Full textIn this study, we investigate the accuracy of stock analyst estimates. We measure forecasting accuracy by forecasting error for key financial figures from the firm’s income statements. This study also measures firm specific factors effect on analyst forecasting accuracy. Our study includes 93 companies listed on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm Large Cap between the years 2000 – 2017. Our findings conclude that a positive correlation exists between market value and forecasting accuracy for smaller firms. We also find that analyst coverage is positively related to forecasting accuracy. Our findings also show that forecasting accuracy varies with analyst coverage within different sectors.

Full textTitle: Sustainability information in the CEO letter- A quantitative study of companies at OMX Stockholm Large CapAuthors: Magnus Olsson and Karl AmbrosiussonBackground: The CEO letter is a voluntary section in the annual report where the management together with the CEO have the opportunity to express themselves about the past year and future expectations. The CEO letter is one of the most read parts in the annual report. This essay focuses on to what extent the CEO letter presents sustainability information. A Sustainability report has been a requirement for bigger companies since 2016 and the annual reports of 2017 are the first reports that have to contain a sustainability report.Purpose: The purpose of this essay is to find out if the new sustainability reporting requirements has affected the extent of sustainability information presented in the CEO letter. The purpose is further to explain whether the size of the company is a factor that affects the amount of sustainability information presented in the CEO letter.Method: Quantitative content analysis has been applied to measure the extent to which sustainability information is used in the CEO letter. It’s used by counting the frequency of concepts associated with sustainability.Conclusion: The result shows that the amount of sustainability information in the CEO letter has increased between 2016 and 2017, but that the change in the law did not have any additional impact on the amount of sustainability information. The result also shows that size of the companies doesn’t affect the amount of sustainability information in the CEO letter for the investigated companies.

Full textBackground: The rising popularity of ESG investing has provided for an interesting deliberation whether the ratio influences stock returns or not. There are those who assert that emphasizing upon ESG yields higher stock returns for investors. Hence, reiterating that investors can contribute to a sustainable future without interfering with desired capital gains. However, there is research that indicates that the incorporation of ESG impedes potential stock returns. Furthermore, previous studies have indicated that there is a potential disparity between sectors of the market, meaning that ESG might have a varied effect. The topic is henceforth of interest due to the contradicting results regarding the effects of ESG on stock returns. Aim: This study aims to analyze and clarify whether ESG-score is a determining factor in the return of stocks listed on OMX Stockholm Large Cap during the time period 2011-2019. The report will also investigate if there is a difference in its possible impact acrossvarious industries. Methodology: The study has utilized a deductive and quantitative approach to effectuate the aim of the report. Furthermore, the report has used a balanced panel data with a short panel. Results: The results of the report emphasize that the ESG-score has a negligible effect on stock returns across all industries. However, the coefficients for the ESG-score are statistically insignificant, which means that no conclusion can be established regarding its effect on the selection of stocks listed on OMX Stockholm Large Cap. Nonetheless, there is previous research that supports the findings of the report.

Full textPurpose: According to research done in pension accounting, there is a connection between pension accounting methods and volatility in shareholders equity. Amir claims that full recognition of actuarial gains and losses in the balance sheet creates volatility in shareholders equity. The aim of the paper is to examine whether this connection between pension accounting and volatility can be confirmed among companies in Nasdaq OMX Nordic, Stockholm. Method: The volatility in Shareholders Equity is examined by researching the annual reports of the companies. Throughout the study, the statistics program SPSS is used. Analysis: Companies that use full recognition of actuarial gains and losses in the balance sheet are compared to firms that use other pension accounting methods. The level of volatility in shareholders equity among firms that use full recognition of actuarial gains and losses are compared to firms that use other pension accounting methods. The aim is to examine whether companies that use full recognition of actuarial gains and losses show more volatility in share holders equity. Conclusion: According to our study, there is no relationship between pension accounting methods and volatility in shareholders equity. Companies in Nasdaq OMX Nordic Stockholm that recognize actuarial gains and losses directly to the comprehensive income in shareholders equity and debts does not show more volatility in shareholders equity than firms that use other pension accounting methods.

