تسعير الخدمة التعليمية في الجامعات والكليات الأهلية العراقية, غازي معين فيصل, خولة حسين حمدان

Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences

يهدف البحث الى دراسة الأسس التي تعتمدها الجامعات والكليات الأهلية العراقية عند تسعيرها للخدمة التعليمية وبيان أسباب التفاوت في رسوم الخدمة التعليمية وتحديد الأساليب المناسبة التي يجب تطبيقها عند تسعير الخدمة التعليمية. وتم جمع البيانات عن طريق الاستمارة الإلكترونية المحكمة من قبل مختصين والتي وزعت على الجامعات والكليات الأهلية العراقية بواقع (4) جامعات أهلية ، (18) كلية أهلية لتحقيق اهداف البحث. وتوصل البحث الى مجموعة من الاستنتاجات أهمها : تركز الجامعات والكليات الأهلية على تحديد رسوم الخدمة التعليمية وفق أساس واحد للتسعير دون دراسة جميع العوامل المؤثرة على قرارات التسعير ،مما قد يؤدي الى زيادة العائد في اختصاصات معينة ولكن …

التنويع الاقتصادي في العراق بين تحديات الحاضر وامكانات المستقبل, حيدر طالب موسى Mar 2010

التنويع الاقتصادي في العراق بين تحديات الحاضر وامكانات المستقبل, حيدر طالب موسى

Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences

أن المتتبع لمسيرة الاقتصاد العراقي يرى بأن مراحله الاقتصادية وحتى السياسية والتي نشير لها هنا كونها لعبت الدور الابرز في رسم السياسات الاقتصادية قد جعلته أقتصاداً ريعياً بامتياز على الرغم من وفرة الموارد البشرية والمادية ، ,وعلى الرغم من هذه الوفرة الأ انه لم تبذل جهود جدية مبنية على أسس علمية للهروب من الفخ الريعي بل كانت الجهود تمثل في جوهرها منهجاً سياسياً ذو صبغة أقتصادية ، بحيث لم يتبنى القائمين على السياسة الاقتصادية منهجاً صحيحاً يقوم على استثمار الفوائض النفطية العالية ، بل بالعكس من ذلك أصبحت تبنى الموازنات العامة للدولة العراقية على أساس سعر النفط العالمي مما أنعكس …

اثر الوعي الضريبي في زيادة العوائد الضريبية دراسة تحليلية في الهيئة العامة للضرائب فرع الديوانية, علي غانم شاكر, كرار حاتم عطية

Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences

يعد الوعي ضرورة أساسية في أية قضية فهو عامل إبداع مضاف، واستناداً إلى هذا الفهم فإن مسالة الوعي بأهمية الضريبة ودورها يقود إلى انتقالها من فكرة الجباية المجردة، إلى فكرة جديدة يكون مفادها الالتزام الضريبي اختياراً حراً يمارسه الإفراد بوعي لمدلولاته المختلفة وسيقود في النهاية إلى اعتبار الضريبة واجباً وطنياً يؤول نفعها إلى الجميع بصورة أو بأخرى. ويهدف البحث الى بيان الدور المهم والفاعل الذي يمكن ان تلعبه المؤسسات بمختلف اشكالها في نشر الوعي الضريبي لدى المكلفين لما لهذا الدور من أثر واضح في تقليل حالات التهرب الضريبي وزيادة العوائد الضريبية من خلال إدراكهم أهمية الاسهام في تحمل الأعباء العامة …

Evaluation Of Cost Improvement Models When Programs Experience Unplanned Production Decreases, Anthony R. George Mar 2010

Evaluation Of Cost Improvement Models When Programs Experience Unplanned Production Decreases, Anthony R. George

Theses and Dissertations

As military and other governmental budgets decline and impacted project deadline changes require instantaneous responses, cost analysts' tasks become more and more formidable. Inaccurate estimates can lead to misappropriation of resources and can thus create delays in goods reaching warfighters. This thesis aims to avail cost estimators of more reliable projection tools and to challenge the status quo of cost estimating, the production rate cost improvement model, when programs face reductions in lot quantities. The findings reveal that the status quo proves efficient under many cost profiles, but clearly does not estimate as well when a program suffers lot quantity …

