Full textAbstract Background: The first of November 2010 the statutory auditing was abolished for small companies in Sweden. The reason for this was to give the companies the opportunity to reduce costs and increase their level of freedom of choice. This was met with resistance from the Swedish tax agency, who feared an increase of their workload and a decrease of the quality of the companies’ financial reporting. Purpose: The purpose of this essay is to find a deeper understanding of the consequences that the abolished statutory auditing brought to small companies and the tax office in the city of Örebro. Method: The empirical findings have been collected through semi structured interviews with five small companies and the tax office in Örebro. The companies were active before as well as after the abolishment of statutory auditing and were selected from an alphabetical list. The empirical findings were analysed through the terms quality, control, workload and cost efficiency. Conclusions: The abolishment of statutory auditing has not yet affected the small companies in terms of cost efficiency or workload. The Swedish tax agency has noticed some increase of their workload, but there has been no change in the quality of the companies’ financial reporting. The essay concludes that small companies keep an auditor due to the advisory role and the knowledge the auditor possesses. The need for the companies to consult an auditor seems to a greater extent depend on what knowledge about financial reporting the companies lacks rather than what is required by law. Keywords: Statutory auditing, small companies, Swedish tax agency

Full textMandatory auditing for the smallest limited companies in Sweden was abolished in 2010, mainly to reduce the cost burden for these small companies. This created different reactions among the companies' external stakeholders, both positive and negative. It was seen as positive for business in Sweden, but there was also concerns expressed about the risk of errors in the accounts and the declarations, and that they would increase when an auditor is no longer obligated to review them. These errors can result in improperly recognized tax and increased tax error. Tax error includes all errors that have an impact on the reported tax, and they can be both intentional and unintentional. Tax error affects many parties around the company, including the stakeholders operating in the social political arena, so called Stakekeepers. They do not have any direct relation to the company's business, but they have an indirect impact on the company through its influence on public opinion and legislation. These stakeholders' reactions and standingpoints is today a relatively unexplored area within the stakeholder theory, and this theoretical knowledge is important in order to create an understanding of what is happening on the social political arena. As these stakeholders have influence on legislation, the legislators must take their opinions into account in its reports on new legislative changes. During 2015, the government will undertake an assessment of the abolition of the mandatory auditing in 2010, to possibly conduct a further increase in the limits for mandatory auditing, and thus make the audit optional for more companies. The study aims to describe and explain how stakeholders in the social political arena perceive the tax error development, whether and how they relate this trend to the abolition of the mandatory auditing, and further what motivates and influences their position regarding a possible future limit raise. To meet this objective, the study was performed with a qualitative study in the form of interviews with four different stakeholders from the social political arena. The analysis of the empirical data, with the support of the theoretical framework, resulted in three conclusions. The first is about the different perceptions regarding the tax development among stakeholders in the social political arena, due to their professional skills. The second is that they are driven and influenced by their representation, particularly if they are representing the public or the private sector. The last conclusion is about the factors that affect how the stakeholders relate to a possible future limit raise. These factors are their representation, responsibility and their trust in larger companies accounting.

Full textThis thesis studies taxpayers' dynamic incentives to evade taxes. The first chapter introduces a dynamic model of tax evasion. We prove that higher limitation periods increase tax compliance. We also determine the expected tax revenues generated by retroactive and static auditing policies, with respect to the levels of tax rates and expected discounted penalties. We obtain that retroactive auditing generates higher expected tax revenues than static auditing. The second chapter provides theoretical and experimental evidence about subjects' incentives to evade taxes, with respect to a retroactive inspection policy. Our experimental results confirm theoretical predictions, i.e. higher limitation periods increase agents' compliance. The third chapter introduces a second laboratory experiment, in order to compare the efficiency of two main audit schemes: retroactive versus static auditing. We find that retroactive auditing policies are more efficient in enhancing tax compliance, than policies of static auditing accompanied by high audit rates

