毕业论文(设计)外文文献翻译及原文
金融体制、融资约束与投资——来自OECD的实证分析R.SemenovDepartment of Economics,University of Nijmegen,Nijmegen(荷兰内梅亨大学,经济学院)这篇论文考查了OECD的11个国家中现金流量对企业投资的影响.我们发现不同国家之间投资对企业内部可获取资金的敏感性具有显著差异,并且银企之间具有明显的紧密关系的国家的敏感性比银企之间具有公平关系的国家的低.同时,我们发现融资约束与整体金融发展指标不存在关系.我们的结论与资本市场信息和激励问题对企业投资具有重要作用这种观点一致,并且紧密的银企关系会减少这些问题从而增加企业获取外部融资的渠道。
一、引言各个国家的企业在显著不同的金融体制下运行。
金融发展水平的差别(例如,相对GDP的信用额度和相对GDP的相应股票市场的资本化程度),在所有者和管理者关系、企业和债权人的模式中,企业控制的市场活动水平可以很好地被记录.在完美资本市场,对于具有正的净现值投资机会的企业将一直获得资金。
然而,经济理论表明市场摩擦,诸如信息不对称和激励问题会使获得外部资本更加昂贵,并且具有盈利投资机会的企业不一定能够获取所需资本.这表明融资要素,例如内部产生资金数量、新债务和权益的可得性,共同决定了企业的投资决策.现今已经有大量考查外部资金可得性对投资决策的影响的实证资料(可参考,例如Fazzari(1998)、 Hoshi(1991)、 Chapman(1996)、Samuel(1998)).大多数研究结果表明金融变量例如现金流量有助于解释企业的投资水平。
这项研究结果解释表明企业投资受限于外部资金的可得性。
很多模型强调运行正常的金融中介和金融市场有助于改善信息不对称和交易成本,减缓不对称问题,从而促使储蓄资金投着长期和高回报的项目,并且提高资源的有效配置(参看Levine(1997)的评论文章)。
因而我们预期用于更加发达的金融体制的国家的企业将更容易获得外部融资.几位学者已经指出建立企业和金融中介机构可进一步缓解金融市场摩擦。

统计数据表明,在工商行政管理局登记在册的企业中,中小型企业占了99%,产值和利润分别占总额的60%和40%。
此外,中小型企业所提供了75%的城镇就业机会。
可见其为中国的稳定和经济繁荣作出了重要贡献。
虽然中小型企业在国民经济中占有重要地位,对中国经济发展与社会稳定具有很重大的意义。
但是,中小型企业发展的主要障碍是缺乏有效的财务管理。
本文分析了当前中小型企业财务管理中存在的问题,并就改善中小型企业财务管理提出了相应对策。
1.1 中小型企业的财务管理现状自从21世纪以来,中国的中小型企业的蓬勃发展,在经济增长和社会发展中发挥着非常重要的作用。
据财政部统计数据,直到2005年底,中小型企业总数已超过1000万,占中国企业总数的99%。
中小型企业提供了75%的城镇就业机会,工业企业的总产值、销售收入、实现的利得税和出口额分别占总数的60%、57%、40%和60%,上缴的税收已经接近了国家税收总额的一半。
中小型企业承载着超过75%的技术革新和超过65%的专利发明,他们以其灵活的经营机制和积极创新活动,为经济发展提供了增长的最根本动力。
近年来,中国中小企业的消亡率将近70%,大约有30%的中小型企业存在赤字。
中小型企业应该如何建立现代企业制度,加强财务管理,并科学地进行资本运作以谋求自身的健康发展,是我们密切关注的一个问题。
1.2 中小型企业财务管理中存在的问题⑴财务管理理念滞后,而且方法保守中小型企业由于管理者自身知识水平的限制,使得企业的管理能力和管理质量较低。
他们的管理思想已经不适合现代企业,并且大多数企业领导人缺乏财务管理的理论和方法,忽视了企业资本运作的作用。
信息不对称,企业信息披露和资本市场:信息披露的实证文献回顾【外文翻译】
外文翻译原文Information asymmetry, corporate disclosure, and the capital markets:A review of the empirical disclosure literatureMaterial Source:Journal of Accounting and Economics 31 (2001) 405–440Author:Paul M. Healy, Krishna G. PalepuFinancial reporting and disclosure are potentially important means for management to communicate firm performance and governance to outside investors. We provide a framework for analyzing managers’ reporting and disclosure decisions in a capital Markets setting,and identify key research questions. We then review current empirical researchon disclosure regulation, information intermediaries, and the determinants and economic consequences of corporate disclosure. Our survey concludes that current research has generated a number of useful insights. We identify many fundamental questions that remain unanswered, and changes in the economic environment that raise new questions for research.1 IntroductionCorporate disclosure is critical for the functioning of an efficient capital market.1 Firms provide disclosure through regulated financial reports, including the financial statements, footnotes, management discussion and analysis, and other regulatory filings. In addition, some firms engage in voluntary communication, suchas management forecasts, analysts’ presentations and conference calls, press releases, internet sites, and other corporate reports. Finally, there are disclosures about firms by information intermediaries, suchas financial analysts, industry experts, and the financial press.In this paper we review research on financial reporting and voluntary disclosure of information by management, summarize key researchfi ndings, and identify areas for future work. Section 2 examines the forces that give rise to demand for disclosure in a modern capital-market economy, and the institutions that increase the credibility of disclosures. We argue that demand for financial reporting and disclosure arises from information asymmetry and agency conflicts between managers and outside investors. The credibility of management disclosures is enhanced by regulators, standard setters, auditors and other capital market intermediaries. We use the disclosure framework to identify important questions for research, and review available empirical evidence.Section 3 reviews the findings on the regulation of financial reporting and disclosure. Much of this research documents that earnings, book values, and other required financial statement information is ‘‘value relevant’’. However, fundamental questions about the demand for, and effectiveness of, financial reporting anddisclosure regulation in the economy remain unanswered.Researchon effectiveness of auditors and information intermediaries is discussed in Section 4. There is evidence that financial analysts generate valuable new information through their earnings forecasts and stock recommendations. However, there are systematic biases in financial analysts’outputs, potentially arising from the conflicting incentives that they face. While theory suggests that auditors enhance the credibility of financial reports, empirical researchh as provided surprisingly little evidence to substantiate it.Section 5 reviews the economic determinants of managers’ financial reporting and disclosure decisions. Researchusing the contracting perspective finds that accounting decisions are influenced by compensation and lending contracts, as well as political cost considerations. Researchusing the capital market perspective documents that voluntary disclosure decisions are related to capital market transactions, corporate control contests, stock-based compensation, shareholder litigation, and proprietary costs.2 The role of disclosure in capital marketsIn this section, we examine the role of disclosure in modern capital markets. Information and incentive problems impede the efficient allocation of resourcesin a capital market economy. Disclosure and the institutions created to facilitate credible disclosure between managers and investors play an important role in mitigating these problems. The framework for disclosure that we discuss in this section is then used to develop implications for research.A critical challenge for any economy is the optimal allocation of savings to investment opportunities. There are usually many new entrepreneurs and existing companies that would like to attract household savings, which are typically widely distributed, to fund their business ideas. While both savers and entrepreneurs would like to do business with each other, matching savings to business investment opportunities is complicated for at least two reasons. First, entrepreneurs typically have better information than savers about the value of business investment opportunities and incentives to overstate their value. Savers, therefore, face an ‘‘information problem’’ when they make investmens in business ventures. Second, once savers have invested in their business ventures, entrepreneurs have an incentive to expropriate their savings, creating an ‘‘agency problem’’.3 Managers’ reporting decisionsResearch on managers’ reporting decisions has focused on two areas. The first area, often called positive accounting theory, focuses on management’s financial reporting choices. We provide a brief review of this literature; Fields et al. (2001) provide a more comprehensive survey of recent research in this area. The second area, the voluntary disclosure literature, focuses on management disclosure decisions.3.1 Positive accounting theory literatureThe positive accounting theory literature focuses on management’s motives for making accounting choices when markets are semi-strong form efficient, there are significant costs in writing and enforcing contracts, and there are political costs arising out of the regulatory process (see Watts and Zimmerman, 1978, 1986). The central focus of this literature is to examine the role of contracting and political considerations in explaining management accounting choices when there are agency costs and information asymmetry. Two types of contracts are examined, contracts between the firm and its creditors (debt contracts), and contracts between management and shareholders (compensation contracts). Political considerations include management’s concern about attracting explicit or implicit taxes, or regulatory actions.Contracts are not the only mechanisms for dealing with information asymmetry discussed in the positive accounting literature. For example, Watts and Zimmerman (1983, 1986) discuss the role of reputation as a mechanism for resolving information problems in the context of auditing.Empirical studies of positive accounting theory test whether managers make accounting method changes or accrual estimates to reduce the costs of violating bond covenants written in terms of accounting numbers, to increase the value of earnings-based bonuses under compensation contracts, or to reduce the likelihood of implicit or explicit taxes. Findings indicate that firms that use accounting methods to accelerate earnings are small and have relatively high leverage. Also, firms’ accrual decisions appear to be affected by compensation contracts.While a majority of positive accounting studies focus on analyzing postcontracting opportunistic accounting choices, some studies view the choice of accounting and disclosure as part of the contracting process itself. Holthausen and Leftwich(1983) , Watts and Zimmerman (1990), Smithan d Watts (1992), and Skinner (1993) argue that the use of accounting information in lending and compensation contracts should be viewed as endogenous. Consequently, the nature of a firm’s assets and its investment opportunity set simultaneously determine its optimal contracting relations and its accounting method choices. Watts and Zimmerman (1983) examine the role of voluntary interim reporting as an ex ante contracting part of corporate governance. The ex ante role of accounting in the contracting process is also examined by Zimmer (1986), Christie and Zimmerman (1994), and Skinner (1993).Although positive accounting theory studies generated several interesting empirical regularities regarding firms’ accounting decisions, there is ambiguity about how to interpret this evidence (see reviews by Holthausen and Leftwich, 1983; Watts and Zimmerman, 1990). For example, size is typically viewed as a proxy for political sensitivity, but is likely to proxy for many other factors. Also, as Palepu (1987), Healy and Palepu (1990), and DeAngelo et al. (1996) P.M. Healy, K.G. Palepu / Journal of Accounting and Economics 31 (2001) 405–440 419 suggest, accounting decisions by managers of highly leveraged firms in financial distress may in part reflect an attempt to conserve cash, or changes in investment opportunities.3.2 V oluntary disclosure literatureResearchon voluntary disclosure focuses on the information role of financial reporting for capital markets (see Healy and Palepu, 1993, 1995). This research supplements the positive accounting literature by focusing on stock market motives for accounting and disclosure decisions.Disclosure studies assume that, even in an efficient capital market, managers have superior information to outside investors on their firms’ expected future performance. If auditing and accounting regula tions work perfectly, managers’accounting decisions and disclosures communicate changes in their firm’s business economics to outside investors. Alternatively, if accounting regulation and auditing are imperfect, a more likely possibility, managers trade off between making accounting decisions and disclosures to communicate their superior knowledge of firm’s performance to investors, and to manage reported performance for contracting, political or corporate governance reasons.Management motives for making voluntary disclosure and their credibility are, therefore, interesting empirical questions.4.ConclusionCapital markets are becoming increasingly global as a result of a variety of developments. Institutional investors are looking to diversify by investing P.M. Healy, K.G. Palepu / Journal of Accounting and Economics 31 (2001) 405–440 433 around the globe; corporations are seeking capital wherever the terms are most attractive; and internet-based trading is making it easier for individual investors to invest in international capital markets. Financial deregulation is encouraging these activities.The globalization of capital markets has been accompanied by calls for globalization of financial reporting. This raises several interesting questions. First, is it optimal to have a global accounting standard setter given wide disparities in the development of financial reporting infrastructure across counties? Second, what economic forces will determine the speed with which convergence of financial reporting institutions will take place? Third, what are the political and economic consequences of such a convergence? Fourth, in the absence of convergence, will financial reporting informativeness be enhanced by global accounting standards?In summary, the increased pace of entrepreneurship and economic change has probably increased the value of reliable information in capital markets. However, the traditional financial reporting model appears to do a poor job of capturing the economic implications of many of these changes in a timely way. There is, therefore, an opportunity for future disclosure research to examine how financial reporting and disclosures adapt to changes in business and capital market environments. In addition, as we note earlier, there are many areas where our understanding of existing disclosure institutions and phenomena are limited. We believe that both opportunities make the disclosure area an exciting area of study for accounting scholars.译文信息不对称,企业信息披露和资本市场:信息披露的实证文献回顾资料来源:[J].会计和经济405-440 31(2001) 作者:Paul M.

