الحقوق السياسية للأقليات الدينية في الدساتير العراقية دراسة مقارنة مع الحقوق السياسية لأهل الذمة في الفكر الإسلامي, لطيف عبد الحسين موسى

Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences

من المعروف ان قواعد القانون الدستوري هي قواعد داخلية تنظم العديد من المسائل الهامة في الدولة , ومن ضمنها الحقوق والحريات العامة ، وقد اتجهت أكثر الدساتير في العالم إلى أحاطت هذه الحقوق ضمن مبادئ ونصوص دستورية وذلك للحيلولة من المساس بها والاعتداء عليها من أي جهة كانت .تعتبر حقوق الأقليات من أهم الملامح الأساسية للدساتير الديمقراطية ، لأنها تفسر كيف تحافظ الدولة عن حقوق الفئة القليلة بوجود الأغلبية وهم دائما أصحاب السلطة والقوة .سوف نسلط الضوء في هذا البحث على تعريف هذه الحقوق وأنواعها ، وكيف تعاملت الدساتير العراقية بمرور التاريخ مع الأقليات وحقوقهم السياسية، مثل حق الانتخاب ، …

Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences

يعد النظام المصرفي من أكثر الأنظمة التي تنطوي على مخاطر، والقروض البنكية تعد الخدمة الرئيسية وأهم مصدر لتحقيق العوائد بالنسبة للبنوك التجارية، وبقدر أهمية القروض كمصدر للعوائد بقدر ما تشكل مصدرا حقيقيا للمخاطرة، حيث لا وجود لقرض دون مخاطرة، وفي هذا الوضع تصبح البنوك مجبرة على تقدير تلك المخاطر، والتنبؤ بها للتقليل منها إلى أدنى حد وفي وقت قياسي. وتعتبر الرقابة المركزة على المخاطر أحد الأدوات والأساليب الرقابية الجديدة التي تعمل على الحد من تزايد المخاطر الإئتمانية والمصرفية.تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى التعرف على مساهمة نظام الرقابة الداخلية وفعاليتها في عملية إدارة مخاطر الإئتمان في بنك الفلاحة والتنمية الريفية، ولقد تم …

Development Of A Fuzzy Linear Programming Model For Allocation Of Inoperability In Economic Sectors Due To Loss Of Natural Resource Inputs, Raymond R. Tan, Kathleen B. Aviso, Michael Angelo B. Promentilla, Krista Danielle S. Yu, Joost R. Santos 2015 De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines

Development Of A Fuzzy Linear Programming Model For Allocation Of Inoperability In Economic Sectors Due To Loss Of Natural Resource Inputs, Raymond R. Tan, Kathleen B. Aviso, Michael Angelo B. Promentilla, Krista Danielle S. Yu, Joost R. Santos

DLSU Business & Economics Review

The inoperability input-output model (IIM) has recently been proposed as an extension of conventional input-output analysis for assessing the vulnerability of interdependent infrastructures to various perturbations, such as natural disasters, industrial accidents, and deliberate attacks. The IIM framework makes use of a dimensionless risk metric called inoperability, which quantifies the degree of failure of a system on a scale ranging from 0 (normal state) to 1 (total failure). This inoperability is then assumed to propagate through any given industrial network after being induced by initial demand or supply-side perturbations. This work presents a fuzzy linear programming (FLP) model to allocate …

DLSU Business & Economics Review

This article elaborates on an action research undertaken by three researchers from a business school of a leading university in the Philippines on the contribution of non-formal education programs in poverty alleviation, aimed to initiate women empowerment and youth development among selected women and youth in the parishes they belong to. Non-formal education programs such as home-based livelihood program, parenting for women, leadership, character building, values clarification, and priority setting for women and youth were administered as a way to reduce the selected parishioners’ vulnerabilities arising from poverty. Using outcome mapping as a project cycle management tool, changed behaviours, attitudes, …

Three Studies Examining Nonprofessional Investors' Decision Making, Anis Triki

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation consists of three studies exploring nonprofessional investors' decision making. Technological advancements witnessed by the capital markets in recent years have caused significant changes to the dissemination and use of information, particularly by nonprofessional investors. Among these developments is the growth of social media that allows anyone to post information upon which others may rely and the availability of DAs that assist decision makers in evaluating the quality of information reported by an organization. The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the benefits of using DAs that are capable assessing the quality of information reported to capital market …


Three Studies Examining The Effects Of Psychological Distance On Judgment And Decision Making In Accounting, Martin Weisner 2015 University of Central Florida

Three Studies Examining The Effects Of Psychological Distance On Judgment And Decision Making In Accounting, Martin Weisner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation comprises three studies, a literature review and two experimental studies, that center on the effects of psychological distance on judgment and decision-making in accounting. Construal level theory (CLT) of psychological distance (Liberman and Trope 1998; Trope and Liberman 2003), a framework recently developed in the field of social psychology, constitutes the theoretical foundation for each study. The first study reviews extant literature on CLT and illustrates the theory's potential for investigating previously unexplained phenomena within the accounting domain. Selected publications that apply CLT in contexts that are of particular interest to accounting researchers are emphasized and a series …


Impact Of Fiscal Decentralization On Quality Financial Reporting At The Districts In Ghana, Abdul-Malik Seidu Zakaria 2015 Walden University

Impact Of Fiscal Decentralization On Quality Financial Reporting At The Districts In Ghana, Abdul-Malik Seidu Zakaria

