外文文献及翻译题目:The Important Of Financial Risk 题目: 财务风险重要性分析The Important Of Financial RiskAbstract：This paper examines the determinants of equity price risk for a large sample of non-financial corporations in the United States from 1964 to 2008. We estimate both structural and reduced form models to examine the endogenous nature of corporate financial characteristics such as total debt, debt maturity, cash holdings, and dividend policy. We find that the observed levels of equity price risk are explained primarily by operating and asset characteristics such as firm age, size, asset tangibility, as well as operating cash flow levels and volatility. In contrast, implied measures of financial risk are generally low and more stable than debt-to-equity ratios. Our measures of financial risk have declined over the last 30 years even as measures of equity volatility (e.g. idiosyncratic risk) have tended to increase. Consequently, documented trends in equity price risk are more than fully accounted for by trends in the riskiness of firms’ assets. Taken together, the results suggest that the typical U.S. firm substantially reduces financial risk by carefully managing financial policies. As a result, residual financial risk now appears negligible relative to underlying economic risk for a typical non-financial firm.Keywords：Capital structure financial risk risk management corporate financeIntroductionThe financial crisis of 2008 has brought significant attention to the effects of financial leverage. There is no doubt that the high levels of debt financing by financial institutions and households significantly contributed to the crisis. Indeed, evidence indicates that excessive leverage orchestrated by major global banks (e.g., through the mortgage lending and collateralized debt obligations) and the so-called “shadow banking system” may be the underlying cause of the recent economic and financial dislocation. Less obvious is the role of financial leverage among nonfinancial firms. To date, problems in the U.S. non-financial sector have been minor compared to the distress in the financial sector despite the seizing of capital markets during the crisis. For example, non-financial bankruptcies have been limited given that the economic decline is the largest since the great depression of the 1930s. In fact, bankruptcy filings of non-financial firms have occurred mostly in U.S. industries (e.g., automotive manufacturing, newspapers, and real estate) that faced fundamental economic pressures prior to the financial crisis. This surprising fact begs the question,。

A V AT Revenue Simulation Model for Tax ReformIn Developing CountriesGlenn P .Jenkins[Abstract]: In this paper, we develop a model to simulate policies and revenues for a value added tax (V AT) system in countries that have an indirect tax system containing sales, excise taxes, and tariffs. An application of the model is carried out for Nepal, which has recently introduced the V AT to replace its sales tax system and rationalize its excise and tariff systems. The study shows that, in a developing country, tax policies that might seem very realistic and politically noncontroversial are likely to yield a very narrow tax base. If a government of a developing country wants to rely more on the V AT over time, it must move aggressively to broaden the base and enhance compliance.[Key words]: V AT revenue, Tax reform, model, NepalⅠ. INTRODUCTIONImport tariffs and excise taxes often constitute the most important revenue sources in developing countries. Because of growing concerns in recent years about economic efficiency and tax simplicity in a competitive and integrated world economy, many countries are lowering trade taxes and replacing distorted excise taxes with consumption-type V AT. With respect to the latter, one of the most important questions is the revenue potential of alternative designs of this new tax as governments attempt to replace or enhance the level of revenues generated by their current tax system.The potential revenue which can be raised from the V AT depends on a number of factors, such as how broad the tax base will be and the extent to which businesses will comply with the tax. This issue has not been widely discussed in the public finance literature. The main purpose of this paper is to provide an analytical framework which can be used to estimate the potential tax base and associated revenues for a V AT in a typical developing country. The model developed for this purpose should be detailed enough to facilitate the estimation of the potentialrevenues for alternative tax options. Such a model can then be used to assist decision makers in setting their tax policies. To illustrate, the model is applied to the economy of Nepal. We chose Nepal because it is typical of many developing countries, having very limited statistical data and moving from a highly distorted indirect tax system to a V AT.Ⅱ. ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES TO THE ESTIMATION OF A V AT BASEThe potential tax revenue of a V AT is greatly dependent on the number and level of tax rates, the scope of the tax base, and the degree of tax compliance. The proposed V AT is assumed to be a multistage consumption tax based on the destination principle, similar to a European-style V AT. The tax is applied to the sales of goods and services at all stages of the production and distribution chain. At each stage, vendors are able to claim tax credits to recover the tax they paid on their business inputs. As a result, the tax system is in effect applying the tax only to the value added by each vendor. Since the only tax that does not get refunded is the tax imposed on final consumption, the tax is equivalent to the retail sales tax on final consumption. While imposing a tax at a destination principle, imports are taxed in the same way as domestically produced goods, and exports are not subject to tax. Therefore, the tax essentially applies to goods and services consumed domestically.A common feature of the tax base in most V AT countries is to not tax a number of important goods or services because of political and socioeconomic considerations, technical difficulties, or administrative complexity. These goods and services generally fall into two major categories, zero-rated and tax exempt. For zero-rated commodities, the V AT is not levied on the selling price of these items. The vendor, however, receives full credit for the V AT paid on inputs used in production. If zero-rated sales occur at an intermediate stage, purchasers would not have a credit to deduct against any subsequent tax due. This would, in fact, provide a cash flow cost and benefit to the vendor and purchaser, respectively. The net revenue implications for the government would nevertheless be nil. By comparison, if zero-rated sales occur at the retail stage, it would effectively remove all the tax burden from consumers and the government would lose all the tax revenue from the sales of these goods and services.For conceptual and technical difficulties, countries employing a V AT generally exempt the domestic sales of financial intermediation and insurance services. For administrative and compliance simplicity, most V AT countries also exempt small businesses from the tax. When these goods and services are exempted, the V AT is not applied to these sales. Unlike zero-rated goods and services, vendors of exempt products are not eligible to receive any credit for the taxes paid on the inputs used to produce that good or service. The denial of input tax credits increases the production cost for the vendor, although the value added of the vendor escapes tax.Like zero-rated sales, tax exemption can occur at either an intermediate or the retail stage. Consider the tax exemption at the retail stage where goods are sold directly to consumers. Only the value added at the retail stage will not be subject to tax. In contrast, if tax exempt sales operate at the intermediate stages of the production-distribution chain, sales by the subsequent businesses acquiring the goods are effectively overtaxed to the extent that the inputs prior the exempt stage are not creditable. As a result, the tax base is not reduced, but is augmented by the cascading effect.The government could ultimately collect a greater amount of tax revenue than it would otherwise.Multiple tax rates are a common feature of some V AT systems in the developing countries. It is not uncommon to observe that a lower rate is applied to goods or services which are regarded as the necessities of life. At the same time, there are luxury goods which may be subjected to a higher rate of V AT or alternatively, a non-increditable excise tax.Three alternative approaches can be used to estimate the tax base and associated revenues, for which input-output tables, national accounts and family expenditure survey data are often required. The first approach is simply to construct an aggregate tax base. It begins with the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the economy, which is the sum of the value added in the domestic production of all goods and services. Because we are considering a destination principle V AT, we need to subtract exports and add imports to the GDP. For a consumption type V AT, the base is also reduced by the gross capital formation of the private sector. The base is further reduced by zero-rated or exempted consumption expenditures. Since vendors of exempted goods and services are unable to claim any credits for taxes paid on the inputs acquired to produce that good or service, the tax base will have to be upward adjusted. The second approach computes the base by summing the value added of each industrial sector in the economy. The base has to beadjusted for the fact that the V AT is a destination type tax and, as such, would tax imports on entry into the country and zero-rate exports. Further adjustments would have to be made for changes in inventories and for commodities which are either zero-rated or exempted. Making these adjustments by sector is usually difficult since the values of exports and imports are not readily available on an industry basis. Although an aggregate adjustment for the whole economy may be possible, detailed information by sector would be lost. The third approach is to estimate the value of goods and services purchased by consumers which would automatically capture the destination principle of the V AT since it excludes exports while imports are included. The V AT base by commodity can then be calculated using the commodity sales values at the final consumer level. The approach would also facilitate an analysis of incidence or price impact of the V AT on consumers, issues which are usually important in the political debate over sales tax reform.