Voluntary Disclosures In Mergers And Acquisitions, Scott Allen Wandler Jan 2007

Voluntary Disclosures In Mergers And Acquisitions, Scott Allen Wandler

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Whenever there is a merger between two publicly held companies in the form of a stock transaction, the companies must provide a proxy-prospectus to their shareholders with enough information to vote on the proposed merger. The proxy-prospectus contains mandatory pro forma financial statements as if the firms had merged as of the end of the previous year. Occasionally, the proxy-prospectus contains voluntary, forward-looking information, such as projected earnings per share (EPS) or price-to-earnings (PE) ratios of the combined firm. There are two reasons that management may provide this voluntary forward-looking information: 1) management could be providing an optimistic view of …


Rate Regulation And Earnings Management: Evidence From The U.S. Electric Utility Industry, Joseph Ben Omonuk Jan 2007

Rate Regulation And Earnings Management: Evidence From The U.S. Electric Utility Industry, Joseph Ben Omonuk

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Although accounting research continues to focus on earnings management, few studies have done so within the context of a single industry, and only one study to date (Paek 2001) has investigated this phenomenon within the context of U.S. rate-regulated electric utilities. Most utilities are viewed as natural monopolies, and therefore are subjected to rate regulation. These firms are permitted to earn a prescribed rate of return on an approved rate base. Although utilities are subjected to greater scrutiny than non-regulated public companies, regulatory restraint may create incentives to manage earnings (Healy and Whalen 1999), especially coincident with a utility’s request …

A Design Science Approach To Developing And Determining Web Site Quality Dimensions For The Public Accounting Profession, Casty K. Nyaga Jan 2007

A Design Science Approach To Developing And Determining Web Site Quality Dimensions For The Public Accounting Profession, Casty K. Nyaga

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

Public Accounting (PA) firms play an important role in both the local and the international business environment. Their accounting and business services functions cut across organisations, sectors and industries. Like other professional service firms, PA firms are becoming concerned about the World Wide Web (web) since the services they offer can be delivered via the web more efficiently (eg. at a lower cost) and effectively (24/7). Thus there is a need to assess the quality of their web site. This study developed an instrument for measuring PA web site quality based on an extensive literature review which identified the previously …

Professional Ethics Executive Committee

Exposure Drafts, Comment Letters, and Statements of Position

The Committee recognizes that specific threats to meeting the objectives of the fundamental principles may arise when providing professional services to clients and employers. Because it is impossible to address in the Code every situation that creates such threats and specify the appropriate safeguards to mitigate or eliminate those threats, the proposed Framework provides guidance to members when faced with making decisions on ethical matters that are not explicitly addressed by the Code. Under no circumstances, however, may the proposed Framework be used to justify noncompliance with the prohibitions or requirements contained in the rules, interpretations, and rulings in the …

The most significant conclusions to come from the work of the above task forces were (1) a recommendation to merge the two peer review programs and (2) a recommendation to reengineer the reporting process to be more understandable and usable in light of the growing mandate that the results of peer reviews be made more widely available. The PRB has issued this exposure draft to propose those recommendations and incorporate other revisions to the Standards and related Interpretations (AICPA Professional Standards, PR Section 100) that are expected to result in a more efficient and effective Program.