Full textBackground: While hearing problems in noisy environments are the main complaints of hearing-impaired people, only few studies focused on cochlear encoding mechanisms in such environments. By combining electrophysiological experiments with behavioral ones, we studied the sound encoding strategies used by the cochlea in a noisy background.Material and methods: Single unit recordings of gerbil auditory nerve were performed in response to tone bursts, presented at characteristic frequencies, in a quiet environment and in the presence of a continuous broadband noise. The behavioral audiogram was measured in the same conditions, with a method based on the inhibition of the acoustic startle response.Results: Single unit data shows that the cochlea used 2 complementary strategies to encode sound. For low frequency sounds (<3.6 kHz), the phase-locked response from the apical fibers ensure a reliable and robust encoding of the auditory threshold. For high frequencies sounds, basal fibers use a strategy based on the discharge rate, which requires a larger heterogeneity of fibers at the base of the cochlea. The behavioral audiogram measured in the same noise condition overlaps perfectly with the fibers’ threshold. This result validates our predictions made from the single fiber recordings.Conclusion: This work highlights the major role of the phase locked neuronal response for animal species that vocalize below 3 kHz (as human), especially in noisy backgrounds. At the opposite, high frequency sound encoding is based on rate information. This result emphasizes the difficulty to transpose results from murine model which communicate in the high frequencies (> 4 kHz) to human whose language is between 0.3 and 3 kHz

Full textO objetivo do presente estudo foi estimar a especificidade e taxa de falso-positivo de protocolos de triagem auditiva neonatal (TAN), realizados com os procedimentos emissões otoacústicas evocadas transientes-módulo triagem (EOAet) e potenciais evocados auditivos de tronco encefálico automático (PEATEa), de forma isolada ou combinada, aplicados em uma ou duas etapas. Participaram deste estudo 200 recém-nascidos, selecionados aleatoriamente, submetidos à triagem auditiva, no período entre Março/2006 e Julho/2006. A estimativa da taxa de falso-positivo e da especificidade foi realizada com a TAN em uma etapa e com três protocolos: protocolo 1, TAN realizada em duas etapas com EOAet; protocolo 2, TAN realizada em duas etapas com PEATEa; e protocolo 3, TAN realizada em uma etapa com dois procedimentos - teste com EOAet seguido de reteste com PEATEa para os recém-nascidos que não passaram no primeiro procedimento. Os resultados mostraram alta taxa de falso-positivo na triagem auditiva realizada em uma etapa para ambos os procedimentos. Apesar de não ter havido diferença estatisticamente significante quando comparadas as taxas de encaminhamento para diagnóstico audiológico obtidos nos protocolos com EOAet e com PEATEa, o protocolo com EOAet encaminhou 4 vezes mais recém-nascidos. O protocolo com EOAet e PEATEa apresentou a maior taxa de encaminhamento (6%), com diferença estatisticamente significante ao ser comparado com os protocolos 1 (EOAet) e 2 (PEATEa). Concluiu-se que a triagem auditiva neonatal deve ser realizada em duas etapas (teste-reteste), a fim de reduzir a taxa de falso-positivo e de encaminhamento, aumentando a especificidade; a taxa de falso-positivo e conseqüentemente a especificidade foram melhores no protocolo com PEATEa, seguido dos protocolos com EOAet e com EOAet e PEATEa.

Arbetsminnets/korttidsminnets struktur och begränsningar påverkar effektiviteten av de presentationsformer som förmedlar verbal information. Flera teorier talar för att arbetsminnet är uppdelat i en auditiv och en visuell minnesprocess.
En av hypoteserna i detta arbete går ut på att en kombination av tal och text som presentationsform skulle vara mer effektiv än enbart text eller enbart tal. En undersökning utfördes för att pröva hypotesen. Slutsatsen är att hypotesen saknar empiriskt stöd av detta arbete. Däremot framkom visst empiriskt stöd för den oriktade hypotesen att det blir en skillnad i effektivitet i jämförelsen mellan olika presentationsformer för att presentera verbal information.