Ⅲ. GENERAL METHODOLOGY FOR ESTIMATING THE V AT BASEThis section explores the detailed methodology of the third approach described above. This approach depends heavily upon input-output tables. Input-output models are static in nature and, as such, do not allow for behavioral responses to policy changes. Thus, the V AT base estimation discussed in this paper does not take into account behavioral responses due to the replacement of the current sales tax system with the V AT.As was mentioned earlier, the V AT base can be estimated using the final expenditures made by various economic entities. Construction of the base can, therefore, begin with the data for domestic expenditures contained in the final demand matrix of the I-O tables. The final demand matrix generally contains a transaction matrix of a number of commodities by a number of final demand categories. The final demand categories may include many categories under each of the headings such as personal consumption, government expenditures, investment, imports, and exports. Personal consumption refers to those individuals/households or entities who acquire goods and services for their own consumption and who do not produce supplies of a commercial nature. Government expenditures include the current and capital spending by all levels ofgovernment. This would be treated in a fashion similar to personal consumption under a V AT system except that the V AT paid by the same level of government sector will not necessarily increase net government collections. Investment, however, is excluded from the base calculation since the V AT allows for an input tax credit for any business purchases including capital investment. Exports are also excluded because of the destination type V AT. Imports are ignored because purchases made by other final demand categories are inclusive of imports.The starting point in calculating the V AT base is with the amount of personal and government expenditures. This amount is equivalent to the total expenditures shown in the I-O tables. Adjustments must however, be made for several factors in order to arrive at the V AT base. What follows is a description of the relevant deductions and adjustments.Calculation of the current sales taxesSuppose that a country has a manufacturer sales tax system and the government proposes to replace it with a V AT. The gross expenditures contained in the I-O tables, expressed at purchasers' price, include the current sales taxes to be replaced. These taxes are imposed on the manufacturer's sale price of goods produced in the country and on the duty paid value of imported goods. Wholesale and retail trade margins are excluded from the tax base. Usually, these sales taxes apply also to a range of intermediate inputs and capital goods used in the production and distribution of goods and services.In order to remove the current sales taxes paid directly by personal and government sectors from each category of expenditures, one has to first construct the current sales tax base. This is accomplished by removing the retail and wholesale trade margins from purchasers' expenditures on each good or service, inclusive of sales tax.The expected current sales tax revenue from each commodity, say, the ith commodity( Ri), can be calculated by multiplying the derived tax base by the applicable tax rate and by the taxable proportion:where is the sales tax-inclusive base of the ith commodity, is the taxable proportion of theith commodity, and is the sales tax rate of the ith commodity. The magnitude of the taxableproportions depends upon the proportion of the legally taxable sales to the total sales of the items contained in each commodity category.A further calculation must be made for the hidden (or indirect) sales taxes embedded in personal and government expenditures. This represents the sales taxes which are levied on business inputs. These inputs are used in turn to produce goods and services which are ultimately sold to final consumers and governments. If sales taxes are assumed to be fully shifted forward, the taxes will be transformed into a higher price of the final goods and services. The I-O tables can be used to measure the indirect sales tax content in the goods and services purchased by final consumers and governments.The total of the above expected direct and indirect sales tax revenues over all commodities and all entities usually is not the same as the actual tax collections. This is a result of a number of factors, such as bad debt allowances, tax free allowances for small importation, tax evasion, small suppliers exemption. After adjusting for the factors which are known, the expected tax revenues are made equal to the actual tax collections by applying a calculated compliance rate. This rate is simply the ratio of the actual revenue to the expected revenue. Of course, the compliance rate may vary by commodity, depending upon market conditions and other factors.Introduction of the value-added taxThe potential revenue of the V AT extended to the retail level can be calculated by summing domestic personal and government expenditures at retail prices. This does not include expenditures made by businesses since the taxes paid on business purchases are creditable. Thus, the starting point for calculating the V AT base is with the value of all goods and services (shown in the I-O tables) purchased by personal and government sectors, net of all current sales taxes.This is the total potential tax base, which is then multiplied by the taxable proportions for each corresponding commodity in order to arrive at the V AT base. At this point, the taxable proportions are determined by the tax policies and laws under consideration. For example, the proposed V AT may zero-rate or exempt certain goods or services. In such cases, the full value of zero-rated or exempted goods and services purchased by individuals or governments has to be removed from the potential base. For exempt items, however, taxes paid on business inputs used to produce the exempt goods or services are not creditable. Therefore, an additional adjustment to the tax base is needed to account for the extent to which the vendors cannot claim input tax credit for taxes paid on business expenditures. In summary, the total potential V AT base can beexpressed as follows:Where is the percentage wholesale margin for the ith commodity, is the percentage retail margin for the ith commodity, is the total business inputs used in the production of the jthexempt sector under the proposed V AT, is the ratio of taxable inputs to the total inputs usedin the production of the jth exempt sector under the proposed V AT, and Bi ,ai and pi are defined as eqn..Special attention should be paid to long-term residential rent paid by tenants to landlords and imputed rent arising from the consumption flow by owner-occupied housing, which is normally presented as part of personal expenditures in the I-O tables or national accounts. This rent is often tax exempt and should be excluded from the tax base in order to avoid double taxation, since as an alternative, the V AT is sometimes levied on the purchase price of newly constructed dwellings. A portion of gross cash rent and imputed rent, however, would still be subject to V AT as a result of taxable expenditures made for repairs, property insurance, and certain utilities. It should be noted that the value of land is excluded in both the I-O tables and national accounts because it does not represent value added. For our purpose, the value of land is usually included as part of the purchase price of a new home. Thus, when new houses are taxable under the V AT, the personal expenditures must be adjusted upward to account for the full price of new homes. Some adjustments must be also made to gross expenditures in the government sector. For the most part, the production from this sector is usually exempt under a V AT and the associated value added would not attract the tax. On the other hand, the intermediate inputs used to produce government goods and services are usually taxable and, as a consequence, remain in the tax base of the government sector.Finally, to arrive at a benchmark estimate of revenue yield, the tax base for each commodity item is then multiplied by the compliance ratio under the current sales tax system. This adjustment implies that the compliance rate for each commodity under the proposed V AT would not be different from that being subject to the current system. The compliance rate may be adjusted upward however if one believes that the V AT system would enhance taxpayercompliance, or if the government can increase the level of administrative enforcement. On the contrary, the compliance rate may be adjusted downward if tax evasion is expected to spread with the introduction of a V AT. The total expected V AT revenues for the economy will then be equal to the summation of all adjusted tax bases across goods and services purchased by both the personal and government sectors, times the proposed V AT rates.Accrual versus actual