Book Description
Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: Excellent, , course: Financial Markets, language: English, abstract: The overall aim of this study was to assess what the existing share transfer mechanism in the private banking companies in the absence of secondary stock market in Ethiopia is, along with its related challenges and benefits. The information was obtained from 12 purposively sampled private banking companies by adopting descriptive research design. Semi structured questionnaires were administered to 153 respondents from which 43 were all share department expertise and 110 were conveniently selected shareholders from those banks and interviews also administered for share department directors of those banks. The questionnaires covered the key aspects of what options are there to transfer shares in the absence of secondary stock market in Ethiopia and related challenges and benefits. The main conclusions of the paper were: despite the absence of secondary stock market in Ethiopia shares can be transferred between investors through different ways includes by purchase through the help of share department employees of the companies, by descendant’s if the transfer is sequestration, and through court order at the time of debt settlement, divorce, death. Difficult to know market value of shares, less marketability, inaccessibility of information about share trade were the major challenges with the existing share transfer mechanism that existed in private banking companies in the absence of stock market in Ethiopia. Generally the findings suggest that shares of the private banking companies can transferred between investors in the absence of stock market in Ethiopia. Some recommendations were given from those the banks should open formal office to act as an agent for share transfer purpose for their shareholders by doing so the banks can enhance the transferability of shares.

Book Description
This paper examines the underlying causes for why some countries adopt IFRS for bank reporting, while others do not. Using theory linking the effects of ownership on financial reporting, I first predict that countries with greater state or private concentrated ownership in banks are less likely to choose IFRS for bank reporting. I further predict that countries' banking industries with lower business activity in countries that adopted IFRS (that is lower "network effects") are less likely to choose IFRS for bank reporting. Using hand-collected data from 36 countries--all of which adopt IFRS for non-financial firms, but exhibit variation in the adoption of IFRS for banks--I document strong support of a negative association between adoption of IFRS for bank reporting and the extent of state or private concentrated ownership; I do not find evidence consistent with “network effects"--future work will address potential measurement error in the experimental variable.

Book Description
This study investigates the impact of IFRS on income smoothing activities through loan lossprovisions of Australia and New Zealand banks for the period of 1995-2009. Prior to IFRSimplementation, bank loans provisioning is subject to managerial manipulation, possibly dueto the weakness in GAAP that provides room for managers to manage earnings. Weconjecture that the robust disclosure requirements under IFRS could mitigate incomesmoothing activities of the IFRS adopters. Our paper examines the effects of IFRS adoptionon Australia and New Zealand banks as previous studies give much attention to EuropeanUnion (EU) sample case. The results indicate that there is no concrete evidence that IFRS,particularly IAS 39 is associated with mitigating income smoothing activities of banks inAustralia and New Zealand. However, income smoothing activities do decline in public listedbanks of Australian banks after IFRS adoption.
