保险公司CFO的职能与角色定位

现代企业理论表明，公司就是一系列委托代理关系的总和。而只要存在委托代理关系．就不可避免信息不对称。代理人作为“内部人”就可能会利用手中的信息优势侵害委托人的利益，即我们通常所说的“道德风险”和“逆向选择”。为此，现代公司治理结构理论应运而生，通过设计和完善公司治理结构、

论当代财务总监(CFO)职能的转变及其发展趋势

长久以来,财务总监(CFO,亦称首席财务官)所充当的只不过是站在总经理(CEO,亦称首席执行官)身后咀嚼数字的角色,很少有人想到财务总监也有他们自己的思想。但是时代已经不同了,CFO套用陈规就能完成日常事务的时代已经一去不复返。商业社会的变化如此之快,以至于那些高层管理人员必须做到能够熟练处理企业运营过程中有可能遇到的各种问题。此外,技术的进步和全球经济的发展等一些不容忽视的因素,也使得现代CFO的职能发生了重大转变,他们不再仅仅是一名会计专家,还必须是一位优秀的企业指挥家。一、提供战略性意见当代CFO的作用极其广泛,…     

CFO内部董事有助于董事会履行监督职能吗?

董事会具有咨询和监督双重职能。现有文献一般认为内部董事主要履行咨询职能,独立董事主要履行监督职能,而本文则基于2006~2013年我国A股非金融上市公司的数据,从CFO兼任董事的角度研究了内部董事对监督职能的贡献。研究发现,CFO内部董事能够帮助董事会更好地履行监督职能,并且这种治理机制能制约CEO权力、解决国有企业的代理问题、弥补一些外部治理机制的缺陷。本文丰富了董事会治理以及CFO制度领域的研究,并为公司治理实践中董事会如何构成以及如何提高董事会监督职能提供了新思路。

CFO role and CFO compensation: An empirical analysis of their implications

Given concerns over CFO pay, especially incentives, and considering the tension between a CFO’s fiduciary responsibility and being a key member of the firm’s executive team, we examine the determinants and effects of CFO compensation amount, incentive intensity, and proximity to CEO compensation in a sample of European companies (FTE 500, 2005–2009). First, we focus on the CFO role as a determinant of CFO compensation. Like prior work, we proxy for CFO roles by using hand-collected public data on education and past professional experience, but we supplement these proxies with proprietary data to more directly capture the firm-specific nature of the CFO job in term of its similarity with that of the CEO. We thus argue how CFOs can have varied roles characterized by different levels of financial expertise and CEO-likeness, and document that it is this latter aspect that is associated with CFO compensation. Second, we study the effects of CFO compensation design on outcomes in the CFO’s realm related to financial reporting. We find that CFO financial expertise is positively associated with financial reporting quality, while a CFO’s pay long-term incentive intensity and a CFO’s incentive compensation proximity with the CEO are negatively associated with financial reporting quality. Overall, then, our results suggest that CFOs get rewarded for their CEO-likeness, and particularly for their being similar to the CEO in terms of tasks and decision making authority. But it is their financial expertise that is positively related to financial reporting quality. At the same time, using compensation that is more incentive intensive and more similar to that of the CEO appears to be potentially detrimental to the quality of financial reporting. These results are relevant for boards involved in selecting highly expert CFOs, and their compensation committees charged with defining subsequently effective incentive compensation plans for those CFOs.

What the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation can learn from the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation

