1 Accounting for Financial Instruments Tentative Course Outline Summer 2010 Stephen Ryan Stern School of Business, New York University Description of Course: This course provides a conceptually sound and comprehensive treatment of the complex, developing, and imperfectly consistent financial reporting rules for financial instruments and particularly structured financial transactions. Two related facts provide the context for this course: (1) market participants continually design new financial instruments and transactions; (2) the half-life of new financial reporting rules for financial instruments is about five years. Reflecting these facts, a primary goal of this course is to provide students with the intellectual tools to understand new financial reporting rules for financial instruments and transactions as they are written and to understand how newly developed financial instruments and transactions can stress existing financial reporting rules. Such understanding requires an awareness of the economically important features of the transactions and how these features generally are (and logically can be) only partly captured by financial reporting rules. While covering much the same material as a course I have taught in a financial analysis class in the Stern MBA program for over a decade, I have tried to focus this course on the needs of auditors rather than financial analysts. Related to this focus, the other primary goal of the course is for students to learn how to conduct GAAP research on complex accounting issues. This task involves reading the relevant GAAP rules, spending the often considerable time necessary to determine how those rules apply to the fact and circumstances of specific transactions, and addressing the ambiguity that sometimes remains regarding GAAP compliance and appropriate MD&A and other disclosures even after spending this time. Auditors reputations and legal exposures can depend on Caveats: Because this is the first time I (or to the best of my knowledge anyone else) has taught a course like this to an audience of Masters of Science in Accounting program students planning to sit for the CPA, I will be learning about what works and what does not work pedagogically as we go along during this term. No doubt some parts of the course will work better than others. Constructive feedback is welcome, will contribute to the experience of future classes, and may even be rewarded with some weight in your grade. I have expressly not over-structured the course up front and intend to remain flexible as to approach. To increase the likelihood that I am in fact flexible, I have made my book recommended rather than required reading (see below). Topical Coverage: The course begins with the three main measurement bases used in the mixedattribute accounting model for financial instruments: (1) amortized cost accounting, typically subject to impairment accounting for assets; (2) fair value accounting; and (2) FAS 5 s incurred
2 loss model for loss contingencies. We will discuss the distinct features of these measurement bases, and the problems caused by mixed-attribute accounting for portfolios of financial instruments. The course proceeds to the accounting for structured finance transactions and hybrid financial instruments that bundle and/or unbundle and repackage the risk and value of simpler financial instruments and transactions. Some structured finance transactions, such as securitizations and repurchase agreements, raise the issue of sale versus secured borrowing accounting. Others involve variable interest entities, which raise the issue of consolidation. The course will then cover the accounting for risk management activities, notably derivatives and hedging. Finally, in any time that remains, the course will cover the accounting for leases and insurance contracts. My guess is we will not get to insurance, at a minimum. While this course focuses on U.S. GAAP for financial instruments and transactions, there is considerable overlap with international GAAP. Occasionally I will mention significant differences between U.S. and international GAAP. Materials: No good textbook currently exists that covers much of the course material. Hence, the main material for the course is the relevant accounting standards. FASB standards (FASs, FINs, FTBs, FSPs, EITFs, and DIGs) issued prior to the adoption of the Accounting Standards Codification in September 2009 (see the next section) are available online either at or through the Accounting Standards Codification described below. While it may seem inconvenient to learn accounting this way, in fact it is essential skill for auditors and other practicing accountants to be able to read and understand GAAP at the source. I will summarize the most relevant aspects of accounting standards in my class presentation slides. I will hand out those slides, as well as problems, cases, and other materials in class. The Accounting Standards Codification: As of September 2009, the FASB organizes pre-existing accounting standards (from all of the primary sources, not just the FASB) and issues new standards according to the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). New standards are issued as Accounting Standards Updates prefaced by brief summaries describing their purposes and effects. While the idea of putting all the relevant GAAP for each topic in a single place is a good one, in my opinion the ASC as currently structured and implemented is not a well-advised or userfriendly system, because it does not reliably exposit material in a coherent fashion, does not contain the important Basis for Conclusions sections of pre-existing standards, and does not provide such sections to any meaningful extent in Accounting Standards Updates. Despite these limitations, we are all going to have to get used to the ASC. 2
3 Full cross-referencing of pre-existing standards to the ASC is available to Stern accounting students on the codification website, asc.fasb.org, by clicking on Academic Accounting Access and using the username AAA51819 and the password snys520. Optional Text: I recommend but do not require you to purchase Stephen G. Ryan, Financial Instruments and Institutions: Accounting and Disclosure Rules, 2007, John Wiley & Sons. I wrote this book for my Stern MBA class B , Analysis of Financial Institutions and Financial Instruments. While that course is focused on the financial analysis of financial institutions, and the book is already somewhat out of date due to the significant standards issued since 2007 (most notably FAS 157, 159, 166, and 167), the book contains considerable material that is relevant to this course. It also reflects the way I think about the topics. For each session of this course, I indicate the portions of the book that are relevant to the session. For students interested in financial institutions, I recommend you read the book cover to cover. Prerequisites: The only prerequisite is C , Principles of Financial Accounting. C is a considerably more basic course than this one, however, and so I recommend students first take either C , Financial Statement Analysis, or C , Financial Reporting and Disclosure. Blackboard/Access to Class Materials and Streaming Videos: While I will hand out all materials needed for the course in class, I will post the materials that are in electronic form on Blackboard. These materials include files for streaming videos of each class. I do not use Blackboard for other purposes. Course Schedule: The tentative sequence of class sessions is attached. Consistent with my intent to remain flexible, some of the readings and assignments likely will change over the course of the term. 3
