This column is the second of two that describe recent and forthcoming changes to financial-instrument accounting standards -- changes that carry significant implications for preparers, auditors, and users of financial statements. In contrast to the International Accounting Standard Board's (IASB) three-phase approach to replacing International Accounting Standard 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) is taking a one-shot approach to revising Accounting Standards Codification Topics 825, Financial Instruments, and 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

The global financial crisis has brought considerable focus on the accounting model for financial instruments, both in the US and around the world. The significant rise in the volumes of asset securitizations and derivative financial instrument transactions has served to bring attention to particular features of accounting standards that seem counterintuitive to some and counterproductive to others. Since the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s, the arc of development of US GAAP has been toward the use of fair values, especially for financial instruments, on balance sheets, but with substantial opportunities to keep the effects out of income statements.

The case draws on the experience of Denelle Smart, assistant comptroller for financial reporting for a New Hampshire subsidiary of a London-based company. She has been assigned a role in her company's transition from UK GAAP to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) taking place throughout the European Union.

The introductory financial accounting student is given a brief introduction to IFRS along with a review of US/UK GAAP treatment of research and development costs and capitalization of costs in general.

Researchers testing the usefulness of accounting information in predicting financial distress have used many different responses as proxies for financial distress. They often compare results across these different studies, attempting to make conclusions concerning the usefulness of particular accounting information. However, comparisons are valid only if the various response variables used by the various studies have construct validity; the different response variables all measure the same intended construct, economic financial distress. The primary purpose of this paper is to determine the validity of various response variables of financial distress by observing the stability of results across three different response variables. Similar results across the different response variables w...
