Bakgrund och problem:Studien undersöker revisionsprocessen och användningen av IFRS 13 därfastigheter värderas till verkligt värde. Detta innebär att värderingen ska motsvaraett marknadsmässigt försäljningspris, ett så kallat verkligt värde. Medvärderingsmetoden medföljer subjektiva bedömningar som värderingen grundas på.Att värdera fastigheter på detta vis innebär komplexitet och antaganden. Inte minstinnebär det också utmaningar för revisorn och revisionsprocessen. Syfte:Syftet med denna studie är att studera revisorers komfort kopplat tillfastighetsvärderingar enligt IFRS 13. Metod:Studien har genomförts med en kvalitativ metod med en deduktiv ansats där empirinsamlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem auktoriserade revisorer. Slutsats:Trots att revisionsunderlag för fastigheter värderade till verkligt värde inte harsamma tillförlitlighet som vid anskaffningsvärde föredras de av respondenterna dåde menar att det skapar mer komfort eftersom det på ett bättre sätt speglarverkligheten till skillnad mot anskaffningsvärdering. Tidigare studier belyser riskenatt revisorer kan bli för beroende av specialister där professionell skepticism ochoberoendet rubbas. Vår studie kommer fram till att varken revisorns skepticism elleroberoende rubbas vid fastighetsvärdering enligt IFRS 13. / Background and Problem:The study examines the audit process and the use of IFRS 13, where real estates arevalued at fair value. This valuation should correspond to a market-based sales price.The method involves subjective assessments on which the valuation is based. Thisway of valuing properties involves complexity and assumptions which poseschallenges for the auditor and the audit process. Purpose:The purpose of this study is to investigate auditor’s comfort levels associated withreal estate valuation according to IFRS 13. Method:The method in the study was conducted using a qualitative method with a deductiveapproach, where empirical data was collected by semi-structured interviews withfive certified auditors. Conclusion:Despite the fact that audit evidence for real estate valued at fair value does not havethe same reliability as acquisition value, they are preferred by the respondents as thevaluation method creates more comfort by more accurately reflects reality asopposed to acquisition valuation. Previous studies highlight the risk that auditorscan become overly dependent on specialists which can affect professionalskepticism and the independence negatively. Our study concludes that neither theskepticism nor independence is disrupted during real estate valuation according toIFRS 13.

Reporting in terms of the principles of IAS 41, or equivalent, did not result in comparable financial results in the industry. This is mainly due to valuation challenges experienced and the significant costs of these valuations, contributing to the theoretical gap addressed in this study, where the cognitive theory was applied to determine how to improve the consistency, validity and reliability of the fair valuing of biological assets. The knowledge gap is a result of the inconsistent application of the requirements of IAS 41 which results in incomparable financial results which impairs the decision-making of the users of such information. The results of the study were analysed and contextualised to develop an application guideline to assist the financial statement compilers to present results to users that will enhance their decision-making. This guideline is the result of an investigation on the industry trend and standards on how to value, disclose and report on biological assets in the annual reports; an assessment of the valuation challenges experienced, the valuation factors considered and the frequency thereof; an analysis of the valuation inputs applied and a contextualisation of the various users’ expectations when these financial results are assessed. Such assessment included an inductive content analysis, further grounded theory contextualisation and grouping of the results into a guideline that was tested on various users to ensure the usefulness and validity thereof. The purpose of the study and the developed guideline is to determine how to improve the consistency, the validity and the reliability of the fair valuing of biological assets to derive at informing, comparable, decision-enhancing balances in a cost efficient manner when detailed information is presented. / Centre for Accounting Studies / D.