企业并购财务风险的预防管理分析摘要:并购被认为是改善企业管理模式,扩大企业规模,调整产业结构的有效途径。
这种方法在世界各地的每一次盛行中都受到很多因素的影响,然而企业并购在中国的起步较晚。
复杂而快速变化的环境使得企业并购具有重大风险。
特别是并购流程每一步都有严重的财务风险。
并购存在各种财务风险,如果这些风险没有得到有效的解决和控制,任何时候都会导致企业失败。
因此,许多学者和企业家认为兼并和收购的财务风险是最大的问题。
本文将对并购财务风险提出有效的预防措施,减少财务风险带来的影响,增加并购成功机会,确保企业并购的实施。
关键词:并购,财务风险,因果关系,预防引言自1897年以来,西方资本主义国家的并购遭遇了五次浪潮。
每次并购对企业的结构优化和资源配置都起着重要的作用。
中国改革开放政策实施后,随着经济全球化的快速发展,并购成为企业扩大经营规模,实现国际化的重要途径之一。
20世纪80年代中国出现并购,当时并购行为在中国企业受到欢迎,尽管许多企业从事并购,但成功案例少。
因为并购行为有很多潜在风险,其中包括市场风险,财务风险,法律风险等。
然而,财务风险被认为是并购的主要问题。
因此,有必要研究并购和财务风险的内容,了解财务风险的特点及其影响,系统分析财务风险,具体来说,需要研究并购前的目标企业的定价风险,并购期间的支付风险和财务风险以及并购后的整合风险。
最后,本文提出了基于各种风险的预防和控制措施,这是降低财务风险并提高并购成功概率的有效途径。

本科毕业论文(设计)外文翻译原文:Accounts Receivable Financing and Information Asymmetry Abstract:This study investigates the effect of information asymmetry between managers and outsiders on the use of accounts receivable in financing the firm’s operations. Th e information impounded in receivables pertains to the firm’s customers rather than the firm and therefore differs from the information embedded in other assets. The unique information content of accounts receivable makes it a likely candidate to use as a financing tool for highly information asymmetric firms. Consistent with the Pecking Order Theory, I find that the likelihood of using accounts receivable financing increases with the firm’s information asymmetry. I also find that the innate component of th e firm’s earnings quality measure is more influential than the discretionary component in explaining the use of AR financing.Keywords: Information asymmetry, capital structure, asset-backed financing, receivables.1. IntroductionAccounts receivable (hereafter, AR) are open accounts owed to the firm by trade customers. They are part of the firm’s working capital and constitute 14 percent of 2005 US industrial firms’ total assets, making them one of the largest asset groups on industrial firms’ balance she et. AR serve as a tool for firms to extend credit to their business partners and are often instrumental in facilitating sale of goods.From a creditor standpoint, the information characteristics associated with AR differ from other firm’s assets. While the information on firm’s other assets is related to the firm’s performance, the information on the firm’s AR and their value depends on other firms’ performance, i.e. the customers. Furthermore, AR share many attributes of financial assets, including their reparability and relative liquidity. Theseattributes of AR, as well as the diversification effect of multiple customers comprising the receivable account on the balance sheet, make this asset different and potentially lower in its information asymmetry tha n the rest of the firm’s assets.The Pecking Order Theory (Myers, 1984 and Myers and Majluf, 1984) predicts that firms characterized by asymmetric information will tend to use the least information sensitive financing options available to them before turning to other options which may be mispriced by the market. Boot and Thakor (1993) show that value can be added in splitting an asset into two separate securities; one informational sensitive, the other less so. In this study, I investigate whether the distinct information characteristics of AR increases the likelihood of using AR as a tool in financing when information asymmetry between firm’s management and outsiders increases.Using a unique hand collected dataset of all COMPUSTAT firms available for the fiscal year 2005 in the two 2-digit SIC code industries 73 and 37 (business services and transportation equipment), which are characterized by high ratios of AR to assets, I test whether the firm’s information asymmetry is related to its decision to use AR financing. AR financing is defined as any type of financing which distinctly relies on AR, either as collateral or as an eligibility requirement and includes the following types of financing: securitization, factoring, AR collateralized debt, and collateralized debt with an AR eligibility requirement. Remaining observations are divided between two additional groups: firms having debt collateralized by many assets which do not specifically mention AR and firms using uncollateralized debt or debt collateralized by assets other than AR (such as mortgages).I first explore the association between leverage and the use of AR financing. I find that on average, firms that use AR financing have higher leverage relative to firms that do not use AR financing. I then test whether information asymmetry is related to the decision of the firm to use AR financing, after controlling for leverage. I find that the use of AR financing is associated with three sets of proxies of the firm’s information asymmetry: 1) analyst forecasts (both standard deviation and absolute forecast error), 2) balance sheet based variables that have been found to be correlated with information asymmetry, and 3) disclosure (both quality of earnings as well asvoluntary disclosure through management’s e arnings guidance). Results suggest that the likelihood of AR financing increases with the firm’s information asymmetry.Additionally, I separate the firms that do not use AR financing into two groups, one of firms that use general collateralized debt and the other of firms that do not, and conduct a multinomial regression analysis. The information asymmetry proxies are significant and stronger for the AR financing group than for the general collateralized debt group suggesting that results are driven by the unique information characteristics of AR and not by the use of collateralized debt. I also separate the AR financing firms into two groups. The first group has an AR financing agreement in place but has a zero-balance at the end of the fiscal year and the second group has a positive balance at the end of the year. The coefficients of the information asymmetry proxies are not significant for the zero-balance group suggesting that these firms are characterized by lower information asymmetry than firms that make use of their facilities.In order to shed light on which component of the corporate information environment –the economic / innate component and the managerial discretionary component –is more influential in explaining the decision to use AR financing, I decompose the earnings quality measure into its two components. Consistent with Francis et al. (2005) and Bhattacharya et al. (2007), I find that the innate component is more influential in explaining the decision to use AR financing. These results are robust to an alternative method of decomposition of the information environment proxy which relies on the principal component analysis and the use of two additional accounting measures that have been found to be correlated with the discretionary component of the information environment; earning volatility and abnormal accruals.Previous literature includes analysis of the financial structures employed to manage a firm’s AR (Mian and Smith, 1992), as well as research pertaining to some specific forms of AR financing such as factoring (Sopranzetti ,1998); however, the effect of the firm’s information asymmetry on the choice to use AR as a financing tool has not been directly investigated. My study contributes to the existing literature in the following ways: (1) it suggests that using a specific asset with information content different than the rest of the firm’s assets, namely AR, may alleviate agencyproblems that arise from information asymmetry; (2) it adds to the literature suggesting that the innate component of the earnings quality measure is more influential than the discretionary component when evaluating information risk; (3) It uses a unique hand collected data set to document the choice between AR financing and other financing options and provides descriptive evidence on the characteristics of the firms using the different forms of AR financing.The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 discusses AR financing and the role of information asymmetry in firm’s financing and develops the hypotheses tested in this study. Section 3 discusses the research design. Section 4 describes the dataset and provides descriptive statistics of the firms by industry and by AR financing choice. Section 5 displays the empirical results and section 6 concludes.2. Background and Development of Hypotheses2.1. AR FinancingTrade receivables represent credit given by firms to their business partners. These accounts are effectively short and long term financing that is extended not by financial intermediaries or the market, but by suppliers to their customers. Calomiris et al. (1995) find that during downturns, firms in strong financial conditions act as financial intermediaries to other firms and extend credit. When market liquidity is low, trade credit is an important tool to keep firms afloat, thus making receivables more important when credit is scarce. Giannetti et al (2007) study firms receiving trade credit. One of their main findings is that trade credit given by suppliers seems to convey favorable information to other potential lenders to the firm. Peterson and Rajan (1997) focus on small firms and find evidence that suppliers lend to smaller firms because they have a comparative advantage in getting information about them. Both of these findings sugg est that the information content of a firm’s receivables is endogenous to the decision of the firm to extend the credit and adds to the information in the market on these firms. Management, however, may still have additional information regarding these assets than other market participants, if customers are comprised of small, information asymmetric, firms.In this study, I focus on the supplier’s side of AR. Firms that extend credit totheir customers have to finance it by using internal funds, taking on debt or issuing equity. I investigate the firms that specifically use their AR in debt contracting. AR financing is defined as any type of financing which distinctly relies on AR, either as collateral or as an eligibility requirement. The financing options include: securitization of AR (both on and off balance sheet), factoring of receivables (both on and off balance sheet), AR collateralized debt, and general collateralized debt which contains an AR eligibility requirement. This financing is usually short term and includes on the one end of the spectrum credit facilities which are determined, among other things, by the amount of eligible AR the firm holds at any given time and on the other end of the spectrum securitization facilities which issue short/long term paper against pools of trade/financing receivables.Mian and Smith (1992) use the AICPA survey of firms to study the choice firms make between different AR management policies such as factoring, accounts receivable secured debt, captive finance subsidiaries and general corporate credit. They find that size, concentration and credit standing of the firm’s traded debt and commercial paper are important in explaining the firm’s choices between the alternative policies. The larger more credit worthy firms establishes captives, while the smaller, riskier firms issue accounts receivable secured debt. Each of the specific policies has also been studied. Sopranzetti (1998) models factoring of accounts receivable with respect to the recourse conditions and finds that high bankruptcy firms may not be able to factor their receivables even with full recourse. Klapper (2005) finds evidence suggesting that lines of credit secured by accounts receivable are associated with business borrowers who exhibit a high risk of default. Sufi (2009) studies the role of bank lines of credit in corporate finance and finds that these revolving facilities are used as a liquidity substitute only for firms that maintain high cash flows. The above studies highlight the many differences between the policies as well as the different characteristics of firms using each. These firms are characterized by a wide range of sizes, balance sheet strength and operating results. This study explores whether the firm’s information asymmetry characteris tic is a common factor that may explain a firm’s choice to use AR as a financing tool.2.2. Financing under asymmetric informationCapital structure has been extensively studied. Led by the seminal paper of Modigliani and Miller (1958) claiming that absent taxes and agency costs, the financing decision does not affect the value of a firm, researchers have been testing each of the underlying assumptions in order to explain the differences in firms’ capital structure. Trade-off between the advantages of tax shields and the costs of bankruptcy, agency costs of debt, and the costs of signaling lead a firm to target a specific capital structure. In contrast, the Pecking Order Theory, introduced by Myers (1984) & Myers and Majluf (1984), uses the costs of adverse selection which stem from the information asymmetry between managers and outsiders to explain the manager’s choice of capital structure. The Pecking Order Theory predicts that firms with high information asymmetry will finance their activities first using internal funds, then with low risk debt and finally with equity, as the riskier options may be mispriced by the market. Therefore, leverage will increase with information asymmetry. Both theories have been backed by empirical literature.Source: Hagit Levy,2010. “Accounts Receivable Financing and Information Asymmetry” .

