3.5 FINANCIAL ASSETS and LIABILITIES Definitions 1. Financial Assets Include Cash, Equity Instruments of Other Entities
128 SU 3: Financial Accounting I 3.5 FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Definitions 1. Financial assets include cash, equity instruments of other entities (e.g., preference shares), contract rights to receive cash or other financial assets from other entities (e.g., accounts receivable), etc. 2. Financial liabilities include obligations to deliver cash or another financial asset (e.g., bonds or accounts payable), obligations to exchange financial instruments under potentially unfavorable conditions (e.g., written options), etc. Initial Recognition 3. A financial asset or liability is initially recognized only when the entity is a party to the contract. Thus, contract rights and obligations under derivatives are recognized as assets and liabilities, respectively. a. A firm commitment to buy or sell goods or services ordinarily does not result in recognition until at least one party has performed. 1) However, certain contracts to buy or sell a nonfinancial item may result in recognition of an asset or liability. a) For example, a firm commitment to buy a commodity in the future that (1) can be settled in cash and (2) is not held for the purpose of receiving the commodity is treated as a financial instrument. Accordingly, its net fair value is recognized at the commitment date. b) If an unrecognized firm commitment is hedged in a fair value hedge,a change in its net fair value related to the hedged risk is recognized as an asset or liability. 4. An issuer of a financial guarantee initially recognizes a liability and measures it at fair value. Subsequent measurement is at the greater of (a) the amount based on accounting for provisions or (b) the amortized amount. -

Distinguishing Between Securities Account and Deposit Accounts Under the UCC
As Appeared in the Illinois Bar Journal December, 2000, Volume 88 #12 Distinguishing Between Securities Account and Deposit Accounts Under the UCC By René Ghadimi, Katten Muchin Zavis Rosenman ©Reprinted with permission of the Illinois Bar Journal. Copyright by the Illinois State Bar Association, on the Web at <www.isba.org> Lenders frequently take security interests in the deposit accounts and securities accounts of their borrowers to secure the repayment of borrowers loan obligations. This article explores the basis for perfecting security interests in securities and deposit accounts and discusses the often important and sometimes elusive distinction between the two. The first step [in] determining how to perfect a lien is to decide whether a given account is a deposit or a securities account, as such terms are defined in the UCC in the relevant jurisdiction. Cash collateral accounts of one form or another are an important part of many finance transactions. These accounts may constitute significant assets of a borrower and can assume many forms, including operating accounts, capital subscription accounts, various types of reserve accounts and cash management accounts. These accounts may contain funds that are maintained overnight or for extended periods. More often than not, business realities dictate that the borrower be allowed to maintain some degree of control over the funds and invest them in financial assets rather than letting them languish as cash balances. The question for lenders who typically take a pledge of these accounts to secure the loan obligations of their borrower is how to perfect their security interest. These lenders must confront the issue of whether these various accounts are deposit accounts or securities accounts under the Uniform Commercial Code, or maybe a little of both. -
Going Concern Considerations and Recommendations(PDF)
PCAOB Investor Sub Advisory Group GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS March 28, 2012 Auditing standards requiring auditors to issue going concern opinions have existed for several decades. However, research indicates the success with this standard has been somewhat spotty at best. Our experiences, including as signing audit partners, has been that it takes a significant amount of time, to carefully analyze a company’s financial condition, liquidity and results of operations when objectively trying to determine if the company is going to last another year or not. The one year from the balance sheet date has been a very clear standard auditors’ and companies fully understand. However, when a significant event would be due to occur shortly after that 12 month period, such as a major debt refinancing being due, or a major customer or vendor supply agreement concluding, it did make one nervous looking to just a twelve month period. Auditors will typically look at historical results in the last few years, especially trends in the last half and quarter of the year. That would include revenue trends, cash sources and uses, available cash and funding sources, etc. The auditor would look at budgets and projections for the next year, and require management to provide, and go over, their projections and key assumptions going into those projections. The auditor would try to get a handle on the risks in those projections and what things could go awry that would result in more negative results, than were being projected. More difficult for the auditor was getting data on the industry, competitors and economy and how they would affect a company’s financial stability. -
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments Understanding the Basics Introduction
www.pwc.com/ifrs9 IFRS 9, Financial Instruments Understanding the basics Introduction Revenue isn’t the only new IFRS to worry about for 2018—there is IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, to consider as well. Contrary to widespread belief, IFRS 9 affects more than just financial institutions. Any entity could have significant changes to its financial reporting as the result of this standard. That is certain to be the case for those with long-term loans, equity investments, or any non- vanilla financial assets. It might even be the case for those only holding short- term receivables. It all depends. Possible consequences of IFRS 9 include: • More income statement volatility. IFRS 9 raises the risk that more assets will have to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit and loss as they arise. • Earlier recognition of impairment losses on receivables and loans, including trade receivables. Entities will have to start providing for possible future credit losses in the very first reporting period a loan goes on the books – even if it is highly likely that the asset will be fully collectible. • Significant new disclosure requirements—the more significantly impacted may need new systems and processes to collect the necessary data. IFRS 9 also includes significant new hedging requirements, which we address in a separate publication – Practical guide – General hedge accounting. With careful planning, the changes that IFRS 9 introduces might provide a great opportunity for balance sheet optimization, or enhanced efficiency of the reporting process and cost savings. Left too long, they could lead to some nasty surprises. -

