| Research Abstract |
This research modeled the element of cycle in the events theory, and examined its implications for financial reporting.As a result
Takeshima and Sorter (2009) derived four cycle concepts:the cash, investing, financing, and earnings cycles.
This research presented that conventional financial statements classify and report events quantified in terms of past, present, and highly certain future cash flows in line with these four cycle concepts.
It pointed out that risks and other predictive data can be disclosed in a separate report outside the current financial statements through various quantitative and/or qualitative methods. It also suggested that the events cycle model could be a useful conceptual tool to examine contemporary accounting issues, such as fair value measurement.
