2. Principles of accounting
Accrual basis (income) >< cash basis (cash flow)

Historical cost >< fair value

3. Limitations of financial statement information
Timeliness (periodic disclosure, not real-time basis)
Frequency (quarterly & annually)
Forward looking (limited prospective information)
Accruals & Cash Flows
• Foundations of accrual accounting are revenue recognition &
expense matching
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
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
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
