Fernando Ferrari, 1358, Boa Vista, Vitória-ES, 29075-505, Brazil a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t This study examines the relationship between management accounting and planning profiles in Brazilian companies. The main goal is to understand the consequences of not including a fully structured management accounting scheme in the planning process. The authors conducted a field research among medium and large-sized companies, using a probabilistic sample from a population of 2281 companies. Using analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and statistical cluster analysis, the authors grouped the entities' strategic budget planning processes into five profiles, after which the authors applied statistical tests to assess the five clusters. The study concludes that poor or fully implemented strategic and budget-planning processes relate to the management accounting profiles of the Brazilian organizations studied. © 2009 Published by Elsevier...

The core objective of this very research is to assess the extent of liquidity risk associated with financial institutions especially banks and to evaluate the concurrent liquidity risk management (LRM) along with a comparative analysis between conventional and Islamic banks of Bangladesh. The researcher has tried to investigate the significance of firm's size, net working capital, return on equity, capital adequacy and return on assets on liquidity Risk Management in case of Conventional and Islamic banks of Bangladesh. Secondary data had been the major stimulus of the research covering five year 20062010. For Islamic banks, a model estimation to predict the liquidity risk level was proven to be successful but the module failed to generate the desired result in case of the conventional banks. Moreover, net working capital in case of Conventional banks and size of the business in case of Islamic banks was found to be positive and significant at 5% significance level. < G21 < Liquidity risk < Islamic banking < Conventional banking < Shariah Banking sector is the most dominant sector in the financial intermediation industry.

...Alternative Approaches to Valuation of Private Companies 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Comparables Net Present Value Approach Adjusted Presented Value Approach The ‘Venture Capital’ Method Options Analysis Each approach has advantages and disadvantages. Generally there is no “right” answer to a valuation problem. Valuation is very much an art as much as a science! 1 Evaluation of Comparables How to compute comparables: Start with a sample of securities whose business characteristics are similar to the company being valued. Assume that the company has similar financial ratios to the “comparable” companies. A number of different ratios are typically used: Price/Earnings, Market/Book, Market Value/Sales, EBIT. Then back out the implied value of the company being studied. Comparables Approach relies on two assumptions: Comparable companies have future cash flow expectations and risks similar to the firm being valued Performance measure is actually proportional to value 2 Different ways of Doing Comparables “Comparable Company” – Uses a multiple calculated from the trading values of firms in the same industry as the firm being valued. “Comparable Transaction” – Uses a multiple from companies that were involved in a similar transaction as the firm being valued. “Comparable Industry Transaction” – Uses a multiple from companies from the same industry that were involved in a similar transaction as the firm being valued. 3 Problems with Comparables Approach Generally tough...

... KEY WORDS Hurst exponent, time series analysis, neural networks, Monte Carlo simulation, forecasting In time series forecasting, the first question we want to answer is whether the time series under study is predictable. If the time series is random, all methods are expected to fail. We want to identify and study those time series having at least some degree of predictability. We know that a time series with a large Hurst exponent has strong trend, thus it’s natural to believe that such time series are more predictable than those having a Hurst exponent close to 0.5. In this paper we use neural networks to test this hypothesis. Neural networks are nonparametric universal function approximators [9] that can learn from data without assumptions. Neural network forecasting models have been widely used in financial time series analysis during the last decade [10],[11],[12]. As universal function approximators, neural networks can be used for surrogate predictability. Under the same conditions, a time series with a smaller forecasting error than another is said to be more predictable. We study the Dow-Jones index daily...

Last year, when I retired, I invested the full amount in a balanced fund. As it was a diversified fund, I thought that investment in one balanced fund would allow me to diversify my investment and I would get a decent return. Unfortunately, the fund has given negative return in spite of the fact that the stock index during the period has gone up by 5 per cent.

...1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. INDUSTRY ALLOCATION The assets, combined in this portfolio, have been chosen from three different industries – banking, retail and drug manufacturing industry. Each industry has its own characteristics and distinguishes from one another, for the purpose of creating a diversified portfolio. Factors, affecting the banking sector and Barclays Bank (the chosen asset) are related to the current economic crisis, interest rates and the policy led by the government (either encouraging spending or saving). On the other hand the retail industry, represented by Marks and Spencer in this portfolio, is affected by the current economic climate in term of disposable and discretionary income. The final industry, drug manufacturing, which is most dependent on research and development, which incur high input costs and require a lot of testing (meaning the business process is time-consuming), is represented by GlaxoSmithKline. The three industries can be affected by completely different factors in nature. 1.2. PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION This portfolio was constructed by stocks, listed only on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), with no interaction with emerging markets. Although international diversification is not present, the unsystematic risk is lower due to the investment in already developed market (LSE), allowing enough liquidity and establishing fair price of the assets. The three companies (Barclays Bank, Marks and Spencer and GlaxoSmithKline) are all blue chips, with...

...Chapter 6 Rate The Risk and Term Structure of Interest In the previous section, we have generalized our discussion of the influence of various factors on the behavior in interest rate by examining only a particular type of bonds: namely, the 1-year zero coupon bond. However, there are many types of bonds: bonds with different maturity, bonds issued by different parties (i.e. government vs. corporate), etc. As a result, there is a different interest rate for each type of bond. We will look at the behavior of interest rates of two groups of bonds: (1) Bonds with the same features but are issued by different agency. In other words, we want to look at the risk structure of interest rates. (2) Bonds issued by the same agency but have different term to maturity (i.e. life of the bond). In other words, we want to look at the term structure of interest rates. 1. Risk structure of interest rate As we have discussed in the previous section, the (relative) risk level of an asset affects its demands according to the theory of asset demand. The higher the relative risk level, the lower the demand of that asset. According to the theory of asset demand, this leads to an increase in interest rate. In other words, investors need to be compensated with a higher return (in the form of higher interest rate) in order to induce them to hold the assets. There are a number of factors that affect the risk level of a bond. In this section, we will focus on only 3 of them: default risk, liquidity, and tax...

...Stakeholders, Shareholders and Wealth Maximization V. Sivarama Krishnan, University of Central Oklahoma ABSTRACT This paper attempts reconciliation between the two somewhat extreme views espoused by the shareholder wealth maximization paradigm and the stakeholder theory. The stakeholder theory challenges the basic premise built into corporate finance theory, teaching and practice. Corporate finance theory, teaching and the typically recommended practice are all built on the premise that the primary goal of a corporation should be shareholder wealth value maximization. Extant theoretical and empirical research in financial economics also generally accept shareholder wealth maximization as the normative and ideal goal on which all business decisions should be based. This paradigm assumes that there are no externalities and all the participants engaged in transactions with the firm are voluntary players competing in free, fair and competitive markets. A very different view is offered by what is loosely called stakeholder theory. The stakeholder theory posits that the focus on shareholders and firm value is misplaced and managers should be concerned with all stakeholders of the firm. The paper attempts to address what is felt as a lack of dialogue between the two camps. INTRODUCTION Corporate finance theory, teaching and the typically recommended practice at least in the US are all built on the premise that the primary goal of a corporation should be the maximization...
