  • Introduction of “Split Payment” Regulations for RCC Service Invoices
    Market Notice 11 August 2017 MN_61/2017 Introduction of “Split Payment” regulations for RCC service invoices For the attention of: Intermediaries Priority: High Re: Invoicing of RCC charges Dear Client, Please note that following the publication of the Ministry of Economy and Finance Decree of 13 July 2017 in Official Gazette No. 171 of 24 July 2017, which amends the implementing regulations for the splitting of payments for VAT purposes (Article 17-ter, Presidential Decree No. 633/1972) in invoices payable as of 1 July 2017, the RCC fees invoicing application for issuer companies included in the list of listed companies in the FTSE MIB Index published by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (link) must be adapted to the new provisions. The Monte Titoli application is currently in the process of modification and therefore data indicated in the invoicing documentation issued by intermediaries to the issuers concerned (see the list below) in the period 1 July - 10 August is not consistent with the instructions in the Decree. Pending the adaption of the application, and in order to avoid issuing incorrect documents, the invoice request function has been temporarily suspended exclusively for sums due from Issuers to which the aforementioned Decree applies. It should be recalled that the RCC application allows the recovery of sums in suspension without time limits. Monte Titoli shall promptly inform clients by means of Market Notice when the application has been adapted. 1 Market Notice 11 August 2017 MN_61/2017 We apologise for this temporary inconvenience.

  • Transition Effects from the Initial Adoption of IFRS 9 by Italian and German Blue Chip Companies
    Journal of Modern Accounting and Auditing, November 2020, Vol. 16, No.11, 467-483 doi: 10.17265/1548-6583/2020.11.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING Transition Effects from the Initial Adoption of IFRS 9 by Italian and German Blue Chip Companies Knut Henkel University of Applied Sciences, Emden/Leer, Emden, Germany Marvin Bürger NORD/LB Norddeutsche Landesbank - Girozentrale -, Hanover, Germany For the financial years from 2018, the new standard for accounting of financial instruments, IFRS 9, was applicable for the first time. Various questions arose in connection with the transition. For example, how high would the resulting transition effect be on equity? Another aspect related to the question of the extent to which the fair value measurement (through profit or loss) would increase. It is also of interest whether the previously presented IFRS 9 changes are classifiable as being material. Through the analysis of the financial statements of FTSE MIB and DAX 30 companies that were prepared for the first time in accordance with IFRS 9 in the year 2018, answers are given in this article to the aforementioned questions and a comparison is made regarding the extent to which national differences or commonalities existed. In the overall view of the absolute change in equity, for the FTSE MIB companies, a mean value of € - 3.03 million was calculated and for the DAX 30 companies, € - 34.29 million. The equity ratio (median), however, only declined marginally in percentage points with the FTSE MIB companies (-0.07), as well as with the DAX 30 companies (-0.02). With regard to the migration of financial assets, it has been shown that the accounting and measurement of more than 90% of financial assets of the FTSE MIB and DAX 30 companies have not changed.
