会计准则的共同框架【外文翻译】

外文翻译原文：A Common Framework for Accounting StandardsIn September 2010,the U.S.Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) completed the first phase of a project that will influence global standards setting for many years to come.Specifically,the Boards converged key portions of their conceptual frameworks.This month’s column will explain what the Boards have done and the significance of their accomplishment.What’s a Conceptual Framework?A conceptu al framework for a set of accounting standards is an explicit declaration of the fundamental concepts on which the set of standards is based.The concepts addressed by conceptual frameworks tend to be general in nature,broad in scope,and stable over time.For example,a conceptual framework typically will identify the kinds of financial statements that reporting entities should prepare (balance sheet,income statement,etc.) and define the basic elements of those financial statements (assets,liabilities,income, expenses,etc.). Having a conceptual framework eliminates the need for a standards setter,such as the FASB or the IASB,to reestablish core concepts each time it develops or updates a standard.Additionally,by consistently referring to a stable conceptual framework,a standards setter is more likely to promulgate standards that are consistent with each other as well as with significant assumptions and constraints. The conceptual framework of U.S.Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is documented in a series of Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts (SFACs) issued by the FASB.The IASB has documented the conceptual framework of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in its Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements.Though similar in some respects,the two frameworks have always been separate and distinct from each other—until recently.As part of theirefforts to converge the specific standards that comprise U.S.GAAP and IFRS,the Boards have begun to converge their conceptual frameworks as well.The FASB-IASB Conceptual Framework ProjectIn October 2004,the FASB and the IASB added a joint conceptual framework project to their agendas.The objective of the project is “to develop an improved common conceptual framework that provides a sound accounting standards.”In other words,the Boards have been working together to replace their separate frameworks with a single framework on which both future U.S.GAAP and future IFRS will be based.Each Board is committed to making the single framework better than either one’s existing framework. The joint conceptual framework project consists of eight phases,designated “A”through “H”:A. Objective and qualitative characteristicsB. Elements and recognitionC. MeasurementD. Reporting entityE. Presentation and disclosure, including financial reporting boundariesF. Framework purpose and status in GAAP hierarchyG. Applicability to the not-for-profit sectorH. Remaining issuesIn July 2006,the FASB and the IASB issued a Preliminary Views (PV) document for Phase A that described the Boards’tentative thoughts on the overall objective of financial reporting and on the necessary and desirable qualitative characteristics of reported financial information.After further deliberations,the Boards issued an Exposure Draft (ED) for Phase A in May 2008 that proposed the first two chapters of a common conceptual framework.Final versions of those two chapters were subsequently issued by the Boards on September 28,2010.The FASB issued the two chapte rs together as SFAC No.8,“Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting—Chapter 1,The Objective of General Purpose Financial Reporting,and Chapter 3,Qualitative Characteristics of Useful Financial Information(a replacement of FASB Concepts Statements No.1 a nd No.2).”(SFACNo.1 was “Objectives of Financial Reporting by Business Enterprises,”and SFAC No.2 was “Qualitative Characteristics of Accounting Information.”)The Board had previously issued only seven SFACs in its 37-year history—none of them in the past 10 years.The infrequency of SFAC issuance reflects the high degree of stability in the FASB’s conceptual framework over time.But change happens,and the less frequently it happens,the more significant it is when it does happen.For its part,the IASB incorporated the two chapters into a revised version of its framework that it published as The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2010.Previously,the IASB hadn’t made a substantive revision to its framework since 2001. Again,that fact that conceptual frameworks don’t change frequently makes the recent changes by the FASB and the IASB all the more notable.The Objective of General Purpose Financial ReportingChapter 1 of the Boards’common conceptual framework focuses on the overall objective of financial reporting.As stated in SFAC No.8,“The objective of general purpose financial reporting is to provide financial information about the reporting entity that is useful to existing and potential investors, lenders,and other creditors in making decisions about providing resources to the entity.”This is broadly consistent with the FASB’s prior objective as stated in SFAC No.1:“Financial reporting should provide information that is useful to present and potential investors and creditors and other users in making rational investment,credit,and similar decisions.”The newly defined objective is also similar to the IASB’s prior objective of“provid[ing] information about the financial position,performance,and changes in financial position of an entity that is useful to a wide range of users in making economic decisions.”The aspect of the new converged objective that differs most from each Board’s previous objective is the emphasis on “general purpose”financial reporting.Both Boards currently view their standards-setting efforts as directed at the needs of financial-statement users who aren’t in a position to obtain specific information tailored to each user’s individual needs.Qualitative Characteristics of Useful Financial InformationThe FASB and the IASB decided that the second chapter they issued recently willactually be Chapter 3 of their common conceptual framework.The Boards have reserved Chapter 2 for the output of Phase D (the reporting entity phase) of the conceptual framework project.Most of us think of the information in financial statements as being primarily quantitative in nature.But the FASB and the IASB have long recognized that there are certain qualitative characteristics of financial information that affect its usefulness—specifically,how useful it is for making the kinds of economic decisions that users of financial statements make.Accordingly,the Boards have identified such qualitative characteristics in Chapter 3.As outlined above, there are in principle two distinct components to these payments, which are the transaction value at the point of purchase (which is the cost of the resource consumed) and the difference between this value and the actual settlement amount (which is a cost of finance). Yet, in practice, this distinction is rarely made, and the supplier's credit terms are typically rolled up into a single amount. While it would be possible for accounting standards to require the separate calculation of all financing expenses, the current absence of such a requirement means that an entity's operating profit includes suppliers' retum on finance. For the sake of consistency between the income statement and the balance sheet, accounts payable should therefore also be classified as operating. If they were not, measures of retum on capital employed would be artificially low. Conceptually, if financing activity is defined by nature, classifying accounts payable as operating would be the wrong answer, but practically it would at least be intemally consistent.It would not be the wrong answer, however, according to a fianctional perspective on financing activity. Indeed, the absence of a separately reported financing expense can be viewed as evidence that the underlying fiinction is not financing. The case for the functional perspective is stronger still if standard-setters also seek to achieve consistency with the cash flow statement. Consider, for example, an asset retirement obligation. The liability is by nature a source of finance, which results fi-om an operating expense and which increases as financing expenses (interest costs) are incurred. The cash settlement of the liability does not distinguish, however, between the operating andfinancing components of the liability: there is not an operating cash flow separate fi-om a financing cash flow.These concems over measurement reliability might suggest that the gain or loss from revised cash flow estimates should be reported as operating, yet the same would not be tme for a gain or loss from revisions to expected discount rates, which are the capitalised counterpart of the current period's interest costs and so are not candidates for inclusion in operating profit.The Boards have deemed relevance and faithful representation to be the fundamental qualitative characteristics of useful financial information.This reflects the Boards’belief that financial information must exhibit those characteristics in order to be useful for making decisions.Additionally,the Boards have identified comparability,verifiability,timeliness,and understandability as qualitative characteristics that enhance the usefulness of financial information.Such characteristics complement the fundamental characteristics and enhance decision-usefulness when they are present.In short,they are “nice to have”characteristics rather than “must have”ones.(As a matter of personal opinion,I find it somewhat disturbing that the Boards don’t consider understandability to be “fundamental.”)In addition to fundamental and enhancing qualitative characteristics,the Boards have also identified a pervasive constraint:cost. They clearly recognize that if the costs of applying a particular accounting standard would exceed the benefits of doing so,then it makes no sense to impose such a standard on reporting entities.The fundamental characteristics, enhancing characteristics,and pervasive constraint that the Boards have mutually identified represent a blending of concepts that were, for the most part,already present in their prior conceptual frameworks.The earlier frameworks of U.S.GAAP and IFRS,however,differed from each other with regard to relative priorities among the characteristics and the wording used to describe them.A less straightforward case arises if there is a loan of resource but the counterparty is not a bank or other financial institution. Would this change the initial observation regarding the nature of financing activity? A case that can be applied here is a pension obligation, for which the counterparty is employees rather than a bank. Adefined benefit pension plan involves the entity deferring settlement of an amount equal to the service cost, incurring interest costs thereon and then repaying the amount owed in the form of a pension. In principle, employees could accept immediate settlement of services rendered instead of entering a pension agreement, and an entity could achieve this immediate settlement by borrowing, with the net effect that the entity substitutes a bank loan for a pension obligation. Either way, the existence of the liability is associated with fiiture interest costs and repayment of capital, and there is a clear distinction between the expenses relating to operating activity (i.e. the service cost that gives rise to the liability) and the method by which these expenses are financed (either by employees or by the bank). A similar argument can also be made for cases other than pension obligations, such as provisions for deferred tax, where the counterparty providing finance (i.e. accepting deferred settlement) is the govemment. For some other provisions, such as those for asset retirement obligations, a clearly identifiable counterparty might be absent: an entity's current operating activity gives rise to a current obligation to incur future cash outflows, but payment will eventually be made to an entity that is not yet known. The absence of a current counterparty does not, however, change the conclusion that the entity's operating activity is being financed by means of deferred settlement. Interest costs are recognised purely as a consequence of this deferral, and not as a consequence of further operating activity, and the situation is no different in substance from a bank loan: the carrying amount of the provision equals the amount that the entity would need to borrow in order to settle its obligation, and the unwinding of the discount rate is equal to the interest costs that would be incurred on the amount borrowed.What Now?Because the conceptual framework of U.S.GAAP isn’t itself authoritative,the recent revisions to it don’t change authoritative U.S.GAAP as documented in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification(TM).The revisions do change authoritative IFRS,however,because the conceptual framework of IFRS is considered authoritative. Chapter 2 of the common conceptual framework is due to be released by the end of 2010.As noted previously,it will address the concept of the reporting entity (PhaseD).The Boards are also currently working on Phases B (Elements and Recognition) and C (Measurement).Although the conceptual framework project is currently being conducted in parallel with numerous standard-level projects,its successful completion will be essential to the ultimate success of all of the Boards’convergence efforts.As I say in the Convergence Guidebook for Corporate Financial Reporting (Wiley),“If different standard setters disagree on the basic concepts of financial reporting,then it is unlikely that those standard setters will ever agree on specific standards.”Now that the FASB and the IASB have agreed on some portions of a common conceptual framework,we see that the Boards are indeed capable of converging their standards at the conceptual level and are intent on achieving even more conceptual convergence in the years ahead.Source: Pounder, Bruce.

环境会计【外文翻译】

外文出处Business & Economic Review,2006（4）:21-27外文作者布莱恩.斯坦科，艾琳.布罗根,艾琳,亚历山大,约瑟芬.蔡.梅齐原文：Environmental AccountingHere's why projected cleanup costs from hazardous waste sites will be findingtheir way onto the balance sheets of Corporate America.Monitoring the production and disposal of hazardous waste has been a top priority of the United States government and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since the mid-1970s, largely as a result of the Love Canal environmental disaster. Unfortunately, the remediation of hazardous waste sites is not finished, and cleanup cost estimates range anywhere between $500 billion and $1 trillion. American corporations will ultimately be held accountable for these costs. What remains to be seen, however, is exactly who, when, and how much.In terms of corporate responsibilities, this article discusses requirements regarding the financial reporting of environmental liabilities and current initiativesthat should improve the measurement and disclosure of these liabilities. Investors and business professionals alike must understand the significance of these obligations asthey relate to current and future corporate financial statements.Financial ReportingFinancial reporting requirements have evolved over time under several governing bodies. The Securities Act of 1934 created the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and gave it the authority to administer federal securities laws and prescribe accounting principles and reporting practices. Companies that are considered under the jurisdiction of the SEC include any company whose stock is publicly traded. As a result, these companies are required to follow SEC disclosure requirements in their filings.The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is responsible for establishing the current standards of financial accounting and reporting. The standardsor pronouncements that the FASB issues, "Statements of Financial Accounting Standards" (SFASs), are officially recognized as authoritative by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the national professional organization of CPAs.Until recently, the AICPA played a prominent role in the accounting and reporting environment. But as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the AlCPA's Auditing Standards Board (ASB) was limited in its role of establishing Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. Auditing and related professional practice standards as they pertain to public companies are now established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), a private-sector, nonprofit corporation created to oversee the auditors of public companies in order to protect the interests of investors and further the public interest in the preparation of informative, fair, and independent audit reports.Evolution of Environmental Accounting StandardsThe common definition of "environmental accounting" is "the identification, measurement, and allocation of environmental costs, the integration of these environmental costs into business decisions, and the subsequent communication of the information to a company's stakeholders" (AICPA).Typical environmental costs include off-site waste disposal costs, cleanup costs, litigation costs, and other related costs.The first accounting standards or interpretation of standards that could be applied to environmental liabilities were enacted by the FASB in 1975 and 1976. These rules covered a generic grouping of contingent liabilities (including environmental liabilities). Initially the FASB stated that contingent liabilities arising from environmental cleanup costs should be accounted for and disclosed according to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies" (FASB 1975). One year later, the FASB issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 14, "Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss" (FASB 1976), offering additional guidance regarding loss contingencies. Essentially, the standard required losses to be accrued for when they became "probable and reasonably estimable."SFAS No. 5 is still followed today by accountants who are considering the measurement and disclosure of environmental liabilities.SuperfundPrior to Congress passing legislation granting the EPA authority to identify and sanction Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs), most reported environmental liabilities were minimal. That changed in 1980 when Congress passed the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), commonly known as the Superfund Act. CERCLA established strict regulatory requirements regarding the release of hazardous substances from existing or future waste sites.Six years later, Congress amended CERCLA with the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act (SARA).This strengthened the EPA’s authority and increased the agency’s fund balance. Under the new Superfund Act, the EPA became responsible for identifying and listing those locations throughout the United States where hazardous substances or waste either have caused or may cause damage to the environment. The EPA, through administrative or legal action, seeks to require PRPs to accept responsibility for the remediation of contaminated sites.Under CERCLA, a PRP is defined as any individual or company that is potentially responsible for, or contributed to, the contamination problems at a Superfund site. According to Paul D. Hutchinson, this can include:• Current owners or operators of facilities where hazardous substances have been deposited• Owners or operators of facilities at the time hazardous substances were deposited• Generators of hazardous substances deposited at facilities• Transporters of hazardous substances to facilities• Per sons who arranged for disposal or treatment of hazardous substances at facilitiesOnce the EPA identifies a PRP, a liability-based program is used to address the cleanup of the site. Under the liability-based program, a potentially responsible partyis classified into one of three categories:• Strict Liability - the PRP is liable for cleanup costs even when there was no negligence• Joint and Several Liability – any one party can be forced to bear the full cost of the remedy, even if several parties contributed to the waste at a site• Retroactive Liability - the provisions apply to actions that took place before CERCLA was passedAfter the EPA identifies the PRPs and their respective liability, it sends notification to the SEC and the respective companies or individuals.Regulation S-K and FRR 36With the increased environmental regulation, the accounting regulatory bodies began to issue standards regarding the reporting and disclosure of environmental liabilities. In 1982, the SEC integrated all of its environmental disclosure requirements into Regulation S-K, requiring disclosure if pollution expenditures had a material effect on the company's earnings. Regulation S-K Item 101, known as the Description of Business, requires registrants to disclose, among other things, the material effects of complying or failing to comply with environmental requirements on the capital expenditures, earnings, and competitive position of the registrant and its subsidiaries. S-K Item 103 requires registrants to describe any material concerning pending legal proceedings unless the legal proceedings involve ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business. S-K Item 303, often referred to as Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, requires the disclosure of environmental contingencies that may reasonably have a material impact on net sales, revenue, or income from continuing operations.In 1989, the SEC provided further guidance by issuing Financial Reporting Release (FRR) 36. FRR 36 discusses and illustrates various disclosure requirements for the Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) component of the SEC annual report 10-K filing and the shareholder annual report.Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 92Even with this increase in regulation, companies were still finding it difficult toestimate liabilities that needed to be disclosed. In response, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No.92 (SAB 92) to further clarify its disclosure requirements. SAB 92 specifically discussed the disclosure of environmental liabilities in the balance sheet. The SEC's position on the disclosure of environmental liabilities was strengthened through an agreement with the EPA in 1990. Essentially, the EPA would provide the SEC with certain quarterly information, including names of PRPs, a list of all cases filed under CERCLA, and a list of civil and criminal cases under federal environmental laws. In exchange for this information, the SEC agreed to target the enforcement of environmental disclosures.AICPA Statement of Position 96-1By 1996, the EPA had identified more than 36,000 hazardous waste sites in the United States. The EPA then took what they considered to be the most severe of the contaminated sites and developed the National Priorities List (NPL). This list contained 1,405 sites, each referred to as a Superfund site. From these Superfund sites alone, the EPA proceeded to identify 15,000 PRPs connected to these sites. These PRPs would eventually be responsible for cleanup costs that would range from $35 million to $1 billion per site. The release of this information revealed to the accounting profession that the remedial liabilities of the PRPs were significant and, therefore, required better accounting and disclosure. As a result, the AICPA issued Statement of Position (SOP) 96-1, "Environmental Remediation Liabilities," which provided specific guidance on estimation and the financial reporting of environmental accruals and contingencies.Analysis of the Standards (Past and Present)(A) Recognition of Environmental LiabilitiesRecognition pertains to when a liability should be reported in the financial statements. Contingent liabilities are obligations that are dependent upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more future events to confirm the amount payable, the payee, the date payable or its existence. The most significant liability that a firm faces in relation to environmental accounting comprises the remediation costs. Remediation costs typically include cleanup costs, litigation costs, and other costsassociated with legal compliance.FAS No. 5，mentioned earlier，requires that a provision for a loss contingency be recorded and a liability recognized in financial statements when both of the following conditions are met:• It is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements• The amount of the loss can be reasonably estimatedFASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 14 provides additional guidance on how to recognize a loss contingency when the estimated loss is within a specified range. It recommends that the minimum amount of the range be accrued, unless some amount within the range appears at the time to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range.The AICPA SOP 96-1 expands the types of costs that may be appropriately accrued and the ability to consider technologies under development in order to help assess the ultimate cost of remediation efforts more accurately. PRPs must now use a more conservative approach (increase the probability of loss recognition) than under the prior provisions of SFAS No. 5 to ascertain if they should accrue such liabilities. According to the SOP 96-1, the probability criterion of SFAS No. 5 is met if the EPA has decided (or probably will) that the company must participate in remediation. Liabilities must now be recognized when litigation has commenced or an assertion of a claim is probable whenever the PRP is associated with that site. In addition, PRPs must now accrue potential environmental remediation liabilities "up front," all at once, rather than recognize the expenses when they are actually paid.(B) Accounting for Recognized Environmental LiabilitiesWhen a company has determined that an environmental obligation exists, it must be measured and accounted for based on available information. Key accounting issues related to the recognition of environmental liabilities are highlighted below: Estimates of the Environmental LiabilityAccording to AlCPA's SOP 96-1, once a liability is determined, its magnitude must be estimated. In developing the estimates, according to Kathleen BlackburnHethcox, Richard Riley, and Jan R. Williams writing in National Public Accountant, the factors below should be considered:• The extent and type of haz ardous substances at the site, and the costs to be included in the estimate• The effect of expected future events or developments• The range of technologies that can be used in remediation• The number and financial condition of other PRPs• The effect o f potential recoveriesEarly estimates of loss can be revised later if new information gives cause for a change. The revisions should be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate, thereby only affecting current and future financial reporting. No retroactive restatement of prior year financial statements is allowed under SOP 96-1. The SOP 96-1 also recommends that for various stages of remediation, benchmarks be used to evaluate the extent of the amount that can be estimated. At a minimum, the estimate should be evaluated as each benchmark occurs; which includes identification of the company as a PRP, receipt of a unilateral administrative order requiring a removal action, participation in a remedial investigation (Rl) or feasibility study (FS) as a PRP, completion of a feasibility study, and issuance of a record of decision.Source: Brian B Stanko, Erin Brogan, Erin Alexander, and Josephine Choy-Mee Chay.Environmental Accounting[J].

