Do External Financial Statement Auditors Sufficiently Adjust Their Audit Plans For Automated-Control Deficiencies?, Daniel D. Selby
Do External Financial Statement Auditors Sufficiently Adjust Their Audit Plans For Automated-Control Deficiencies?, Daniel D. Selby
Accounting Faculty Publications
Shelton (1999) found that experience, based on rank, mitigates the influence of less-than diagnostic evidence in going concern assessments. But, numerous studies (e.g., Abdolmohammadi and Wright 1987) question the external validity of studies that use rank to determine experience. I suspect that specialized domain experience is a better measure because all auditor ranks do not have procedural knowledge in going concern decisions but many auditors may have procedural knowledge in audit planning (AICPA 2008) and automated controls (Hunton et al. 2004). I investigate whether external financial statement auditors (henceforth auditors) sufficiently adjust their audit plans for material-automated-control-weaknesses. I determine the …
Walking The Talk Of Wall Street, Knowledge@Smu
Walking The Talk Of Wall Street, Knowledge@Smu
Knowledge@SMU
Years after he theorised that a blindfolded monkey throwing darts at stock listings can select a portfolio that would perform as well as one chosen by experts, Princeton economist Burton Malkiel is sticking by it. In the tenth edition of his investment classic, A Random Walk Down Wall Street, Malkiel explains why the experts are overrated, and why sticking with a buy-and-hold strategy using a broad stock market index fund will outperform the professionally managed ones.

Hedge Funds And Analyst Conflict Of Interest, Sung Gon Chung, Melvyn Teo
Research Collection School Of Accountancy
Are sell-side analysts reluctant to go against the investment views of their hedge fund clients? We show that analysts tend to upgrade stocks recently bought and downgrade stocks recently sold by hedge funds. Relative to other buy and strong buy recommendations, similar recommendations on stocks predominantly held by hedge funds parlay into poorer three-month and six-month stock returns. Hedge funds concurrently offload their stock holdings when analysts issue flattering reports. In line with an agency based explanation, our results are more pronounced for important brokerage clients such as high dollar turnover hedge funds and hedge funds who are prime brokerage …
Analysis Of The Real Estate Investment Trust (Reit) Industry, Frederic Juillet
Analysis Of The Real Estate Investment Trust (Reit) Industry, Frederic Juillet
MBA Student Scholarship
In 2009, most REITs opted for the recapitalization of their balance sheets in order to respond to the recent global credit crisis, thus reducing their leverage and strengthening their financial statements (REIT, 2011b). In 2011, the REIT industry represented $54.3 billion in revenue and a profit of $7.8 billion. The industry annual growth expectation for the next 5 years (from 2011 to 2016) is 5.1% or $69.7 billion (IBISWorld, 2011b). The Hotel & Motel industry counted 14 REITs in the lodging/resort sector in the U.S. (REIT, 2011c) and represented 10.5% of the equity REIT Industry (IBISWorld, 2011b). The REIT structure …

Large Mutual Fund Families: Bigger May Not Always Be Better, Knowledge@Smu
Knowledge@SMU
Investments are vital to one’s financial freedom. But investment strategy is an art which not everybody can master. Those who are new to investing may see mutual funds as an easy tool to make money. It has been traditionally thought that larger mutual fund families tend to perform better than their smaller counterparts. Do they really?
An Examination Of Factors For The Strategic Use Of Information Systems In The Healthcare Industry, K. Kyu Kim, Jeffrey E. Michelman
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.
Beating Market Expectations, Analysts’ Forecasts Dispersion And The Pricing Of Credit Default Swaps, Mauricio A. Melgarejo
Beating Market Expectations, Analysts’ Forecasts Dispersion And The Pricing Of Credit Default Swaps, Mauricio A. Melgarejo
Scholarship and Professional Work - Business
The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of beating analysts’ forecasts and the impact of analysts’ forecast dispersion on the pricing of firms’ credit default swaps (CDSs). CDS premium is the compensation required by investors for bearing firms’ credit default risk. Sell-side analysts collect market, industry and firm information and provide important information in the form of stock recommendations, stock price targets and accounting number forecasts. For that reason, the information contained in their forecasts may provide additional information to investors to price CDSs. My results show that firms that beat analysts’ earnings and revenue forecasts, and …

The Impact Of National Culture On Cost Of Equity Capital In Cross-Listed Firms, Kathy F. Otero
The Impact Of National Culture On Cost Of Equity Capital In Cross-Listed Firms, Kathy F. Otero
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
This study examines the GLOBE cultural dimensions of institutional collectivism, in-group collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, and power distance to evaluate the impact of national culture on cost of equity capital for firms cross-listing on two stock exchanges. In addition to evaluating the direct effect of culture on cost of equity capital, the study examines the moderating effect of national culture on impact of the political/regulatory environment and disclosure on cost of equity capital. Limited support was found for both the direct effect and the moderating effect of national culture on cost of equity capital.
Financial Literacy And Numerical Ability: Keys To Better Mortgage Outcomes, Knowledge@Smu
Financial Literacy And Numerical Ability: Keys To Better Mortgage Outcomes, Knowledge@Smu
Knowledge@SMU
The US mortgage crisis and its dire after effects have highlighted the criticality of financial literacy. And while most people would have picked up fundamental mathematical principles in schools, not everyone appreciates how arithmetic translates within the complex world of finance. Yet, given what has transpired with the subprime crisis, is it important for borrowers to appreciate complicated financial concepts before taking up a loan? A study of the US mortgage market, presented at a SMU School of Economics Seminar Series, provides some clues as it uncovers links between basic numerical skills and financial fate.

Venture Capital In Ireland In Comparative Perspective, Frank Barry, Clare O'Mahony, Beata Sax
Articles
This paper assembles the most comprehensive set of data available to offer a comparative perspective on venture capital in Ireland. The paper charts the emergence of the sector and the co-evolution of the demand and supply sides of the market. On the demand side, a flow of investment opportunities emerged – particularly from the indigenous software sector – for which venture capital represented an appropriate financing vehicle. Concurrently, on the supply side, publicly provided funding and other elements of public policy dramatically enhanced its availability. State support to the demand-side has been a multiple of state support to the supply …
Hedging Effectiveness Under Conditions Of Asymmetry, Jim Hanly, John Cotter
Hedging Effectiveness Under Conditions Of Asymmetry, Jim Hanly, John Cotter
Articles
We examine whether hedging effectiveness is affected by asymmetry in the return distribution by applying tail specific metrics, for example, Value at Risk, to compare the hedging effectiveness of short and long hedgers. Comparisons are applied to a number of hedging strategies including OLS, and both symmetric and asymmetric GARCH models. We apply our analysis to a dataset consisting of S&P500 index cash and futures containing symmetric and asymmetric return distributions chosen ex-post. Our findings show that asymmetry reduces out-of-sample hedging performance and that significant differences occur in hedging performance between short and long hedgers.