Det har sedan länge konstaterats att förvaltningsfastigheter utgör en central roll i världsekonomin. Inte minst har detta uppdagats under kriser såsom den globala finanskrisen år 2008. Själva värdet på en förvaltningsfastighet är därför inte av intresse endast för fastighetsbolaget i fråga, utan även för intressenter. Sedan år 2005 ska noterade företag inom EU upprätta koncernredovisning i enlighet med IFRS vilket innebär att värdering sker till verkligt värde. År 2013 antogs IFRS 13 Värdering till verkligt värde av EU vilken med hjälp av en hierarkisk värderingsmodell på ett tydligare vis ska definiera värderingsprocessen. Värderingsarbetet sker antingen genom intern värdering eller extern värdering och granskning av denna process genomförs av revisorer. Det finns inte några formella krav på att extern värdering ska tillämpas utan detta är endast en uppmuntran.Syftet med studien är att belysa värderingsprocessen av förvaltningsfastigheter ur tre perspektiv. De perspektiv vi valt att utgå ifrån är interna värderare, externa värderare samt revisorer. Detta för att åtnjuta en så representativ bild som möjligt av själva värderingsprocessen. Studien utgår från en abduktiv forskningsansats där vi valt att genomföra semistrukturerade intervjuer, således är metoden för denna studie kvalitativ. Sju intervjuer har genomförts varav två har skett med interna värderare, två med auktoriserade externa värderare samt tre med auktoriserade revisorer. Tonvikt har lagts på revisorer då dessa antas inneha bäst kunskaper rörande IFRS för att få en så djup förståelse som möjligt för värderingsprocessen av förvaltningsfastigheter.Studien visar att på att översättningen från engelskans ”fair value” till svenskans ”verkligt värde” är olycklig och stundtals direkt missvisande. Anledningen är att det verkliga värdet inte nödvändigtvis behöver vara exakt eller just verkligt. Det är snarare en uppskattning av värdet vilket således borde benämnas rimligt värde, rättvisande värde eller alternativt marknadsvärde som dessutom är det begrepp som används inom branschen.Studien visar även på att ett formellt kunskapskrav genomsyrar branschen till följd av att värderingsprocessen är komplex och svårbegriplig. Finansiella rapporter är sällan tillfredsställande uttömmande vilket resulterar i en informationsasymmetri gentemot de intressenter som inte har eller kan åtnjuta samma kunskaper.Värderingen av förvaltningsfastigheter sker uteslutandet till indata på Nivå 3 vilken är den lägsta nivån inom värderingshierarkin i IFRS 13. Värdering till indata på Nivå 3 förklaras med att varje fastighet är unik i sitt slag. Därför menar respondenterna att det inte går att applicera ortsprismetoden, vilket innebär att fastigheten värderas till ett pris utifrån faktiska transaktioner på en aktiv marknad. Ortsprismetoden definieras enligt IFRS 13 som indata på Nivå 1 och är att ses som huvudmetod.Av studien framgår att det ryms mycket problematik vid värdering till verkligt värde och att IFRS 13 är för generellt för värdering av förvaltningsfastigheter. Trots de negativa aspekter som lyfts fram i studien är en förändring av rådande regelverk ingenting som förespråkas av respondenterna. / For a long time, it has been found that investment properties have a significant role in the world economy. This has been discovered during crises such as the global financial crisis in the year of 2008. The value of an investment property is therefore not only of interest for the real estate company in question, but also for stakeholders. Since 2005, listed companies in the EU must draw up consolidated accounts in accordance with IFRS, which means that valuation is carried at fair value. In 2013, IFRS 13 was adopted, which by means of a hierarchical valuation model should clearly define the valuation process. The valuation work takes place either through internal or external valuation and review of this process is carried out by auditors. There are no formal requirements for external valuation being used, however it is an encouragement.The purpose of the study is to highlight the valuation process of investment properties from three perspectives. The perspectives are represented by internal evaluators, external evaluators and auditors. This is meant to provide a more balanced representation of the actual valuation process. The study is based on an abductive research effort where we chose to carry out semi-structured interviews. Thus, the method of this study is qualitative. Seven interviews have been conducted, two of which have been conducted with two internal evaluators, two with external evaluators and three with auditors. The interviews conducted are meant to provide the reader with more context and a deeper understanding of the valuation process in relation to investment properties. Emphasis has been on auditors as they are believed to possess the best knowledge regarding IFRS.The study shows that the translation from the English concept “fair value” to the Swedish concept "verkligt värde" is unfortunate and sometimes directly misleading. The reason is that the fair value does not necessarily have to be exact which the Swedish concept suggests but rather an estimate of the value. The translation for the Swedish concept for fair value would be “true value” if translated back to English. For this reason, we believe that the concept of use should rather be called “rimligt värde” which is the exact translation from fair value to Swedish, or market value as it is being used in the field.The study also shows that a formal knowledge requirement pervades the industry because of the evaluation process being complex and difficult to comprehend. Financial reports are rarely satisfactory, resulting in an information asymmetry vis-à-vis some stakeholders.The valuation of investment properties is made exclusively to level 3 inputs, which is explained by the fact that each property is unique in its kind. Hence, it is not possible to apply the comparative method which by theory and prevailing rules are to be considered the main method. Despite the many deficiencies highlighted in the study, a change in the prevailing regulations is nothing advocated by the respondents. This even though the study finds that IFRS 13 is too general for valuation of investment properties.~ III ~This thesis is written in Swedish.

