Pages : 20
Book Description
This paper critically reviews the evolution of financial reporting in the banking sector with specific reference to the reporting of market risk and the growing utilisation of the measure known as Value at Risk (VaR). The paper investigates the process by which VaR became 'institutionalised'. The analysis highlights a number of inherent limitations of VaR as a risk measure and questions the usefulness of published VaR disclosures, concluding that risk 'disclosure' might be more apparent than real. It also looks at some of the implications for risk reporting practice and the accounting profession more generally.
Risk Disclosure in the European Banking Industry
Author: Salvatore PolizziPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030939677
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
This book analyses the use of qualitative and quantitative content analysis methodologies for risk disclosure practices in the European banking industry. While doing so, it assesses the level of transparency of financial and non-financial reports by focusing on the information disclosed to the public with reference to risk exposure and management. By drawing upon both qualitative and quantitative techniques, the book proposes two different methodological approaches to assess the information European financial institutions provide to the public with reference to the risk disclosure and derivative disclosure in their annual financial reports. These methodologies are subsequently employed to carry out empirical analyses on samples of European banks. By exploiting the points of strength of both qualitative and quantitative content analysis methodologies, this book offers insights into the advantages and disadvantages of these methodologies. The book is a must-read for academics and researchers that analyze disclosure practices of financial and non-financial firms, as well as financial analysts and other practitioners that are interested in assessing the level of transparency and evaluating the disclosures of financial and non-financial firms, especially, but not exclusively, with reference to risk disclosure and derivative disclosure.

How Informative are Value-at-Risk Disclosures?

Book Description
Value at Risk (VAR), a measure of the dollar amount of potential loss from adverse market moves, has become a standard benchmark for measuring financial risk. Spurred by regulators and competitive pressures, more institutions are reporting VAR numbers in annual and quarterly financial reports. To provide preliminary evidence on the informativeness of these new disclosures, I investigate the relation between the trading VAR disclosed by a sample of U.S. commercial banks and the subsequent variability of their trading revenues. The empirical results suggest that VAR disclosures are informative in that they predict the variability of trading revenues. Thus, analysts and investors can use VAR disclosures to compare the risk profiles of trading portfolios.
Public Disclosure and Bank Failures
Author: Mr.Tito CordellaPublisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1451851871
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 26
Book Description
This paper examines how public disclosure of banks’ risk exposure affects banks’ risk-taking incentives and assesses how the presence of informed depositors influences the soundness of the banking system. It finds that, when banks have complete control over the volatility of their loan portfolios, public disclosure reduces the probability of banking crises. However, when banks do not control their risk exposure, the presence of informed depositors may increase the probability of bank failures.
Consistency of Risk Reporting in Financial Services Firms

Book Description
While there have been substantial developments in financial reporting over many years, the reporting of risk in statutory reports is still very much in its infancy. This comes at no surprise given risk is multidimensional and can be measured in many ways. In the financial services sector (FSS), where risk-taking is the fundamental business, the industry standard for risk disclosure is quot;Value at Riskquot; (VaR). This applies to a small proportion of FSS risk - this being market risk in trading activities. Although operational risk has been at the core of the collapse of a number of financial services firms over recent years, there are no formal accounting standard for operational risk. Further, the Basel Committee's requirements on operational risk disclosures (Pillar 3) are qualitative.This paper examines the nature of current operational risk disclosures by international banks, the consistency of disclosures, and their usefulness. The information is taken from the 2004 and 2005 annual reports of fifty-seven financial institutions. We find that the quantity and quality of operational risk disclosures vary significantly across institutions. The disclosures are predominantly descriptive and of qualitative nature - in order to be useful banks need to supplement their current disclosures with quantitative information. Due to the lack of consistency and the vagueness of disclosures it is not possible for external parties at this to compare the operational risk levels of banks.
