英国会计准则包括一系列具体的会计处理方法和披露要求,涵盖了企业的资产、负债、收入、费用等各个方面。

二、英国会计准则的发展历程英国会计准则的发展历程可以追溯到 20 世纪初,当时主要依赖于各类会计职业团体发布的指导性文件。

随着经济的发展和会计职业化程度的提高,英国会计准则逐渐形成了以英国会计准则委员会(Accounting Standards Board,简称 ASB)为核心的制定体系。

ASB 成立于 1970 年,负责制定和修订会计准则,以适应市场经济的需求。

进入 21 世纪,英国会计准则又经历了一系列改革。

2005 年,英国政府成立了财务报告局(Financial Reporting Council,简称 FRC),取代了 ASB,成为英国会计准则的主要制定机构。

FRC 对会计准则的制定过程进行了改革,加强了与其他国家和地区会计准则制定机构的合作,推动了会计准则的国际化进程。

三、英国会计准则的特点英国会计准则具有以下特点:1.遵循国际会计准则:英国会计准则在很大程度上遵循了国际会计准则(International Financial Reporting Standards,简称 IFRS),力求与国际会计准则保持一致。

2.强调实质重于形式:英国会计准则强调企业应当根据经济实质进行会计处理,而不仅仅是按照法律形式。

3.鼓励披露:英国会计准则鼓励企业充分披露与财务报告使用者相关的信息,以提高财务报告的透明度。

四、英国会计准则与我国会计准则的比较英国会计准则与我国会计准则在很多方面存在相似之处,但在一些具体处理方法和披露要求上仍存在差异。

Cross-sectional variation in the economicconsequences of international accountingharmonization:The case of mandatory IFRSadoption in the UK ☆Hans B.Christensen,Edward Lee ⁎,Martin WalkerManchester

