8、;p>　　The SEC’S Interpretation</p><p>　　In December 2003, the SEC released FR-72, "Interpretation: Commission Guidance Regarding Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Res

16、ion, the SEC released a proposed rule. “Disclosure in Management's Discussion and Analysis about the Application of Critical Accounting Policies” This proposed rule provides more complete and direct guidance than the

17、 interpretation. The SEC has yet to act upon this proposal; it has not issued any amended proposals or final rules on the matter. Furthermore, the SEC'S Division of Corporation Finance's most recent Current Accou

19、ters; and 2) alternate estimates in the current period, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely in future periods that would materially impact the presentation of the company's financial condition, chan

20、ges in financial condition, or results of operations.</p><p>　　The proposed rule sets a number of additional disclosures for each estimate. Companies would be required to explain the significance of each cri

21、tical accounting estimate to the financial statements and, where material, to individual financial statement line items. Furthermore, the proposed rule would require quantifying financial statements' sensitivity to c

23、es would be required to describe the following: 1) the events or transactions that gave rise to the initial adoption; 2) the accounting principle adopted, and the method of applying it; and 3) the qualitative impact of t

27、 the proposal, filers would be required to disclose whether they discussed a company's critical accounting estimates with the audit committee. They would not be requited to disclose the nature of those discussions.&l

28、t;/p><p>　　Companies operating with more than one segment would have to identify specific segments affected by a CAP. In addition to company-wide critical accounting disclosures, companies would have to discuss

29、 CAPS for each identified segment.</p><p>　　The proposed rule also put forward the idea of requiring an independent audit of MD&A. It would require companies to provide quarterly updates of critical acco

30、unting estimates in their quarterly filings, including newly identified critical accounting estimates, and other material changes that would render previous disclosures out of date or misleading. The proposed rule would

33、ent Practice</p><p>　　The author reviewed annual reports of the largest 100 publicly traded companies from the Fortune 500. The author analyzed 10-K filings with fiscal year-ends between December 31, 2005, a

34、nd December 30, 2006.</p><p>　　Three accounting issues dominate companies’ CAP disclosures: impairments, pensions, and income taxes. As indicated in Exhibit 1, 39 out of 100 companies reported CAPS for impai

35、rments of intangibles, 25 reported CAPS for impairments in general, and 14 reported impairments of tangible assets. Another six reported CAPS for the valuation of residual costs of leased assets. With respect to postempl

36、oyment benefits, 64 companies reported CAPS, and two of those companies reported additional CAPS just fo</p><p>　　The 100 companies reported many additional types of CAPS, as shown in Exhibit 1. Forty-four c

37、ompanies reported CAPS for contingencies, 32 for revenue recognition, and 32 for bad-debt reserves. Valuation of investments and financial instruments was addressed by CAPS for 30 companies, and inventory for 24.</p&g

38、t;<p>　　Several CAP disclosures were industry-specific. Insurance companies reported claims liabilities as a CAP. Most retailers and retail suppliers addressed purchase and sales allowances (21 CAPS). Oil and gas

39、companies reported oil and gas accounting (four CAPS). and entertainment companies reported capitalization of entertainment assets (three CAPS).</p><p>　　The average company reported 5.6 CAPS in its MD&A

40、. By contrast, a previous study by the Financial Executives Research Foundation reported an average of 6.1 CAPS per company (this author, A Review of 2002 MD&A Disclosures: Critical Accounting Policies). The fewest C

41、APS reported were two, by an investment bank, but this company's disclosures were very long and detailed. The highest number of CAPS reported was 11, by a grocery chain.</p><p>　　Many companies provided

42、very detailed disclosures. For example, Exhibit 2 shows the Ford Motor Company's disclosure about other postemployment benefits (10-K/A, fiscal year-end December 31,2005). This disclosure indicates that management be

43、lieves that other postemployment benefits are a delicate area of accounting for the company, and that Ford’s income and financial position are very sensitive to specific assumptions. Ford explains, in detail, the need fo

44、r estimates and the assumptions used. Fu</p><p>　　Exhibit 2 also illustrates many important concepts about reporting such policies. First of all, accountants should write disclosures in plain English, using

45、simple declarative sentences. Use the active voice rather than the passive voice. Avoid complex words when simple ones will suffice. Use formatting tools, such as bullet points, to clarity the structure of ideas.</p&g

46、t;<p>　　Ideally, CAP disclosures should explain why estimates are necessary, emphasizing the necessary judgments and the inherent uncertainty in each area. For example, according to Best Buy; “Our impairment loss

47、calculations contain uncertainties because they require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate future cash flows and asset fair values, including forecasting useful lives of the assets and selec

48、ting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flows</p><p>　　According to United Technologies:</p><p>　　In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we estimate futur

49、e taxable income, considering the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies and the realizability of tax loss carryforwards. Valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets can be affected by changes to tax laws

50、, changes to statutory tax rates and future taxable income levels. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, we would reduce s</p

51、><p>　　The disclosures should describe the company's accounting. For example, Delphi Corporation explains how it estimates future cash flows when testing long-lived assets for impairment: “We estimate cash

52、flows using internal budgets based on recent sales data, independent automotive production volume estimates and customer commitment and consultation with and input from external valuation experts” (Form 10-K. 12/31/2005)

53、.</p><p>　　Companies should provide sensitivity analysis for each critical accounting area, quantifying how different estimates could affect the financial statements. For example, Lockheed Martin issued the

54、following disclosure about "Accounting for Design, Development and Production Contracts":</p><p>　　Products and services provided under long-term design, development and production contracts make u

55、p the majority of our business. Therefore, the amounts we record in our financial statements using contract accounting methods and cost accounting standards are material. Because of the significance of the judgments and

56、estimation processes, it is likely that materially different assumption could he recorded if we used different assumptions or if the underlying circumstances were to change. For exam</p><p>　　Postenmloyment
