VADEMÉCUM 1 Ven conmigo VEN CONMIGO Número 4, Junio de 2010 El Diccionario de la Real Academia Española nos enseña que VADEMÉCUM proviene del latín vade, anda, ven, y mecum, conmigo. Se trata de un “Libro de poco volumen y de fácil manejo para consulta inmediata de nociones o informaciones fundamentales”. Al terminar el período académico, los profesores del Departamento de Ciencias Contables de la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Administrativas de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (sede Bogotá) queremos destacar algunos sucesos recientemente ocurridos, reuniéndolos en este modesto vademécum, con el ánimo de profundizar nuestra conciencia sobre el permanente cambio de las disciplinas que enseñamos y como un fuerte llamado a la actualización de los programas de las asignaturas de los cuales somos responsables. Los invitamos a venir con nosotros en nuestro esfuerzo de mantenernos al día.

The G20 finance ministers are meeting in Busan, Korea on 4-5 June 2010. In September 2009, the G20 Urged the IASB and FASB 'to redouble their efforts to achieve a single set of high quality, global accounting standards within the context of their independent standard setting process, and complete their convergence project by June 2011.' http://www.fasb.org/cs/ContentServer?c=Document_C&pagename=FASB%2FDocument_C%2FDoc umentPage&cid=1176156919347 Joint statement by the IASB and the FASB on their convergence work VADEMÉCUM 22 Ven conmigo The IASB and the FASB have announced their intention to prioritise the major convergence projects 'to permit a sharper focus on issues and projects that they believe will bring about significant improvement and convergence between IFRSs and US GAAP'.

The ED is part of the IASB’s plan to improve and simplify the accounting for financial instruments. Under the ED, an entity that has designated financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option would no longer present in profit or loss a (1) gain from a deterioration in the entity’s own credit risk or (2) loss from an improvement in the entity’s own credit risk. Instead, gains and losses arising from changes in the entity’s own credit risk would be presented in other comprehensive income. http://www.iasb.org/News/Press+Releases/financial+liabilities.htm IASB concludes the 2008-2010 cycle of annual improvements to IFRSs The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued Improvements to IFRSs - a collection of amendments to seven International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) - as its latest set of annual improvements.

In November 2009 the two boards, with the support of their respective Trustee bodies and the IASC Foundation Monitoring Board of public capital market authorities (a body that also includes the US public authority), demonstrated their shared commitment to convergence by establishing a comprehensive work plan to complete their joint programme by the June 2011 target. To accomplish that objective, the boards have accelerated and intensified their joint work and, instead of meeting jointly every four months, have held ten joint meetings totalling more than 100 hours of discussions since the agreement. http://www.iasb.org/News/Press+Releases/IASB+FASB+quarterly+report.htm VADEMÉCUM 23 Ven conmigo IASB seeks feedback on extractive activities discussion paper The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has published the results of an international research project on a possible future International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) for extractive activities in the form of a discussion paper – Extractive Activities. http://www.iasb.org/News/Press+Releases/extractive+activities+DP.htm Liabilities – comment deadline extended In its March Board meeting, the IASB decided to extend the comment period for the exposure draft Measurement of Liabilities in IAS 37 to 19 May 2010.

The amendment relieves first-time adopters of IFRSs from providing the additional disclosures introduced in March 2009 by Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 7).

(30 April 2010) The IFRS Taxonomy 2010 is a translation of IFRSs as issued at 1 January 2010 into XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language). XBRL is rapidly becoming the standard format for the electronic filing of financial information - particularly within jurisdictions reporting under IFRSs - because it facilitates simpler and faster filing and comparison of IFRS financial data by companies, regulators, investors, analysts and other users of financial information. http://www.iasb.org/News/XBRL/IASC+Foundation+releases+IFRS+Taxonomy+2010.htm IASC Foundation publishes second batch of training material for the IFRS for SMEs The International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) Foundation published today the second batch of training material for the International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-sized Entities (IFRS for SMEs).

En este trabajo se estima la probabilidad de incumplimiento de las empresas, sus determinantes y el nivel de riesgo crediticio corporativo agregado del sistema _nanciero.Se utiliza un modelo logit ordenado generalizado con variables explicativas que contienen informaci_on a nivel de _rmas y variables macroecon_omicas que no han sido utilizadas en otros trabajos para Colombia, de tal manera que se puedan capturar los efectos que tiene la din_amica de la econom__a sobre la probabilidad de default, diferenciando por las categor__as de riesgo asociadas a los cr_editos corporativos.