Full textIntroduction: Previous research has shown that the board of directors has an impact on the companies CSR-reporting, since the directors are a part of developing the company's CSR- strategies. This research, however, has proven to be limited to investigate only a few character traits of the board of directors, which justifies a survey of the board's characteristics and its impact on companies' CSR-reporting. Problem: Which character traits of the board and board members affect the company's CSR- reporting? Purpose: The purpose of the study is to identify the characteristics of the board and board members that affect the company's CSR-reporting. Method: The study adopts a deductive approach and the hypotheses are therefore based on existing studies and theories. The hypotheses that have been tested in this study are based on quantitative cross sectional data. The sample for this study is based on 109 companies listed on the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm (large and mid cap) in 2013. The data collected originates primarily from companies' annual reports and websites. Results: The results of this study show that those directors: with legal educations, that are independent, employee representatives have positive effects on companies’ CSR-reporting. The same applies to the size of the board and the age of the Chairman. These results are different from when family owners are members of the board, which has a negative impact on companies' CSR-reporting. The study also shows that the structural characteristics of the board have the greatest impact on companies' CSR-reporting, which, for example, indicates that the interests that the members represent have an impact on the board’s activities. We also compared companies listed on large and mid cap to see if there was any difference between the two. The test’s showed that several demographic characteristics had a significant impact in the smaller companies, but not in the larger companies. This indicates that the mentality of CSR-reporting that these traits previously assumed to contribute with, to some extent has become institutionalized in larger companies. Another result this study demonstrated was that future research regarding this relationship should not only limit itself to one theory.

Full textThe Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) and International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) have jointly developed a new accounting standard for leases. The main objective is to harmonize accounting across international borders with a common new lease standard and to ameliorate financial reporting for users of financial reports. Furthermore, researchers have discovered that the new lease standard has a significant impact on firms accounting and key financial ratios. Meanwhile, there is barley any studies in the field which examines how Swedish Large Cap firms chooses to prepare their investors with substantial disclosures on the new lease standard. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to describe how Swedish Large Cap firms chooses to prepare their investors with substantial disclosures on the new lease standard in their financial reports. Authors of this study also seek to explain how firms lease intensity, number of analyst followers and their choice of transition approach have an impact on firm’s preparatory disclosures. To satisfy the purpose, the authors of this study choose to deploy agency theory and voluntary disclosure theory in order to analyse and explain how firms choose to prepare their investors with IFRS 16 disclosures. Firms disclosures in their interim report for the fourth quarter 2018 and annual report 2018 were quantified with a discrete variable. Furthermore, it appears that Swedish firms on Large Cap prepare their investors with more extensively disclosures in their annual reports compared to their interim reports. Firms assesses that qualitative disclosures are of more material value to investors than quantitative disclosures. One explanatory factor may be that qualitative disclosures provide investors with better understanding of the new lease standard. Moreover, the study fails to explain the relationship between firms lease intensity, number of analyst followers, and firm’s choice of transition approach with the firm’s preparatory disclosures. One interpretation is that firms with high lease intensity do not assess the impact of the new lease standard to be of more material value for investors decisions than firms with low lease intensity. Since the study fails to explain the relationship between number of analyst followers and firm’s preparatory disclosures, a reasonable interpretation is that firms do not benefit from disclosing information about the new lease standard since the information might result in negative market reactions. Meanwhile, this study also provides evidence that a significant proportion of firms on Large Cap chooses the modified retrospective approach in favour of the full retrospective approach to adopt IFRS 16. Although, there is not enough strong evidence to support the hypothesis that Swedish firms which adopt the full retrospective approach prepare their investors with more extensively disclosures than firms which adopt the modified retrospective approach.

Full textBackground: Requirements for increased information and transparency in annual reports has in recent years been a debated topic. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has been a discussed standard in response to the amount of disclosure requirements it contains. IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures is one standard included in IFRS which since year 2007 requires listed companies to report their management of financial instruments and thereby increase the transparency. IFRS 7 was standardized in the year 2007 for companies that prepare consolidated financial statements. Due to the increased demands placed on listed companies this study wants to see how the companies have adapted and changed their accounting in accordance with the standard. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze public companies listed on OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm Large Cap and their accounting in accordance with IFRS 7 in order to see if any changes are made in the amount of information provided in the financial statements for the year 2010 compared to 2007. Methodology: The quantitative method has been used to conduct this study and the positivistic objective has been in focus. The study sample included 37 companies and a total of 74 annual reports. The following parts were selected from IFRS 7 and examined in the annual reports: Paragraph 8 Balance sheet, Paragraph 20 Income statement and equity, Paragraph 33 Qualitative disclosures, Paragraph 36-37 Credit risk, Paragraph 39 Liquidity risk and Paragraph 40-42 Market risk. The information collected from the annual reports have been put in to a coding system created in SPSS and then analyzed. Conclusion: Since the standardization of IFRS 7 in year 2007 there has been a change in the way listed companies account in accordance with the examined parts. The amount of words related to the examined parts in the annual reports of year 2010 has increased compared to the amount of words disclosed in year 2007. The study also shows that more of the examined parts are accounted for. Several of the investigated companies have also made changes regarding the placement and the presentation of the information. Change of headline and removal of information also occurred. Additionally some companies added new information

