The Secondary Market For Gift Cards And The Role Of Corporate Bankruptcy Risk, Kaitlyn A. Desai
CMC Senior Theses
The website, Plastic Jungle, is taking advantage of the rapidly growing gift card phenomena by creating a secondary market that enables consumers to buy, sell, and exchange gift cards online at a discount. This paper examines the relationship between this secondary gift card market and the corporate bankruptcy risk of companies with gift cards listed on the market. When a company issues a gift card, the card is unsecured debt and the cardholder becomes an unsecured creditor to the company. This paper investigates whether the cardholder acts similarly to other unsecured creditors or as someone who is merely holding another …

How Users Actually Use Financial Statements: A New Tool For Research In Experimental Accounting, Kevin Burke
CMC Senior Theses
This thesis presents a new methodology based on directly measuring user behavior and making decisions based on experimental results.

The tool records user movement on a computer screen with mouse tracking, which allows researchers to track user behavior in greater detail than ever before. The methodology was tested on a subject pool of non-professional financial analysts and junior professionals, who were presented with a company’s financial data in the current GAAP and a …

Assessment Of The 'Accounting Cycle': Test Tools For The Accounting Professor, Nicole M. Swanson
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
The two main goals of this thesis are to provide an assessment tool for accounting professors as well as a learning tool for students to gain a better understanding of the accounting cycle. Many students coming out of the basic accounting courses have a pretty good understanding of the different parts of the accounting cycle, but few have a solid understanding of the bigger picture and how each part fits together. I believe this is partly due to the fact that students in 200 level courses are never required to complete the accounting cycle from beginning to end. As such, …

Field studies were conducted to gather an initial list of affect experienced before purchasing “highinvolvement” products. An initial list of 94 pre-purchase affect was identified and trimmed down to 18 after further statistical analysis. A second study was conducted to determine the structure of the pre-purchase emotion set (PES) derived from the first study. Multidimensional scaling was used and four clusters of emotion …

This paper seeks to identify the incidence of dysfunctional audit behaviours and audit quality reduction behaviours, actions taken by an auditor during engagement that reduce evidence-gathering effectiveness. The paper is based on a survey of 244 auditors working in small/medium and big audit firms in Malaysia. The paper identifies key variables leading to dysfunctional audit behaviour.