Accounting42(2007)341–3791.IntroductionThe mandatory adoption of IFRS1in the European Union(EU)is one of the largest regulatory experiments in financial reporting ever undertaken,and may eventually prove to be a vital step towards global GAAP harmonization.2The EU and European Economic Area(EEA)include30countries with integrated financial markets and more than7000 listed firms.Almost all EU/EEA listed firms are legally required to adopt IFRS in their consolidated statements no later than2005.3In this paper,we examine the economic consequences of mandatory IFRS adoption for United Kingdom(UK)listed firms.We study both the short-term price response to news about IFRS adoption,and the changes in the implied cost of equity for a large sample of firms between a date before the mandatory adoption was expected and a date by which mandatory adoption was effectively certain.The short-run share-price response and long-run implied cost of equity methods complement each other when testing the effect of mandatory IFRS adoption.The potential advantage of focusing on short-run abnormal returns is that we are able to isolate specific days when news affects all firms in the sample.The disadvantage is that it is reliant on precise identification of the event days.In particular it assumes that there has been no leakage of the policy deliberations to the market.Unfortunately the dates on which the probability of mandatory adoption of IFRS changed are debatable.In contrast,an advantage of using the implied cost of equity method is that it is not sensitive to the identification of specific dates—we simply exclude the period of uncertainty and test the difference between the implied cost of equity before and after the announcement period.However,the estimation of the implied cost of equity is also potentially problematic,because it is often difficult to control for all factors affecting the implied cost of equity over a long period of time.Thus we view the two methodologies as being complementary and we believe that their joint use should increase the robustness of our conclusions.We hypothesize that UK firms vary in their willingness to adopt IFRS,because the costs and benefits of IFRS adoption are likely to vary across firms.In terms of the literature on accounting choice,the decision to mandate IFRS for UK quoted firms was unusual in the sense that it cannot be simply portrayed as the imposition of a restriction on the accounting choices of UK firms.Prior to2005UK firms were not permitted to adopt IFRS for UK financial-reporting purposes.After2005,UK firms are not allowed to use pre-2005UK GAAP in their consolidated statements for financial reporting purposes.Thus the EU decision changed the choice set for UK firms by mandating a new set of rules for financial 1International Financial Reporting Standards(IFRS)is the name of accounting standards produced by the International Accounting Standards Board(IASB).2The EU's motive for adopting the regulation is the creation of a more transparent and efficient capital market that will facilitate a lower cost of capital for EU firms(EC16/06/2002).3EC16/06/2002requires all listed firms in a regulated market to comply with IFRS in their consolidated statements no later than2005unless they are listed in non-member state and have been using internationally accepted standards prior to September2002.Member countries can allow adoption to be postponed until2007for firms that comply with US-GAAP.The UK has decided not to use this option and all listed firms in a regulated market are,therefore,required to comply with IFRS from2005.reporting that some UK firms might have adopted voluntarily,if they had been given the choice.If UK firms had been given a choice between UK GAAP and IFRS it is logically possible that some would have chosen not to adopt IFRS,and some would have chosen to abandon UK GAAP in favor of IFRS.Thus it is possible that some UK firms would have been constrained by the EU's decision,while others would have been liberated.For the purposes of this paper we need a counter-factual proxy for what choices UK firms would have made,if they had been given an option to choose between UK GAAP and IFRS.One possibility,which we explore in this paper,is to exploit the information in the choices made by firms in an economy similar to the UK,but where firms had the choice to adopt IFRS before 2005.In particular Germany is a major EU economy that allowed early adoption of IFRS and that also experienced extensive early adoption.This combination of Germany and the UK as two major EU economies,but with very different IFRS adoption processes,produces a unique setting for testing the factors affecting the economic consequences of mandatory IFRS adoption.We hypothesize that the characteristics of voluntary/early adopters of IFRS or US-GAAP 4in an EU jurisdiction that allowed voluntary adoption of international accounting standards (IFRS or US-GAAP)might serve as a viable proxy for how UK firms might have behaved given the same choice.In particular we focus on the choices made by German firms.5In Germany,listed firms have had the option to choose between an international accounting regime (IFRS or US-GAAP)and domestic standards for their consolidated statements since 1998.6Economic theory predicts that firms committing to an international accounting regime are those that perceive the greatest net-benefit.We measure the degree of similarity to German voluntary adopters by estimating a logistic choice-model using German data and calculating the probability of voluntary adoption in the UK based on this model.We use the estimated probability of voluntary adoption from our model based on German firms as a counter-factual proxy for the probability of voluntary adoption by UK firms.The advantage of this approach is that it focuses on actual observed choices,there is no potential for response bias,and it is based on a large population of firms.The disadvantage of this approach is that the German GAAP and financial disclosure regime is not the same as UK GAAP.The choice between UK GAAP and IFRS for UK firms is not the same as the choice between German GAAP and IFRS for German firms.For example,German IFRS adopters will typically experience a greater leap in disclosure quality.Due to these differences one might expect two sets of determinants for firms'willingness to switch to IFRS,i.e.,one set that is common across both countries and another set that is country-4For brevity we describe German firms that comply with either IFRS or US-GAAP in 2002as voluntary adopters in this paper.5An alternative approach might be to ask firms directly what they might have done if they had been given a choice.However this approach is also problematic for the following reasons:1)firms may not know what they would have done given