外文资料Why credit risk occur? And how to deal with it? Adverse selection in loan markets occurs because bad credit risks(those most likely to default on their loans) are the ones who usually line up for loans ; in other words, those who are most likely to produce an adverse outcome are the most likely to be selected. Borrowers with very risky investment projects have much to gain if their projects are successful; and so they are the most eager to obtain loans. Clearly ，however, they are the least desirable borrowers because of the greater possibility that they will be unable to pay back their loans.Moral hazard exists in loan markers because borrowers may have incentives to engage in activities that are undesirable from the lender’s point of view. In suc h situations, it is more likely that the lender will be subjected to the hazard of default. Once borrowers have obtained a loan, they are more likely to invest in high-risk investment projects-projects that pay high returns to the borrowers if successful. The high risk, however, makes it less likely that they will be able to pay the loan back.To be profitable, financial institutions must overcome the adverse selection and moral hazard problems that make loan defaults more likely. The attempts of financial institutions to solve these problems help explain a number of principles for managing credit risk: screening and monitoring, establishment of long-term customer relationships, loan commitments, collateral, compensating balance requirement, and credit rationing.Screening and monitoringAsymmetric information is present in loan markets because lenders have less information about the investment opportunities and activities of borrowers than borrowers do. This situation leads to two information-producing activities by banks and other financial institutions, screening and monitoring. Indeed , Walter Wriston, a former head of Citicorp, the largest bank corporation in the United States, was often quoted as stating that the business of banking is the production of information.Screening . Adverse selection in loan markets requires that lenders screen out the bad credit risks from the good ones so that loans are profitable to them. To accomplish effective screening, lenders must collect reliable information from prospective borrowers. Effective screening and information collection together form an important principle of credit risk management.Specialization in lending. One puzzling feature of bank lending is that a bank often specializes in lending to local firms or to firms in particular industries, such as energy. In one sense, this behavior seems surprising because it means that the bank is not diversifying its portfolio of loans and thus is exposing itself to more risk. But from another perspective such specialization makes perfect sense. The adverse selection problem requires that the bank screen out bad credit risks. It is easier for the bank to collect information about local firms and determine their creditworthiness than to collect comparable information on firms that re far away. Similarly, by concentrating its lending on firms in specific industries, the bank becomes more knowledgeable about these industries and is therefore better able to predict which firms will be able to make timely payments on their debt.Monitoring and Enforcement of Restrictive Covenants. Once a loan has been made, the borrower has an incentive to engage in risky activities that make it less likely that the loan will be paid off. To reduce this moral hazard, financial institutions must adhere to the principle for managing credit risk that a lender should write provisions (restrictive covenants) into loan contracts that restrict borrowers from engaging in risky activities. By monitoring borrowers’ activities to see whether they are complying with the restrictive covenants and by enforcing the covenants if they are not, lenders can make sure that borrowers are not taking risks at their expense. The need for banks and other financial institutions to engage in screening and monitoring explains why they spend so much money on auditing and information-collecting activities.Long-term customer relationshipsAn additional way for banks and other financial institutions to obtain information about their borrowers is through long-term customer relationships, another important principle of credit risk management.If a prospective borrower has had a checking or savings account or other loans with a band over a long period of time, a loan officer can look at past activity on the accounts and learn quite a bit about the borrower. The balances in the checking and savings accounts tell the banker how liquid the potential borrower is and at what time of year the borrower has a strong need for cash. A review of the checks the borrower has written reveals the borrower’s suppliers. If the borrower has borrowed previously from the bank, the bank has record of the loan payments. Thus long-term customer relationships reduce the costs of information collection and make it easier to screen out bad credit risks.The need for monitoring by lenders adds to the importance of long-term customer relationships. If the borrower has borrowed from the bank before, the bank has already established procedures for monitoring that customer. Therefore, the costs of monitoring long-term customers are lower than those for new customers.Long-term relationships benefit the customers as well as the bank. A firm with a previous relationship will find it easier to obtain a loan at a low interest rte because the bank has an easier time determining if the prospective borrower is good credit risk and incurs fewer costs in monitoring the borrower.A long-term customer relationship has another advantage for the bank. No bank can think of every contingency when it writes a restrictive covenant into a loan contract; there will always be risky borrower activities that are not ruled out. However, what if a borrower wants to preserve a ling-term relationship with a bank because it will be easier to get future loans at low interest rates? The borrower then has the incentive to avoid risky activities that would upset the bank, even if restrictions on these risky activities are not specified in the loan contract. Indeed, if a bank doesn’t violating any restrictive covenants, it has some power to discourage the borrower from such activity: the bank can threaten not to let the borrower have new loans in the future. Long-term customer relationships therefore enable banks to deal with even unanticipated moral hazard contingencies.The advantages of establishing long-term customer relationships suggest that closer ties between corporations and banks might be beneficial to both. One way to create these ties is for banks to hold equity stakes in companies they lend to and for banks to have embers on the boards of directors of these companies.Loan commitmentsBanks also create long-term relationships and gather information by issuing loan commitment to commercial customers. A loan commitments a bank’s commitment (for a specified future period of time) to provide a firm with loans up to a given a mount at an interest rate that is tied to some market interest rate. The majority of commercial and industrial loans are made under the loan commitment arrangement. The advantage for the firm is that it has a source of credit when it needs it. The advantage for the bank is that the loan commitment promotes a long-term relationship, which in turn facilitates information collection. In addition, provisions in the loan commitment agreement require that the firm continually supply the bank with information about the firm’s income, asset and liability position, business activities,and so on. A loan commitment arrangement is a powerful method for reducing the bank’s costs for screening and information collection.<<China City Commercial Bank Report,2008>>tells us: China’s city commercial banks, as the last institutions emerging in China’s commercial banking system, were founded in 1995 through shareholding reform of the former urban credit cooperatives. They are regarded as “the third echelon” in China’s banking system.In 2007, China accelerated the pace of initial public offerings of its city commercial banks. On July 19th 2007, Bank of Nanjing went public in Shanghai Stock Exchange, becoming the first urban commercial bank stock in Shanghai Stock Exchange. Bank of Nanjing with a registered capital of CNY1.207 billion is the third urban commercial bank that has set up branches in other cities, after the Bank of Beijing and Bank of Shanghai. Besides Bank of Nanjing, Bank of Ningbo also had its IPO on the same day in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.Bank of Beijing (601169) had its IPO in the Shanghai Stock Exchange on Sep. 19th 2007. The Bank of Beijing opened at 23 yuan per share in its market debut, up 84% from its IPO prices of 12.5 yuan. The bank issued 1.2 billion A shares in all, among which, 900 million shares were issued on-line. The bank’s shares were chased by the market and a total of CNY1.9 trillion was frozen for subscription.Furthermore, Bank of Hangzhou, Bank of Chongqing, and Bank of Tianjin have all expressed their intention to go public clearly. It is inevitable that more China’s urban commercial banks will be listed on the stock market in 2008.China Banking Regulatory Commission requires that domestic city commercial banks should be of a basic rudiment of a modern financial company in 2008. The basic rudiment should cover the following seven aspects: firstly, non-performing loan should remain at about 5%; secondly, capital adequacy ratio should be above 8%; thirdly, NPL provision coverage rate should reach 100%; fourthly, profit shouldcontinue to grow; fifthly, all information should be fully disclosed; sixthly, the ability to prevent market risk and operational risk should be further enhanced; seventhly, operation features, operation mechanism, corporate management, corporate culture and quality of employees should also be further improved. All city commercial banks have made great efforts to meet the above requirements and their efforts are finally paid off, according to our in-depth analysis in this report on operation conditions and performance of 75 city commercial banks in China.中文译文信用风险的成因及该如何应对？在信贷市场上所以发生逆向选择问题，是因为高信贷风险者（那些最有可能在贷款上违约的人们）常常就是那些排着队申请贷款的人。

通货膨胀会计外文资料翻译 (2)

毕业设计(论文)外文资料翻译题目:Inflation Accounting附件： 1.外文资料翻译译文；2.外文原文。

附件1：外文资料翻译译文通货膨胀会计自从我们开始认识我们周遭的事物, 我们常常从我们的祖父母那里听到关于他们那个时代的东西,尤其是黄金和酥油是非常便宜的.那时我们常常想为什么他们的那个时代的东西非常便宜,而我们的这个时代的东西开始变得昂贵. 因此, 这个问题使我们感到困惑.但是现在, 随着我们的知识的增加和认识, 我们已经知道了通货膨胀这中现象, 用一种外行的理解是国家定价的增长或货币的贬值是已知背后的最大的原因.现在出现的问题究竟是不是通货膨胀?在当今世界, 通货膨胀是一个全球性的现象. 在资本主义世界的今天,几乎没有任何国家不受通货膨胀幽灵般的困扰.不同的经济学家用不同的词语定义通货膨胀, Prof.Crowther 定义的通货膨胀是“随着国家币值的下降, 或者是价格的上涨.” Prof.Paul Einzig 说“通货膨胀是一个不平衡的状态,总体表现是购买力扩张的原因或者是价格水平增长的影响.”两个定义都强调了物价上涨.通货膨胀的最基本的因素不是需求的增加就是供应的减少.通货膨胀对企业的影响通货膨胀对企业的影响可以分为两部分理解1.影响成本和收益2.影响资产和负债至于通货膨胀对成本和收益的影响是忧虑的, 肯定的, 两者都将上升. 但是他们的结果是否表现出超常的利润是被公司旧的价格的可用的期初存货的多少和被公司受理的工资的需求的多少决定的.在货币资产和负债中, 一个公司将失去被债权人和取得在真实项目中的被债务人.如果我们说其他的资产如建筑物, 土地和其他证券, 则公司将在货币方面有持有收益,但是在实质情况中还是有一定的影响, 因此,在价格方面的增长是一方面, 货币币值的下降是另一方面.通货膨胀会计及其意义通货膨胀影响产出和资产价格上涨的形式. 因为财务会计通常是以历史成本为记帐原则, 因此他们不考虑资产和产出价格上涨的影响. 这样的结果很可能会导致利润上的虚增, 资产价格的低估以及误导企业的决策.因此, 在以历史成本为记帐原则编制的财务报表通常被证明是历史事实的一种陈述, 并不能反映企业当前的商业价值. 这就剥夺了如管理者, 股东以及债权人等的报表使用者去获取正确的财务信息从而做出正确的经营决策的权力.因此,这就导致了对通货膨胀会计的需要. 通货膨胀会计是一个会计制度范围的术语描述, 设计并去纠正当通货膨胀存在时历史成本会计产生的上升的问题.通货膨胀会计的意义是从固有的历史成本会计制度的限制中产生的.以下是历史成本会计的局限性:1.历史成本会计不考虑, 因受通货膨胀影响, 从资产的货币价值上升产生的未实现的持有性收益.2.折旧费用的目标是在资产的使用寿命期间摊销其成本, 并在将来为其更换储备. 但是, 他并没有考虑到受通货膨胀影响的结果可能导致折旧费用不足的替换成本.3.根据历史成本会计, 以旧的价格获得的存货实现的收益是按当年的价格计算的. 在通货膨胀期间, 由于持有收益和经营收益的最大化, 可能导致利润上的虚增.4.从历史收益上,不容易去预测未来盈利.通货膨胀会计的历史在过去的几年中, 通货膨胀会计已经被作为一种补充运用在英国和美国的财务报表中, 关于在通货膨胀期间调整财务账目的方法已经争论了50多年的时间.早在1900年代初, 美国和英国的会计师就以经讨论过通货膨胀对财务报表的影响, 开始于指标的数据理论和购买力. Irving Fisher 在1911年出版的书《The Purchasing Power of Money》被Henry W.Sweeney 在1936年出版的关于恒定购买力会计的书中《Stabilized Accounting》作为起源. Sweeney的这一模型通过美国注册会计师协会为他们的研究性学习(ARS6)报告《the Financial Effects of Price-Level Changes》所应用, 后来又被应用到会计准则委员会(美国), 金融标准委员会(美国),会计标准指导委员会(英国). Sweeney主张用涵盖在国民生产总值之上的价格指标.在1979年3月,美国财务会计准则委员会(FASB)写了恒定美元会计, 当中主张使用消费价格指数为所有的城市消费者(CPI-U)去调整帐目, 因为其可在每月计算一次.在大萧条期间, 一些公司重述他们的财务报表, 以反映通货膨胀. 在过去50年的时间里, 标准制定组织应经鼓励企业用价格水平调整的方法去补充以成本为基础的财务报表. 在20世纪70年代的高通货膨胀时期, 当美国证券交易委员会(SEC)发行ASR190时, 财务会计准则委员会(FASB)正在审查关于价格水平调整报表的草案, 这需要美国大约1000家最大的公司提供基于替换成本的补充信息. 财务会计准则委员会撤回了草案.然而为了迎合通货膨胀会计的需要, 国际会计准则委员会(IASB)推出了世界闻名的会计准则IAS29.通货膨胀会计的方法为了衡量通货膨胀对财务报表的影响,使用的技术如下:当前购买力法(CPP)根据这一价格变动调整帐目的方法, 在财务报表中所有的项目都被重述在一个固定的货币单位的项目里, 也即一般购买力.为了衡量价格水平的变化, 并用一般物价指数把这一变化纳入到财务报表当中去, 这就意味着我们的目标很可能是一个晴雨表. 该指数被用于转换在资产负债表和利润表中各个项目的价值. 这个方法考虑了账户一般货币购买力的变化以及忽略了给定项目价格的实际上升或下降. 在当前的购买力下, 购买力法(CPP)涉及了历史数据的翻新.为了这一目标, 在这一时期的最后时刻, 历史数据被转换成了购买力的价格. 被要求的两个指标数据: 一个显示在期末的一般价格水平上, 另一个反映相同的数据在交易日.这种方法下的利润一段时间内在净资产价值方面上是增长的, 在当前购买力的项目中所有的价格是被估计出来的.现行成本会计(CCA)的方法现行成本会计是对当前购买力法的替代方法. 现行成本会计方法相当于在盈利中现行的收益与被消耗资源的现行成本.一般物价水平的变动通过指标数据去衡量. 具体价格发生变化, 如没有任何价格变动的特定资产的价格发生变化. 可以根据这一方法去解决, 资产按照当前的成本估价, 即资产被替换时的成本.通货膨胀会计的局限性虽然通货膨胀会计是一种更实际的做法,并能反映公司真实地财务情况, 但是有些限制不允许它成为一个普及的会计系统. 以下是他的限制:1.价格水平的变化是一个持续的过程.2.这个系统使计算变得乏味, 因为有太多的转换和计算.3.该系统没有被税务机关给予优惠.结论:在地球上的每一个人都受到通货膨胀的影响, 一些人表现出积极,但是大部分人表现的消极, 因为通货膨胀导致了一般购买力的侵蚀.历史成本会计没有考虑帐户中资产价值的变化, 由于通货膨胀影响的资产负债表和利润表, 不能真实的反映企业的价值及所需要的有效的决策信息.通货膨胀会计已经剔除了这个缺陷, 通过根据一般或具体价格水平的方法去调整数据.尽管对财务报表提出了正确的方法, 但是通货膨胀会计由于某些限制仍然没有得到广泛的普及. 但是随着在这一领域更多的研究和会计软件的开发, 毫无疑问, 调整后的通货膨胀会计就是财务会计的未来.附件2：外文原文Inflation Accounting/Faculty_Column/FC1103/fc1103.htmlSince we started understanding things around us, we all used to listen from our Grandparents about the things and articles especially Gold & Ghee being cheaper in their times.That time we used to think that why the things were cheaper in our Grandparent’ time and why had they started becoming costlier. So this question would keep us puzzled.But now as we have grown in our knowledge and understanding, we have come to know about the phenomenon of Inflation which in layman’s language is known as the state of rising pricing or the falling value of maney was the greatest reason behind this.Now emerges the question that what exactly is the Inflation?Inflation is a global phenomenon in present day times. There is hardly any country in the capitalist world today which is not afficted by spectre of inflation.Different economists have defined inflation in different words like Prof.Crowther has defined inflation “as a state in which the value of money is falling, ie, prices are tising.” In the words of Prof.Paul Einzig, “Inflation is that state of disequilibrium in which an expansion of purchasing power tend s to cause or is the effect of an increase of price level.” Both the definition have emphasized on the rising prices of the goods.The basic factors behind the inflation are either the rising demand or the shortening of supply due to any reason.Effect of Inflation on BusinessThe impact of inflation on business can be bifurcated into two parts like1.Impact on costs and revenue2.Impact on assets and liabilitiesAs far as impact of inflation on costs and revenues is concerned, definitely both will rise but whether they result into extraordinary profits will be determined by that how much opening stock was available at old prices with the company and how much later the demand for increasing wages is entertained by the company.In case of monetary assets and liabilities, accompany will lose of being creditor and gain in case of being debtor in real terms.If we talk about other assets like building, land and other securities, the company will be having holding gains in monetary terms but may have neutral impact in real terms due to the rise in prices on the one hand but fall in value of money on the other.Inflation Accounting and its significanceThe impact of inflation comes in the form of rising prices of output and assets. As the financial accounts are kept on Historical cost basis, so they don’t take into consideration the impact of rise in the prices of assets and output. This may sometimes result into the overstated profits, under priced assets and misleading picture of Business etc.So, the financial statements prepared under historical accounting are generally proved to be statements of historical facts and do not reflect the current worth of business. This deprives the users of accounts like management, shareholders, and creditors etc. to have a right picture of business to make appropriate decisions.Hence, this leads towards the need for Inflation Accounting. Inflation accounting is a term describing a range of accounting systems designed to correct problems arising from historical cost accounting in the presence of inflation.The significance of inflation accounting emerges from the inherent limitations of the historical cost accounting system.Following are the limitations of historical accounting:1.Historical accounts do not consider the unrealized holding gains arising from the rise in themonetary value of the assets due to inflation.2.The objective of charging depreciation is to spread the cost of the asset over its useful life andmake reserve for its replacement in the future. But it does not take into account the impact of inflation over the replacement cost which may result into the inadequate charge of depreciation.3.Under historical accounting, inventories acquired at old prices are marched against revenuesexpressed at current prices. In the period of inflation, this may lead to the overstatement of profits due mixing up of holding gains and operating gains.4.Future earnings are not easily projected from historical earnings.History of Inflation AccountingIn the last few years, inflation accounting has been adopted as a supplementary financial statement in the United States and the United Kingdom. This comes after more than 50 years of debate about methods of adjusting financial accounts for inflation.Accountants in the United Kingdom and the United States have discussed the effect of inflation on financial statements since the early 1900s, beginning with index number theory and purchasing power. Irving Fisher’s 1911 book the Purchasing Power Accounting. This model by Sweeney was used by The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for their 1936 research study(ARS6) Reporting the Financial Effects of Price-Level Changes, and later used by the Accounting Principles Board (USA), The Financial Standards Board (USA), and the Accounting Standards Steering Committee (UK). Sweeney advocated using a price index that covers everything in the gross national product. In March 1979, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) wrote Constant Dollar Accounting, which advocated using the Consumer Price Index for Al Urban Consumers (CPI-U) to adjust accounts because it is calculate every month.During the Great Depression, some corporations restated their financial statements to reflect inflation. At times during the past 50 years standard-setting organizations have encouraged companies to supplement cost-based financial statements with price-level adjusted statements. During a period of high inflation in the 1970s, the FASB was reviewing a draft proposal for price-level adjusted statements when the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued ASR 190, which required approximately 1,000 of the largest US corporations to provide supplemental information based on replacement cost. The FASB withdrew the draft proposal.Still to cater to the needs of an Inflation Accounting, the IASB came out with Accounting Standard known as IAS29.Techniques of Inflation AccountingTo measure the impact of inflation on financial statements, following are the techniques used: Current Purchasing Power (CPP) MethodUnder this method of adjusting accounts to price changes, all items in the financial statements are restated in terms of a constant unit of money ie in terms of general purchasing power. For measuring changes in the price level and incorporating the changes in the financial statements we use General Price Index, which may be considered to be a barometer meant for the purpose. The index is used to convert the values of various items in the Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account. This method takes into account the changes in the general purchasing power of money and ignores the actual rise or fall in the price of the given item. CPP method involves the refurnishing of historical figures at current purchasing power. For this purpose, historical figures are converted into value of purchasing power at the end of the period. Two index numbers are required: one showing the general price level at the end of the period and the other reflecting the same at the date of the transaction.Profit under this method is an increase in the value of the net asset over a period, all valuations being made in terms of current purchasing power.Current Cost Accounting (CCA) MethodThe Current Cost Accounting is an alternative to the Current Purchasing Power Method. The CCA method matches current revenues with the current cost of the resources which are consumed in earning them.Changes in the general price level are measured by Index Numbers. Specific price change occurs if price of a particular asset change without any general price change. Under this method, asset are valued at current cost which is the cost at which asset can be replaced as on a date.While the Current Purchasing Power (CPP) method is known as the General Price Level approach, the Current Cost Accounting (CCA) method is known as Specific Price Level approach or Replacement Cost Accounting.Limitations of Inflation AccountingThough Inflation Accounting is more practical approach for the true reflection of financial status of the company, there are certain limitations which are not allowing this to be a popular system of accounting. Following are the limitations:1.Change in the price level is a continuous process.2.This system makes the calculations a tedious task because of too many conversions andcalculations.3.This system has not been given preference by tax authorities.ConclusionEvery person on this earth has been affected by Inflation, some positively but most of the people negatively because the Inflation leads to the erosion of general purchasing power. The Inflation spares none and it equally influences the Businesses like the people.Historical cost accounting does not take into account the change in the rise in the value of assets and its impact on Balance Sheet and P&L Account due to inflation and does not reflect the real worth of the business which is very required for effective decision making.Inflation Accounting has removed this drawback by providing methods for adjusting the figure accounting to General or Specific Price levels.Despite a right method of presenting financial statements, Inflation Accounting is still not widely prevalent due to certain limitations. But with more research and development of accounting software in this field, there is no doubt that Inflation adjusted accounting is the future of Financial Accounting.。

