This Statement establishes standards of financial accounting and reporting for research and development costs with the objectives of reducing the number of alternative accounting and reporting practices presently followed and providing useful financial information about research and development costs. This Statement specifies: a. Those activities that shall be identified as research and development for financial accounting and reporting purposes. b. The elements of costs that shall be identified with research and development activities. c. The accounting for research and development costs. d. The financial statement disclosures related to research and development costs. 2. Accounting for the costs of research and development activities conducted for others under a contractual arrangement is a part of accounting for contracts in general and is beyond the scope of this Statement. Indirect costs that are specifically reimbursable under the terms of a contract are also excluded from this Statement. 3. This Statement does not apply to activities that are unique to enterprises in the extractive industries, such as prospecting, acquisition of mineral rights, exploration, drilling, mining, and related mineral development. It does apply, however, to research and development activities of enterprises in the extractive industries that are comparable in nature to research and development activities of other enterprises, such as development or improvement of processes and techniques including those employed in exploration, drilling, and extraction. 4. APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets," is hereby amended to exclude from its scope those research and development costs encompassed by this Statement. 5. Paragraph 13 of APB Opinion No. 22, "Disclosure of Accounting Policies," is amended to delete "research and development costs (including basis for amortization)" as an example of disclosure "commonly required" with respect to accounting policies. 6.

Although not all sections of this manual will apply to everyone, it should prove helpful to anyone who has questions regarding accounting within the District. All District employees shall comply with the policies and procedures in the accounting manual. This manual was reviewed and approved by the deputy superintendent for Business Services. In addition, the District’s administrative cabinet gives input into its contents. The policies in this manual provide a framework for audits as well as establish the processes for District financial activity. Balancing good accounting practices with practical procedures in an educational environment is challenging. Each policy in this manual was thought out and felt to be appropriate; however, if you have a suggestion or idea on changes that may need to be made to improve the accountability of the District’s finances or to streamline the accounting processes, please let us know. As with most manuals, updates, additions, and corrections will need to be made constantly. If you notice anything in this manual that is wrong or should be changed, please notify the accounting department. We want this manual to be useful, which means it must be as up-to-date and correct as possible. Significant changes that have been made since the previous version (Fall 2010) have been highlighted for the reader’s convenience. At the end of the manual is a set of forms and other documents that should be of help to each department and school. Please feel free to copy and use these forms as appropriate. Electronic versions of these forms are also available on the accounting department webpage: www.jordandistrict.org/departments/accounting/. Sincerely, John N.

Foreign Exchange Outlook - ScotiaFX

Foreign Exchange Outlook - ScotiaFXGlobal Economics & Foreign Exchange Strategy July 2013 Foreign Exchange Outlook The USD will continue to appreciate vs. core advanced and emerging-market currencies throughout the second half of the year. The CAD will be affected by a move towards the USD. Re-dollarization and repatriation dynamics fueled by Fed policy shifts and commodity price softness will keep floating Latin American currencies on the defensive. The EUR will be immersed in a gradual depreciation phase as a result of poor growth dynamics and relative monetary policy. GBP gains will be short-lived while the CHF remains subject to a quasi-fixed regime. The RUB, TRY and ZAR will continue to test low levels. The Asian currency outlook will be mixed with fierce central bank

intervention in Japan and China and persistently weak INR sentiment. Further CNY appreciation will be limited. The risk of regional competitive alignments are resurfacing. The AUD will remain in correction mode through the end of the year. Forecast Highlights s a USD USD is poised to strengthen broadly into year-end. c i r e CAD Near term weakness is likely to persist, stabilizing into year-end. m A MXN MXN likely to strengthen modestly from current levels by year-end. / c i f CNY Further gains from here are limited; particularly with Shibor elevated. a i i c s a A P JPY BoJ policy to weigh on yen; expect a year-end close of 105. EUR Poised for weakness as flows weaken and USD is strong. e p o r GBP Expected to come under downside pressure on growth, a strong USD & the BoE. u E CHF SNB expected to adhere to the EURCHF 1.20 floor.