the choice,2)many firms may be unwilling to respond to the survey (typical response rates are 20–30%),3)some firms may not tell the truth.6In April 1998KapAEG was adopted in Germany allowing listed firms the option only to comply with either IFRS or US-GAAP in there consolidated statements.343H.B.Christensen et al./The International Journal of Accounting 42(2007)341–379344H.B.Christensen et al./The International Journal of Accounting42(2007)341–379 specific.For instance,factors that correlate with corporate governance may be less transferable from Germany to the UK.Convincing outside investors that the firm is committed to improved corporate governance may be an underlying motive that is more important to firms in Germany due to the ownership and legal system they operate in.The implications of this fact for our research design is that we run the risk of identifying some determinants from the German adopters that are not necessarily relevant to the UK firms, which would add noise and reduce the power of the tests based on the UK sample.Thus our analysis reports two sets of results for the UK.One set assumes that the choice model for the UK is the same as for Germany.The other set attempts to isolate the Germany-specific choice drivers from the common drivers.We find that the common-driver set produces consistent results both for implied cost of capital changes and for the short-run market responses.In both cases we find a significant positive cross-sectional association between the economic response to mandatory IFRS adoption and our counter-factual proxy for the probability of voluntary adoption by UK firms.The study makes two main contributions.First,understanding that the costs and benefits of IFRS adoption varies systematically across firms is important not only to countries that have already decided to make IFRS mandatory,but also to countries that are currently considering taking this step.7Second,the study also makes a novel methodological contribution,by showing that under certain circumstances the information contained in voluntary GAAP choices in one economy can predict the economic responses to a mandatory GAAP change in a similar economy.The remainder of the paper is organized as follows.Section2reviews the literature in the area and Section3develops the testable hypotheses of the paper.Section4describes the methodology and sample including the key dates that changed the likelihood of mandatory IFRS in the EU and the calculation of the counter-factual proxy for voluntary adoption in the UK.Section5presents the results and discusses the implications.Section6summarizes the paper.2.Literature review2.1.Voluntary adoptionUntil recently,empirical studies on the connection between GAAP changes and the cost of capital have focused on voluntary adoption of either IFRS or US-GAAP over domestic standards.The assumption is that the accounting regime affects the quality of information and that the quality of information in turn affects the cost of capital.One stream of research examines proxies for the cost of capital either within an event study around the adoption of IFRS or US-GAAP,or cross-sectionally between firms that have adopted IFRS or US-GAAP and firms that use local-GAAP.Leuz and Verrecchia (2000)and Leuz(2003)take this approach by examining bid/ask-spreads,trading volume7According to GAAP convergence(2002)over90%of the59countries surveyed intend to convert national standards to IFRS.and share price volatility as proxies for the information asymmetry component of the cost of capital.They find reduced information asymmetry when firms change from German GAAP (HGB)to either IFRS or US-GAAP,but no significant difference between IFRS and US-GAAP.Contrary to this conclusion,Daske (2006)finds no evidence of a reduced cost of capital when using both the residual-income valuation model and the Ohlson and Juettner-Nauroth (2005)abnormal earnings growth model to estimate the implied cost of equity.These three studies limit their sample to German firms,thus keeping the institutional settings constant.Cuijpers and Buijink (2005)use a European sample to test the affect of changing from local-GAAP to either IFRS or US-GAAP.They examine information asymmetry proxied by analyst following,forecast dispersion and stock return volatility and the implied cost of capital estimated using the method suggested by Easton,Taylor,Shroff,and Sougiannis (2002).They document a positive effect of adopting IFRS or US-GAAP on analyst following,but fail to find support for a lower implied cost of equity.Dargenidou,McLeay,and Raonic (2006)also use a European sample to test how the change from local GAAP to international accounting standards (IFRS or US-GAAP)affected the estimated cost of capital using the Ohlson and Juettner-Nauroth (2005)abnormal earnings growth model.Contrary to Daske (2006)and Cuijpers and Buijink (2005)they find that the cost of capital increased by more than 4%after voluntary adoption but that the effect is smaller for large firms.Daske,Hail,Leuz,and Verdi (2007)extend these studies by focussing on whether the impact varies with the degree of compliance.Survey evidence documents that compliance varies considerably among voluntary adopters (Cairns,1999,2000).Daske et al.(2007)show that the cost of capital is only reduced when adoption is serious (i.e.,leads to improved accounting quality).The heterogeneity that they document in the voluntary setting arises from differences in compliance level.The heterogeneity that we explore in the mandatory setting arises because the willingness to adopt varies across firms.To summarize,prior research that uses proxies for either the cost of capital or components of the cost of capital have produced mixed results.Another stream of research looks at the market reaction to the announcement of future compliance with IFRS or US-GAAP.The idea is that the market reaction around the announcement contains the change in the required risk premium,and thus impounds the change in the cost of capital.Pellens and Tomaszewski (1999)find insignificant market reactions to the announcement of future compliance with either IFRS or US-GAAP in Germany.The statistical power of their test is,however,low due to a sample size of only 16firms.Karamanou and Nishiotis (2005)use an international sample of 54firms adopting IFRS and show that firms experience abnormal positive returns around the announcement of future compliance with IFRS.They also find evidence that the positive market reaction is not identical among firms with different characteristics.Thus,firms with low valuations and high growth opportunities experience a stronger market reaction.Karamanou and Nishiotis suggest that firms use the adoption of IFRS to signal to the market that they are undervalued.This signalling motive does not apply