外文翻译---融资过程中啄食顺序理论的一个合理证明
外文原文Management Research News,Volume 25 Number 12,2002A Rational Justification of the Pecking Order Hypothesis to theChoice of Sources of FinancingBy Vuong Duc Hoang Quan外文翻译原文来自:Management Research News,Volume 25 Number 12,2002:74-90融资过程中啄食顺序理论的一个合理证明Vuong Duc Hoang Quan摘要自从被Stewart Myers (1984)发展以来,啄食顺序理论在近期把研究重心从传统静态权衡理论转移到其他理论的研究的趋势中成为了一道亮点,它试图为公司资本结构的行为寻求一个合理的解释。
这篇文章通过建立啄食顺序理论和与之有明显对立的MM定理1之间的关系,提出了啄食顺序理论的一个合理证明。
为支持我们的解释,在推论过程中,我们采用各种各样现有的理论,包括税盾理论、破产成本理论、代理理论、信号理论和管理风险厌恶理论等,这些证明啄食顺序理论的论据,其内涵也被简要地讨论了。
关键词:公司融资;资本结构;啄食顺序理论介绍企业怎样选择资本结构及其影响因素是公司财务上一个很有争议的根本问题。
传统上,资本结构的形成被认为是有利税率之间静态权衡的结果。
税收优势提倡增加债务,它与破产风险相对,破产风险更偏好于股权融资的使用。
尽管如此,近期的研究已经呈现出了从静态权衡理论为焦点到其他理论的研究的转移,从而试图寻找出一个对资本结构行为更进一步的解释。
Myers (1984)谈到的啄食顺序理论最早是由Donaldson (1961)始创的,是用来描述企业管理者为减轻不对称信息引起的投资不足问题的缺陷而优先采取的融资方式的选择这一融资实际。
因此相对于外源融资,任何类型的企业更倾向于内源融资。

附件1:外文资料翻译译文中小企业与创业融资:信用担保计划及互助担保社团在给予小型和中小型企业金融支持中的作用最终报告内容提要1.在许多国家,信用担保计划(CGSs)代表了一个解决中小企业融资缺口的重要政策工具,同时也缓解了公共财政的负担。
因为没有足够的担保抵押能力,有限或者空的信用记录,以及经常缺乏必要的专业知识去编制精细复杂的财务报表,中小企业和创业企业通常被限制获得信贷。
公司与潜在放贷人之间存在的信息不对称,意味着后者对借款者来说具有默认情况下的高风险属性,而且,在没有足够的抵押品的情况下,最终导致一个对信贷需求部分或否定的反应。
信用担保机制是一种常用的针对这种市场失灵情况的办法。
通过给予一部分所要求的贷款担保保护,CGS可以降低贷款人的风险,并且有利于向那些有信用约束的企业提供融资。
2.在一些经合组织国家,信用担保计划已经成为决策者在近来的金融危机中改善中小企业和企业家融资渠道的工具。
在一些非经合组织国家,信用担保制度也成为拓展信贷市场,改善金融包容性的机制,并迅速的发展起来。
公共担保工具的扩展,以及对私人担保计划的扶持,通过提供资金或共同担保,引发了对对监测和评估的更大需求。
同时,也有必要去区分从广泛使用的信用担保产生并成为他们的日常运作的反周期工具,进而成为金融体系的结构要素所带来的特定挑战。
3.目前的研究目的是通过几个方面的调查如所有制结构和资金,法律和监管框架,以及包括服务类型,资格标准,担保分配处理和信贷风险管理在内的计划的运作特点,来提高对信用担保的作用,影响和可持续性的认识。

The term receivables refer to amounts due from individuals and companies. Receivables are claims that are expected to be collected in cash. The management of receivables is a vary important activity for any company that sells goods on credit. Receivables are important because they represent one of a company’s most liquid assets. For many companies receivables are also one of the largest assets.Receivables这个单词是指应收账款欠款的个人和公司。
应收账款是指预计将收集到的现金。
应收款的管理对任何一个通过信贷方式销售货物的公司而言都是一项重要的活动。
应收款很重要的,因为他们代表一个公司的最具流动性的资产。

Managing accounts receivables involves five steps:1.Determine to whom to extend credit2.Establish a payment period3.Monitor collections4.Evaluate the receivables balances5.Accelerate cash receipts from receivables when necessary应收账款的管理可分为五步来进行:1.决定谁可以提供信贷2.建立付款期限3.监测收回4.评价应收账款余额5.必要时加快应收账款的现金收回Extending Credit提供信贷A critical part of managing receivables is determining who should be extended credit and who should not. Many companies increase sales by being generous with their credit policy, but they may end up extending credit to risky customers who do not pay. If the credit policy is too tight, you will lose sales; If it is too loose, you may sell to “deadbeats” who will pay either very late or not at all. One CEO noted that prior to getting his credit and collection department in order, his salespeople had 300 square feet of office space per person, while the people in credit and collections had six people crammed into a single 300-square-foot space. Although this arrangement boosted sales, it had vary expensive consequences in bad debts expense.应收账款管理中一个决定性的部分就是确定谁应扩大信贷,谁不应该扩大。