The implementation of International Accounting Standard 32 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation (lAS 32), International Accounting Standard 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (lAS 39) and International Financial Reporting Standard 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (IFRS 7) by developing countries has been met with mixed reactions largely due to the extensive use of the fair value concept by the three accounting standards. The use of the fair value concept in developing countries has proved to be a significant challenge due to either a Jack of formal capital market systems or very thinly traded capital markets. This study investigates the obstacles to determining fair values of equity share investments, government bonds and corporate bonds, treasury bills and loan advances in Mozambique. The study was done through a combination of literature review and empirical research using a questionnaire. The trading statistics of the financial instruments on the Mozambique Stock Exchange and the prospectuses of bonds were used. The empirical research was carried out using a type of non-probability sampling technique called purposive sampling. A subcategory of purposive sampling called expert sampling was used to select the eventual sample which was composed of people with specialised knowledge on the capital market system in Mozambique. The results of the empirical research were analysed using pie charts to summarise the responses. The research concluded that the Mozambique Stock Exchange is an inactive market for financial instruments characterised by thin trading in both equity shares and bonds. The estimation of fair values evidenced by observable market transactions is therefore impossible. The absence of credit rating agencies in Mozambique presents a significant challenge in assigning credit risk and pricing financial instruments such as bonds. The research also noted that significant volatility of the main economic indicators such as treasury bills interest rates and inflation made it difficult to determine fair values of financial instruments using financial modelling techniques. Due to the above obstacles to determining fair values of certain financial instruments in Mozambique, the best alternatives are to value these financial instruments at either cost or amortised cost. / Financial Accounting / M.

The purpose of supervision based on different countries have different accounting rules, leading to differences in national accounting problems. Taiwan has officially adopted the framework of International Financial Reporting Standards 4 Phase I since January 1, 2011. IFRS 4 Phase I is a transitional guidelines, which includes some definitions of insurance contracts. The principles of IFRS Phase I doesn’t cause serious effects for life insurance corporations. However, the problem of mismatching between the fair value of assets and the book value of liabilities still exists. Therefore, in order to achieve consistency management in asset and liability, the fair value valuation for liabilities is required under the frame work of IFRS 4 Phase II In our research, we would take a policy for example to evaluate the fair value of liabilities under the framework of IFRS 4 Phase II. Besides, we also analyze the the influences for life insurance companies after applying the IFRS 4 Phase II.

År 2002 utkom en förordning från Europeiska unionen (EU) som innebär att samtliga börsnoterade företag ska redovisa enligt IFRS-regelverket från och med år 2005. Detta innebär att fastigheter, som tidigare hade värderats till anskaffningsvärde, ska värderas till verkligt värde i enlighet med IFRS 13 och IAS 40. Det verkliga värdet ska representera värdet på fastigheten om den skulle säljas på en aktiv marknad. Värdering till verkligt värde är problematiskt utifrån den grundläggande kvalitativa egenskapen tillförlitlighet vars kriterium är att information ska vara fullständig, neutral och fri från felaktigheter. Eftersom det är omöjligt att veta de exakta marknadspriserna i förhand är det oundvikligt att det uppstår felaktigheter vid värderingen till verkligt värde. Det blir därför intressant att undersöka hur väl värderingen till verkligt värde stämmer överens med faktiska marknadspriser och om avvikelserna är tillräckligt stora för att redovisningsinformationens tillförlitlighet ska försämras. Syftet med studien är att öka förståelsen kring hur fastighetsföretagens användning av verkligt värde vid värdering av förvaltningsfastigheter förhåller sig till redovisningsinformationens