Frequency (quarterly & annually)
Forward looking (limited prospective information)
Accruals & Cash Flows
• Foundations of accrual accounting are revenue recognition & expense
matching
• Short term accruals are yield current assets and current liabilities (also
called working capital accruals)
• Long term accruals are yield non-current assets and non-current
liabilities (arise mainly from capitalization)
*) Note: Analysis research suggests short term accruals are more
useful in company valuation
Accruals & Cash Flows
• The conceptual superiority of accrual accounting over C/F arises
because the accrual-based income statement (and balance sheet) is
more relevant for measuring a company’s present and future cash-
generating capacity.
Revenue recognition & expense matching yields an income number
superior to C/F for evaluating “financial performance”
Accrual accounting produces a balance sheet that more accurately
reflects the “financial condition” or level of resources available to
the company to generate future C/F
Accrual income is a superior predictor of future C/F than are
current C/F because
(1) through revenue recognition, accrual income reflects future
C/F consequences
(2) Accrual accounting better aligns inflows & outflows over time
through the matching process (this means income is more
stable and dependable predictor of C/F)
Accrual & cash flow (myths)
OPERATING INCOME :
• income that arises from a company’s operating activities
THE CONCEPTS OF INCOME (Accounting)
Aspects
1) On the measurement date 4) Market-based measurement
2) Hypothetical transaction 5) Exit prices
3) Orderly transaction 6) Hierarchy of inputs
FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING
Hierarchy of inputs
a) Level 1 : quoted prices in active markets that the reporting entity
has the ability to access at the reporting date, for identical assets &
liabilities. Prices are not adjusted for the effects, if any, of the
reporting entity holding a large block relative to the overall trading
volume (referred to as “blockage factor”)
b) Level 2 : directly or indirectly prices in active markets for similar
assets & liabilities, quoted price for identical or similar items in
markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted , process (e.g.
interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, volatilities) or “market
corroborated inputs”
c) Level 3 : unobservable inputs that reflect management own
assumptions about the assumptions market participants would
make
FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING
Valuation techniques
a) Market approach (fair value is measured by directly or indirectly
using prices from prices from actual market transactions)
b) Income approach (fair value is measured by discounting future C/F
(or earnings) expectations to the current period
c) Cost approach (fair value is determined as the current cost to a
market participant (buyer) to acquire or construct a substitute
asset that generate comparable utility after adjusting for
technological improvements, natural wear and tear, and economic
obsolescence, or current replacement cost, or cost of replacing an
asset’s remaining service capacity)
FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING
Advantages:
Reflects current information
Consistent measurement criteria
Comparability
No conservative bias
More useful for equity analysis
Disadvantages
Lower objectivity
Susceptibility to manipulation (use of level 3 inputs)
Lack of conservatism
Excessive income volatility
Implication for analysis
Focus on balance sheet
Restating income
Analyzing use of input
Analyzing financial liabilities
Accounting Analysis
Demand for accounting analysis:
• Adjust for accounting distortions so financial reports better reflect
economic reality
• Adjust general-purpose F/S to meet specific analysis objectives of a
particular user
Sources of accounting distortions:
• Accounting standards, attributed to (1) political process of
standard-setting, (2) accounting principles and assumptions, (3)
conservatism
• Estimation errors, attributed to estimation errors inherent in
accrual accounting
• Reliability >< relevance, attributed to over-emphasis on reliability
at the loss of relevance
• Earnings management, attributed to window-dressing of F/S by
managers to achieve personal benefits
Accounting Analysis
Analysis objectives:
• Comparative analysis, demand for financial comparisons across
companies and/or across time
• Income measurement, demand for
a) equity wealth changes
b) measure of earnings power
because these corresponds to two alternative income concepts
a) Economic income (or empirically economic profit)
b) Permanent income (or empirically sustainable profit)
Accounting Analysis
EARNINGS MANAGEMENT (frequent source of distortions)
Strategies
1. increasing reported income with adjust accruals
2. big bath (record huge write-offs in one period to relieve
other periods of expenses)
3. income smoothing (decrease or increase reported income
to reduce its volatility)
Motivations
1. contracting incentives, adjust numbers used in contract that
affect their wealth (e.g., compensation contract)
2. stock price effects, adjust numbers to influence stock prices
for personal benefits (e.g., mergers, option or stock offering)
3. other reasons, adjust numbers to impact labor demands
(com-bat labor union demands), management changes (big bath
effect), societal views (reduce political cost, scrutiny from
government agencies antitrust regulators & tax institution,
gain favors from government subsidies & protection from
foreign competitions)
Accounting Analysis
EARNINGS MANAGEMENT (frequent source of distortions)
Mechanism
1) income shifting (accelerate or delay recognition of revenues
or expenses to shift income from one period to another)
2) classificatory earnings management (selectively classify
revenues and expenses in certain parts of the income
statement to affect analysis inferences regarding the recurring
nature of these items)
Analysis implications
Checking incentives for earnings management
Checking management reputation & history
Checking consistent pattern
Checking earnings management opportunities
Process of Accounting Analysis
Accounting analysis involves several inter-related processes and tasks
that can be grouped into two broad areas
Evaluating earnings quality
1) Identify and assess key accounting policies
2) Evaluate extent of accounting flexibility (changes of accounting
policies & estimates)
3) Determine the reporting strategy
4) Identify and assess “red flags” (items that alert analyst to
potentially more serious problems)
Adjusting F/S
Identify, measure, and make necessary adjustments to F/S to better
serve one’s analysis objectives
Process of Accounting Analysis
RED FLAGS are …….
1. Poor financial performance-desperate companies are prone to
desperate means
2. Reported earnings consistently higher than operating cash flows
3. Reported pretax earnings consistently higher than taxable income
4. Qualified audit report
5. Auditor resignation or a non-routine auditor change
6. Unexplained or frequent changes in accounting policies
7. Sudden increase in inventories in comparison to sales
8. Use of mechanisms to circumvent accounting rules, such as
operating lease and receivables securitization
9. Frequent one time charges & big baths
Auditing & F/S Analysis
Auditing identifies errors and irregularities, which if undetected
would materially affect these statements‘ fairness of presentation or
their conformity with accounting standards
