  • Does Ownership Have an Effect on Accounting Quality?
    Master Degree Project in Accounting Does Ownership have an Effect on Accounting Quality? Andreas Danielsson and Jochem Groenenboom Supervisor: Jan Marton Master Degree Project No. 2013:14 Graduate School Abstract Research on accounting quality in banks has evolved around the manipulation of the Loan Loss Provision and has been discussed in terms of earnings management and income smoothing. Key variables used to explain the manipulation of Loan Loss Provisions have been investor protection, legal enforcement, financial structure and regulations. This study will extend previous research by investigating the effect of state, private, savings and cooperative ownership on accounting quality. In this study data from more than 600 major banks were collected in the European Economic Area, covering annual reports between 2005 and 2011. Similar to prevalent research, the Loan Loss Provision is used as a central indicator of accounting quality. In contrast to existent literature, accounting quality is not explained by the manipulation of the Loan Loss Provision in terms of income smoothing or earnings management. Instead, accounting quality is addressed in terms of validity and argued to be an outcome of the predictive power of the Loan Loss Provision in forecasting the actual outcome of credit losses. The findings of this study confirm that ownership has an effect on accounting quality. All but one form of ownership investigated showed significant differences. State ownership was found to have a positive effect on accounting quality, both in comparison to private banks and all other banks. On the other hand, savings ownership was shown to have a negative impact on accounting quality compared to private and other banks.

  • Triodos Bank Produces a Printed Version of the Annual Report
    T¬B Annual Report 2016 Triodos Bank produces a printed version of the Annual Report. We do this because some of our stakeholders want to read the report in this format and because we are legally required to provide the Annual Report as a discrete, single document. However, we have chosen to put more energy into producing the Annual Report online. The online Annual Report includes content that is not in this document; from films highlighting the extraordinary work of the sustainable enterprises we finance and an interview with our CEO, to an extended chapter about Triodos Bank’s impact. We believe the online Annual Report provides a more complete picture of our performance and our aspirations for the future, and many more people choose to view it than read the report in print. It has also allowed us to reduce the number of printed copies of the report we produce each year. However you choose to read or view the Annual Report, we hope it provides you with a rich picture of Triodos Bank’s values-based mission, strategy and impact in the wider world.

  • Press Release the Netherlands, Utrecht, 11 March 2021
    Press release The Netherlands, Utrecht, 11 March 2021 Jan van Rutte steps down early as Chairman of the Supervisory Board of de Volksbank De Volksbank announces that Jan van Rutte has decided to step down early as Chairman of the Supervisory Board of de Volksbank. He will stay on until a successor has been appointed. The Supervisory Board has started the search for a successor. Jan van Rutte has been a member of the Supervisory Board of SNS REAAL N.V. and SNS Bank N.V. (predecessor in title of de Volksbank) since 1 November 2013. On 1 October 2015, he was appointed Chairman of the Supervisory Board of de Volksbank and in April 2018, he was reappointed for a period of four years. Jan van Rutte: “De Volksbank is entering a new phase in its development. The solid financial position and strong social mission are a sound basis for the recently formulated strategy for the period 2021-2025, which is fully supported by the Supervisory Board. The proposals for a new senior management structure also came about in close consultation with the Supervisory Board. The bank went through a difficult period. The recently disclosed findings of the survey of the functioning of the Board of Directors and the interaction between the (members of) Board of Directors and the Supervisory Board confirm the unrest in the senior management of the bank over the past year. The researchers’ findings are critical and clear. I hold the Supervisory Board and myself as Chairman of the Supervisory Board accountable for this too. Measures have since been taken to help restore healthy board dynamics.