INTRPDUCTION: Many different rates for ABR can be used to sensitize the exam. However, due to possible differences that can occur in the latencies and amplitudes when using ABR, it is necessary to carry out research to support the audiological diagnosis and help the clinical decision-making process. AIM: To study the influences at the two different repetition stimulus rates in the ABR in adults, neonates and premature infants. METHOD: ten normal-hearing neonates (GI), adults (GII) and premature infants (GIII) were subjected to ABR registration by air with repetition rates from 27.7 to 61.1 clicks per second (intensities: 80, 60, 40 and 20 dBHL). RESULTS: The arithmetic means and medians showed adjacent values for each combination of repetition rate and groups, which suggests that the distribution of the variables shows symmetry. Nevertheless, at 80 dBHL, the repetition rate of 61.1 clicks per second attained an absolute latency in waves I, II and V augmented in the groups GI and GIII (P=0.003, P=0* and P=0, respectively) and the amplitude in waves III and V reduced in the GI and GII (P=0.014 and P=0*). Wave III had the most reduced amplitude with a rarefied polarity (P=0.014). Moreover, the latency time during interpeak intervals I-III were higher for GI and GIII (P=0.0035); during III-V were higher for GIII (P=0*) and during I-V were higher for GI (P=0*). At 60 dBHL, the latency was higher for GI and GIII, -at 61.1 clicks per second in the three groups (P=0+)-, and the amplitude was more reduced for GI and GII (P=0,001). At 40 dBHL, two repetition rates attained a higher latency and reduced amplitude for GI and GII (P=0,005 and P=0,001, respectively); however, the three groups presented a higher latency time at 61.1 clicks per second (P=0,005). At 20 dBHL, the latency was higher for GII and GIII - 61.1 clicks per second (p=0,020)-, and the amplitude was smaller for GI and GIII (P=0,002). The exam length was higher - 27.7 click per second (P=0*)- in the three groups. CONCLUSION: Despite the latency increase and amplitude reduction, the method of raising the repetition rate of the acoustic stimuli to register electrophysiological hearing responses can be incorporated to sensitize the exam and decrease its duration
INTRODUÇÃO: O estímulo clique é utilizado para avaliar a integridade do sistema auditivo e verificar a sincronia neural. No registro do Potencial Evocado Auditivo de Tronco Encefálico (PEATE) podem ser utilizadas diferentes taxas de apresentação do clique para sensibilizar o exame. Entretanto, devido a possíveis diferenças que podem ocorrer nas latências e amplitudes no PEATE, faz-se necessária a realização de um estudo que forneça dados normativos, para fundamentar o diagnóstico audiológico e auxiliar na tomada de decisões quanto aos protocolos utilizados na prática clínica. OBJETIVO: Estudar a influência de duas taxas diferentes de repetição do estímulo clique no PEATE, em adultos, neonatos-termo e prematuros. MÉTODO: Dez neonatos-termo (GI), dez adultos (GII) e dez neonatos prétermos (GIII) com audição normal foram submetidos ao registro do PEATE por via aérea nas taxas de repetição de 27.7 e 61.1 cliques/segundo nas intensidades de 80, 60 40 e 20 dBnNA. RESULTADOS: As médias e medianas apresentaram valores próximos para cada combinação de taxa de repetição e grupos, sugerindo que a distribuição das variáveis estudadas apresenta simetria. Entretanto, na intensidade de 80 dBnNA, a taxa de repetição de 61.1 cliques/segundo obteve a latência absoluta das ondas I, III e V aumentada nos grupos GI e GIII (valor P=0,003, valor P=0+ e valor P=0+, respectivamente) e amplitude das ondas III e V reduzida no GI e GII (valor P=0,014 e valor P=0+), sendo que a onda III teve amplitude mais reduzida com a polaridade rarefeita (valor P=0,014). Além disso, o tempo de latência dos intervalos interpicos I-III foi maior para o GI e GIII (valor P=0,035); em III-V foi maior para o GIII (valor P=0+) e em I-V foi maior para o GI (valor P=0+). Em 60 dBnNA, a latência foi maior para GI e GIII, e em 61.1 cliques/segundo nos três grupos (valor P=0+), e a amplitude foi menor para GI e GIII (P=0,001). Em 40 dBnNA, as duas taxas de repetição obtiveram latência maior e amplitude menor em GI e GIII (valor P=0,005 e valor P=0,001, respectivamente); entretanto, os três grupos apresentaram tempo de latência maior em 61.1 cliques/segundo (valor P=0,005). Em 20 dBnNA, a latência foi maior para GII e GIII em 61.1 cliques/segundo (valor P=0,020), e a amplitude foi menor para GI e GIII (valor P=0,002). A média de duração do exame foi maior em 27.7 cliques/segundo (valor P=0+) nos três grupos. CONCLUSÃO: Apesar do aumento da latência e da diminuição da amplitude, o método de elevar a taxa de repetição do estímulo acústico para registrar respostas eletrofisiológicas da audição pode ser incorporado para sensibilizar o exame, investigando a integridade do sistema auditivo e a sincronia neural, com tempo de realização do exame diminuído