Postemployment benefits are all types of benefits provided to former or inactive employees, their beneficiaries, and covered dependents. Those benefits include, but are not limited to, salary continuation, supplemental unemployment benefits, severance benefits, disability-related benefits (including workers' compensation), job training and counseling, and continuation of benefits such as health care benefits and life insurance coverage. This Statement requires employers to recognize the obligation to provide postemployment benefits in accordance with FASB Statement No. 43, Accounting for Compensated Absences, if the obligation is attributable to employees' services already rendered, employees' rights to those benefits accumulate or vest, payment of the benefits is probable, and the amount of the benefits can be reasonably estimated. If those four conditions are not met, the employer should account for postemployment benefits when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.

Under Section 3004 of the Act, the Secretary must consider "whether countries manipulate the rate of exchange between their currency and the United States dollar for purposes of preventing effective balance of payments adjustment or gaining unfair competitive advantage in international trade.” This Report covers developments in the second half of 2012, and where pertinent and available, data through early April 2013. U.S. real GDP grew by 1.7 percent at an annual rate during the second half of 2012. Growth was uneven over the year, in part reflecting temporary factors such as severe drought conditions that affected agricultural output last summer. Although the economy continues to face challenges in 2013, the housing sector is showing clear signs of recovery, households are making progress repairing their balance sheets, firms are making capital investments, and labor market conditions are steadily improving. A consensus of private forecasters currently expects real GDP to grow by 2.3 percent over the four quarters of 2013. Job creation proceeded at a steady pace during much of the latter half of 2012, but accelerated toward the end of the year and into 2013. On average, nonfarm payrolls increased by 180,000 per month in the second half of 2012. Over the six months through March 2013, the average monthly pace of job creation rose to 188,000. Between December 2011 and December 2012, the unemployment rate fell by 0.7 percentage point to 7.8 percent, and dropped further in March 2013 to 7.6 percent, the lowest level in more than four years Boosting growth, creating jobs, and putting public finances on a sustainable path are priorities of the Administration. The federal budget deficit narrowed to 7.0 percent in FY2012, and, based on recent legislative changes, is projected to decline to 5.3 percent of GDP in FY2013. Over the medium-term, the Administration is aiming to cut the deficit to less...

Conceptual Framework of Financial Accounting

The Discussion Paper “Conceptual Framework of Financial ...The Discussion Paper “Conceptual Framework of Financial Accounting” Accounting Standards Board of Japan December 2006 ( Tentative translation: 16 Mar. 2007) Contents Preface・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ 1 Chapter 1 “Objectives of Financial Reporting” ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ 4 Chapter 2 “Qualitative Characteristics of Accounting Information” ・・・・・ 12 Chapter 3 “Elements of Financial Statements” ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ 22 Chapter 4 “Recognition and Measurement in Financial Statements” ・・・・ 30 1 Preface The Role of the Conceptual Framework Conceptual frameworks, in general, organize the premises and concepts that underlie corporate accounting, particularly financial accounting. It offers a conceptual basis for accounting standards and, as a result, is expected to help provide a better understanding of these standards and enhance foreseeability in their interpretation. Moreover, conceptual frameworks, in general, aid users of

financial statements and should have the effect of preventing unnecessary costs that those users might incur when attempting to interpret accounting standards. Because it also has the role to provide guidelines for future standard setting, this Conceptual Framework is not merely a summary of existing fundamental premises and concepts, but also reflect an analysis and reexamination of those premises and concepts. Therefore, this Conceptual Framework includes parts that cannot explain some of the existing accounting standards and parts that have yet to become standards. However, this Conceptual Framework does not immediately propose developing or amending individual and specific accounting standards. Rather, its role is to provide basic guidelines. Environments Surrounding Accounting Standards This Conceptual Framework builds on premises and concepts underlying existing accounting standards and reflects current constraints surrounding financial reporting. Constraints include market practices, investors' ability to analyze information, the current legal system and basic ideas underlying such system, and social value judgments regarding the economic impact of standard setting. Today, these constraints are becoming common around the world, and the differences among countries are at least partly disappearing. This trend is particularly prominent in the business environment, where barriers to the cross-border transfers of goods, services, money and people have been removed and free trade based on common rules is successfully underway. As part of this trend, global convergence of accounting standards is under progress. The ASBJ believes that the development of this Conceptual Framework, which establishes the fundamental concepts that underlie accounting standards and financial 2 reporting in Japan, would facilitate discussions in international settings aimed to achieve global convergence of accounting standards. However, a concern may exist that releasing this Conceptual Framework as an Exposure Draft at this time may not be appropriate, considering the joint project between the IASB and the FASB, which is working towards developing a common conceptual framework. Thus, to avoid unnecessary confusion and misunderstanding, the ASBJ decided to release this Conceptual Framework as a Discussion Paper and not to seek public comments. In that sense, this Conceptual Framework presents the results of discussions at the ASBJ in recent years as part of its efforts to provide a conceptual basis for the various accounting standards in Japan. The ASBJ believes that this Discussion Paper will further evolve through its participation in discussions in international settings, particularly the active participation in joint project between the IASB and the FASB to develop a common...