to the mandatory-adoption setting as in the case of the UK.Indeed,the study of mandatory adoption differs from voluntary adoption in two ways.First,mandatory adoption eliminates the self-selection issues inherent in voluntary adoption.Second,the choice to voluntarily adopt is a signal that includes information in itself,which could be difficult to disentangle from the underlying issue a study seeks to examine.345H.B.Christensen et al./The International Journal of Accounting 42(2007)341–379346H.B.Christensen et al./The International Journal of Accounting42(2007)341–3792.2.Mandatory adoptionThree prior studies examine mandatory rather that voluntary adoption of IFRS. Comprix,Muller and Stanford-Harris(2003)examine abnormal returns around the dates of public announcements that increase the likelihood of mandatory IFRS in the EU.They apply the Sefcik and Thompson(1986)approach to evaluate the relationship between announcement returns and a number of firm and country characteristics.They find that firms that are a)audited by a big5auditor,b)located in countries that will experience the greatest increase in quality of financial information as a consequence of IFRS,and c)are subject to the highest level of legal enforcement experience significant positive returns.Apart from the nature of the auditor these characteristics are all country specific.Although the methodology of Comprix et al.(2003)is similar to the market-reaction test we conduct in our study,the underlying research question is different. While they predominantly examine differences among country characteristics we investigate the role of firm characteristics within one country,which keeps the institutional framework constant.Armstrong,Barth,Jagolinzer,and Riedl(2006)also investigate market reactions to events that they argue would affect the likelihood of mandatory IFRS in the EU. Unlike Comprix et al.(2003),which studies the events from2000to2002,they analyze later events between2003and2004that are related to the endorsement of the IFRS standards in general and IAS32/39in particular.In general,they find positive(negative)market reactions to events they classify as increasing(decreasing) the likelihood of mandatory IFRS and interpret this as evidence that investors perceive benefits of harmonized accounting standards under IFRS.The focus of Armstrong et al.(2006)is on whether mandatory IFRS is good or bad as perceived by investors.In our study,the focus is instead on the differences in the economic consequences of mandatory IFRS between firms that are likely to incur relative benefits and costs due to the decision.Differences in economic consequences are of particular interest when evaluating a mandatory policy change.Since all firms by definition are treated equally by such a policy,those that are disadvantaged by the policy are still forced to comply.Instead of examining the short-term market reactions,Pae,Thornton,and Welker (2006)investigate the consequences of mandatory IFRS by looking at Tobin's Q.They show that firms with high agency cost measured by concentration of control and excess of the largest shareholder's voting rights over cash flow rights experience relative increases in valuation as a consequence of mandatory IFRS.The underlying idea in the study is that the shares of some firms trade at a discount due to weaker protection for minority shareholders and that mandatory IFRS force these firms to improve their disclosure,which in turn reduces the discount.Pae et al.(2006)use a European sample where early adoption is allowed in several countries and national disclosure quality generally is lower than IFRS.In this setting it makes sense to test whether the restrictions imposed by mandatory adoption of IFRS have benefited some investors. Contrary to this we restrict our test to a UK setting where firms have not had the option to comply with IFRS voluntarily.Furthermore,the disclosure quality in our UK setting is generally high and it is unsure whether IFRS is an improvement for all firms.Oursample is more relevant for an investigation into whether or not relative benefits differ across firms than whether or not it enhances protection of minority investors.The key contribution of our study to the literature is the focus on firm-specific cross-sectional differences in the economic consequences of mandatory IFRS.We define the firm-specific differences through a counter-factual proxy for willingness to adopt.The idea is that heterogeneity in the economic consequences of mandatory IFRS arises because some firms are forced to comply against their will,while others have net benefits and would have complied voluntarily had they been given the opportunity.We are not aware of any prior studies that connect the voluntary accounting GAAP commitment of firms in one country to the economic consequences of a mandatory policy in another country.3.Hypotheses developmentThe starting point of our analysis is the assumption that the costs and benefits of IFRS adoption,relative to firm value,will vary across firms.The mandatory adoption of IFRS imposes two kinds of changes on the financial-reporting practices of firms.First,firms are required to adopt a new set of accounting-measurement rules that in some cases will have a material effect on a firm's reported earnings and balance-sheet values,and in other cases will not.Second,IFRS introduces a new set of required disclosures that in some cases will be greater than the original disclosure requirements and in other cases less.Empirical research suggests that the cost of capital is related to both disclosure and measurement policies.Examples of such studies are Botosan (1997),that examines the association between disclosure levels and the implied cost of equity,and Francis,LaFond,Olsson,and Schipper (2004),that examines the relationship between earnings attributes and the implied cost of equity.Both studies find that a lower quality of information is associated with a higher cost of capital.The main hypothesis of this paper is (stated in alternative form):H 1.The cross-sectional variations in the economic consequences of mandatory IFRS adoption by UK firms are related to the probability that the firm would have adopted IFRS voluntarily if it had been given the choice.In order to convert H 1into an empirically testable proposition we need to identify specific,measurable,economic consequences,and we need to specify how to model the probability of (counter-factual)voluntary adoption by UK firms.For the purposes of this paper we focus on two,potentially related,types of economic consequences.First we consider the market response to news about the decision by the EU to mandate IFRS.Second we consider the relative change in implied cost of equity between the time when the EU started to consider IFRS adoption and the