  • Enforcement and Cash Flow Management to Delay Goodwill
    Enforcement and Cash Flow Management to Delay Goodwill Impairments under IFRS Andrei Filip, ESSEC Business School [email protected] Gerald J. Lobo, University of Houston – Bauer College of Business [email protected] Luc Paugam,1 HEC Paris [email protected] Acknowledgements We gratefully acknowledge the helpful comments of Anastasios Elemes, Martin Glaum, Humayun Kabir (discussant), Alexander Müller, Katherine Schipper and of workshop participants at the following workshops: Concordia University, Bocconi University, WHU University, 2016 EUFIN conference (Fribourg, Switzerland), 2017 EAA meeting (Valencia, Spain), and International Accounting Section 2017 Midyear AAA meeting (Tampa, Florida). A previous version of the manuscript was circulated under the title “The Effect of Audit Quality and Enforcement of Accounting Standards on Goodwill Impairment Avoidance”. 1 Corresponding author 0 Enforcement and Cash Flow Management to Delay Goodwill Impairments under IFRS Abstract: Under IFRS, managers can use two approaches to increase the estimated recoverable value of a cash generating unit (CGU) to which goodwill has been allocated in order to justify not recognizing impairment: (1) make overly optimistic valuation assumptions (e.g., about discount rate, revenue growth, terminal growth rate), and (2) increase future cash flow estimates by increasing current cash flows. Because enforcement constrains the use of optimistic valuation assumptions we propose that the strength of enforcement influences the relative use of these two choices. Using an international sample of listed firms that report under IFRS, we document that the use of cash flow increasing management for firms that delay goodwill impairment is more positively associated with enforcement relative to a control sample that recognizes impairments. We also find that as enforcement increases, firms that delay goodwill impairment shorten the cash conversion cycle in the current year by delaying cash payments to suppliers, and that these transactions reverse in the next year.

  • Fundamental Analysis and Discounted Free Cash Flow Valuation of Stocks at Macedonian Stock Exchange
    Ivanovska, Nadica, Zoran Ivanovski, and Zoran Narasanov. 2014. Fundamental Analysis and Discounted Free Cash Flow Valuation of Stocks at Macedonian Stock Exchange. UTMS Journal of Economics 5 (1): 11–24. Preliminary communication (accepted February 24, 2014) FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS AND DISCOUNTED FREE CASH FLOW VALUATION OF STOCKS AT MACEDONIAN STOCK EXCHANGE Nadica Ivanovska1 Zoran Ivanovski Zoran Narasanov Abstract: We examine the valuation performance of Discounted Free Cash Flow Model (DFCF) at the Macedonian Stock Exchange (MSE) in order to determine if this model offer significant level of accuracy and relevancy for stock values determination. We find that stock values calculated with DCF model are very close to average market prices which suggests that market prices oscillate near their fundamental values. We can conclude that DFCF models are useful tools for the companies’ enterprise values calculation on long term. The analysis of our results derived from stock valuation with DFCF model as well as comparison with average market stock prices suggest that discounted cash flow model is relatively reliable valuation tool that have to be used for stocks analyses at MSE. Keywords: valuation, securities, free cash flow, equity, stock-exchange. Jel Classification: G1,G12 INTRODUCTION Valuation of an asset can be determined on three ways. First, as the intrinsic value of the asset, based on its capacity to generate cash flows in the future. Second, as a relative value, by examining how the market is pricing similar or comparable assets. Finally, we can value assets with cash flows that are contingent on the occurrence of a specific event as options (Damodaran 2006).

  • Over-Investment of Free Cash Flow
    Rev Acc Stud (2006) 11:159–189 DOI 10.1007/s11142-006-9012-1 Over-investment of free cash flow Scott Richardson Published online: 23 June 2006 Ó Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2006 Abstract This paper examines the extent of firm level over-investment of free cash flow. Using an accounting-based framework to measure over- investment and free cash flow, I find evidence that, consistent with agency cost explanations, over-investment is concentrated in firms with the highest levels of free cash flow. Further tests examine whether firms’ governance structures are associated with over-investment of free cash flow. The evidence suggests that certain governance structures, such as the presence of activist shareholders, appear to mitigate over-investment. Keywords Free cash flow Æ Over-investment Æ Agency costs JEL Classification G3 Æ M4 This paper examines firm investing decisions in the presence of free cash flow. In theory, firm level investment should not be related to internally generated cash flows (Modigliani & Miller, 1958). However, prior research has docu- mented a positive relation between investment expenditure and cash flow (e.g., Hubbard, 1998). There are two interpretations for this positive relation. First, the positive relation is a manifestation of an agency problem, where managers in firms with free cash flow engage in wasteful expenditure (e.g., Jensen 1986; Stulz 1990). When managers’ objectives differ from those of shareholders, the presence of internally generated cash flow in excess of that required to maintain existing assets in place and finance new positive NPV projects creates the potential for those funds to be squandered.