Paragraphs in bold type indicate the main principles.) Objective 1 An entity may carry on foreign activities in two ways. It may have transactions in foreign currencies or it may have foreign operations. In addition, an entity may present its financial statements in a foreign currency. The objective of this Standard is to prescribe how to include foreign currency transactions and foreign operations in the financial statements of an entity and how to translate financial statements into a presentation currency. 2 The principal issues are which exchange rate(s) to use and how to report the effects of changes in exchange rates in the financial statements. Scope 3 This Standard shall be applied (a) in accounting for transactions and balances in foreign currencies, except for those derivative transactions and balances that are within the scope of Ind AS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement; (b) in translating the results and financial position of foreign operations that are included in the financial statements of the entity by consolidation, proportionate consolidation or the equity method; and (c) in translating an entity’s results and financial position into a presentation currency. 4 Ind AS 39 applies to many foreign currency derivatives and, accordingly, these are excluded from the scope of this Standard. However, those foreign currency derivatives that are not within the scope of Ind AS 39 (eg some foreign currency derivatives that are embedded in other contracts) are within the scope of this Standard. In addition, this Standard applies when an entity translates amounts 3 relating to derivatives from its functional currency to its presentation currency. 5 This Standard does not apply to hedge accounting for foreign currency items, including the hedging of a net investment in a foreign operation. Ind AS 39 applies to hedge accounting. 5 This Standard applies to the presentation of an entity’s financial statements in a foreign currency and sets out requirements for the resulting financial statements to be described as complying with Indian Accounting Standards. For translations of financial information into a foreign currency that...

Foreign Exchange Comptroller’s Handbook Narrative and Procedures

Foreign Exchange - OCCOther Income Producing Activities Foreign Exchange Comptroller’s Handbook Narrative and Procedures - March 1990 Comptroller of the Currency Administrator of National Banks I (Section 813) Comptroller’s Handbook Foreign Exchange (Section 813) i Foreign Exchange (Section 813) Table of Contents Introduction 1 Risks 1 Policy 6 The Market 12 Examination Procedures 17 Internal Control Questionnaire 25 Verification Procedures 32 Comptroller’s Handbook Foreign Exchange (Section 813)1 Foreign Exchange (Section 813) Introduction This section is intended to provide minimum background and procedural guidelines to examiners responsible for evaluating a bank’s foreign currency activities. Within individual banks, foreign currency money market and exchange trading operations may be combined or completely separate with regard to policies, procedures, reporting, and even dealing. However, they ultimately must