Rewriting The World Order: China's Footprint On The Credit Crisis And International Affairs, Knowledge@Smu Mar 2010

Rewriting The World Order: China's Footprint On The Credit Crisis And International Affairs, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

Tired of reading conventional theories to what caused the recent financial crisis? How about a theory that places the blame on China, for a change? Giles Chance, author of “China and the Credit Crisis”, dances between the fine lines as he gives a fresh spin on the crisis, blind Western policymakers, a global currency and the world order that is to come as the "China effect" dominates familiar Western models of capitalism, politics and diplomacy.

Continuous Controls Monitoring Can Help Defer Fraud, Sridhar Ramamoorti, Joseph Dupree Mar 2010

Continuous Controls Monitoring Can Help Defer Fraud, Sridhar Ramamoorti, Joseph Dupree

Accounting Faculty Publications

The biannual survey of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) found that US organizations lose an estimated 7 percent of annual revenues to fraud. Based on corresponding United States GDP figures from the World Bank, this percentage indicates a staggering estimate of losses — around $994 billion — among U.S. organizations, despite increased emphasis on anti-fraud controls and recent legislation to combat fraud. As the survey suggests, almost every large and small organization is potentially susceptible to fraud risk, both internally from employee theft and corruption and externally by vendors and other third parties engaged in fraud against the …

Cal Poly Organic Farm Business Plan, Eric Ryan Mccarthy

Agribusiness

This study was undertaken to determine which strategies would allow the Cal Poly Organic Farm to operate as a profitable business without compromising educational and agricultural objectives. Three strategies were analyzed to determine the most profitable approach. The first strategy, expanding CSA sales, emphasizes marketing efforts to increase products and services awareness. This should increase CSA, CPOF, merchandise, and farmers’ markets sales. The second strategy implements new CSA produce boxes that cater to specific groups. Existing produce boxes will remain available to CSA members. Expanding produce boxes can be done with the produce on hand or expanding crop selection. The …

The Pricing Of Conservative Accounting And The Measurement Of Conservatism At The Firm-Year Level, Dan Segal, Jeffrey L. Callen, Ole-Kristian Hope Mar 2010

The Pricing Of Conservative Accounting And The Measurement Of Conservatism At The Firm-Year Level, Dan Segal, Jeffrey L. Callen, Ole-Kristian Hope

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

This paper analyzes the relation between equity prices and conditional conservatism and introduces a new measure of conservatism at the firm-year level. We show that the asymmetric properties of conservative accounting, the existence of non-accounting sources of information, and the properties of GAAP related to special items combine to generate a nonlinear relation between unexpected equity returns and earnings news (the shock to expected current and future earnings). Based on this model, we construct a conservatism ratio (CR) defined as the ratio of the current earnings shock to earnings news. CR measures the proportion of the total shock to expected …

The Impact Of Corporate Social Disclosure On Investment Behavior: A Cross-National Study, Joyce Van Der Van Der Laan Smith, Ajay Adhikari, Rasoul H. Tondkar, Robert L. Andrews Mar 2010

The Impact Of Corporate Social Disclosure On Investment Behavior: A Cross-National Study, Joyce Van Der Van Der Laan Smith, Ajay Adhikari, Rasoul H. Tondkar, Robert L. Andrews

Accounting Faculty Publications

We examine the impact of corporate social disclosure (CSD) on investment behavior in the US, Japan, France, and Sweden using stakeholder theory as the underlying framework for our analysis. We find that there is a significant difference in investors’ reactions to CSD across countries. Using a unique stakeholder scale we also find that these reactions are related to the investors’ stakeholder orientation. These findings provide insight into cross-national dif- ferences in the perceived relevance of CSD to investors.

