Rally in the Valley (1) What was the proposed accounting rule change that so upset people? Expense employee stock option compensation Why were people upset? Impact on corporate profits Impact on cost of capital, ability to do IPOs Impact on ability to hire/retain/motivate staff Adverse shareholder/political reaction

Rally in the Valley What was the regulators’ response to the protests? Earnings should reflect the cost to existing stockholders of giving options to employees. Full disclosure is in investors’ best interests Who do you think was “right”? Who do you think will win?

Today’s work Foster discussion in groups: Group 1 1.2

Key Ideas (1) Understand the sources of demand for and supply of financial statement information Demand performance evaluation investment decisions contracting Supply firms (insiders -- mainly managers) intermediaries (outsiders -- everyone else)

Key Ideas (2) Information asymmetry is the “key” friction which gives rise to the demand for financial statement information. What is information asymmetry? One party has information others do not have Why is it a “bad”? Opens the door for self-serving, opportunistic behavior by more informed party, erodes trust.

Key Ideas (3) Effects of more information asymmetry increases contracting costs impact on cost of capital impact on demand and supply of capital impact on investor behavior & social consequences How to solve/reduce the problem? disclosure: voluntary vs. mandatory information production by intermediaries

Key Ideas (4) How does accounting reduce information asymmetry? honest, truthful disclosure is a credible means of reducing information asymmetry by sharing the information possessed by the insider. Disclosure must be useful to uninformed relevant, reliable, timely relevance is determined by user needs reliability is ensured by 3rd party e.g. auditing

Key Ideas (5) Why is accounting information useful in reducing the problems created by information asymmetry? standard definitions of terms revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities standard definitions make it easier for contracting parties to agree on what numbers to use auditors to verify assertions by the informed party