会计学财务报表中英文对照外文翻译文献

会计学财务报表中英文对照外文翻译文献(文档含英文原文和中文翻译)译文：中美财务报表的区别(1)财务报告内容构成上的区别1)美国的财务报告包括三个基本的财务报表，除此之外，典型的美国大公司财务报告还包括以下成分：股东权益、收益与综合收益、管理报告、独立审计报告、选取的5-10年数据的管理讨论与分析以及选取的季度数据。

2)我国财务报告不注重其解释，而美国在财务报告的内容、方法、多样性上都比较充分。

中国的评价部分包括会计报表和财务报表，财务报表是最主要的报表，它包括前述各项与账面不符的描述、财会政策与变化、财会评估的变化、会计差错等问题，资产负债表日期，关联方关系和交易活动等等，揭示方法是注意底部和旁注。

美国的财务范围在内容上比财务报表更加丰富，包括会计政策、技巧、添加特定项目的报告, 报告格式很难反映内容和商业环境等等，对违反一致性、可比性原则问题，评论也需要披露的，但也揭示了许多方面，比如旁注、底注、括号内、补充声明、时间表和信息分析报告。

(2)财务报表格式上的比较1)从资产负债表的格式来看，美国的资产负债表有账户类型和报告样式两项描述，而我国是使用固定的账户类型。

另外，我们的资产负债表在项目的使用上过于标准化，不能够很好的反映出特殊的商业项目或者不适用于特殊类型的企业。

而美国的资产负债表项目是多样化的，除此之外，财务会计准则也是建立在资产负债表中资产所有者投资和支出两项要素基础上的，这一点也是中国的财会准则中没有的。

2)从损益表格式的角度来看，美国采用的是多步式，损益表项目分为两部分，营业利润和非营业利润，但是意义不同。

我国的营业利润在范围上比美国的小，例如投资收益在美国是归类为营业利润的而在我国则不属于营业利润。

另外，我国的损益表项目较美国的更加规范和严格，美国校准损益表仅仅依赖于类别和项目。

报告收可以与销售收入及其他收入相联系，也可以和利息收益、租赁收入和单项投资收益相联系；在成本方面，并不是严格的划分为管理成本、财务成本、和市场成本，并且经常性销售费用、综合管理费用以及利息费用、净利息收益都要分别折旧。

W.原文：Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No.2―QualitativeCharacteristics of Accounting InformationPrimary Decision-Specific QualitiesRelevance and reliability are the two primary qualities that makeaccounting information useful for decision making. Subject to constraintsimposed by cost and materiality, increased relevance and increasedreliability are the characteristics that make information a moredesirable commodity-that is, one useful in making decisions. If eitherof those qualities is completely missing, the information will not beuseful. Though, ideally, the choice of an accounting alternative shouldproduce information that is both more reliable and more relevant it maybe necessary to sacrifice some of one quality for a gain in another.To be relevant, information must be timely and it must have predictivevalue or feedback value or both. To be reliable, information must have representational faithfulness and it must be verifiable and neutral. Comparability, which includes consistency, is a secondary quality that interacts with relevance and reliability to contribute to the usefulness of information. Two constraints are include in the hierarchy, both primarily quantitative in character. Information can be useful and yet be too costly to justify providing it. To be useful and worth providing, the benefits of information should exceed its cost. All of the qualities of information shown are subject to a materiality threshold, and that is also shown as a constraint.RelevanceRelevant accounting information is capable of making a difference in a decision by helping users to form predictions about the outcomes of past, present and future events or to confirm or correct prior expectations. Information can make a difference to decisions by improving decision makers’ capacities to predict or by providing feedback on earlier expectations. Usually, information does both at once, because knowledge about the outcomes of actions already taken will generally improve decision makers’ abilities to predict the results of similar future actions. Without a knowledge of the past, the basis for a prediction will usually be lacking. Without an interest in the future, knowledge of the past is sterile.Timeliness, that is, having information available to decision makers before it loses its capacity to influence decisions, is an ancillary aspect of relevance. If information is not available when it is needed or becomes available so long after the reported events that it has no value for future action, it lacks relevance and is of little or no use. Timeliness alone cannot make information relevant, but a lack of timeliness can rob information of relevance it might otherwise have had.ReliabilityThe reliability of a measure rests on the faithfulness with which it represents what it purports to represent, coupled with an assurance for the user that it has that representational quality. To be useful, information must be reliable as well as relevant. Degrees of reliability must be recognized. It is hardly ever a question of black or white, but rather of more reliability or less. Reliability rests upon the extent to which the accounting description or measurement is verifiable and representational faithful. Neutrality of information also interacts with those two components of reliability to affect the usefulness of the information.Verifiability is a quality that may be demonstrated by securing a high degree of consensus among independent measures using the same measurement methods. Representational faithfulness, on the other hand, refers to the correspondence or events those numbers purport to represent. A high degreeof correspondence, however, does not guarantee that an accounting measurement will be relevant to the user’s needs if the resources or events represented by the measurement are inappropriate to the purpose at hand.Neutrality means that, in formulating or implementing standards, the primary concern should be the relevance and reliability of the information that results, not the effect that the new rule may have on a particular interest. A neutral choice between accounting alternatives is free from bias towards a predetermined result. The objectives of financial reporting serve many different information users who have diverse interests, and no one predetermined result is likely to suit all interests.Comparability and ConsistencyInformation about a particular enterprise gains greatly in usefulness, if it can be com pared with similar information about other enterprises and with similar information about the same enterprise for some other period or some other point in time. Comparability between enterprises and consistency in the application of methods over time increases the informational value of comparisons of relative economic opportunities or performance. The significance of information, especially quantitative information, depends to a great extent on the user’s ability to relate it to some benchmark.MaterialityMateriality is a pervasive concept that relates to the qualitative characteristics, especially relevance and reliability. Materiality and relevance are both defined in terms of what influences or makes a difference to a decision maker, but the two terms can be distinguished.A decision not to disclose certain information may be made, say, because investors have no need for that kind of information it is nit relevant or because the amounts involved are too small to make a difference they are not material . Magnitude by itself, without regard to the nature of the item and the circumstances in which the judgment has to be made, will not generally be a sufficient basis for a materiality judgment. The Board’s present position is that no general standards of materiality ban be formulated to take into account all the considerations that enter into an experienced human judgment. Quantitative materiality criteria may be given by the Board in specific standards in the future, as in the past, as appropriate.Source: Journal of Accountancy;Aug80, Vol.150 Issue 2, P105-120,16p 译文：财务会计概念的声明――会计信息质量特征制定具体决策的主要特征相关性和可靠性是使会计信息对于制定决策有用的最主要的两个特征。

外文翻译--国际会计准则第21号外汇汇率变动的影响

本科毕业论文（设计）外文翻译题目外币报表折算方法分析及中国的选择初探专业会计学外文题目Effect of Changes in Exchage Rates of Foreign Currencies 外文出处International Accounting Standard No 21 (IAS 21)外文作者International Accounting Standards Board原文：International Accounting Standard No 2 (IAS 2)Effect of changes in exchange rates of foreign currenciesObjectiveAn institution may conduct business abroad in two different ways. You can make transactions in foreign currency or may have business abroad. In addition, the entity may file its financial statements in a foreign currency. The purpose of this rule is to prescribe how they are incorporated in the financial statements of an entity, foreign currency transactions and business abroad, and how to convert the financial statements to the presentation currency of choice.The main problems that arise are the type or types of change to use and how to report on the effects of changes in exchange rates within the financial statements.DefinitionsOne group is the group formed by the parent and all its subsidiaries.Net investment in a foreign operation is the amount that corresponds to the participation of the entity that submitted their financial statements in the net assets of that business.Foreign currency (or currency) is any currency other than the functional currency of the entity.Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates.Presentation currency is the currency in which the financial statements are presented.Business abroad is an entity dependent partner, joint venture or branch of the reporting entity, whose activities are based or carried out in a country or a currency different from those of the reporting entity.Currency monetary items are kept in cash and assets and liabilities to be received or paid by a fixed or determinable amount of monetary units.Exchange rate is the ratio of exchange between two currencies.End exchange rate is the rate of existing cash on the balance sheet date.Exchange rate spot is the exchange rate used in transactions with immediate delivery.Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, canceled or a liability,among stakeholders and duly informed in a transaction conducted at arm's length.Initial Recognition1. A foreign currency transaction is any transaction whose value is called or requires winding up in a foreign currency, including those in which the entity:(a) buys or sells goods or services whose price is denominated in a foreign currency;(b) lends or borrows funds, if the amounts are set to charge or pay in a foreign currency(c) acquires or disposes provides another avenue for assets or liabilities incurred or liquidation, provided that these operations are denominated in foreign currencies.2. Any foreign currency transaction is recorded at the time of its initial recognition,using the functional currency, by applying to the amount in foreign currency exchange spot at the date of the transaction between the functional currency and foreign currency.The date of the transaction is the date on which the transaction meets the conditions for recognition in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. For practical reasons, often using an exchange rate closer to existing at the time of the transaction, for example, may be used for weekly or monthly average rate for all transactions that take place at that time In each of the classes of foreign currency used by the entity.However, it is not appropriate to use average rates if during the interval, the changes have fluctuated significantly.Financial information on the dates of the balance sheets post3. At each balance sheet date:(a) monetary items in foreign currencies are converted using the exchange rate of closure;(b) the non-monetary foreign currency being valued in terms of historical cost, will be converted using the exchange rate on the date of the transaction; and(c) the non-monetary foreign currency being valued at fair value, will be converted using the exchange rates of the date it was determined that fair value.4. To determine the amount of an item is taken into account, in addition, other rules that apply. For example, tangible assets can be valued in terms of historical cost or revalued amount, in accordance with IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment. Regardless of whether it has determined the amount by using the historical cost or revalued amount,provided that this amount has been established in foreign currency is converted to the functional currency using the rules set out in this Standard.Recognition of exchange differences5.Exchange differences that arise in the settlement of monetary items, or to convert monetary items at rates different from those used for its initial recognition, have already occurred during the year or in previous financial statements, are recognized in the outcome of year in which they appear.See a difference when you have change monetary items as a result of a transaction in foreign currency, and there is a change in the exchange rate between the date of the transaction and the settlement date. When the transaction is settled in the same year in which they occurred, the entire exchange difference will be recognized in that period.However, when the transaction is settled in a later period, the exchange difference recognized in each period, until the settlement date, will be determined from the change that has occurred in the exchange rate for each year. When recognized directly in equity gain or loss on a non-monetary, any exchange difference, including in such losses or gains were also recognized directly in equity. By contrast, when the gain or loss on a non-monetary recognition in profit or loss, any exchange difference, including in such losses or gains, was also recognized in profit or loss.6. Exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of the netinvestment in a business of the foreign entity, are recognized in profit or loss of the separate financial statements of the reporting entity or in the separate financial statements of business abroad, as appropriate. Financial statements containing the business abroad and the reporting entity (for example,the consolidated financial statements if the business abroad is a dependent), such exchange differences are recognized initially as a separate component of equity,and subsequently recognized in the outcome when it becomes available or disposed of by other means business abroad.When a monetary item is part of the net investment, carried out by the reporting entity in a foreign operation, and is denominated in the functional currency of the reporting entity,an exchange difference arises in the separate financial statements of the business abroad.When the entity bears its records and ledgers in a currency other than their functional currency and proceed to prepare their financial statements, will convert all amounts to the functional currency, as set out in paragraphs 1 to 26.As a result, will produce the same amounts, in terms of functional currency, which would have been earned if the items were originally recorded in the functional currency. For example, monetary items are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates of closure, and nonmonetary items which are valued at historical cost, will be converted using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction that created its appreciation.7. The results and financial position of an entity whose functional currency is not in accordance with the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, translated into the presentation currency, should it be different, using the following procedures:(a) the assets and liabilities of each balance sheet presented (i.e., including comparative figures), will be converted at the rate of closure on the date of the corresponding stock;(b) revenue and expenses for each profit and loss accounts (i.e., including comparative figures), will become the exchange rates at the date of each transaction; and(c) all exchange differences arising out of this, it is recognized as a separate component of equity.8. Often, for the conversion of items of income and expenditure, is used for practical purposes an approximate rate, representative of changes in the dates of transactions,such as the average exchange rate of the period. However, when exchange rates have changed significantly, it is inappropriate to use the average rate for the period.9. Exchange differences referred to in paragraph (c) of paragraph 39 are listed by:(a) The conversion of expenditure and revenue to the exchange rates of the dates oftransactions, and of the assets and liabilities at the rate of closure. These differencesappear to change both the expenditure items and revenue recognized in the results, as recognized by the directly in equity.(b) Conversion of assets and liabilities to an early Net-end exchange rate that is different from the type used in the previous closing. Such exchange differences are not recognized in profit or loss because of the variations in exchange rates have little or no direct effect on cash flows arising from current and future activities. When the above exchange differences relating to a business abroad that while consolidating, is not involved in its entirety, the cumulative exchange differences arising from the conversion that is attributable to the minority stake, will be allocated to it and be recognized as part of the minority interest in the consolidated balance sheet.10. When the entity's functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy, it will restate its financial statements before implementing the conversion method set out in paragraph 42, according to IAS 29 Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies, except the comparative figures, in the case of conversion to the currency of a hyperinflationary economy.When the economy in question ceases to be hyperinflationary and the entity ceases to restate its financial statements in accordance with IAS 29, used as the historic costs to be converted to the presentation currency, the amounts restated according to the level of prices on the date that the entity ceased to do this restatement.11. When converting to a presentation currency, the results and financial position of a foreign operation, as a preliminary step to their inclusion in the financial statements of the reporting entity, whether through consolidation, or using the proportional consolidation method of Participation will apply paragraphs 45 to 47, in addition to the provisions of paragraphs 38 to 10.The incorporation of the results and financial position of a foreign operation to the reporting entity will follow the normal procedures of consolidation, such as the elimination of intra-group transactions and balances of a dependent (see IAS 27 States Consolidated and separate financial and IAS 31 Interests in joint ventures). However, an asset (or liability) intragroup money, either short or long term, it may not be eliminated against the corresponding liability (or asset) Intra, without showing the results of changes in exchange rates within the states Consolidated Financial. This is because the monetary item represents a commitment to convert one currency into another, which exposes the reporting entity at a loss or gain on exchange fluctuations between the currencies.

When the financial statements of business abroad and the reporting entity are referred to different dates, he often produces additional financial statements with the same date as this one. When it is not, IAS 27 allows the use of different dates of submission, provided that the difference is not greater than three months, and have performed the appropriate adjustments to reflect the effects of significant transactions and other events that occurred between the dates reference. In this case, the assets and liabilities of the business abroad will be converted at the rate of the balance sheet date business abroad.It was also carried out the appropriate adjustments for significant variations in exchange rates until the balance sheet date of the reporting entity, in accordance with IAS 27.Disposition or disposal by other means of a foreign13.

外文翻译原文1The logic of pension accounting2. Pensions as an expense2.1. Early approaches to pension accountingIn the USA and UK, private-sector employer-sponsored pension arrangements began to appear in the second half of the 19th century, and were often associated with large organizations such as railways, insurance companies and banks (Hannah, 1986: 10–12; Chandar and Miranti,2007: 206). Accounting for these arrangements was often very simple. The cost recognized by the employer was effectively the cash paid in a given period. Some schemes operated on a ‘pay-as-you-go’ basis, where the employer made no advance provision for retirement benefits. In this case, the cost each period equaled the benefits paid. In a scheme where the employer made contributions to an external fund invested in securities, out of which benefits would be paid, or made notional contributions to an internal account, the cost would be the contributions arising in each period, possibly augmented by interest on notional contributions if these were not used to purchase securities. However, many employers granted pensions to enable employees to retire, even though no advance provision had been made.The ‘expense-as-you-pay’ accounting for pen sions was rationaliz ed through the ‘gratuity theo ry’ of retirement benefits (McGill et al., 2004: 16).This theory proposed that retirement benefits were awarded to retirees at the discretion of the employ er, ‘as a kindly ac t on the part of an employer towards old retainers who have served him faithfully and well’ (Pilch and Wo od, 1979: 2). Paying a pension was not necessarily an act of pure benevolence, because it could allow an employer to retire an employee who was no longer performing adequately, without incurring public criticism. The gratuity theory implied that the employer received an efficiency gain when superannuated employees retired, and that the appropriate point at which to recognize the cost of pensions was as the pensions were paid. If the employer wanted to earmark some earnings in a distinct pension reserve before employees retired, then this would be regarded as an appropriation of profit rather than as an expense. Even in structured pension schemes, the employer might include clauses denying the existence of an enforceable contract, stressing that pension benefitswere paid entirely at the employ er’s discretion and could be discontinued at any time (Stone, 1984: 24).However, the gratuity theory rapidly came under challenge from the view that pensions constitute ‘deferred pay’, and that employees in effect sacrifice current income in exchange for the expectation of income in the future. On this basis, early accounting theorists such as Henry Rand Hatfield suggested that employers should include in operat ing expenses ‘the amount necessary to provide for future pensions’ (Hatfield, 1916: 194). A number of commentators observed that the calculation of such an expense was potentially highly complex, but they suggested that the calculations fell within the domain of actuaries (Stone, 1984: 26).Members of the actuarial profession had already been involved in advising on appropriate contribution rates for pension schemes involving either ex ternal or internal ‘notional’ funding. In accounting terms, the employer would measure the annual cost of pension provision either directly in terms of amounts calculated by actuaries, if the route of internal funding was followed, or through the contributions (themselves determined by actuaries) to an external pension fund. In the case of external funding, cost would be equal to contributions due for the period, and, other than short-term accruals,pension expense would be based on cash payments (or other assets transferred) to the pension fund.2.2. The beginnings of accounting regulationEarly authoritative accounting pronouncements endorsed this essentially cash-based approach to pension cost determination. The Committee on Accounting Procedure of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued Accounting Research Bulletin No. 47 Accounting for Costs of Pension Plans in 1956, and expressed the view that ‘costs based on current and future services should be systematically accrued during the expected period of active service of the cov ered employees’ (CAP, 1956). On closer analysis,‘systematic accrual’ implied that employers would use the method recommended by the actuary for funding the pension plan to determine the pension expense in respect of current service. This approach was endorsed by the Accounting Principles Board (APB) in their Opinion No. 8 Accounting for the Cost of Pension Plans, issued in 1966. APB 8 is entirely cost-based – there are references to ‘balance-sheet pension accruals’ and ‘balance-sheet pension prepayments or deferred charges’ but no explanation of these terms or how they are to be determined. Much of the Opinion addresses not the issue of det ermining ‘normalcost’ (‘the an nual cost assigned, under the actuarial cost method in use, to years subsequent to the inception of a pension plan or to a particular valuation dat e’) bu t rather ‘past service cost’ (‘pension cost assigned under the actuarial cost method in use, to years prior to the inception of a pension plan’) and ‘prior service cost’ (‘pens ion cost assigned, under the actuarial cost method in use, to years prior to the date of a particular actuarial valuation’). The Opinion goes to great lengths to provide guidance on how these components of pension cost should be recognized, recommending spreading of the costs over a period up to 40 years. A number of features of the accounting treatment of pension costs need to be highlighted. First although it is not made explicit, there is an under-lying desire to arrive at a pension expense in each period that is not materially different from the em ployer’s contributions to th e pension fund. APB 8 notes ‘the amount of the pension cost determined under this Opinion may vary from the amounfunded’ (APB, 1966: para.43), but this situation is not analyzed in detail. For unfunded pension plans, costs are to be determined using an actuarial cost method. The criteria for the selection of an appropriate actuarial cost method are that the method is‘rational and systematic and should be consistently applied so that it results in a reasonable measure of pension cost from year to year’.Author: Christopher J.

