- W8552816 abstract "EXECUTIVE SUMMARY * AS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ISSUES TAKE ON INCREASED importance in the value of a stock, CPAs should take the opportunity to get ahead of the curve and help clients monitor such issues. There is general agreement that the quality of governance and the effectiveness of a board of directors are critical to a company's success. * CPAs SEARCHING FOR STOCKS OF COMPANIES WITH GOOD governance practices to recommend to clients can focus on factors such an absence of accounting problems, employee stock option and executive compensation plans that are in the best interests of shareholders, a board of directors that isn't dominated by shareholders with large blocks of stock and ensuring that management is pursuing a sound business strategy. * UNTIL INFORMATION ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE practices of companies becomes easily available, CPAs will rely on individual and mutual fund managers to monitor these issues only after carefully screening the managers themselves. To help do this CPAs should select only managers who have established reputations for integrity and ethical * SOME CPAs ARE SKEPTICAL ABOUT THE INFORMATION provided by governance rating services such Moody's or Governance Metrics International. To be effective, rating systems have to know what investors absolutely can't live without--full disclosure, director independence and a sound business strategy. With the debris of bad governance still falling from the sky--more than a year after the first major blasts erupted--it would be reasonable to expect questions about related guidelines and policies to be forming on every investor's lips. But that's not what CPA investment advisers are finding in the field. Most clients haven't started to ask yet. In the meantime reactionary trends are taking hold that practitioners need to consider and apply in their work. This article explains how some advisers have begun to work governance issues into investment decisions. And with others expected to follow the trend clients begin to understand these complicated issues better, company ethics will become a important criterion in choosing investments than ever before. Here's how CPAs can be ahead of the curve on a developing trend and keep themselves and their clients well informed. DOES GOOD GOVERNANCE MATTER? If investors and the CPAs who advise them learned anything from Enron, WorldCom and other companies whose problems came to light during the past few years, it's that the quality of governance and the effectiveness of the board of directors are critical to an organization's success. Yet most of those who agree good governance is important to a company's success probably are not yet using it an investment-screening tool. With the ink on the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and related SEC rules to implement it, just beginning to dry, most investment advisers are beginning to give substantive thought to the consequences of good or bad governance on a stock's investment prospects. Sheryl Rowling, CPA/PFS, of Rowling Dold & Associates in San Diego and a member of the AICPA PFP executive committee, says right now her clients are more concerned about the overall integrity of the market than they are with an individual company's financial statements. The interest in governance behavior hasn't yet filtered down to my investors, who are, Rowling says, mostly affluent professionals. She believes this attitude will change, as companies are charged with fraudulent practices. Rowling says last fall's mutual fund scandal was of particular concern to her clients because most of their portfolios included mutual funds opposed to individual stocks. She emphasizes that corporate governance and the integrity of financial information are critical considerations when making investment decisions. …" @default.
