How Singapore Investors Can Profit From Unstructured Data, Clarence GOH 2017 Singapore Management University

How Singapore Investors Can Profit From Unstructured Data, Clarence Goh

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

Data that is collected in the business environment can be structured or unstructured. In general, structured data refers to information which is highly organised and which can easily be stored in rows and columns within database systems. On the other hand, unstructured data does not have a strict data structure, and is also not organised in a pre-defined manner.


Gender And Connections Among Wall Street Analysts, Lily Hua FANG, Sterling HUANG 2017 INSEAD

Gender And Connections Among Wall Street Analysts, Lily Hua Fang, Sterling Huang

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

We examine how alumni ties with corporate boards differentially affect male and female analysts’ job performance and career outcomes. Connection improves men’s job performance — forecasting accuracy and recommendation impact — significantly more than women’s. Controlling for performance, connection further contributes to men’s, but not women’s, likelihood of being voted by institutional investors as “star” analysts, a marker of career success. These asymmetric effects are stronger in more opaque firms and among younger analysts, but is absent from a placebo test. Our evidence indicates that men reap higher benefits from social networks than women in both job performance and subjective …

Marriott Student Review Volume I Issue 2: Women And Millennials In Business, Marianna Richardson 2017 Brigham Young University

Marriott Student Review Volume I Issue 2: Women And Millennials In Business, Marianna Richardson

Marriott Student Review

Our second edition of MSR is dedicated to two populations – millennials and women. Currently, millennials comprise approximately 35%[1] of the United States’ workforce. Women hold 51.7% of the jobs in the U.S. job market.[2] This MSR issue focuses on the status of these groups in the business world. The reason for this emphasis is that most MSR writers and readers are millennials (which is defined as people between the ages of 18-24) and all of us work with or for women (as well as some of us are women).


Have We Overlooked The Benefits Of Nas, James C. Rich 2017 Kennesaw State

Have We Overlooked The Benefits Of Nas, James C. Rich

Doctor of Business Administration Dissertations

Are nonaudit services (NAS) good or bad? Regulators, investors, and the professional accounting community have intensely debated this question for the last five decades. While seemingly a simple question, the abundance of conflicting literature surrounding this topic has indicated that the answer is anything but simple. The professional accounting community maintains that joint provision of the audit engagement and NAS results in a more in-depth knowledge base that positively impacts the auditor/client relationship. Regulators and investors have taken an opposing view by arguing that NAS lead auditors to compromise their independence. While an extensive body of literature has sought to …


Auditor Changes And Debt Financing : Evidence From China, Suet Ying CHAN 2017 Lingnan University

Auditor Changes And Debt Financing : Evidence From China, Suet Ying Chan

Theses & Dissertations

The role of independent auditors is to ensure the accuracy and the credibility of the financial statements. Independent auditors help in reducing agency costs and serve as a monitoring function for creditors. A change in an auditor–client relationship may provide useful information to creditors. Creditors may consider the signal of auditor changes, which affects information risks, as a factor in determining the terms of debts. After several major audit scandals, awareness of the importance of audit quality has increased. Audit partner changes and audit firm changes have been implemented in some jurisdictions to enhance the audit quality. Since China requires …


The Association Between Audit Committee Overboarding, Audit Committee Responses To Increased Workloads, And Financial Reporting Quality After Sox, John Kyle Castonguay 2017 University of Tennessee, Knoxville

The Association Between Audit Committee Overboarding, Audit Committee Responses To Increased Workloads, And Financial Reporting Quality After Sox, John Kyle Castonguay

Doctoral Dissertations

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) added a multitude of financial oversight responsibilities to the audit committee of public companies. These responsibilities increased the amount of time each audit committee member needed to devote to each committee served, leading to concerns amongst regulators and the investing community that audit committees that were overboarded and serving on multiple other board seats would be unable to effectively monitor the companies they represented. I find that these concerns are undue. More overboarded audit committees have adequately adjusted to their increased workloads in the decade since SOX to such a degree that they have lower misstatement …


Emerging Market Multinationals: The New Model Of Internationalization Of Firms, Hyuk Kim Dr. 2017 Otterbein University

Emerging Market Multinationals: The New Model Of Internationalization Of Firms, Hyuk Kim Dr.

Business, Accounting and Economics Faculty Scholarship

The conventional global competitive landscape started to change since the 1990s with the emergence of emerging market multinationals (EMNEs). Most of EMNEs were marginal competitors just a decade ago, but, today, they are challenging the world’s most accomplished and establishedmultinational enterprises (MNEs)from advanced markets in a wide variety of industries and markets. EMNEs have adopted different global expansion strategies from advanced market MNEs in the process of internationalization. Therefore, it is timely and critical to question whether the existing theories on internationalization of MNEs that have been developed mainly studying MNEs from advanced markets are relevant to explain the behaviors …

Does Industry-Level Information Affect Auditors’ Assessment Of Client-Level Risk?, David Rosser 2017 University of Arkansas, Fayetteville

Does Industry-Level Information Affect Auditors’ Assessment Of Client-Level Risk?, David Rosser

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This study investigates auditors’ consideration of industry-level information in their assessment of client-level risk. Auditing standards suggest that industry-level information is likely to be important in the assessment of client-level risk, but the standards provide few specifics about how auditors should use industry-level information in the risk assessment process. I argue that industry norms serve as a benchmark for evaluating the risk of the client and that deviations from industry norms could indicate increased audit risk. I create measures that capture the extent to which clients deviate from industry norms using proxies for client-level risk factors. In my primary tests, …