revenue collectionsThe model developed so far provides an annual estimate of the V AT paid by final consumers and governments. These estimates are presented on an accrual basis rather than the actual revenues received by the government due to the payment lags built into the V AT system. For example, the V AT may be designed to provide a great deal of flexibility in filing requirements, depending on the size of the business. For large firms, filing may be required on a monthly basis. For smaller firms, filing may be allowed on a quarterly or annual return. Certain types of businesses such as exporters are likely to choose to file their returns on a monthly basis in order to claim input tax credits earlier. Furthermore, all taxpayers are likely to have until the end of the month following the reporting period to file their returns.From a government’s perspective, it is necessary to transform the V AT estimates from an accrual to a collection basis. One can first segregate the above annual estimate of the V AT base into the individual ``value-added'' components for primary producers, manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and other service sectors. Each of these components is then converted to a monthly basis using sales and other relevant data. For example, the retail component is distributed to each month based on monthly retail sales data. This should reflect the seasonal patterns in production and distribution channels. The appropriate collection lags should also be incorporated for each type of tax filer. The resulting revenues can then be transformed to a collection basis. This consideration will be particularly important when the V AT is first introduced into a country.Ⅳ. AN APPLICATION TO A CASE FOR NEPALThe current sales tax collected in Nepal in fiscal year 1994-95 was about 6,032 million rupees which accounts for approximately one-third of the total tax revenues. It is the single mostimportant revenue source. Like many other countries, the sales tax is imposed on the manufacturer's sale price of goods produced for domestic consumption, and on the duty paid value of imported goods. As a result, the tax applies to a range of inter-mediate inputs and capital goods used in the production and distribution channels. This tax has become not only administratively complex, but also economically inefficient. The Minister of State for Finance in Nepal announced in the July 1993 budget that the government would focus on gradually transforming the sales tax into a value-added tax. Since then, subsequent governments have had to make a series of tax policies and set tax rates in order to ensure the new sales tax system is fair, simple, efficient and produces revenue in a stable fashion.In the July 1993 budget, it was announced that the number of sales tax rates would be reduced from five to two rates, 10% and 20%. The same tax rates are applied equally to domestically produced goods and to imports in order to streamline the sales tax operation. In addition, there has been a substantial amount of government revenues collected from a number of selective excises on cigarettes, liquor, beer, soft drinks, edible oils, cement and so on. The main objective of this section is to apply the above model to the estimation of potential revenues for a V AT to be implemented in Nepal.Preparation of the basic dataThe data are quite limited in Nepal. In order to present the most up-to-date economic structure for the country, we developed a complete set of data for the FY 1994-95 since this is the latest year that data are available on the expenditure side from national accounts in Nepal.The data are arranged into three major categories-personal, business, and government. First, the detailed personal expenditure data are only available from a Household Budget Survey for 1985. These data also are separated into urban and rural for each class of commodity expenditure. Due to their different expenditure patterns and the recent massive migration from rural to urban areas, the current detailed household expenditures by commodities for the country as a whole are constructed by increasing the proportion of the total national household expenditures made in urban areas from 7% in 1985 to 12% in 1994. Using the FY 1994-95 aggregate private consumption shown in national accounts as a control total, the detailed personal expenditures by commodities are estimated.Second, the information concerning business expenditures on capital investment and intermediate inputs is very limited. The national accounts only provide an aggregate figure on private capital formation which can be further separated into machinery and equipment and construction. Using import information, the totals for machinery and equipment are further allocated among tractors, motor vehicles and parts, aircraft, telecommunications, medical equipment, and other machinery equipment. This is done in anticipation that certain goods or sectors are likely to be either zero-rated or exempted under the proposed V AT. The split between residential and nonresidential construction is also important because of their differences in the composition of mixed construction materials. For nonresidential construction, about one-third is sponsored by international organizations and is classified as expenditures of the government sector. For each construction category, detailed requirements of construction materials, labor cost, as well as profits and contract tax are provided by the Nepal Engineers' Association. In addition, the detailed intermediate inputs demanded by each of the industrial sectors are developed using the 1987 I-O tables.Third, government expenditures are separated into Regular and Development Expenditures. The latter are mostly funded by international organizations such as the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, and bilateral donors which do not pay tariffs or other commodity taxes on their purchases. Each of the Regular and Development Expenditures can be further broken down into current and capital expenditures by commodity items or economic functions.After the basic detailed expenditures data for FY 1994-95 are constructed, the wholesale and retail margins for each commodity are removed from purchasers' expenditures on each good or service derived above .This would form the manufacturers' or importers' sales totals, inclusive of taxes, by commodity and by entity. The expected sales tax revenue for each commodity can then be calculated based on eqn (1).Simulation of the V AT revenuesThe proposed V AT will be imposed on goods and services consumed in the Kingdom of Nepal except for those specified in Schedules 1 and 2 of the V AT Act. The V AT Act will replace the Sales Tax Act, Hotel Act, Contract Tax Act, and Entertainment Act. This implies that, for revenue-neutral, at least a total of 6,857 million rupees should have been generated in FY 1994-95 if the proposed V AT was implemented.The following basic tax policies are incorporated in the model simulations for illustrative purposes:(ⅰ) impose a single rate of V AT which is extended to the retail level under the destination principle. Most personal and government expenditures are taxed, including government expenditures financed through international organizations.(ⅱ) zero-rate exported goods and services.(ⅲ)exempt unprocessed food, drug and medical services, books and newspapers, water and transportation services.(ⅳ) exempt newly constructed dwellings, residential rents, and financial services.(ⅴ) adjust the excise levies on alcoholic beverages and tobacco products to maintain their current consumer prices.Before turning to the empirical results, it is useful to recall the equivalency of the V AT to that of retail sales tax levied on the final selling price of all goods and services.The data on the latter were derived earlier in the form of gross expenditures by commodities under the personal, business, and government category. These gross expenditures represent the sum of all the expenditures on the various commodities and primary inputs contained in each category. Adjustments must be made for factors such as removal of the current sales taxes, zero-rated and exempt goods and services, and realistic tax compliance by taxpayers in order to arrive at the V AT base and the associated revenues.First, the above gross expenditures by commodities and by entities contain the amounts of the current sales taxes, directly paid by individuals and by governments, which must be deducted in calculating the V AT base. Since sales taxes are assumed to be fully shifted forward to final consumers, a further deduction must be made for the indirect sales taxes embedded in the price of personal and government expenditures. One can observe from Columns (2) and (3) of Table 1 that more than half of the current sales taxes are imposed on intermediate inputs and capital goods in Nepal. These input taxes are now embodied in the form of higher prices of goods and services sold to final consumers and governments.Second, the excise tax on alcoholic beverages and tobacco products are adjusted upward in order to maintain the same level of retail prices for consumers. The excise adjustment (DE) must equal the diff erence between the manufacturers’ sales prices of the excisable good under the newversus the current sales tax systems. That is:where is the single V AT rate, is the V AT compliance rate, is the current sales tax rateof the ith excisable good, and is the compliance rate of the current sales tax systems. is defined as eqn. (1), namely, the current sales tax-inclusive base of the ith excisable good. Hence, the adjustments shown in Column (5) of Table 1 refer to the case if the V AT rate is set at 12% and the tax compliance remains the same as the current tax system.Third, the full value of zero-rated goods or services purchased by final consumers and governments must be removed