  • Corporate Non-Financial Reporting in Germany
    Copyright © Development International e.V., 2019 ISBN: 978-3-9820398-1-7 Authors: Chris N. Bayer, PhD Gisella Vogel Sarah Kaltenhäuser Katherine Storrs Jiahua (Java) Xu, PhD Juan Ignacio Ibañez, LL.M. Title: A New Responsibility for Sustainability: Corporate Non-Financial Reporting in Germany Date published: May 6, 2019 Funded by: iPoint-systems gmbh www.ipoint-systems.com Executive Summary Germany's economy is the fourth-largest in the world (by nominal GDP), and with 28% of the euro area market, it represents the largest economy in Europe.1 Considering the supply chains leading to its economy, Germany's cumulative environmental, social and governance performance reverberates globally. The EU Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) is the impetus behind this study – a new regulation that seeks to “increase the relevance, consistency and comparability of information disclosed by certain large undertakings and groups across the Union.”2 Large undertakings in EU member states are not only required to report on their financial basics, now they are also required by Article 1 of the Directive to account for their non- financial footprint, including adverse impacts they have on the environment and supply chains. In accordance with the Directive, the German transposition stipulates that the non-financial declaration must state which reporting framework was used to create it (or explain why no framework was applied), as well as apply non-financial key performance indicators relevant to the particular business. These requirements are our point of departure: We systematically assess the degree of non-financial transparency and performance reporting for 2017 applying an ex-post assessment framework premised on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the German Sustainability Code (Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitskodex, DNK) and the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).

    German industrials spotlight Industrial machinery 15 May 2013 . Industrial machinery stocks are attracting EPS upgrades. Export growth and falling metal prices are positive for earnings. Analysts Graeme Kyle +44 (0)20 3077 5700 . We highlight three companies that may interest investors. Roger Johnston +44 (0)20 3077 5722 Grinding on [email protected] Click here to access industrials research We find it interesting that several industrial machinery stocks appear at the top of our rising revisions screen this month. Earnings in this sector are sensitive to the economic cycle, which appears at odds with weak macroeconomic data released in MDAX Industrials Index recent weeks. In particular, German GDP fell by -0.6% in Q412 and the Ifo business 210 expectations survey fell to 101.6 in April (vs 103.6 in March). In addition, GDP 190 170 growth in China slowed to +7.7% year-on-year in Q1 vs market expectations of 150 +8%. We believe there are other, more specific, factors at play including the 130 110 continued success of German global exports and the potential for gross margins 90 across the sector to expand as metal prices decline. On a wider scale, central 70 banks continue to provide ongoing liquidity and maintain interest rates at low levels; 50 Nov/09 Nov/10 Nov/11 Nov/12 Nov/08 this encourages capital flow into cheaper, riskier assets such as industrial May/08 May/09 May/10 May/11 May/12 May/13 machinery stocks. We identify three companies in this sector that screen well and Ifo Business Expectations should attract investors; Koenig & Bauer, KSB and Schaltbau.

  • Investigating Steinhoff International Holdings’ Results: Application of Integrated Financial Decision- Making Model and Lean Accounting Principles
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND FINANCE STUDIES Vol 10, No 1, 2018 ISSN: 1309-8055 (Online) INVESTIGATING STEINHOFF INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS’ RESULTS: APPLICATION OF INTEGRATED FINANCIAL DECISION- MAKING MODEL AND LEAN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES M.J. Swanepoel North-West University (Vaal Campus), South Africa E-mail: [email protected] ─Abstract ─ The business environment has changed drastically since the start of the new millennium. Over the years, owners of businesses have been sidelined from the daily operations of companies by managers and directors. This phenomenon is known as the agency theory whereby the managers and directors are driven, like shareholders and investors, by wealth creation, which sometimes culminates in greed. This greed usually ends with financial losses to the shareholders and investors. Investors use traditional financial decision-making models to determine the best investment possibilities. However, these models have failed shareholders and investors time and time again. Shareholders and investors are looking towards the accounting profession for answers. The integration of lean accounting principles in decision-making models could be a possible solution. The purpose of this study is to investigate if an integrated financial decision-making model, using lean accounting principles, could have provided the shareholders and investors of the ill-stricken Steinhoff International Holdings with results, which could have led to different decisions. A qualitative research approach using document analysis was employed in the study. The document analysis was deemed to be appropriate as it is a systematic procedure for the review and evaluation of documents. The annual financial statements of Steinhoff International Holdings for the five years ending 30 September 2016 were analysed and applied to the integrated financial decision- making model using lean accounting principles.

It is a holding Company for Steinhoff Investment Holdings Ltd (SA) which is also listed on the J.S.E. Four complaints (dockets), have been received together with a report in terms of Section 34 (1) of the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act of 2004 (PRECCA), relating to the Steinhoff matter. These investigations have since been combined into one criminal investigation, namely, Sandton CAS 612/08/2018. The allegations are that Steinhoff Investments Holdings Ltd (SA) has been submitting false, misleading and/or deceptive financial statements in order to attract investors, in contravention of the Financial Markets Act. Upon the allegations becoming known during December 2017, the value of the shares dropped significantly, resulting in substantial prejudice to the investors. Steinhoff reported the matter to DPCI in terms of Section 34 of PRECCA, and also appointed PWC to establish the extent of the financial irregularities.
