ISDA: Accounting For Cross-Product Netting
In February 2022, ISDA published the 2022 ISDA Securities Financing Transactions Definitions and related documents. The launch followed an ISDA whitepaper in October 2020 that highlighted significant opportunities for alignment between derivatives and securities financing transactions (SFTs). These documents allow parties to document stock loans, repurchase transactions and derivatives as part of a single close-out netting arrangement under an ISDA Master Agreement, confirming the enforceability of set-off rights, which enable counterparties to exchange a single net payment across products in the event of a default or termination.

The Statement Of Cash Flows: Improving The Quality Of Cash Flow Information Provided To Investors, Paul Munter, SEC Chief Accountant
Introduction: The Importance of Cash Flow Reporting for Investors
The statement of cash flows is integral to a complete set of financial statements, and it should therefore be subject to the same level of due professional care, effective internal controls, and robust, high-quality audit as other financial statements. Unfortunately, we have observed that preparers and auditors may not always apply the same rigor and attention to the statement of cash flows as they do to other financial statements, which may impede high quality financial reporting for the benefit of investors. This is evidenced by the statement of cash flows consistently being a leading area of financial statement restatements, and by our observations of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) around the preparation and presentation of the statement of cash flows.