Because of the important account receivable, according to some accounts receivable management and accounting, points out the existing problems in the disadvantages of account receivable mismanagement, and puts forward some to strengthen the management of accounts receivable practices.【keywords 】receivables; The provision for; Management riskAccounts receivable is the enterprise is an important, the risk is bigger liquid assets, its quality is good or bad for a business often has had a significant impact. These long-term difficult to recover the accounts receivable existence, seriously affected the enterprise. The normal production and business enterprise management costs, increased to different extent some enterprise into a financial crisis.The role of account receivable. Expand sales, increase the competitiveness of the enterprises in the fierce market competition situation, is to promote the sales of credit is animportant way. Enterprise credit is actually to provide customers with the two transactions, to customer selling products, and in a limited period introverted customers funds. In credit-tightening, market weakness, lack of money, the promotion with obvious credit for enterprise sales role. New products and explore new market is more important significance.Reduce inventory, reduce inventory risk and management costs. To the enterprise to hold finished goods inventory additional fee, warehousing costs and insurance expenses; Instead, the enterprise to hold accounts receivable, you do not need the spending. Therefore, when the enterprise products inventory more for long time,generally can use more favorable credit conditions, the inventory into pipes receivable and reduce finished goods in stock, save related expenses.Accounts receivable in the management of the existing problemsAccounts receivable is broad, fixed number of year long. AmountsEnterprise to accounts receivable accounting is not standard. According to the provisions of the state financial and accounting systems. Accounts receivable is accounting enterprise for selling goods or services to happen to purchase unit shall be recovered or accept labor unit payments. But the enterprise did not strictly according to the provisions of the accounting enterprise receivables. Cause some should not be in the project accounting money also included in the project, cause accounts receivable accounting has no reality.The account receivable NPLS not timely, to the enterprise confirmed the appearance of virtually increased asset caused.Because enterprise to accounts receivable slackened management, especially some enterprise also to accounts receivable as means of adjusting profit. So on the account receivable SiZhang confirmation on staying there ~ some problems. Is mainly to stay SiZhang has already formed the receivables confirm fast enough, for many years in the accounts receivable formed account long-term, eased some already can't withdraw, this provision for the provision for no provision of virtual enterprise assets, causing thickening.Because some of the managers and operators enterprise financial management consciousness and lack of management concept. To accounts receivable is lack of effective management and collect investigation the author feel. In Shanxi Province in the part of the province tube enterprise still exist serious planned economy of ideas, these people to the market economy can't say don't understand, also cannot say don't understand, the main thing is not starts from oneself, and in practical work is often said the much, do less. Thought is drunk on the production and business operation this center, not how to do well management finance the primacy, failed to do the business management financial management as the center. Financial management to fund management as the center. The management of funds and use only paying attention to how to borrow and spend money, not for existing resources and capital for effective configuration and mobilize. Cause enterprise produced a considerable amount of receivables, also do not actively from the Angle of strengthening management, so lots of money to clean up the long-term retention outside. Affected the enterprise normal production and operation activities and the efficient use of the funds.The drawbacks of the receivable mismanagementReduce enterprise funds use efficiency, make enterprise profits down because of enterprise logistics and cash flow not consistent, merchandise shipped, prescribing sales invoices. Payment is not keeping pace recovery, and sales have established, this not up recovery entry sales. Certainly will cause no cash inflow generated sales tax on profits and losses, and sales income paid and years be paid in advance. If involves span more than to sales revenue account receivable. Then can produce enterprise by current assets paid annual shareholders dividend. Enterprise for such pursuit arising from the pad surface benefits and tax payment paid shareholders take up a lot of liquidity, as time passes will influence enterprise capital turnover. Which led to the enterprise actual operation situation veiled. Influence enterprise production plan and sales plan, etc, can't realize the set benefit goal.Exaggerated enterprise operating results. Because our country enterprise executes accounting foundation is the accrual (receivable meet system). The current credit happened all to write down current income. Therefore, the enterprise account profit increase does not mean that can meet the schedule of realizing cash inflows. Accounting system requires the enterprise in accordance with the percentage of account receivable balance to extract the provision for, the provision for a 5% rates generally for 3% (special enterprise except). If the actual loss of bad happened more than extract the provision for, will give enterprise to bring the great loss. Therefore, the enterprise of account receivable existence. On the TAB virtually increased sales income. In oerstate enterprise operation results. Increased risks of an enterprise cost.Speeding up the enterprise's cash outflows. Sell on credit although can make the enterprise produces more profits, but did not make enterprise cash inflows increase, on the contrary make enterprise had to use limited liquidity to various taxes and fees paid, accelerate the enterprise's cash outflows, main performance for:Enterprise tax payments. Accounts receivable bring sales income. Not actually receive cash, turnover is computational basis with sales, the enterprise must on time pay by cash. Enterprise pay tax as value added tax, business tax, consumption tax, resources tax and urban construction tax, inevitable meeting with sales revenue increases.Income tax payments. Accounts receivable generate revenue, but not in cashincome tax, and realizing cash payment must on time.Cash the distribution of the profits. Also exist such problems. In addition, the cost of the management of accounts receivable and accounts receivable recycling costs will accelerate enterprise cash outflows.The business cycle has influence on enterprise. Operating cycle from obtain inventory to the sales that inventory and withdraw cash this time so far. Operating cycle depends on inventory turnover days and accounts receivable turnover days, the business cycle is combined. From that. Unreasonable accounts receivable existence, make business cycle extended, affected the enterprise capital circulation, make a lot of liquidity precipitation in non-productive link. Cause enterprise cash shortage, influence salaries and raw material purchasing, serious impact on the enterprise normal production and operation.Increased receivables management process. Error probability,brings to the enterprise enterprise to face the additional loss accounts receivable account, possibly to the timely discovery, accounting errors can prompt understanding and other receivables accounts receivable dynamic enterprise details. Cause responsibility unclear. Accounts receivable contract, Taiwan about, commitments, the formalities of examination and approval of such material scattered, lost may make the enterprise has happened on the account receivable unable to receive the full recovery of repayment, the only partially withdraw through legal means. Can recover, but due to material not whole and cannot be recovered, until eventually form the enterprise assets loss.To strengthen the management of accounts receivable methodComprehensive comb, and establish material parameter. For enterprise all kinds of receivables launch a comprehensive system of comb, queuing, check the work. Because in past economic activity business minority, inefficient pattern. Hard to adapt to the market economy requirement, the law of development in the increasingly fierce market competition gradually be eliminated, the enterprise is in production, BanTingChan, failed state, has formed a widespread accounts receivable account for a long (most age 3 years), former party leave the state of operation and the debtor changes etc. Phenomenon, to clear a check increase the difficulty. Workers should browse a large number of original documents, traced back to carefully each individual accounts receivable from the nature, time, happened contents, amount. According to zhang age, systems, area and the possibility of recovery of accounts receivable areclassified. Carefully analyzed collection verify each sum ofmoney and amount. And this system, more likely way back near the door check account receivable; Way to outside the system, and is unlikely to far back of receivables through telephone enquiries, enterprise sent a letter, lawyers sent a letter way to undertake checking: some not so clear accounts receivable multilateral bug verification. Please go back to the original sales personnel, agent help check to ensure that the data obtained by the accurate, reliable and accurate data collected in the visiting for the future of written-off receivables smoothly provide effective legal evidence. More importantly, with the debtor written-off receivables personnel and check accounts concerning the debtor family residence, operation sites, property status, income level made a comprehensive and detailed understanding, and according to the command of the debtor to evaluate solvency debt-repaying possibility. Judge, lock key goals for the next great written-off receivables smoothly and lay the foundation.Multi-pronged approach.we great effort, increase. After the preparation work or do. Accounts receivable written-off receivables entered the substantial "punish collect" crucial stage. In actual work, in order to give attention to collect the magnificence of the enterprise with benefit, one of the debtor to classify, different properties analysis of the debtor to adopt targeted collect method, in order to make the whole written-off receivables achieved good effect. The debtor to business clients. To possess management qualification, sound system, assets in good condition of customers, after consultations communication with the other, try to take groovy gathering way, so that both the collect keep good business cooperation relations; But for malicious long-term default behavior, used first lawyer indemand for collection, correspondence is invalid cases, still choose be representative of the debtor to court, apply for a court for compulsory execution. In the majesty of the law, the other group of a deterrent to repay the debtor will repay arrears, self-consciously plays to the whole written-off receivables to point the impetus with. On the system internal worker arrears. For system inside worker due to illness, life difficult, and many other reason formed non-business temporary loan, first of all, issued a document, clearly stipulates that deadline repossessed; Secondly, a large amount of arrears. Indeed, in a difficult to pay off after consultation with staff. Payment agreement signed. Divide second month in salary charged or deduct; Finally, the internal to laid-off employees and have extra-large disease worker, its economy is really difficult to repay embarrassment. In a humane treatment, offer certain debt relief. Such already make whole written-off receivables reach the expected effect, also can let laid-off workersto their real challenges organization care. Adopting property preservation measures. In the actual collect process. Often encountered some have the repayment ability but reimbursement conditions or timing immature the obligor, collect personnel can cooperate actively court on the debtor's property implement preservation, making cdo in court, under the help of the relevant accounting units and individuals to impose preservation of property. For property preservation at the same time. Appoint our wealth pipe center visit regularly the obligor, closely watching the debtor whereabouts, understand their property status. Once found the debtor reimbursement conditions mature, immediately notify the court, suspend the property preservation, reactivated cases. Applied to the court forcompulsory execution withdraw arrears.Establish customer credit system. Strict credit business formalities for examination and approval from years of written-off receivables accounts receivable see. A few enterprises in experience increased sales push credit sales policy. Did not establish a complete customer credit system, to the customer assets status, reimbursement ability, financial situation, the credit rating don't know much. Even after receivable formation. Find the debtor to punish frequently occurred. There are a few enterprise to the customer credit conditions are too broad. Credit approval rights too scattered, sometimes a sales personnel can decided to sell on credit business formation. Cause some credit rating is low customers easily get credit, increasing the risk of bad loans.Earnestly implement post responsibility system, strict appraisal, rewards and punishments and trenchantSome enterprise although also established a comparatively perfect accounts receivable credit sales, management, a great responsibility and internal control system, but in actual work but become a mere formality, non-existing. Cause the enterprise internal responsibility unclear, the reward is unknown situation. To a certain extent, encourages the formation of large receivables, increasing the operating risk of an enterprise. So only with a good set of system doesn't solve all the problems in the practical work, the key still need to implement these system will reach the designated position, achieves truly in the bud.Foreign source :Friends of the accounting, in 2009 (30) 84 85译文:企业应收账款管理存在的问题及对策汾西矿业化工公司赵爱萍【摘要】公司为了满足扩大销售、增加企业的竞争力、减少库存、降低存货风险和管理开支等的需要,在El 常的经营活动中产生了应收账款。

