What FASB standards impact the reporting of bond issuers?

It depends on who the issuer of the bond is.  One way to split the bond market is for issuers who have to register their bond offerings with the SEC and those who do not--known as "exempt securities" because their exempt from SEC registration rules.\n\nSome securities are always exempt.  These include U.S. government bonds, municipal bonds and bonds issued by government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (although the GSEs comply with FASB rules "voluntarily").  Corporate bonds and asset-backed securities have to be registered unless they're offered in "private placements."\n\nSo, to answer your question, for issuers of bonds that are registered with the SEC, all the FASB rules apply.  For others, none apply.

They might have it in the footnotes somewhere, or it might be listed in the text, but that's kind of rare.  Worse case, you could probably email/call up their investor relations department and just ask.

The yields on government bnds fluctuate almost on a daily basis and especially during monthly interest rate revisions. Therefore, the same bond bought at different times would yield a different return. \n\nHope this helps.\n\n\nhttp://www.mastersoequity.com\n\n\n.

I believe you mean series B Bonds-this is from Yahoo Finance:\n\nBonds are debt and are issued for a period of more than one year. The U.S. government, local governments, water districts, companies and many other types of institutions sell bonds. When an investor buys bonds, he or she is lending money. The seller of the bond agrees to repay the principal amount of the loan at a specified time. Interest-bearing bonds pay interest periodically.

Yes.  A resolution of the board of shareholders (members or managers) is sufficient to open bank accounts and for purposes of governance.  \nAlso, when empowered to do so, oftentimes, executive or administrative committees or even individual executive officers may issue policy directives or resolutions that alter business operations.

Some do... at the FatWallet forums (which I'll link to), they've compiled a list of the financial institutions (as well as some other companies) that are known to do a "hard pull" on your credit report (which messes it up) for non-credit accounts.\n\nhttp://www.fatwallet.com/forums/messageview.php?start=0&catid=52&threadid=260724

Because even though they're off the balance sheet, they might affect the future cash flow and ability for the bank to meet requirements.  It might also have to do with reserve requirements and credit rating, but I didn't look those 2 up.

As a former financial counselor, this is a common question that we heard repeatedly. Lenders are supposed to report to the credit bureaus monthly, and most do. Except they are not required, so at times they may report changes bi-monthly or even quarterly, depending on the creditor. If for example you paid off a balance, and you expect to see a change right away, I would be patient because you may not see any significant changes for some time. \n\nResearch indicates that, for the most part, FICO scores are pretty stable from one month to the next, however, changes in your credit behavior can significantly impact your FICO score over time. The degree of change in score is driven by a variety of factors such as:\n\n(1) Your current credit profile. How you have managed your credit to date will affect how a particular action may impact your score. For example, new information on a credit report, such as opening a new credit account, is more likely to have a larger impact on a consumer with limited credit history compared to a consumer with a very full credit history.\n(2) The change being reported. The “degree” of change being reported will have an impact. For example, if someone who usually pays bills on-time continues to do so - a positive action - then there will likely be only a small impact on the score one month later. On the other hand, if this same person files for bankruptcy or misses a payment, then there will most likely be a substantial impact on the score one month later.\n(3) How quickly information is updated.  Remember, there is sometimes a time lag between when you perform an action (like paying off your credit balance in full) and when it is reported by the creditor to the credit bureau.\nStill, small changes in score can be important for some consumers who want to obtain a certain FICO score level or who are striving to reach a certain lender’s FICO score “cutoff” (the point above which a lender would accept a new application for credit, but below which, the credit application would be denied).\n\nRegardless of your situation, the rule of thumb is 6 months. If you know that there should be a change in your credit score, and you do not see it by 6 months, then you may have to contact the creditor to make sure they are reporting to the bureau in a timely fashion. Good luck with your situation!

Banks are not required to report to a credit reporting agency.  However, most all banks do report.  This problem is most common with small, local banks.  Most of the big banks report.  Further, there are three major credit reports - Equifax, Transunion, and Experian.  The large banks normally report to all three, but some of the smaller ones may report to only one or two.  You should contact your bank to find out who they report to and make sure your loan is reported to that agency correctly.

The Patriot & Anti Money Laundering Regs require anyone, even clerks to notify the government if they think anything is odd. Anybody's opinion or fear of not reporting can trigger a report. It is a worry but I don't think you do anything-it doesn't matter what amount anymore.\n\nBy the way, the clerk or bank is also required to keep the reporting a secret from  you.\n\nThis from http://www.occ.treas.gov/handbook/bsa.pdf:                   :\n\nSuspicious Activity Reporting Requirements\n\nAn effective BSA compliance program includes controls and measures to identify and timely report suspicious transactions. A financial institution must apply due diligence to be able to make an informed decision about the suspicious nature of a particular transaction and whether to file a suspicious activity report (SAR). SARs can be filed on any transaction occurring in any\nbank department.\n\nI hold a securities license and have taken the Anti Money Laundering tests. Believe me, it's true. Have your bank or security firms rules changed? Everyone scrambled to comply. Banking firms had systems already set up to catch the $10,000 rule-they've just recoded a bit...