Objective: To investigate the cost x effectiveness of five newborn hearing screening (NHS) protocols in a public hospital in São Paulo. Methods: Clinical outcomes from 2060 newborns, screened during a nine months period, using a protocol of NHS with Transient Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAE) and Automated Auditory Brainstem Response (AABR). It was possible to analyze five protocols for cost and effectiveness. Protocol 1: UNHS with TEOAE in two stages; protocol 2: UNHS with TEOAE in the first stage, AABR in the second stage; protocol 3: UNHS - neonates without Risk Factors were screened with TEOAE in the first stage and AABR in second stage. Neonates with risk factors were screened only with AABR; protocol 4: Selective NHS (SNHS) - using TEOAE in a combination with AABR in two stages; protocol 5: SNHS - with AABR in two stages. All newborns who referred before discharge should return in 15 days for re-screen. The effectiveness of the protocols was evaluated by the indicators of quality of Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (2007) and the cost was estimated by the proposal of the National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management (2003). Results: The results were presented regarding the percentage of newborns screened, newborns referred for diagnosis and the cost per newborn screened. We found the following results: protocol 1: 92% of newborns screened, 2.1% of newborns referred for diagnosis and cost of $7.53; protocol 2: 88% of newborns screened, 0.5% of newborns referred for diagnosis and cost of $8.9; protocol 3: 86% of newborns screened, 0.6% of newborns referred for diagnosis and cost of $9.16; protocol 4: 71% of newborns screened, 7.3% of newborns referred for diagnosis and cost of $61.1; protocol 5: 71% of newborns screened, 2% of newborns referred for diagnosis and cost of $56.1. Conclusion: The protocol 3 was considered the better for cost and effectiveness in order to identify cochlear hearing loss for newborns without risk factors, and cochlear and retrocochlear hearing loss for neonates with risk factors
Objetivo: O objetivo desta pesquisa foi descrever as relações de custo x efetividade para cinco protocolos de Triagem Auditiva Neonatal (TAN), no ano de sua implementação em uma maternidade de São Paulo. Método: Durante o período de nove meses, nasceram 2060 neonatos, os quais realizaram um protocolo padrão de TAN com uso de Emissões Otoacústicas por Estímulo Transiente (EOAT) e Potencial Evocado Auditivo de Tronco Encefálico Automático (PEATE-A). Este protocolo propiciou o estudo de cinco protocolos para análise de custo e efetividade. Protocolo 1: TANU com o uso de EOAT em duas etapas; Protocolo 2: TANU com uso de EOAT na primeira etapa, PEATE-A na segunda etapa, ainda antes da alta.; Protocolo 3: TANU - neonatos sem Indicador de Risco para Perda Auditiva foi utilizada a EOAT na primeira etapa e PEATE-A ainda antes da alta para os que falharam. Para os neonatos com indicadores de risco foi utilizado o PEATE-A em duas etapas; Protocolo 4: TAN Seletiva (TANS) - com o uso de EOAT e PEATE-A combinados em duas etapas; Protocolo 5: TANS - com o uso de PEATE-A em duas etapas. Todos os neonatos que falharam no retorno foram encaminhados para diagnóstico. A efetividade dos protocolos foi avaliada pelos indicadores de qualidade do Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (2007) e o custo foi estimado por meio da proposta do National Center of Hearing Assesment and Management (2003). Resultados: Os resultados foram apresentados em relação à porcentagem de neonatos triados, neonatos encaminhados para diagnóstico e respectivo custo por neonato triado. Foram encontrados os seguintes resultados: protocolo 1: 92% de neonatos triados, 2,1% de neonatos encaminhados para diagnóstico e custo de R$13,56; protocolo 2: 88% de neonatos triados, 0,5% de neonatos encaminhados para diagnóstico e custo de R$ 16; protocolo 3: 86% de neonatos triados, 0,6% de neonatos encaminhados para diagnóstico e custo de R$16,43; protocolo 4: 71% de neonatos triados, 7,3% de neonatos encaminhados para diagnóstico e custo de R$110; protocolo 5: 71% de neonatos triados, 2% de neonatos encaminhados para diagnóstico e custo de R$101. Conclusões: Concluiu-se que o melhor protocolo na relação custo x efetividade foi o Protocolo 3, com utilização de EOAT para neonatos sem indicadores de risco, PEATEA no caso de falha antes da alta hospitalar, e apenas o PEATE-A para crianças com indicadores de risco, na TANU