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

This study examined the impact of fiscal decentralization on quality financial reporting at the local government level in Ghana. The study is important because it provides development partners with the assurance that Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) funds are used for their intended purposes. The study was based on the theory of local public expenditures, which posits that fiscal decentralization may enhance local capacities for service delivery. The key research question examined the extent to which fiscal decentralization has influenced quality financial reporting at the local level. The research design was quantitative, randomly sampling stakeholders in the local government …

Does The Pcaob Inspection Have An Effect On Audit Fees And Audit Quality?, Elizabeth Schwartzhoff Johnson 2015 Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College

Does The Pcaob Inspection Have An Effect On Audit Fees And Audit Quality?, Elizabeth Schwartzhoff Johnson

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

I investigate the effects of the issuance of the PCAOB Part II report on audit fees and audit quality. The PCAOB replaced the peer review auditor program with an independent inspection of audit firms. Upon completion of each inspection, the PCAOB issues inspection reports that include a public portion (Part I) of identified audit deficiencies, and most include a nonpublic portion (Part II) of identified quality control weaknesses which is not disclosed publicly unless the audit firm does not sufficiently complete remediation during the next 12 months. Upon issuance of the Part II report, I find that audit firms experience …

The Ethicality And Financial Impact Of Paying Collegiate Athletes, Keaton J. Vann

Honors Theses

The purpose of this study is to explain why collegiate athletes should be paid and the financial impact of paying them. The study looks at how the NCAA's student-athlete model has exploited collegiate athletes and denied them from receiving a share of the revenues they generate each year. It includes the reasons for paying players, and the troubles athletes go through because of the way the NCAA is orchestrated. The goal is to determine the financial effect of paying athletes across the NCAA, as well as by divisions and conferences. Additionally, the financial statements of the NCAA and some of …


The Effect Of Information Choice On Auditors’ Judgments And Confidence, Steven D. Smith, William B. Tayler, Douglas F. Prawitt 2015 Brigham Young University - Provo

The Effect Of Information Choice On Auditors’ Judgments And Confidence, Steven D. Smith, William B. Tayler, Douglas F. Prawitt

Faculty Publications

Previous research finds that individuals place more weight on information when they choose to obtain it than when they acquire it without explicit choice. We examine whether litigation risk and auditor experience influence auditors’ susceptibility to this information choice effect. In our experiment, auditor participants evaluate the likelihood of an inventory obsolescence issue for a hypothetical client subsidiary. We find that in a high litigation risk setting, less-experienced auditors weight information they choose to acquire more heavily than do less-experienced auditors who acquire the same information without choice. Further, we predict and find that auditors choosing to acquire information are …


The Usefulness Of Historical Accounting Reports, Michael S. Drake, Darren T. Roulstone, Jacob Thornock 2015 Brigham Young University - Provo

The Usefulness Of Historical Accounting Reports, Michael S. Drake, Darren T. Roulstone, Jacob Thornock

Faculty Publications

In this study we investigate the usefulness of historical accounting reports(10-Ks and 10- Qs) by examining four settings where we expect investors to acquire historical reports in order to obtain qualitative and quantitative information that contextualizes and conditions information released in the current period. Using a novel dataset that tracks user requests for accounting reports stored in the SEC EDGAR database, we find that requests for historic reports during the fiscal year are positively associated with financial reporting complexity and that requests around earnings announcements are positively associated with accounting discretion and negative earnings shocks (particularly for conservative firms). Finally, …


Tunneling Through Non-Operational Fund Occupancy: An Investigation Based On Officially Identified Activities, Guohua JIANG, Pingui RAO, Heng YUE 2015 Singapore Management University

Tunneling Through Non-Operational Fund Occupancy: An Investigation Based On Officially Identified Activities, Guohua Jiang, Pingui Rao, Heng Yue

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

In this paper, we investigate the problem of controlling shareholder Non-Operational Fund Occupancy (NOFO) in China, where controlling shareholders directly take funds away from listed firms without matching business transactions. The NOFO problem was an evident and widely used tunneling activity in China and was identified by the securities market regulators. Unlike previous literature that used indirect measures of tunneling, we directly collect the actual amounts of NOFO from mandated disclosures and utilize this direct measure of tunneling in a series of empirical tests. First, we examine and find that various mechanisms such as ownership structure, corporate governance and institutional …

Continuing Professional Development In The Accounting Profession: Practices And Perceptions From The Asia Pacific Region, Paul De Lange, Beverley Jackling, Themin Suwardy

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

Drawing on research in the sociology of professions as a reference point, this study examines the practices and perceptions of professional accountants towards the requirements of IES7 on continuing professional development (CPD). Responses from 1310 accountants in the Asia Pacific region suggest while increasing globalisation has led to more unified standards of professionalism, the perceptions of these standards are not uniform across the region. While there is some consensus that the ongoing development of accounting as part of globalisation, significant differences were identified in perceptions towards CPD offerings between professional accountants in developed economies, compared with emerging economies. Differences in …


Short Selling Pressure, Stock Price Behavior, And Management Forecast Precision: Evidence From A Natural Experiment, Yinghua LI, Liandong ZHANG 2015 Arizona State University

Short Selling Pressure, Stock Price Behavior, And Management Forecast Precision: Evidence From A Natural Experiment, Yinghua Li, Liandong Zhang

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

Using a natural experiment (Regulation SHO), we show that short selling pressure and consequent stock price behavior have a causal effect on managers' voluntary disclosure choices. Specifically, we find that managers respond to a positive exogenous shock to short selling pressure and price sensitivity to bad news by reducing the precision of bad news forecasts. This finding on management forecasts appears to be generalizable to other corporate disclosures. In particular, we find that, in response to increased short selling pressure, managers also reduce the readability (or increase the fuzziness) of bad news annual reports. Overall, our results suggest that maintaining …
