text: We examine whether the mandated introduction of International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) is associated with the propensity to access the public rather
than private debt market and the cost of debt. We use a global sample of public
bonds and private loans and find that mandatory IFRS adopters are more likely,
post-IFRS, to issue bonds than to borrow privately. We also find that mandatory
IFRS adopters pay lower bond yield spreads, but not lower loan spreads, after
the mandate. These findings are consistent with debt providers responding positively
to financial reporting of higher quality and comparability, but only when there
is a greater reliance on publicly available financial statements than private
communication. Lastly, we document that the observed debt market benefits are
concentrated in countries with larger differences between domestic GAAP and IFRS
and are present even for EU countries that did not experience concurrent financial
reporting enforcement or other institutional reforms. Overall, our study documents
positive economic consequences around the mandated IFRS adoption for corporate
debt financing and, in particular, for bond financing.

text: This study examines the determinants of financial firms' lobbying behaviour
in the replacement process of International Financial Reporting Standard 4 (IFRS
4) Insurance Contracts. Based on comment letters in response to International
Accounting Standards Board's (IASB) Exposure Draft 2010/8, we investigate firms'
lobbying decisions and their long-term lobbying intensity. Using an international
sample of publicly listed financial firms, we show that insurance companies and
financially constrained IFRS firms are more likely to lobby the IASB. We also
examine the long-term lobbying activity in the IFRS 4 replacement process during
the years 2007–2010. We find that insurance companies and firms with dispersed
ownership lobby more. Our results are stronger for IFRS firms compared to US generally
accepted accounting principles users. Overall, we document intense lobbying by
financial firms and present results that are largely consistent with economic
consequences of anticipated accounting changes being the main driver of firms'
lobbying behaviour. These results are in line with prior findings for non-financial
firms.

text: 'This study examines the effect of audit on private firms’ cost of debt. We
use a sample of 1,949 small private firms operating in the period 2006-2010 with
optional financial statement audit. High quality data allows us to construct a
more precise interest rate measure than existing studies employ. After controlling
for obvious sources of demand for voluntary audits (ownership complexity, subsidiary
status, bank relations), we find a robust central result that voluntary audits
increase rather than decrease the cost of debt financing, contrary to several
existing studies. This finding indicates that voluntary audits are generally treated
as “adopting a label” and penalised by creditors, regardless of the perceived
auditor quality as a result of the lemon problem in the audit market. Even Big-4
audits increase the cost of debt, likely as a result due to the lemon problem
in the audit market, although the increase is smaller than for non-Big-4 audits.
The results are sensitive to the estimation method used (OLS, Heckman’s two-step,
PSM) and (sub-)sample selection. We show that disregarding the underlying assumptions
of these estimation methods may lead to incorrect inferences. Additional analyses
show that audited firms’ reported earnings are less informative about future operating
performance than earnings of their unaudited counterparts. Our results also indicate
that results are sensitive to cost of debt definition and this might have affected
the results reported in the existing literature. '

text: Private firms are likely to use the financial reporting process more for other
objectives, such as tax savings, than for communicating performance. However,
observing firms choosing accounting policies for tax-minimisation purposes is
not straightforward due to (i) tax and non-tax costs of reporting lower income
(ii) accounting policies that result in lower reported income and no tax savings
but generate non-tax benefits (iii) preparers' multiple incentives and (iv) econometric
issues. We observe a large sample of 20,505 private firms writing off assets in
two separate regimes, one that generates tax savings and one that does not. Firms
significantly decrease, but continue to use, write-offs after the adverse change
in tax treatment of write-offs. The exogenous tax change should not affect other
reporting incentives. This allows us to disentangle the tax-minimisation incentive
from other (un-observable) incentives, including debt contracting, dividends and
employee relations that contribute to the observed anomalous positive relationship
between write-offs and profitability. We show that for private firms (i) obtaining
tax savings is important overall (ii) non-tax costs and benefits are probably
also important and (iii) earnings informativeness for future cash flows increases
after the adverse tax legislation change.

text: 'Using a large sample of small private companies, we show incremental influence
ofeconomic incentives over prescriptions from accounting standards by financial
statementpreparers in a code‐law setting with high alignment between financial
and tax reportingand no agency problems. Contrary to predictions from standards,
more profitable companiesare more likely to write‐off and the write‐off magnitude
is greater, reflecting taxminimisation. Larger companies are more likely to write‐off,
but the magnitude decreaseswith size, reflecting increasing political costs due
to greater visibility to taxauthorities. Previous write‐off patterns and magnitudes
are persistent, reflectinginstitutional learning linked to regulatory changes. '

text: Performance measurement systems are the focus of considerable attention in
academic and practitioner communities as they contribute to the management of
organisational performance. The literature suggests that companies have to put
much more emphasis on non-financial measures than they did in the past and that
they should implement some kind of integrated performance measurement system.
The purpose of our exploratory study was to find out characteristics of performance
measurement and management in Slovenian companies. We conducted a survey ‘Performance
management in Slovenian companies’ in the spring of 2003. Our sample consists
of 108 Slovenian companies. The research results show that Slovenian companies
still perceive financial performance measures as more important than non-financial,
although they measure both perspectives of their business. Also, we found out
that companies measure their performance unsystematically as only 54 per cent
of companies that have not changed their performance measurement methods in the
last five years use balanced scorecard or some other form of integrated performance
measurement system.