kriterier för tillförlitlighet och relevans. För att uppfylla syftet ska denna studie besvara två forskningsfrågor. Hur väl överensstämmer fastighetsbolagens redovisade verkliga värde jämfört med det faktiska försäljningspriset? Samt, i vilken utsträckning påverkar orealiserade värdeförändringar fastighetsföretagens resultat? För att besvara studiens två forskningsfrågor används en kvalitativ metod där data från samtliga årsredovisningar från svenska börsnoterade fastighetsföretag mellan åren 2005 och 2017 har samlats in. Realiserade värdeförändringar har ställts i relation mot redovisat verkligt värde för att besvara studiens första forskningsfråga. Vidare sätts företagens orealiserade värdeförändringar i relation till företagens resultat för att besvara studiens andra forskningsfråga. Studiens resultat visar att företagen som deltagit i undersökningen generellt värderar sina förvaltningsfastigheter till verkligt värde med en genomsnittlig avvikelse som uppgår till 9,3 % av de redovisade värdet. Resultatet av studien visar därför att regelverket för verkligt värde tillåter en värdering som inte uppfyller kriterierna för tillförlitlighet. Avvikelsen består i de flesta fall av undervärderingar av det verkliga värdet i förhållande till marknadspriset. Tidigare forskning beskriver att försiktighetsprincipen, inkomstutjämning samt kulturella redovisningstraditioner kan vara faktorer bakom studiens resultat. Resultatet om realiserade värdeförändringar blir mer intressant när man ställer det i relation till fastighetsföretagens orealiserade värdeförändringar i förhållande till deras resultat. Företagens orealiserade värdeförändringar uppgår till 55% av resultatet i genomsnitt vilket visar att den otillförlitliga redovisningen är betydande i fastighetsföretagens redovisning. Det finns behov i regelverket för ett tydligare ställningstagande om relevans eller tillförlitlighet ska vara den dominerande egenskapen. / The European union declared that the new International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) regulation would take affect in the year 2005. For real estate companies the new regulation resulted in the implementation of fair value accounting for properties, whom before this only was allowed to be valued to historical value. The fair value should represent the value of the asset on an active market according to IFRS 13. The problematic aspect of fair value accounting emerges when combined with the qualitative characteristics of accounting, specifically reliability and relevance. The criteria for reliability consist of being complete, neutral and free from errors. It’s impossible to to identify the future market prices beforehand which makes for errors in the fair value method of accounting. It is therefore of interest to examine the correspondence between fair value and actual market prices, and if the size of the deviation is sufficient to affect the reliability of fair value. The purpose of this paper is to increase the understanding around the real estate companies use of fair value accounting and how it affects the qualitative characteristics reliability and relevance. Further we choose to examine the problems through two research questions. To what extent does the observed fair value correspond with the market’s valuation of sold properties in Swedish real estate companies, and in what extent does the unrealised value changes affect the companies profit.The results of this paper shows that the participating companies in the study have a deviation in the fair value compared to the book value, with a mean of 9,3%. Further it shows that the regulatory framework allows a fair value appraisal which doesn’t comply with the criteria for reliability. The fair value deviation is usually an underestimate of the confirmed market value when the property is sold. Previous research explains the factors behind the underestimates as the prudence principle, income smoothing and differences in the cultural accounting tradition. Further is the study’s results attributable to the realised profits deviation more interesting when put in relation with the real estate companies unrealised profits. The real estate companies unrealised profit is 55% of the net profit before tax in the mean, which provides evidence that the unreliable accounting is of great importance for the real estate companies. There’s a need for the regulators to make a distinct position regarding which of the qualitative characteristics, relevance or reliability, that should be the predominant qualitative characteristic.

