- Abstract
- Academic and practicing accountants have concerned that financial statements have lost a
significant portion of their relevance to investors for valuation purposes. Blair and Wallman
(2001) show that, for the last ten years, the explanatory power of financial accounting
information for market equity values has decreased by at least 20%. My statistical tests
utilizing data from the Korea Stock Exchange also favor the similar claim.
In the meanwhile, many researchers (for example, Lev 2001) have addressed that it will be
hard to find ways of improving financial reporting without disclosing information about
unrecorded intangibles. This paper suggests standard-setters adopt the Balanced Scorecard
(henceforth BSC) performance reporting as an alternative of current financial reporting. The
BSC, as Kaplan and Norton (1992) has advocated, complements financial measures of past
performance with measures of three drivers of future performance— customer, internal
business process, and learning and growth, which provide valuable information about the
unrecorded intangibles.
As a performance reporting system, the BSC may lead to confusion, conflict, and lack of
focus because of non-existence of a clear linkage between unrecorded intangibles and
expected future performance. However, even a verbal explanation about what the business has accomplished in improving its key success factors would be a great role of
complementing the traditional financial statements.