be viewed together to evaluate liquidity and to insure compliance with overall bank objectives and risk management strategy. For the sake of brevity, this section discusses both functions as if they were performed by the same traders, processed by the same bookkeepers and managed by the same officers. Close coordination is required among examiners performing the foreign exchange, due from banks—time, nostro account, and funds management functions. Most importers, exporters, manufacturers, and retailers tend to let banks handle their foreign exchange needs. They rely on banks to make and receive their foreign currency payments, to provide them with foreign currency loans, to fund their foreign currency bank accounts, and to purchase their excess foreign currency balances. They may ask banks to provide such services for immediate delivery, i.e., at spot (short-term contracts, perhaps up to 10 days), or they might contract to buy or sell a specified amount of foreign currency for delivery at a future date. In either instance, the rates for such services may be established prior to the finalization of the commercial transactions, and the related costs may be calculated and often passed on to the buyers. Risks In contracting to meet a customer’s foreign currency needs, by granting loans, accepting deposits, or providing spot or forward exchange, a bank undertakes a risk that exchange rates might change subsequent to the time the contract is made. The bank, therefore, must turn to wholesale markets, principally other banks, to acquire the cover necessary to protect itself against loss on such contracts. The astute banker manages that risk by maintaining constant surveillance over the following: Net Open Positions. A bank has a net position in a foreign currency when its assets, including spot and future contracts to purchase, and its liabilities, Foreign Exchange (Section 813) Comptroller’s Handbook2 including spot and future contracts to sell, in that currency are not equal. An excess of assets over liabilities is called a net “long” position and liabilities in excess of assets, a net “short” position. A long position in a currency which is depreciating will result in an exchange loss relative to book value because, with each day, that position (asset) is convertible into fewer units of local currency. Similarly, a short position in a currency that is appreciating represents an exchange loss relative to book value because, with each day, satisfaction of that position (liability) will cost more units of local...

The Foreign Exchange Market In Vietnam

THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET IN VIETNAM:VIETNAM’S EXCHANGE RATE POLICY AND IMPLICATIONS FOR ITS FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET, 1986-2009 Tran Phuc Nguyen* and Duc-Tho Nguyen Griffith Business School (AFE) Griffith University Nathan, QLD 4111, Australia ABSTRACT Vietnam’s foreign exchange (forex) market has remained relatively poorly developed despite more than two decades of general reform throughout the economy. This paper adopts a microstructure approach to the analysis of the root-causes underlying the operational deficiencies of this market. The analysis suggests that the authorities have tended to follow a de facto adjustable peg exchange rate regime which, in turn, has acted as a retardant to the development of the country’s forex market. Consequently, market signals have become increasingly non-transparent. There are indications that market forces have often moved beyond

the framework of current regulations. Key words: Foreign exchange market; market microstructure; Vietnam; VND/USD exchange rate. August 2010 * Corresponding author, Tran.Nguyen@grifffith.edu.au 1 1 Introduction In line with a general economic reform process dating back to at least the late 1980s, the Vietnamese authorities have endeavored to allow and encourage financial markets to develop. The formation of an organized foreign exchange (forex) market in the early 1990s was an example of such efforts. Yet, as is the case in a number of other developing economies, the forex market in Vietnam has remained relatively poorly developed, with low trading volumes, limited use of derivative products, and poor liquidity. What are the main reasons behind such weaknesses? This paper will adopt a market microstructure approach to this question. Specifically, the paper will examine how the conduct of Vietnam’s exchange rate policy has shaped the ways in which its forex market is organized and administered, and draw implications for the market’s level of operational efficiency. In so doing, the paper seeks to make contributions in two main respects. First, it will help to address the relative dearth of systematic analyses of the forex market in Vietnam. The existing literature in English on this particular topic is rather thin. While the literature in Vietnamese is more voluminous, apart from several reflective contributions, to date much of the relevant information has come piecemeal from disparate sources, such as short articles in trade journals, and undergraduate student dissertations or research papers (for examples of these, see Nguyen Tran Phuc 2009b). Reconciling and synthesizing such piecemeal and potentially conflicting information is a non-trivial task. Further, the paper will offer some new information obtained through a recent survey of market participants (the survey was conducted by the authors in February-May 2010). It is expected that a systematic analysis of the structural and operational characteristics of this forex market, with an emphasis on more recent years, will be of documentary interest to scholars and analysts whose research focus includes Vietnamese affairs and socio-economic development. Second, through the application of the market microstructure approach, the paper seeks a better understanding of the root-causes of the poor functioning of this particular forex market. Accordingly, the paper may also be of interest to researchers and policy analysts who are concerned with the workings of forex markets in general. The remainder of the paper is structured as follows. Section 2 provides some background...
