Recent Corporate Disasters and Accounting Risk: User Perspective on Identifying Manipulation and Aggressive Accounting Seminar Friday 29th November 2002 Recent corporate scandals have raised grave questions about the financial governance mechanisms that are at the heart of properly functioning capital markets. They have also raised serious concerns about accounting as firms have revealed systematic and large-scale misaccounting. The market response to these events suggests that users of financial statements now perceive that there has been a systemic increase in ‘accounting risk'. London Business School is hosting a one-day seminar on 29th November aimed at users of financial statements, to help them assess and deal with accounting risk in the wake of recent events. We have asked leading experts in the field to examine recent experience and to identify which parts of the accounting model are at risk. They will assess the view that ‘it can't happen here' and whether the events were isolated or the risk is indeed systemic. They will seek to develop forensic tools that users of financial statements can apply going forward to help identify those companies at risk. Speakers We have assembled a panel of world-class experts to address these issues. The speakers are drawn internationally, and include leading academics and representatives from the major accounting firms and from the investment community. Who should attend? The seminar will be of practical benefit to all those who use financial statements professionally. These include fund managers, equity and credit analysts, investment bankers and consultants. The seminar should also be valuable to corporations and their advisers, who need to understand the environment in which they are reporting.

Since then, research into asset pricing and derivative valuation has been influenced by a couple of dozen major contributions published during the twentieth century. These seminal works have underpinned the key ideas of mean-variance optimisation, equilibrium analysis and no-arbitrage arguments. This paper presents a historical review of these important contributions to finance. ---------------- Please add me to your client list-"pearlies premium stock market analysis" I'm trying my damnednesses to get this!<g>