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar a incidência de impactos econômicos no patrimônio das empresas brasileiras, chinesas e indianas provocados pela mensuração e reconhecimento ao valor justo dos ativos provenientes de Reduções Certificadas de Emissões (RCEs) geradas em seus processos produtivos, com a implementação de projetos de Mecanismos de Desenvolvimento Limpo (MDLs), durante o período de 2005 a 2012. Consideraram-se os estímulos oferecidos com as diretrizes do Protocolo de Quioto e a representatividade de implementações de projetos de MDLs da China, da Índia e do Brasil, para apresentar, com base em pesquisas descritiva, analítica e quantitativa, uma proposta de mensuração contábil das RCEs, capaz de evidenciar os fluxos futuros de seus benefícios econômicos, partindo-se do modelo de Ratnatunga, Jones e Balachandran (2011). Para tanto, trabalhou-se com a hipótese de que as RCEs não estão sendo mensuradas ao valor justo enquanto ativo, fato este que tem inviabilizado a evidenciação dos efeitos patrimoniais dos fluxos de caixa futuros. Descreveu-se a teoria da mensuração contábil como suporte ao valor justo; discutiu-se os padrões contábeis existentes nos países mencionados e as principais características que envolvem as adoções das International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) em cada um deles, com foco na mensuração contábil ao valor justo, aceita pelo International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). As orientações contábeis internacionais emanadas para contabilização das RCEs foram apresentadas para analisar o cenário atual de desenvolvimento do tratamento contábil atribuível ao ativo em questão. Assim, detectou-se que a mensuração das RCEs tem sido pouco discutida. Sugeriu-se que com a efetivação do registro dos projetos de MDLs junto ao Conselho Executivo da United Nations Framework Conference on Climate Change (UNFCCC), as RCEs passem a ser reconhecidas ao valor justo e como ativos intangíveis desenvolvidos internamente por parte das entidades hospedeiras dos projetos de MDLs, em contrapartida ao Patrimônio Líquido (PL), até o momento de sua realização. A base para mensuração do valor justo proposta foi os valores de mercados ativos. Em função do lapso temporal que estarão gerando benefícios econômicos, realizou-se projeção financeira sobre as quantidades potenciais constantes estimadas de Reduções Esperadas (REs) para todo o período de desenvolvimento das atividades dos projetos, utilizando-se uma taxa Euribor para desconto de seus valores futuros ao presente. De posse dessas variáveis, os valores justos das REs de 31 projetos de MDLs brasileiros, 379 chineses e 318 indianos, foram projetados sobre o valor do PL de 15 empresas brasileiras, 56 chinesas e 183 indianas componentes da amostra da pesquisa, com apoio do teste estatístico não-paramétrico Wilcoxon. Os resultados da pesquisa forneceram indícios de que a mensuração ao valor justo das RCEs, e seu reconhecimento enquanto ativo intangível, poderia ter representado um impacto positivo no grupo de contas patrimoniais das empresas participantes da pesquisa. Assim, a aplicabilidade empírica da mensuração ao valor justo das RCEs embasada em discussões teóricas já existentes, possibilitou a realização de avaliações desse ativo enquanto item patrimonial capaz de gerar efeitos econômicos positivos no patrimônio das entidades localizadas em países em desenvolvimento, durante a primeira fase do Protocolo de Quioto. / This research aimed to identify the incidence of economic impacts on equity of Brazilian, Chinese and Indian companies caused by the measurement and recognition at fair value of the assets from Certified Emission Reductions (CER) generated in their production processes, with the implementation of Clean Development Mechanisms (CDM) projects from 2005 to 2012. It was considered the incentives offered to the guidelines of the Kyoto Protocol and the representativeness of CDM projects implementation of China, India and Brazil, to present, based on descriptive, analytical and quantitative research, a proposal for accounting measurement of CER, able to enhance the future flows of its economic benefits, based on the Ratnatunga, Jones and Balachandran (2011) model. Therefore, it worked with the hypothesis that the CER are not measured at fair value as assets, a fact that has made impossible the disclosure of balance sheet effects of future cash flows. It was described the theory of accounting measurement as support at fair value. It was discussed existing accounting standards in those countries and the main characteristics that involve the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in each of them, focusing on accounting measurement at fair value, accepted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The international accounting guidelines issued for accounting of CER were presented to analyze the current scenario of development of the