Politically Connected Governments, Christine Cuny, Jungbae Kim, Mihir N. Mehta Sep 2020

Politically Connected Governments, Christine Cuny, Jungbae Kim, Mihir N. Mehta

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

This paper examines the consequences of powerful political connections for local governments. We find that governments located within the constituencies of, and thus connected to, powerful congressional members reduce their stewardship over public resources. Using plausibly exogenous declines in the power of congressional representation, we show that the effect is causal. To better understand why connected local governments can reduce stewardship, we study electoral characteristics. Our findings suggest that the increased resources that come with powerful congressional representation allow local‐government officials to reduce stewardship without material adverse effects on their reelection prospects. In sum, we provide evidence of a cost …

The objective of financial reporting is to provide financial information that is useful to existing and potential investors, lenders and other creditors (IASB’s Conceptual Framework ED/2015/3). General purpose financial reports provide information about the financial position of a reporting entity, as well as information about the effects of transactions and other events that will change a reporting entity’s economic resources and claims (para 1.12 ED/2015/3). Investor confidence and trust in the financial statements is a crucial component for financial markets to function smoothly. This report presents the attitudes and concerns of over 700 respondents toward fair value accounting. The survey …


The Certifying Triangle Of Financial Reports, Dong Li Jan 2016

The Certifying Triangle Of Financial Reports, Dong Li

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

This research provides theoretical, regulatory, and empirical underpinnings that financial reports are the joint representation of the certifying triangle (i.e., CEO-CFO-Auditor). This research also finds that replacement of the CEO tends to reduce the survival rate of the CFO with the firm, and vice versa; replacement of the CFO reduces the survival rate of the auditor, and vice versa. However, an association does not exist between the survival rate of the CEO and the auditor. Moreover, while a single realignment of the certifying triangle does not reduce the year-end ERC, a double (CEO-CFO) realignment significantly decreases the ERC. This negative …

Relationship Between The Audit Function And Effective Governance, Keith Duncan Aug 2014

Relationship Between The Audit Function And Effective Governance, Keith Duncan

Keith Duncan

Extract: As early as 1200 A.D. incorporated guilds in the United Kingdom (UK) required annual audits by a committee of members (Watts et al. 1983). The historical evidence suggests that the audit function evolved as an effective monitoring and bonding technology (Watts et al. 1983) that today consists of an international profession fulfilling regulatory requirements for assurance services. Despite auditing’s long history we might well ask, in the light of financial frauds such as Enron and the demise of their auditor Arthur Anderson, and the recent global financial crisis, does the modern audit function enhance effective governance? Is the audit …
