U.S. listed companies
7、, the predictability of financial information disclosure system changes Financial projections for the information provided is clearly different from the historical financial statements, because the investment decision-making was mainly attributable to a listed companys future financial condition and
8、 operating results related to the financial projections is precisely to provide such information;# as long as the quality of financial forecasts and reliable information will be than the information provided in the financial statements is more practical, this is the predictability of financial infor
9、mation raison detre. Level of development of U.S. capital markets in the world, second to none, its listed companies to publicly disclose financial information system is also very sound and predictable financial information for the disclosure of specific legal norms are (Registration under theSecuri
10、ties Act of 1933), but the industry forecast financial information disclosed in the theoretical understanding and concrete practice, but has experienced a long and difficult process. From the 20th century, 40 years, the U.S. securities industry and the accounting profession began to predictability o
11、f listed companies to disclose financial information issues thematic studies, but predicted the future development of the information listed companies with large uncertainties, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has prohibited public disclosure of listed companies, a series of forecas
12、ts of financial information. Its root, is in fact the result of a variety of factors:# First of all, from an investors point of view, because early investors in the securities market to determine lack of capacity, self-protection is weak, issuers of the issuance process in the early investors often
13、use the weakness of the development prospects of listed companies to make exaggerated statements, and some even deliberate fraud, in order to defraud investors in the funds, resulting in a sharp stock market turbulence caused by the securities regulatory authorities on the financial projections beha
14、vior extreme views. Second, the predictability of a time when many scholars question the reliability of financial affairs, they believe that the purpose of investment for investors is to obtain the benefits before making investment decisions often need to look at the economic situation of the propos
15、ed investment company, so those who reflect the companys existing information on assets and profits in the investment decision-making occupy a decisive position, and these information is mainly manifested in the companys financial statements, so the current financial statements of listed companies s
16、hould be the core content of information disclosure. Others, such as the predictability of future earnings projections, the information is not considered, because none of the companys managers prepared to lose money, if you really want to lose money, they will soon be replaced, it can be introduced
17、accordingly, the company managers projections made in any case will not be true speculation is nothing more than their future holds a desire Bale. Third, the forecast financial information has long been prohibited due mainly lies in the attitude of SEC regulation. From the United States Historically
18、, the early high-risk, immature capital markets can not provide a good environment to predict based on, so, SEC from birth until the early 70s, are unconditionally prohibited materials in public listed companies the disclosure of financial projections content. Its regulatory philosophy is that the f
19、orecast financial information of the essence is not credible, immature investors in making investment decisions, for such information would give undue reliance. However, in 1969-1979 years, according to stock market changes and the development of practical needs, SEC used a large number of human and
20、 material resources, including the relevant professional has set up two committees, adopted a series of acts, including the publication of a number of motions, extensive The participants in the market to seek suggestions and comments, to conduct a comprehensive and detailed investigation and verific
21、ation, etc., inviting a large number of experts and scholars and practitioners, held several hearings on the financial projections from evident SEC Code of Conduct attached great importance, but also instructions on whether to lift the ban, the U.S. securities industry there is fierce conflict of in
22、terest. In 1973, SEC clear policy direction to change the regulation to allow the voluntary disclosure of listed companies, the predictability of the financial statements, but did not make a mandatory requirement, but developed a safe harbor rule (Safeharbor rule) to encourage their voluntary disclo
23、sure of financial forecasts. The so-called safe harbor rule is that as long as the forecast financial information is based on the principle of good faith to prepare, and when used in the preparation of the basic assumptions are reasonable, then even if its not achieve this goal, do not have to bear
24、legal responsibility. However, after enactment of the Act, due to the policy to encourage listed companies to disclose more of their optimistic financial projections, immediately sparked a number of collective cases against listed companies. This is mainly because the listed company after the public
25、 disclosure of financial forecasts, the report content is securities dealers, investment advisers and other securities used by analysts as an important basis for investment decisions in the event of investment losses, financial projections will be questioned according to a reasonable hypothesis and
26、the principle of good faith by the establishment, and therefore a collective litigation against public companies have hidden important facts of the fraud cases have started to occur. To this end, the Federal Court subsequently proposed faithful expression of the principle of warning text, that is, w
27、hen the predictability of the financial statements made or opinions, if one comes with a corresponding warning statement, then the predictive statements would not constitute a securities fraud, this principle has been widely used in U.S. District Court. From 1975 to 1985 for 10 years, the United Sta
28、tes Association of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) has issued a financial projections for the preparation of the systems Guide, financial projections reveal and description - Position Statement 75-4, financial projections for inspection guide, financial forecasting feasibility report and other
29、four copies of the guidance documents. With the projections of financial information in the securities market of the widely used, in order to further standardize the predictability of public disclosure of financial information in 1978, SEC specially formulated and promulgated a forecast operating re
30、sults reveal the guidelines and protection of the safe harbor rules predict and other relevant provisions of the predictability of their generation and disclosure of financial information has important normative and guiding role of the AICPA has promulgated since the financial projections Accounting
31、 Standards (October 1985) and its corresponding Forecast Financial Statements Guide . It can be said that, as time goes by, the U.S. listed companys financial projections of management procedures and audit system matures, the predictability of financial information is also better reflect the company
32、s objective of being able to promote a more informed investment advisory services, business development, prompting the market price more accurately and reliably reflect its intrinsic value. As a result, the ban on financial forecasts from the 30 years since the United States to develop the federal s
33、ecurities laws, after almost half a century later, and finally in 1979, accompanied by acts of financial projections for the development of safe harbor rules were lifted, making special provisions for compliance with the law of the predictability of Disclosure of financial information is protected. After repeated changes, the rule is 1995 of the Private Sec