accounting treatment attributable to the asset. Thus, it was found that the measurement of CERs has been little discussed. It was suggested that with the realization of the registration of CDM projects with the Executive Council of the United Nations Framework Conference on Climate Change (UNFCCC), CER start to be recognized at fair value as intangible assets developed internally by the host entities of CDM projects, in contrast to Equity, until the moment of its realization. The basis for measuring fair value proposition was the values of active markets. Depending on the time gap that will generate economic benefits, a financial projection on potential constants estimated quantities of Expected Reductions (ER) for the whole period of development of project activities was carried out, using a Euribor rate to discount their future values to the present. With these variables, the fair values of ER from 31 Brazilian CDM projects, 379 Chinese and 318 Indians were simulated on the value of equity of 15 Brazilian companies, 56 Chinese and 183 Indian components of the survey sample, with test support statistical non-parametric Wilcoxon. The survey results provided evidence that the fair value measurement of CER, and its recognition as an intangible asset, could have represented a positive impact on the group balance sheet accounts of the participating research companies. Thereby, the empirical applicability of the fair value measurement of CER grounded in existing theoretical discussions, made it possible to carry out assessments of this asset as a heritage item capable of generating positive economic effects on equity of entities located in developing countries, during the first stage of the Kyoto Protocol.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Alice Mie Tanikawa Bernice.pdf: 1055918 bytes, checksum: 6ee9e6037c941351ecb791d35e2216ca (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-08-28 / The fair value measurement of biological assets brought important changes in the companies engaged in agricultural activities. The method of measurement is highlighted by the discounted future cash flow. The agricultural sector in Brazil has stood out in the international scenario and has had significant weight in the formation of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The fair value that has been adopted by these companies, generates information relevant to the market. The process of adapting to the new accounting standard for asset measurement may have been complex or simple depending on the method adopted, the company structure and systems, among other factors. The immediate impact would be on the Financial Statements (DF), for the directors of the company and users of financial information. Other aspects would have relevant reflexes in this process, which are important to know them. This work intends to contribute to the identification of the impacts caused in a company, its managers, the employees involved in the process of adopting this new form of asset measurement, through the application of the methodology of a case study in a reforestation company, which was adapted to the new way of measuring assets, until then evaluated at historical cost, and started adopting the method of measurement by discounted future cash flow. In addition, the work was characterized by the exploratory approach focused on bibliographic research of the main aspects related to the fair value of biological assets. It is concluded that the adoption of Technical Pronouncement CPC29 - Biological Asset and Agricultural Product has impacted in some aspects such as the financial one, that includes the DF and the operational aspect, in relation to a new activities focused on the fulfillment of this new concept, that is to measure the forests at fair value / A mensuração a valor justo de ativos biológicos trouxe mudanças importantes nas empresas dedicadas às atividades agropecuárias. Destaca-se, dentre as formas de mensuração, a de valor justo, o método por meio do fluxo de caixa futuro descontado. O setor agropecuário no Brasil tem se destacado no cenário internacional e tem tido peso relevante na formação do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB). O valor justo que passou a ser adotado por essas empresas gera informação relevante para o mercado. O processo de adaptação ao novo padrão contábil para mensuração de ativos pode ter sido complexo ou simples, dependendo do método adotado, da estrutura da empresa e sistemas, entre outros fatores. O impacto imediato seria nas Demonstrações Financeiras (DF), para os dirigentes da empresa e usuários de informações financeiras. Outros aspectos teriam reflexos relevantes nesse processo, os quais são importantes conhecê-los. Este trabalho pretende contribuir com a identificação dos impactos causados em uma empresa, aos seus dirigentes e aos funcionários envolvidos no processo de adoção dessa nova forma de mensuração de ativos, através da aplicação