time when the decision to adopt IFRS was effectively final and binding on all member states.The main hypothesis is divided into two testable hypotheses (stated in alternative form):H 1A.The stock price reaction of UK firms to announcements that increased (decreased)the likelihood of mandatory IFRS adoption is positively (negatively)related to their degree of similarity to the characteristics of German voluntary IFRS adopters.347H.B.Christensen et al./The International Journal of Accounting 42(2007)341–379348H.B.Christensen et al./The International Journal of Accounting42(2007)341–379H1B.The change in the implied cost of equity of UK firms before and after the mandatory IFRS adoption decision is negatively related to their degree of similarity to characteristics of German voluntary IFRS adopters.Both hypotheses exploit the fact that an informationally efficient market should rapidly incorporate the expected costs and benefits of IFRS adoption into share prices.That is to say,that if the market expects UK firms with characteristics similar to German early adopters to derive a relative benefit from IFRS adoption over other firms then such firms should experience a reduction in their relative cost of capital after future mandatory IFRS adoption became known,and a relatively positive(negative)response to news indicating that mandatory IFRS adoption was more(less)likely.Hypothesis H1A tests how the market initially received the news of mandatory IFRS adoption.Hypothesis H1B tests how the market perceives mandatory IFRS adoption in the longer run.Consistent results for H1A and H1B should increase the robustness of the conclusion with regard to the main hypothesis.In thinking about these hypotheses it is important to recognize that our focus is on the possibility that some firms may benefit more than others from the implementation of IFRS. In particular we do not deny the possibility that the value of IFRS adoption could be relatively greater in Germany than in the UK.Indeed,while there does seem to be a common perception that IFRS could be beneficial for German firms(Leuz and Verrecchia, 2000),the general perception of IFRS seems less favourable for UK firms.Studies such as Ginger and Rees(2001)show that UK-GAAP and IFRS are generally assumed to be very close.Some practitioners hold the belief that UK GAAP is of higher quality than IFRS.8 However,despite such perceptions recent empirical evidence has found that the investment decisions of fund managers in the UK have been affected by the transition to IFRS.9 Furthermore,we are not concerned in this paper with testing the overall effect of mandatory IFRS adoption on the cost of capital of UK firms.It could be that the median level of accounting information quality decreases in the UK due to IFRS being of a lower quality than UK accounting standards,but at the same time the effect of IFRS adoption could be smaller for UK firms similar in characteristics to German volunteer adopters.In this case our main alternative hypothesis would be accepted in the UK even though the overall affect of introducing IFRS was to decrease the quality of financial statements and increase the cost of capital.Another issue we face in relation to the changes to measurement and disclosure policies due to IFRS is the differences between Germany and the UK.Economic intuition suggest that a firms'accounting policy choice is driven by it's perception of net benefits.If the perceived net-benefits are at least partly determined by a function of measurement and disclosure issues then it is unlikely to be identical for Germany and the UK due to their institutional differences.Ball(2006)and Nobes(2006)both analyse how differences in 8See Accountancy,January1999,p.6,and Accountancy,May1999,p.77,for examples.9In a PwC/MORI(2005)survey of fund managers,70%said that they found the first IFRS information fairly useful or very useful,29%reported that the disclosure had influenced them to disinvest from a company,and21% said that they had been influenced to not invest in a company and13%had been influenced to invest.financing,ownership,legal,and taxation systems across countries influence the development of their domestic accounting regulations and suggest that this is likely to have effects on the implementation of IFRS.Thus,to the extent that these institutional differences affect the decision of IFRS adoption,there will be country-specific factors in Germany that are not transferable to the UK context and therefore induce noise into our counter-factual proxy for a UK firm's willingness to adopt IFRS.That is to say,our research design potentially underestimates the differences in economic consequences and therefore we run the risk of failing to reject that no differences exist when differences actually exist.Thus this issue,in effect,loads the dice in favor of our null hypothesis.The fact that we are able to reject the null,in spite of this issue,suggests that even stronger results in support of our alternative hypotheses could be found if a more powerful counter-factual proxy could be designed than the one we use here.4.Methodology and sample4.1.Development of the counter-factual proxyIn this section we explain the development of the counter-factual proxy for UK firms'willingness to adopt IFRS based on their degree of characteristics similar to German voluntary IFRS adopters.We use the observed voluntary GAAP choices of German firms to predict which UK firms would be more likely to adopt IFRS given the same choice.The following logistic regression models are used to explain the choice of German firms:Adopter i ¼a 0þa 1FS i þa 2DTM i þa 3LMV i þe ið1ÞAdopter i ¼b 0þb 1FS i þb 2DTM i þb 3LMV i þX 10k ¼4b k INDDUM k ;i þe i ð2ÞAdopter i ¼g 0þX7k ¼1g k INDDUM k ;i þe ið3ÞThe dependent variable (Adopter)is assigned the value of one if firm i complies with an international accounting regime in 2002and the value of zero otherwise.10FS is the foreign sales divided by total sales,DTM is the long-term debt divided by the sum of its long-term debt and market value,LMV is the natural logarithm of the market value,and INDDUM are seven industry dummies set equal to one for the industry for which the firm belongs and zero otherwise.Model 1(Eq.(1))only includes the three firm-characteristic variables that measures foreign sales,leverage,and size.To capture the long-run norm,we 10We do not distinguish between IFRS and US-GAAP.The reason is that we are interested in firms that have net-benefit of committing to an international accounting regime regardless which one.We do,however,re-run the models excluding firms complying with US-GAAP.The results are consistent in all material aspects,which is also consistent with the result of Leuz (2003).349H.B.Christensen et al./The International Journal of Accounting 42(2007)341–379。