应收账款外文文献-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One11.Accounts ReceivableOne of the key factors underlying the growth of the American economy is the trend toward selling goods and services on credit. Accounts receivable comprise the largest financial asset of many merchandising companies.Accounts receivable are relatively liquid assets, usually converting into cash within a period of 30 to 60 days. Therefore, accounts receivable from customers usually appear in the balance sheet immediately after cash and short-term investments in marketable securities.2.UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTSAccounts receivable are shown in the balance sheet at the estimated collectible amount—called net realizable value. No business wants to sell merchandise on account to customers who will be able to pay. Many companies maintain their own credit departments that investigate the creditworthiness of each prospective customer. Nonetheless, if a company makes credit sales to hundreds—perhaps thousands—of customers, some accounts inevitably will turn out to be uncollectible.A limited amount of uncollectible accounts is not only expected—it is evidence of a sound credit policy. If the credit department is overly cautious, the business may lose many sales opportunities by rejecting customers who should have been considered acceptable credit risks.3.THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTSThere is no way of telling in advance which accounts receivable will prove to be uncollectible. It is therefore not possible to credit the accounts of specific customers for our estimate of probable uncollectible accounts. Neither should we credit the Accounts Receivable control account in the general ledger. If the Accounts Receivable control accounts were to be credited with the estimated amount of doubtful accounts, this control account would no longer be in balance with the total of the numerous customers’ accounts in the subsidiary ledger. A practical alternative therefore is to credit a separate account called Allowance for Doubtful Accounts with the amount estimated to be uncollectible.The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts often is described as a contra-asset account or a valuation account. Both of these terms indicate that the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance, which is offset against the asset Accounts Receivable to produce a more useful and reliable measure of a company’s liquidity. Because the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is merely an estimate and not a precise calculation, professional judgment plays a considerable role in determining the size of this valuation account.Monthly Adjustment of the Allowance Account In the adjusting entry made by World Famous Toy Co. at January 31, the amount of the adjustment ($10,000) was equal to the estimated amount of uncollectible accounts. This is true only because January was the first month of operations and this was the company’s first estimate of its uncollectible accounts. In future months, the amount of the adjusting entry will depend on two factors: (1) the estimate of uncollectible accounts and (2) the current balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Before we illustrate the adjustingentry for a future month, let us see why the balance in the allowance account may change during the accounting period.WRITING OFF AN UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNT RECEIVABLEWhenever an account receivable from a specific customer is determined to be uncollectible, it no longer qualifies as an asset and should be written off. To write off an account receivable is to reduce the balance of the customer’s account to zero. The journal entry to accomplish this consists of a credit to the Accounts Receivable control account in the general ledger (and to the customer’s account in the subsidiary ledger) and an offsetting debit to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.To illustrate, assume that, early in February, World Famous Toy Co. learns that Discount Stores has gone out of business and that the $4,000 account receivable from this customer is now worthless. The entry to write off this uncollectible account receivable is:Allowance for Doubtful Accounts………………… 4,000Accounts Receivable (Discount Stores)…………………… 4,000To write off the account receivable from Discount Stores as uncollectible.The important thing to note in this entry is that the debit is made to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and not to the Uncollectible Accounts Expense account. The estimated expense of credit losses is charged to the Uncollectible Accounts Expense account at the end of each accounting period. When a specific account receivable is later determined to be worthless and is written off, this action does not represent an additional expense but merely confirms our previous estimate of the expense. If the Uncollectible Accounts Expense account was first charged with estimated credit losses and then later charged with proven credit losses, we would be double-counting the actual uncollectible accounts expense.Notice also that the entry to write off an uncollectible account receivable reduces both the asset account and the contra-asset account by the same amount. Thus writing off an uncollectible account does not change the net realizable value of accounts receivable in the balance sheet.INTERNAL CONTROLS FOR RECEIVABLESOne of the most important principles of internal control is that employees who have custody of cash or other negotiable assets must not maintain accounting records. In a small business, one employee often is responsible for handing cash receipts, maintaining accounts receivable records, issuing credit memoranda, and writing off uncollectible accounts. Such a combination of duties is an invitation to fraud. The employee in this situation is able to remove the cash collected from a customer without making any record of the collection. The next step is to dispose of the balance in the customer’s account. This can be done by issuing a credit memo indicating that the customer has returned merchandise, or by writing off the customer’s account as uncollectible. Thus the employee has the cash, the customer’s account shows a zero balance due, and the books are in balance.In summary, employees who maintain the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger should not have access to cash receipts. The employees who maintain accounts receivable or handle cash receipts should not have authority to issue creditmemoranda or to authorize the write-off of receivables as uncollectible. These are classic examples of incompatible duties.MANAGEMENT OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLEManagement has two conflicting objectives with respect to the accounts receivable. On the one hand, management wants to generate as much sales revenue as possible. Offering customers lengthy credit terms, with little or no interest, has proven to be an effective means of generating sales revenue.Every business, however, would rather sell for cash than on account. Unless receivables earn interest, which usually is not the case, they are nonproductive assets that produce no revenue as they await collection. Therefore, another objective of cash management is to minimize the amount of money tied up in the form of accounts receivable.Several tools are available to a management that must offer credit terms to its customers yet wants to minimize the company’s investment in accounts receivable. We have already discussed offering credit customers cash discounts (such as 2/10,n/30) to encourage early payment. Other tools include factoring accounts receivable and selling to customers who use national credit cards.。

毕业论文文献综述Accounts ReceivableAuthor: M. Elizabeth Haywood, Donald.IntroductionAccounts receivable consists of monies due from customers as a result of an organization's normal business operations. The management of accounts receivable is an extremely important function since the collection of outstanding receivables represents the single most important source of cash for all organizations selling goods on open account. Because of the impact that accounts-receivable collections have on cash flow, it is important that responsibility for the day-to-day management of credit and collections activities be delegated to a single individual within the organization.Accounts Receivable as a Current AssetOn the balance sheet, accounts receivable is reported as a current asset and is considered part of an organization's working capital. As a current asset, accounts receivable is expected to be turned into cash within the annual operating cycle of a business, which for most businesses is generally considered to be one year and corresponds to the twelve-month fiscal year used for financial reporting purposes. This, however, does not imply that it should take one year to collect individual receivable balances.In the case of a university press, accounts receivable represents a major component of current assets, working capital, and cash flow. The other major components of a university press's working capital are cash, short-term investments, and inventory. As a component of working capital, accounts receivable must be carefully managed in order to be turned into cash as quickly as possible and to avoid becoming uncollectible. Although accounts receivable is reported as a current asset, it must be carefully valuated and reported because until the receivable is collected, it cannot readily assist with the paying of current obligations.Accounts Receivable and Collections ReportsBecause of the significance of accounts receivable it is important for management to receive periodic reports that both measure the effectiveness of collection activities and inform or alert management of problem accounts. Ideally, reports should be generated on a monthly basis,but depending on the size of the receivable balance and collections staff, the issuance of such reports may range from weekly to quarterly. This flow of information is necessary so that management and collections staff can determine whether current credit and collections policies and procedures are working, or whether any of the policies and procedures need to be changed to more effectively collect outstanding receivables. Additionally, the collections staff needs information so that collection activities can be prioritized, problem accounts isolated, and outstanding balances collected.Analysis of Accounts Receivable and CollectionsA number of methods are used to measure accounts-receivable balances and the effectiveness of collection policies and procedures. Some of the more frequently used methods to analyze accounts receivable and collections includeA/R at Year End as a Percentage of Total Sales. This ratio is computed by dividing the fiscal year-end A/R balance by fiscal year net sales. The AAUP Statistical Survey reported averages between 21.6 percent and 23.0 percent for fiscal years 1992 through 1995. This ratio can also be computed at any time during the year; however, to get a meaningful ratio, the A/R balance must be divided by net sales for the most recent twelve months.Average Collection Period. This ratio is an indication of the average number of days required to convert receivables into cash. Ideally, the computation should use a monthly average of receivables and include only credit sales. A monthly average of receivables should be used in order to offset any fluctuations that may occur during the year. Additionally, only credit sales should be used in this computation since cash sales usually do not involve any credit risk. The computation of the average collection period is a two-step process. First divide total sales (preferably credit sales only) for the fiscal year by 365. This calculation yields the amount of credit sales per day. Then divide the year-end receivable balance (or average monthly receivable balance) by the credit sales per day. The result is the average collection period in days. The AAUP Statistical Survey reported average collection periods of 77 to 91 days for fiscal year 1995 and 80 to 95 days for fiscal year 1994.A/R Aging Schedule. This is a periodic report used to determine the priorities of collection activities. An aging schedule lists all customer accounts with outstanding balances as of the date of the aging schedule, one account per line. Across the line, the total amount due is broken down, or aged, by overdue categories. The overdue categories generally include current (not yet due), 1 to 30 days past due, 30 to 60 days past due, 60 to 90 days past due, and over 90 days past due. The aging categories may need to be adjusted to properly reflect an organization's terms of sales.A/R Aging by Customer Type or Payment Terms. This is a variation of the A/R Aging Schedule and can be used to more effectively target accounts that require the attention of the collections staff. A more focused schedule also allows comparisons to be drawn between similar accounts.Bad Debt Expense as Percentage of Total Sales. This ratio is computed by dividing year-end bad debt expense by net sales. The AAUP Statistical Survey reported averages of 0.4 percent and 0.5 percent for fiscal years 1992 through 1995.Bad Debt Expense as Percentage of A/R Balance. This ratio is computed by dividing year- end bad debt expense by the year-end (or average) A/R balance. The AAUP Statistical Survey reported averages between 1.8 percent and 2.0 percent for the fiscal years 1992 through 1995.Credit Department Monthly Report. This is a summary report that helps management monitor the monthly accounts-receivable status and collections activities. A typical report would include current month and prior month balances for accounts receivable, total collections, and total net sales. Additionally, some ratios might be included, such as the average collections period. Bad debt comparison would include bad debt write-off for the current month, fiscal year to date, and last fiscal year to date. Finally, a summary of the number of accounts and balances in each aging category should be included. There is no universal, or standard, format for this type of report. For a credit department monthly report to be truly effective, it must be tailored to the needs and reporting capabilities of each individual press. The idea of this report is to provide management with a one-page summary of collection results each month.The percentage ratios (A/R as percentage of net sales, bad debt as percentage of net sales, and bad debt as percentage of A/R balance) are only useful when compared to industry averages (such as AAUP statistics) or to historical data for your particular university press. Average collection period, on the other hand, has to be analyzed on a press-by-press basis because of differences in publishing programs and in the allocation of sales among types of customers that may have different terms of payment. An overall comparison to industry averages may or may not be helpful in analyzing a press's average collection period.When analyzing accounts receivable it is important to remember that there are no universal standards for measuring accounts receivable and collections. Each press must evaluate its own situation and develop individual internal trends and goals. It is, of course, helpful to review AAUP averages to assist in your internal evaluation. How ever, one must remember that AAUP and other industry averages are only averages and should never be considered the ideal. Also, when performing internal analysis it is important to take cyclical sales patterns and unusual events into consideration and to take caution to measure accounts receivable and collections results with similar periods.Credit Management and Bad DebtPress management and the collections staff also need to realize that it is impossible to reduce accounts receivable beyond a certain point, nor should an organization strive for no bad debts. Each press must develop its own level of satisfaction and its own comfort zone in order to know when and on which accounts to concentrate collections efforts. Likewise, each press must develop its own level of comfort in determining when to sell to new accounts. It is important to expect some level of bad debt, because with no, or a very low level of, bad debts, the press is not maximizing its sales potential. Presses have to be willing to take some chances to increase sales, while at the same time understanding that not all chances taken will yield positive results. Presses that are more aggressive in granting credit must make sure that anadequate reserve for bad debt is maintained on the balance sheet or budget for a possible increase in bad debt expense.Proactive Credit ManagementIn addition to analyzing accounts receivable and reviewing internal trends and past performance, and organization must be as proactive as possible to maximize collections. The organization that calls first will usually get paid first. To keep on top of collections it is important to have written collection policies and terms. These written policies must have the agreement and support of management, marketing, and the collections staff. Written policies should be reviewed annually and updated as needed to incorporate any changes that are taking place in the press's publishing program.Having policies and procedures in writing should eliminate discrepancies in what customers are told by the collections, customer service, and marketing staffs. This will then give the customer one less excuse for delaying payment. Additionally, when all members of the press staff are knowledge able about the press's credit and collections policies and are aware of how past-due accounts are handled, they can more effectively work together to maximize sales and minimize bad debt.The analysis of accounts receivable and collections performance should be used to assist the press in setting goals for future performance. However, accounts-receivable analysis will not be of any real benefit unless the press has a proactive credit and collections program in place that has the support of press management and is communicated effectively to all press departments and customers.M.