国际会计准则2—股份支付下的会计计量【外文翻译】

外文翻译外文题目Accounting for share-based payment under NZ IFRS2 外文出处University of Auckland business review,spring2005,V ol,issue2,p39-46外文作者David Emanuel原文：Accounting for share-based payments under NZ IFRS-2I n essence this Standard deals with three primary issues. The first is where “payment” is by the issue of shares or other f orms of instrument. The second is where there is a cash payment, but the amount is derived from share values or a change in share values. And the third is where the provider of goods or services to an entity has a choice about whether he or she gets paid in cash or shares.As a practical matter, the major effect of this standard is on remuneration. Employees may receive part of their remuneration in restricted shares, share appreciation rights, or via share options. In the case of restricted shares the employee may not have to pay “fair value” for the shares. Schemes based on share appreciation involve the employee (eventually) receiving cash that is tied to changes in share prices. In the case of share options, the normal arrangement is that no money is exchanged when the option is granted, and if the option is exercised the grantee (i.e., the employee) pays the exercise price for the new shares that are issued.This article concentrates on the share option accounting, as share options are an international and pervasive form of remuneration, because share options have come in for some criticism, and options involve the use of equity instruments. It is important to note at the outset that some share-based payment schemes will involve the recognition of a liab ility, rather than the recognition of an item that affects “equity”. What are employee share options?A share option gives its holder the right but not the obligation to buy shares in thegranting company, on or before a specified date, and at an agreed price. For example, an employee might be given, at the “grant date”, the right to buy 1,000 shares in Company A at an exercise price of $5 per share, but only after a three-year time period (of waiting, while continuing to be employed) and only over the following two years. Technically, the option is a warrant, as most of the time new shares are created when the options are exercised. Senior employee share options (i.e., executive share options) agreements often have complicated performance aspects associated with them, for example the options can only be exercised if accounting rates of return reach certain targets, or provided the price of the shares on the share market exceeds some benchmark price by vesting date. Sometimes the exercise price might also ch ange. For example, the exercise price might increase at the company’s equity cost of capital, less dividends, each year, or the exercise price might be tied to an international industry index, like the Morgan Stanley Telecommunication Index, which might be appropriate for assessing the performance of companies like Telecom.Some companies issue restricted shares, but in a way that the shares are really options in disguise. For example a senior manager might be issued shares, which he or she has paid for through a loan made by the company to the employee. There is likely to be a restriction on the shares, for example they may not vest until say three years from grant date. However, the manager also holds a put option written by the company, with an exercise price equal to the subscription price of the shares. In sum, if the share price falls, the manager puts the shares back to the company, receives the cash, and pays off the loan. If the share price rises the manager throws the put away. Effectively the manager owns shares and a put, and has a loan from the company. It can easily be shown that this is equivalent to a call option, so executive stock option accounting would be applied even if this is not “technically”an option.In many practical cases options are issued with an exercise price that is close to the share price at the time of the initial grant. That is, options are frequently issued “at the money”. When the share price exceeds the exercise price the option is described as being “in the money”, and t he difference between the share price and the exercise price is described as the option’s intrinsic value. When the share price is less than theexercise price the option is “out of the money”, and the intrinsic value of the option is zero.Impact on compa nies’ profitsThe impact on New Zealand companies’ profits is likely to be quite small as typically employee options outstanding, if any, are a very small proportion of the total ordinary shares outstanding –in the order of 1% or 2% at most. However, in the US, and particularly in certain sectors of the economy, the impact of expensing options will be large. A Bear Stearns’ research team estimated that the impact on companies in the Standard and Poor’s 500 index would be to slice five percent off post-tax net income if those companies had expensed options in 2004. For the top 100 companies on the Nasdaq the impact would be 22% on average. The report indicated that Intel’s net income would have dropped 17% if it had expensed employee stock options and Cisco’s profit would have fallen 24%. Unsurprisingly, the information technology sector companies have been strongly opposed to expensing stock options. So have biotechnology companies. Many of the companies in these sectors will be start-ups, will have negative cash flow and hence will need to go back to financiers from time to time, and will rely extensively on options in remunerating employees. Those companies would not be enamoured with the prospect of reporting even bigger losses as a consequence of expensing options, as they might feel it will impact on their bility to raise additional capital. Further, they have argued that there is no satisfactory way to determine the fair value of the options in the first place.What does the new standard require?IFRS-2indicates that there is an amount that ought to be recognized as an expense. The expense is based on the fair value of the services provided, and if that cannot be done the expense is based on the fair value of the options granted. As it is virtually impossible to assess the fair value of the services provided by the employee, the normal method of determining expense is therefore going to be the fair value of the options actually granted. That is easier said than done, and some of the issues associated with the valuation of employee options are dealt with below.Paragraph 15 tells us over what period the expense associated with the options isrecognized. This is determined to be the vesting period, which in many New Zealand cases is the first two or three y ears of the option’s life. For example when Pumpkin Patch Limited made its initial public offering (IPO) in June 2004, about two million options were issued to senior employees with a vesting period of three years and an exercise period of the following two years. In essence the executives could exercise the options any time between June 2007 and June 2009, provided the market-based performance hurdle was reached. In that case the exercise price was the IPO price, but the options can only be exercised as long as the share price increased by Pumpkin Patch’s equity cost of capital, less dividends, over the vesting period. My estimate of the fair value of these options at grant date, each one of which converts into one share if exercised, is about $0.306 each. In aggregate this translates into a total expense of $600,000 to be recognized over the vesting period –say $200,000 per annum. In practice this calculation would actually be based on the expected number of options to be exercised, rather than the total number, as some options will lapse if employees resign, die, are made redundant, or are dismissed with cause. And obviously the expected number of options to be exercised could change over the vesting period, depending on what the share price was doing. For example in the case of Pumpkin Patch the share price at the time of writing is about $2.75 so the options are “deep in the money” but there is another two years to run before the options vest. Executives are less inclined to leave in this situation, than if the options were out of the money. Therefore, the accounting under IFRS-2 would require the recognition of an expense each year during the vesting period, with a corresponding credit to Equity, to an account likely to be called “Issued Capital (Options)”.Fair value of employee share optionsThe value of an option depends on six variables – the share price at the time, the exercise price, interest rates, time to run to expiry, the volatility of the returns on the underlying shares, and dividends expected to be paid during the life of the options. There are other factors that make the valuation more complex. The major one is that typically employee share options do not vest for a period of time, and then can be exercised at any time after service vesting, subject to any remaining performancehurdles being satisfied, and also subject to any insider trading provisions that may exist. Hence, employee share options are a mixture of European and American options (if they were traded on an exchange they would be known as Bermudan options). If the performance hurdles are market based (as in the Pumpkin Patch case) this, too, needs to be factored into the valuation.With traded options there is a simple rule –don’t exercise all options on non-dividend paying shares early. But while options on markets can be traded, employee share options lack liquidity. Liquidity is valuable, and the only (easy) way in which the managers can create liquidity is to exercise their rights and then sell the shares. So early exercise is common, perhaps motivated by the desire of the employees to diversify their wealth. Effectively they will be allocating some of the monetary wealth away from where their human capital is allocated. And this raises another issue – the employees may be assigning a value to the options that is less than the cost of the options to the company, creating a deadweight loss.All this suggests that valuing employee options is difficult and there is some considerable uncertainty in the final numbers. However they are likely to be a substantially better estimate than the estimate of expense used currently, which is zero. Further, the uncertainty is probably no greater than with other items that we take for granted – like the useful life of an asset for depreciation purposes.Most valuers will use some form of binomial option pricing model to determine “fair value”, and the binomial model can cope with most of the complexity that has been described above. Some will use the Black-Scholes-Merton optionpricing model, and use expected life (not total life) of the option in the formula.The more complicated the option, the more likely a binomial solution will be needed. From the company’s perspective, this will not come for free – firms will need to employ a financial expert to determine the initial fair value, every time the firm grants new options. Of course, it is acknowledged that firms do need to know what options are worth if they are part of a remuneration package, so it can be argued that the net incremental cost of having to “book” the amount into the accounting system is quite low.Concluding commentThe basic accounting for share based payments for remuneration is therefore quite simple –expense an amount over a vesting period. The main difficulties are associated with (a) determining a reliable fair value for the instrument, and (b) determining a reasonable estimate of the number of instruments that will not lapse during the vesting period. The former, fair value, is bound up in some reasonably sophisticated valuation procedures. The latter is a management-derived estimate that will depend upon internal judgments on a year-by-year basis, although by the end of the vesting period one will know how many options will vest. In my view the determination of the fair value will be the more difficult aspect. However, all leading firms of financial advisers will have experts in this area, and will have developed models that can satisfy most computational needs.David EmanuelUniversity of Auckland business review；spring2005,vol.1ssue 2,p39-46译文：国际会计准则2—股份支付下的会计计量股份支付准则大体上是解决这样三个主要的问题。

International Journal of Liability & Scientific Enquiry, 2009, 2(2):233-246.英文原文The application of an accounting standard for SMEsDanuse Nerudova and Hana BohusovaAbstractSmall and medium-sized companies have a very important position in the European Union (EU) economy, mainly in the area of employment. Their activities in the internal market are limited by a great deal of obstacles. The most important obstacles are the different national accounting and tax systems. At present, it is obvious that a certain degree of accounting and tax harmonization has to take place. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) is designed to apply to the general-purpose harmonized financial statements of all profit-oriented SMEs. General-purpose financial statements are directed toward the common information needs (an entity’s financial position, performance, cash flow) of a wide range of users (shareholders, creditors,employees). Determining taxable income requires special-purpose financial statements designed to comply with the tax laws and regulations in a particular jurisdiction. An entity taxable income is defined by the laws and regulations of the country or other jurisdictions in which it is domiciled. Tax authorities are also important external users of the financial statements of SMEs. Profit or loss recognized under IFRS for SMEs could be a starting point for determining taxable income. Keywords: small- and medium-sized enterprises; SMEs; taxable income; International Financial Reporting Standards; IFRS; cash flow; tax; accounting.1 IntroductionSmall- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) comprise a substantial part of thecompanies operating in the European Union (EU) member states. Based on the latest statistics, there are 25 million SMEsoperating in 27 member states, which represent 234 D. Nerudováand H. Bohušov á99% of all business. These companies create more than 100 million jobs in the EU (Eurostat, 2003). In some industry sectors, such as textiles or construction, they even create more than 75% of the jobs. SMEs are considered the key factor of economic growth and employment in the EU. Therefore, they have received a great deal of attention in the EU in the last ten years. The structure of the EU 25 businesseconomy by the number of persons employed is shown in Table.There are 988 787 SMEs (with less than 250 employees), which represent 99.81% of all the enterprises operating in the Czech market (Czech Statistical Office, 2003). SMEs employ 1 961 000 people, which represent a 62.21% share of the total employment in the Czech Republic. The share is even 80% higher than the other sectors of the national economy –agriculture 85% and restaurant services 89.34%. For this reason, SMEs also play a very important role in the Czech Republic not only in the area of employment, but also in the economy as a whole.The increase in the importance of SMEs in the EU economy has propelled the European Commission to commission several studies, such as COM (2001)582 final and COM (2005)532 final in this area. These studies have dealt with the SMEs’position in the internal market and have identified the obstacles which these types of enterprises face while operating in the internal market. The existence of obstacles mainly in the form of 25 different accounting and tax systems, which generate disproportionate high compliance costs for SMEs (in comparison with large enterprises), is the reason why SMEs are less involved in cross-border activities and operate less in the internal market in comparison with large enterprises. The studies have revealed that SMEs operate mainly in the domestic (national) markets. It seems that in today’s globalised world, a higher involvement of SMEs in cross-borderactivities and its higher operation on the internal market could bring an increase in their competitiveness and performance, which would remarkably influence the economy and growth of the EU as a whole.The aims of the paper are to evaluate the Exposure Draft (ED) of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for SMEs and design some modifications of SME financial reporting harmonization. The theoretical background of the paper presents the objectives of SME financial reporting harmonization and the efforts of the European Commission to harmonies the area of corporate taxation and introduce the recommended taxation models of EU companies. This paper contains a research on the implementation used in harmonising SME financial reporting. The full IFRS is transformed for SMEs by the simplification of some standards and by the omission of irrelevant standards. Finally, the paper summarises the results of the research and suggests alternative solutions.2 The characteristics of SMEsThe application of an accounting standard for SMEs 235 At present, various definitions which have been developed for application in different countries can be found. The criteria often used for classifying enterprises are turnover, the number of employees, capital base, profits, etc. Whether an enterprise appears to be large, medium or small differs widely across the countries and depends on their degree of development and the generalscale of economic activity.1 According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) (2005), the characteristics of SMEs reflect not only economic, but also the cultural and social dimensions of a country. The paper uses the definition of SMEs which has been introduced in the EU by the adoption of the Commission There is at present relatively little cross-country experience with generalised approaches to SMEs’taxation and accounting. On the other hand, there are available literature on the challenges faced in designing tax regimes for SMEs. Different accounting and tax systems which trigger high compliance costs represent the barrier for SMEs wishing to take part in cross-border activities in the EU.The efforts to unify the accounting systems of the EU member states are connected with the establishment of the European Economic Community (EEC) –the harmonisation of accounting and taxes is confirmed in the Treaty of Rome signed in 1957. The aim was to coordinate the protective rules of companies not only in the interest of shareholders and third parties (creditors, employees), but also in the interest of equal competitive conditions and equal business relations in the member states.The first harmonisation efforts in the area of accounting were accomplished by the adoption of directives (Fourth Directive No. 78/660/EEC, Seventh Directive No. 83/349/EEC and Eighth Directive No.84/253/EEC). They create the code of EU accounting legislation and represent the basic harmonisation tool of the European Commission. These directives comprise elements from the continental legal system typified by Germany or France, as well as the elements from the Anglo-Saxon system. Both approaches differ mainly in the area of financial statements’arrangements.The most important directive in the area of accounting is represented by the fourth directive, which concerns the financial statements of large and medium-sized capital companies. The directive reflects the compromises between the continental and Anglo-Saxon approaches –the structure and form of financial statements are variable and its final form is left to national competence.Since the 1970s, the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) has played a very important role in the area of accounting harmonisation. The IASC was followed in 2001 by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), which was asked to create unified International Accounting Standards (IAS) and later, the IFRS.The efforts to harmonise taxation systems for SMEs within the EU have started mainly in 2001, when the European Commission introduced the green paper which surveyed the tax obstacles for the companies in the internal market. Until that time, the European Commission was always trying to harmonise or coordinate the system of direct taxation in generalwithout any special emphasis on SMEs. After the publication of the abovementioned study in 2001, the European Commission suggested four possible models of corporate tax harmonisation.2 One of them –Home State Taxation (HST) –was aimed at SMEs. Under that system, the companies will use for the taxation of their European activities the rules which are valid in the country where the company has a seat or headquarters. HST is voluntary –companies could opt to use domestic taxation rules or not.The model does not represent harmonisation, for under this system, 27 different national taxation systems, would still exist. The application of the model could also increase tax competition in order to attract the companies that would tax their profits from the European activities in the country. The European Commission has prepared the pilot project, under which the model should be tested for five years in selected countries. However, no member state applied to participate; therefore, the Commission turned its attention to a second model –the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CCCTB). At present, the CCCTB represents the priority of the European Commission –the draft of the CCCTB directive should be finished by the end of 2008. The problem is that the model is mainly aimed at large companies and will probably not be reachable for SMEs (for details, see Nerudová, 2007).At present, the directives connected with accounting are undergoingthe revision. The aims are to adopt the directives to the requirements connected with the internalisation of the business environment and harmonise the directives with IFRS. In 2003, Directive No. 2003/51/EC was adopted, which enables the member states which do not apply IAS/IFRS on all companies to use the similar financial reporting systems.The situation in the area of accounting harmonisation is solved for large companies listed on the world stock markets. SMEs have a legal obligation to prepare financial statements in accordance with a set of accounting principles accepted in their country. Those statements are available to creditors, suppliers and the government in their country, but they could be difficult to understand for creditors, suppliers and those in other countries.The financial statements of SMEs that are comparable from one country to the next are needed for the following reasons. Firstly, financial institutions make loans across borders and operate on a multinational level. Secondly, vendors want to evaluate the financial health of buzzers in other countries before they sell goods or services on credit. Credit rating agencies try to develop ratings uniformly across borders. Furthermore, many SMEs have overseas suppliers and use a supplier’s financial statement to assess the prospects of a viable long-term business relationship. V enture capital firms also provide funding to SMEs across borders.Many SMEs have external investors who are not involved in the day-to-day management of the entity. Global accounting standards for general-purpose financial statements and the resulting comparability are especially important when those external investors are located in a different jurisdiction from the entity and when they have interests in other SMEs. Moreover, global standards also improve the consistency in audit quality and facilitate education and training. On the other hand, good accounting and more disclosures add to SMEs’burdens rather than reduce them; SMEs are also often concerned about the competitive harmfulness of greater transparency.The benefit of global financial reporting standards is not limited to enterprises whose securities are traded in public capital markets. SMEs –and those who use their financial statements –can benefit from a common set of accounting standards different from full IFRS. Users may have less interest in some information in general-purpose financial statements prepared in accordance with full IFRS than the users of financial statements of publicly traded entities (users of the financial statements of SMEs may have greater interest in short-term cash flows, liquidity, balance sheet strength and interest coverage or they may need some information that is not ordinarily presented in the financial statement of publicly traded companies).The differences between full IFRS and IFRS for SMEs must bedetermined on the basis of users’needs and cost-benefit analyses as quotes (Bohušová, 2007). There can be found different attitudes to the introduction of standards for SMEs in accounting theory. As stated by Březinová(2004), it is very important to consider who the users of financial statements are while making the decision about the application of accounting standards for SMEs. Also, V eerle (2005) and Street and Larson (2004) were in opposition to SMEs’accounting harmonisation based on full IFRS, which is applied in Malta, Cyprus or Croatia (mainly because of the different needs of users of the information from the financial statements). With quotes (Březinová, 2004), the basic problem is the approaches to the valuation methods used by IFRS for companies which are not the subjects of public interest. The philosophy of IFRS is primarily to provide the information for financial investors and supervising institutions while the standards for SMEs (which are not the subjects of public interest) should reflect the needs of different accounting information users (owners, managers, state, tax authorities, insurance companies, creditors, etc.). On the contrary, Haller (2002) asked whether the size of the enterprise is the reason for the application of different methodical approaches to financial statements. Furthermore, Oberreiter (2005) expressed doubt about the harmonisation of the standards for SMEs mainly because of its local character. According to the author, SMEs lack the ambition to become large or listed companies.He suggested different approaches to the individual SMEs.3 BackgroundSince 2004, the IASB has been working on a project to develop accounting standards suitable for enterprises that are not obliged to prepare financial statements in accordance with IAS/IFRS. In June 2004, the discussion paper Preliminary Views on Accounting Standards for SMEs was published. The responses (120 responses) to the discussion paper showed a clear demand for an IFRS for SMEs and the preference to adopt the IFRS for SMEs rather than locally or regionally developed standards. Based on the responses to the discussion paper, the enterprises which should prepare their financial statements in accordance with IFRS for SMEs were defined. They were defined by the IASB as enterprises that either do not have public accountability or publish general-purpose financial statements for external users.The IASB definition of SMEs does not include quantified size criteria for determining what a small or medium-sized entity is because those standards could be used in over 100 countries (from the reasons already mentioned). It is not feasible to develop a quantified test that would be applicable and long-lasting in all of those countries. In deciding which entities should be required or permitted to use the IFRS for SMEs, jurisdiction may prescribe the quantified size criteria in a particular country. Despite this fact, the IASB approach focuses on ‘the typicalSME’with about 50 employees. It is a quantified size test for defining SMEs, but rather, for helping it decide the kind of transactions, events and conditions that should be explicitly addressed in the IFRS for SMEs.中文译文中小企业会计准则的应用Danuse Nerudova和Hana Bohusova摘要中小企业在欧盟经济中占有非常重要的地位，主要集中在就业领域。

