empirical results suggest that microfinance improves food security of a relatively better-off household, but may not have any robust effect on the food security of the poorest of the poor. Evidence is strong that microfinance helps households to avoid distress sale of labor, and reduces the probability of short term migration in search of work during Monga.","PeriodicalId":430390,"journal":{"name":"SRPN: Microfinance (Topic)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121984651","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}
