Limited research has been conducted applying TCE in a risk management context with most in the accounting discipline concentrating on internal audit. Increasing our understanding of risk management practices benefits organisations, accounting professionals and regulators concerned with governance practice.

Micro And Macro Determinants Of Financial Distress, Ray Mcnamara, Keith Duncan, Simone Kelly
Micro And Macro Determinants Of Financial Distress, Ray Mcnamara, Keith Duncan, Simone Kelly
Keith Duncan
One criticism of failure prediction models is the bias resulting from pooling failure data over years when economic conditions might influence the failure of a firm. This research incorporates both macroeconomic variables and firm specific variables in explaining corporate failure. The results suggest that including economic variables improve the explanation of failure by ten percent. The economic variables included in the analysis were one-year lag in change in GDP, a two-year lag in interest rates, a one-year lag in the share price index, and a one-year lag in corporate profits. Economic variables were identified using a principal component analysis of …

Fraud Prevention In Nigeria: Applying The Forensic Accounting Tool, Professor Ben C Osisioma
Prof Ben Chuka Osisioma
The spate of global scandals and corporate misadventures that began with the energy giant, Enron in the years 2000 to 2002, the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997/98, and the global Financial Meltdown of 2008, rocked the accountancy profession and sharply drew attention to the need for the profession to re-invent itself and re-define its focus in the new millennium. Accounting practitioners world-wide, have tested the limits of creative accounting, and the verdict of the marketplace is that the era of sharp and unwholesome practices are over for good. Part of the professional response to challenge of this era, is the …

An Examination Of Factors For The Strategic Use Of Information Systems In The Healthcare Industry, K. Kyu Kim, Jeffrey E. Michelman
Jeffrey E Michelman
The potential use of information systems technology (IST) as a competitive weapon has been of enormous interest to many academic scholars and practitioners. However, the importance of identifying factors that organizations must deal with in the process of achieving IST competitive advantages has received inadequate research attention. This article attempts to identify these important factors for the strategic use of IST by examining the multifaceted role of IST in the healthcare context. Three propositions are developed from (1) re-examining a variety of successful IST applications both within and outside healthcare organizations, (2) re-applying the integration concept from the literature, and …
An Institutional Theory Perspective On The Drg Framework, Case-Mix Accounting Systems And Health-Care Organizations, Mark A. Covaleski, Mark W. Dirsmith, Jeffrey E. Michelman
An Institutional Theory Perspective On The Drg Framework, Case-Mix Accounting Systems And Health-Care Organizations, Mark A. Covaleski, Mark W. Dirsmith, Jeffrey E. Michelman
Jeffrey E Michelman
Case-mix accounting systems have been advanced as both reflecting the economic reality that underlies a hospital's various “product lines”, as defined by DRG prospective payment categories, and facilitating rational decision making regarding resource acquisition, deployment and use. This article uses the institutional perspective to extend this conceptualization of case-mix accounting systems. The institutional perspective proposes that many elements of organizational structure, like case-mix accounting systems, reflect as much a need to conform to societal expectations of acceptable practice as the technical imperative of fostering rationality. This article also extends institutional theory regarding the issues of power and decoupling by considering …

Voice Recognition Software, Bobby E. Waldrup, Jeffrey E. Michelman, Maxine L. Person
Jeffrey E Michelman
Voice recognition software (VRS) allows computer users to control applications with voice commands instead of the traditional keyboard and mouse. The technology is being heralded as the next generation of human-computer interface, promising to make computer applications more efficient and user-friendly. The authors introduce the three major off-the-shelf VRS packages, discuss possible uses for CPAs, and chronicle their difficulties in using the technology and adapting to its requirements and shortcomings. Those hoping for immediate increased efficiency in all aspects of usage will likely be disappointed; VRS delivered on certain promises but fell far short of the authors’ expectations in others. …

Cpas' Role In Fighting Fraud In Nonprofit Organization, Andrea Mcneal, Jeffrey E. Michelman
Jeffrey E Michelman
The article discusses the role of financial officers and certified public accountants in facilitating and ensuring effective internal controls in nonprofit organizations. Nonprofit boards frequently experience a high turnover of members, and individuals that volunteer are often untrained or unqualified to properly perform the oversight function. Moreover, most small nonprofits are cash based, which can compound any issues or weaknesses present in the control environment.
Improving Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: Coso’S Guidance Not Just For Public Companies Anymore, Jeffrey E. Michelman, Bobby E. Waldrup
Improving Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: Coso’S Guidance Not Just For Public Companies Anymore, Jeffrey E. Michelman, Bobby E. Waldrup
Jeffrey E Michelman
When the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) released itsInternal Control—Integrated Framework (ICFR) in 1992, the event went largely unnoticed. The importance of this framework changed dramatically with the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX). Because SOX required all covered entities to base their assessment of internal control on a recognized framework, COSO was readily embraced. Unfortunately, smaller public and nonpublic companies have found the 1992 framework complicated to apply and to understand.