国际会计准则40【外文翻译】

外文文献翻译一、外文原文原文：International Accounting Standard 40Investment Property Scope1 This Standard shall be applied in the recognition, measurement and disclosure of investment property.2 Investment property is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Therefore, an investment property generates cash flows largely independently of the other assets held by an entity. This distinguishes investment property from owner-occupied property. The production or supply of goods or services (or the use of property for administrative purposes) generates cash flows that are attributable not only to property, but also to other assets used in the production or supply process. IAS3 Property, Plant and Equipment applies to owner-occupied property.Recognition15 Investment property shall be recognised as an asset when, and only when:(a) it is probable that the future economic benefits that are associated with the investment property will flow to the entity; and(b) the cost of the investment property can be measured reliably. Measurement at recognition4 An investment property shall be measured initially at its cost. Transaction costs shall be included in the initial measurement.5 The cost of a purchased investment property comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. Directly attributable expenditure includes, for example, professional fees for legal services, property transfer taxes and other transaction costs.Measurement after recognition6 This Standard requires all entities to determine the fair value of investmentproperty, for the purpose of either measurement (if the entity uses the fair value model) or disclosure (if it uses the cost model). An entity is encouraged, but not required, to determine the fair value of investment property on the basis of a valuation by an independent valuer who holds a recognised and relevant professional qualification and has recent experience in the location and category of the investment property being valued.Fair value model7 After initial recognition, an entity that chooses the fair value model shall measure all of its investment property at fair value, except in the cases described in paragraph 47.8 A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of investment property shall be recognised in profit or loss for the period in which it arises.9 The fair value of investment property is the price at which the property could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction (see paragraph 5). Fair value specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.10 An entity determines fair value without any deduction for transaction costs it may incur on sale or other disposal.11 The fair value of investment property shall reflect market conditions at the end of the reporting period.EC staff consolidated version as of 16 September 2009, EN – EU IAS 40 FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY12 Fair value is time-specific as of a given date. Because market conditions may change, the amount reported as fair value may be incorrect or inappropriate if estimated as of another time. The definition of fair value also assumes simultaneous exchange and completion of the contract for sale without any variation in price that might be made in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties if exchange and completion are not simultaneous.13 The fair value of investment property reflects, among other things, rentalincome from current leases and reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent what knowledgeable, willing parties would assume about rental income from future leases in the light of current conditions. It also reflects, on a similar basis,any cash outflows (including rental payments and other outflows) that could be expected in respect of the property. Some of those outflows are reflected in the liability whereas others relate to outflows that are not recognised in the financial statements until a later date (eg periodic payments such as contingent rents).14 The definition of fair value refers to ‘knowledgeable, willing parties’. In this context, ‘knowledgeable’ means th at both the willing buyer and the willing seller are reasonably informed about the nature and characteristics of the investment property, its actual and potential uses, and market conditions at the end of the reporting period.A willing buyer is motivated, but not compelled, to buy. This buyer is neither over-eager nor determined to buy at any price. The assumed buyer would not pay a higher price than a market comprising knowledgeable, willing buyers and sellers would require.to sell at any price, nor one prepared to hold out for a price not considered reasonable in current market conditions. The willing seller is motivated to sell the investment property at market terms for the best price obtainable. The factual circumstances of the actual investment property owner are not a part of this consideration because the willing seller is a hypothetical owner (eg a willing seller would not take into account the particular tax circumstances of the actual investment property owner).15 The definition of fair value ref ers to an arm’s length transaction. An arm’s length transaction is one between parties that do not have a particular or special relationship that makes prices of transactions uncharacteristic of market conditions. The transaction is presumed to be between unrelated parties, each acting independently.16 The best evidence of fair value is given by current prices in an active market for similar property in the same location and condition and subject to similar lease and other contracts. An entity takes care to identify any differences in the nature, location or condition of the property, or in the contractual terms of the leases and othercontracts relating to the property.17 In the absence of current prices in an active market of the kind described in paragraph 45, an entity considers information from a variety of sources, including:(a) current prices in an active market for properties of different nature, condition or location (or subject to different lease or other contracts), adjusted to reflect those differences;(b) recent prices of similar properties on less active markets, with adjustments to reflect any changes in economic conditions since the date of the transactions that occurred at those prices; and(c) discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates of future cash flows, supported by the terms of any existing lease and other contracts and (when possible) by external evidence such ascurrent market rents for similar properties in the same location and condition, and using discount rates that reflect current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and timing of the cashflows.18 In some cases, the various sources listed in the previous paragraph may suggest different conclusions about the fair value of an investment property. An entity considers the reasons for those differences, in order to arrive at the most reliable estimate of fair value within a range of reasonable fair value estimates.EC staff consolidated version as of 16 September 2009, EN –EU IAS 40 FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY19 In exceptional cases, there is clear evidence when an entity first acquires an investment property (or when an existing property first becomes investment property after a change in use) that the variability in the range of reasonable fair value estimates will be so great, and the probabilities of the various outcomes so difficult to assess, that the usefulness of a single estimate of fair value is negated. This may indicate that the fair value of the property will not be reliably determinable on a continuing basis (see paragraph 47).20 Fair value differs from value in use, as defined in IAS 36 Impairment ofAssets. Fair value reflects the knowledge and estimates of knowledgeable, willing buyers and sellers. In contrast, value in use reflects the entity’s estimates, including the effects of factors that may be specific to the entity and not applicable to entities in general. For example, fair value does not reflect any of the following factors to the extent that they would not be generally available to knowledgeable, willing buyers and sellers:(a) additional value derived from the creation of a portfolio of properties in different locations;(b) synergies between investment property and other assets;(c) legal rights or legal restrictions that are specific only to the current owner; and(d) tax benefits or tax burdens that are specific to the current owner.21 In determining the carrying amount of investment property under the fair value model, an entity does not double-count assets or liabilities that are recognised as separate assets or liabilities. For example:(a) equipment such as lifts or air-conditioning is often an integral part of a building and is generally included in the fair value of the investment property, rather than recognised separately as property,plant and equipment.(b) if an office is leased on a furnished basis, the fair value of the office generally includes the fair value of the furniture, because the rental income relates to the furnished office. When furniture is included in the fair value of investment property, an entity does not recognise that furniture as a separate asset.(c) the fair value of investment property excludes prepaid or accrued operating lease income, because the entity recognises it as a separate liability or asset.22 The fair value of investment property does not reflect future capital expenditure that will improve or enhance the property and does not reflect the related future benefits from this future expenditure.23 In some cases, an entity expects that the present value of its payments relating to an investment property(other than payments relating to recognised liabilities) will exceed the present value of the related cash receipts. An entity applies IAS 37Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets to determine whether to recognise a liability and, if so, how to measure it.Inability to determine fair value reliably24 There is a rebuttable presumption that an entity can reliably determine the fair value of an investment property on a continuing basis. However, in exceptional cases, there is clear evidence when an entity first acquires an investment property (or when an existing property first becomes investment property after a change in use) that the fair value of the investment property is not reliably determinable on a continuing basis. This arises when, and only when, comparable market transactions are infrequent and alternative reliable estimates of fair value (for example, based on discounted cash flow projections) are not available. If an entity determines that the fair value of an investment property under construction is not reliably determinable but expects the fair value of the property to be reliably determinable when construction is complete, it shall measure that investment property under construction at cost until either its fair value becomes reliably determinable or construction is completed (whichever is earlier).If an entity determines that the fair value of an investment property (other than an investment property under construction) is not reliably determinable on a continuing basis, the entity shall EC staff consolidated version as of 16 September 2009, EN –EU IAS 40 FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY8 measure that investment property using the cost model in IAS 16. The residual value of the investment property shall be assumed to be zero. The entity shall apply IAS 16 until disposal of the investment property.25 In the exceptional cases when an entity is compelled, for the reason given in paragraph 53, to measure an investment property using the cost model in accordance with IAS 16, it measures at fair value all its other investment property, including investment property under construction. In these cases, although an entity may use the cost model for one investment property, the entity shall continue to account for each of the remaining properties using the fair value model.26 If an entity has previously measured an investment property at fair value, it shall continue to measure the property at fair value until disposal (or until the propertybecomes owner-occupied property or the entity begins to develop the property for subsequent sale in the ordinary course of business) even if comparable market transactions become less frequent or market prices become less readily available. Cost model27 After initial recognition, an entity that chooses the cost model shall measure all of its investment property in accordance with IAS 16’s requirements for that model, other than those that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale (or are included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale) in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Investment properties that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale (or are included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale) shall be measured in accordance with IFRS 5. Transfers28 Transfers to, or from, investment property shall be made when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by:(a) commencement of owner-occupation, for a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property;(b) commencement of development with a view to sale, for a transfer from investment property to inventories;(c) end of owner-occupation, for a transfer from owner-occupied property to investment property; or(d) commencement of an operating lease to another party, for a transfer from inventories to investment property.29 Paragraph 51(2) requires an entity to transfer a property from investment property to inventories when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by commencement of development with a view to sale. When an entity decides to dispose of an investment property without development, it continues to treat the property as an investment property until it is derecognised (eliminated from the statement of financial position) and does not treat it as inventory. Similarly, if an entity begins to redevelop an existing investment property for continued future use as investment property, the property remains an investment property and is notreclassified as owner-occupied property during the redevelopment.30 Paragraphs 54-59 apply to recognition and measurement issues that arise when an entity uses the fair value model for investment property. When an entity uses the cost model, transfers between investment property, owner-occupied property and inventories do not change the carrying amount of the property transferred and they do not change the cost of that property for measurement or disclosure purposes.31 For a transfer from investment property carried at fair value to owner-occupied property or inventories, the property’s deemed cost for subsequent accounting in accordance with IAS 16 or IAS 2 shall be its fair value at the date of change in use.61 If an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property that will be carried at fair value, an entity shall apply IAS 16 up to the date of change in use. The entity shall treat any difference at that date between the carrying amount of the property in accordance with IAS 16 and its fair value in the same way as a revaluation in accordance with IAS 16.32 Up to the date when an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property carried at fair value, an entity depreciates the property and recognises any impairment losses that have occurred. The entity treats any difference at that date between the carrying amount of the property in accordance with IAS 16 and its fair value in the same way as a revaluation in accordance with IAS 16. In other words:(a) any resulting decrease in the carrying amount of the property is recognised in profit or loss.However, to the extent that an amount is included in revaluation surplus for that property, thedecrease is recognised in other comprehensive income and reduces the revaluation surplus withinequity.(b) any resulting increase in the carrying amount is treated as follows:(i) to the extent that the increase reverses a previous impairment loss for that property, the increase is recognised in profit or loss. The amount recognised in profit or loss does not exceed the amount needed to restore the carrying amount to the carrying amount thatwould have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised.(ii) any remaining part of the increase is recognised in other comprehensive income and increases the revaluation surplus within equity. On subsequent disposal of the investment property, the revaluation surplus included in equity may be transferred to retained earnings. The transfer from revaluation surplus to retained earnings is not made through profit or loss.33 For a transfer from inventories to investment property that will be carried at fair value, any difference between the fair value of the property at that date and its previous carrying amount shall be recognised in profit or loss.34 The treatment of transfers from inventories to investment property that will be carried at fair value is consistent with the treatment of sales of inventories.35 When an entity completes the construction or development of a self-constructed investment property that will be carried at fair value, any difference between the fair value of the property at that date and its previous carrying amount shall be recognised in profit or loss.Disposals36 An investment property shall be derecognised (eliminated from the statement of financial position) on disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal.37、The disposal of an investment property may be achieved by sale or by entering into a finance lease. In determining the date of disposal for investment property, an entity applies the criteria in IAS 18 for recognising revenue from the sale of goods and considers the related guidance in the Appendix to IAS 18.IAS 17 applies to a disposal effected by entering into a finance lease and to a sale and leaseback.38 Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of investment property shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and shall be recognised in profit or loss (unless IAS 17 requires otherwise on a sale and leaseback) in the period of the retirement or disposal.39 The consideration receivable on disposal of an investment property isrecognised initially at fair value. In particular, if payment for an investment property is deferred, the consideration received is recognised initially at the cash price equivalent. The difference between the nominal amount of the consideration and the cash price equivalent is recognised as interest revenue in accordance with IAS 18 using the effective interest method.40 An entity applies IAS 37 or other Standards, as appropriate, to any liabilities that it retains after disposal of an investment property.DisclosureFair value model and cost model41 The disclosures below apply in addition to those in IAS 17. In accordance with IAS 17, the owner of an investment property provides lessors’ disclosures about leases into which it has entered. An entity that holds an investment property under a finance or operating lease provides lessees’ disclosures for finance leases and lessors’ disclosures for any operating leases into which it has entered.42 An entity shall disclose:(a) when classification is difficult (see paragraph 14), the criteria it uses to distinguish investment property from owner-occupied property and from property held for sale in the ordinary course of business.(b) the methods and significant assumptions applied in determining the fair value of investment property, including a statement whether the determination of fair value was supported by market evidence or was more heavily based on other factors (which the entity shall disclose) because of the nature of the property and lack of comparable market data.(c) the extent to which the fair value of investment property (as measured or disclosed in the financial statements) is based on a valuation by an independent valuer who holds a recognised and relevant professional qualification and has recent experience in the location and categoryof the investment property being valued. If there has been no such valuation, that fact shall be disclosed.(d) the amounts recognised in profit or loss for:(i) rental income from investment property;(ii) direct operating expenses (including repairs and maintenance) arising from investment property that generated rental income during the period; and (iii) direct operating expenses (including repairs and maintenance) arising from investment property that did not generate rental income during the period.(e) the existence and amounts of restrictions on the realisability of investment property or the remittance of income and proceeds of disposal.(f) contractual obligations to purchase, construct or develop investment property or for repairs,maintenance or enhancements.Fair value model43 In addition to the disclosures required by paragraph 66, an entity that applies the fair value model in paragraphs 27-49 shall disclose a reconciliation between the carrying amounts of investment property at the beginning and end of the period, showing the following:(a) additions, disclosing separately those additions resulting from acquisitions and those resultingfrom subsequent expenditure recognised in the carrying amount of an asset;(b) additions resulting from acquisitions through business combinations;(c) assets classified as held for sale or included in a disposal group classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 and other disposals;(d) net gains or losses from fair value adjustments;(e) the net exchange differences arising on the translation of the financial statements into a different presentation currency, and on translation of a foreign operation into the presentation currency of the reporting entity;(f) transfers to and from inventories and owner-occupied property; and(g) other changes.44 shall disclose amounts EC staff consolidated version as of 16 September 2009, EN –EU IAS 40 FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY 12 relating to that investment property separately from amounts relating to other investment property. In addition, an entity shall disclose:(a) a description of the investment property;(b) an explanation of why fair value cannot be determined reliably;(c) if possible, the range of estimates within which fair value is highly likely to lie; and(d) on disposal of investment property not carried at fair value:(i) the fact that the entity has disposed of investment property not carried at fair value;(ii) the carrying amount of that investment property at the time of sale; and(iii) the amount of gain or loss recognised.Cost model45 In addition to the disclosures required by paragraph 66, an entity that applies the cost model in paragraph 50 shall disclose:(a) the depreciation methods used;(b) the useful lives or the depreciation rates used;(c) the gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation (aggregated with accumulated impairment losses) at the beginning and end of the period;(d) a reconciliation of the carrying amount of investment property at the beginning and end of the period, showing the following:(i) additions, disclosing separately those additions resulting from acquisitions and those resulting from subsequent expenditure recognised as an asset;(ii) additions resulting from acquisitions through business combinations;(iii) assets classified as held for sale or included in a disposal group classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 and other disposals;(iv) depreciation;(v) the amount of impairment losses recognised, and the amount of impairment losses reversed, during the period in accordance with IAS 36;(vi) the net exchange differences arising on the translation of the financial statements into a different presentation currency, and on translation of a foreign operation into the presentation currency of the reporting entity;(vii) transfers to and from inventories and owner-occupied property; and(viii) other changes; and(e) the fair value of investment property. In the exceptional cases described in paragraph 47,when an entity cannot determine the fair value of the investment property reliably, it shalldisclose:(i) a description of the investment property;(ii) an explanation of why fair value cannot be determined reliably; and(iii) if possible, the range of estimates within which fair value is highly likely to lie.Transitional provisionsFair value model46 An entity that has previously applied IAS 40 (2000) and elects for the first time to classify and account for some or all eligible property interests held under operating leases as investment property shall recognise the effect of that election as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the period in which the election is first made. In addition:(a) if the entity has previously disclosed publicly (in financial statements or otherwise) the fair value of those property interests in earlier periods (determined on a basis that satisfies the definition of fair value in paragraph 5 and the guidance in paragraphs 29-46), the entity is encouraged, but not required:(i) to adjust the opening balance of retained earnings for the earliest period presented for which such fair value was disclosed publicly; and(ii) to restate comparative information for those periods; and(b) if the entity has not previously disclosed publicly the information described in (a), it shall not restate comparative information and shall disclose that fact.47 This Standard requires a treatment different from that required by IAS 8. IAS 8 requires comparative information to be restated unless such restatement is impracticable.48 When an entity first applies this Standard, the adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings includes the reclassification of any amount held inrevaluation surplus for investment property.Cost model49 IAS 8 applies to any change in accounting policies that is made when an entity first applies this Standard and chooses to use the cost model. The effect of the change in accounting policies includes the reclassification of any amount held in revaluation surplus for investment property.Effective date50 This international accounting standards on income from 1 January 2001 or after the date began annual financial statements and effective. Encourage early adoption. If the enterprise will these standards used in since 2001 start before January 1, the income, it shall disclose this fact51 This Standard supersedes IAS 40 Investment Property..Source: International accounting standards committee[M], International Accounting Standard40，2001二、翻译文章译文：国际会计准则40投资性房地产范围1、本准则适用于投资性房地产的确认、计量和披露。

国际会计准则中英文对照外文翻译文献

中英文对照外文翻译文献(文档含英文原文和中文翻译)译文:译文（一）世界贸易的飞速发展和国际资本的快速流动将世界经济带入了全球化时代。

在这个时代, 任何一个国家要脱离世界贸易市场和资本市场谋求自身发展是非常困难的。

会计作为国际通用的商业语言, 在经济全球化过程中扮演着越来越重要的角色, 市场参与者也对其提出越来越高的要求。

随着市场经济体制的逐步建立和完善，有些国家加入世贸组织后国际化进程的加快，市场开放程度的进一步增强，市场经济发育过程中不可避免的各种财务问题的出现，迫切需要完善的会计准则加以规范。

