P2 is a very challenging paper which builds on the knowledge and skills acquired at earlier levels in the preparation and analysis of financial reports for single entities and groups. It takes these areas to a higher level, putting into context the role of the accountant as a professional steward and adviser, who is responsible to the stakeholders of an organisation.It has five main sections: 1. Regulatory and ethical framework and current issues 2. Reporting the financial performance of entities 3. Group financial statements 4. Specialised entities 5. Analysis of the financial performance of entitiesThe main new topics introduced at this level relate to group accounts, but other topics are tested with a different emphasis and in more depth than at the Fundamentals Level.We provide material for both International and UK streams. The study text has been reviewed by the examiner and takes account of his advice on approaching the paper. Ethics, which have an impact on all aspects of financial reporting, are introduced at an early stage in the text, as is corporate social responsibility, so that students do not neglect these topics when covering the numerical areas. Accounting standards come next, combining revision with extension into more advanced areas. After a brief revision of basic groups, the more advanced consolidation topics are covered. Current issues are covered throughout the text within the appropriate topics, and also summarised towards the end of the book. The question bank contains practice at the case study-style question you will encounter in the real exam.BPP Learning Media is the publisher of choice for many ACCA students and tuition providers worldwide.

Book Description
Despite a clear distinction in law between equity and debt, the results of such a categorization can be misleading. The growth of financial innovation in recent decades necessitates the allocation of control and cash-flow rights in a way that diverges from the classic understanding. Some of the financial instruments issued by companies, so-called hybrid instruments, fall into a grey area between debt and equity, forcing regulators to look beyond the legal form of an instrument to its practical substance. This innovative study, by emphasizing the agency relations and the property law claims embedded in the use of such unconventional instruments, analyses and discusses the governance regulation of hybrids in a way that is primarily functional, departing from more common approaches that focus on tax advantages and internal corporate control. The author assesses the role of hybrid instruments in the modern company, unveiling the costs and benefits of issuing these securities, recognizing and categorizing the different problem fields in which hybrids play an important role, and identifying legal and contracting solutions to governance and finance problems. The full-scale analysis compares the U.K. law dealing with hybrid instruments with the corresponding law of the most relevant U.S. jurisdictions in relation to company law. The following issues, among many others, are raised: decisions under uncertainty when the risks of opportunism of the parties is very high; contract incompleteness and ex post conflicts; protection of convertible bondholders in mergers and acquisitions and in assets disposal; use of convertible bonds to reorganise and restructure a firm; timing of the conversion and the issuer’s call option; majority-minority conflict in venture capital financing; duty of loyalty; fiduciary duties to preference shareholders; and financial contract design for controlling the board’s power in exit events. Throughout, the analysis includes discussion, comparison, and evaluation of statutory provisions, existing legal standards, and strategies for protection. It is unlikely that a more thorough or informative account exists of the complex regulatory problems created by hybrid financial instruments and of the different ways in which regulatory regimes have responded to the problems they raise. Because business parties in these jurisdictions have a lot of scope and a strong incentive to contract for their rights, this book will also be of uncommon practical value to corporate counsel and financial regulators as well as to interested academics.
