  • Financial Reporting: Who Does What? FUTURE of AUDIT FINANCIAL REPORTING: WHO DOES WHAT?
    ICAEW THOUGHT LEADERSHIP FUTURE OF AUDIT Financial reporting: who does what? FUTURE OF AUDIT FINANCIAL REPORTING: WHO DOES WHAT? This publication explains in simple terms who does what in the financial reporting system for UK companies with full main market listings. It is intended to serve as background reading for our 2019/20 ‘The future of audit’ thought leadership essays. They, inter alia, are designed to inform the various inquiries relevant to audit and regulation in progress at the time of writing, including by Sir Donald Brydon, Sir John Kingman, the CMA and BEIS. We hope this background paper will help directors, politicians, investors and policymakers understand the complex relationships between boards, auditors, shareholders and others, and the regulatory regime within which those relationships operate. © ICAEW 2019 All rights reserved.

Financial statements: at the heart of the financial reporting system Financial reporting needs to improve, and everyone involved – preparers, auditors, audit committees, shareholders – needs to do more. This is no mere exhortation: all of these players are required by law, regulation and various codes to play an active part in ensuring that the financial statements, which sit at the heart of the system, pass the test required of them by law, which is that they give a ‘true and fair’ view.

  • The Promise of Platform Work: Understanding the Ecosystem
    Platform for Shaping the Future of the New Economy and Society The Promise of Platform Work: Understanding the Ecosystem January 2020 This white paper is produced by the World Economic Forum’s Platform for Shaping the Future of the New Economy and Society as part of its Promise of Platform Work project, which is working with digital work/services platforms to create strong principles for the quality of the work that they facilitate. It accompanies the Charter of Principles for Good Platform Work. Understanding of the platform economy has been held back by two key issues: lack of definitional clarity and lack of data. This white paper focuses on definitional issues, in line with the objectives of our Platform Work project. It maps the different categories of digital work/service platform and the business-model-specific and cross-cutting opportunities and challenges they pose for workers. It is designed to help policymakers and other stakeholders be more informed about such platforms and about the people using them to work; to support constructive and balanced debate; to aid the design of effective solutions; and to help established digital work/services platforms, labour organisations and others to build alliances. While this paper provides some data for illustrative purposes, providing deeper and more extensive data to close the gaps in the understanding of the platform economy is beyond the current scope of this project. We welcome multistakeholder collaboration between international organisations, national statistical agencies and digital work/services platforms to create new metrics on the size and distribution of the platform economy. This report has been published by the World Economic Forum.

  • 2021 Tech M&A Outlook: Internet of Things
    2021 Tech M&A Outlook: Internet of Things Analysts - Christian Renaud, Rich Karpinski, Katy Ring, Brian O’Rourke, Johan Vermij, Mark Fontecchio, Jonathan Stern Publication date: Thursday, February 18 2021 Introduction Semiconductor activity contributed to a strong year for IoT dealmaking in 2020, followed by a flurry of consolidation in the healthcare, transportation, manufacturing and wireless sectors. According to 451 Research's M&A KnowledgeBase, the total value of IoT acquisitions rose to nearly $69bn from $8bn in 2019. Transaction volume was down slightly to 125 prints from the 2019 record of 139 purchases. Even backing out the $33.5bn NVIDIA-Arm pairing, total deal value was over four times the prior year. M&A activity was concentrated in a small handful of verticals as businesses sought to digitize. Spurred by a global health crisis, healthcare technology-related transactions led in volume with 24 acquisitions totaling over $19bn, or 20% of all deals in the year. There was continued enthusiasm for the transportation sector, with 13 transactions in both commercial and consumer transportation totaling over $5.8bn, including four rather large LiDAR special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) deals. This transportation number does not include the acquisition in December of Uber's Advanced Technology Group by Aurora Innovation for a reported $4bn and is also not reflected in the $66bn in total IoT transactions. Healthcare and transportation were followed by manufacturing and industrial (13 prints, $5bn) and wireless-related firms (sensors and infrastructure), with 13 deals totaling $41m.