然而，在会计准则制定过程中，有必要认真思考理清会计准则的概念，使制定的会计准则规范准确、方便操作、经济实用。

由于各国家的历史、环境、经济发展等方面的不同,导致目前世界所使用的会计准则在很多方面都存在着差异,这使得各国家之间的会计信息缺乏可比性,本国信息为外国家信息使用者所理解的成本较高,在很大程度上阻碍了世界国家间资本的自由流动。

近年来,许多国家的会计管理部门和国家性的会计、经济组织都致力于会计准则的思考和研究,力求制定出一套适于各个不同国家和经济环境下的规范一致的会计准则,以增强会计信息的可比性,减少国家各之间经济交往中信息转换的成本。

译文（二）会计准则就是会计管理活动所依据的原则, 会计准则总是以一定的社会经济背景为其存在基础, 也总是反映不同社会经济制度、法律制度以及人们习惯的某些特征, 因而不同国家的会计准则各有不同特点。

但是会计准则毕竟是经济发展对会计规范提出的客观要求。

它与社会经济发展水平和会计管理的基本要求是相适应的,因而,每个国家的会计准则必然具有某些共性:1. 规范性每个企业有着变化多端的经济业务,而不同行业的企业又有各自的特殊性。

而有了会计准则,会计人员在进行会计核算时就有了一个共同遵循的标准,各行各业的会计工作可在同一标准的基础上进行,从而使会计行为达到规范化,使得会计人员提供的会计信息具有广泛的一致性和可比性,大大提高了会计信息的质量。

外文原文：Fair Value Measurements1 In February 2006 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) published a Memorandum of Understanding reaffirming their commitment to the convergence of US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and to their shared objective of developing high quality, common accounting standards for use in the world’s capital markets. The convergence work programme set out in the Memorandum reflects the standard-setting context of the ‘roadmap’ developed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission in consultation with the IASB, FASB and European Commission for the removal of the reconciliation requirement for non-US companies that use IFRSs and are registered in the US. The work programme includes a project on measuring fair value.2 The FASB has recently issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), on which work was well advanced before the Memorandum of Understanding was published. SFAS 157 establishes a single definition of fair value together with a framework for measuring fair value for US GAAP. The IASB recognised the need for guidance on measuring fair value in IFRSs and for increased convergence with US GAAP. Consequently, the IASB decided to use the FASB’s standard as the starting point for its deliberations. As the first stage of its project, the IASB is publishing in this discussion paper its preliminary views on the principal issues contained in SFAS 157.3 The IASB plans to hold round-table meetings on this discussion paper in conjunction with the development of an exposure draft. Please indicate in your response to this Invitation to Comment if you are interested in taking part in a round-table meeting. Please note that, because of timing and space constraints, not all of those indicating an interest may be able to take part.4 The IASB will consider responses to this Invitation to Comment and the related round-table discussions in developing an exposure draft of an IFRS on fair value measurement. The exposure draft will be prepared specifically for application to IFRSs. Although provisions of SFAS 157 may be used in the preparation of an exposure draft, they may be reworded or altered to be consistent with other IFRSs and to reflect the decisions of the IASB. The IASB plans to publish an exposure draft by early 2008.5 In November 2005 the IASB published for comment a discussion paper, Measurement Bases for Financial Accounting – Measurement on Initial Recognition, written by the staff of the Canadian Accounting Standards Board. Although that paper contained a discussion of fair value, its primary purpose was to discuss which measurement attributes were appropriate for initial recognition. That paper is part of the ongoing Conceptual Framework project that seeks to establish, among other things, a framework for measurement in financial reporting. Because of the different scope and intent of that paper, it is not discussed in this discussion paper. However, comments on that discussion paper relatingto the measurement of fair value will be considered in the development of the exposure draft of an IFRS on fair value measurement as well as in the Conceptual Framework project. Issue 1. SFAS 157 and fair value measurement guidance in current IFRSs6 IFRSs require some assets, liabilities and equity instruments to be measured at fair value in some circumstances. However, guidance on measuring fair value is dispersed throughout IFRSs and is not always consistent. The IASB believes that establishing a single source of guidance for all fair value measurements required by IFRSs will both simplify IFRSs and improve the quality of fair value information included in financial reports. A concise definition of fair value combined with consistent guidance that applies to all fair value measurements would more clearly communicate the objective of fair value measurement and eliminate the need for constituents to consider guidance dispersed throughout IFRSs.7 The IASB emphasises that the Fair Value Measurements project is not a means of expanding the use of fair value in financial reporting. Rather, the objective of the project is to codify, clarify and simplify existing guidance that is dispersed widely in IFRSs. However, in order to establish a single standard that provides uniform guidance for all fair value measurements required by IFRSs, amendments will need to be made to the existing guidance. As discussed further in Issue 2, the amendments might change how fair value is measured in some standards and how the requirements are interpreted and applied.8 In some IFRSs the IASB (or its predecessor body) consciously included measurement guidance that results in a measurement that is treated as if it were fair value even though the guidance is not consistent with the fair value measurement objective. For example, paragraph B16 of IFRS 3 Business Combinations provides guidance that is inconsistent with the fair value measurement objective for items acquired in a business combination such as tax assets, tax liabilities and net employee benefit assets or liabilities for defined benefit plans. Furthermore, some IFRSs contain measurement reliability criteria. For example, IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment permits the revaluation model to be used only if fair value can be measured reliably This project will not change any of that guidance. Rather, that guidance will be considered project by project. However, the IASB plans to use the Fair Value Measurements project to establish guidance where there currently is none, such as in IAS 17 Leases, as well as to eliminate inconsistent guidance that does not clearly articulate a single measurement objective.9 Because SFAS 157 establishes a single source of guidance and a single objective that can be applied to all fair value measurements, the IASB has reached the preliminary view that SFAS 157 is an improvement on the disparate guidance in IFRSs. However, as discussed in more detail below, the IASB has not reached preliminary views on all provisions of SFAS 157.Issue 2. Differences between the definitions of fair value in SFAS 157 and in IFRSs10 Paragraph 5 of SFAS 157 defines fair value as ‘the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.’Bycomparison, fair value is generally defined in IFRSs as ‘the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction’ (withsome slight variations in wording in different standards). Thedefinition in SFAS 157 differs from the definitionin IFRSs in three important ways:(a)The definition in SFAS 157 is explicitly an exit (selling) price. Thedefinition in IFRSs is neither explicitly an exit price nor an entry (buying) price.(b)The definition in SFAS 157 explicitly refers to market participants. The definition in IFRSs refers to knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.(c)For liabilities, the definition of fair value in SFAS 157 rests on the notion that the liability is transferred (the liability to the counterparty continues; it is not settled with the counterparty). The definition in IFRSs refers to the amount at which a liabilitycould be settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.11 These differences are discussed in more detail below.Issue 2A. Exit price measurement objective12 The Basis for Conclusions of SFAS 157 includes the following discussion:C26The transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability is a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date, considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. Therefore, the objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received for the asset or paid to transfer the liability at the measurement date, that is, an exit price. The Board [FASB] concluded that an exit price objective is appropriate because it embodies current expectations about the future inflows associated with the asset and the future outflows associated with the liability from the perspective of market participants. The emphasis on inflows and outflows is consistent with the definitions of assets and liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial INVITATION TO COMMENT Statements. Paragraph25 of Concepts Statement 6 defines assets in terms of future economic benefits (future inflows). Paragraph 35 of Concepts Statement 6 defines liabilities in terms of future sacrifices of economic benefits (future outflows).13 Paragraph 49 of the IASB’s Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements similarly defines assets and liabilities in terms of inflows and outflows of economic benefits. The majority of IASB members believe that a fair value measurement with an exit price objective is consistent with these definitions and is appropriate because it reflects current market-based expectations of flows of economic benefit into or out of the entity.14 Other IASB members agree with this view, but in their view an entry price also reflects current market-based expectations of flows of economic benefit into or out of the entity. Therefore, they suggest replacing the term ‘fair value’ with terms that are more descriptive of the measurement attribute, such as ‘current entry price’ or ‘current exit price’.15 An entry price measurement objective would differ from the exit price objective in SFAS 157 in that it would be defined as the price that would be paid to acquire an asset or received to assume a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Some members of the IASB are of the view that an entry price and an exit price would be the same amount in the same market, assuming that transaction costs are excluded. However, an entity might buy an asset or assume a liability in one market and sell that same asset or transfer that same liability (ie without modification or repackaging) in another market. In such circumstances, the exit price in SFAS 157 would be likely to differ from the entry price.16Some fair value measurements required by IFRSs might not be consistent with an exit price measurement objective. In particular, the IASB observes that this might be the case when fair value is required on initial recognition, such as in:(a)IFRS 3,(b)IAS 17 for the initial recognition of assets and liabilities by a lessee under a finance lease, and(c)IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for the initial recognition of some financial assets and financial liabilities.17In developing an exposure draft, the IASB may propose a revised definition of fair value. If so, it will complete a standard-by-standard review of fair value measurements required in IFRSs to assess whether each standard’s intended measurement objective is consistent with the proposed definition. If the IASB concludes that the intended measurement objective in a particular standard is inconsistent with the proposed definition of fair value, either that standard will be excluded from the scope of the exposure draft or the intended measurement objective will be restated using a term other than fair value (such as ‘current entry value’). To assist in its review, the IASB would like to understand how the fair value measurement guidance in IFRSs is currently applied in practice. It therefore requests respondents to identify those fair value measurements in IFRSs for which practice differs from the fair value measurement objective in SFAS 157.Issue 2B. Market participant view18SFAS 157 emphasises that a fair value measurement is a market-basedmeasurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fairvalue measurement should be based on the assumptions that marketparticipants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Furthermore, evenwhen there is limited or no observable market activity, the objective ofthe fair value measurement remains the same: to determine the pricethat would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability inan orderly transaction between market participants at the measurementdate, regardless of the entity’s intention or ability to sell the asset ortransfer the liability at that date.19Paragraph 10 of SFAS 157 defines market participants as buyers andsellers in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset orliability who are:(a)Independent of the reporting entity; that is, they are not related parties(b)Knowledgeable, having a reasonable understanding about the asset or liability and the transaction based on all available information, including information that might be obtained through due diligence efforts that are usual and customary(c)Able to transact for the asset or liability(d)Willing to transact for the asset or liability; that is, they are motivated but not forced or otherwise compelled to do so.20In comparison, the definition of fair value in IFRSs refers to‘knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction’.Paragraphs 42-44 of IAS 40 Investment Property provide a description of this concept:42The definition of fair value refers to ‘knowledgeable, willing parties’.In this context, ‘knowledgeable’ means that both the willing buyer and the willing seller are reasonably informed about the nature and characteristics of the investment property, its actual and potential uses, and market conditions at the balance sheet date. A willing buyer ismotivated, but not compelled, to buy. This buyer is neither over-eager nor determined to buy at any price. The assumed buyer would not pay a higher price than a market comprising knowledgeable, willing buyers and sellers would require.43A willing seller is neither an over-eager nor a forced seller, prepared to sell at any price, nor one prepared to hold out for a price not considered reasonable in current market conditions. The willing seller is motivated to sell the investment property at market terms for the best price obtainable. The factual circumstances of the actual investment property owner are not a part of this consideration because the willing seller is a hypothetical owner (ega willing seller would not take into account the particular tax circumstances of the actual investment property owner).44The definition of fair value refers to an arm’s length transaction.Anarm’s length transaction is one between parties that do not have a particular or special relationship that makes prices of transactions uncharacteristic of market conditions. The transaction is presumed to be between unrelated parties, each acting independently.21The IASB’s preliminary view is that the market participant view is generally consistent with the concepts of a knowledgeable, willing party in an arm’s length transaction that are currently contained in IFRSs. However, in the IASB’s view, the proposed definition more clearly articulates the market-based fair value measurement objective in IFRSs.中文译文：公允价值测量1 在 2006 年二月，国际会计准则委员会 (IASB) 和美国财务会计标准委员会 (FASB) 公布了再断言他们对美国公认会计原则 (GAAP) 和国际的金融报告标准 (IFRSs) 的集中承诺的一个备忘录和对他们的发展中高级质量的被分享的目的, 公共的为全球的使用资本市场的会计准则。

本科毕业论文（设计）外文翻译外文题目Fair Value and the IASB/FASB Conceptual Framework Project : An Alternative View 外文出处 ABACUS外文作者 Whittington, Geoffrey原文：Fair Value and the IASB/FASB Conceptual Framework Project: AnAlternative ViewThis paper analyses various controversial issues arising from the current project of the IASB and FASB to develop a joint conceptual framework for financial reporting standards. It discusses their possible implications for measurement and, in particular, for the use of fair value as the preferred measurement basis. Two competing world views are identified as underlying the debate: a Fair Value View, implicit in the IASB’s public pronouncements, and an Al ternative View implicit in publicly expressed criticisms of the IASB’s pronouncements. The Fair Value View assumes that markets are relatively perfect and complete and that, in such a setting, financial reports should meet the needs of passive investors and creditors by reporting fair values derived from current market prices. The Alternative View assumes that markets are relatively imperfect and incomplete and that, in such a market setting, financial reports should also meet the monitoring requirements of current shareholders (stewardship) by reporting past transactions and events using entity-specific measurements that reflect the opportunities actually available to the reporting entity. The different implications of the two views are illustrated by reference to specific issues in recent accounting standards. Finally, the theoretical support for the two views is discussed. It is concluded that, in a realistic market setting, the search for a universal measurement method may be fruitless and a more appropriate approach tothe measurement problem might be to define a clear measurement objective and to select the measurement method that best meets that objective in the particular circumstances that exist in relation to each item in the accounts. An example of such an approach is deprival value, which is not, at present, under consideration by the IASB.Key words:Conceptual framework; Fair value; Financial reporting;International accounting standards; Measurement.The project by the IASB and FASB to develop a joint conceptual framework,derived from their existing frameworks, is likely to influence the development of accounting standards for many years to come. It is therefore not surprising that the first discussion papers resulting from the project have attracted much fiercer criticism than the standard setters seem to have anticipated, or that much of this criticism has come from within the European Union, which is committed to adopting the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) of the IASB.The issue that seems likely to attract most controversy is that of measurement,which has not yet reached discussion paper stage within the conceptual framework project. In particular, the IASB’s perceived preference for fair value as a measurement objective is likely, if expressed in the conceptual framework discussions, to be strongly contested. This issue has already been raised by an earlier discussion paper issued (but not endorsed) by the IASB, and authored by staff of the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (2005), which praised the positive properties of fair value.Controversy has been stirred further by the IASB’s publication, as a discussion paper (November 2006), of the FASB’s SFAS 157 (2006), which attempts to prescribe the interpretation of fair value within FASB standards as being a current market sale price, ignoring transaction costs and free of entity specific assumptions. Many critics feel that the adoption of this within IASB standards would change present practice significantly and adversely, because IFRS apply fair value more widely to non-financial assets than do FASB standards. Sale prices are seen as less relevant and less reliable in the case of non-financial rather than financial assets.Although fair value is a focus for much of the recent cr iticism of the IASB’sstandards and is also likely to be so for its conceptual framework project, the reasons for the criticism lie in other elements of the framework. Critics of fair value are, in fact, offering an alternative world view of financial reporting, although this view is usually not well articulated. Nor, for that matter, is the fair value world view well articulated: the argument is usually conducted on the basis of accepting a few simple assumptions that make fair value seem to be an obvious choice, whereas the assumptions themselves should be under discussion.The objective of this paper is to make some progress towards identifying these alternative world views and therefore to clarify the nature of the dispute about the conceptual framework in general and fair value in particular. The perspective is that of the IASB, of which the author was a member from 2001 to 2006, rather than the FASB, which is its partner in the project. The author’s own experiences in writing a number of alternative views to IASB drafts and standards inform the discussion. These were written piecemeal, but gradually a more coherent pattern began to be apparent, which expressed a different set of assumptions, or world view, described here as the Alternative View. This is in contrast with the view that is implicit in many of the IASB’s pronouncements, described here as the Fair Value View. This account is likely to be subjective and incomplete, and there are likely to be many other world views. However, when there is such a fierce debate between supporters and opponents of a view, it must surely help understanding to identify the main sources of disagreement. It must also be acknowledged that some of the contentious issues arise within the existing conceptual frameworks, but, as the frameworks are being revised, it is appropriate to question them.The paper proceeds as follows. First, a description is given of the current project to develop a joint conceptual framework for the IASB and FASB, including its motivation and objectives. Next, there is a discussion of the controversial aspects of the first two draft chapters of the new framework, on the purpose of financial reporting and the desirable properties of accounting information, which have already been issued in discussion paper form. This is followed by a discussion of the issues raised by the subsequent chapters of the new framework that are currently in variousstages of development, including definition of the elements of accounts, recognition and measurement. An attempt is then made to identify the two competing world views represented by opposing sides of the arguments on specific issues. We then consider how these competing views have been reflected in past IASB pronouncements, and in alternative views expressed on them. We conclude by considering the theoretical support for the Alternative View.THE IASB/FASB CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK PROJECTBoth the FASB and the IASB already have conceptual frameworks. The FASB’s was the first, dating mainly from the 1970s, and consists of seven substantial concepts statements, each published separately.The IASB’s Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (1989) is a much briefer single document of 110 paragraphs, dating from 1989. Its content shows a strong affinity with the FASB’s earlier work, although there are important differences of detail. One important similarity is that, like the FASB framework, it lacks a treatment of measurement and is therefore incomplete. This is a legacy of the fierce and unresolved debates that took place particularly in the 1970s, when standard setters struggled unsuccessfully to achieve a solution to the inflation accounting problem that would be accepted by both users and preparers of accounts. Another legacy of the pressures and controversies of that period is that both frameworks emphasize decision usefulness, particularly to investors in capital markets, as the primary focus of general purpose financial statements. This was a bold step at the time, sweeping away the traditionalist view that accounting is primarily for legal and stewardship purposes, with decision usefulness as a useful possible additional benefit. It is argued later that this change of focus may be carried too far by the current revision of the frameworks.A primary motivation for the joint project is to converge the frameworks of the two boards in order to provide a consistent intellectual foundation for the convergence of the two sets of standards, to which both boards committed themselves in the Norwalk Agreement of 2002. Convergence is not, however, the only motivation: Improvement is equally important.There are two aspects to improvement: filling gaps to achieve completeness,and removing internal contradictions to improve consistency.The most obvious gap that needs to be filled is to develop guidance on measurement. There are many aspects of the coherence of the IASB’s framework that need improvement. An area that has given particular difficulty recently is the definition of a liability and especially the distinction between a liability and equity.The joint project started in 2005. Its planned sequence of topics and current achievements is listed in Table 1. The working papers for the project are developed by a joint IASB/FASB staff team, there being a different staff team for each stage. FASB’s greater staff resources mean that they are usually in the majority, although staff from the Canadian standard-setting body are currently developing the proposals on elements and recognition. Each paper is discussed by both boards, usually separately but sometimes in joint meetings. Thus, the project is truly a joint one, although the greater bulk of the FASB’s existing framework and its strong staff input mean that the starting point tends to be the FASB’s existing d ocument rather than the IASB’s. In most aspects, there is little difference between the current IASB and FASB frameworks, so that the FASB’s distinct influence is seen mainly in the bulk and style of exposition and argument (which may be politely described as ‘thorough’) in the two draft chapters and working papers that have appeared to date. The present paper is, however, written from the IASB perspective, and this means that some matters which look like changes from that perspective are the result of conv erging with the FASB’s existing position.OBJECTIVES AND QUALITATIVE CHARACTERISTICSThe first stage of the revision project (Phase A in Table 1) was initially considered to be so uncontroversial that it was intended that the first publication would be an exposure draft, which would be the only public consultation. However, wiser counsel prevailed and it was decided that the first stage would be (as with all subsequent stages of the revision) a discussion paper, which would be followed later by an exposure draft.This Preliminary Views paper, entitled The Objective Of Financial Reporting And Qualitative Characteristics Of Decision-useful Financial Reporting Information, was published in July 2006, with the comment period ending on 3 November. The comments received have demonstrated that the proposals arecontroversial and have justified the decision to issue a discussion paper, allowing further consultation on the subsequent exposure draft. They were originally conceived as being uncontroversial because they substantially reiterate much of the material that is in the existing frameworks. However, they do contain some significant reconstruction of the form and argument, certainly relative to the IASB’s currently slender document, and these contain the seeds of controversy. Moreover, the retention of some of the concepts in the existing framework is also controversial, particularly in those countries that are recent adopters of IFRS and that were not involved in the original development of the framework.The Objective of Financial ReportingChapter 1 of the Discussion Paper, on the objective of financial reporting, is fundamental to the remainder of the Framework. It reiterates the existing concern to produce general purpose financial statements , that is, ones that meet the needs of all external users who do not have privileged access to the entity’s internal information. It also continues the present policy of selecting investors and creditors as the focus group for establishing needs. This includes potential as well as present investors and lenders as well as equity investors. The needs of investors are assumed to be to make resource allocation decisions , which will be served by providing‘information to help present and potential investors and creditors and others to assess the amounts, timing and uncertainty of the entity’s future cash inflows and outflows’(para. OB3).Source:ABACUS,2008:139-144译文：公允价值和国际会计准则/ 财务会计准则概念框架项目:另一种观点本文分析了各种各样的国际会计准则与财务会计准则有争议的问题，从而形成标准的财务报告联合概念框架，讨论了他们对计量的影响，特别是以公允价值为基础的计量。