from gross expenditures. The simulation will only apply to exports, not to the goods and services paid for with foreign exchange but consumeddomestically.Fourth, for exempt goods and services that operate at the retail stage, the V AT is not levied on their selling prices nor are vendors entitled to the input tax credit. As a result, the associated input taxes that are not creditable form part of the V AT base. It should be noted that while not only unprocessed basic groceries but also basic agricultural inputs such as fertilizer seeds and pesticides are exempt. Another interesting case in Nepal is the practical difficulty of imposing a V AT on newly constructed houses because no such market prevails. New houses are normally self-constructed with assistance from relatives or friends. Therefore, new houses are treated as tax exempt and the purchases of construction materials are made subject to tax the business inputs associated with the denied input tax credits are all shown by sector in the second panel of Table 1 to form part of the V AT in Nepal.Fifth, the government is treated in the same fashion as final consumers. In other words, expenditures incurred by the government are taxed.Each of these tax policy measures presented in the V AT Act might appear reasonable and politically prudent, in the context of the economy of Nepal. But the results in Column (7) of Table 1 show that the V AT base, with the current tax compliance, has been reduced to approximately 20% gross domestic expenditure. It is also unrealistic to expect a substantial increase in compliance of the tax in a near term. If significant additional revenues are to be collected, tougher tax policies to broaden the tax base will have to be implemented. Because the share of the formal economy is relatively small in such a developing country, the potential tax base for a V AT is rather narrow. Hence, substantial political will is needed in developing countries to impose taxes on goods and services that might be exempted due to political or social considerations in developed countries.A V AT generally requires a higher level of administrative expenditures than a single stage sales tax system because of the greater number of taxpayers and the initial start up costs. This will reduce the net collection of tax revenues. There is a question of whether the V AT would lead to either greater tax enforcement or greater revenue leakage. One can argue that invoices issued by vendor registrants are proof of tax paid and, thus, constitute the basis for input tax credit claims by purchaser registrants. The invoice system may be considered by some economists or tax practitioners as a mechanism that provides an audit trail and an incentive to record。

会计学毕业论文外文版Accounting Education and its Impact on Professional Skills DevelopmentIntroductionIn today's dynamic and complex business environment, the role of accounting professionals has significantly evolved. They are not only responsible for ensuring accurate financial recordkeeping, but they also serve as strategic business partners who provide valuable insights for decision-making. To meet these changing demands, accounting education must also adapt and equip students with the necessary professional skills. This paper aims to explore the impact of accounting education on the development of professional skills.The Importance of Accounting EducationAccountancy is a unique field that requires a deep understanding of financial reporting standards, auditing principles, taxation laws, and management accounting techniques. Accounting education plays a crucial role in providing students with the necessarytechnical knowledge and skills to perform these tasks effectively.However, technical skills alone are no longer sufficient for an accounting professional to excel in their career. Soft skills such as communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving have become equally important. Without these professional skills, accountants may struggle to interpret financial information, communicate effectively with stakeholders, or provide value-added insights to management.The Role of Accounting Education in Developing Professional SkillsAccounting education institutions have recognized the importance of developing professional skills alongside technical knowledge. They are increasingly incorporating activities and courses that focus on skill-building in their curriculum.One example of this is the integration of case studies and group discussions into the accounting coursework. These activities help students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills while applying their technical knowledge to real-world situations. By analyzing financial statements andinterpreting complex data, students learn how to make informed decisions and provide meaningful insights.Furthermore, accounting education institutions are also offering courses and workshops on communication skills. Effective communication is essential for accountants to interact with clients, colleagues, and other stakeholders. Through these courses, students improve their ability to articulate financial information and explain complex concepts in a concise and understandable manner.Another important aspect of accounting education is the emphasis on ethics and professionalism. Students are taught about the importance of integrity, objectivity, and confidentiality in the accounting profession. They learn how to navigate ethical dilemmas and make ethical decisions in their practice. These aspects of accounting education contribute to the development of professional skills that are critical for an accountant's success.ConclusionAccounting education plays a vital role in developing the professional skills required for successin the accounting profession. While technical knowledge is important, it is the combination of technical and professional skills that distinguishes outstanding accountants. By incorporating case studies, group discussions, communication courses, and ethics training into the curriculum, accounting education institutions are preparing students to meet the evolving demands of the profession. This holistic approach to education ensures that graduates are equipped not only with the technical know-how but also with the professional skills necessary to excel in their careers.。

会计学中英文资料外文翻译外文原文Title:Future of SME finance（Background – the environment for SME finance has changedFuture economic recovery will depend on the possibility of Crafts, Trades and SMEs to exploit their potential for growth and employment creation.SMEs make a major contribution to growth and employment in the EU and are at the heart of the Lisbon Strategy, whose main objective is to turn Europe into the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world. However, the ability of SMEs to grow depends highly on their potential to invest in restructuring, innovation and qualification. All of these investments need capital and therefore access to finance.Against this background the consistently repeated complaint of SMEs about their problems regarding access to finance is a highly relevant constraint that endangers the economic recovery of Europe.Changes in the finance sector influence the behavior of credit institutes towards Crafts, Trades and SMEs. Recent and ongoing developments in the banking sector add to the concerns of SMEs and will further endanger their access to finance. The main changes in the banking sector which influence SME finance are:•Globalization and internationalization have increased the competition and the profit orientation in the sector;•worsening of the economic situations in some institutes (burst of the ITC bubble, insolvencies) strengthen the focus on profitability further;•Mergers and restructuring created larger structures and many local branches, which had direct and personalized contacts with small enterprises, were closed;•up-coming implementation of new capital adequacy rules (Basel II) will also change SME business of the credit sector and will increase its administrative costs;•Stricter interpretation of State-Aide Rules by the European Commission eliminates the support of banks by public guarantees; many of the effected banks arevery active in SME finance.All these changes result in a higher sensitivity for risks and profits in the finance sector.The changes in the finance sector affect the accessibility of SMEs to finance.Higher risk awareness in the credit sector, a stronger focus on profitability and the ongoing restructuring in the finance sector change the framework for SME finance and influence the accessibility of SMEs to finance. The most important changes are: •In order to make the higher risk awareness operational, the credit sector introduces new rating systems and instruments for credit scoring;•Risk assessment of SMEs by banks will force the enterprises to present more and better quality information on their businesses;•Banks will try to pass through their additional costs for implementing and running the new capital regulations (Basel II) to their business clients;•due to the increase of competition on interest rates, the bank sector demands more and higher fees for its services (administration of accounts, payments systems, etc.), which are not only additional costs for SMEs but also limit their liquidity;•Small enterprises will lose their personal relationship with decision-makers in local branches –the credit application process will become more formal and anonymous and will probably lose longer;•the credit sector will lose more and more its “public function” to provide access to finance for a wide range of economic actors, which it has in a number of countries, in order to support and facilitate economic growth; the profitability of lending becomes the main focus of private credit institutions.All of these developments will make access to finance for SMEs even more difficult and / or will increase the cost of external finance. Business start-ups and SMEs, which want to enter new markets, may especially suffer from shortages regarding finance. A European Code of Conduct between Banks and SMEs would have allowed at least more transparency in the relations between Banks and SMEs and UEAPME regrets that the bank sector was not able to agree on such a commitment.Towards an encompassing policy approach to improve the access of Crafts, Trades and SMEs to financeAll analyses show that credits and loans will stay the main source of finance forthe SME sector in Europe. Access to finance was always a main concern for SMEs, but the recent developments in the finance sector worsen the situation even more. Shortage of finance is already a relevant factor, which hinders economic recovery in Europe. Many SMEs are not able to finance their needs for investment.Therefore, UEAPME expects the new European Commission and the new European Parliament to strengthen their efforts to improve the framework conditions for SME finance. Europe’s Crafts, Trades and SMEs ask for an encompassing policy approach, which includes not only the conditions for SMEs’ access to lending, but will also strengthen their capacity for internal finance and their access to external risk capital.From UEAPME’s point of view such an encompassing approach should be based on three guiding principles:•Risk-sharing between private investors, financial institutes, SMEs and public sector;•Increase of transparency of SMEs towards their external investors and lenders;•improving the regulatory environment for SME finance.Based on these principles and against the background of the changing environment for SME finance, UEAPME proposes policy measures in the following areas:1. New Capital Requirement Directive: SME friendly implementation of Basel IIDue to intensive lobbying activities, UEAPME, together with other Business Associations in Europe, has achieved some improvements in favour of SMEs regarding the new Basel Agreement on regulatory capital (Basel II). The final agreement from the Basel Committee contains a much more realistic approach toward the real risk situation of SME lending for the finance market and will allow the necessary room for adaptations, which respect the different regional traditions and institutional structures.However, the new regulatory system will influence the relations between Banks and SMEs and it will depend very much on the way it will be implemented into European law, whether Basel II becomes burdensome for SMEs and if it will reduce access to finance for them.The new Capital Accord form the Basel Committee gives the financial marketauthorities and herewith the European Institutions, a lot of flexibility. In about 70 areas they have room to adapt the Accord to their specific needs when implementing it into EU law. Some of them will have important effects on the costs and the accessibility of finance for SMEs.UEAPME expects therefore from the new European Commission and the new European Parliament:•The implementation of the new Capital Requirement Directive will be costly for the Finance Sector (up to 30 Billion Euro till 2006) and its clients will have to pay for it. Therefore, the implementation – especially for smaller banks, which are often very active in SME finance –has to be carried out with as little administrative burdensome as possible (reporting obligations, statistics, etc.).•The European Regulators must recognize traditional instruments for collaterals (guarantees, etc.) as far as possible.•The European Commission and later the Member States should take over the recommendations from the European Parliament with regard to granularity, access to retail portfolio, maturity, partial use, adaptation of thresholds, etc., which will ease the burden on SME finance.2. SMEs need transparent rating proceduresDue to higher risk awareness of the finance sector and the needs of Basel II, many SMEs will be confronted for the first time with internal rating procedures or credit scoring systems by their banks. The bank will require more and better quality information from their clients and will assess them in a new way. Both up-coming developments are already causing increasing uncertainty amongst SMEs.In order to reduce this uncertainty and to allow SMEs to understand the principles of the new risk assessment, UEAPME demands transparent rating procedures –rating procedures may not become a “Black Box” for SMEs:•The bank should communicate the relevant criteria affecting the rating of SMEs.•The bank should inform SMEs about its assessment in order to allow SMEs to improve.The negotiations on a European Code of Conduct between Banks and SMEs , which would have included a self-commitment for transparent rating procedures by Banks, failed. Therefore, UEAPME expects from the new European Commission andthe new European Parliament support for:•binding rules in the framework of the new Capital Adequacy Directive, which ensure the transparency of rating procedures and credit scoring systems for SMEs;•Elaboration of national Codes of Conduct in order to improve the relations between Banks and SMEs and to support the adaptation of SMEs to the new financial environment.3. SMEs need an extension of credit guarantee systems with a special focus on Micro-LendingBusiness start-ups, the transfer of businesses and innovative fast growth SMEs also depended in the past very often on public support to get access to finance. Increasing risk awareness by banks and the stricter interpretation of State Aid Rules will further increase the need for public support.Already now, there are credit guarantee schemes in many countries on the limit of their capacity and too many investment projects cannot be realized by SMEs.Experiences show that Public money, spent for supporting credit guarantees systems, is a very efficient instrument and has a much higher multiplying effect than other instruments. One Euro form the European Investment Funds can stimulate 30 Euro investments in SMEs (for venture capital funds the relation is only 1:2).Therefore, UEAPME expects the new European Commission and the new European Parliament to support:•The extension of funds for national credit guarantees schemes in the framework of the new Multi-Annual Programmed for Enterprises;•The development of new instruments for securitizations of SME portfolios;•The recognition of existing and well functioning credit guarantees schemes as collateral;•More flexibility within the European Instruments, because of national differences in the situation of SME finance;•The development of credit guarantees schemes in the new Member States;•The development of an SBIC-like scheme in the Member States to close the equity gap (0.2 – 2.5 Mio Euro, according to the expert meeting on PACE on April 27 in Luxemburg).•the development of a financial support scheme to encourage the internalizations of SMEs (currently there is no scheme available at EU level:termination of JOP, fading out of JEV).4. SMEs need company and income taxation systems, which strengthen their capacity for self-financingMany EU Member States have company and income taxation systems with negative incentives to build-up capital within the company by re-investing their profits. This is especially true for companies, which have to pay income taxes. Already in the past tax-regimes was one of the reasons for the higher dependence of Europe’s SMEs on bank lending. In future, the result of rating will also depend on the amount of capital in the company; the high dependence on lending will influence the access to lending. This is a vicious cycle, which has to be broken.Even though company and income taxation falls under the competence of Member States, UEAPME asks the new European Commission and the new European Parliament to publicly support tax-reforms, which will strengthen the capacity of Crafts, Trades and SME for self-financing. Thereby, a special focus on non-corporate companies is needed.5. Risk Capital – equity financingExternal equity financing does not have a real tradition in the SME sector. On the one hand, small enterprises and family business in general have traditionally not been very open towards external equity financing and are not used to informing transparently about their business.On the other hand, many investors of venture capital and similar forms of equity finance are very reluctant regarding investing their funds in smaller companies, which is more costly than investing bigger amounts in larger companies. Furthermore it is much more difficult to set out of such investments in smaller companies.Even though equity financing will never become the main source of financing for SMEs, it is an important instrument for highly innovative start-ups and fast growing companies and it has therefore to be further developed. UEAPME sees three pillars for such an approach where policy support is needed:Availability of venture capital•The Member States should review their taxation systems in order to create incentives to invest private money in all forms of venture capital.•Guarantee instruments for equity financing should be further developed.Improve the conditions for investing venture capital into SMEs•The development of secondary markets for venture capital investments inSMEs should be supported.•Accounting Standards for SMEs should be revised in order to ease transparent exchange of information between investor and owner-manager.Owner-managers must become more aware about the need for transparency towards investors•SME owners will have to realise that in future access to external finance (venture capital or lending) will depend much more on a transparent and open exchange of information about the situation and the perspectives of their companies.•In order to fulfil the new needs for transparency, SMEs will have to use new information instruments (business plans, financial reporting, etc.) and new management instruments (risk-management, financial management, etc.).外文资料翻译题目：未来的中小企业融资背景：中小企业融资已经改变未来的经济复苏将取决于能否工艺品，贸易和中小企业利用其潜在的增长和创造就业。

THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNAL AUDIT IN SAUDI ARABIA: AN INSTITUTIONAL THEORY PERSPECTIVEThe value of the internal audit functionPrevious studies have utilized a variety of approaches to determine appropriate criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of the internal audit function. For example, considered the degree of compliance with standards as one of the factors which affects internal audit performance. A 1988 research report from the IIA-United Kingdom（IIA-UK，1988）focused on the perceptions of both senior management and external auditors of the value of the internal audit function. The study identified the difficulty of measuring the value of services provided as a major obstacle to such an evaluation. Profitability, cost standards and the effectiveness of resource utilization were identified as measures of the value of services. In its recommendations it highlighted the need to ensure that internal audit work complies with SPPIA.In the US, Albrecht et al.(1988)studied the roles and benefits of the internal audit function and developed a framework for the purpose of evaluating internal audit effectiveness. They found that there were four areas that the directors of internal audit departments could develop to enhance effectiveness: an appropriate corporate environment, top management support, high quality internal audit staff and high quality internal audit work. The authors stressed that management and auditors should recognize the internal audit function as a value-adding function to the organization. In the UK, Ridley and D’Silva (1997) identified the importance of complying with professional standards as the most important contributor to the internal audit function adding value.Compliance with SPPIAA number of studies have focused specifically on the compliance of internal audit departments with SPPIA. Powell et al.(1992) carried out a global survey of IIA members in 11 countries to investigate whether there was evidence of a world-wide internal audit culture. They found an overall compliance rate of 82% with SPPIA.This high percentage prompted the authors to suggest that SPPIA provided evidence of the internationalization of the internal audit profession.A number of studies have focused on the SPPIA standard concerned with independence.Clark et al.(1981) found that the independence of the internal audit department and the level of authority to which internal audit staff report were the two most important criteria influencing the objectivity of their work. Plumlee (1985) focused on potential threats to internal auditor objectivity, particularly whether participation in the design of an internal control system influenced judgements as to the quality and effectiveness of that system. Plumlee found that such design involvement produced bias that could ultimately threaten objectivity.The relationship between the internal audit function and company management more generally is clearly an important factor in determining internal auditor objectivity. Harrell et al. (1989) suggested that perceptions of the views and desires of management could influence the activities and judgement of internal auditors. Also, they found that internal auditors who were members of the IIA were less likely to succumb to such pressure.Ponemon (1991) examined the question of whether or not internal auditors will report sensitive issues uncovered during the course of their work. He concluded that the three factors affecting internal auditor objectivity were their social position in the organization, their relationship with management and the existence of a communication channel to report wrongdoing.Internal audit research in Saudi ArabiaTo date there has been relatively little research about internal audit in the Saudi Arabian corporate sector, exceptions, however, are Asairy (1993)and Woodworth and Said (1996). Asairy (1993)sought to evaluate the effectiveness of internal audit departments in Saudi joint-stock companies. He studied departments in 38 companies using questionnaire responses from the directors of internal audit departments, senior company management, and external auditors. The result of this study revealed that one significant factor in the perceived success of internal audit was its independence from other corporate activities. The service provided by the internal audit department was affected by the support it received from the management, other employees andexternal auditors. The education, training, experience and professional qualifications of the internal auditors influenced the effectiveness of internal audit. On the basis of his study, Asairy (1993) recommended that all joint-stock companies, should have an internal audit function, and that internal auditing should be taught as a separate course in Saudi Universities.Woodworth and Said (1996)sought to ascertain the views of internal auditors in Saudi Arabia as to whether there were differences in the reaction of auditees to specific internal audit situations according to the nationality of the auditee. Based on 34 questionnaire responses from members of the IIA Dhahran chapter, they found there were no significant differences between the different nationalities. The internal auditors did not modify their audit conduct according to the nationality of the auditee and cultural dimensions did not have a significant impact on the results of the audit.Given the importance of complying with SPPIA, the professional and academic literature emphasizes the importance of the relationship between the internal audit department and the rest of the organization in determining the success or otherwise of internal audit departments (Mints,1972;Flesher,1996;Ridley & Chambers,1998 and Moeller & Witt,1999). This literature focuses on the need for co-operation and teamwork between the auditor and auditee if internal auditing is to be effective.Bethea (1992) suggests that the need for good human relations’ skills is important because internal auditing creates negative perceptions and negative attitudes. These issues are particularly important in a multicultural business environment such as Saudi Arabia where there are significant differences in the cultural and educational background of the auditors and auditees Woodworth and Said (1996).ResultsReasons for not having an internal audit departmentOf the 92 company interviews examining the reasons why companies do not have an internal audit function, the most frequent response from 52 companies (57%) was that reliance on the external auditor enabled the company to obtain the benefits that might be obtained from internal audit. Typically, interviewees argued that the external auditor is better, more efficient and saves money. Interviews with theexternal auditors revealed that client companies could not distinguish clearly between the work and roles of internal and external audit. For example, one external auditor said,there is a misperception of what the external auditor does, they think the external auditor does everything for the company and must discover any problem.Having said this, one external auditor doubted that an internal audit function would add value in all circumstances. When referring to the internal control system he stated,as long as they are happy with the final output, I think the internal audit function will not add value. External auditing eventually will highlight any significant internal control weakness.The second most frequent reason mentioned by interviewees (23 firms, 25%) for not operating an internal audit department was the cost/benefit trade-off. Specifically, 17 firms considered that the small size of the company and the limited nature of its activities meant that it would not be efficient for them to have an internal audit department. The external auditors interviewed were of the opinion that the readily identifiable costs as compared with the more difficult to measure benefits was a factor contributing to this decision.A number of other reasons were given by interviewees for not having an internal audit department. As a consequence of the high costs of conducting internal audit activities, 14 firms used employees who were not within a separate internal audit department to carry out internal audit duties. Eight companies did not think there was a need for internal audit because they believed their internal control systems were sufficient to obviate the need for internal audit. Five companies did not think that internal audit was an important activity and three felt that their type of the business did not require internal audit. Three respondents mentioned that they did not operate an internal audit department because professional people could not be found to run the department, and six companies did not provide a reason for not having an internal audit department. In 10 companies an internal audit department had been established but was no longer operating because of difficulties in recruiting qualified personneland changes in the organization structure. Having said this, eight companies without an internal audit department were planning to establish one in the future.The independence of internal audit departmentsCommentators and standard setters identify independence as being a key attribute of the internal audit department. From the questionnaire responses 60 (77%) of the internal audit departments stated that there was a written document defining the purpose, authority and responsibility of the department. In nearly all instances where there was such a document the terms of reference of the internal audit department had been agreed by senior management (93%), the document identified the role of the internal audit department in the organization, and its rights of access