En la literatura se considera al riesgo de cr¶edito como una de las principales fuentes de vulnerabilidad para el sistema ¯nanciero, por lo que su correcta medici¶on resulta de vital importancia tanto para el sistema como para los agentes que hacen parte del mercado de crédito. Este documento tiene como objetivo identi¯car los determinantes del riesgo de crédito a través del estudio de la probabilidad de que una empresa incumpla con el pago de sus créditos. El análisis se realiza para el periodo comprendido entre 1998 y 2007. Siguiendo los hallazgos de la literatura relacionada con este tema, se emplea un modelo Probit Heterosced¶astico con efectos no lineales, el cual muestra que la rentabilidad, la liquidez y el endeudamiento son los principales determinantes de este incumplimiento. Adicionalmente, se utiliza un modelo de regresi¶on por cuantiles para identi¯car los efectos de los factores macroeconómicos sobre dicha probabilidad. Los resultados de este analisis indican que el impacto de estos factores var¶³an a lo largo de la distribución de default y que estos tienen un mayor efecto sobre los deudores m¶as riesgosos. Estos ejercicios se complementan con un análisis de sensibilidad, el cual evidencia la vulnerabilidad de los intermediarios de crédito ante cambios en el ritmo de crecimiento del la economía. http://www.banrep.gov.co/documentos/publicaciones/report_estab_finan/2010/Probabilidad_defau lt.pdf Covar como medida de riesgo de mercado sistémico, una aplicación para el caso colombiano. Marzo 2010. In Colombia, the exposition to market risk has increased signi¯cantly since 2009. Nonetheless, the risk codependence among agents has not been analyzed yet from the perspective of this risk. Therefore, this paper presents an approach to estimate such relevance based on CoV aR and quantile regressions. This methodology is °exible enough to allow the estimation of the systemic market risk contribution of banks, pension funds, and between di®erent types of ¯nancial institutions. Results suggest that risk codependence among entities increases during distress periods. http://www.banrep.gov.co/documentos/publicaciones/report_estab_finan/2010/AriasMendozaPerez 2010-CoVar.pdf VADEMÉCUM 42 Ven conmigo Informe sobre Inflación.

On May 10, the EU and the ECB adopted an ambitious package of policy measures, including creation of a European Financial Stabilization Mechanism and an ECB program to support securities markets and reactivate temporary liquidity swap lines with the U.S. Federal Reserve. In a press briefing in Washington, IMF First Deputy Managing Director John Lipsky said the EU measures would strengthen economic and financial stability in the eurozone, improve market functioning and, in turn, boost market confidence. Together with strong implementation by the euro area countries—notably in actions to put public finances on a sustainable path and carry out structural reforms to enhance competitiveness—they will help sustain the global recovery. http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/survey/so/2010/NEW051110A.htm VADEMÉCUM 44 Ven conmigo INTER-AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK Financial Integration and Foreign Banks in Latin America. This paper explores the impact of international financial integration on credit markets in Latin America, using a cross-country dataset covering 17 countries between 1996 and 2008. It is found that financial integration amplifies the impact of international financial shocks on aggregate credit and interest rate fluctuations. Nonetheless, the net impact of integration on deepening credit markets dominates for the large majority of states of nature. The paper also uses a detailed banklevel dataset that covers more than 500 banks for a similar time period to explore the role of financial integration—captured through the participation of foreign banks—in propagating external shocks. It is found that interest rates charged and loans supplied by foreign-owned banks respond more to external financial shocks than those supplied by domestically owned banks. This does not hold for all foreign banks. Spanish banks in the sample behave more like domestic banks and do not amplify the impact of foreign shocks on credit and interest rates. http://idbdocs.iadb.org/wsdocs/getdocument.aspx?docnum=35062209 IDB Inter- American Development Bank Working Papers Series External Capital Structures and Oil Price Volatility This paper assesses the extent to which a country’s external capital structure can aid in mitigating the macroeconomic impact of oil price shocks. Two Caribbean economies highly vulnerable to oil price shocks are considered: an oil importer (Jamaica) and an oil exporter (Trinidad and Tobago). From a risksharing perspective, a desirable external capital structure is one that, through international capital gains and losses, helps offset responses of the current account balance to external shocks. It is found that both countries could alter their international portfolio to provide a better buffer against such shocks.

