来源：高顿网校 2015-08-11

　　高顿网校小编为各位ACCA学员整理了P1科目讲义辅导，希望大家查漏补缺，对考试有所帮助。
2.Agency theory

　　2.1 Definition of agency relationship

　　“A contract under which one or more persons (the principals) engage another person (the agent) to perform some service on their behalf which involves delegation some decisions making authority to the agent.”

　　<1>Agents: one person is employed by others (principal) to carry out a task on their behalf.

　　<2>Principles: one person employs others (agent) to carry out a task on his behalf.

　　<3>Agency is acting on behalf of another (principal) in dealing with others.

　　2.2 Accountability and fiduciary duty

　　<1>Accountability: in the context of agency, means that the agent is answerable under the contract to his principal and must account for the resources of his principal and the money he has gained working on his principal’s behalf.

　　<2>Fiduciary duty: a duty imposed upon certain persons because of the position of trust and confidence in which they stand in relation to another.(Directors own a fiduciary duty to the company not to individual shareholders)

　　a. Full disclosure of information held by the fiduciary (agent)

　　b. A strict duty to account for any profit received as a result of the relationship

　　c. A duty to avoid conflicts of interest

　　<3>Accountability in agency theory and corporate governance

　　a. Performance: agent has a contractual obligation to perform agreed legal task with reward be paid.

　　b. Obedience: agent must act strictly in accordance with his principal’s lawful and reasonable instruction.

　　c. Skill: agent should maintain the standard of professional skill and care.

　　d. Personal performance: agent owes a duty to perform his task himself and not to delegate, except a few special circumstances (required by law, etc)

　　e. No conflict of interest: agent owes a duty not to conflict of interest with his principal.

　　f. Confidentiality: agent must keep confidence with principal’s affairs even after the agency relationship has ceased.

　　g. Benefit: agent must hand over all benefit to his principal unless it is allowed to retain.

　　2.3 Agency in the context of corporate governance

　　2.4 Agency problems and agency costs

　　<1>Agency problems in delegation

　　a. The principal and agent have a conflict of interest, or they have different attitude in risk management.

　　b. It is difficult and expensive for the principal to verify what the agent is actually doing (introduce mechanisms to control; spend time, money and resource to monitor).

　　<2>Agency costs

　　a. The principal spend time, money and resources to monitor the activities of agents. (Information Asymmetry)

　　b. To introduce mechanisms to control the activities of the agent

　　<3>Resolving the agency problem: alignment of interest

　　a. Profit-relate pay / economic value added pay

　　b. Reward manager with shares: management buy-in/buy-out, managers become joint owner-managers.

　　c. Executive share option (ESOPs): increase in company value lead to increase in share price.

　　d. Monitoring mechanisms (monitor mangers’ behavior): NEDs, management audit, additional report, and significant shareholder engagement.

　　2.5 Transaction costs theory

　　<1>Definition: companies try to keep as many transactions as possible in-house (vertical integration) in order to reduce uncertainties about dealing with suppliers (purchase price and quality).

　　a. Search and information costs (find the supplier)

　　b. Marketing, bargaining and decision costs (purchase component)

　　c. Policing and enforcement costs (monitor quality)

　　<2>Relationship with agency theory

　　a. Difference: transaction costs theory focus on opportunistic; agency theory focus on agency problem and costs

　　b. Similar: they all deal with conflict of interest, managers should pursue shareholders’ best interests rather than their own

acca备考热门问题解答

acca考试怎么搭配科目？: 建议优先选择相关联的科目进行搭配报考，这样可以提高备考效率，减轻备考压力，1、F1-F4：为随时机考科目，难度较低，这里可以自行随意选择考试顺序。2、F5-F9：如果你的工作的和财务会计或者审计有关、或者你比较擅长财务和审计的话，推荐先考F7和F8。你可以选择一起考ACCA考试科目F7和F8或者先考F7（8）再考F8（7），这就要取决你一次想考几门。3、P阶段：选修科目中，建议企业首选AFM！第二部分科目进行选择，如果AA和SBR掌握学生更好，可以通过选择AAA，如果SBL掌握的好，可以自己选择APM。
