ظاهرة الاغراق السلعي واثاره على الاقتصاد العراقي, امل اسمر زبون, فاضل عباس كاظم

Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences

تعد ظاهرة الاغراق السلعي واحدة من التحديات التي تواجه الاقتصاد العراقي ولاسيما بعدعام2003 حيث شهد ت السوق العراقية انفتاحا كبيرا امام السلع المستوردة من مختلف دولالعالم ، وكان لهذه الظاهرة الغير مخطط لها اثر كبير على الاقتصاد العراقي في جوانبه المختلفة فقد ادت الى تراجع القطاع الصناعي والقطاع الزراعي وتزايد معدلات البطالة وزيادة الميل نحو الاستهلاك عما كان عليه سابقا وقد ساهم في استشراء هذه الظاهره هو عدم وجود قوانين تنظم الاستيراد، والضعف الواضح في اجهزة الرقابه فضلا عن تأخر الحكومات المتعاقبه في وضع الحلول لهذه الظاهره.

A Literature Review Of The Impact Of Extracurricular Activities Participation On Students' Academic Performance, Poh Sun Seow, Gary Pan

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

Extracurricular activities (ECA) have become an important component of students’ school life and many schools have invested significant resources on extracurricular activities. The authors suggest three major theoretical frameworks (zero-sum, developmental, and threshold) to explain the impact of ECA participation on students’ academic performance. The authors urge researchers to conduct future research on the impact of ECA participation so as to extend the stream of research in the accounting education literature on determinants of students’ academic performance.

Internal Control And Operational Efficiency, Qiang Cheng, Beng Wee Goh, Jae Bum Kim Oct 2014

Internal Control And Operational Efficiency, Qiang Cheng, Beng Wee Goh, Jae Bum Kim

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

In this study, we examine whether and how internal control over financial reporting affects firmoperational efficiency. We find that operational efficiency, derived from the frontier analysis, issignificantly lower among firms with material weaknesses in internal control relative to firmswithout such weaknesses. We document some evidence suggesting that effective internal controlleads to greater operational efficiency through reducing the likelihood of misappropriation ofcorporate resources and through enhancing the quality of internal reports for decision making.We also document that smaller firms benefit more from having effective internal control in termsof operational efficiency. In addition, we find that the market appears to understand the …

Accounting For Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities, Veliota Drakopoulou Sep 2014

Accounting For Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities, Veliota Drakopoulou

Business Administration - Worldwide

The goal of this research was to investigate the reasons behind the plethora of amendments of the FASB Accounting Pronouncements for Financial Instruments from 2002 to 2008. Entities have communicated their apprehensions that the existent disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, do not furnish sufficient input about how derivative and hedging activities influence an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Correspondently, in 2008 the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. The purpose of the study was to investigate the …

Board Interlocks And The Diffusion Of Disclosure Policy, Ye Cai, Dan S. Dhaliwal, Yongtae Kim, Carrie Pan Sep 2014

Board Interlocks And The Diffusion Of Disclosure Policy, Ye Cai, Dan S. Dhaliwal, Yongtae Kim, Carrie Pan

Accounting

We examine whether board connections through shared directors influence firm disclosure policies. To overcome endogeneity challenges, we focus on an event that represents a significant change in firm disclosure policy: the cessation of quarterly earnings guidance. Our research design allows us to exploit the timing of director interlocks and therefore differentiate the director interlock effect on disclosure policy contagion from alternative explanations, such as endogenous director-firm matching or strategic board stacking. We find that firms are more likely to stop providing quarterly earnings guidance if they share directors with previous guidance stoppers. We also find that director-specific experience from prior …

Family Firm Research: A Review, Qiang Cheng Sep 2014

Family Firm Research: A Review, Qiang Cheng

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

This article reviews family firm studies in the finance and accounting literature, primarily those conducted using data from the United States and China. Family owners have unique features such as concentrated ownership, long investment horizon, and reputation concerns. Given the distinguishing features of family ownership and control, family firms face unique agency conflicts. We discuss the agency problems in family firms and review the findings of recent family firm studies. We call for more research to understand the unique family effects and encourage more research on Chinese family firms. Part I of the article discusses the fundaments of family firms: …


Do Loan Loss Reserves Behave Like Capital? Evidence From Recent Bank Failures, Jeffrey Ng, Sugata Roychowdhury Sep 2014

Do Loan Loss Reserves Behave Like Capital? Evidence From Recent Bank Failures, Jeffrey Ng, Sugata Roychowdhury

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

Regulatory capital guidelines allow for loan loss reserves to be added back as capital. The evidence in this paper suggests that the influence of loan loss reserves added back as regulatory capital (hereafter referred to as “add-backs”) on bank risk cannot be explained by either economic principles underlying the notion of capital, or accounting principles underlying the recording of reserves. Specifically, we observe that in sharp contrast to the economic notion of capital as a buffer against bank failure risk, add-backs are positively associated with the risk of bank failure during the recent economic crisis. Further the positive association of …

Improving Organizational Financial Outcomes Through Flexible Leadership, Mary Kay Copeland Aug 2014

Improving Organizational Financial Outcomes Through Flexible Leadership, Mary Kay Copeland

Business Faculty/Staff Publications

The importance of both managing and leading is not a new concept. What is lacking is how each is interrelated, what components of each are critical and what combination of leadership and management skills can lead to improved leader effectiveness and organizational financial performance. The Flexible Leadership Theory (FLT) posits that key executives that are flexible leaders are: (a) more effective leaders and (b) able to strategically lead their organizations to achieve greater financial outcomes (Yukl, 2005, 2008). To date, a measurement tool to assess a leader’s propensity to be a flexible leader has not been developed and validated. This …

A Research Framework For Measuring Multiple Bottom Lines, Mary Kay Copeland Aug 2014

A Research Framework For Measuring Multiple Bottom Lines, Mary Kay Copeland

Business Faculty/Staff Publications

This paper presents a proposed framework for measuring multiple bottom lines (MBLs). MBL is a term that describes a company’s desire to not only measure its financial bottom line, but additionally create measures for important, non-financial initiatives and outcomes. The MBL concept evolved as corporate citizenship advocates argued that simply measuring a entity’s bottom line to determine whether the company was successful was not sufficient. Corporate Social Responsibility advocates argued that to truly measure a company’s achievements, the full impact of their efforts on society and the environment also needed to be computed. It was argued that each area of …