to individuals, records and assets (97%), and the document set out the scope of internal auditing (90%). Respondents were asked to assess the extent to which the relevant document was consistent with the specific requirements of SPPIA. In those departments where such a document existed 27 (45%) claimed full compliance with SPPIA, 23 (38%) considered their document to be partially consistent with SPPIA. In more thanone-third of the departments surveyed either no such document existed (n=18, 23%) or the respondent was not aware whether or not the document complied with SPPIA (n=10, 13%).SPPIA suggests that independence is enhanced when t he organization’s board of directors concurs with the appointment or removal of the director of the internal audit department, and that the director of the internal audit department is responsible to an individual of suitable seniority within the organization. It is noticeable that in 47 companies (60%) their responsibilities with regard to appointment, removal and the receipt of reports lay with non-senior management, normally a general manager. SPPIA recommends that the director of the internal audit department should have direct communication with the board of directors to ensure that the department is independent, and provides a means for the director of internal auditing and the board of directors to keep each other informed on issues of mutual interest. The interviews with directors of internal audit departments showed that departments tended to report to general managers rather than the board of directors. Further evidence of the lack ofaccess to the board of directors was provided by the questionnaire responses showing that in almost half the companies, members of the internal audit department have never attended board meetings and in only two companies did attendance take place regularly.Unrestricted access to documentation and unfettered powers of enquiry are important aspects of the independence and effectiveness of internal audit. The questionnaire responses revealed that 34 (44%) internal audit directors considered that they did not have full access to all necessary information. Furthermore, a significant minority (n=11, 14%) did not believe they were free, in all instances, to report faults, frauds, wrongdoing or mistakes. A slightly higher number (n=17, 22%) considered that the internal audit function did not always receive consistent support from senior management.SPPIA identifies that involvement in the design, installation and operating of systems is likely to impair internal auditor objectivity. Respondents were asked how often management requested the assistance of the internal audit department in the performance of non-audit duties. In 37 internal audit departments (47%) surveyed such requests were made sometimes, often or always, and only 27 (35%) departments never participated in these non-audit activities. The interviews revealed that in some organizations internal audit staff was used regularly to cover for staff shortages in other departments.。

The Optimization Method of Financial Statements Based on Accounting Management TheoryABSTRACTThis paper develops an approach to enhance the reliability and usefulness of financial statements. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) was fundamentally flawed by fair value accounting and asset-impairment accounting. According to legal theory and accounting theory, accounting data must have legal evidence as its source document. The conventional “mixed attribute” accounting system should be re placed by a “segregated” system with historical cost and fair value being kept strictly apart in financial statements. The proposed optimizing method will significantly enhance the reliability and usefulness of financial statements.I.. INTRODUCTIONBased on international-accounting-convergence approach, the Ministry of Finance issued the Enterprise Accounting Standards in 2006 taking the International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter referred to as “the International Standards”) for reference. The Enterprise Accounting Standards carries out fair value accounting successfully, and spreads the sense that accounting should reflect market value objectively. The objective of accounting reformation following-up is to establish the accounting theory and methodology which not only use international advanced theory for reference, but also accord with the needs of China's socialist market economy construction. On the basis of a thorough evaluation of the achievements and limitations of International Standards, this paper puts forward a stand that to deepen accounting reformation and enhance the stability of accounting regulations.II. OPTIMIZA TION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SYSTEM: PARALLELING LISTING OF LEGAL FACTS AND FINANCIAL EXPECTA TIONAs an important management activity, accounting should make use of information systems based on classified statistics, and serve for both micro-economic management and macro-economic regulation at the same time. Optimization of financial statements system should try to take all aspects of the demands of the financial statements in both macro and micro level into account.Why do companies need to prepare financial statements? Whose demands should be considered while preparing financial statements? Those questions are basic issues we should consider on the optimization of financial statements. From the perspective of "public interests", reliability and legal evidence are required as qualitative characters, which is the origin of the traditional "historical cost accounting". From the perspective of "private interest", security investors and financial regulatory authoritieshope that financial statements reflect changes of market prices timely recording "objective" market conditions. This is the origin of "fair value accounting". Whether one set of financial statements can be compatible with these two different views and balance the public interest and private interest? To solve this problem, we design a new balance sheet and an income statement.From 1992 to 2006, a lot of new ideas and new perspectives are introduced into China's accounting practices from international accounting standards in a gradual manner during the accounting reform in China. These ideas and perspectives enriched the understanding of the financial statements in China. These achievements deserve our full assessment and should be fully affirmed. However, academia and standard-setters are also aware that International Standards are still in the process of developing .The purpose of proposing new formats of financial statements in this paper is to push forward the accounting reform into a deeper level on the basis of international convergence.III. THE PRACTICABILITY OF IMPROVING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SYSTEMWhether the financial statements are able to maintain their stability? It is necessary to mobilize the initiatives of both supply-side and demand-side at the same time. We should consider whether financial statements could meet the demands of the macro-economic regulation and business administration, and whether they are popular with millions of accountants.Accountants are responsible for preparing financial statements and auditors are responsible for auditing. They will benefit from the implementation of the new financial statements.Firstly, for the accountants, under the isolated design of historical cost accounting and fair value accounting, their daily accounting practice is greatly simplified. Accounting process will not need assets impairment and fair value any longer. Accounting books will not record impairment and appreciation of assets any longer, for the historical cost accounting is comprehensively implemented. Fair value information will be recorded in accordance with assessment only at the balance sheet date and only in the annual financial statements. Historical cost accounting is more likely to be recognized by the tax authorities, which saves heavy workload of the tax adjustment. Accountants will not need to calculate the deferred income tax expense any longer, and the profit-after-tax in the solid line table is acknowledged by the Company Law, which solves the problem of determining the profit available for distribution.Accountants do not need to record the fair value information needed by security investors in the accounting books; instead, they only need to list the fair value information at the balance sheet date. In addition, because the data in the solid line table has legal credibility, so the legal risks of accountants can be well controlled. Secondly, the arbitrariness of the accounting process will be reduced, and the auditors’ review process will be greatly simplified. The independent auditors will not have to bear the considerable legal risk for the dotted-line table they audit, because the risk of fair value information has been prompted as "not supported by legalevidences". Accountants and auditors can quickly adapt to this financial statements system, without the need of training. In this way, they can save a lot of time to help companies to improve management efficiency. Surveys show that the above design of financial statements is popular with accountants and auditors. Since the workloads of accounting and auditing have been substantially reduced, therefore, the total expenses for auditing and evaluation will not exceed current level as well.In short, from the perspectives of both supply-side and demand-side, the improved financial statements are expected to enhance the usefulness of financial statements, without increase the burden of the supply-side.IV. CONCLUSIONS AND POLICY RECOMMENDATIONSThe current rule of mixed presentation of fair value data and historical cost data could be improved. The core concept of fair value is to make financial statements reflect the fair value of assets and liabilities, so that we can subtract the fair value of liabilities from assets to obtain the net fair value.However, the current International Standards do not implement this concept, but try to partly transform the historical cost accounting, which leads to mixed using of impairment accounting and fair value accounting. China's accounting academic research has followed up step by step since 1980s, and now has already introduced a mixed-attributes model into corporate financial statements.By distinguishing legal facts from financial expectations, we can balance public interests and private interests and can redesign the financial statements system with enhancing management efficiency and implementing higher-level laws as main objective. By presenting fair value and historical cost in one set of financial statements at the same time, the statements will not only meet the needs of keeping books according to domestic laws, but also meet the demand from financial regulatory authorities and security investorsWe hope that practitioners and theorists offer advices and suggestions on the problem of improving the financial statements to build a financial statements system which not only meets the domestic needs, but also converges with the International Standards.基于会计管理理论的财务报表的优化方法摘要本文提供了一个方法，以提高财务报表的可靠性和实用性。