  • Glossary of Financial Terms
    GLOSSARY OF FINANCIAL TERMS Balance sheet The balance sheet sets out the assets and liabilities of a business and its net worth. Bottom line The closing cash balance, which then becomes the next month’s opening balance and provides the basis for comparison with the firm’s monthly cash-book total. Current assets Assets used or turned over within 12 months: cash in hand or at the bank, debtors and work in progress. Current liabilities Liabilities that need to be met regularly or within the current reporting year. They may include trade creditors, disbursements, bank overdrafts, lease or hire purchase payments and accrued expenses such as annual leave and insurance. Disbursements Client disbursements can be both an income and an expenditure component. Over a period these will be the same, apart from a small net outflow due to growth of the practice and increasing charges. Investing activities This category refers primarily to the cash flow of sales and purchases of assets relating to the business. An example of an inflow of revenue from an investing activity is the sale of an office, property or equipment. An outflow would be the purchase of such assets. Fees or income Cost basis when fees paid for legal services. Accruals when invoice raised for legal service. Financing activities This category relates to such things as the borrowing and repaying of loans, and returning investments to investors. Financial performance statement Also known as a profit and loss statement; shows all income and expense accounts over time while indicating profitability over the same period.

  • Accounting Adjustments on the Discounted Free Cash Flow Valuation Model for Appraising Smes in Greece
    Chinese Business Review, Oct. 2016, Vol. 15, No. 10, 498-506 doi: 10.17265/1537-1506/2016.10.006 D DAVID PUBLISHING Accounting Adjustments on the Discounted Free Cash Flow Valuation Model for Appraising SMEs in Greece Athanasios D. Karampouzis, Dimitrios Ginoglou University of Macedonia, Thessaloniki, Greece The present paper examines accounting issues that come up when evaluating a private firm under the Greek accounting standards. More specifically, we try to provide an accounting framework for appraisers who, when they try to retrieve intrinsic values of SMEs, make use of the Free Cash Flows to the Firm (FCFF) model. We focus on adjusting the firms’ statements’ items in order to produce a nominator that is consistent with the FCFF theory, taking in response—among others—the Greek tax legislation and the Greek General Chart of Accounts. Finally, we produce a rather normative formula, which can be positively used upon this very model (FCFF valuation) in order to assess the value of a private firm in Greece. The formula is explained thoroughly enough via a practical example of a real Greek private firm. Keywords: firm valuation, private firm, FCFF, taxation Introduction Valuation of a firm via discounted free cash flows to the firm is a common way to evaluate a non-public enterprise, because of the flexibility that offers. Free cash flows to the firm are cash flows available to the potential investor (especially in cases of mergers, acquisitions, audit etc.) after deduction—from net income—of investments in fix and working capital, after addition of net non-cash charges and after-tax interest charges.

  • Uva-F-1274 Methods of Valuation for Mergers And
    Graduate School of Business Administration UVA-F-1274 University of Virginia METHODS OF VALUATION FOR MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS This note addresses the methods used to value companies in a merger and acquisitions (M&A) setting. It provides a detailed description of the discounted cash flow (DCF) approach and reviews other methods of valuation, such as book value, liquidation value, replacement cost, market value, trading multiples of peer firms, and comparable transaction multiples. Discounted Cash Flow Method Overview The discounted cash flow approach in an M&A setting attempts to determine the value of the company (or ‘enterprise’) by computing the present value of cash flows over the life of the company.1 Since a corporation is assumed to have infinite life, the analysis is broken into two parts: a forecast period and a terminal value. In the forecast period, explicit forecasts of free cash flow must be developed that incorporate the economic benefits and costs of the transaction. Ideally, the forecast period should equate with the interval in which the firm enjoys a competitive advantage (i.e., the circumstances where expected returns exceed required returns.) For most circumstances a forecast period of five or ten years is used. The value of the company derived from free cash flows arising after the forecast period is captured by a terminal value. Terminal value is estimated in the last year of the forecast period and capitalizes the present value of all future cash flows beyond the forecast period. The terminal region cash flows are projected under a steady state assumption that the firm enjoys no opportunities for abnormal growth or that expected returns equal required returns in this interval.

ISBN 1-887-464-60-3 PREFACE The objective of the Public Sector Committee (PSC) of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) is to develop programs aimed at improving public sector financial management and accountability. To that end, the IFAC PSC issues Standards, Guidelines, Studies and Occasional Papers. Studies are undertaken by the Committee to provide information that contributes to public sector financial reporting, accounting or auditing knowledge, and to stimulate discussion. The objectives of government are determined by the political process, and cost accounting is one of a number of tools that may be used to achieve those objectives. Although in some situations cost accounting may not be as central to achieving a particular government’s objectives as it is generally for private sector entities, it nevertheless almost always provides important information to help improve the functions of government.