Full textRisk management is an important part of business as some risks can threaten the continuity of the business. As part of risk management, organisations need to manage tax risks as tax errors have the potential to cause significant financial loss and also carry reputational and other business risks which can threaten the continuity of the business. When considering tax risks in general, it can be said that taxpayers have a risk that they are not paying the correct amount of tax. This could be could be the result of applying the law incorrectly or configuring the system incorrectly to determine the tax results of the business activities and operations. Tax professionals have the expertise to identify tax risks and recommend corrective measures from a tax technical / legal point of view, which can address both past and future risks. Internal auditors on the other hand, have the expertise to detect tax risks and recommend corrective measures from a procedure and systems point of view, which may often only address future risks. The aim of this research is to gain a better understanding of the concepts of tax risks, tax risk management, as well as the process of designing, implementing and testing internal controls to manage those risks. This will specifically include an analysis of the role of the tax function and internal audit function in effectively managing tax risks, particularly through integration.

ABSTRACT In recent years, Taiwanese corporation has been undergoing significant changes in internationalized and globalization. The amount of foreign direct investments by Taiwanese corporations has grown enormously. The stakeholder of the multinational enterprises and their CPAs tried very hard to maximize the global profit by minimize the tax burden. Tax avoidance will cause secret worry of finance, and lead to negative influence in principle of taxation in reality and fairness. In this environment of diversification, the problems the government may encounter are sophisticated. The international society pays much attention in the field of transfer pricing, anti-tax haven, anti-thin capitalization, and anti-treaty shopping, CFCs, etc. In developed countries, the tax administrations have already enacted new regulations to provide ways, means, scopes, for the cases of international taxation, most of them are following the provision of OECD guideline and the Internal Revenue Code of the United States. Meanwhile, concludes treaties with related countries to prevent the tax evaders from violation by exchange of tax information. This study is to investigate what may have been absent from the existing regulations of international tax avoidance in our country. The researches on international taxation issues have sprouted since the middle of 1980s. However, the regulations in our country are still inadequate, and need to adopt strategies to deal with the problems. The purposes of this paper are enhancing the Tax Authority of understanding the international tax strategy refer to multinational enterprises and proposing suggestions. I devote special attention to the role played by the CPAs and presented the real cases to examine whether the suggestions made in this study could be of any help.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of the audit by National Taxation Bureau on VAT declaration. We select 245 cases of value-added tax (VAT) declarations during 2010 to 2012 from real cases processed by National Taxation Bureau of the Central Area, Ministry of Finance ROC and use the ordinary least squares (OLS) linear regression analysis to perform experimental analysis of the relevance among 11 factors (independent variables) and VAT rate (dependent variable). The empirical results reveal that neither tax penalties nor adjustments of sales by tax auditing have the significant effect on reduction of tax evasion for the following years. However, there is improvement in the rate of VAT declaration. There are significant effects on VAT arising from such factors as Certified Public Accountant (CPA) tax attestation, differences of net profit, differences of gross margin, differences of debt ratio, differences of inventory over sales, and differences of owners' current account over sales. The results help the tax authority to formulate sampling strategy.