MORGAN J.P. Morgan to invest in world’s first microinsurance fund Washington DC, May 6, 2010 – Today the world's first microinsurance fund, LeapFrog Investments, announced its final close on $137 million for investments in Africa and Asia - a record amount that makes LeapFrog the largest investor in microinsurance worldwide. The fund announced major new investors including J.P. Morgan, TIAA-CREF, and Proparco as well as the Waterloo Foundation and the ACE Group. "As leaders from around the world and across sectors gather here at IFC headquarters," said Andrew Kuper, President and Founder of LeapFrog, "we mark a historic moment: the birth of a new social-purpose asset class that will generate profits for investors while lifting tens of millions out of poverty". President Bill Clinton has hailed LeapFrog as "the Insurer to the Poor," and is among the many leaders who have recognized LeapFrog's profit-with-purpose approach as opening up new frontiers for microfinance and alternative investment. The fund's portfolio companies are anticipated to reach 25 million low-income and vulnerable people in Africa and Asia with lifechanging financial services. The companies may offer a range of affordable products including health and life insurance as well as low-income housing and weather index insurance. Safety nets of this kind can be critical to better coping with natural disasters that have afflicted countries such as Chile and Haiti. http://www.jpmorgan.com/cm/cs?pagename=JPM_redesign/JPM_Content_C/Generic_Detail_Page_ Template&cid=1273099229909&c=JPM_Content_C VADEMÉCUM 46 Ven conmigo INTERNACIONAL FONDO MONETARIO INTERNACIONAL The Potential Contribution of Fiscal Policy to Rebalancing and Growth in New Zealand. Simulations with the Fund’s GIMF model show that raising government savings in New Zealand permanently by 1 percent of GDP is likely to improve the current account balance by about ½ percent of GDP. The way government savings are achieved matters for GDP but little for the current account. However, results are sensitive to changes in the risk premium. Fiscally neutral changes in taxes and expenditures can raise output in the long run. Author/Editor: Schule, Werner Series: Working Paper No. 10/128 Date: May 1, 2010 Subject(s): New Zealand http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/cat/longres.cfm?sk=23890.0 Fiscal Stimulus and Credibility in Emerging Countries Across a sample of thirty four emerging countries, the evidence shows the frequent existence of a pro-cyclical fiscal impulse. However, the scope for countercyclical policy increases with the availability of international reserves as it enhances credibility and mitigates concerns about the effect of expansionary fiscal policy on the cost of borrowing and debt service. The paper also examines the effectiveness of the fiscal policy in emerging countries in the short- and long-run and its underlying conditions, which does not appear to be uniform. In some cases, contractionary fiscal policy could stimulate growth in the short-run, if fiscal tightness lowers the cost of borrowing and debt service, and mitigates concerns about debt sustainability. However, an increase in international reserves is evident to mitigate these concerns. On the other hand, high inflation increases concerns about the impact of fiscal spending on inflationary expectations and the cost of borrowing, countering the effectiveness of the fiscal stimulus on output growth in the short-run. Where the debt burden is high, fiscal expansion has a longlasting negative effect on real growth .

On average, a strengthening in the fiscal balance by 1 percentage point of GDP is associated with a current account improvement of 0.2–0.3 percentage point of GDP. This association is as strong in emerging and low-income countries as it is in advanced economies; and significantly higher when output is above potential . Author/Editor: Abbas, S. M.

We integrate the data from a number of existing tax and public expenditure studies for the countries in the region and find that the distributional effect of taxation is regressive but small. In contrast, the redistributive impact of social spending is large and progressive, leading to a progressive net redistributive effect in all countries of the region. We also show that raising tax revenues and devoting the proceeds to social spending would unambiguously improve the income of the poorest households.

