Book Description
Accounting for Financial Instruments is about the accounting and regulatory framework associated with the acquisition and disposal of financial instruments; how to determine their value; how to manage the risk connected with them; and ultimately compile a business valuation report. Specifically, the book covers the following topics, amongst others: Accounting for Investments; Bills of exchange; Management of Financial Risks; Financial Analysis (including the Financial Analysis Report); Valuation of a business (including the Business Valuation Report) and Money laundering. Accounting for Financial Instruments fills a gap in the current literature for a comprehensive text that brings together relevant accounting concepts and valid regulatory framework, and related procedures regarding the management of financial instruments (investments), which are applicable in the modern business world. Understanding financial risk management allows the reader to comprehend the importance of analysing a business concern. This is achieved by presenting an analytical framework to illustrate that an entity’s performance is greatly influenced by its external and internal environments. The analysis of the external environment examines factors that impact an entity’s operational activities, strategic choices, and influence its opportunities and risks. The analysis of the internal environment applies accounting ratio analysis to an entity’s financial statements to examine various elements, including liquidity, profitability, asset utilisation, investment, working capital management and capital structure. The objective of the book is to provide a fundamental knowledge base for those who are interested in managing financial instruments (investments) or studying banking and finance or those who wish to make financial services, particularly banking and finance, their chosen career. Accounting for Financial Instruments is highly applicable to both professional accountants and auditors and students alike.

Book Description
Purpose of This Product Wolters Kluwer's Financial Instruments is a comprehensive reference manual on accounting for financial instruments, including loans, securities, securitizations, and derivatives. It integrates and analyzes all of the existing accounting literature on this topic into one volume, and provides analysis and explanation of that guidance. Financial Instruments is written for practicing accountants and other professionals who need to understand the accounting for financial instruments. This product pulls together all of the existing accounting literature on financial instruments into one volume, organizes it logically, and describes the requirements as simply as possible. Given the complexity of the subject matter, there are limits on how "simple" one can make this material. However, this comprehensive, topic-based approach will save practitioners time and effort in researching accounting issues and provide a comfort level knowing that they have considered all of the relevant guidance. The text includes visual aids whenever possible; observations, such as differences between instrument types; practice pointers; and examples to help readers understand the requirements. The product also includes a cross-reference between original pronouncements, the relevant Accounting Standards Codification Topic, and cites the chapter(s) in which they are discussed, a glossary of terms that includes references to the applicable chapter(s), and a detailed index. What This Product Covers Financial Instruments is a comprehensive reference manual of generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) in the United States about financial instruments. A financial instrument is cash, an ownership interest in another entity (such as common stock), or a contract that conveys an obligation and a corresponding right to require delivery of (or exchange) a financial instrument(s). The right may be contingent (such as an option) or unconditional (such as a loan). A financial instrument is ultimately convertible to cash (or stock) and does not involve the delivery of goods or services. This product includes guidance originally issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force and Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG). It also includes accounting guidance issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), including standards issued by the Accounting Standards Executive Committee (AcSEC), and the audit and accounting guides issued by various committees of the AICPA. It covers accounting requirements for public and private companies and touches on unique aspects of reporting financial instruments by nonprofit organizations. Financial Instruments does not cover certain transactions that are technically financial instruments, but that are accounted for under specialized accounting models, including stock compensation and other forms of employee benefits (from the issuer's perspective), most leasing transactions, and insurance contracts. This product does not address the equity method of accounting (for investments that convey significant influence over the investee), consolidation of operating entities (for investments that convey control over the investee), or business combinations. Wolters Kluwer's GAAP Guide addresses all of those subjects in detail. However, this product does address consolidation of special-purpose entities that are used to securitize financial assets. This product does not discuss in detail the specialized accounting models used by pension plans, brokers and dealers in securities, and investment companies whereby substantially all of their assets (and certain liabilities) are carried at fair value. This product refers to positions of the SEC staff (and other guidance published by the SEC) when it interprets or elaborates on a financial reporting requirement originally established by the FASB or AICPA. This product does not represent a comprehensive guide to SEC reporting requirements, even for financial instruments. This product contains cross-references to the Accounting Standards Codification so that readers can carefully review the full text and other relevant material. In certain instances, references to the Codification are not included (e.g., tentative guidance, effective date and transition guidance for standards that are already fully effective, standards that are superseded, content from the basis for conclusions of accounting pronouncements). In addition, this product contains references to sources that are outside the scope of the Codification, including FASB Concepts Statements, auditing standards, rulings of the Internal Revenue Service, and regulatory principles developed by the federal banking agencies and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Those references are intended to provide context and depth to the discussion of the topic being discussed. However, any accounting literature not included in the Codification is considered nonauthoritative. This product also includes a high-level discussion of the relevant International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for financial instruments covered in each chapter. "IFRSs" consist of pronouncements issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and standards and interpretations issued and approved by the IASB's predecessor Board, the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC).

Book Description
Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Financial markets have developed extremely in volume and complexity in the last 20 years. International investments are booming, due to the general relaxation of capital controls and the increasing demand of international diversification by investors. Driven by these developments the use and variety of financial instruments has grown enormously. Risk management strategies that are crucial to business success can no longer be executed without the use of derivative instruments. Accounting standards have not kept pace with the dynamic development of financial markets and instruments. Concerns about proper accounting regulations for financial instruments, especially derivatives, have been sharpened by the publicity surrounding large derivative-instrument losses at several companies. Incidences like the breakdown of the Barings Bank and huge losses by the German Metallgesellschaft have captured the public s attention. One of the standard setters greatest challenges is to develop principles applicable to the full range of financial instruments and implement structures that will adapt to new products that will continue to develop. Considering these aspects, the focus of this paper is to illustrate how financial instruments are accounted for under the regulations of the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 39. It refers to the latest version, Revised IAS 39 , which was issued in December 2003 and has to be applied for the annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1. 2005. First, the general regulations of this standard are demonstrated followed by special hedge accounting regulations. An overall conclusion that points out critical issues of IAS 39 is provided at the end of the paper. IAS 39 is highly complex and one of the most criticized International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). In many cases, the adoption of IAS 39 will lead to significant changes compared to former accounting regulations applied. Therefore the paper is designed to provide a broad understanding of the standard and to facilitate its implementation.