Research on Business Income Tax Auditing System of Taiwan Since the year of 1990, the tax authority of Republic of China uses the"dishonest reporting rate" of business income tax to select cases forexamination. However, the amount of business income tax revenue reducedseverely in the next year. It was recovered to that obtained in the year of1990 until 1993. The relation between the magnitude of dishonest reportingrate and the amount of supplementary business income tax is studied in thispaper. Our empirical study indicates that the correlation between the twofactors is not significant. This explains that the way of our tax authoritychoosing cases for examination is helpless in locating the business havinglarge amount of supplementary business income tax. To improve this drawback,we propose a method to select cases for examination. The method is to firstestimate the supplementary business income tax for each business. Using thetwo factors of gross profit rate and expense rate and the principle of thelarger the better in the field of experimenta l design, the resultingestimates are then rearranged in descending order. The sequence of theseordered estimates are proposed to be that of the business for examination. Ourempirical study indicates that there is a significant positive correlationbetween the sequence of these ordered estimates and the ranks of theircorresponding true supplementary business income tax revenue. This resultdemonstrates that the proposed method is helpful in simply locating thebusiness having large amount of suppleme ntary business income tax. Hence itis helpful in increasing business income tax revenue.

Profit-seeking Enterprises Income Tax is one of the main incomes for the government, especially those certified by accountants. Due to lack of number in auditors, it is impossible to check every tax return cases. Therefore an efficient and systematic random drawing mechanism for tax return review will put the auditing resource to its optimal uses. Auditing is a top priority in the country’s Tax Administration, and the key to the Tax Law enforcement. During the whole process of Revenue Service, picking the cases for audit review is the key. This is for us to accurately pick the fraudulent cases and have enough auditing skills to find out the fraud is important. We will use the known fraudulent example of Procomp to illustrate whether the current processes for picking cases and auditing review possess sufficient functions. Also we want to use Procomp case to discuss the impact of frauds on our tax income. We have summarized Procomp’s 1993 and 2004 profit-seeking enterprise income tax return reviews and its adjudication from court. Procomp, except in year 2000, had been picked for extensive auditing review during the time when Procomp is under suspicion of fraudulent. A second review for Procomp’s year 2000 audit showed that the first audit did not discover some of the defraud revenue. But this mistake is within reasonable range considering the cost of performing such revenue service. In short, the case picking process by the revenue service at that specific time can be seen as a functioned mechanism. Next we will review Procomp’s fraudulent content. Procomp’s financial reports showed unusual relationships between the individual categories and misrepresentations. According to Procomp’s tax auditing review, we determined that there are places where tax review process needs to be improved, which will also benefits accountants certifying cases in the future. 1. Increase the auditing weight on balance sheet 2. Simplify and clarify the review on tax reduction 3. Strengthen the usage and content of database 4. Increase professional suspicion and dynamic reconciliation 5. Draft auditing review handbook for highly complex transaction such as international, derivative financial products or paper company in foreign countries. Also, Procomp does not admit to the adjudication by the revenue service and a second review was held for their 2001 to 2004 cases, and they requested administrative aids on all cases. These cases are still pending right now and cause huge shortage in tax payment. But due to insufficient fund to make the payment, there is a really high chance that the tax payment will never be collected. However, due to lack of related law and policy, the revenue service has to follow the rules as when they review regular case. As a result, both the cost of conducting this review and the results from the review are still waiting to be evaluated.

An Application of Decision Support Systems on the Value — Added - Tax Auditing Guide the professor:Hsin-Ginn Hwang Ph.D. Graduate student:Ue thing Chen Abstract Concerning taxation audit, it is a task with high difficulty to obtain the identification between the equity and performances in taxation. During the past two decades, domestic administrative organizations have continually noticed the importance of information technology to process taxation data. The taxation organizations have begun to promote automation of taxation work since 1970’s. The purpose of this paper is to apply DSS on the value - added - auditing. Procedure of this study is developing a research framework, building value-added DSS, and developing a training program for two hundreds people. Our empirical research adopts questionnaire survey focusing on auditors and those who are audited. Results of this study indicate that there are high identification for equity and performances by using value — added DSS. Therefore, we suggest that superior government organization can take this result into consideration when they plan tax auditing practices. Key-words: The Tax Auditing, Decision Support System, DSS