Full textThis paper examines whether the phenomena of price drift around quarterly earnings re-leases exist among firms listed on the large cap. list at the Stockholm Stock Exchange for a time period ranging from the first quarter of 2003 to the second quarter of 2006. It fur-thermore examines the ability of the variables forecast error, relative to analyst’s estimates, and firms’ size to explain the variation in price drift among firms.
A sample of some 30 firms were drawn in the first three quarters of each year between 2003 and 2005, for the year of 2006 only the fist two quarters were included in the study. For each quarter all firms were classified into three different portfolios on the basis of earnings deviations relative to mean analyst’s estimates (forecast error). The returns for each firm in all portfolios were investigated during 20 days post- and pre quarterly earnings release date, resulting in an event window totaling 41 days. In order to clear out effects from general market movements the Capital Asset Pricing Model, CAPM, was used in which betas were estimated for all firms each quarter.
The findings from this study indicate that price drift, measured by cumulative abnormal re-turn, occur for firms with both negative forecast error as well as positive. For firms with positive error, statistically significant positive price drift was found for both the pre- and post period. As for the firms with earnings below analyst’s mean estimates, negative prean-nouncement drift was statistically supported.
The ability of firms size and forecast error to explain the variation in price drift on a stock level was very weak, R2 measures of below 5% was reported. However, forecast error was a strongly significant independent variable in the context of the regressions run for both pre- and post-announcement drift. The firms below the lower market cap. quartile in the sample show, on average, lower pre-announcement drift than the firms belonging in the largest quartile.
Concerning market efficiency among the large cap. firms the price drift found is an indica-tion of market inefficiency both it terms of the semi strong and the strong form. However, care should be taken before generalizing the results from this study but. Possible misspeci-fication of the equilibrium return model will skew the price drift measurement. Moreover, speculation is not explicitly controlled for in this test. Finally, this study is done within a li-mited time span; hence generalization over time is not possible

Full textOptionsprogram har varit ett vanligt medel för att rekrytera, motivera och behålla kompetent personal. De senaste åren har dock ersättningssystemen blivit mer komplexa och ju mer börsen går upp desto fler aktierelaterade ersättningsprogram dyker upp i företagen. I takt med att antalet optionsprogram ökar blir det även allt viktigare att företagen ger tillräcklig information gällande dessa i årsredovisningarna. I februari 2004 gav IASB ut standarden IFRS 2 som reglerar aktierelaterad ersättning. Denna började användas av börsnoterade företag i Sverige under 2005 och innebär kostnadsredovisning av aktierelaterade ersättningar, men även att företagen måste ge vissa upplysningar som ska underlätta för läsarna av de finansiella rapporterna att förstå optionsprogrammen.
Vi ville med denna uppsats ta reda på vilka upplysningar som företagen på Stockholm Large Cap listan skall redovisa för de aktierelaterade ersättningsprogrammen enligt IFRS 2 samt undersöka hur de följer dessa regler. För att göra detta har vi använt oss av skriftliga källor, främst i form av IFRS 2 och en analys av företagens årsredovisningar från år 2005 (alternativt 2004/2005). Analysen av årsredovisningarna gjordes utifrån ett antal punkter som vi ställt upp med utgångspunkt i upplysningskraven och Bilaga B i IFRS 2. Vi kompletterade sedan detta med en telefonintervju med en revisor från ett av Sveriges största revisionsbolag.
Efter att ha genomfört vår analys kom vi fram till att företagen i allmänhet är dåliga på att redovisa enligt IFRS 2. Något som känns oroande är att företagen har betydligt lägre poäng på de mer djupgående frågorna. Sämst är företagen på att ange vilka indata som har använts vid uträknandet av det verkliga värdet och bäst är de på att ange kostnaderna och beskriva sina program. Majoriteten av företagen säger dock att de använder Black-Scholes-modellen, detta trots att denna enligt IFRS 2:s Bilaga B sällan är lämplig vid värdering av optioner till anställda. Det verkar även finnas en ovilja att redovisa enligt IFRS 2, både i form av att företag väljer att inte följa standarden och genom att många företag undviker att direkt nämna IFRS 2 vid namn, trots att de tydligt nämner de andra standarderna. Slutligen kan man konstatera att det behövs en standardisering av informationen som skall ges. I nuläget ger företagen olika mängder information till olika kvalitet. Dessutom är informationen spridd i årsredovisningens noter och ibland även utanför. Detta bidrar till att det uppstår svårigheter för läsarna av årsredovisningarna att följa hur företagen har redovisat samt att jämföra olika företag.

