Client Size, Auditor Specialization And Fraudulent Financial Reporting, Joseph Carcello, Albert Nagy Dec 2015

Client Size, Auditor Specialization And Fraudulent Financial Reporting, Joseph Carcello, Albert Nagy

Albert Nagy

This study examines the effect that client size has on the relation between industry-specialist auditors and fraudulent financial reporting. Most of the major accounting firms have organized their audit practices along industry lines, reflecting a belief that industry specialization leads to higher quality audits. Furthermore, regulatory bodies and extant research suggests that larger clients have greater bargaining power and are more likely to be able to convince the auditor to acquiesce to aggressive accounting. Also, it may be more difficult for an auditor to possess industry expertise for larger clients who are likely to be more complex and operate in …


Audit Firm Tenure And Fraudulent Financial Reporting, Joseph Carcello, Albert Nagy Dec 2015

Audit Firm Tenure And Fraudulent Financial Reporting, Joseph Carcello, Albert Nagy

Albert Nagy

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002) required the U.S. Comptroller General to study the potential effects of requiring mandatory audit firm rotation. The General Accounting Office (GAO) concludes in its recently released study of mandatory audit firm rotation that “mandatory audit firm rotation may not be the most efficient way to strengthen auditor independence” (GAO 2003, Highlights). However, the GAO also suggests that mandatory audit firm rotation could be necessary if the Sarbanes-Oxley Act's requirements do not lead to improved audit quality (GAO 2003, 5).We examine the relation between audit firm tenure and fraudulent financial reporting. Comparing firms cited for fraudulent reporting …

An Environmentally Enlightened Accounting, Jesse Dillard, Darrell Brown, Scott Marshall Nov 2004

An Environmentally Enlightened Accounting, Jesse Dillard, Darrell Brown, Scott Marshall

Business Faculty Publications and Presentations

Environmental stewardship must become a primary concern if management is to adequately fulfill its societal responsibilities. Management and accounting information systems must aggressively respond to these emerging requirements in order to support adequately the associated information needs as well as to design organizational systems that motivate and facilitate desired behavior. Our purpose here is to consider a framework useful for developing environmentally enlightening management and accounting information systems that take into account alternative environmental perspectives. The framework can be used to develop prototypes representing different levels of environmental enlightenment and, as such, can provide general guidance for moving collectives and …


Corporate Governance Ratings: Good Or Bad?, Dana R. Hermanson Nov 2004

Corporate Governance Ratings: Good Or Bad?, Dana R. Hermanson

Faculty and Research Publications

If something is important, eventually it gets measured. The last several years clearly have demonstrated that corporate governance is important, so it is no surprise that an industry has emerged to provide ratings of companies' corporate governance. There are several governance ratings providers, and three have been chosen that illustrate the types of rating systems currently in use: 1. Institutional Shareholder Services, 2. Corporate Library-Board Effectiveness Ratings, and 3. Governance Metrics International. For each service, the rating system's purpose, methodology, and criteria are presented. What is good about governance ratings? The ratings further promote the importance of good governance, and …

St. Louis Exposition Of 1904 And The Accountants' Congress, Sept 26-28: Their History Revised For 2004, David A.R. Forrester Oct 2004

St. Louis Exposition Of 1904 And The Accountants' Congress, Sept 26-28: Their History Revised For 2004, David A.R. Forrester

Accounting Historians Notebook

This two-day congress of accountants was held in September, 1904 during the St. Louis International Exposition. The importance of the congress for the federation of certified accountants across the United States is here confirmed. But the opportunities and intellectual challenges exposed at St. Louis, as at earlier European expositions, featured little for these pragmatic practitioners. More seriously for those claiming that an international accounting congress series began at St. Louis, an examination of its planning, agenda and participation reveals an Anglo-Saxon bias which was natural for that time. This bias was countered only by one Dutch accountant who arrived late …
