Change to the definition of control in IFRS 10
$25.00by Fiverr TutorsResearch Case: Control under IFRS 10
Change to the definition of control in IFRS 10
In May 2011, the International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB) issued IFRS 10
Consolidated Financial Statements, which becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2013. The change to the definition of control in IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements [“IFRS 10”] is expected to have a significant effect on the investment management industry. Investment managers will have to apply the more comprehensive guidance in IFRS 10 when determining whether they control the entities they are involved with and consequently, whether they will need to consolidate those entities in their own financial statements. The main change introduced by IFRS 10 compared with the existing consolidation requirements is a greater focus on which investor has power over an investee’s activities rather than who has the majority of the voting rights.
Required:
Write between 1000-1500 words on the main aspect of this standard regarding the definition of control and on the main challenges that may face the application of the directives of this standard.

Purchasing Power Parity Paper

Economic Review, 67 (5), 942-948).
Discuss and critically evaluate this statement with reference to the theory and empirical evidence relating to the law of one price (LoP) and the theory of purchasing power parity (PPP).Please use headings
Double spacing Font size 12
use more scientific/ academic journals rather than internet sites. something around 18-20 academic journals requiredtalk about LoP and PPP but you dont have to devote equal space to LoP and PPP. The LoP is more of a starting point, and you should spend more time on PPP.9 Pages by Blazzie -

Assignment Overview
American Superconductor
As you know from reading through the background materials, the decision to use debt or equity to raise money is not a decision taken lightly by management. So when several years ago, in 2003 American Superconductor decided to raise funds through equity it was definitely a major decision that required intense discussions at the highest levels of management.

Explain both of your answers thoroughly. Be sure to support your opinions on these assignment questions with references to the background materials or to other articles in your paper.
Read the article below available in ProQuest:
American Superconductor switch ; Westboro company plans to raise money through a stock offering, Andi Esposito. Telegram & Gazette. Worcester, Mass.: Aug 26, 2003. pg. E.1
Abstract (Article Summary)
“AMSC’s management and board of directors believe the decision to forgo a secured debt financing and to adopt an equity financing strategy under current market conditions is in the best interests of our shareholders,” said Gregory J. Yurek, chief executive officer of AMSC. The 265-employee company has operations in Westboro and Devens and in Wisconsin.
Finally, the Northeast blackout “shined a lot of light on the problems we have been talking about as a company for three to four years,” Mr. Yurek said. AMSC products, such as a system installed this year in the aging Connecticut grid and high temperature superconductor power cables and other devices bought by China for its grid, are designed to improve the cost, efficiency and reliability of systems that generate, deliver and use electric power. “We are a company with products out there solving problems today,” he said.
