  • Irish Economy Note No. 13 “Did the ECB Cause a Run on Irish Banks
    Irish Economy Note No. 13 “Did the ECB Cause a Run on Irish Banks? Evidence from Disaggregated Data” Gary O’Callaghan Dubrovnik International University February 2011 www.irisheconomy.ie/Notes/IrishEconomyNote13.pdf Did the ECB Cause a Run on Irish Banks? Evidence from the Disaggregated Data. Gary O’Callaghan Dubrovnik International University February 2011 The paper closely examines events leading up to the Irish crisis of November 2010. It traces the effects of these events on both the onshore banking sector and on an offshore sector that is almost as large but is very different in terms of structure and commitment. Both sectors benefit from liquidity support by the European Central Bank (ECB) but the offshore sector does not benefit from a Government guarantee on deposits and securities and no bank in this category would expect to be recapitalised by the Irish Government in the event of its insolvency. Therefore, by examining the effects of certain events on deposits in each sector, one can distinguish between a crisis of confidence in monetary support (that would apply to both sectors) and an erosion of credibility in fiscal policy (that would apply to domestic banks only). The paper suggests that a systemic run on Irish banks was the proximate cause of the November crisis (even if a financing package might have been needed anyway) and that it probably resulted from public musings by ECB Council members on the need to curtail liquidity support to banks. An ECB commitment in May to support government bonds had undermined its ability to reign in monetary policy and left it searching for an exit.

  • ELA, Promissory Notes and All That: the Fiscal Costs of Anglo Irish Bank
    ELA, Promissory Notes and All That: The Fiscal Costs of Anglo Irish Bank Karl Whelan University College Dublin Revised Draft, September 2012 Abstract: This paper describes the cost to the Irish state of its bailout of the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC). The paper discusses the IBRC’s balance sheet, its ELA debts to the Central Bank of Ireland and the promissory notes provided to it by the Irish government to pay off its liabilities. Options for reducing these costs are discussed. 1. Introduction The Irish state has committed an extraordinary €64 billion—about 40 percent of GDP—towards bailing out its banking sector. €30 billion of this commitment has gone towards acquiring almost complete ownership of Allied Irish Banks and Irish Life and Permanent and partial ownership of Bank of Ireland. 1 It is possible that some fraction of this outlay may be recouped at some point in the future via sales of these shares to the private sector. In contrast, the remaining €35 billion that relates to Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC), the entity that has merged Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Nationwide Building Society, is almost all “dead money” that will never be returned to the state. Much of the commentary on Ireland’s bank bailout has focused on the idea that the Irish government should change its policy in relation to payment of unsecured IBRC bondholders. However, the amount of IBRC bondholders remaining is small when compared with the total cost of bailing out these institutions. Instead, the major debt burden due to the IBRC relates to promissory notes provided to it by the Irish government, which in turn are largely being used to pay off so-called Exceptional Liquidity Assistance (ELA) loans that have been provided by the Central Bank of Ireland.

  • Poslovne Prevare V Računovodskih Izkazih
    UNIVERZA NA PRIMORSKEM FAKULTETA ZA MANAGEMENT Zaključna projektna naloga POSLOVNE PREVARE V RAČUNOVODSKIH IZKAZIH Natalija Ploh Koper, 2012 Mentor: viš. pred. mag. Mateja Jerman POVZETEK V mednarodnih standardih revidiranja je prevara ali goljufija označena kot vsako nezakonito namerno dejanje, ki vpliva na prirejanje računovodskih izkazov. V računovodskih izkazih prihaja do nepravilnosti tudi zaradi nenamerno storjenih napak. Napaka in prevara se razlikujeta v namenu. Za odkrivanje napak in prevar ter za njihovo nadaljnje preprečevanje so odgovorni revizorji, ki s svojim strokovnim znanjem presojajo, ali računovodski izkazi odražajo pošteno in resnično sliko poslovanja podjetja, ter forenzični računovodje, ki ugotavljajo, ali podjetje posluje skladno s splošno sprejetimi računovodskimi standardi in zakoni. Pri svojem delu si revizorji in forenzični računovodje pomagajo z uporabo Benfordovega zakona, podatkovnim rudarjenjem, primerjalno analizo in drugimi računalniško podprtimi revizijskimi orodji. Kljub mnogim metodam preprečevanja prevar pa se pojavljajo številni finančni škandali, kot sta Anglo Irish banka in primer Olympus, ki z neustreznimi in pomanjkljivimi notranjimi nadzori, neupoštevanjem zakonov in nezakonitim prirejanjem računovodskih izkazov predstavljajo lažno sliko poslovanja podjetja. Ključne besede: napaka, prevara, revizor, forenzično računovodstvo, forenzični računovodja, računovodske prevare, Benfordov zakon.

  • THE IRISH BANKING CRISIS Arthur L
    REVIEW OF BUSINESS AND FINANCE STUDIES ♦ VOLUME 5 ♦ NUMBER 2 ♦ 2014 THE IRISH BANKING CRISIS Arthur L. Centonze, Pace University CASE DESCRIPTION The 2007 financial crisis led to a steep decline in the supply of capital to organizations around the world. As liquidity dried up, countries such as Ireland with fragile and overextended credit environments, overpriced asset markets, and accommodative regulatory systems were vulnerable to the resulting shock waves. This case explores Ireland’s economic and financial circumstances before and during the crisis, and its response to the crisis in the face of mounting pressure from the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the IMF for action that would help bring Ireland and other stressed euro zone countries back from the brink. At the close of 2010, Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan Jr. needed to decide whether to accept financial assistance from Europe and the IMF or have Ireland go it alone. The case has a difficulty level appropriate for masters’ level or upper level bachelors’ students in finance or economics. It is most effectively taught to students who have been exposed to macroeconomics and introductory finance. The case is designed to be taught in 1.5-2 class hours and should require 2-4 hours of outside preparation by students. JEL: E44, G01, G21 KEYWORDS: Financial Crisis, Property Bubble, Banking Crisis, Government Policy INTRODUCTION he US financial crisis that began in August 2007 led to a steep decline in the supply of capital to financial institutions and corporations around the world resulting in deteriorating economic T conditions on a global scale.
