...Research Paper No. 2009/03 Source of Finance, Growth and Firm Size – Evidence from China Jun Du1 and Sourafel Girma2 January 2009 Abstract Using a comprehensive firm-level dataset spanning the period 1998-2005, this paper provides a thorough investigation of the relationship between firm size, total factor productivity growth and financial structure in China, controlling for the endogeneity of the latter. Generally, it finds financing source matters for firms of different size, and the extent to which financing source matters for firm growth is greater for small firms than big firms. Self-raised finance appears to be most effective in promoting small firms to grow, and bank loan seems to be more supportive to big firms. The relationship between size, finance and growth also depends on ownership. In addition, there exist strong complementarities between formal and informal finance, as well as between indigenous and foreign finance.

...The Impact of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 on Accounting and Finance Departments Danika Grace Brown Lakeland College Kellett School of Business – BlendEd BA 772 Advanced Industrial Accounting II Instructor Mary Diederich March 10, 2015 Table of Contents Abstract 2 Overview of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 3 About SOX 4 Reporting and Compliance 5 Risk Assessment and Control 6 Interview at Company X 7 Standards for Corporations and Officers 8 Auditing and Financial Reporting 9 Future Impact of SOX 10 Conclusion 11 References 13 Abstract Sarbanes-Oxley is the response from Congress in regards to the financial industry collapse that happened over a decade ago. Due to unethical reporting from corporations, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) is a United States federal law that set new or enhanced standards for all U.S. public company boards, management and public accounting firms. As a result of SOX, top management must individually certify the accuracy of financial information. In addition, penalties for fraudulent financial activity are much more severe. Furthermore, SOX increased the oversight role of boards of directors and the independence of the outside auditors who review the accuracy of corporate financial statements. This paper will look to provide an oversight of the law and how it pertains to the standards in Accounting and Finance departments nowadays. In addition, this paper will also touch on the ongoing costs and benefits of the now standard...

...LO1 Understand the sources of finance available to a Business Finance is the most vital thing to run the business. Companies operating as commercial entities must have sufficient cash balances to facilitate their smooth operations. Cash requirement can be raised from different sources, ranging from equity, various forms of debt, to internally generated funds through retained earnings which would otherwise be distributed to shareholders (Myers and Myers, 1991; J. Gitman, 1991). The sources of finance can be classified as Internal and External, Short-term and Long-term or Equity and Debt (Bromwich & Bhimani, 2009, pp.45). The two main sources of finance for business include internal and external sources. The business managers decide which form of financing to be used in the business (Klammer, 2003, pp.35). Internal Sources of Finance Personal funds - utilized by sole traders and partnerships. Owner takes on risk of losing their money. Family and friends - utilized by sole traders and partnerships. Friends can not only lose money but also harm relationships Selling assets - Dormant (unused) assets are typically sold.

Retained profit - Profits reinvested back into the business External Sources of Finance Share capital - limited companies selling shares. #1 way for limited companies to raise money and can provide up to billions.

It focuses on various aspects of international portfolio management and open-economy macroeconomics, and is a natural extension to the theories and practical issues explored in Investments and/or Finance. This course is aimed at students wishing to acquire a sound understanding of the main opportunities in international investments. For example, the relevance of hedging in the management of currency risk will be studied in light of theoretical results and empirical evidence. We will also briefly cover foreign direct investment (FDI), since in general, the revenue generated from FDI by U.S. firms is about three times as large as the revenue generated from the exporting of U.S. goods by U.S. firms. Due to the ever increasing importance of international corporate governance, there is a corresponding need to decipher and use information in financial reports. At least one class meeting and one case study will touch on some key issues in international financial reporting and analysis, such as financial disclosure/transparency, incentives for off-balance sheet liabilities, hedge accounting, lease accounting, footnote disclosures, and intercorporate equity investments, and international...

...Public Debt 8 Recent developments with regard to the sovereign debt situation of countries ranging from Iceland to the United Arab Emirates, and more recently, of countries in the Euro‐zone, most prominently Greece, have been a rude awakening for global financial markets. After a protracted period of benign neglect, policymakers as well as investors are beginning to scrutinize more carefully the health of sovereign public finances. Lessons from previous debt crises are being re‐learnt. Escalating public debt does not bode well for macro‐economic stability and growth as it exerts upward pressure on interest rates and crowds‐out domestic private investment. For developing countries, the higher interest cost associated with domestic debt places a substantial strain on budgetary resources, with a negative spill‐over effect on social sector and development outlays and a slowdown in growth momentum. For external debt, creditors may charge a lower interest rate (as is the case with most multilateral and bilateral donors), but the exchange rate risk inherent in the accumulation of foreign currency debt leaves a country vulnerable to developments on the external account and in international markets. Therefore, policymakers are faced with choices not only of what levels of public debt to accumulate, but also the composition of the portfolio with regards to source...