Full textIntegrated reporting (IR) is spreading in the accounting world and according to proponents the model should give a transparent picture of how the companies are linking financial and non-financial disclosures. Through postulates from stakeholder- and legitimacy theory this study aims to demonstrate which factors (size, debt ratio, ownership concentration and industry) that may affect the choice of applying IR principles. Furthermore, the study also examines whether the amount of integrated information really differs between companies who allege to apply IR and others. Focus lays on social- and environmental information. The empirical data is essentially generated by a quantitative content analysis of 67 annual reports from companies listed on Nasdaq OMX Large Cap. Regression analysis and Mann-Whitney tests were used to analyze the collected empirical data. The statistical tests show that size and industry has significant effect on the amount of integrated information within the annual reports. Debt ratio and ownership concentration however, showed no relationship which leads to the conclusion that financial stakeholders is not pressuring the companies towards IR principles. Significant differences between the annual reports claimed to be integrated and other annual reports where observed. This finding could be interpreted as companies that apply IR also have a stronger devotion to sustainability issues. Future research is suggested to be conducted from a user perspective. The supply of this type of studies is poor but crucial for continued development of IR.

Full textI den här studien undersöks hur aktieinnehav hos ledning och den verkställande direktören i ett företag påverkar företagsutvecklingen. Studien genomförs med regressionsanalys på paneldata som består av 30 företag, samtliga noterade på OMX Stockholm Mid Cap. Totalt samlas 210 och 2520 observationer på årsbasis respektive månadsbasis över sju år (2010-2016). Hausman-testet används för att bestämma vilken av fixed effects-modellen och random effects-modellen som ska användas i regressionen. Resultaten visar att relativt aktieinnehav hos ledningen har en positiv signifikant påverkan på ett företags nettoinkomstutveckling och avkastning på tillgångar. Den verkställande direktörens aktieinnehav visas inte vara signifikant, vilket är motsatt till det som generellt har visats för stora företag i tidigare forskning. Regressionerna genomförs även med alternativa metoder, vilka det resoneras kring i en diskussion som bör vara till gagn för vidare forskning. Författarna illustrerar hur val av dummy-variabler kan ha en avgörande betydelse för regressionsanalysen, och att det således är en viktig aspekt att ta hänsyn till när regressioner genomförs på paneldata.

Full textIn society today large corporations are striving to regain the trust, which has been lost dur-ing the many accounting scandals that occurred lately. As a response to minimize the con-flicts countries have introduced codes of corporate governance. It is common knowledge that a company’s stakeholders and shareholders have different knowledge and interest in the company and the annual report is the agent’s main communication channel towards the principals. The Swedish code of corporate governance was implemented in July 2005 in an attempt to reduce the information gap between the managers of the company and the own-ers.
The purpose of this thesis is to examine if and how the Swedish code of corporate govern-ance has affected the content in annual reports in Sweden. We will evaluate and explain why listed companies have changed the information provided in their annual reports from the year 2001 prior to the codes existence, during the code’s implementation in year 2005, and after the implementation in 2006.
A deductive method created our research model, which was used as a tool to gather the empirical findings. Agency Theory, Institutional Theory and the Swedish code constitute the foundation for our evaluation of 65 companies’ annual reports from three individual years. Once our research model was created, an explorative and inductive method was used analyse and interpret the empirical findings.
Our conclusion is that corporate governance information in annual reports has increased, and the implementation of the Swedish code of corporate governance has affected the in-formation provided to the shareholders. Between 2001 and 2005 a rapid growth in infor-mation can be view, while only minor improvement can be found between 2005 and 2006. The Swedish code has been successful in its implementation as stakeholders and share-holders have received more information from the annual reports. However, we are ques-tioning the Swedish code for its extensive dimensions. Some areas of the Swedish code are provided with sufficient guidelines, while others would bring with it improved information to the shareholders by more detailed instructions. Many of the investigated companies have had their corporate governance information reviewed by an external auditor in 2005 and it is unexpected to see that this has been excluded in 2006. The examined companies provide information regarding many of the Swedish code’s rules, but we found the information re-lated to internal control, managing director and attendance at the general meeting insuffi-cient.