During recent years, the corporate fraud incidents seem to be endless and the management level would manipulate financial report for the sake of its own interest, entailing with plenty of enterprise frauds as well. This research intends to explore that the government institution acts in the role of external auditor that is free of charge and prevents the enterprises from disclosing false financial information to achieve tax evasion. In addition, whether government institution has the incentive to prod the government related personnel to proceed to their oversight over the enterprise so as to prevent enterprise from engaging to various tax evasions would also be explored. This research realizes the fact when the cost for fraud prevention is too high government has no incentive to exercise their oversight. Hence government would lower their fraud prevention costs by ridding off the information asymmetries which can be conducive to the prevention from enterprise tax evasion in addition to rendering the proprietor to disclosing truthful financial reports. This research acquires the following findings: 1. Different risk preferences for the principal would lead to different outcomes. 2. Strategies committed by the agent would determine the salary compensation for the agent. 3. When the cost of efforts from the agent equates to the level of efforts, then the agent would choose the minimum efforts available and the principal is not compelled to tax evasion and there is no need for the government to deter the tax evasion as well. 4. When the agent’s salary compensation is the average value of the level and the cost of efforts, then the agent would choose the high level of efforts and the principal would adopt the tax evasion approach so as to acquire high profitability; at the moment, the government should proceed to effective tax evasion supervision so as to prevent from any wrongdoings to achieve the tax equity.

The synthetic income tax of Taiwan takes the declaration system and accumulative tax rate as the basis. The way of tax payment and the auditing procedures are just the same as the advanced countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan. These countries adopt withholding tax system, together with the procedure of tax payment based on declaration in order to achieve the aim of levy. Of course, since the tax is withdrawn and deducted from the income in advance and the deducted amount of tax is not completely equivalent to the amount of payable tax, at the end of a fiscal year there create such situations as insufficiency of tax payment or over-deduction of income. Therefore, tax declaration has to be followed by tax rebate or payment of overdue tax. According to the statistical data of the Ministry of Finance, there are millions of tax rebate cases every year, which are above 50% of the total number of tax declaration cases. In order to decrease the workload and labor of the Department of Tax Administration, in 1998 the Ministry of Finance started increasing the amount of initial withholding tax. Only those who are required to deduct tax of above NT$2,000 each time are allowed to use the withholding tax system. But can this policy get the expected effect? From the data of tax declaration for the fiscal year of 1998 as reported in March of this year (1999), it is shown that the problem has not been solved completely. Therefore, this study proposes three dimentions : (1) Increase the categories of income for separated levy, e.g. writer''s piecework payment, bonus for winner of competition or game, authority fund, commission, etc., all of which adopt a separate levy from the source of income. (2) Revise the calculation formula of withholding tax system and increase the calculation parameter of withholding tax from the non-income tax so as to compensate the shortcoming of the original calculation method. (3) By taking samples from the levy cases of the past fiscal years, calculate back to the original situation and find out the most suitable standard of initial deduction. Besides, fix different standards of initial deduction on different categories of income. In this way, at the end of a year the total amount of tax deduction accumulated each time will be closer to the calculated and declared amount of payable tax for the whole year. It reduces the amount of tax rebate and overdue tax after tax declaration, decreases the operation procedures of the Department of Tax Administration, and lessens the burden of the huge number of tax rebate cases and payment of overdue tax. This study suggests three important subjects for studying. The final purposes are to reduce the amount of tax rebate and payment of overdue tax, decrease the number of such cases, and simplify the declaration procedures of taxpayers, so as to simplify the auditing and levying procedures and save the operation cost. Finally, the study proposes that since the relevant suggestions of this study involve law or the relevant regulations, if they are adopted, there should be proposed to revise the income tax law, table of the standard of withholding tax rate, table of withholding tax from income, etc. Moreover, this study is limited by the accumulated data that are partially restricted to a certain districts. It is suggested that a nationwide sampling can be done to get a more accurate calculation parameter. It is hoped that the results of this study can be provided to the governmental department as a reference for improvement of tax auditing and levying.