Two salient features of our analysis are (1) a systematic test for the government’s ambivalent role as a shock absorber and a shock inducer—removing a downward bias present in existing estimates of the impact of automatic stabilizers—and (2) a broad sample of advanced and emerging market economies. Results provide strong support for the view that fiscal stabilization operates mainly through automatic stabilizers. Also, the destabilizing impact of policy changes not systematically related to the business cycle may not be as robust as suggested in the literature .

The indices allow for benchmarking against the performance of middle-income countries, across regions, and according to different institutional arrangements that deliver good fiscal performance. Using the constructed indices, the paper provides preliminary empirical support for the hypotheses that strong budget institutions help improve fiscal balances and public external debt outcomes; and countries with stronger fiscal institutions have better scope to conduct countercyclical policies.

We find a positive and significant relationship between these variables; results are consistent for quarterly and annual data, and across advanced and VADEMÉCUM 48 Ven conmigo developing economies. We also find that a worsening (improvement) in the VAT C-efficiency is driven by shifts in consumption patterns and changes in tax evasion during contractions (expansions). A key implication is that, particularly during major economic booms and downturns, policy makers should look beyond simple, long-run revenue elasticities and incorporate into their analysis the effects of the economic cycle on tax revenue efficiency.

JURISPRUDENCIA CONTABLE 16338-2009 "(...) si el respaldo probatorio de la contribuyente es su contabilidad, la misma debe cumplir los requisitos de suficiencia e idoneidad, por ello, es deber de los contribuyentes obligados a llevar contabilidad, poner a disposición de la Administración de Impuestos, cuando ésta lo requiera, los libros de contabilidad junto con los comprobantes de orden interno y externo que dieron origen a los registros contables, de tal forma que sea posible verificar la exactitud de los activos, pasivos, ingresos, costos, deducción y demás datos consignados en esos registros (...) 15311-2009 "(...) Pues bien, el crédito mercantil adquirido se conoce como prima de control, puesto que constituye un pago adicional al precio fijado para las acciones, como retribución por el control que se adquiere sobre una sociedad y que se determina por el reconocimiento de atributos especiales, como el buen nombre, personal idóneo, reputación de crédito privilegiado, prestigio por vender mejores productos y servicios y localización favorable. Tal erogación no hace parte del costo de las acciones (artículo 69 del Estatuto Tributario), sino de un intangible que como activo es distinto de las acciones que se adquieren. (...)" VADEMÉCUM 99 Ven conmigo 16485-2009 "(...) Según se ha considerado, tal prueba, que debe contener algún grado de detalle en cuanto a los libros, cuentas o asientos correspondientes a los hechos que pretenden demostrarse, no puede contener simples afirmaciones acerca de las operaciones contables de que dichos funcionarios dan cuenta, pues “en su calidad de profesional de las ciencias contables y responsable de la contabilidad o de la revisión y análisis de las operaciones de un ente social, está en capacidad de indicar los soportes, asientos y libros contables donde aparecen registrados las afirmaciones vertidas en sus certificaciones” . (...)" C-637-2009 "(...) cuando el legislador se refiere a la falsedad, a secas, incluye las dos modalidades en que la misma es posible, esto es, que el tipo penal demandado sí incluye el delito de falsedad ideológica en documento privado y, en modo alguno, incurre en omisión alguna. (...)" 17236-2009 Los grupos económicos no tienen la obligación de informar sus estados financieros a la DIAN 16379-2009 "(...) Para la Sala las razones expuestas por la DIAN no tienen fundamento jurídico, pues los artículos 1 y 4 del Decreto 2649 de 1993 en manera alguna ordenan que un comerciante deba mantener el mismo método de depreciación todo el año. Lo que prevén es que se respeten los principios generales de la contabilidad y que la misma debe ser confiable, comprensible y útil. Además, si bien las personas obligadas a llevar contabilidad deben hacerlo de acuerdo con los principios y criterios generales establecidos en el Decreto de la contabilidad, para la procedencia fiscal del gasto por depreciación, las normas tributarias no exigen que mensualmente las cuotas de depreciación sean uniformes y constantes." 17145-2009 CERTIFICADO DE REVISOR FISCAL - Pierde validez ante otras pruebas documentales desvirtuadas por la administración 17254-2009 (...) no podía invocarse la ocurrencia de una fuerza mayor que impidiera la exhibición de la contabilidad, porque cuando se profirió el requerimiento especial —8 de julio de 1996—, había trascurrido un lapso mayor de 11 meses desde la ocurrencia del incendio —16 de julio de 1995—, sin que la sociedad demandante hubiera reconstruido su contabilidad (...) C-788-2009 Las razones expuestas llevan a la Corte a concluir que la expresión “o de revisor fiscal, del artículo 48 de la Ley 43 de 1990, no desconocen los derechos al trabajo, a la libertad de escoger profesión u oficio, ni a la libertad de empresa, sino que por el contrario constituye una medida razonable y proporcionada para el ejercicio de los mismos. En consecuencia, se declarará su exequibilidad por los cargos analizados en esta sentencia 77301-2009 (...) En ese sentido, les asiste razón a los demandantes cuando arguyen que el Tribunal Administrativo del Tolima (Sala de Descongestión) restó valor probatorio a los documentos aportados y desconoció las disposiciones legales, pues las certificaciones del contador público dan cuenta de las utilidades reportadas por el establecimiento “Distribuciones El Cacique”, las cuales, naturalmente, dejaron de percibirse en razón del sellamiento ordenado en los decretos declarados nulos.