外文翻译--国际会计准则第36号-资产减值

外文翻译--国际会计准则第36号-资产减值本科毕业论文（设计）外文翻译外文题目 International Accounting Standard 36外文出处 International Accounting Standard原文：International Accounting Standard 36 Impairment of AssetsObjective1. The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the procedures that an entity applies to ensure that its assets are carried at no more than their recoverable amount. An asset is carried at more than its recoverable amount if its carrying amount exceeds the amount to be recovered through use or sale of the asset. If this is the case, the asset is described as impaired and the Standard requires the entity to recognise an impairment loss. The Standard also specifies when an entity should reverse an impairment loss and prescribes disclosures.Scope2. This Standard shall be applied in accounting for the impairment of all assets, other than:a inventories see IAS 2 Inventories ;b assets arising from construction contracts see IAS 11 Construction Contracts ;c deferred tax assets see IAS 12 Income Taxes ;d assets arising from employee benefits see IAS 19 Employee Benefits ;e financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 32 Financial Instruments.f investment property that is measured at fair value see IAS 40 Investment Property ;g biological assets related to agricultural activity that are measured at fair value less costs to sell see IAS 41 Agriculture ;h deferred acquisition costs, and intangible assets, arising from an insurer’s contractual r ights under insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts; andi non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.3. This Standard does not apply to inventories, assets arising from construction contracts, deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, or assets classified as held for sale or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale, because existing IFRSs applicable to these assets contain requirements for recognising andmeasuring these assets.4. This Standard applies to financial assets classified as:a subsidiaries, as defined in IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements;b associates, as defined in IAS 28 Investments in Associates; andc joint ventures, as defined in IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures.For impairment of other financial assets, refer to IAS 39.5. This Standard does not apply to financial assets within the scope of IFRS 9, investment property measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 40, or biological assets related to agricultural activity measured at fair value less costs to sell in accordance with IAS 41. However, this Standard applies to assets that are carried at revalued amount ie fair value in accordance with other IFRSs, such as the revaluation model in IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment. Identifying whether a revalued asset may be impaired depends on the basis used to determine fair value:a if the asset’s fair value is its market value, the only difference between the asset’s fair value and its fair value less costs to sell is the direct incremental costs to dispose of the asset:i if the disposal costs are negligible, the recoverable amount of the revalued asset is necessarily close to, or greater than, its revalued amount ie fair value . In this case, after the revaluation requirements have been applied, it is unlikely that the revalued asset is impaired andrecoverable amount need not be estimated.ii if the disposal costs are not negligible, the fair value less costs to sell of the revalued asset is necessarily less than its fair value. Therefore, the revalued asset will be impaired if its value in use is less than its revalued amount ie fair value . In this case, after the revaluation requirements have been applied, an entity applies this Standard to determine whether the asset may be impaired.b if the asset s fair value is determined on a basis other than its market value,its revalued amount ie fair value may be greater or lower than its recoverable amount. Hence, after the revaluation requirements have been applied, an entity applies this Standard to determine whether the asset may be impaired.Definitions6. The following terms are used in this Standard with the meanings specified:Carrying amount is the amount at which an asset is recognised after deducting any accumulated depreciation amortisation and accumulated impairment losses thereon.A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.Corporate assets are assets other than goodwill that contribute tothe future cash flows of both the cash-generating unit under review and other cash-generating units.Costs of disposal are incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset or cash-generating unit, excluding finance costs and income tax expense.Depreciable amount is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost in the financial statements, less its residual value.Depreciation Amortisation is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life.Fair value less costs to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset or cash-generating unit in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal.An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.Useful life is either:a the period of time over which an asset is expected to be used by the entity; orb the number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by the entity.Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expectedto be derived from an asset or cash-generating unit.Identifying an asset that may be impaired7. Paragraphs 8 17 specify when recoverable amount shall be determined. These requirements use the term ‘an asset’ but apply equally to an individual asset or a cash-generating unit. The remainder of this Standard is structured as follows:a paragraphs 18 57 set out the requirements for measuring recoverable amount. These requirements also use the term ‘an asset’ but apply equally to an individual asset and a cash-generating unit.b paragraphs 58 108 set out the requirements for recognising and measuring impairment losses. Recognition and measurement of impairment losses for individual assets other than goodwill are dealt with in paragraphs 58 64.Paragraphs 65 108 deal with the recognition and measurement of impairment losses for cash-generating units and goodwill.In the case of an intangible asset, the term ‘amortisation’ is generally used instead of ‘depreciation’. The two terms have the same meaning.c paragraphs 109 116 set out the requirements for reversing an impairment loss recognised in prior periods for an asset or a cash-generating unit. Again, these requirements use the term ‘an asset’ but apply equally to an individual asset or a cash-generating unit.Additional requirements for an individual asset are set out in paragraphs 117 121, for a cash-generating unit in paragraphs 122 and 123, and for goodwill in paragraphs 124 and 125.d paragraphs 126 133 specify the information to be disclosed about impairment losses and reversals of impairment losses for assets and cash-generating units. Paragraphs 134 137 specify additional disclosure requirements for cash-generating units to which goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives have been allocated for impairment testing purposes.8. An entity shall assess at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the entity shall estimate the recoverable amount of the asset.9. In assessing whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, an entity shall consider, as a minimum, the following indications:External sources of informationa during the period, an asset’s market value has declined significantly more than would be expected as a result of the passage of time or normal use;b significant changes with an adverse effect on the entity have taken place during the period, or will take place in the near future, inthe technological, market, economic or legal environment in which the entity operates or in the market to which an asset is dedicated;c market interest rates or other market rates of return on investments have increased during the period, and those increases are likely to affect the discount rate used in calculating an asset’s value in use and decrease the asset’s recoverable amount materially;d the carrying amount of the net assets of the entity is more than its market capitalisation.Internal sources of informatione evidence is available of obsolescence or physical damage of an asset.f significant changes with an adverse effect on the entity have taken place during the period, or are expected to take place in the near future, in the extent to which, or manner in which, an asset is used or is expected to be used. These changes include the asset becoming idle, plans to discontinue or restructure the operation to which an asset belongs, plans to dispose of an asset before the previously expected date, and reassessing the useful life of an asset as finite rather than indefinite.g evidence is available from internal reporting that indicates that the economic performance of an asset is, or will be, worse than expected.10. The list in paragraph 9 is not exhaustive. An entity may identifyother indications that an asset may be impaired and these would also require the entity to determine the asset’s recoverable amount.13 Evidence from internal reporting that indicates that an asset may be impaired includes the existence of:a cash flows for acquiring the asset, or subsequent cash needs for operating or maintaining it, that are significantly higher than those originally budgeted;b actual net cash flows or operating profit or loss flowing from the asset that are significantly worse than those budgeted;c a significant decline in budgeted net cash flows or operating profit, or a significant increase in budgeted loss, flowing from the asset;d operating losses or net cash outflows for the asset, when current period amounts are aggregated with budgeted amounts for the future.12. The concept of materiality applies in identifying whether the recoverable amount of an asset needs to be estimated. For example, if previous calculations show that an asset’ s recoverable amount is significantly greater than its carrying amount, the entity need not re-estimate the asset’ s recoverable amount if no events have occurred that would eliminate that difference. Similarly, previous analysis may show that an asset’s recoverable amount is not sensitive to one or more of the indications listed in paragraph 9.13 As an illustration of paragraph 12, if market interest rates or other market rates of return on investments have increased during the period, an entity is not required to make a formal estimate of an asset’ s recoverable amount in the following cases:a if the discount rate used in calculating the asset’ s value in use is unlikely to be affected by the increase in these market rates. For example, increases in short-term interest rates may not have a material effect on the discount rate used for an asset that has a long remaining useful life; orb if the discount rate used in calculating the asset’ s value in use is likely to be affected by the increase in these market rates but previous sensitivity analysis of recoverable amount shows that:i it is unlikely that there will be a material decrease in recoverable amount because future cash flows are also likely to increase eg in some cases, an entity may be able to demonstrate that it adjusts its revenues to compensate for any increase in market rates ; or ii the decrease in recoverable amount is unlikely to result in a material impairment loss.14. If there is an indication that an asset may be impaired, this may indicate that the remaining useful life, the depreciation amortisation method or the residual value for the asset needs to be reviewed and adjusted in accordance with the Standard applicable to the asset, evenif no impairment loss is recognised for the asset.From：IAS36，Impairment of Assets[S].译文：《国际会计准则第36号-资产减值》目的本准则的目的是，规定企业用以确保其资产以不超过可收回价值的金额进行计量的程序。

内部会计控制外文翻译

Private Enterprises of the intenal control issuesPulin ChangEconomic Review. 2008, (5)Third, the promotion of private SMEs in the internal control system strategy(A) change management and business owners the concept of development. The majority of private small and medium enterprises in the family business, the success of these enterprises depends largely on internal control or entrepreneur leadership attention and level of implementation. Over the years, by traditional Chinese culture, business owners believe in Sincerity, fraternal loyalty permeate many aspects of enterprise management, strengthen internal controls that will affect the organization the members of distrust, resulting in internal control. Many private business owners that rely on business to do business benefits out of, rather than out of the internal financial management control; that the market is the most important internal control will be bound himself and staff development. Understanding of the bias, so that these leaders neglected the internal control system on the production and operation activities. Internal control can really become the leader of the internal needs of enterprise internal control system is the key to whether a mere formality. The internal control to make the internal needs of the enterprise depends largely on two points: First, determine whether the company financial information in decision-making; second is whether a company's financial information by providing a true win the trust of the community. Improved treatment of the risks of private SMEs leader's attitude and risk control methods, transform their attitudes on internal control, internal control Jiang Hua Yi Shi, Tigao internal control concepts, Jiang enterprise management control system among financial people can promote the business management of Kexue process andsustainable development, in order to effectively establish and implement internal control.(B) improve the quality of enterprise internal control system actors. In recent years, the ideological education of the private SME accountants, business training delayed, some do not have the qualifications of family members, relatives and friends was scheduled for accounting jobs, lack of knowledge of the internal control system. Although there are some companies internal control system, internal control system is not comprehensive and did not cover all the departments and personnel, not to penetrate the enterprise operating various business fields and in all sectors. Lack of effective inter-sectoral coordination and restraint, often resulted in disjointed management. Internal control system is the corporate business units or personnel in the business formation process of mutual influence and mutual restriction of a dynamic mechanism, is a control function of a variety of methods, measures and procedures in general, it is not equivalent to the regulations system, not the same as internal management, but not the organizational plan. Effective internal controls to the premise, the key is the internal control system as the main body of the manager and staff. "Man" is the subject of internal control behavior, failure of internal control, risk management, accounting, production risks are related to. Enterprises in the same time improve the internal control system to deal with the accounting staff of professional ethics education, Zeng Qiang accounting staff capacity to self-restraint; to strengthen professional training for accounting personnel to enhance the ability to work to reduce technical errors in the accounting business processes.(C) improve the external environment for enterprise development, improve the internal control inputs. As the external environment for SME Development of the poor, the main energy-consuming business executivesoutside the firm, engage in social relations outside the firm to expand living space, focus on the market, run funds, no time to take into account the internal control issues. Enterprise to its survival and development, in order to achieve social capital and government departments have to coordinate relations in the expenditures. Through follow-up entrepreneurs and existing growing social network for all kinds of resources into the development of private small and medium business and follow the basic conditions, so that business leaders will invest a lot of human and financial resources outside the firm. Changing functions of government departments to improve the SME Development of the external environment, reduce the business and development costs, limited resources make it possible to achieve the internal control objectives. Development of private small and medium enterprises should gradually improve the internal control inputs, efforts to increase the effectiveness of internal control.(D) establish an effective monitoring mechanism to ensure the effective implementation of the internal control system. To ensure effective internal control system was implemented, and performs well, it must be oversight. Enterprises should set up internal audit body or an internal control self-assessment system, to strengthen the internal control monitoring and evaluation, to detect vulnerabilities and risks, and On the emergence of new problems and new situations and internal control implementation of the weak link in a timely manner Xiuzheng or improvement. To strengthen supervision, including the Government of China has formed a social supervision, including supervision and monitoring system outside the enterprise. However, these monitoring systems on the private monitoring results are not satisfactory for SMEs, China's private enterprises accounting standard system is not perfect. Review report, the emphasis on technical errors and not pay attention to the authenticityof the report, submitted false information, lack of accountability and punishment. Absence of government supervision and government departments of information are independent, objective accounting practices of private enterprise free rein. External oversight of private enterprises is the absence of other social supervision of absence. Social supervision mainly to accounting firms accounting for the main intermediary agencies. As the current audit of the business community not involved in private enterprise, the law has not clearly defined annual accounting statements of private enterprises must be audited by certified public accountants, together with private enterprise financial management confusion, internal control weakness, so that certified public accountants and accounting firms reluctant to engage in private corporate audit. Only by strengthening external oversight, external oversight of the corporate pressure, and this pressure into motive force, and urge enterprises to implement internal accounting control system to eliminate the internal control system of nominal happen.(V) improve corporate governance mechanisms, clear management responsibilities. Internal control by the authorities as to achieve management objectives and establish a series of rules, policies, and organize the implementation of procedures, and corporate governance and corporate governance are inseparable. Internal control framework and corporate governance mechanisms of the internal management control system and system environment. Considerable part of private SMEs in China are individual, private sector, while investors in enterprises that operators of centralized leadership is serious business. Ownership and management a high degree of unified management model management of private SMEs lack the internal binding. Although some form of private SMEs in the establishment of the board of supervisors, but the real corporate governance institutions are not in place, the lack of authorization andsupervision. Some cost savings of private SMEs often do not set the internal control agencies or hypothetical narrow connotation of internal control.民营中小企业内部控制问题研究蒲林昌经济纵横.2008,(5)三、促进民营中小企业建立内控制度的策略(一)转变企业所有者的管理与发展观念.民营中小企业中家族式企业居多，这些企业内部控制的成败很大程度上取决于领导或企业家的重视和执行程度.长期以来，受中国传统文化的影响，企业主笃信以诚待人，江湖义气渗透到企业管理的诸多环节，认为加强内部控制，会影响组织内部成员的不信任感，因而导致企业内部失控.不少民营企业主认为企业效益是靠业务做出来的，而不是由内部财务管理管出来的；认为市场才是最重要的，内部控制会束缚自己及员工的发展.认识上的偏差，使这些领导者忽视了内部控制制度对生产经营活动的作用.内部控制能否真正成为领导者的内在需求，是企业内部控制制度能否流于形式的关键.而要使内部控制成为企业的内在需求，主要取决于两点：一是财务信息是否决定着企业的决策；二是企业是否通过提供真实的财务信息取信于社会.改进民营中小企业领导者对待风险的态度和控制风险的方法，转变其对内部控制的态度，强化内部控制意识，提高内部控制理念，将控制制度融人企业管理之中，才能促进企业管理的科学化进程和持续发展，从而有效建立和实施内部控制.(二)提高企业内控制度行为主体素质.近年来，民营中小企业财会人员的思想教育、业务培训滞后，一些不具备从业资格的家庭成员、亲戚朋友被安排在财会工作岗位，缺乏内部控制制度的相关知识.有些企业虽然存在内部控制制度，但内部控制制度不全面，没有覆盖所有的部门和人员，没有渗透到企业各个业务领域和各个操作环节.部门间缺乏有效的协调和牵制，往往造成管理脱节.内控制度是企业各业务部门或人员，在业务运作过程中形成的相互影响、相互制约的一种动态机制，是具有控制功能的各种方式、措施及程序的总称，它绝不等同于规章制度，也不等同于内部管理，更不是组织计划.内部控制要以有效为前提，其关键是作为内控制度主体的经理和员工.“人”是内部控制行为的主体，企业内部控制失效，经营风险、会计风险的产生，均与之有关.企业在完善内部控制制度的同时，应对会计人员进行职业道德教育，增强会计人员自我约束能力；加强对会计人员的业务培训，以提高工作能力，减少会计业务处理的技术差错.(三)改善企业发展的外部环境，提高内部控制投入.由于民营中小企业发展的外部环境较差，企业负责人主要精力耗费在企业之外，搞社会关系、拓展企业外部生存空间，抓市场、跑资金，无暇顾及内部控制问题.企业为了其存活与发展，为了取得社会资本不得不在与政府部门的协调关系方面发生大量支出.通过创业者已有的和后续不断发展的社会关系网络获取各种资源成为民营中小企业创业和后续发展的基本条件，这样，企业领导者将大量的人力和财力投入企业之外.转变政府部门职能，改善民营中小企业发展的外部环境，降低其创业和发展成本，使其在有限的资源下尽可能地实现内部控制目标.发展中的民营中小企业应逐渐提高内部控制投入，努力增加内部控制的效益.(四)建立有效的监督机制，确保内部控制制度有效实施.要确保内部控制制度被切实地执行，且执行效果良好，其必须被监督.企业应设置内部审计机构或建立内部控制自我评估系统，加强对本企业内部控制的监督和评估，及时发现漏洞和隐患，并针对出现的新问题和新情况及内部控制执行中的薄弱环节，及时修正或改进.为加强监督，我国已形成了包括政府监督和社会监督在内的企业外部监督体系.但这些监督体系对民营中小企业的监督效果却不尽如人意，我国民营企业会计规范体系还不健全.审查报表时，偏重于技术上的差错而不注重报表的真实性，缺少对报送虚假信息的责任追究与惩罚措施.政府监督的缺位和政府各有关部门信息的相互独立，客观上使民营企业会计行为放任自流.民营企业外在监督的另一种缺位是社会监督的缺位.社会监督主要由以会计师事务所为主体的会计中介机构执行.由于目前社会审计的业务尚未涉及到民营企业，法律上尚未明确规定民营企业年度会计报表必须经注册会计师审计，加之民营企业财务管理混乱、内控乏力，使注册会计师及会计师事务所不愿意从事民营企业审计工作.只有加强外部监督，通过外部监督对企业施加压力，并将这种压力转化为动力，督促企业实施内部会计控制制度，以杜绝企业内控制度形同虚设的情况发生.(五)完善企业的公司治理机制，明晰管理权责.内部控制作为由管理当局为实现管理目标而建立的一系列规则、政策和组织实施程序，与公司治理及公司管理密不可分.内部控制框架与公司治理机制的关系是内部管理监控系统与制度环境的关系.我国民营中小企业中相当一部分属于个体、私营性质，企业的投资者同时就是经营者，企业领导集权现象严重.所有权与经营权高度统一的管理模式使民营中小企业管理缺乏内部约束性.有的民营中小企业形式上虽然也建立了董事会、监事会，但真正的法人治理机构并未到位，缺乏授权与监管.有些民营中小企业为节减开支，往往不设置内控机构或虚设，内部控制的内涵也较窄.On the internal control system in ChinaLi MingMarket Modernization.2007, (22)3. Strengthen the internal control system should regulate the main content In establishing the socialist market economic system and deepen the process of accounting reform in enterprises to comply with accounting standards should be based on the reality of the units to establish and improve accounting and strengthen their own sets of accounting policiesand accounting management control system. Of these accounting policies and accounting control system should be made to the provisions of this written text not only help enterprises understand the personnel matters of daily accounting policies and methods. Also conducive to a coherent corporate accounting policies.(A) clearly defined economic and business deal with the division of responsibilities and procedural methodsEnterprise's internal organization is the enterprise to plan economic activity. Organizational foundation for command and control. The core problem is that a reasonable division of responsibilities. In general economic and business address of each whole process, or in the whole process a few important links are provided to two departments or two or more departments, two or division of responsibility over the staff played the role of mutual control. such as money remittance document procurement, provides for the procurement managers, please fill out a single paragraph. Supply planner (or supply department), please review the amount of content and collection units shall comply with Taiwan and Taiwan are the same and plans, accountants, paragraph one, please review the contents and preparation of payment vouchers after checking procurement budget.