密级：绝密外文翻译THESIS OF BACHELOR题目: 浅析商业银行会计风险控制存在的问题及对策英文题目: Analysis of Commercial Bank Accounting Risk Control Problems and Countermeasures 学院: 系别:专业:班级:学生姓名:学号:指导老师:起讫日期:我国商业银行会计风险成因及防范对策历史资料表明：导致许多国家20世纪以来先后爆发银行危机的主要原因是未能妥善解决银行风险问题。
长期以来，这一问题也困扰着我国，成为威胁我国国民经济持续、健康发展的重大隐患。
几年来国家采取了一系列必要措施：从1994至1995年给银行业立法，1996年后加强金融审慎性监管，1998年为四大银行补充2700亿元资本金，1999年成立资产管理公司并剥离五大行的1.4万亿元不良资产，2000年以后国务院严令各行降低不良资产率，等等。
但这些措施均没有触及体制不合理这个根本问题，因而无法从根本上控制银行风险增量，提高银行经营绩效。
目前，我国银行潜伏的高风险日益暴露出来。
面临2006年银行业全面开放后外资金融机构进入所带来的竞争和挑战，本届政府下决心彻底改革国有银行的体制，去年末央行动用外汇储备向中国银行、中国建设银行注资450亿美元，充实其资本金，使之达到《巴塞尔协议》规定的8％的资本充足率，推动国有银行股份制改革和最终上市，从根本上解决国有银行风险的增量问题。
因此，研究中国银行风险的特点、特殊的制度成因，股份制改革和公司治理结构建立这些被称为治本措施的一系列政策问题，具有重要的理论和现实意义。
本文第一章首先阐述了我国银行风险的表现形式。
其中银行信用风险特别是国有商业银行资产信贷质量问题，成为当前最为突出的金融风险；国有商业银行的流动性风险虽未显现（暂时被居民的高储蓄率所掩盖），但潜在的支付困难因素日益增多；财务风险主要表现在国有商业银行资本金严重不足和经营利润虚盈实亏两方面；此外我国银行还存在着较为严重的利率汇率风险、市场风险、犯罪风险。
我国银行风险具有集中性、隐蔽性和社会性的特点。
所谓集中性是指由于我国企业融资方式以间接融资为主，我国银行风险集中在国有银行；隐蔽性主要指我国银行经营不善一般不会导致其破产倒闭，往往表现为中央银行增加基础货币投放，引发高通货膨胀，由社会民众承担；社会性是指银行风险引发银行危机，有可能造成社会全面动荡，震撼乃至颠覆整个国家的政权。
我国银行潜伏着很高的风险，那么为什么我国未爆发银行危机？我国银行风险又是如何生成和累积的呢？本文第二章试图回答这些问题。
中国处于计划经济向市场经济的过渡阶段，这给政府执行稳定的经济调控政策留下了很大的空间，五个支柱支撑着中国的银行体系，即高储蓄率、内部融资的中小型企业的快速成长、强劲的出口、对其他融资渠道的严格控制以及隐式国家担保。
同时文章指出维持我国未爆发银行危机的五大政策支柱都面临着冲击，因此探究中国银行风险的成因显得非常重要。
本文将银行风险成因的着重点定位在制度因素上。
并分析了造成我国金融市场制度性风险的生成因素，主要有以下几个方面：转轨中的社会经济体制尚未走出计划经济体制的阴影；国有产权制度无法适应市场经济发展的需要；金融市场不发达，资本市场的融资比例偏低；金融市场的法律法规建设很不完善，金融监管力度不强。
中国银行风险主要表现为制度性风险，根源在于银行的法人治理结构不完善，国有产权主体缺位及委托——代理链条过长，因此本文第三章提出要解决银行目前存在的问题，必须从产权改革入手，实行国有银行的股份制改造，核心在于加快深化内部改革，建立良好的治理结构，转换经营机制，治本之策在于治理结构。
文章提出了改革国有银行治理结构的思路:明确国有产权出资人，形成二级法人体制，建立公司化组织结构，分离所有者的监督权和经理人的经营管理权，实现专业化管理。
并提出了国有商业银行治理结构的目标及实现方式、建立国有商业银行公司治理结构的政策建议等问题。
同时强调借鉴西方发达国家银行实行的以风险为核心的绩效考核机制，加强银行内部控制，建立、完善信贷资产风险管理机制。
本文第四章提出应建立外部配套措施，为银行的良性发展创造良好的环境。
首先，一个具有竞争性的银行体系是银行长期保持效率和稳健性的基础。
而目前国内金融业缺乏一个能够有效配置资源的竞争性市场结构。
要增进国有银行的经营绩效，必须引入市场和竞争机制，实现产权的流动，同时必须打破国有银行对中国银行业的垄断地位，建立一个充分竞争的金融市场结构。
其次，强调增强中国人民银行的独立性，利用银监会加强对商业银行的金融监管；同时评价了于2004年4月25日开始实施的差额存款准备金制度，这是依据中国金融体制现状的一项专门制度设计。
这部分还提出了其他政策安排，如设立存款保险制度，以便规避较大经营风险；分业经营和分业管理制度的安排，发挥其防范金融风险的“防火墙”作用；建立宏观金融风险监控、预警系统，及时处置金融风险，防止风险大面积扩散而触发金融危机。
China's Commercial Banks Accounting Risk Causes and CountermeasuresHistorical materials show : Led many countries to the 20th century, has erupted since the banking crisis is mainly due to failure to properly resolve the banking risks. China has been puzzled by this problem all along, which becomes a great hidden danger threatening economy to develop healthily . Chinese government had taken a series of measures over the past several years: Legislation for the banking in 1994, strengthening financial scrupulous supervision after 1996, supplementing capital of 270 billion yuan for four major state-owned banks in 1998, establishing assets management company and stripping non-performing assets of 14 thousand billion Yuan in 1999, etc. But all these measures have not touched the unreasonable system foundation of the banking system , therefore unable to control the risk increment fundamentally and improve performance .At present, the hidden risks have been exposed . In face of competition and challenge brought by foreign financial institutions after entering the WTO in 2006, Government's determination to thoroughly reform the current system of state-owned banks, foreign exchange reserves to the central bank late last year, the Bank of China, China Construction Bank injected 45 billion U.S. dollars, enrich their capital, so as to achieve "Basel Agreement" under the 8% capital adequacy rate, to promote joint-stock reform of state-owned banks and the ultimate listing of a fundamental solution to the problem of incremental risk of state-owned banks. Therefore probing into the characteristic of bank risk, special systematic original cause, joint-stock reformation and administration structure which are regarded as primary mesures has important theoritical and realistic meaning.Chapter one expounds the forms of China bank risks at first. The credit risks ,especially assets credit quality of state-owned commercial banks, are the most outstanding financial risks at present; Although the liquidity risk of the state-owned commercial banks has not appeared ( concealed by high deposits rate of the residents temporarily), the potential difficulty in payment increases ; Financial crisis is mainly manifested in the state-owned commercial banks, a serious shortage of capital and operating profit both virtual surplus real losses, " in addition ,there are still serious exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, crime risk and so on. In this part, the characteristic of China bank risks is also put forward,which includes concentrating, hidden and social characteristic.

How is the generation and accumulation in the second chapter? Trying to answer these question. China is planned economy to market economy, the stages of transition to the implementation of the policy of economic regulation stable left a large space, five pillars of the Chinese banking system, namely high savings, internal financing smes rapid growth, strong export to other financing channels, the strict control of state security and implicit in China. The paper points out that maintain banking crisis erupted without five policy pillar are faced with, so the impact of bank risk causes appears very important.This article will locate the emphasis of the causes of bank risk on the factors in the system.And analyzed the generating factors that caused China's financial market system risk .mainly in thefollowing aspects:the socio-economic system has not step out of the shadow of the planned economic system; state-owned property rights system could not adapt to the market needs of economic development; financial markets are underdeveloped , the low percentage of capital market financing; financial market laws and regulations of the building is very sound financial supervision and is not strong.Risk shows Bank of China mainly for system risk , origin depends on the bank corporate management structure does not improve and perfect , state property right main body vacancy place and agency by agreement chain are too long, therefore the main body of a book third chapter put forward need to resolve a bank having problem at present , must reform from property right starting, the stock system putting state banks into practice reforms, core is lain in being accelerated deepening the reform of the inside, building-up is fine govern structure , shift operation mechanism, scheme of effecting a permanent cure is lain in governing structure. the article governs the architectural train of thought having brought forward reformation state banks: Make clear that state property right sends out the money people , form two stage corporation system , found the company-rization framework of organization, separate owner's authority to supervise and manager's powers for operation and management , realize professionalization administration. And have brought forward state-owned commercial bank problem such as governing the architectural target and realizing way , the state-owned building-up commercial bank company governing architectural policy suggestion.

That the primo , one have the competitiveness bank system is that the bank long range keeps efficiency and solid basis. But, the at present domestic finance job is short of a competitiveness being able to have an effect to deploy resource market structure. Need to enhance state banks's managing achievement effect, must lead into the marketplace and competitive system , realize property right flow, must break the state banks monopoly position to Chinese banking at the same time , build a financial market structure competing sufficiently. Secondly, emphasize the independent character strengthening People's Bank of China , make use of a silver to supervise financial regulation that can reinforce to the commercial bank; System designs one item speciality of the current situation having estimated that system , this are to judge by Chinese monetary system at the same time in the required reserves starting the differences being put into effect on April 25 , 2004. Policy is arranged for other that this part has been brought forward, if setting up bank deposit insurance system, to evade more manage risk; Mark of job manages and divides job management system arrangement, bring it's the "fire prevention wall " effect keeping watch financial risks into play; Build macroscopic view financial risks supervisory control , early warning system , deal with financial risks in time, prevent risk large area from diffusing but trigger financial crisis.。