3.2.1 通过《公司法》管理公司事务,包 括对公司财务会计和报告的要求

通过《公司法》对会计行为进行规范 ,是 英国会计模式区别于美国会计模式的最主 要特征。
《公司法》是全国性的法律,目前执行的 是2006年全面修订的《公司法》。 英国也像大多数欧洲国家一样,主要通过 法律规范来约束企业的会计行为。


英国传统文化的不强求统一和一致性也使得英 国会计实务处理具有可选择性,而不是生搬硬 套某些法律条文。 不列颠民族虽然某些方面相对美利坚民族比较 保守,但较之与东方民族他们更具有冒险精神 和乐观主义态度,表现在会计处理上,英国人 更侧重于激进的方法,而不是采取稳健主义原 则,比如对存货的处理,不同批次购进的存货 项目,税法和会计准则允许采用先进先出法确 定成本,但不允许后进先出法。

英国与爱尔兰共和国于1973年加入欧洲经济共同体, 此后,英国公司法的修订,就反映出与欧洲经济共同 体理事会指令的协调趋向。
3.2.1 通过《公司法》管理公司事务,包括对 公司财务会计和报告的要求

2、1981年修订的《公司法》

规定了资产负债表和损益表的格式,提出了与欧共体第4号指令提 出的十分类似的5项会计原则(1)持续经营假设;(2)一致性; (3)谨慎;(4)应用权责发生制;(5)分开确定任何总数的组 成部分
英国的文化因素


英国崇尚民主、自由、博爱、平等的价值观,倡导自 由灵活和个人主义。相对于集体主义倾向的国家来说, 英国会计理论和会计准则由会计职业团体阐释和发布, 政府控制很宽松,基本上不予干预。 比如对固定资产计量,英国会计有较大弹性。会计准 则建议企业至少每 5年对固定资产进行一次重新估价 并重新核定经济使用年限;重估增值列为业主权益, 不能作为当年收益;重估减值先从该项资产以前列为 业主权益的重估增值账户中抵补,不足部分再计入当 年损益。很多会计准则对会计实务的指导只是建议性 的意见,并不一定强制执行,这就为会计职业团体和 职业会计师执业提供了依据个人职业判断的充分空间。