INTRODUCTIONAccounts receivable is the money owed to a company as a result of having sold its products to customers on credit. The primary determinants of the company's investment in accounts receivable are the industry, the level of total sales along with the company's credit and the collection policies. Accounts receivable management includes establishing a credit and collections policy.Credit policy consists of four variables: credit period, discounts given for early payment, credit standards and collection policy. The three primaryissues in accounts receivable management are to whom credit should be extended, the terms of the creditand the procedure that should be used to collect the money.The major decision regarding accounts receivable is the determination of the amount and terms of credit to extend to customers. The total amount of accounts receivable outstanding at any given time is determined by two factors: the volume of credit sales and the average length of time between sales and collections. The credit terms offered have a direct bearing on the associated costs and revenue to be generated from receivables. If credit terms are tight, there will be less of an investment in accounts receivable and fewer bad debt losses, but there will also be lower sales and reduced profits.We hypothesize that by applying scientifically-based accounts receivable management and by establishing a credit policy that results in the highest net earnings, companies can earn a satisfactory profit as well as a return on investment.The purpose of this study is to determine ways of finding an optimal accounts receivable level along with making optimum use of different credit policies in order to achieve a maximum return at an acceptable level of risk. In striving to fill in the gaps relating to net savings from changes in credit policy, the study makes its own contribution to research and thereby to managers by giving them general recommendation. With the aim of completing these gaps, the study will investigate accounts receivables, their management and explore costs and benefits from changes in credit policy as well as net profitability.When a company is considering changes in its credit policy in order to improve its income, incremental profitability must be compared with the cost of discount andthe opportunity cost associated with higher investment in accounts receivable.The outcome represents a new mathematical model for calculating net savings from changes in credit policy and with this model a company can consider different credit policies as well as changes in credit policy in order to improve its income and profitability.2. LITERATURE REVIEW2.1. Accounts receivable managementAccounts receivable represents a sizable percentage of most firms' assets. Investments in accounts receivable, particularly for manufacturing companies, represent a significant part of short-term financial management. Firms typically sell goods and services on both cash and a credit basis. Firms would rather sell for cash than on credit, but competitive pressures force most firms to offer credit. The extension of trade credit leads to the establishment of accounts receivable. Receivables represent credit sales that have not been collected. As the customers pay these accounts, the firm receives the cash associated with the original sale. If the customer does not pay an account, a bad debt loss is incurred1.When a credit sale is made, the following events occur: inventories are reduced by the cost of goods sold, accounts receivable are increased by the sales price, and the difference is profit, which is added to retained earnings. If the sale is for cash, then the cash from the sale has actually been received by the firm, but if the sale is on credit, the firm will not receive the cash from the sale unless and until the account is collected. Carrying receivable has both direct and indirect costs, but it also has an important benefit-increased sales.According to Chambers and Lacey there are three primary issues in the management of accounts receivable: to whom to extend credit, what the terms of the credit should be, and what procedure should be used to collect the money. Extending credit should be based upon a comparison of costs and benefits. The analysis must build in uncertainty because we are uncertain of future payment, and we will handle this by computing theexpected costs and expected benefits through payment probabilities. The potential cost of extending credit is that the customer will not pay. Although there is a temptation to compute this cost as the full price of the product, it is almost always more appropriate to use the actual cost of the product. The potential benefit of extending credit is not just the hope for profit on the one transaction; rather, it is the potential value of the customer for a long-term relationship.The decision of how much credit to offer must be made when the customer initially requests credit and when the customer requests additional credit. The fundamental principle that guides financial decisions can be used: marginal benefit versus marginal cost. The marginal cost is the additional potential lost costs of the product. The costs of past uncollected sales are sunk costs and should not be included as a marginal costs. The marginal benefits are the potential sales and interest revenues –including the potential to recover past sales that remain uncollected.Once the decision to grant credit has been made, the firm must establish the terms of the credit. Credit terms are often separated into two parts: the credit periodand the credit discount.Collection of accounts receivable is an important process for a corporation and requires a well-designed and well-implemented policy. One technique is the factoring of accounts receivables. In a typical factoring arrangement, one firm will sell their accounts receivable outright to another firm for an agreed-upon price. There ia usually no recourse in such transactions, such that the buyer (also known as the factor) takes the loss if the purchaser of the goods does not ultimately pay for them.Another technique to expedite the receipt of accounts receivable is to utilize lock boxes. Lock boxes are payment collection locations spread geographically so as to reduce the amount of time required for checks mailed to the firm to be deposited and cleared. The lock boxes are typically post office box addresses from which deposits go directly to abank on the day of receipt. The reduction of mailing time and check clearing time for the banks can produce significant savings when large sums of money are involved.Payments of accounts receivable should be closely monitored to detect potential problems such as would be indicated by slow payments. Following up on slow-paying customers is an important function of the credit department. Procedures should be carefully developed and consistently implemented.The major decision regarding accounts receivable is the determination of the amount and terms of credit to extend to customers. The total amount of accounts receivable is determined by two factors: the volume of credit sales and the average length of time between sales and collections. The credit terms offered have a directbearing on the associated costs and revenue to be generated from receivables.In evaluating a potential customer’s ability to pay, consideration should be given to the firm’s integrity, financial soundness, collatera l to be pledged, and current economic conditions. A customer’s credit soundness may be evaluated through quantitative techniques such as regression analysis. Bad debt losses can be estimated reliably when a company sells to many customers and when its credit policies have not changed for a long period of time. In managing accounts receivable, the following procedures are recommended:• establish a credit policy• establish a policy concerning billing• establish a policy concerning collection.The establishment of a credit policy can include the following activities: • A detailed review of a potential customer’s soundness should be made prior to extending credit. Procedures such as a careful review of the customer’s financial statements and credit r ating, as well as a review of financial service reports are common.• As customer financial health changes, credit limit should be revised.• Marketing factors must be noted since an excessively restricted credit policy will lead to lost sales.• The polic y is financially appropriate when the return on the additional sales plus the lowering in inventory costs is greater than the incremental cost associated with the additional investment in accounts receivable. The following procedures are recommended in establishing a policy concerning billing:• Customer statements should be sent within 1 day subsequent to the close of the period.• Large sales should be billed immediately.• Customers should be invoiced for goods when the order is processed rather than when it is shipped.• Billing for services should be done on an interim basis or immediately prior to the actual services. The billing process will be more uniform if cycle billing is employed.• The use of seasonal dating’s should be considered.In establishing a policy concerning collection the following procedures should be used:• Accounts receivable should be aged in order to identify delinquent and high-risk customers. The aging should be compared to industry norms. • Collection efforts should be underta ken at the very first sign of customer financial unsoundness6.2.2. Managing the credit policyThe success or failure of a business depends primarily on the demand for its products.The major determinants of demand are sales prices, product quality, advertising,and the company’s credit policy. The financial manager is responsible for administering the company’s credit policy. Receivables management begins with the credit policy. Credit policy consists of four majorcomponents: credit standards, credit terms, the credit limit and collection procedures.Credit standards refer to the required financial strength of acceptable credit customers.Based on financial analysis and non financial data, the credit analyst determines whether each credit applicant exceeds the credit standard and thus qualifies for credit. Lower credit standards boost sales, but also increase bad debts. The minimum standards a customer must meet to be extended credit are: character, capital, capacity, conditions and collateral. The credit period, stipulating how long from the invoice the customer has to pay, and the cash discount together comprise the seller’s credit terms.A company’s credit terms are usually very similar to that of other companies in its industry7.Discounts given for early payment include the discount percentage and how rapidly payment must be made to qualify for the discount.If credit is extended, the dollar amount that cumulative credit purchases can reach for a given customer constitutes that customer’s credit limit. The customer periodically pays for credit purchases, freeing up that amount of the credit limit for further orders. The two primary determinants of the amount of a customer’s credit limit are requirements for the supplier’s products and the ability of the c ustomer to pay its debts. The latter factor is based primarily on the customer’s recent paymentrecord with the seller and others and a review and analysis of the customer’s most recent financial statements8Detailed statements regarding when and how the company will carry out collection of past-due accounts make up the company’s collection procedures. These policies specify how long the company will wait past the due date to initiate collection efforts, the methods of contact with delinquent customers, and whether and at what point accounts will be referred to an outside collection agency9.Collection policy is measured by its toughness or laxity in attempting to collect on slow-paying accounts. A tough policy may speed up collections, by it might also anger customers, causing them to take their business elsewhere10A firm may liberalize its credit policy by extanding full credit to presently limited credit customers or to non-credit customers. Full credit should be given only if net profitability occurs. A financial manager has to compare the earnings on sales obtained to the added cost of the receivables. The additional earnings represent the contribution margin on the incremental sales because fixed costs are constant. The additional costs on the additional receivables result from the greater number of bad debts and the opportunity cost of tying up funds in receivables for a longer time period.If a firm considers offering credit to customers with a higher-than-normal risk rating, the profitability on additional sales generated must be compared with the amount of additional bad debts expected, higher investing and collection costs, and the opportunity cost of tying up funds in receivables for a longer period of time. Whenidle capacity exists, the additional profitability represents the incremental contribution margin (sales less variable costs) since fixed costs remain the same.译文公司应收账款的管理埃莉奥诺拉克罗地亚预算和财务部门经理1.引言应收账款是指由于企业将其产品销售给客户而应向购买单位收取的款项。

