证券投资顾问的利益冲突与信息隔离

证券投资顾问的内部模式和外部模式决定了其必然面临各方面的利益冲突,包括公司与客户、客户与客户、客户与非客户等相互间的利益冲突。通过信息隔离墙制度安排,证券公司投行业务、资产管理业务与客户之间的利益冲突可以避免或得到很好的管理;但是对于经纪业务与客户之间、客户与客户、客户与社会公众之间的利益冲突,则需要其他相关机制作补充,具体包括:对于投资顾问主体及其业务的充分信息披露;投资顾问对外咨询业务的限制;严格的合规检查、评价与问责制度等。

美国证券公司员工买卖证券的规制及启示

在美国,证券经纪-交易商从业人员的私人证券交易受《证券交易法》和NASD Rule 3040的约束。法律未禁止证券公司从业人员买卖证券,但为防范利益冲突,证券公司员工应遵守开户申报、下单审批等程序性规定。对于容易接触重大非公开信息的投行人员及存在突出利益冲突的研究分析师,美国制定了专门的证券买卖规则。我国有必要借鉴美国的做法,对《证券法》第43条进行相应修改,并由证监会或证券业协会制定证券公司从业人员买卖证券的规则,对投行人员和分析师的证券买卖行为做出禁止、限制及披露方面的规定。     

试论证券公司会计工作中存在的风险与对策

根据《证券法》，我国的证券公司实行分类管理，分为综合类证券公司和经纪类证券公司，综合类证券公司的证券业务分为证券经纪业务、证券自工农业务、证券承销业务和经中国证监会核定的其他证券业务四种；经纪类证券公司只允许专门从事证券经纪业务，即只能从事代理客户买卖股票等有价证券。由于我国证券市场仍处于初级阶段，尽管发展速度很快，但还不规范，目前证券公司仍存在着一些问题，本文试从会计角度谈谈证券公司的风险及对策。     

综合性证券商信息隔离制度研究--兼谈我国《证券法》第132条之完善

与各国证券立法一样，我国《证券法》承认综合性证券商的法律地位，但是就如何调整综合性证券商内部的利益冲突问题缺乏系统、有效的法律机制，美英等国广泛采用综合性证券商信息隔离制度，该制度产生有现实与理论根源、制度内容、违反制度的判断标准等，为防止综合性证券商在利益冲突的情况下损害客户利益，有必要完善我国《证券法》第132条之规定，建立综合性证券商信息隔离制度。

Bayesian Premium Rating with Latent Structure

We propose a fully Bayesian approach to non-life risk premium rating, based on hierarchical models with latent variables for both claim frequency and claim size. Inference is based on the joint posterior distribution and is performed by Markov Chain Monte Carlo. Rather than plug-in point estimates of all unknown parameters, we take into account all sources of uncertainty simultaneously when the model is used to predict claims and estimate risk premiums. Several models are fitted to both a simulated dataset and a small portfolio regarding theft from cars. We show that interaction among latent variables can improve predictions significantly. We also investigate when interaction is not necessary. We compare our results with those obtained under a standard generalized linear model and show through numerical simulation that geographically located and spatially interacting latent variables can successfully compensate for missing covariates. However, when applied to the real portfolio data, the proposed models are not better than standard models due to the lack of spatial structure in the data.     

The development of the group accounts disclosure system in Japan

The Japanese disclosure system of consolidated statements was introduced in 1977 and extensively revised in 1997. The role of the bureaucracy has been significant in these developments and seems to be part of Japan's closed culture. However, other explanations could also be applied. In particular, although Japanese firms opposed such disclosures on the basis of preparation costs, the Japanese government had to modernize the disclosure system, including consolidation, in order to develop the securities market regardless of an individual company's interests.     

