26325: Advanced Financial Reporting & Theory13/14 Session, Semester 1

Basic Information

Module Level Level 6Nature of Study Taught ModuleCredits 20European Credit Transfer Scheme 10Probable Attendance 220Location Hull CampusThis module is not available as a Free ElectiveThis module is not available as a postgraduate training moduleThis module is available to Exchange students

Module Rationale

This module enables the BSc Accounting degree to maintain accreditation with some of the professional accounting bodies. The module will allow studentsto continue their financial reporting studies as well as enhance their understanding of theoretical issues which underpin the subject. The rationale behind therevised unit is to build on all the core financial accounting modules studied so far on the BSc Accounting degree. Students have studied the preparation ofbasic and intermediate level financial statements and how accounting standards impact upon them. In this module they will examine the theoreticalunderpinnings and wider theoretical issues, balanced with further consideration of current issues in financial reporting. The aim is to allow furtherdevelopment of both understanding and technical skills.

Aims and Distinctive Features

The aim of this module is to examine both the theoretical basis and content of financial accounting systems. These provide financial information forcommunication to users external to the organisation. In order to look beyond the actual content of reported financial information to its meaning in terms ofunderlying resources, it is necessary to examine the theoretical bases of alternative measurements of income and capital, alternative ways of seeing financialreporting, empirical studies of the impact of financial information upon users, as well as the content and construction of the financial report itself.

The course includes an analysis of the development of corporate financial reporting as a channel of financial information, before moving to a detailedconsideration of the theory which underlies it. In particular the problems of alternative valuation models will be examined and the choices which exist in thefield of income and capital measurement peculiar to different types of organisation. More complex financial relationships are examined, together with theproblems associated with reporting by varying types of business combinations and the problems inherent in reporting of merger and acquisition activity. Themodule also shows that there are alternative ways of seeing financial reporting and how empirical studies of the impact of financial information upon usersmight be undertaken.

The course includes an analysis of selected financial reports designed to focus the knowledge gained by a student onto vocational relevance by providing acomparison between theoretical bases of income and value measurement, and empirical evidence.

Current issues in financial reporting will be explored, and students will be given the opportunity to research topical issues using a variety of researchmaterials.

Learning Outcomes

The module has the following Learning Outcomes:

1. : Critically assess the theoretical basis and content of financial accounting systems which provide the financial information for communication to users

2: Critically assess the ability to research current issues in financial reporting and to comment critically on their impact on the regulatory frameworkwithin the UK

3: Apply theoretical bases studied to complex business structures and the production of appropriate financial reports, and to evaluate critically thecontent and construction of these financial reports.

4: Critically assess the meaning and relevance of accounting information using illustrations of financial reporting and be able to interpret these (e.g.select pertinent information, analyse problems and formulate solutions).

56369: International Banking13/14 Session, Semester 2

Basic Information

Module Level Level 7Nature of Study Taught ModuleCredits 10European Credit Transfer Scheme 5Probable Attendance 30Location Hull CampusThis module is not available as a Free ElectiveThis module is not available as a postgraduate training moduleThis module is available to Exchange students

Module Rationale

In the wake of the largest economic crisis in recent times many causes have been proposed for the turmoil. At the centre of the argument is banks' excessiverisk-taking behaviour, especially through abundant lending, over-leveraging and dramatic expansion in the usage of credit transfer products in the yearsleading up to the crisis. On the policy side incompetence of regulators overseeing the banking system is voiced. Therefore, understanding the bankingbusiness and regulation from an international perspective is of paramont importance to prevent future economic crises that may be caused by banks. Themodule examines the different types of banks, their financial features and risk in banking. It introduces several international banking activities that linknational financial markets globally. Particular focus is placed in the importance of regulation from an international perspective through Basel accords.

Aims and Distinctive Features

The aim of the module is two fold. Firstly, it aims to provide students with an insight into the major features and origins of the international bankingbusiness and to provide a framework for the understanding of the different types of banks (i.e. retail banks, investment banks and private banks) andbanking activities (i.e. relationship lending, transactional lending, syndicated leanding and securitisation). Secondly, the module aims to provide studentswith an understanding of why banks are inherently vulnerable to crisis, and analyses the role of policy makers and natioanal and international regulatoryinstitutions. A distinctive feature of the module is to integrate the two main topics through studying and analysing events prior to, during and after the2007/2008 global bankig crisis. Throughout the module participants will be encouraged to develop critical views on issues presented in this module. Wherepossible, lecture materials and discussions will attempt to resort to the most up to date information and examples and most of the reading material will bebased on academic literature in the banking area.

Learning Outcomes

The module has the following Learning Outcomes:

1: Critically evaluate the financial condition of a bank through analysing its financial statements.

2: Demonstrate depth of awareness and understanding of the international banking environment and operations of banks from a global perspective.

3: Demonstrate depth of awareness and understanding of the role, function and consequences of regulation and lack of regulation.

4: Demonstrate understanding of the dynamic nature of inter-relationships between bank risk taking and regulation in the context of 2007/2008 globalfinancial crisis.

Learning and Teaching Strategies

The following learning and teaching strategies are used within this module:

The module will be in the form of interactive lectures and seminars. It is planned that there will be a one hour lecture and one-hour tutorial for each week.Student learning will be supported by offering tutorial exercises in the seminars, which will act as the formative assessment for the module.

Assessment Strategies

The following assessment strategies are used within this module:

2 hour closed examination (60%). One piece of individual assignment of 1,500 words approx (40%)