一、英国格鲁•萨克逊会计体系。

盎格鲁•萨克逊会计体系可以明确地与大陆欧洲、拉丁美洲、亚洲以及世界上其他国家或地区的会计区分开来。

它不仅在英美推行,而且了相当一部分国家和地区的会计制度和实务。

与其他国家集群会计相比,盎格鲁・萨克逊会计信息披露的透明度较高。

英国是第一个建立意义上会计职业团体的国家,在会计中具有悠久的传统。

鉴于殖民时期的广泛的商业贸易,英国的会计通过英联邦及其范例,对世界各国早期的会计实务有着深刻的影响。

尽管随着大英帝国的衰落以及国际间剧烈的竞争,英国正面临新的挑战,但无可否认,英国有着丰富的会计思想。

1973年,英国加入了欧洲共同体(Eureopean Community, 1993 年改称欧盟European Union )o 作为欧盟的成员国,必须遵守相应的法规。

例如欧盟发布的第4、7、8号指令都是有关会计审计协调的专题规定。

无疑地,欧盟在成员国会计协调上的积极举措将影响英国会计未来的发展方向,使其逐渐向大陆欧洲模式靠拢;同样,英国会计对欧洲其他国家的影响也会有所增加。

(一)会计的规范与监管英国会计的立法依据主要是公司法。

公司法的基本原则是适用于在管辖区内组建的所有股份有限公司。

1948年颁布的公司法为英国会计模式奠定了重要的基础。

它不但规定了公司(包括公开招股和不公开招股)必须公布资产负债表和损益表,而且第一次提出了关于财务报表和会计信息披露的指导思想一一真实与公允的观点。

其后英国一直强调全部帐目应按“真实与公允〃的观点予以提供。

但"真实与公允〃在英国并无官方的确切定义。

一般认为, 〃真实与公允〃是指以诚实的态度披露所有真实的、可信的重要信息,不抱偏见,不隐瞒或忽略重大事实;必要时可超出规定要求披露有关细节。

自1948年公司法颁布以来,英国立法经历了几次修订和补充,除1948年文本外,2967、2976、2980、1981 年(实施欧盟第4号指令)历次修订的文本都作为单独的立法存在,公司在执行或引用时,必须相互参照才能决定取舍,很不方便。

1948年颁布的《公司法》为39英国会计模式奠定了基础。

该法规定,所有注册的公司,不论是股份公开发行的还是不公开发行的,都要公布它们的损益表和资产负债表,因此英国公司法4041的基本原则适用于在管辖区内组建的所有股份有限公司(包括公开招股和不公42开招股)。

国际会计---英国会计

国际会计---英国会计

英国会计环境及其特征研究摘要:英国是创造“真实与公允反映〞概念的国家,目前这一概念已被欧盟国家正式承受,而且也对世界上许多其他国家产生了重要的影响。

英国在会计审计领域中作出了许多开创性奉献,奠定了形成广泛且长久的英国会计模式的根底。

英国会计模是以英国会计理论和实务为代表的、以要求公司财务报表给予“真实与公允反映〞为特征的一种国际会计模式。

英国会计模式是世界上产生较早、你是较久的一个模式。

英国工业革命以后,随着生产力的提高、生产规模的扩大,产生了许多不同以往的会计问题,在解决这些会计问题的过程中,英国会计师创造了许多新的会计理论、方法、技术和制度,从而逐渐传播到了其他许多国家,尤其是英联邦国家。

英国现代会计和审计的开展都曾经作出过重大的奉献。

英国是现代会计的发祥地,由于其在政治经济上的特殊地位,无论是在历史上还是现代,英国的会计理论和实务在世界X围内都具有重大的影响,其影响力不仅限于英联邦的40多个国家,而且扩展到英联邦以外的许多国家。

构成英国会计环境的两大组成局部是法律约束和行业自律。

法律约束主要是官方通过立法的形式,将政府的有关政策主X法制化,从而使会计活动在发来的框架内有序进展;行业自律这是通过会计职业界自我约束的各种方式对会计实务和会计职业界本身进展管理。

