Whole-business securitization can be defined as a form of asset-backed financing in which operating assets are financed in the bond market via a bankruptcy-remote vehicle (hereafter: SPV) and in which the operating company keeps complete control over the assets securitized. In case of default, control is handed over to the security trustee for the benefit of the note holders for the remaining term of financing. One of the great challenges lies in defining the difference between operating asset securitization and the more common forms of securitization 5 This feature makes it difficult in some countries to structure a business securitization deal. In fact, it has been proven to be hard to separate the assets legally while the sponsor still retains operating control and services these assets. Under U.K. law, this difficulty has almost been eliminated by the 1986 Insolvency Act, which permits the holder of a charge over substantially all of the assets of a corporate to control the insolvency proceeds of that corporate through an administrative receiver.

    CORPORATE FINANCE PRACTICE The CEO’s guide to corporate finance Richard Dobbs, Bill Huyett, and Tim Koller Artwork by Daniel Bejar Four principles can help you make great financial decisions— even when the CFO’s not in the room. The problem Strategic decisions can be com- plicated by competing, often spurious notions of what creates value. Even executives with solid instincts can be seduced by the allure of financial engineering, high leverage, or the idea that well-established rules of eco- nomics no longer apply. Why it matters Such misconceptions can undermine strategic decision making and slow down economies. What you should do about it Test decisions such as whether to undertake acquisitions, make dives- titures, invest in projects, or increase executive compensation against four enduring principles of corporate finance. Doing so will often require managers to adopt new practices, such as justifying mergers on the basis of their impact on cash flows rather than on earnings per share, holding regular business exit reviews, focusing on enterprise-wide risks that may lurk within individual projects, and indexing executive compensation to the growth and market performance of peer companies. 3 The CEO’s guide to corporate finance It’s one thing for a CFO to understand the technical methods of valuation—and for members of the finance organization to apply them to help line managers monitor and improve company performance. But it’s still more powerful when CEOs, board members, and other non- financial executives internalize the principles of value creation. Doing so allows them to make independent, courageous, and even un- popular business decisions in the face of myths and misconceptions about what creates value.

  • Who Regulates Whom? an Overview of the US Financial Regulatory
    Who Regulates Whom? An Overview of the U.S. Financial Regulatory Framework Updated March 10, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44918 Who Regulates Whom? An Overview of the U.S. Financial Regulatory Framework Summary The financial regulatory system has been described as fragmented, with multiple overlapping regulators and a dual state-federal regulatory system. The system evolved piecemeal, punctuated by major changes in response to various historical financial crises. The most recent financial crisis also resulted in changes to the regulatory system through the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act; P.L. 111-203) and the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA; P.L. 110-289). To address the fragmented nature of the system, the Dodd-Frank Act created the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), a council of regulators and experts chaired by the Treasury Secretary. At the federal level, regulators can be clustered in the following areas: Depository regulators—Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and Federal Reserve for banks; and National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) for credit unions; Securities markets regulators—Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC); Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) regulators—Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), created by HERA, and Farm Credit Administration (FCA); and Consumer protection regulator—Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), created by the Dodd-Frank Act. Other entities that play a role in financial regulation are interagency bodies, state regulators, and international regulatory fora. Notably, federal regulators generally play a secondary role in insurance markets.

  • How Do Cfos Make Capital Budgeting and Capital Structure
    HOW DO CFOS MAKE by John Graham and Campbell Harvey, CAPITAL BUDGETING Duke University* AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE DECISIONS? e recently conducted a comprehensive survey that analyzed the current practice of corporate finance, with particular focus on the W areas of capital budgeting and capital structure. The survey results enabled us to identify aspects of corporate practice that are consistent with finance theory, as well as aspects that are hard to reconcile with what we teach in our business schools today. In presenting these results, we hope that some practitioners will find it worthwhile to observe how other companies operate and perhaps modify their own practices. It may also be useful for finance academics to consider differences between theory and practice as a reason to revisit the theory. We solicited responses from approximately 4,440 companies and received 392 completed surveys, representing a wide variety of firms and industries.1 The survey contained nearly 100 questions and explored both capital budgeting and capital structure decisions in depth. The responses to these questions enabled us to explore whether and how these corporate policies are interrelated. For example, we investigated whether companies that made more aggressive use of debt financing also tended to use more sophisticated capital budgeting techniques, perhaps because of their greater need for discipline and precision in the corporate investment process. More generally, the design of our survey allowed for a richer under- standing of corporate decision-making by analyzing the CFOs’ responses in the context of various company characteristics, such as size, P/E ratio, leverage, credit rating, dividend policy, and industry.

  • Fundamental Tax Reform and Corporate Financial Policy William
    Fundamental Tax Reform and Corporate Financial Policy William Gentry and R. Glenn Hubbard EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The effects of tax reform on corporate financial decisions help determine whether reform will increase capital formation and simplify the tax system. This paper describes the effects of fundamental tax reform on corporate tax planning and summarizes economists' knowledge of the magnitude of these effects. We analyze both income tax reform, consisting of integrating the corporate and personal income taxes, and moving to a broad- based consumption tax. As prototypes of reform, we use the U.S. Treasury's comprehensive business income tax proposal for income tax reform and the flat tax for consumption tax reform. The critical difference between these reforms is that the consumption tax gives firms immediate deductions for capital outlays instead of the depreciation allowances of the income tax. Tax reform can affect business organizational form, capital structure, and timing decisions. Our major theme is that the two types of reform will have similar effects on business financial decisions because they both integrate corporate and personal income taxes. Both reforms eliminate the tax differentials between corporate and noncorporate businesses and between debt and equity financing. Since both reforms eliminate investor- level taxes on financial assets, they reduce the effects of taxes on timing decisions associated with financial assets, such as the timing of corporate dividends. Assumptions about how taxes affect these various financial decisions have important implications for the incidence of the corporate tax. These reforms also greatly alter the current incentives for tax-motivated financial planning. 1. INTRODUCTION Proponents of fundamental tax reform in the United States claim that tax reform would increase saving and investment (see, e.g., the analysis in Auerbach, 1996) and create a simpler tax system (see, e.g., the analysis in Slemrod and Bakija, 1996).

    STUDY SESSION 7 Corporate Finance This study session covers the capital budgeting process with emphasis on its prin- ciples and investment decision criteria. Project evaluation through the use of spread- sheet modeling is presented. Other income and valuation model approaches are compared. The subject of capital structure is introduced with the classic Modigliani– Miller irrelevance theory, which proposes that capital structure decisions should have no effect on company value. Additional considerations of taxes, agency costs, and financial distress are introduced. The session concludes with discussion on dividend policies, factors affecting distribution or reinvestment, and dividend payout or share repurchase decisions.
