The purpose of my dissertation is to examine whether competition among audit partners affects audit quality. While prior research on audit market competition focuses on audit firm-level or office-level analyses, I argue that audit partners, as the primary decision makers in providing audit services, are likely to engage in competitive actions in the audit market. Further, I use spatial distance among audit partners to measure partner-level competition. I conjecture that spatial distance could better reflect the dynamics of audit market competition than the Herfindahl index, the traditional pro

The approach to the ex post facto study is quantitative and utilizes data from the Student Information System at Appalachian State University and from tutoring contact sheets. Areas of data presentation include analysis of covariance results for e

Abstract:

<p>Ofta fokuseras det på större företag i undervisningen, men verkligheten är den att de flesta företag i Sverige är små eller medelstora. Det finns olika definitioner av vad ett småföretag är, men ingen är mer rätt än någon annan och i denna uppsats kommer EU:s definition att användas. Alla företag, stora som små, har någon/några som vill ta del av företagets ekonomiska information. De små företagen har oftast inte lika många intressenter som de stora företagen, och därför är det sannolikt att de inte behöver en lika komplicerad och detaljerad redovisning. Dessa mindre företag har under en lä

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Poängen med entreprenörskap är enligt många att skapa en lönsamhet. Det är lönsamheten som driver företagarna framåt. För att skapa en lönsamhet krävs kunskap inom ekonomistyrningsområdet och dess verktyg som kan användas för att skapa en lönsamhet. I november 2012 fanns det enligt Statistiska Centralbyrån, SCB (2012) cirka 7500 stycken medel – och stora företag, samtidigt som småföretagen uppgick till cirka 35 000 stycken. Delar av dagens litteratur riktar sig främst mot större företag, därför vill denna studie istället rikta sig mot småföretag. Studien syftar till att belysa om små

Abstract:

Pacific business sustainability in New Zealand is important for the economic and social wellbeing of the Pacific Island people who have chosen New Zealand as their home. As with many ethnic minorities businesses overseas, Pacific businesses struggle to survive in a foreign commercial environment that is often not aligned to the value systems and customs of their country of origin. This study seeks to determine the key financial and entrepreneurial drivers of business sustainability for Tongan businesses as a specific group within the Pacific Island business sector.

Abstract:

This study tests a theoretical model developed to investigate the impact of assimilation of commercial open source enterprise resource planning software (COSES) in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Specifically, the model explains how the top management team’s (TMT’s) information technology (IT) knowledge and experience impact both assimilation and firm performance. The hypotheses were tested using survey data from SMEs that have implemented COSES. Results from structural equation modeling suggest that SMEs benefit, through higher levels of assimilation and performance, from adopting

Contribuíram com a formação de 27% do Produto Interno Bruto em 2011 (SEBRAE, 2014) e geraram 52% dos empregos formais no país em 2012 (SEBRAE, 2013). Apesar disso, 24,4% desses empreendimentos desaparecem nos primeiros dois anos de vida (SEBRAE, 2013). Essas empresas são os principais clientes dos contadores e escritórios contábeis que prestam, geralmente, serviços de escrita contábil, escrita fiscal, departamento pessoal e de abertura, alterações e encerramento de empresas.