例如,许多公司加快海外扩张和并购的步伐,许多企业选择并购来渡过难关。
正如我们所知道的,并购一定会有风险,比如:目标公司的评估,交易方法,或财务风险的选择。
如何才能避免这些风险?我们要选择哪种方法?这就是这篇文章的目的。
1.并购导致财务风险的原因1.1高估或低估了公司价值带来的风险1.1.1信息不对称是影响估计的主要因素由于信息不对称,目标公司一直隐瞒不良信息和夸大良好的信息。
投标人还夸大自己的实力,他们所披露的情况不足或失真。
因此,贸然行动的失败结果随处可见。
有很多有关风险的资料,两个重要的例子就是:第一,股票风险,公平对任何一家公司都是很重要的,但所提供的信息和真实情况之间存在着差异,这些虚假的信息威胁到并购的成功;第二,债务信息的风险,如果没有发现这种风险,庞大的债务将毫无缘由的转嫁到投标人身上。
1.1.2缺乏合理的评估方法有三种评估方法:成本法、市场法、收益法,这其中,市场法要求有关信息的对称性要高,只有当信息评价具有高对称性时才可以对企业作出准确判断。
然而,在我国,信息对称水平低,小企业采用这种方法。
他们大多采用替代法和收益法。
这两个方法也有缺点,重置成本反映历史成本,不能反映未来盈利能力;就算把现值看做增值的收入,它也明显的缺陷,那就是,未来的收入预期是不同的。

附录原文Receivable managementWith the development of enterprises, a gradual increase in accounts receivable, the rising cost of funds, and enterprises to increase their market share, reducing the provision of goods or services on credit services, credit rating, to obtain more business channels and expand sales. In this case enterprises can not be sufficient liquidity to pay day-to-day management activities and related taxes and fees, they need to rely on bank loans to solve this problem. However, the heavy interest, but also further increase the cost of the enterprise, and with the growth of accounts receivable aging, and its loss of the possibility of bad debts have also increased, so that the cost of capital rise. Some enterprises also exist as a result of malicious arrears accounts, and accounts receivable collection enterprises basically rely on their own collection, resulting in the recovery of accounts receivable due to unnecessary cost increases can not be transferred, the cost of capital increase, increasing accounts receivable risk recovery section.1 Accounts receivable risk causesFirst, the causes of accounts recevableTo promote the sale of enterprises and accelerate the collection, to pay a certain cost to provide customers with a certain degree of credit terms. In determining the customer's credit terms, the enterprise must ensure that customer credit terms to provide the benefits to the enterprise greater than the cost of credit. If the credit period is too long, the blind implementation of the cash discount, or discount rate determined unreasonable, all the credit companies will only increase costs and increase the recovery of accounts receivable risks and cost recovery is not conducive to the development of enterprises. The lack of a number of small and medium enterprises engaged in full-time accounts receivable risk management, the lack of a sound and effective customer profiles and professional credit rating, credit limits and creditcontrol, there is no risk of bad debts in advance, a matter of prevention and control.Many enterprises, wages and benefits linked to the operating mode, the operator simply allows the pursuit of high-margin, commodity or the provision of credit blind services, to create indicators met or surpassed the illusion, do not consider value for money and recyclability, and increase business accounts receivable risk. Enterprise internal control system in a large number of claims for clean-up funds, poor collection, resulting in financial losses. Corporate accounting departments should timely accounting, accounts receivable reflect the situationcorrectly. However, the prevalence of accounting in debt, debt accounts do not wither in time the entire problem of cleaning up failed to claim the funds, check, and many of the business of money is unknown, the possibility of increased bad debts. In order to inflated corporate profits, capital losses and the current cost of long-term hanging on subjects dealing with accounts receivable, resulting in actual loss virtual surplus. The existence of these issues to cover up the of business losses, is not conducive to strengthening the management of enterprises easily create the illusion of false claims, resulting in distortion of accounting information, serious impact on information usersmake the right decisions.Second, accounts receivable management and prevent risks(A)receivables in advance of risk controlBad debt risk is an objective existence, as long as there is likely to have bad credit. Not all accounts receivable can be passed on, all can be avoided, so must be provision for bad debts. Enterprises should be fully estimated bad debt losses that may occur will be the impact of gains and losses, bad debts on schedule extract prepared to break down the risk of bad debt losses. Their provision is based on sound principles and the principle of proportion. Accounting system of China's enterprises, enterprises can only account for bad debt allowance for loss method. Allowance for bad debts is estimated that loss of time, the formation of bad debts. Have to guard against the risk of bad debts, to resist the loss of identity, is to guard against the risk of accounts receivable of the first barrier. Accounts receivable as a bad loss does not mean that companies give up to obtain the right to accounts receivable, business units should continue to pay attention to the debt situation, as far as possible to recover thereceivable. Clear job responsibilities, the establishment of system of personal responsibility. ShouldAccounts receivable management is a system, in accordance with the relevant provisions of enterprises, improve the sales management system, a clear job responsibilities and business processes for the refinement of management; to negotiate the contract, opening, distribution and delivery, to go out and receivables and other business-related departments and staff to ensure that the mutual separation of incompatible duties. The various departments to carry out their duties, fulfill their duties, responsible, responsibility to the people, to maximize the recovery of accounts receivable, to shorten the accounts receivable collection period,To reduce the bad debt losses. Enterprises in the sales process, should be granted in strict accordance with the customer's credit trading volume control, and in accordance with the principle of limited authorization in the enterprise at all levels within the respective provisions of the credit limit may be granted. Hierarchical management system that is conducive to business at a reasonable credit limits, credit limits businesses to deal with the implementation of regular inspection and analysis, to ensure that the credit limit of safety and reasonable. Credit standards in the process, through comprehensive analysis, to find out will not affect the sales will not increase the risk of the optimal point of balance. Credit terms including credit terms and cash discounts, to extend the credit period to be appropriate to expand sales, but it can also result in accounts receivable to increase the opportunity cost of occupancy, at the same time increase the risk of bad debt losses. Enterprises to deal with different clients in credit and making necessary adjustments so that it has always been able to keep the scope of enterpriseInside. Business units in determining the credit terms and credit limit of credit before the credit must be made to understand and carry out the assessment, given the appropriate credit standards, thus the effective control of accounts receivable. Credit analysis from the quality of enterprises, capital, capacity, collateral and credit situation in these five cases are analyzed.(B)Accounts receivable risk control thingsFinancial sector client money received should be recorded or made such an inquiryprocedure, it is necessary to control the contract and customer requirements to issue bills of lading, and sent to transport personnel or customer receipt, the transport sector should be organized according to the bill of lading shipments, and to ensure that the specifications of the goods, model, the number is correct, should be based on bills of lading after delivery to customers, such as timely invoicing, payment settlement process. Contracts should be standardized, in line with the requirements of contract law, the subject of the contract, the quantity, quality, delivery time, delivery location, payment method and careful assessment of liability for breach of contract and decide whether to accept the orders, thereby enabling business conduct standardized and refinement. As far as possible, enterprises should use their own settlement in a favorable settlement and advanced means to return the funds to accelerate and shorten the time in-transit funds.(C)the risk of accounts receivable after the controlControl of accounts receivable, including credit contract after the expiration of the recovery of funds control and funds due to various reasons could not be recovered due to the formation of bad debts and losses. Business enterprises through the establishment of accounts receivable management information system, credit process from beginning to the accounts receivable due date ofFollow-up supervision of clients to ensure that customers normally pay the purchase price, minimizing the incidence of overdue accounts. Accounts receivable tracking service, to maintain good relations with customers, but also allows customers to feel the pressure of creditors, greatly improve the recovery of accounts receivable. Maintained through regular contact with customers to remind them of their payment due date can also be found in the packaging of goods, quality, transport, and billing problems and disputes in a timely manner to make the appropriate decision-making.Arising from the sale of customer accounts receivable management has become a fund management business, money management, an important part. For enterprises to implement high-quality accounts receivable asset securitization, the lack of liquidity of enterprises, but can produce a stable predictable cash flows of assets, asset structure through the integration and separation of the assets of credit in order to guarantee some assets, controlled by the trustee issued a special ad hoc bodies, in thecapital market.

