Abstract:

Using a corporate governance scorecard (Corp-Gov Score) measuring twenty-six areas of corporate governance best practices in four UK banks, this study examined whether improved levels of corporate governance led to higher levels of firm performance within the UK banking industry over the time period 1999-2006. The twenty-six measures were split into four sub-sector areas of Corp-Gov Score comprising Board of Directors, Remuneration Policies, Auditing Policies, and Transparency/Disclosure Policies. Using both correlation and regression analysis on the information extracted from the Annual Reports, the study provides evidence about the extent to which UK banks have complied with recent corporate governance reforms post Enron. The results indicate that improvements in corporate governance can enhance the performance of UK banks when measuring using Return on Equity. The biggest sub-sector driver of this improvement is in the area of the Board of Directors. Our results further indicate that large boards within UK banks can have a negative impact on firm performance, and that increases in directors’ remuneration does not lead to increased levels of firm performance. Evidence is given that corporate governance within UK banks plays an important role, but how it affects firm performance is open to debate.

Abstract:

Corporate governance is a central and dynamic aspect of business. The term governance is derived from the latin word gubernare, meaning to steer. It usually applies to the steering of a ship. Thus, this implies that corporate governance involves the function of direction rather than control. Corporate governance has come to the forefront of academic research due to the vital role it plays in the overall health of economic systems. Corporate governance was long ignored as a matter of potential importance for the development of a nation’s economy. The wave of U.S. corporate fraud in the 1990s was attributed to deficiencies in corporate governance. The recent 2008-2009 global financial crisis, triggered by the unprecedented failure of Lehman Brothers and the subprime mortgage problems, renewed interest on the role of corporate governance in the financial sector. The development of a strong corporate governance framework is important to protect stakeholders, maintain investor confidence in the transition countries, and attract foreign direct investment. This paper looks at the collapse of Enron and the Parmalat, which was a particular Italian scandal. Parmalat, Enron, and other American firms such as Tyco and WorldCom all have a number of fudging at their core – efforts to make the companies look healthier than they were. Parmalat’s collapse began in November when its auditor raised questions about a $135 million derivatives profit. After additional evidence of accounting misstatements, the company’s chief executive and founder, Calisto Tanzi, resigned on the 15th of December. Four days later, the company disclosed the fake Bank of America letter. On the 23rd of December, Italian investigators stated that the company had used dozens of offshore companies to report non-existent assets to offset themselves. This was as much as $11 billion in liabilities. Also, this is in addition to the fact that Parmalat might have been falsifying its accounting figures for as long as 15 years.

Abstract:

<p>Satyam Computers were once the crown jewel of Indian IT industry, however, the debacle of Satyam raised a debate about the role of CEO in driving a company to the heights of success and its relation with the board members and core committees. The scam brought to the light the role of corporate governance (CG) in shaping the protocols related to the working of audit committees and duties of board members. The Satyam scam was a jolt to the market, especially to Satyam stockholders. This paper attempts an in-depth analysis of India’s Enron, Satyam Computer’s “creative-accounting” scandal. In public companies, this type of ‘creative’ accounting leading to fraud and investigations are, therefore, launched by the various governmental oversight agencies. The accounting fraud committed by the founders of Satyam in 2009 is a testament to the fact that “the science of conduct is swayed in large by human greed, ambition, and hunger for power, money, fame and glory.” Scandals have proved that “there is an urgent need for good conduct based on strong corporate governance, ethics and accounting & auditing standards.” The Satyam scandal highlights the importance of securities laws and CG in emerging markets. Indeed, Satyam fraud “spurred the government of India to tighten the CG norms to prevent recurrence of similar frauds in future.” Thus, major financial reporting frauds need to be studied for ‘lessons-learned’ and ‘strategies-to-follow’ to reduce the incidents of such frauds in the future. The increasing rate of white-collar crimes “demands stiff penalties, exemplary punishments, and effective enforcement of law with the right spirit.”</p><h2> </h2>

Abstract:

At the present stage of development of science and practice of audit, its theory is presented in fragments. In the period before the emergence of mass public discontent with the work of auditors (which was a consequence of the collapse of Enron, WorldCom, Parmalat and other institutions), the main efforts of scientists were aimed at substantiating the needs of audit, its methods, principles, concepts, and postulates. Today, the need to concentrate efforts on the search for a qualitatively new, ideological level of audit theory is obvious. The purpose of the article is to reveal the essence of the classical core of audit theory, as well as to substantiate the need to expand the content of audit theory by borrowing provisions from other modern general economic and accounting theories. The authors have established the weaknesses of the theories (concepts) of audit, among them: a contradictory, non-systemic explanation of the nature of audit; limitation of scientific borrowings from other economic and accounting theories; weak connection with the development of social and economic theories. The necessity for the formation of the classical core of the audit theory was substantiated; its essence and significance for the development of audit science were revealed. The logic of the determination of concepts and the classification of individual theoretical contributions to the classical core of the audit theory was put in order. A structural model of the development of science and practice of audit was proposed. The necessity of basic ideological and general economic borrowings to the audit theory was substantiated, among them: institutional and behavioral doctrines; concepts of sustainable development and digital economy; modern management theories (integral ideological structure). Based on the trends in the development of the digital economy, the emergence of the specialization of an IT auditor was predicted, whose task will be to assess the effectiveness of setting up digitalization processes to objectively reflect the effectiveness of business.

