Cultural Impact Of International Financial Reporting Standards On The Comparability Of Financial Statements, Cassandra L. Ward, S. Keith Lowe 2017 Jacksonville State University

Cultural Impact Of International Financial Reporting Standards On The Comparability Of Financial Statements, Cassandra L. Ward, S. Keith Lowe

Research, Publications & Creative Work

Due to globalization and expanding international business, it has become necessary for companies in various countries to communicate through a universal language of accounting. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) were developed and issued to serve as a uniform set of accounting standards. A proposed advantage of global implementation is the improved comparability of financial statements. However, due to variations among cultures, it is unrealistic for a single set of standards to be accepted and implemented in a wholly uniform manner to produce innately comparable financial statements. Because of cultural differences, there are varying degrees of IFRS acceptance: some countries adopt …

Role Of Assurance On The Enhancement Of Value-Relevance Of Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure, Pimolwan Chayapornkul 2017 Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy

Role Of Assurance On The Enhancement Of Value-Relevance Of Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure, Pimolwan Chayapornkul

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Investors have become increasingly aware that annual financial reporting alone cannot provide all salient information about a firm. The non-financial information such as CSR information is also important and useful. However, the disclosure of non-financial information, especially the separate CSR report, is voluntary. In addition, the assurance for CSR reporting is also currently the firm's voluntary. Therefore, this research aims to investigate whether the disclosure of CSR represents the value-relevant information for investors and to investigate whether the assurance of CSR disclosure also represents the value-relevant information. Unlike prior studies which focused on the availability of assurance statement, this research …


The Joint Effects Of Management Incentives And Perceived Locus Of Causality On Management Earnings Forecast Disclosures, Kanjana Phonsumlissakul 2017 Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy

The Joint Effects Of Management Incentives And Perceived Locus Of Causality On Management Earnings Forecast Disclosures, Kanjana Phonsumlissakul

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This study investigates the effect of management incentives (directive and transparency) and locus of causality (internal and external) on the willingness of managers to disclose management earnings forecast reports and the accuracy of management's earnings forecast information. The experimental findings show that managers with directive incentives are less likely to disclose the earnings forecast and provide less accurate information to market participants than managers with transparency incentives, for both point and range forecast forms. In addition, locus of causality contributes to the accuracy of management earnings forecast information when the forecasts suggest underperformance, but the findings reveal no significant differences …

Is The Us Unique? International Evidence On The Aggregate Earnings-Returns Association, Lindsey GALLO, Rebecca HANN, Congcong LI, Viktoriya ZOTOVA 2017 Singapore Management University

Is The Us Unique? International Evidence On The Aggregate Earnings-Returns Association, Lindsey Gallo, Rebecca Hann, Congcong Li, Viktoriya Zotova

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

We exploit differences in institutional and macroeconomic environments to shed light on what drives variation in the aggregate earnings-returns relation over time within the U.S. and across countries. We find that both intertemporal and cross-country variation in the aggregate earnings-returns association are driven primarily by two factors, namely, the monetary policy news conveyed in aggregate earnings and the market reaction to that news, which suggest that the strength of the discount rate news channel plays an important role in explaining the aggregate earnings-returns relation both within and outside of the U.S. We further find that institutional characteristics have a significant …

Favorability Of Financial And Nonfinancial Performance Measures And Analysts' Recommendations, Thomas F. Lewis Jr 2017 Virginia Commonwealth University

Favorability Of Financial And Nonfinancial Performance Measures And Analysts' Recommendations, Thomas F. Lewis Jr

Theses and Dissertations

This study investigates the extent to which sell-side analysts make full use of available financial and nonfinancial information signals in formulating stock recommendations. Prior research shows that investors rely strongly on sell-side analysts’ recommendations and that sell-side analysts pay considerable attention to nonfinancial measures in making their decisions. However, prior research has primarily focused on the mere presence of nonfinancial measures and not the extent to which the direction of such measures (i.e. favorability) is associated with firm value, or assessed the extent to which any interaction between financial measures and the direction of nonfinancial measures may influence analysts in …

Users’ Perceptions Of The Drivers For Corporate Sustainability Disclosures Made By Chinese Listed Companies, Junru Zhang

China’s economy and development over decades has achieved not only its national prosperity, but also a significant degree of concern about corporate sustainability. As a vehicle of communication to society, corporate sustainability disclosures (CSD) are considered the most effective and efficient, facilitating the empowerment and acknowledgement of stakeholders in the quest for, and understanding of, sustainability. Much research has investigated the influential factors of CSD based on theories developed from Western standards and economy; however, very limited research considers the driving forces created by cultural and political influences based on the understanding of the perceptions of corporate sustainability among stakeholders …

Three Essays On Corporate Governance And Politically Connected Firms, Justin Mindzak

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

In this dissertation three essays on corporate governance and politically connected firms are presented. The first essay “Interlocked Boards of Directors, Corporate Governance and Earnings Quality” studies the effects of interlocked boards of directors on voluntary governance disclosures, governance practices and earnings quality.

An Evaluation Of The General Vs. Specialist Nature Of Top Accounting Journals, Scott L. Summers, David A. Wood

Faculty Publications

Academic research has a role in advancing and enlightening society in broad areas of study. Many forces interact to influence the directions, topics, and methodologies used in research.
