A survey of changes and open issues in the alternative minimum tax (AMT) system focuses on IRS regulations, letter rulings, litigation and provisions of the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993. Relevant changes include limitation of investment interest deductions, increase in trust and individual tax rates, improved AMT depreciation rules, increased AMT exemptions and a 50% capital gains exclusion for small business stock sales. Recent rulings have also affected tax accounting, depreciation, depletion and AMT preference provisions.
Securities regulators worldwide are seriously considering establishing commonly accepted international accounting standards in 1999 for cross-border listings on stock exchanges. Global capital markets and the completion of a core international accounting standards list by the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) have been the prime reasons behind such a move. These IASC standards have provoked serious discussion as to whether they should be accepted for use in filings with the SEC by non-US firms in an issue which holds considerable significance for the future of the nation's accounting standards and financial reporting. A related issue is whether the IASC should basically change its structure to be able to serve as the agent for the convergence of national accounting sta...
We examine the individual and joint relation of discretionary accounting accruals, underwriter reputation, and venture capital backing with the long-run performance of initial public offerings (IPOs). We find that although correlated to some extent, these variables do not manifest the same underlying phenomena in their relation to IPOs' performance. The confluence of the variables is more important than using any one of them individually to identify IPOs that exhibit abnormal long-run stock returns. The combination of their negative aspects helps identify extreme underperformers. We also identify a set of winner IPOs by combining the positive aspects of the three variables.

For fiscal 2007, Lehman Brothers reported record income in excess of $4 billion on revenue of more than $60 billion. In early 2008, its stock was trading in the mid-$60s, yielding a market capitalization of more than $30 billion. Over the next eight months the stock tumbled, losing 95% of its value. It was trading around $4 by September 12, 2008. Three days later, Lehman filed for bankruptcy protection, becoming the largest US company to fail. In 2006, Lehman made a deliberate business decision to pursue a higher-growth business strategy. To do so, it switched from a low-risk brokerage model to a high-risk, capital-intensive banking model. In response to the crisis, Lehman attempted to paint a rosy -- but misleading -- picture of its financial health by employing an accounting trick the...
