The Evaluation Of Financial Risk Profile Of The Companies And The Mandatory Disclosure On Liquidity And Credit Risk

THE EVALUATION OF FINANCIAL RISK PROFILE OF THE COMPANIES AND THE MANDATORY DISCLOSURE ON LIQUIDITY AND CREDIT RISK is a work born from a careful study of the evolution of the Italian and European legislation on the subject of financial risk communication and in particular of IFRS 7, Finacial Instruments: Disclosure. Thanks to this international accounting standard, Italian listed companies have included a greater number of disclosures on financial risks in their financial statements, but while there is no doubt the quantitative increase in information, the qualitative value of this communication is doubtful. In this regard, the study analyzes the usefulness of the disclosure introduced by IFRS 7 for financial analysts. The choice of analysts is a natural choice due to the importance they hold as intermediaries in the communication channel between companies and the market.

With the arrival of the pandemic, digitalisation underwent a strong increase which led to an acceleration of technological evolution. Companies working in the financial markets have also adopted new technologies, among which particular note deserves artificial intelligence which processes enormous quantities of data in a very short time with various methodologies, including neural networks and machine learning. These new technologies allow in particular the detection of anomalous data. These models finally applied to new data predict what will happen with high accuracy, leading users to make informed choices, but based on completely automated predictive models. This represents the future which, through Artificial Intelligence, Chatbots and Expert Advisors, will revolutionize the financial markets, supported by adequate regulation. In this study we try to take stock of the current situation and some predictions for the future.

These short stories were inspired by the period that has just passed and continues to this day. Some of the six short stories contained in this collection are full of hope for the future while others analyze reality with the eyes of the imagination that all writers are lucky enough to have. Obviously all references to facts and people are random since they originate from the author's imagination.

This book focuses on the impact of the disclosure of non-financial risk, which could be seen as the most relevant non-financial information (NFI), in the aftermath of the 2014/95/EU Directive. The author analyses whether the switch from voluntary to mandatory NFI enhance the quality of disclosed NF risk-related information and the usefulness of the risk disclosure for investors. The book focuses specifically on the mandatory disclosure of non-financial (NF) risks as required by the EU Directive for listed Italian companies, investigating both the state of art of its disclosure and its usefulness for investors. In doing so, the book contributes to fill two relevant gaps in risk literature. The first research gap is related to the insufficient investigation of the disclosure of NF risks. Companies mandated to disclose risk-related information focused mainly on financial risks, in spite of the width of the definition of risk, conceived as information about any opportunity, danger, threat, or exposure that has or could impact the company in the future. The second gap is that empirical evidence about the effects of corporate risk disclosures is still limited, and the potential benefits of the disclosure of information on risks have not been fully explored. In particular, the relationship between risk disclosures and firm value is under researched, as the risk literature mainly focuses on the incentives question, related to the motives for which companies decide to disclose. The research in this book focuses on Italy, a country that provides a unique opportunity to examine the impact of mandatory NF risk disclosure on firm market value, being one of the biggest industrial European countries that had not mandatory legislation for NFI disclosure, and also one of the leading countries in voluntary corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting at an international level. It has been carried out in the fiscal year 2017, the first year of the application of the mandatory NF disclosure for obliged Italian listed PIEs. The book contributes both to the measurement literature, as it presents a self-constructed quality NF risks and to the value relevance analysis literature, providing evidence of the usefulness of financial and non-financial risk-related disclosures in the Italian context.