Abstract:

A decade of corporate scandals has highlighted a lack of ethical decision making skills among business leaders. Reasons for this deficiency vary from an absence of ethical teaching in the home to a failure of American corporate culture. In 2002, the situation reached a critical point with scandals such as Enron and Tyco forcing a Congressional response in the form of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Questions concerning corporate leaders’ ability to act ethically again resurfaced in the wake of the recent financial collapse of giants such as AIG and Citigroup, creating a debate over what lessons were learned from the Sarbanes- Oxley experience. MBA curriculums are major stakeholders in this debate. MBA programs are venues where the majority of our business leaders learn the critical skills needed to succeed. The purpose of this study was to assess the treatment of ethics in core MBA curriculums in Ohio in response to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The study determined that MBA programs in Ohio failed to adjust their core curriculums in response to the new demand for increased ethics instruction. Further, it determined that private and public institutions reacted to the legislation in a similar manner. It also revealed that private and public institutions traditionally approach ethics instruction differently.

Abstract:

Purpose – This paper aims to examine a management control constructed by senior managers, a core value focused on sustainability, as it travels through time and space. The criticality of sustainable development suggests the need to understand the effects that core values have on organisational actions. Design/methodology/approach – A case study methodology carried out at a multinational organisation is used. This analysis was informed by an actor-network theory which allowed placing the organisation’s sustainability focused core value at the centre of this research. Findings – It was found that management control, in the form of a sustainability-focused core value, took on an active role in the case organisation. This enabled the opening of space and time that allowed actors to step forward and take action in relation to sustainable development. It is shown how the core value mobilised individual actors at specific points in time but did not enrol enough collective support to continue its travel. The resulting activities, though, provided a construction of sustainable development within the organisation more in line with traditional profit-seeking objectives rather than in relation to sustainability objectives, such as inter- and intra-generational equity. Research limitations/implications – These findings suggest possibilities for future research that examines the active role that management controls may take within sustainable development. Originality/value – This paper shows the active role a management control, a sustainability focused core value, took within an organisation. This builds on the research that examines management control in relation to sustainability issues and sustainable development as well as the literature that examines core values.

Abstract:

TPS5614 Background: Many gynaecological cancers of different pathological type express estrogen and/or progesterone hormone receptors (ER/PR). Reports of tumour response and clinical benefit with hormonal therapies show variable rates of activity. There is a need to prospectively study the role of aromatase inhibitors in women with potentially hormone responsive recurrent gynaecological cancers to establish response rates, clinical benefit, quality of life (QoL) and identify predictors of response. Methods: PARAGON is phase II Gynecologic Cancer InterGroup trial lead by the Australia New Zealand Gynaecological Oncology Group, Cancer Research UK and the Belgian Gynaecological Oncology Group. The study is designed to facilitate research in rare tumours. The protocol allows postmenopausal women with recurrent gynaecological cancers to enrol into one of 7 subgroups; epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) with only rising CA125 after first line chemotherapy, platinum resistant/refractory EOC, low grade EOC, endometrial carcinomas, endometrial stromal sarcomas, miscellaneous sarcomas and granulosa cell tumours and other sex cord stromal tumours. ER/PR positivity must be confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Each subgroup will enrol 25-50 patients with defined stopping rules based on response and reviewed by independent data monitoring committee (IDMC). Eligible patients receive 1 mg anastrozole daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary objective: clinical benefit (partial or complete response or stable disease). Secondary objectives: progression free survival, response duration, QoL, toxicity. Blood and tumour samples are being collected for translational studies and confirmation of ER/PR positivity. Recruitment commenced in 2011 in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. One hundred and fourteen of 350 planned patients have been enrolled to January 2013. In November 2012 IDMC recommended continuing recruitment to the EOC with rising Ca125 only and resistant/refractory subgroups based on review of activity outcomes for the first 25 patients. The trial will open in Belgium in April 2013. ACTRN12610000796088 Clinical trial information: 12610000796088.