da metodologia de um estudo de caso em uma empresa de reflorestamento, que se adaptou à nova forma de mensuração de ativos, até então avaliados ao custo histórico, e que passou a adotar a mensuração a valor justo com a abordagem por meio do fluxo de caixa futuro descontado. Além disso, o trabalho caracterizou-se pela abordagem exploratória voltada para a pesquisa bibliográfica dos principais aspectos relacionados a valor justo de ativo biológico. Conclui-se que a adoção do pronunciamento técnico CPC 29 – Ativo biológico e produto agrícola impactou em alguns aspectos como o financeiro, que compreende as DF, e o operacional, no que tange a novas atividades voltadas para o atendimento deste novo conceito que é o de mensurar as florestas a valor justo

Värderingsproblematik för materiella anläggningstillgångar har identifierats av författare och företag vilka har belyst avsaknaden av bättre värderingsmöjligheter då vi idag främst använder oss av värdering till anskaffningsvärde som. Problematiken grundar sig i att redovisningen inte helt avspeglar värdet för företags materiella anläggningstillgångar vilket gör att jämförbarheten och trovärdigheten kan ifrågasättas. Syftet med studien är att undersöka olika tillämpningar av värderingsmodeller som finns samt belysa varför företag väljer en viss värderingsmodell. Metodiskt kommer den genomföras som en fallstudie. Detta då uppsatsen bygger på ett kvalitativt tillvägagångssätt för styrkandet av studiens verklighetsförankring. Studien innefattar ett huvudobjekt som fungerar som vetenskapligt fält, Mölndals industriprodukter AB där mer djupgående granskning skett samt kontinuerlig kontakt etablerats. Erhållna resultat som fältarbetet genererat kommer jämföras mot tre ytligt granskade företag vilka kommer fungera som reflektion av övriga marknaden för analys och vidare resonemang. Efter att teoretiska studier genomförts har det empiriska materialet analyserats.Erhållna resultat har påvisat att problematiken med att värdera ett företags materiella anläggningstillgångar delvis bygger på otillräckliga standarder och principer. Vilket gör att det krävs vidare utveckling av värderingsverktygen för att hantera vår alltmer komplexa verklighet. Detta då vi i vår värdering i vissa lägen blir alltför ålderdomliga medan de nya metoderna i vissa lägen visat sig alltför osäkra och opålitliga. / Program: Civilekonomprogrammet

歐盟保險業新監理架構Solvency II 於第5 次量化衝擊研究完成後計畫將在近年正式施行，我國保險業監理制度是否朝採用Solvency II 架構的方向前進仍未為定論，但必頇先行瞭解採行此制度可能對業界造成的影響。 本研究以2010 年8 月時CEIOPS 對Solvency II 所進行的第5 次量化衝擊研究QIS5 設立的標準與原則，對公司的資產與負債做假設後，以公帄價值法衡量壽險公司各部位資產位與負債，包括準備金的公帄價值衡量，並利用QIS5 所提供之計算工具標準法計算四家台灣壽險公司在2009 年底時的清償資本要求SCR。而QIS5 是在金融風暴後不久，當時環境使得利率極低，為了估算在利率環境較正常的情況下，本研究以2007 年底之利率做敏感度分析，重新計算各公司之資產與負債狀況與清償資本要求SCR。 研究結果發現在本研究假設下，負債面的準備金提存不足，保險公司以經濟 資本角度來衡量已經屬於破產狀態。投資型分離帳戶以外的準備金計算與目前準備金計提的方式除了頇以公帄價值衡量保險責任的最佳估計外，另外需要計提風險邊際，此數額約為最佳估計總額的12.4%至30.2%，保險公司自有資本不足有很大的因素是由於此部分準備金的計提。 也發現所計算出的SCR 中所最大的比率為利率風險或匯率風險，在假設以較 高利率環境做敏感度分析後發現壽險公司淨值仍然為負數，且所需要的SCR 與之前所得結果相差不大，顯示壽險公司負債部位對利率敏感度相當高，即使曝險部位變少，對於未來的利率變動仍需要準備相當大的資本以防範虧損。 / After the completion of the Fifth Quantitative Impact Study (QIS5) for the new insurance industrial regulation framework- Solvency II, European Union planned to implement the project in few years. No matter that the regulatory system of insurance industry in Taiwan will follow the trend or will not, it is a must that we should estimate the impacts on the whole industry before making the decisions. This study have an aim to estimate the Solvency Capital Requirements of 4 life insurance companies in Taiwan in the same principles with QIS5, which were took place in August 2010 by CEIOPS. In order to calculate the SCR, we made a lot of hypotheses and then estimated the fair value of the company assets and liabilities, including the fair value of technical provision. By means of the calculating helpers provided by CEIOPS used in QIS5, we found out the SCRs of these companies when they were on 31 December 2009. Then we performed the sensitivity analysis by the different interest rate which is based on the data on 31 December 2007, and recalculated the SCRs of the companies. This study had conclusions that the technical provisions were not sufficient to fulfill the obligations in aspect of the economic value. The surplus of companies were exhausted, because the technical provisions increased by fair valuation. Also, the heavy loadings of risk margins as 12.4% to 30.2% of the best estimates were the important reason of the negative own fund. We found that the capital requirements of interest risk and currency risk took great percentages of total SCRs. And the SCRs will not reduce in great amount caused by technical provisions reduced in the situation that interest rate come back to the level in 2007. It showed that the SCRs had great sensitivity to the interest risk and insurance companies should prepare sufficient own fund to prevent financial crisis caused by interest rate shock.