  • The Disclosure in the Annual Reports by the Listed Companies on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange
    International Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 6, No. 12; December 2015 The Disclosure in the Annual Reports by the Listed Companies on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange Vo Thi Thuy Trang Nha Trang Uinversity, Nha Trang Viet Nam Nguyen Cong Phuong College of Economics, Da Nang University Da Nang Viet Nam Abstract Purpose: This study aims to examine levels of the disclosure in the annual reports of the listed companies on the HOSE. Design/methodology/approach: This paper applies disclosure indexes to measure the amount information that is disclosure in the annual report of companies listed on HOSE in 2013. The disclosure index is designed basing on 94 disclosure items. Findings: The results show that the levels of the voluntary disclosure in the annual report by the listed companies is low, only at 23,9%. Research limitation: Information disclosure is an abstract concept and cannot be measured directly due to researchers’ subjective opinions. Originality/value: This research contributes to the literature by showing that although the existence of regulations and a monitoring system by regulatory authorities, voluntary disclosure by listed companies in a developing country such as Vietnam is low which influences company’s transparency. The results of this research provide useful information for the State agencies to review, modify and develop disclosure regulations in the future. The paper also can be used as an useful materials for teaching. Keywords: Voluntary Disclosure, Corporate Governance, Annual Report, listed companies 1. Introduction This paper aims to measure the level of information disclosure of the companies listed on the stock market of Vietnam.

The company was Sidecar, and the idea was simple: “We're going to replace your car with your iPhone,” Fortino explains. Sidecar did not lack competition. Around this time, the taxi industry was experimenting with new ways to make it easier for individuals to summon cars. And entrepreneurs, frustrated with wait times, imagined new ways to hire someone to drive them around. Multiple companies formed to solve this need, including one that is now considered a global powerhouse: Uber. By the time Sidecar went into beta testing in February 2012, Uber, or UberCab as it was originally known when it was founded in 2009, had raised at least $37.5 million at a $330 million post-money valuation, according to VentureBeat. Lyft followed shortly after when it went into beta in mid 2012, boasting more than $7 million in funding, according to TechCrunch's figures.

  • The Sharing Economy: Disrupting the Business and Legal Landscape
    THE SHARING ECONOMY: DISRUPTING THE BUSINESS AND LEGAL LANDSCAPE Panel 402 NAPABA Annual Conference Saturday, November 5, 2016 9:15 a.m. 1. Program Description Tech companies are revolutionizing the economy by creating marketplaces that connect individuals who “share” their services with consumers who want those services. This “sharing economy” is changing the way Americans rent housing (Airbnb), commute (Lyft, Uber), and contract for personal services (Thumbtack, Taskrabbit). For every billion-dollar unicorn, there are hundreds more startups hoping to become the “next big thing,” and APAs play a prominent role in this tech boom. As sharing economy companies disrupt traditional businesses, however, they face increasing regulatory and litigation challenges. Should on-demand workers be classified as independent contractors or employees? Should older regulations (e.g., rental laws, taxi ordinances) be applied to new technologies? What consumer and privacy protections can users expect with individuals offering their own services? Join us for a lively panel discussion with in-house counsel and law firm attorneys from the tech sector. 2. Panelists Albert Giang Shareholder, Caldwell Leslie & Proctor, PC Albert Giang is a Shareholder at the litigation boutique Caldwell Leslie & Proctor. His practice focuses on technology companies and startups, from advising clients on cutting-edge regulatory issues to defending them in class actions and complex commercial disputes. He is the rare litigator with in-house counsel experience: he has served two secondments with the in-house legal department at Lyft, the groundbreaking peer-to-peer ridesharing company, where he advised on a broad range of regulatory, compliance, and litigation issues.
