The Impact of International Financial Reporting Standards on Key Financial Indicators of Canadian Companies

Smith, Clint W. 01 January 2016 (has links)
Companies throughout the world use different methods for reporting their financial information to capital market investors and regulators. These different methods have caused financial reporting of statements to become less transparent, has increased adjustment errors and forecasting errors, and has reduced investor confidence. As a result, the International Accounting Standards Board created International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to establish a global standard. Currently, 140 jurisdictions worldwide have implemented IFRS. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of IFRS on 248 Canadian companies and to analyze whether the 2011 implementation of IFRS affected corporate stock prices, key financial measurements of companies, and industry sectors. Arrow's social choice theory and general equilibrium analysis provided the theoretical framework for this quantitative investigation. Two 1-year time periods, 2009-2010 (the year before IFRS was implemented) and 2011-2012 (the year after IFRS was implemented), were analyzed using secondary data. A multiple regression model was used to examine the impact of IFRS implementation on price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-sales ratio, and price-to-cash flow ratio of the 248 Canadian companies. Findings indicate that IFRS led to an overall improvement in financial reporting by Canadian companies, which suggests IFRS's effectiveness. Mandating IFRS worldwide may facilitate comparisons of corporate financial information, reduce costs, reduce investor fatigue, improve adjustment errors and forecasting errors, and provide capital market participants the confidence to make valued investment decisions, leading to positive social change.

Les déterminants de la couverture du risque par les produits dérivés : compagnies non financières du S&P/TSX 60

Essrifi, Imane 07 1900 (has links) (PDF)
L'utilisation des produits dérivés a suscité une large littérature traitant des déterminants de la couverture. Il reste pourtant beaucoup à faire dans ce domaine de recherche. Nous avons choisi dans ce mémoire d'étudier les déterminants de la couverture par les produits dérivés pour les firmes non financières constituant l'indice canadien S&P/TSX 60. En plus d'étudier les déterminants de la couverture dans le contexte canadien, notre étude contribue à la littérature en dressant le profil de l'utilisation des produits dérivés par type de risque, par type d'industrie et par type de produits dérivés utilisés par les 50 grandes entreprises canadiennes. A cette fin, une base de données a été constituée à l'aide de laquelle nous avons pu établir des relations statistiquement significatives entre le niveau de couverture et plusieurs déterminants. Ainsi, nos résultats suggèrent que les mesures de l'avantage de taxe, la taille de l'entreprise ainsi que les substituts de la couverture sont négativement liées à cette dernière, tandis que les mesures de la détresse financière et de sous-investissement sont positivement liées au niveau de la couverture. Nous avons établi, également, une relation positive significative entre le niveau des ventes à l'étranger et le niveau de couverture du risque de taux de change. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Gestion des risques financiers, produits dérivés, compagnies du S&P/TSX 60, exposition, création de valeur.

“Accumulation by Dispossession” by the Global Extractive Industry: The Case of Canada

Kinuthia, Wanyee 13 November 2013 (has links)
This thesis draws on David Harvey’s concept of “accumulation by dispossession” and an international political economy (IPE) approach centred on the institutional arrangements and power structures that privilege certain actors and values, in order to critique current capitalist practices of primitive accumulation by the global corporate extractive industry. The thesis examines how accumulation by dispossession by the global extractive industry is facilitated by the “free entry” or “free mining” principle. It does so by focusing on Canada as a leader in the global extractive industry and the spread of this country’s mining laws to other countries – in other words, the transnationalisation of norms in the global extractive industry – so as to maintain a consistent and familiar operating environment for Canadian extractive companies. The transnationalisation of norms is further promoted by key international institutions such as the World Bank, which is also the world’s largest development lender and also plays a key role in shaping the regulations that govern natural resource extraction. The thesis briefly investigates some Canadian examples of resource extraction projects, in order to demonstrate the weaknesses of Canadian mining laws, particularly the lack of protection of landowners’ rights under the free entry system and the subsequent need for “free, prior and informed consent” (FPIC). The thesis also considers some of the challenges to the adoption and implementation of the right to FPIC. These challenges include embedded institutional structures like the free entry mining system, international political economy (IPE) as shaped by international institutions and powerful corporations, as well as concerns regarding ‘local’ power structures or the legitimacy of representatives of communities affected by extractive projects. The thesis concludes that in order for Canada to be truly recognized as a leader in the global extractive industry, it must establish legal norms domestically to ensure that Canadian mining companies and residents can be held accountable when there is evidence of environmental and/or human rights violations associated with the activities of Canadian mining companies abroad. The thesis also concludes that Canada needs to address underlying structural issues such as the free entry mining system and implement FPIC, in order to curb “accumulation by dispossession” by the extractive industry, both domestically and abroad.