The procurement of remittances reimbursement business provides to After purchasing managers reported complete the bill. Delivery of goods to transportation personnel. Storekeeper acceptance quantity, the quality of inspectors and accountants audit inspection invoices, bills and acceptance certificates, preparation of journal vouchers for reimbursement.(B) clear division of assets and custody of recordsRequirements as money management Property Management account of correlation personnel, designed to protect the safety integrity of assets. 如 teller may not concurrently in charge of auditing, accounting and income archiving costs, the registration of credit and debt accounts, bank notes of the issuing stamp , there must be two were headed to the bank to withdraw large amounts of cash must be by two or more of the recipients, inspection of the entire process of database security were jointly responsible. A breakdown of storage materials to the designated persons or a separate audit bookkeeper bookkeeping. Control of money and material management. Management accounts staff to leave their posts for some reason or transfer work to provide competent leadership to designate a person or a successor agent and monitoring procedures for completing the necessary transfer or transfer list. Another. The review of cash-based system of material balance system for sending and receiving complex, complex points system, also are a variety of measures against the wrong system of internal controls.(C) clear that the accounting documents and accounting records to ensure completeness and accuracy requirementsMade to the original documents in various formats, number of copies, number, delivery process, the Alliance leaders and managers use the signature, details the number of total number and case with the same number of buildings such as the provisions made for the kinds of books and records of account card required to maintain a certain unity between the same or requirements. Also provided accounting double check details check the balance of the various statements related to digital check. And hence the provisions of the internal audit system.(D) explicitly provides for the establishment of property inventory system inventoryTo ensure the safety and integrity of production materials, in additionto the provisions of material goods for collection and payment of each custodian must implement the perpetual inventory method after checking the accounts and inventory, but also provides property, inventory and supplies a comprehensive inventory of the local system. To ensure that card accounts are in conformity with or timely processing error occurred. In addition to the provisions of the cash the cashier check out before work each day count cash in case of error in time reporting, the accounting officer should always check cashier work.

Master's thesis, University of LondonInformation technology and accounting management with the use is the relevant value of information analysis and use, and various factors of production based on the value creation of corporate accounting and management contributions to the study of accounting will be the main content. No use of information technology, there is any enterprise information and accounting information to promote the implementation of value chain management will lose technical support, there is no theory of innovation value chain management, accounting, and information technology development, there is no power. In this paper, the meaning of information to start, leads to the meaning of accounting information, accounting information describes the development process, the second part of the analysis of the status quo of accounting information, analysis of its use in theproblems, the third part of the proposed accounting information on the implementation of the strategic analysis.Keywords: accounting, information technology strategyI. Introduction(A) BackgroundThe development of accounting information in China has gone through more than 20 years, accounting information theory and practical application of talent, the accounting information system software has gradually matured, and, and theproduction, supply and marketing, human resources management, cost control and other aspects of the formation of an integrated management information system software. But the company found accounting information in the status of the development of enterprises is extremely uneven, a lot of strength and standardized management of large enterprises have been using the integrated accounting information system "ERP" is the management software, and the introduction of new ideas with the value of the supply chain management chain management system, and also the majority of the total business is still in the initial stage of the use of computerized accounting, or even manually. Enterprise management is still in the coexistence of traditional and modern, our corporate accounting information so early, the senior co-existence of the phenomenon will not surprise. Accounting information must be improved to facilitate the management of change. The essence of the value chain to value chain to implement the core business processes node changes, if companies choose the value chain as the core business process change, business management will enable a major step forward, it promotes corporate accounting development of information technology.(B) SignificanceWhile accounting information in China's time is not long, its nature and content to be further studied, but it is undeniable, with the advent of the information society, accounting, information technology will be an irresistible inevitable trend of the accounting information The current accounting both in theory and in practice will have a huge impact.First, to achieve after the accounting information, accounting information system will truly become a business management information system, a subsystem. The business enterprise is able to automatically capture the enterprise's internal and external information related to accounting, and together with the company's internal accounting information system for real-time processing. Accounting from the limitations of traditional accounting afterwards freed, and thus play a greater management control of accounting functions, business and information so that users can readily use the corporate accounting information to the business of the future financial situation to make a reasonable forecast, management and development of enterprises to make the right decisions. Second, the accounting assumptions, in particular, is no longer the traditional accounting entity with real money and plant business, it will include some of the online virtual companies and network companies,which for the common goal, in short time together, when the completion of specificgoals will soon dissolve, and its continuing operations, accounting, staging and monetary measures the basic premise of all will be affected. Implementation of accounting information, the enterprise network and external networks to achieve the Internet, users of accounting information can always obtain the relevant accounting information. Comprehensive application of information technology has greatly improved the timeliness of the information, the predictive value of information and feedback is also greatly enhance the value of information flow is also much faster, can contribute positively to the improvement of economic management. Other accounting information systems through direct access to relevant data and analysis, reducing theman-made fraud, thus greatly improving the reliability of accounting information and the quality of information.Third, today's accounting software processes basically simulate manual accounting processes and design. Implementation of accounting information, the accounting system is no longer isolated, but with a real-time processing, highly automated system, which with other business systems and external connections, you can directly read data from other systems, and a series of processing, processing, storage and transmission. Accounting reports can also be used for real-time electronic means associated newspaper report, the user can always obtain useful accounting information for decision-making, improve efficiency, promote economic development.21st century will be an information-oriented society, today's society is the "knowledge economy" era forward, In today's competitive environment, the accounting officer must not only well versed in the basic principles of accounting, computerized accounting techniques to master , but also learn some sense of organization, behavioral factors, decision-making process and communication technology and other aspects of the basic theory. Accounting information representsnew accounting ideas and concepts, the traditional accounting theory and modern information technology, network technology, a combination of product development is the inevitable trend of modern accounting. It must seize opportunities, meet challenges, and strive to promote the development of China's accounting information.II An overview of the accounting information(A) the meaning of informationBegan in the 1940s wave of information technology, beginning aroused great attention in all aspects, from the 1960s, scholars began to have "information" and "information society" and so on. 1963 Japanese scholars Tidal plum out in its "Information Industry science" for the first time that "information technology" concept. As information technology there is not long, the actual development and very rapid development of information society itself changes, the understanding of information technology are not the same. For example, "information is the communication of modern, computer and rationalize the general term", "information is computerized, modern communication and network technology", "information is e-commerce" and "information is computerized," " information is information technology and information industry in the economic and social development andplay a leading role in increasing the process ", and so on. Information technologyrevolution and the industrial revolution is the result of information from the three aspects, namely, the digitization of information, information networks, information and intelligent. "Digital information is the basis of information, the information network is the basic characteristics of information technology, information, and information technology is the development of intelligent features."(B) The information content of accountingThe concept of accounting information in 2000, the Shenzhen Municipal Finance Bureau and the Shenzhen Kingdee Software Technology Co., Ltd in Shenzhen's "new situation, management accounting software market, Information Theory Symposiumaccounting expert forum" on the make is the accounting computerized product development to a new stage. Theoretical understanding of information technology sector have different views, such as technical concept, the process concept, elements and outlook, and thus the concept of accounting information will have a different set, HU Ran star of accounting information as defined by the use of more the status quo. "Accounting information is based on the system in the enterprise of science, management science, application of modern information technology, integration of enterprise business processes and accounting processes, the establishment of accounting information systems; full development and use of accounting information resources, timely and accurate to the enterprise internal and external users of accounting information to provide useful support to strengthen the role of accounting to reflect and monitor the overall process. "As can be seen from this statement, the accounting information is the process of concept, it conveys such meanings: First, the means of access to information networks, communications and databases; Second, business processes and accounting processes to be re- whole, to better reflect the timeliness of information provided; third-to-business cash flow, physical flow and information flow throughout theimplementation of real-time control; Fourth, the spatial extent of the accounting information to expand information coverage, including information and currency non-monetary information internal information and external information, and so on. Professor Yang Zhou Nan the study of accounting information has its own unique, she will be introduced to the theory of value chain management accounting information in the field, made a "value chain management, accounting, information technology," the new concept, and that the "value chain management accounting information is the value chain to achieve important environmental accounting management and technology base. " And discussed the value chain management accounting information in the target location, technology platform, business process management models, standards, audit system, and in ten areas of change. Expand the meaning of accounting information.(C) The development of accounting information1 era of computerized accountingFunding from the Ministry of Finance in 1978, Chinches First Automobile Works began a pilot computerized accounting, accounting information in China's development has gone through more than 20 years, in its early stage of developmentthat the era of computerized accounting, computer applications accounting in the accounting field to produce a major change, the accounting staff work from reimbursement heavy afterwards freed, so that participants are management accounting staff time, improve the quality of accounting information and timeliness of the initial training of accounting software boom market, develop a group of composite talent, creating a number of accounting software company, to the standardization of computerized accounting, commercial, universal, professional development, and for corporate information and provide a good experience, and promote enterprise management software development. But the rapid development of modern information technology on the traditional computerized accounting system had a tremendousimpact on the theoretical basis of accounting, the timeliness of accounting reports and other challenges. Xiao ravioli the traditional computerized accounting of the main problems are summarized as follows: "First, the traditional manual accounting, computerized accounting simulation only, although the financial accounting software to improve the efficiency and quality of accounting information, but accounting processing procedures and methods are basically just a set of procedures to move the hand up the computer; Second, the traditional accounting information system is the internal information 'islands' in the computerized implementation, financial data and business can not be shared, resulting in confined to the financial sector financial software to use, and internal business units are not well connected. other departments can not directly access to financial data; Third, the traditional accounting information system and outside the enterprise information system isolation and all business transactions or to open by hand, according to the paper documents the first, and then entered into the computer; Fourth, the traditional accounting information system lags behind the development of modern information technology now INTERNET-INTRANET technology has reached the stage that we can not imagine, if we are still deal with isolated cases of the PC, then the business of managementdecision-making, budgeting, investment and production decisions will be errors due to insufficient amount of information; the fifth, only in the most traditional computerized accounting electronic data processing stage. China's implementation of accounting computing of the unit, most just use computerized accounting basic accounting, and a large number of financial management and financial analysis, is still a manual process; the sixth, in place of traditional computerized software development, function is not fully, to use the resulting inconvenient. "(2) Accounting information ageWhen the network technology and the maturity of domestic accounting software, financial, and timely exchange of business data has a technical support, and therefore the accounting information age has arrived. 2000, accounting information theorists first proposed the term is, and has been widely recognized. This reference is to the service management functions of accounting on the present and future information environment into account, is changing attitudes, is to seek greater development. Accounting information on the target even pay attention to accounting in business management on the central role; more dependent on the technology of modern network technology; focus on the functional areas of management accountinginformation and decision analysis; status in the system as a management systemintegral part; in the information transmission on the basis of authorization to acquire or output the information in the internal and external systems.Time accounting information more open and diversity. Openness is the high degree of sharing of accounting information resources, large amounts of data information between the departments within the enterprise, between enterprises within the group and between groups and external corporate unlimited or limited authorization of information exchange. Diversity performance of accounting information is no longer a single financial account table data, but also a lot of non-monetary forms of information; is no longer the only direct data or after a simplesummary of the data, but also includes many qualitative and quantitative analysis after can respond to different information needs of those recycling information; not only by Rose-year tradition of staging statistics accounting information, more of a point in time information, that is its real-time.Third, the use of accounting information Analysis(A) the status of the use of accounting informationImplementation of information technology in business process, the software provider to the enterprise managers have always praised their own software in the technical structure and how the information model is refined, is how the demand for enterprise management, and that enterprises should make what change in order to play the software management functions. But it did, most did not use information technology for the enterprise software providers to create the initial promised value. Even companies and managers think that the use of information systems management in the past rigid, not as labor management more convenient and flexible. This information management system is a failure of management systems; it is only concerned about the use of technology, while ignoring the way people access to information and requirements. U.S. information technology specialist Thomas. H •Davenport claims, in order to change the unsatisfactory status of information technology, must be people-oriented principle. Effective information management must first focus on how people think about the application of information, rather than how to use the machine. In people-oriented information management strategy, the reality of diversity to be concerned about the information; to emphasize the effective use of information and wide sharing; to make information technology solutions to solve current practical problems; to allow for different interpretations of the same message; to that enterprises to obtain the desired effect is considered the ultimate success; to specific problems to establish the appropriate structure; to promote and strengthen the method by adjusting the behavior of members of the organization; to the user's need to design their own applications. Body belongs to large enterprises, has been large-scale enterprise management, and financial strength. Before the introduction of the enterprise, there are three companies will have to implement ERP management system, and is part of the implementation of these enterprises are large-scale department stores and supermarket chains. Both with 16 companies have at least one financial software business management software companies, one of the six companies of the business management software such as inventory managementsoftware and financial software to achieve the integration, these companies are outside the supermarket. Local department stores and supermarket chains do little to achieve integration.Large supermarket chains in spite of the ERP management system, but and foreign retail giants such as Wal-Mart, Carrefour, B & Q, in comparison, China's domestic retail business of information technology still in its infancy. For example, Wal-Mart is the first use of computers to track inventory in retail enterprises (1969), is the earliest use of bar code (1980), the use of EDI with suppliers for better coordination (1985), launch its own communication satellite (1986) and use the wireless scanning guns (late 1980s) of retail companies. Now, Wal-Mart is the world'smost spare no effort to implement RFID Technology Company. Our domestic retail enterprises and applications providers are basically in a bystander.(B) The use of accounting information the problems1 lack of capital investmentAccording to the survey, not the type of business is accounting information in capital investment are also significant differences, in general, in terms of information technology also significantly less capital investment. Some small retail businesses, especially those franchise retail stores, its turnover of 100 million or less, the profit of 10 million or less. These companies invest in information technology capital is almost zero. For example, there is a franchise of computer accessories supplies store, operated by no less than one thousand kinds of varieties of goods, commodities Invoicing also only manual bookkeeping, the occurrence of errors is often a matter, but in a short time do not want to invest in this area. Manager believes that the purchase of small Invoicing software is several thousand to more than a million, do not necessarily apply to buy back their own and do not find someone to develop such talent. This situation represents the general attitude of some small businesses. Some of the economic benefits of better information technology in the retail business is also aserious shortage of capital investment. Local department store is a large-scale, high-profile retailer, sales of 4 billion last year, more than 300 million annual profit. This year is expected to increase by 1 million sales. So far the company has a network version of the UF of a financial accounting software and a software company developing your inventory management software, for a total capital of less than 30 million, if $ 1 million plus investment in hardware terms, the company's information construction accounts for the year total investment capital ratio of .325% of sales. According to statistics, the total number of enterprises in China accounted for 99.6% of the 40 million SMEs, of which 74% of enterprise information into sales revenue accounted for less than 1%, usually abroad, 2% -3%. Defined in accordance with the latest standards for SMEs to divide, retail enterprises with annual sales of more than 150 million people or more than 500 the number of workers should belong to large-scale retail enterprises. In other words, the department stores are large retail companies, invested in information technology should be more than 1% of the funds, but the fact is much lower than the ratio. From the survey found the same with the size of the retail mall business investment in information technology is basically the same proportion.(2) For their own interests and resist cooperation with upstream and downstreambusinessesSome retailers believe that if the composition of upstream and downstream enterprises and their value chain, then this value chain to increase the total value is given, other means to make their own alliance to get more companies will get less. Therefore, the value chain between the various value chains Alliance is a competitive relationship. In such a concept under the guidance of the retail business is often not the whole value chain from the perspective of value-added, but rather in order to pursue their own interests at the expense of maximizing the interests of the entire value chain. Therefore, in the retail business and corporate transactions in theupstream, suppliers repeatedly lower prices, even the ones who enjoy the suppliers as their main source of profit; the supplier is to conceal their true costs, even as the retail price increases in disguise counterattack. The two sides are not creating value chain from the overall effectiveness of view, but to build their own profit loss in the value chain based on the Alliance. This is clearly not the goal of value chain management. Retailers should change their ideas, we must seek to maximize their own interests into the overall interests of the pursuit of maximizing the value chain, and clear corporate profits should manage to get through the value chain, value chain, rather than from the body to acquire Alliance.Other retailers do not want their business data, or other important sales information and customer information available to the supplier, even if the enterprise also needs to control access rights, let alone to disclose outside the enterprise. This deep-rooted tradition of understanding between suppliers and retailers so that the lack of a good spirit of cooperation. The basic goal of value chain management is the management process by improving the transparency of the entire value chain to improve the efficiency of resource allocation and profit levels, sharing of information resources. This will not only make the core of the value chain within the enterpriseand value chain alliances between enterprises can receive timely, flexible and actionable information resources to enable them to fully grasp the value chain cooperation between the Alliance information, market information, other business decision-making information, but also enables the company starting from the global value chain to arrange production and services.Management rather than the promoterLearned in the survey had had some local retailers, accounting information for what is not understood, was 67.19% in visitors who do not know what is accounting information, never heard of value chain management, the company has implemented a complete information technology solutions tend to say, very often referred to our information management staff to answer. Managers of these companies as the information because of competitive pressures is a helpless and passive choice, their knowledge of information technology know much, but not condescending and general staff to receive formal training, and such of the lack of knowledge of information technology initiative to accept the manager's attitude will inevitably lead to the loss of authority in this regard, they naturally will not be a promoter of information technology, and will be the task entrusted to the information management staff.Regardless of the information management company executives in the company'sposition that tall, and its authority is inferior to general manager, when stakeholders hinder the process of information, the information management staff had no ability to advance the information technology revolution. In addition, information management staffs are often professional and technical personnel, their lack of business knowledge and management capabilities, enterprise information process will be based more on business instead of computer hardware and software technical problems. In this case, information management will become powerless. If you rely on information technology to promote information management, failure becomes inevitable.Positioned correctly in the accounting functions of informationOne view is that the accounting functions will be limited to record a variety of business information behind them, while in charge of foreign tax returns and financial statements submitted to the traditional. Hold this view tend to be small retail business managers. They see the accounting for tax accounting and treasury accounting, they need to get that information from the accounting major is the number of day and monthly cash flow to pay the tax number. For the case of commodity stocks more business managers to ask, but regardless of the amount of inventory accounting and inventory carrying costs. This is because much small retail business to avoid taxes from the perspective of the book to create a false inventory, accounting, accounts payable data is the tax department. Based on this purpose, the managers of these enterprises will not consider business management systems and financial accounting system for data sharing.