会计信息质量中英文对照外文翻译文献
中英文对照外文翻译(文档含英文原文和中文翻译)会计信息质量在投资中的决策作用对私人信息和监测的影响一、简介管理者与外部资本的供应商信息是不对称的,在这种情况下企业是如何影响金融资本的投资的呢?越来越多的证据表明,会计质量越好,越可以减少信息的不对称和对融资成本的约束。
与此相一致的可能性是,减少了具有更高敏感性的会计质量的公司的投资对内部产生的现金流量。
威尔第和希拉里发现,对企业投资和与投资相关的会计质量容易不足,是容易引发过度投资的原因。
当投资效率低下时,会计的质量重要性可以减轻外部资本的影响,供应商有可能获得私人信息或可直接监测管理人员。
通过访问个人信息与控制管理行为,外部资本的供应商可以直接影响企业的投资,降低了会计质量的重要性。
符合这个想法的还有比德尔和希拉里的比较会计对不同国家的投资质量效益的影响。
他们发现,会计品质的影响在于美国投资效益,而不是在日本。
他们认为,一个可能的解释是不同的是债务和股权的美国版本的资本结构混合了SUS的日本企业。
我们研究如何通过会计质量灵敏度的重要性来延长不同资金来源对企业的投资现金流量的不同影响。
直接测试如何影响不同的融资来源会计,通过最近获得了债务融资的公司来投资敏感性现金流的质量的效果,债务融资的比较说明了对那些不能够通过他们的能力获得融资的没有影响。
为了缓解这一问题,我们限制我们的样本公司有所有最近获得的债务融资和利用访问的差异信息和监测通过公共私人债务获得连续贷款的建议。
我们承认,投资内部现金流敏感性可能较低获得债务融资的可能性。
然而,这种可能性偏见拒绝了我们的假设。
具体来说,我们确定的数据样本证券公司有1163个采样公司(议会),通过发行资本公共债务或银团债务。
我们限制我们的样本公司最近获得的债务融资持有该公司不断融资与借款。
然而,在样本最近获得的债务融资的公司,也有可能是信号,在资本提供进入私人信息差异和约束他们放在管理中的行为。
相关理论意味着减少公共债务持有人获取私人信息,因而减少借款有效的监测。

本科毕业论文(设计)外文翻译原文:Accounts Receivable Financing and Information Asymmetry Abstract:This study investigates the effect of information asymmetry between managers and outsiders on the use of accounts receivable in financing the firm’s operations. Th e information impounded in receivables pertains to the firm’s customers rather than the firm and therefore differs from the information embedded in other assets. The unique information content of accounts receivable makes it a likely candidate to use as a financing tool for highly information asymmetric firms. Consistent with the Pecking Order Theory, I find that the likelihood of using accounts receivable financing increases with the firm’s information asymmetry. I also find that the innate component of th e firm’s earnings quality measure is more influential than the discretionary component in explaining the use of AR financing.Keywords: Information asymmetry, capital structure, asset-backed financing, receivables.1. IntroductionAccounts receivable (hereafter, AR) are open accounts owed to the firm by trade customers. They are part of the firm’s working capital and constitute 14 percent of 2005 US industrial firms’ total assets, making them one of the largest asset groups on industrial firms’ balance she et. AR serve as a tool for firms to extend credit to their business partners and are often instrumental in facilitating sale of goods.From a creditor standpoint, the information characteristics associated with AR differ from other firm’s assets. While the information on firm’s other assets is related to the firm’s performance, the information on the firm’s AR and their value depends on other firms’ performance, i.e. the customers. Furthermore, AR share many attributes of financial assets, including their reparability and relative liquidity. Theseattributes of AR, as well as the diversification effect of multiple customers comprising the receivable account on the balance sheet, make this asset different and potentially lower in its information asymmetry tha n the rest of the firm’s assets.The Pecking Order Theory (Myers, 1984 and Myers and Majluf, 1984) predicts that firms characterized by asymmetric information will tend to use the least information sensitive financing options available to them before turning to other options which may be mispriced by the market. Boot and Thakor (1993) show that value can be added in splitting an asset into two separate securities; one informational sensitive, the other less so. In this study, I investigate whether the distinct information characteristics of AR increases the likelihood of using AR as a tool in financing when information asymmetry between firm’s management and outsiders increases.Using a unique hand collected dataset of all COMPUSTAT firms available for the fiscal year 2005 in the two 2-digit SIC code industries 73 and 37 (business services and transportation equipment), which are characterized by high ratios of AR to assets, I test whether the firm’s information asymmetry is related to its decision to use AR financing. AR financing is defined as any type of financing which distinctly relies on AR, either as collateral or as an eligibility requirement and includes the following types of financing: securitization, factoring, AR collateralized debt, and collateralized debt with an AR eligibility requirement. Remaining observations are divided between two additional groups: firms having debt collateralized by many assets which do not specifically mention AR and firms using uncollateralized debt or debt collateralized by assets other than AR (such as mortgages).I first explore the association between leverage and the use of AR financing. I find that on average, firms that use AR financing have higher leverage relative to firms that do not use AR financing. I then test whether information asymmetry is related to the decision of the firm to use AR financing, after controlling for leverage. I find that the use of AR financing is associated with three sets of proxies of the firm’s information asymmetry: 1) analyst forecasts (both standard deviation and absolute forecast error), 2) balance sheet based variables that have been found to be correlated with information asymmetry, and 3) disclosure (both quality of earnings as well asvoluntary disclosure through management’s e arnings guidance). Results suggest that the likelihood of AR financing increases with the firm’s information asymmetry.Additionally, I separate the firms that do not use AR financing into two groups, one of firms that use general collateralized debt and the other of firms that do not, and conduct a multinomial regression analysis. The information asymmetry proxies are significant and stronger for the AR financing group than for the general collateralized debt group suggesting that results are driven by the unique information characteristics of AR and not by the use of collateralized debt. I also separate the AR financing firms into two groups. The first group has an AR financing agreement in place but has a zero-balance at the end of the fiscal year and the second group has a positive balance at the end of the year. The coefficients of the information asymmetry proxies are not significant for the zero-balance group suggesting that these firms are characterized by lower information asymmetry than firms that make use of their facilities.In order to shed light on which component of the corporate information environment –the economic / innate component and the managerial discretionary component –is more influential in explaining the decision to use AR financing, I decompose the earnings quality measure into its two components. Consistent with Francis et al. (2005) and Bhattacharya et al. (2007), I find that the innate component is more influential in explaining the decision to use AR financing. These results are robust to an alternative method of decomposition of the information environment proxy which relies on the principal component analysis and the use of two additional accounting measures that have been found to be correlated with the discretionary component of the information environment; earning volatility and abnormal accruals.Previous literature includes analysis of the financial structures employed to manage a firm’s AR (Mian and Smith, 1992), as well as research pertaining to some specific forms of AR financing such as factoring (Sopranzetti ,1998); however, the effect of the firm’s information asymmetry on the choice to use AR as a financing tool has not been directly investigated. My study contributes to the existing literature in the following ways: (1) it suggests that using a specific asset with information content different than the rest of the firm’s assets, namely AR, may alleviate agencyproblems that arise from information asymmetry; (2) it adds to the literature suggesting that the innate component of the earnings quality measure is more influential than the discretionary component when evaluating information risk; (3) It uses a unique hand collected data set to document the choice between AR financing and other financing options and provides descriptive evidence on the characteristics of the firms using the different forms of AR financing.The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 discusses AR financing and the role of information asymmetry in firm’s financing and develops the hypotheses tested in this study. Section 3 discusses the research design. Section 4 describes the dataset and provides descriptive statistics of the firms by industry and by AR financing choice. Section 5 displays the empirical results and section 6 concludes.2. Background and Development of Hypotheses2.1. AR FinancingTrade receivables represent credit given by firms to their business partners. These accounts are effectively short and long term financing that is extended not by financial intermediaries or the market, but by suppliers to their customers. Calomiris et al. (1995) find that during downturns, firms in strong financial conditions act as financial intermediaries to other firms and extend credit. When market liquidity is low, trade credit is an important tool to keep firms afloat, thus making receivables more important when credit is scarce. Giannetti et al (2007) study firms receiving trade credit. One of their main findings is that trade credit given by suppliers seems to convey favorable information to other potential lenders to the firm. Peterson and Rajan (1997) focus on small firms and find evidence that suppliers lend to smaller firms because they have a comparative advantage in getting information about them. Both of these findings sugg est that the information content of a firm’s receivables is endogenous to the decision of the firm to extend the credit and adds to the information in the market on these firms. Management, however, may still have additional information regarding these assets than other market participants, if customers are comprised of small, information asymmetric, firms.In this study, I focus on the supplier’s side of AR. Firms that extend credit totheir customers have to finance it by using internal funds, taking on debt or issuing equity. I investigate the firms that specifically use their AR in debt contracting. AR financing is defined as any type of financing which distinctly relies on AR, either as collateral or as an eligibility requirement. The financing options include: securitization of AR (both on and off balance sheet), factoring of receivables (both on and off balance sheet), AR collateralized debt, and general collateralized debt which contains an AR eligibility requirement. This financing is usually short term and includes on the one end of the spectrum credit facilities which are determined, among other things, by the amount of eligible AR the firm holds at any given time and on the other end of the spectrum securitization facilities which issue short/long term paper against pools of trade/financing receivables.Mian and Smith (1992) use the AICPA survey of firms to study the choice firms make between different AR management policies such as factoring, accounts receivable secured debt, captive finance subsidiaries and general corporate credit. They find that size, concentration and credit standing of the firm’s traded debt and commercial paper are important in explaining the firm’s choices between the alternative policies. The larger more credit worthy firms establishes captives, while the smaller, riskier firms issue accounts receivable secured debt. Each of the specific policies has also been studied. Sopranzetti (1998) models factoring of accounts receivable with respect to the recourse conditions and finds that high bankruptcy firms may not be able to factor their receivables even with full recourse. Klapper (2005) finds evidence suggesting that lines of credit secured by accounts receivable are associated with business borrowers who exhibit a high risk of default. Sufi (2009) studies the role of bank lines of credit in corporate finance and finds that these revolving facilities are used as a liquidity substitute only for firms that maintain high cash flows. The above studies highlight the many differences between the policies as well as the different characteristics of firms using each. These firms are characterized by a wide range of sizes, balance sheet strength and operating results. This study explores whether the firm’s information asymmetry characteris tic is a common factor that may explain a firm’s choice to use AR as a financing tool.2.2. Financing under asymmetric informationCapital structure has been extensively studied. Led by the seminal paper of Modigliani and Miller (1958) claiming that absent taxes and agency costs, the financing decision does not affect the value of a firm, researchers have been testing each of the underlying assumptions in order to explain the differences in firms’ capital structure. Trade-off between the advantages of tax shields and the costs of bankruptcy, agency costs of debt, and the costs of signaling lead a firm to target a specific capital structure. In contrast, the Pecking Order Theory, introduced by Myers (1984) & Myers and Majluf (1984), uses the costs of adverse selection which stem from the information asymmetry between managers and outsiders to explain the manager’s choice of capital structure. The Pecking Order Theory predicts that firms with high information asymmetry will finance their activities first using internal funds, then with low risk debt and finally with equity, as the riskier options may be mispriced by the market. Therefore, leverage will increase with information asymmetry. Both theories have been backed by empirical literature.Source: Hagit Levy,2010. “Accounts Receivable Financing and Information Asymmetry” .
