The Fair Value Debate - The Political Imperative - A Exercise in Futility?

November 19, 2009

Accounting Rules:Divided and Overruled | www.economist.com

Fair value has been in the news for sometime. Also banks are now complaining and so are regulators and politicians. The convergence issue and the impact of a far off standard setter not subject to local influence is having its effects on the debate. In this analysis I look at why fair value should not be influenced by those not well conversant with the subject. While I agree that accountants alone should not influence the debate yet the undue influence of politicians should be avoided.

October 8, 2009

The New Calculus of Offshoring | www.cfo.com

Increased  overseas costs, security dynamics and  the sudden availability of  newly jobless employees has changed the offshoring dynamics. Offshoring continues but the repetitive tasks with high risk and control difficulties are getting out of the offshoring matrix. In this analysis I look at  the effects of these changing dynamics in relation to auditing and control factors.

Central Bank Policy - Gold - Dollar - Accounting and the Gold Standard

October 8, 2009

Central Banks in Europe Hold Rates Steady | www.nytimes.com

The policy of Central Banks over the last year has left the  monetary system in a state of limbo. The value of the dollar in terms of  bullion and other commodities is taking a beating.  The increasing value of gold in currency terms reminds one of the days of the gold standard and the benefits of having gold as a store of  value. In this analysis I take a look at how this increasing value of gold may effect   internal controls and corporate financial policies.

September 15, 2009

For Obama, a Chance to Reform the Street is Fading | www.nytimes.com

The current recession is part of a business cycle. The reasons for the recession are several but then a trough after a long period of prosperity is to be expected. President Obama puts the blame on investment bankers and executives. There is also talk of legislation to limit further repeats. I wonder how this will impact accounting and in turn the figures on which financial decisions are made. In this analysis i present some of my thoughts on the subject..

The Impending Changing Capital Structure at Banks - Challanges for Accountants

September 7, 2009

G20 Calls for Better Capital Buffers at Banks | www.ft.com

The G20 meeting has agreed that banks need to be properly capitalized with equity instruments as compared to hybrid debt-equity. A number of other changes in the capitalization of banks is also proposed. This would mean that debt instruments with characteristics of equity would have a bleak future in the capital structure of banks. In this analysis I highlight some of  the issues involved in this conundrum.

Global Debt Situation - Fair Value - Financial Statements - Paradigms

September 6, 2009

US says debt Outlook Worsening | www.ft.com

The global economy is in a tailspin. Politicians and economists like us to believe otherwise amid  worsening job losses and a weakening US dollar. The graph of the USD vs. gold price shows the fall in value of the USD. This situation throws up questions for the auditor/CFO/accountant and others involved with financial statements. Analysts would  also need to evaluate the fair value of assets on financial statements in this evolving situation. In this analysis I look at some of  these questions.

August 25, 2009

Closing the Havens | www.ft.com

Tax havens have represented security against political repression for long. They have also with the evolution of  tax laws become a pain for Governments. This is especially with the growth of acceptability of  the right of the State to levy taxes. The recent developments with Tax Haven authorities agreeing to divulge confidential information raises questions for the accounting profession. In  this analysis I look at issues that these developments raise for the accounting and auditing profession.