The Influence Of Foreign Operations And Their Disclosure On Earnings Quality, Sixian Yang, Fang Hu, Don E. Giacomino Mar 2010

The Influence Of Foreign Operations And Their Disclosure On Earnings Quality, Sixian Yang, Fang Hu, Don E. Giacomino

Accounting Faculty Research and Publications

This paper investigates the influence of foreign operations and their financial disclosure on earnings quality in terms of accounting conservatism (timely recognizing losses). In a large (7,311 corporate years) sample of U.S. corporations, we find earnings of firms with multinational operations (MNCs) tend to be of lower quality and are reported less conservatively than those without foreign operations (domestic firms). Further, by looking at the geographic segment information disclosed by MNCs, we find that earnings conservatism gets improved if a MNC reports “clean” segment information of foreign operations; wherein operating results of MNC are broken down by geographic regions (continent …

Corporate Governance, Investor Protection, And Auditor Choice In Emerging Markets, Mahmud Hossain, Chee Yeow Lim, Patricia Mui Siang Tan Mar 2010

Corporate Governance, Investor Protection, And Auditor Choice In Emerging Markets, Mahmud Hossain, Chee Yeow Lim, Patricia Mui Siang Tan

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

In this study, we examine the effect of firm-level governance on the firm's choice of an external auditor. Further, we test how the relation between corporate governance and auditor choice may be affected by the strength of legal environment. The results show that firm-level governance scores are positively related to the firm's auditor choice. This association is strengthened by country-level legal protection. Specifically, the positive association between auditor choice and the firm-level governance scores is weaker (stronger) in a low (high) legal environment. These findings are robust after controlling for determinants that were found to be significant in earlier research. …

An Economist's Take On The Opportunities And Threats That Lie Ahead For Asia, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

Say you have the ability to foresee the ups and downs of the economy; what would you do with that power? Stephen Roach's answer: Become a celebrated economist, columnist and author! His latest book, The Next Asia, is a 2006 to 2009 greatest hits collection of essays on what, he believes, are the region's shortfalls and opportunities. There is plenty to chew upon – from what Roach believes are the factors that led to the recent financial crisis to the various issues that will plague the continent's rapidly developing economies.

Audit Market Concentration And Audit Quality, Sanjay Kallapur, Srinivasan Sankaraguruswamy, Yoonseok Zang Feb 2010

Audit Market Concentration And Audit Quality, Sanjay Kallapur, Srinivasan Sankaraguruswamy, Yoonseok Zang

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

Policymakers and regulators have been concerned about the impact of audit market concentration resulting from decline in the number of audit firms due to mergers and the demise of Arthur Andersen. In this paper we find a positive association between audit market concentration (Herfindahl index) at the MSA level and audit quality (measured by discretionary accruals and the Dechow-Dichev (2002) measure of accrual quality). We control for fixed year effects, therefore our results are unlikely to be affected by the increase in concentration due to Andersen’s demise contemporaneous with an increase in audit quality because of regulatory measures such as …

User Information Risk: How It Improves Audit Quality, Jack R. Ethridge, Treba Marsh

Faculty Publications

Audited financial statements are the basis for the communication of essential financial information. Accordingly, the reliability of the financial statements is of extreme importance to all parties involved in the process. This paper identifies the three primary parties as the organization, the auditor, and the user and recommends the user play an increased role in this process. The user should be allowed to analyze the quality of the auditor and audit process based upon five critical factors that should be required to be disclosed by the auditor. This paper discusses the five factors and how each one could benefit the …

Survey Responses: Mail Versus Email Solicitations, Rodger G. Holland, Aileen Smith, James R. Hasselback, Bryson Payne

Faculty Publications

Surveys, particularly electronic surveys, are becoming popular methods of eliciting consumer responses. For example, many businesses now have survey sites printed on the bottom of receipts with some future discount as an enticement to participate. Clearly, the intent of such incentives is to stimulate participation. Surveys have also become popular in academia, but rarely are incentives offered. Clearly, those in academia also prefer a high participation rate, but without financial incentives what can be done to encourage participation? This research attempts to address that question.
