  • The Information Quality of Derivative Disclosures in Corporate Annual Reports of Australian Firms in the Extractive Industries
    THE INFORMATION QUALITY OF DERIVATIVE DISCLOSURES IN CORPORATE ANNUAL REPORTS OF AUSTRALIAN FIRMS IN THE EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIES Mohamat Sabri Hassan B.Ac (Hons.) (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia), M.Social Science (Southampton) A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy within the School of Accountancy at Queensland University of Technology 2004 Keywords: Disclosure quality; transparency; disclosure index; financial instruments; derivative instruments; market value; extractives industries. ii ABSTRACT Recent events in the business world have focused attention on the importance of high quality financial reporting. Of particular interest is where the collapse of prominent companies such as Baring Plc. was due to the company’s involvement with derivative instruments. In Australia, some derivative instruments are not recognised in the balance sheet. However, the Australian accounting standard AASB 1033 Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Instruments requires extensive disclosures to overcome the lack of guidance with regard to the recognition and measurement. Therefore, AASB 1033 may be regarded as a high quality disclosure standard. This thesis investigates the transparency or information quality of derivative disclosures of Australian firms in the extractive industries using 1998 to 2001 financial reports. The extractive industries play a major role in the Australian economy, where they generated exports worth more than A$30billion in 2000 to 2002 (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, 2003a and 2003b). Further, firms in the extractive industries extensively use derivative instruments for hedging purposes (Berkman, Bradbury, Hancock and Innes, 1997). The objective of this study is, first, to examine the relationship between the transparency or disclosure quality of derivative information and firm characteristics.

    2011-08 Reserve Bank of Australia RESEARCH DISCUSSION PAPER Th e Mining Industry: From Bust to Boom Ellis Connolly and David Orsmond RDP 2011-08 Reserve Bank of Australia Economic Research Department THE MINING INDUSTRY: FROM BUST TO BOOM Ellis Connolly and David Orsmond Research Discussion Paper 2011-08 December 2011 Economic Analysis Department Reserve Bank of Australia This paper was first presented at the Reserve Bank of Australia Conference on ‘The Australian Economy in the 2000s’ at the H.C. Coombs Centre for Financial Studies, Kirribilli, on 15–16 August 2011. We would like to thank our colleagues at the RBA and participants at the Conference for their helpful comments. The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Reserve Bank of Australia. Responsibility for any remaining errors rests with us. Authors: connollye and orsmondd at domain rba.gov.au Media Office: [email protected] Abstract The Australian mining industry experienced a remarkable turnaround during the 2000s. The rapid growth of emerging economies in Asia drove a surge in demand for commodities, particularly those used in steel and energy generation. With global supply unable to respond quickly, prices surged to historically high levels. In response, mining investment in Australia rose to record levels as a share of the economy by the end of the decade. The rise in commodity prices has boosted activity and incomes and encouraged the factors of production to shift towards the mining industry. The boom has also been associated with a large increase in the real exchange rate, affecting trade-exposed industries.
