Discretionary Behavior With Respect To The Adoption Of Sfas 142 And The Behavior Of Security Prices, Yoonseok Zang Feb 2008

Discretionary Behavior With Respect To The Adoption Of Sfas 142 And The Behavior Of Security Prices, Yoonseok Zang

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which takes a very different approach to how goodwill is accounted for subsequent to the initial recognition. The new statement requires that goodwill no longer be amortized, but instead requires a transitional goodwill impairment (initial impairment loss or IIL) test in the adoption fiscal year and an annual impairment test thereafter. Since SFAS 142 allows firms substantial judgment in the adoption year in determining the amount of impairment loss, this dissertation first examines management discretionary behavior in measuring the IIL. The result shows …

An Examination Of Accounting Majors' Ethical Decisions Before And After An Ethics Course Requirement, Violet Rogers, Aileen Smith Jan 2008

An Examination Of Accounting Majors' Ethical Decisions Before And After An Ethics Course Requirement, Violet Rogers, Aileen Smith

Faculty Publications

The increased focus on ethical decision making in the accounting profession has resulted in greater attention being paid to the education of future accountants. Texas is one of the states that requires a State Board approved university course in Accounting Ethics to be on the transcript of prospective CPA candidates. This study reports on research using senior/graduate level accounting majors at a Texas state university before the university course requirement and after the requirement. The survey presented four vignettes for the students to consider (i.e., 2 describe an ethical decision and 2 describe an unethical decision). Students were requested to …


Student Cheating Habits: A Predictor Of Workplace Deviance, Sharron M. Graves Jan 2008

Student Cheating Habits: A Predictor Of Workplace Deviance, Sharron M. Graves

Faculty Publications

Unethical behavior seems to be increasing exponentially in every facet of today's business environment. Property and production deviance are just two of the unethical behaviors exhibited by employees. According to a study conducted by S. Nonis and C. Swift (2001), students who engage in dishonest acts in college classes are more likely to engage in dishonest acts in the workplace. Research conducted during the three year period 2002 - 2005 by Don McCabe in conjunction with The Center for Academic Integrity at Duke University reveals that 70 percent of the 50,000 undergraduate students surveyed admit to some cheating (McCabe 2005). …


Assessing Jit Performance: An Econometric Approach, Adam Maiga Jan 2008

Assessing Jit Performance: An Econometric Approach, Adam Maiga

Faculty Bibliography

This paper uses a sample of 131 just‐in‐time (JIT) firms and their matched non‐JIT firms obtained from Kinney and Wempe with 1977–1995 Compustat data to assess whether the relationship between JIT adoption and firm performance is endogenous. Results indicate a significant positive association between JIT adoption and firm performance and strongly indicate that the decision to adopt JIT is endogenous. We also show that asset productivity, sales growth, and leverage, are important in explaining the effect of JIT adoption on performance and that firm characteristics are an important contributor to unobserved heterogeneity. Furthermore, the econometric analyses in the form of …

An Analysis Of Restatements Due To Errors And Auditor Changes By Fortune 500 Companies, James H. Thompson, Timothy L. Mccoy

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Business

Events leading to the breakup of Arthur Anderson and Co. included the failure of Enron and other evidence of financial reporting irregularities. Many of these irregularities involved restatement of financial statements due to error. During the last several years, numerous articles in the accounting literature and accounting press have chronicled such restatements and the often associated change in auditor. This paper analyzes restatements due to error and auditor changes made by Fortune 500 companies during 2001 and 2002 in order to assess whether restatements due to error lowered or raised income and whether companies with income-decreasing errors showed a greater …

Accounting Historians Journal

In the last decade, an increasing number of analyses of accounting history literature have been undertaken to classify historical research paths and to map the variety of approaches and issues of the discipline in different geographical settings so as to make international comparisons. The paper develops these topics in the Italian context by studying the development of accounting history research (AHR) in the last 15 years. Contributions by Italian authors have been published in international and national specialist journals as well as in more general accounting journals.

