A Review Of Academic Literature On Internal Control Reporting Under Sox, Arnold Schneider, Audrey A. Gramling, Dana R. Hermanson, Zhongxia Shelly Ye

Faculty Articles

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) mandates reporting on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) by public company management and auditors. Such reporting began for fiscal years ended Nov 15, 2004 for accelerated filers and is scheduled to be fully implemented for non-accelerated filers in mid-2010. Section 404(a) of SOX requires public company management to include an assessment of the effectiveness of the company's ICFR in its annual internal control report, and Section 404(b) requires attestation by the company's auditor. The authors review the literature on internal control reporting under both Sections 302 and …

The recent wave of corporate governance disasters globally raises many eyebrows and burning questions whether audit committees (ACs) are doing the right things to effectively discharge their roles and responsibilities. To further test the integrity and reputation of the Singapore market as a listing gateway for foreign companies in turbulent times like these, the headlines are also reporting a spate of suspected and actual corporate fraud and scandals involving China-based, Singapore listed companies (commonly referred to as “S-chips”). Many angry investors and the public question whether ACs and independent directors are doing their jobs.

Disclosure Quality And The Mispricing Of Accruals And Cash Flow, Michael S. Drake, James N. Myers, Linda A. Myers Jan 2009

Disclosure Quality And The Mispricing Of Accruals And Cash Flow, Michael S. Drake, James N. Myers, Linda A. Myers

Faculty Publications

In this paper, we investigate the role that disclosure quality plays in the accurate valuation of accruals and cash flow. We predict that stock prices of firms with higher-quality disclosures more accurately reflect the persistence of accruals and cash flow. We test our predictions using analyst ratings of disclosure published in the annual Association for Investment Management and Research (AIMR) Corporate Information Committee Reports for the years 1982 through 1996. The results provide strong evidence of mispricing for the subset of firms with lower-quality disclosures and of a significant reduction in mispricing for the subset of firms with higher-quality disclosures. …

Characteristics Of Accounting Faculty In The U.S., Ravindra R. Kamath, Heidi H. Meier, Edward G. Thomas

Business Faculty Publications

In this article, the academic and personal characteristics of Accounting faculty members at Colleges and Universities in the United States are analyzed to determine the demographics of the Accounting Professorate. Data on 12 variables were collected for the 2004-2005 academic year as a means of constructing a professional profile of the typical accounting professor teaching at today’s universities. Given that there are anticipated shortages of accounting faculty, this information should be of interest to students who are considering accounting as a major, those contemplating entering the profession, and those faculty members who are engaged in educating the next generation of …


The Balanced Scorecard As A Strategy-Evaluation Tool: The Effects Of Implementation Involvement And A Causal-Chain Focus, William B. Tayler Jan 2009

The Balanced Scorecard As A Strategy-Evaluation Tool: The Effects Of Implementation Involvement And A Causal-Chain Focus, William B. Tayler

Faculty Publications

This paper uses an experiment to examine whether involvement in scorecard implementation can mitigate the effects of motivated reasoning that occur when the scorecard is framed as a causal chain rather than merely as a balanced set of measures. Psychological research on motivated reasoning suggests that managers will evaluate and interpret data in ways consistent with their preferences, increasing their tendency to arrive at conclusions that are consistent with their desired conclusions (Kunda 1990). Consistent with that research, results of my study show that managers who are involved in selecting strategic initiatives perceive those initiatives as having been more successful …


Earnings Misstatements, Restatements, And Corporate Governance, William G. Heninger, Yongtae Kim, Sandeep Nabar Jan 2009

Earnings Misstatements, Restatements, And Corporate Governance, William G. Heninger, Yongtae Kim, Sandeep Nabar

Faculty Publications

High profile financial restatements from companies like Enron, Worldcom, Healthsouth, and Tyco as well as less celebrated restatements from such companies as Red Hat, Nortel, and Bristol-Myers Squibb have shaken public trust in the U.S. capital market. The restating companies have watched their credit ratings drop, market values erode, and occasionally even faced bankruptcy (Palmrose et al. 2004; Hirschey et al. 2005). The preponderance of restatements, in part, led to the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which reemphasized the need for, and the importance of, strong corporate governance.


Interlinkages Between Equity, Currency, Precious Metals And Oil Markets: An Emphasis On Emerging Markets, Lucia Morales Jan 2009

Interlinkages Between Equity, Currency, Precious Metals And Oil Markets: An Emphasis On Emerging Markets, Lucia Morales

Other resources

This thesis examines the interlinkages between equity, currency, precious metals and oil markets. The study follows an international approach with a special focus on emerging markets in Europe, Asia and Latin America, but without forgetting the importance of the G-7 that represents the most developed markets. The present research also focuses on the existence of interlinkages between these markets and the currency, oil, and precious metals markets. The author of this thesis considered it appropriate to implement such an analysis due to the fact that the relationships between financial markets, currency markets and the above-mentioned commodities markets have not been …