This article attempts to draw attention to some important lessons that the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) can learn from the experience of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC). FSLIC was the government agency that insured deposits at savings and loan associations until it was replaced in 1989, leaving a massive deficit to be financed by taxpayers. Like FSLIC, the PBGC is a government agency that guarantees a form of private corporate debt. As guarantor of the pension benefits promised by private plan sponsors, the PBGC bears the risk of a shortfall between the value of insured benefits and the assets securing those benefits. There has been a significant change in the attitude and behavior of senior public officials and legislators as a result of the S&L debacle. Directors of the PBGC and the Secretaries of Labor to whom they report have pointed out the weaknesses of some of the pension funds that the PBGC insures and have pursued an active legislative agenda designed to reduce the PBGC's vulnerability to those weaknesses. Those efforts have resulted in a series of laws and amendments to laws that have significantly improved the U.S. pension guarantee system. But the magnitude of the PBGC's exposure to shortfall risk depends on three factors: (1) the financial strength of plan sponsors, (2) the degree of underfunding of insured benefits, and (3) the mismatch between the market-risk exposure of insured benefits (a form of long-term corporate debt) and the market-risk exposure of the assets securing that debt. Only the first two of these have been addressed by past legislative reforms. The third factor appears not to be well understood. It is apparently a widespread belief among policymakers that a well-diversified pension portfolio of equity securities provides an effective long-run hedge against liabilities of defined-benefit pension plans, so that there is no mismatch problem. This belief is mistaken. Equities are not a hedge against fixed-income liabilities even in the long run. Thus, even if the PBGC achieves the goal of full funding at one point in time, the mismatch between the market-risk exposure of the pension benefits that it insures and the pension assets backing them creates the potential for large shortfall losses in the future as the economy and capital market rates change in unpredictable ways. Therein lies an uncomfortable parallel with the S&L debacle.     

信息攫取与出口信用保险发展:以中国出口信用保险公司为例

出口信用保险是规避收汇风险的有效途径,信息攫取则是发展出口信用保险的手段之一,对出口信用保险发展起到促进作用。当信息攫取、资本、国际贸易对出口信用保险发展的边际贡献率相同时,出口信用保险增长率达到稳态,并以一个稳定的速率增长。将出口信用保险纳入Ramsey模型,从信息攫取角度分析中国出口信用保险业发展,结论表明,无论长期还是短期,信息攫取对出口信用保险发展都存在显著影响。但出口信用保险行业的信息攫取力度仍有待加强。     

CFO's accounting talent,compensation and turnover

This paper builds on and contributes to the literature on Chief Financial Officer's (CFO) compensation and turnover. We contend that the accounting talent of CFOs can be measured by accounting errors that occur when CFOs implement accounting standards. We find (i) a positive association between the CFO's accounting talent and the CFO's compensation ex ante in the transition year; (ii) a positive association between the CFO's accounting talent and the CFO's bonus in the subsequent year (adoption year); and (iii) an inverse association between the CFO's accounting talent and CFO turnover in the subsequent year (adoption year).     

Role of Clearing Corporation in Indian financial market development

The Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL) was set up with the prime objective to improve efficiency in the transaction settlement process, insulate the financial system from shocks emanating from operations related issues, and to undertake other related activities that would help to broaden and deepen the Money, Gilts and Forex markets in India. The role of CCIL is unique as it provides guaranteed settlement of three different products under one umbrella. It has been instrumental in setting up and running NDS-OM, NDS-Call and NDS-Auction system for the central bank that had helped the Indian market to evolve and grow immensely. It had also immensely bolstered CCIL's image in terms of ability to provide transparent, efficient, robust and cost effective end to end solutions to market participants in various markets. The success of its money market product `CBLO' has helped the market participants as well as the central bank to find a solution to unusual dependence on uncollateralized call market. CCIL has introduced many innovative products/tools like ZCYC, Bond and Tbills indices, Sovereign Yield Curve, Benchmark reference rates like CCIL-MIBOR/MIBID and CCBOR/CCBID.     

我国农业保险发展的窘境与政府在农业保险发展中的作用

农业是国民经济的基础产业,农业保险是农业保护体系的重要组成部分,但我国农业保险起步较晚,覆盖面小,保险能力低,呈现"供求双冷"的窘境.发展我国农业保险离不开政府的支持,政府支持农业保险发展要坚持一定的原则,采取立法、财政等具体措施加以实施.

政府在农业保险中的职能界限

在2005年5月召开的中国保险国际论坛上,保监会主席吴定富指出:开展农业保险,为半数以上的农民提供风险支持是四个亟待发展的项目之一。而这一过程离不开政府的参与。在世界各国的农业保险中,政府都起到了不可或缺的作用。有的国家政府实行强制性的农业保险,政府为农业保险提供补贴,但业务主要由私营保险公司运营。而其他一些国家政府只起到了监督人的作用。当前,谈及农业保险,往往人们就会提到“政府政策性农业保险为主导”,但是这一论断忽视了保险公司与政府之间的配合作用。因此,我们应立足于中国国情,使政府在农业保险业务中起到更积极的作用,探索出一种适合中国自己发展的农业保险和再保险体系。