Early Books On Investing At The Dawn Of Modern Business In America, Joel E. Thompson Jan 2008

Early Books On Investing At The Dawn Of Modern Business In America, Joel E. Thompson

Accounting Historians Journal

The purpose of this study is to enhance understanding of early investment practices and the role financial and other information played in those practices. The primary method employed is to examine early books on investing published in the U.S. Early authors described stock market operations including manipulations of security prices by the bulls and the bears. Their solution to this manipulation was to educate investors and provide company information, mostly through directories and manuals. This study shows that financial and other information was thought by the authors to be critically important at the time that the securities markets were first …


State And Local Government Accounting In 19th Century America: A Review Of The Literature, Stephanie D. Moussalli Jan 2008

State And Local Government Accounting In 19th Century America: A Review Of The Literature, Stephanie D. Moussalli

Accounting Historians Journal

Although 19th century America offers a natural experiment in government accounting practices and voluminous original records still exist, a review of the literature on the period's state and local government accounting finds few secondary articles and almost no contemporary literature before 1875. After that, reformers, decrying the municipal accounting practices of their time, wrote profusely so that some secondary studies of that literature exist. The governmental financial records of the 1800s varied in quality from excellent to scandalous and would, if properly sampled and described, not only fill the gaps in our knowledge of 19th century government accounting and fiscal …

Study Of The Impact Of Special Interest Groups On Major Tax Reform: Agriculture And The 1913 Income Tax Law, Douglas K. Barney, Tonya K. Flesher

Accounting Historians Journal

Farmers have benefited from unique tax treatment since the beginning of the income tax law. This paper explores agricultural influences on the passage of the income tax in 1913, using both qualitative and quantitative analysis. The results show that agricultural interests were influential in the development and passage of tax/tariff laws. The percentage of congressmen with agricultural ties explains the strong affection for agriculture. Discussion in congressional debates and in agricultural journals was passionate and patriotic in support of equity for farmers. The quantitative analysis reveals that the percentage farm population was a significant predictor of passage of the 16th …

Accounting Historians Journal

As a teacher, author, and leader in the profession, he figured prominently in the elevation of accountancy. Hardcastle is relatively unknown in the literature except for having the distinction of scoring the highest grades on the first CPA exam in New York in 1896. However, he was well respected during his time as one of the premier theorists in accounting and was awarded an honorary degree of Master of Letters by …

An Investigation Of Real Estate Investment Decision-Making Practices, Edward J. Farragher, Arline Savage Jan 2008

An Investigation Of Real Estate Investment Decision-Making Practices, Edward J. Farragher, Arline Savage

Accounting

This survey investigation reports on the investment decision-making processes used by equity investors in real estate. The survey covers the entire investment decision-making process, from setting strategy to auditing operating performance. Respondents identify the most important stages of the process as searching for investment opportunities, forecasting expected returns, and evaluating forecasted returns. Most believe that individual project factors are more important than strategic and portfolio factors, and that returns should be measured on a before-tax cash flow basis and evaluated using discounted cash flow measures. Respondents are more concerned with project than portfolio risk and are unlikely to make a …

Market For Luca Pacioli's Summa Arithmetica, Alan Sangster, Gregory N. Stoner, Patricia Mccarthy Jan 2008

Market For Luca Pacioli's Summa Arithmetica, Alan Sangster, Gregory N. Stoner, Patricia Mccarthy

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper looks at an aspect of Luca Pacioli and his Summa Arithmetica that has not previously been explored in detail the market for which he wrote the book. In order to do so, it follows a path identified by two clues in the bookkeeping treatise as to the nature of this market that modern eyes, unaware of how life was in late 15th century Italy, have missed. After discussing the curriculum taught in schools at that time, this paper considers a range of possible markets for which the book may have been written. The paper concludes that it was …