Moments of Compound Mixed Poisson Distributions

Recursive formulae are derived for the evaluation of the moments and the descending factorial moments about a point n of mixed Poisson and compound mixed Poisson distributions, in the case where the derivative of the logarithm of the mixing density can be written as a ratio of polynomials. As byproduct, we also obtain recursive formulae for the evaluation of the moments about the origin, central moments, descending and ascending factorial moments of these distributions. Examples are also presented for a number of mixing densities.     

The designing of corporate accounting law in Japan after the Second World War

After the Second World War, during the neutralization of the controlled economy of wartime Japan, a design for a Corporate Accounting Law was elaborated by the Investigation Committee on the Business Accounting System. The Investigation Committee tried to establish not only new business accounting standards but also a central and independent administrative organ of corporate accounting regulation on the basis of the Corporate Accounting Law. The Corporate Accounting Law was expected to lay the legal foundation of the new corporate accounting regulation regime in Japan. Nevertheless, even though the original design of the fundamental accounting law was never realized, it should be considered the starting point for our understanding of external accounting history in post-war Japan.     

The deliberation around accounting techniques: accounting for depreciation and foreign exchange in an Indian jute company, 1870-1900

This paper examines the way two accounting techniques, namely depreciation and foreign exchange, were deliberated on, between 1870 and 1900, in an Indian jute company whose shareholders resided in the UK. The arena for these deliberations was the conflictual relationship between controlling and non-controlling shareholders as to how best to account for depreciation and foreign exchange especially when the particular accountings affected distributional issues such as the dividend decision. The purpose of this paper is to analyse and explain the processes by which a company's accounting practices emerge and develop as a contest between different interests. Accounting framed the parameters of the deliberations and provided the language of power and dissent. The paper uses a rich archive that includes narrative and accounting material.     

Pricing Dynamic Insurance Risks Using the Principle of Equivalent Utility

We introduce an expected utility approach to price insurance risks in a dynamic financial market setting. The valuation method is based on comparing the maximal expected utility functions with and without incorporating the insurance product, as in the classical principle of equivalent utility. The pricing mechanism relies heavily on risk preferences and yields two reservation prices - one each for the underwriter and buyer of the contract. The framework is rather general and applies to a number of applications that we extensively analyze.

International harmonization of Japanese accounting standards

Historically, Japanese accounting standards have been quite distinct from International Accounting Standards (IASs) which have been perceived as being modelled on British-American accounting standards. However, in the 1990s, after the publication of E32 in 1989 and the IASC-IOSCO Agreement in 1995, the Business Accounting Deliberation Committee (BADC), the standards-setting body in Japan, has pursued a policy of harmonization with IASs. Accounting standards relating to consolidated financial statements of companies that make cross-border offerings of securities or operate worldwide are being revised drastically. This paper focuses on the development of international accounting harmonization and its impact on Japan.     

Commodity financialization and sector ETFs: Evidence from crude oil futures

We investigate the diversification benefits of energy assets in the setting of commodity financialization using data on crude oil futures and Sector ETFs (SPDRs). Correlations between commodities and financial assets increased during the post-Commodity Futures Modernization Act (CFMA)/commodity bull cycle period, resulting in lower benefits of diversification. However, we find that conditional correlations between crude oil futures and sector ETFs meaningfully increased only since the 2008–09 financial crisis. The results therefore suggest that the financial crisis, rather than CFMA regulation, explains changes in the diversification benefits of commodities. Moreover, we find that oil futures returns are less correlated with SPDRs than with the S&P index. Thus, energy futures, and crude oil in particular, offer the potential for diversification benefits in sector-style investing.     

Dutch accounting in Japan 1609-1850: isolation or observation?

The trading station or factory maintained by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) was Japan's sole window on the Western world during most of the Tokugawa period (1600-1868). While many aspects of the factory's role in Dutch/Japanese cultural exchange have been researched little is known in the West of the accounting at the factory. This paper considers the possibility that double-entry bookkeeping employed by the Dutch may have been diffused to the Japanese. The available evidence is synthesized after considering the accounting system in the Dutch factory.
