Ebook ‘Unexpected’ audit fees and financial reporting quality in private companies

Submitted by wulan on Fri, 04/02/2010 - 08:00

In this paper we investigate effects of unexpected audit fees on financial reporting quality in private companies, arguing that in a private company setting unexpected audit fees are rather a proxy for audit effort instead of a treat to auditor independence. Prior empirical literature (e.g. Frankel, Johnson and Nelson, 2002; Higgs and Skantz, 2006; Hope and Langli, 2009) has indeed used audit fees as a measure for economic bonding.

In a private company setting, Hope and Langli (2009) use unexpected audit fees as a proxy for potential auditor independence impairment, and test whether auditors that receive high unexpected fees are less likely to issue a going concern opinion. They argue that a private company setting provides “a unique context to give independence impairment tests their best shot”, due to both lower auditor reputation and litigation risk compared to a public company setting. Although we do not disagree with the latter statement, we do not believe that unexpected fees are an appropriate measure to test treat of auditor independence in a private company setting.

Ebook Regulation Incentives for Risk Management in Incomplete Markets

Submitted by puput on Mon, 08/16/2010 - 03:12

Financial institutions prefer, even in the absence of supervisory prompting, to employ management and monitoring of risks. Recently, financial supervisors have codified this practice, and generally require financial institutions to measure their exposure to market risks with statistical models, specifically Value at–Risk (VaR) (see the Basel Committee, 1996). Under the latest Basel–II proposals, the same general methodology will be applied to measuring credit, operational, and eventually liquidity risk. In other words, statistical risk modelling (termed Internal Rating Based) will become the linchpin upon which the stability of the financial system rests. While the Internal Rating Based approach has been actively studied, one aspect has received little attention: Introducing regulation can augment the incentives for moral hazard when markets are incomplete, where such regulation could not have such effects when markets are complete. In this chapter we study the potential for moral hazard in the management and regulation of financial institutions’ risk.

We approach the topic from various directions. First, we analyze a bank’s choice of projects, followed by a bank’s choice of risk monitoring systems. Our objective is to document unintended consequences that may arise when a financial institution is subjected to external risk constraints, in particular the extent to which risk regulation helps in mitigating risk and the possibility that risk regulation may actually increase risk. This increase in risk, we argue, results from a combination of incomplete markets and moral hazard. It is well known that banks are subject to moral hazard whilst allocating funds due to implicit government guarantees which act as put options. Thus lending of last resort, deposit insurance, and capital adequacy regulations, among others all have been demonstrated to increase risk taking by banks. We augment this research area by studying the incentives for and effects of moral hazard when risk regulation is introduced in incomplete markets. We reach two main results regarding the effect of risk regulation on banks’ risk management through choice of projects.

PDF Ebook CreditCrunch, BankLending and Monetary Policy: A Model of Financial Intermediation with Heterogeneous Projects

Submitted by antoq on Thu, 04/30/2009 - 08:23

A credit crunch is generally defined as a decline in the supply of credit because, although banks are less willing to lend, lending rates do not rise. According to Green and Oh (1991), a credit crunch is an inefficient situation in which credit-worthy borrowers cannot obtain credit at all, or cannot get it at reasonable terms, and lenders show excessive caution, which may or may not be traceable to regulatory distortion, leaving would-be borrowers unable to fund their investment projects.

A credit crunch can have several causes, such as regulatory pressures and over-reaction to deteriorating bank asset values and profitability. If regulatory pressure is the obstacle to credit growth, it should be removed, and credit growth can be restored. But if the crunch is caused by inefficient conservative lending by banks, it is an open question whether easing monetary policy can help. This paper attempts to develop a quantitative model to address the issue.
