Where The Guesswork Ends And The Accrual Begins: Environmental Remediation Liabilities And Their Effects On The Managerial Decision-Making Process, Corie Sue Dumdie
Where The Guesswork Ends And The Accrual Begins: Environmental Remediation Liabilities And Their Effects On The Managerial Decision-Making Process, Corie Sue Dumdie
Honors Theses, 1963-2015
Environmental remediation is not new, but accounting for the costs of such a process is. In 1996, the first authoritative literature on accounting for the costs of cleaning up environmental degradation were established, and they gave insight into the accounting treatment for environmental remediation liabilities (ERLs). The aim of the thesis is to explain the new accrual methods for ERLs and show their importance as they have influenced many managerial philosophies. The thesis also examines some of the weaknesses of ERLs and illustrates possible changes for the future. The most important aspect of ERLs is that they have helped management …

In The Search For Accounting Knowledge - Everything Old Is New Again, A. Kurtovic, K. Cooper
Faculty of Business - Accounting & Finance Working Papers
The following paper will attempt to substantiate claims that the accounting profession, has in over a hundred years, failed to adequately develop. Claims that the accounting profession has done little more than recycle financial accounting issues are not new, with such allegations having vocally surfaced in the past two decades. In order to achieve its aim, this paper will focus on Statement of Accounting Concepts number two [SAC 2], The Objective of General Purpose Financial Reporting. In gaining an understanding of today' s position of SAC 2 and how it has been arrived at, legislation dating over a hundred years …
Colonialism Of Accounting Education In Developing Countries: The Experiences Of Singapore And Sri Lanka, H. Wijewardena, S. Yapa
Colonialism Of Accounting Education In Developing Countries: The Experiences Of Singapore And Sri Lanka, H. Wijewardena, S. Yapa
Faculty of Business - Accounting & Finance Working Papers
This paper provides a comparative analysis of the nature of accounting education in Singapore and Sri Lanka. Both these countries were British colonies for nearly one hundred and fifty years and inherited their accounting education from the British. Consequently, even after nearly fifty years of independence, Sri Lanka is still following the colonial system for producing its accountants. Singapore, however, has successfully moved away from it within four years of independence. More importantly, the paper indicates that if a developing country continues to depend so heavily on foreign accounting bodies or produces accountants locally through education programmes based on the …
Measuring Risk-Based Capital, Karen Anderson '97
Measuring Risk-Based Capital, Karen Anderson '97
Honors Projects
In order to assure policyholders that their benefits will be available when they are needed, the National Association ofInsurance Commissioners (NAIC) has begun regulating insurer capital through the Risk-Based Capital (RBC) Model Act for life insurance companies. The Model Act helps state insurance regulators plan to preserve and protect adequate insurance capital levels and maintain insurer solvency. The RBC requirements provide for a ratio which assesses the level of risk that is associated with an insurance company's assets. The purpose of the NAIC's RBC calculation is to develop the minimum amount of surplus needed given the risks assumed by the …

Consumption Taxes: An Examination, Joshua E. Richardson '97
Honors Projects
The current in orne tax system fails to achieve several of these goals. This paper will examine three alternatives to the income tax: a national sales tax, a value added tax, and a personal expen iture tax. The three taxes create the same tax on an item of consumption through different methods. These options will be discussed in comparison to the current income tax on the basis of administrative efficiency, equity, economic consequences, and transitional difficulties.

Undergraduate Accounting Curriculum: The Unique Case Of Iran, H. Wijewardena, J. Roudaki
Faculty of Business - Accounting & Finance Working Papers
After the Islamic Revolution of 1979, the entire education system in Iran was drastically changed to make it more relevant to the Islamic principles. Accordingly, a single undergraduate accounting curriculum designed by the government was imposed on all universities in Iran in 1982. Since then, undergraduate accounting programmes of all universities have been conducted on the basis of this common curriculum. However, there has been criticism that several features of this curriculum are not appropriate in terms ofeducational objectives and economic conditions of the country. This study examined the nature and content of the above curriculum with the purpose of …
Can Negative Expected Value Gambling Be Rational? An Analysis Of A Doubling Scheme For Roulette, D. Edelman
Can Negative Expected Value Gambling Be Rational? An Analysis Of A Doubling Scheme For Roulette, D. Edelman
Faculty of Business - Accounting & Finance Working Papers
It is well-known (e.g., Wald (1947)) that complicated betting strategies and stopping times cannot turn unfavourable games into favourable ones. While economists tend to attribute individuals' willingness to play such games to irrationality (as might be modeled by increasing marginal utility, for example) the present paper presents an example which suggests an alternative model, one which suggests that negative expected-value (EV) gamblers may in some instances be behaving rationally after all.

Truth Or Consequences: A Study Of Critical Issues And Decision Making In Accounting, Annetta M. Gibson, Albert H. Frakes

This study applies a theoretical framework, the theory of reasoned action, to the examination of unethical decision making in job-related situations encountered by CPAs. A survey methodology was employed in which respondents were asked to use both self-reported and randomized response techniques for reporting unethical behavior. The results indicate that individuals are unwilling to accurately report either unethical behavior or intention, particularly in situations where there is no question as to the unacceptability of the action or the potential penalty as presented in the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct. Implications for the accounting profession and research are discussed.