En ejercicio del derecho de habeas data no existe razón alguna para que la entidad financiera niegue al titular de un crédito la exhibición de los soportes que le permitan verificar, en caso de duda o discrepancia, la existencia, integridad, exigibilidad y condiciones de la obligación que se le imputa, pues sólo así se garantiza la posibilidad de comprobar la veracidad y actualidad del dato. (...) 16729-2010 "(...) los libros de contabilidad del contribuyente constituyen prueba suficiente a su favor, siempre que se lleven en debida forma, que estén registrados en la Cámara de Comercio o en la Administración de Impuestos Nacionales, según si el contribuyente está obligado o no a llevar contabilidad; que se encuentren respaldados por comprobantes internos y externos; que reflejen toda la situación de la entidad o persona natural; que no se hayan desvirtuado por los medios probatorios permitidos en la ley, y que el contribuyente no se encuentre en las circunstancias del artículo 74 del Código de Comercio (...)" 16886-2010 "(...) Para que estos certificados sean válidos como prueba contable, la Sala ha considerado que deben llevar al convencimiento del hecho que se pretende probar, sujetándose a las normas que regulan el valor probatorio de la contabilidad; deben expresar si la contabilidad se lleva de acuerdo con las prescripciones legales; si los libros se encuentran registrados en la Cámara de Comercio; si las operaciones están respaldadas por comprobantes internos y externos, y si reflejan la situación financiera del ente económico (...)"

By 2011, almost every country around the world could be using IFRS to some extent, including the United States. IFRS adoption will have the most significant impact on accounting and financial reporting functions, but it will also have an extended impact on other areas of an organization. With the type of changes IFRS adoption will require, there are also impacts across people, process and technology that will need to be factored into an organization’s conversion to IFRS. In this discussion, we will focus on the impact to technology. http://www.iasplus.com/usa/0808ifrstechnology.pdf XBRL INTERNACIONAL - Internacional Financial Accounting Foundation to Maintain XBRL Taxonomy for U.S. GAAP http://www.fasb.org/cs/ContentServer?c=FASBContent_C&pagename=FASB%2FFASBContent_C% 2FNewsPage&cid=1176156637595 XBRL international seeks broad input on discussion document http://www.xbrl.org/Announcements/2010TechDiscussion.htm CoreFiling supports the XBRL Consistency Suite VADEMÉCUM 110 Ven conmigo http://www.xbrl.org/Announcements/Touchstone%20ConsistencyChecks.htm Infine and Semansys partner on XBRL/SBR http://www.xbrl.org/Press%20Releases/2010/SAN%2002%2002%20EN-Infine.htm CASH and Semansys work together on XBRL http://www.xbrl.org/Press%20Releases/2010/SAN%2003%2002%20EN-Cash.htm OTROS Behavioral changes following the collaborative development of an accounting information system http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0361368209000658 Applying XBRL in an Accounting Information System Design Using the REA Approach: An Instructional Case* http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/123494392/abstract Usefulness of Accounting Information System in Emerging Economy: Empirical Evidence of Iran http://journal.ccsenet.org/index.php/ijef/article/view/5906 Conceptual Design of Accounting Information System at PT.