Abstract:

Seminario para optar al título de Ingeniero Comercial
En la universidad aprendemos mucha teoría que nos intenta explicar de una manera relativamente simple como se comportan ciertos fenómenos de nuestra vida cotidiana y como reaccionan ante movimientos de otros factores que los determinan. Pero estas teorías están basadas en una serie de supuestos, los cuales los alejan de la realidad y la práctica, lo cual hace sentirse inseguro a los alumnos cuando llega el momento de entrar al campo laboral. En los últimos años, y sobre todo en las escuelas de negocios, se ha venido incorporando un sistema que intenta explicar la realidad con la realidad, es decir, un método por el cual el alumno adquiera los conocimientos teóricos que le expliquen de que manera se comportan las cosas, pero con la salvedad que los esta aprendiendo en la práctica. Nos referimos al sistema de resolución de casos, en donde, el profesor orienta a los alumnos y los insta a participar de la discusión de cómo se llegó a resolver por alguna empresa en particular, algún tipo de problema ya fuese financiero, económico, o de cualquier otra naturaleza. Es por esta razón y motivado por nuestro profesor guía, quien posee una vasta experiencia en la publicaciones de casos chilenos, que he desarrollado dos temas: el primero trata de una de las quiebras más grandes que han ocurrido en el último tiempo, la de Enron Corp., la cual fue provocada principalmente por una serie de artificios contables, la avaricia de los principales administrativos, los vacíos en la regulación del sector de este tipo de empresa , etc. El segundo caso trata de la quiebra de una empresa chilena, CRAV S.A., la cual fue de gran envergadura para la época en que se produjo (en la década de los ochenta). Esta fue provocada principalmente por la caída en los precios en el mercado azucarero, el cual era muy volátil. Los administradores, a pesar de conocer estas características de este mercado, no se protegieron adecuadamente.

Abstract:

Financial fraud remains one of the most discussed topics in literature. The financial scandals of Enron, WorldCom, Qwest, Global Crossing, and Tyco resulted in approximately 460 billion dollars of loss. The detection of financial fraud, therefore, has become a critical task for financial practitioners. Three factors determine the likelihood of fraud occurrence, including pressure, opportunity, and rationalization. The core of these factors lies in people's beliefs and behaviour. Due to the unpredictability and uncertainty in fraudsters' incentives and techniques, fraud detection requires a skill set that encompasses both diligence and judgment. Big data technologies have had a huge impact on a wide variety of industries because they tend to be ubiquitous, starting in the last decade and continuing today.

Abstract:

Risk management is a core element from a strategic and operational point of view. Conditions of the environment, financial scandals like Enron and Worldcom, globalization, and new technologies make risk a priority for companies that want to keep a sustainable competitive advantage under uncertainty. In line with these, there are several frameworks, initiatives, and ways to approach risk under a structure organization and integrated approach, including the development of internal control standards like Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX). One of the elements to be considered when taking optimum decisions is a proper risk management. In this chapter, the key elements of assets risk management will be exposed, starting from main concepts, constructing the elements that are applicable to build a risk management system, and developing a practical example under SOX framework with a management and system approach.

Abstract:

In late 1941, following my 18th birthday, a normal next phase would have been two further terms at boarding school, with an option for scholarship holders to proceed to a shortened University degree course before joining up. But over that Christmas my teenage imagination was fired by a tale from my father concerning a mysterious establishment at Bedford. He had it on the authority of the then War Minister, Sir James Grigg, that as preparation for doing something unspecified but romantic behind enemy lines there were opportunities to sign up for a Japanese course starting in a couple of months’ time. I duly journeyed to Bedford and presented myself at the address given. My request to enrol elicited from the Intelligence Corps officer at Bedford a somewhat puzzled reply: ‘Who told you that we have a Japanese course now? That particular exercise is planned for the autumn.’ Noting my confusion he added: ‘But we have courses on codebreaking. There’s a new intake just starting. Would that interest you instead? I’ll have someone find you a billet nearby. Be back here at 9 a.m. Monday.’ In the Second World War one did not mess about. Returning to the London suburbs just long enough to pack a suitcase, I was back and signed in to the School of Codes and Ciphers, Official Secrets Act and all, on the Monday morning. With the rest of the new class I was soon held in thrall by our instructor, a certain Captain Cheadle, and by the black arts of codes and ciphers. With nothing to occupy my evenings, I arranged to have my own key to the building and classroom. My habit became to return after hours to the texts and exercises. The resulting accelerated learning curve made my selection inevitable when a Colonel Pritchard arrived from Bletchley. He was on a mission to recruit for the new section that was being formed by Ralph Tester to follow up John Tiltman’s and William Tutte’s successive coups—the hope was that breaking and reading Tunny traffic could be placed on a regular basis.