在英国,公司法一直是会计制度的主要法律依据,由公司对会计提出总括框架,再有会计职业团体制定会计准那么对会计实务进展具体规X。

这样,公司法的执行在很大程度上依靠会计职业团体通过制定具体规那么来完成。

关键词:会计准那么职业团体真实公允财务报告一、英国简况英国全称“大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国〞, 由大不列颠岛、爱尔兰岛北部及附近的很多小岛组成,领土总面积24 .4万平方公里。

其中大不列颠岛又分为英格兰、威尔士和苏格兰三局部。

它是典型的资产阶级议会制的君主立宪制国家, 实行的是“三权分立〞的政治体制。

英国政治法律制度影响市场经济运行的一个显著特点是政策法制化。

涉外会计实务报告范文

涉外会计实务报告范文

涉外会计实务报告范文1. 简介涉外会计实务是指在进行与外国相关的财务活动时所涉及的会计实践和技术。

本报告将对涉外会计实务进行分析和总结,旨在提供指导和建议,以确保财务活动的准确性和合规性。

2. 国际会计准则涉外会计实务的核心是遵守国际会计准则(International Financial Reporting Standards,IFRS)。

IFRS是由国际会计准则理事会(International Accounting Standards Board,IASB)制定和发布的会计准则,旨在提供全球通用的财务报告框架。

IFRS的应用要求涉外企业对财务报表进行全面和准确的披露,确保透明度和可比性。

在准备涉外财务报表时,企业应根据IFRS的要求归类、评估和计量资产、负债、收入和费用。

此外,企业还需要披露与会计政策选择、估计和判断有关的信息,以增加财务报表的可理解性和可比性。

3. 外币核算与报告涉外会计实务还涉及外币核算与报告。

在跨国公司的运营中,经常需要处理多种货币,因此需要将外币转换为报告货币。

根据IFRS的要求,外币交易应按当期汇率折算,而外币货币性项目应按年末汇率重新计算。

企业在外币核算与报告过程中,还需要记录并披露外币兑换损益。

这些损益通常来自于外币财务报表与报告货币财务报表之间的折算差异。

对于企业而言,理解和控制外币风险是确保财务报表准确性的重要因素之一。

4. 跨国税务筹划涉外会计实务中的另一个重要方面是跨国税务筹划。

不同国家的税法和税率各有不同,企业可以通过合理的税务筹划来最大程度地减少税务负担。

跨国税务筹划涉及利用不同国家的税收协定和税收减免政策,以降低企业的税务成本。

企业在进行跨国税务筹划时,需要遵守各国的法律法规和国际税收准则,确保合规性和透明度。

此外,企业还需要进行风险评估和管理,以避免因税务筹划不当带来的负面影响。

5. 涉外会计审核涉外会计实务还涉及涉外会计审核。

企业的财务报表需要经过独立审计师的审核,以确保其准确性和合规性。

英国财务报告委员会(FRC)近日发布了第14版《会计业重要事实和趋势》报告。

报告显示,英国职业会计组织的会员人数在英国和全球不断增长,但在过去2年,英国和爱尔兰境内的学员数量有所下降。

报告收集了过去4年各个会计组织的会员及其业务开展情况的相关数据。

主要包括以下几个方面。

第一,七大会计组织的会员人数稳步增长,英国和爱尔兰境内的会员总数为34.2万人(4年间增长了2.4%),全球范围的会员总数为49.7万人(4年间增长了3.2%)。

第二,注册登记的会计师事务所数量逐年下降,从2014年12月到现在,减少了304家,降幅为4.6%。

第三,与2014年相比,相较于其他为公共利益实体提供审计服务的事务所,规模最大的四家事务所的全部收费服务类项目均获得了增长。

所有事务所的审计服务收入均有所上升,而审计服务收入占总收入的比例保持稳定。

第四,“四大”在2015年审计的未纳入英国富时350指数(FTSE 350)的上市公司数量要多于往年。

FRC负责审计业务的执行理事梅勒妮·麦克拉伦说:“FRC是英国审计活动的主管部门,能够提供关于英国会计组织的独立观察。

FRC与相关会计组织通力合作,通过对各个组织的会员进行监管来提升审计质量。

今天发布的报告提供了不断发展的英国以及国际会计业的规模和特质的第一手资料。
