THE VALUE OF A FORWARD CONTRACT IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Under some assumptions a valuation model for a forward contract in foreign currencies is developed. The model produces the value of the contract which is consistent with the value of other types of forward contract; the initial value is zero, and subsequent values are the present values of the differences between the forward rate when the contract is written and current forward rates.     

CREATING VALUE AT A CONGLOMERATE: THE CASE OF THE GODREJ GROUP

This discussion with the chairman of the Godrej Group, a well-known India-based conglomerate, begins by exploring the issue of diversification versus a single-industry focus, particularly in developing countries. Mr. Godrej observes that the capital and managerial talent provided by a corporate parent can be invaluable resources in a developing economy, where such commodities are likely to be in relatively short supply. On the other hand, he notes, a conglomerate must have some underlying strategic rationale in order to create value, and a diversified company will work only "when each of its businesses is run with clear and focused accountability."
To that end, the Godrej Group recently instituted the EVA performance management framework in six of its key businesses. In particular, the management teams running those businesses are rewarded according to the terms of an EVA-based incentive plan. Each business has since seen significant improvements in capital efficiency, market share, and overall performance. The stock price of the Godrej Group's publicly held entity has more than doubled (in a flat market), and the vast majority of the employees believe that the EVA implementation has been the company's most important recent initiative. Management teams are said now to look much more carefully at options for outsourcing, contract manufacturing, eliminating bottlenecks, and even reusing old equipment at new facilities.
Perhaps the most significant change, however, is that the "improved rigor and discipline of our EVA-based capital allocation system" has permitted Godrej family members to move from operationsoriented, owner-manager functions to a broader leadership role. The EVA system has allowed them to feel more comfortable in decentralizing day-to-day decision-making because they are confident that managers and employees are all working in the shareholders' interests.     

THE CHINESE SECURITIES REGULATORY COMMISSION AND THE REGULATION OF CAPITAL MARKETS IN CHINA

The rapid development of China’s capital markets necessitated the establishment of a regulatory agency that would administer market operations and protect investors’ interests. The Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) was established in 1992 for this purpose. In 1999, the Chinese Securities Law recognized the CSRC as the sole regulatory agency responsible for regulating securities instruments and markets in China. Although the CSRC is considered instrumental to Chinese accounting reforms and capital market development, it has remained relatively unexamined in the accounting literature. This paper contributes to the accounting literature by providing insight into an important regulatory agency that has enormous impact on the economic development of China. Specifically, this paper discusses the CSRC’s establishment and development, its regulatory efforts, and its achievements and shortcomings in its efforts to regulate China’s emerging capital markets. The underlying factors that explain some of the CSRC’s regulatory actions are also analyzed by discussing several cases involving fraudulent financial reporting.