ABC Fund is an existing preparer of IFRS financial statements; IFRS 1, ‘First-time adoption of IFRS’, is not applicable. It does not have any subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures. The Fund’s shares are not traded in a public market. Guidance on financial statements for first-time adopters of IFRS is available at www.pwc.com/ifrs. This publication is based on the requirements of IFRS standards and interpretations for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2019. There are no standards effective for the first time in 2019 that required changes to the disclosures or accounting policies in this publication. However, readers should consider whether any of the standards that are mandatory for the first time for financial years beginning 1 January 2019 could affect their own accounting policies. Appendix XII contains a full list of these standards (including those that have only a disclosure impact) as well as a summary of their key requirements. In compiling the illustrative disclosures, we have updated the guidance included in Appendix VIII to address IFRIC 23 ‘Uncertainty over income tax treatments’ which is applicable for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Commentary boxes are included throughout the publication to provide additional information where necessary. -

The Board concluded that no further amendments to IFRS 2 are needed. It felt the main issues that have arisen in practice have been addressed and there are no significant financial reporting problems to address through changing the standard. However, it did acknowledge that a key source of complexity is the variety and complexity of terms and conditions included in share-based payment arrangements, which cannot be solved through amendments to the standard. -

The Role of Audit and Credit Rating Agencies in the Assessment of Company Creditworthiness with Special Focus on Banks Udc 657.6:347.734
FACTA UNIVERSITATIS Series: Economics and Organization Vol. 16, No 1, 2019, pp. 89 - 101 https://doi.org/10.22190/FUEO1901089J Review Paper THE ROLE OF AUDIT AND CREDIT RATING AGENCIES IN THE ASSESSMENT OF COMPANY CREDITWORTHINESS WITH SPECIAL FOCUS ON BANKS UDC 657.6:347.734 Mirjana Jemović, Milica Đorđević, Jelena Radojičić Unversity of Niš, Faculty of Economics, Niš, Serbia Abstract. Audit and credit rating agencies have a significant responsibility in assessing company creditworthiness and giving opinions on the client’s ability to continue business in the future, most often the next fiscal year. Responsibility is even greater when it comes to banks and their creditworthiness. The financial crisis of 2007 and the bankruptcy of a number of banks and other financial institutions imposed a need to seek accountability for the “delayed” reaction of regulatory bodies and significant fiscal consequences of the crisis. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the efficiency of credit rating agencies and external audit in assessing the creditworthiness of companies and banks, not for the purpose of finding their individual responsibilities, but to look at possible coordinated and joint actions to prevent future crisis events. Key words: credit rating agencies, external audit, creditworthiness, financial crisis JEL Classification: G21, G24, G28, M42, M48 INTRODUCTION Investors make investment decisions based on information they have about company creditworthiness. For these reasons, companies listed on the stock market are obliged to report on their operations by publishing their financial statements. In order to reduce information asymmetry between issuers of securities and investors, numerous bodies and agencies assess company creditworthiness.