Abstract The central government has established three National Tax Bureaus in Taiwan province since July 1,1992. Together with previous Bureaus of Taipei and Kuoshiung Executive cities, it amounts to five ones. They are responsible for national tax collection. Facing the massive environmental change, the administrative remedy of recheck, appeal and administrative lawsuit increasingly emphasizes the protection of taxpayers’ right. As a result, the auditing technique becomes more difficult and the auditing quality becomes more important. The research is aimed to set up a useful evaluation method to measure the auditing quality of National Tax Bureaus for the past seven years. In reference to the historical documents, it uses the case number of the recheck for administrative remedy and its rejection or withdrawal as evaluation items in the questionnaire. Then it calculates the weight of them one another. Further, it utilizes the TOPSIS among multiple principle evaluation methods to testify and analyze them. By the above procedures, it reveals the significant outcomes as follows. 1.According to the results of questionairs, the rejection from the recheck can most represent the auditing quality. It has the highest importance. The case of the recheck itself has the second importance. The withdrawal from the recheck is ranked at the least importance. 2.By utilizing the TOPSIS among multiple principle evaluation methods to set up an evaluation model of recheck documents, it can produce a structure of auditing quality and performance for each National Tax Bureaus. They can be objectively measured for their improvements. 3.The auditing quality and performance of five National tax Bureaus comes up and down greatly and tends to deterioates gradually. It reveals that the tax law is incomplete. The auditors are difficult to follow, incongruous between themselves and lack communication to form the same views. Moreover, the management level controls the auditing quality with rigor or not inconsistently, lacking consistent rule as the objects for the auditors to pursue. As a result, the tax payers can turn in forcible evidences afterwards. Besides, it reminds the National Tax Bureaus that their superior advantage gradually disappears. The research thereby provides the suggestions as follows. 1.Decentralized and humane management : The performance measure for auditors in National Tax Bureaus should avoid to use the number as the highest standard. Instead, more humane care can be adopted to establish the way of communication and decentralization. Also the conditions of collecting by rules or not can be used as evaluating standard. 2.Professional training strengthened to elimilate arbitrariness : The auditors should be trained perpetually with plan and by force to form the same thinking and consistent views. 3.Elevating stimulus of superior : The Bureaus should struggle for the auditors more benefits, better security system and better office environment. 4.Legalized negotiation system : Negotiation can reduce the workload, save manpower, accelerate the collecting cases and enhance the performance. It should be enforced and be anacted by law or rule for both the tax collector and payer to abide by.

Due to the huge number of illegal business tax refund cases has become a serious problem, the National Tax Administrations of all 5 regions in Taiwan make every effort to improve this condition. However, because all National Tax Administrations are short-staffed on tax auditing, they are forced to classify the business tax refund cases each month into several classes and only focus on the most abnormal cases. Whereas, to identify abnormal cases, reliable statistical indicators are needed. Therefore, this study consider the characteristic of abnormal business tax refund cases, and based on this observation we choose taxpayer files abnormal, Input tax falsely reported、zero-tax-rate sales amount falsely reported as major indicators of abnormal cases. We apply Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process to evaluate the weight and priority of each indicator. Finally, we construct a business tax refund cases selection and auditing risk indicator system composed of 3 dimensions and 12 criteria and 35 indexes. We hope that the system could help National Tax Administrations improve the performance in the practice of business tax refund case auditing, and the goal of maintaining a fair tax is more achievable.

Orchestral playing, like solo and chamber music playing, has its specific standing in performing artsfield. Although there are courses designed for orchestral playing from elementary to graduate school in Taiwan, the professional training resources are still very insufficient compared to those in Japan, Korea, and Western countries. For Taiwanese musicians who target professional orchestral playing as their lifetime career, it is hard to receive help from the preparing process by themselves due to the lack of systematic researches on both academic and practical levels. This dissertation will take three main professional orchestras in Taiwan: National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra, Taipei Symphony Orchestra, and National Symphony Orchestra as examples to discuss about the audition process and repertoire. It will also collect related articles and interview several experienced musicians on how to prepare/practice for orchestral audition. Hope to serve as a guideline andprovide general integration for those interested in professional orchestral playing.

Objetivos: primários: comparação do controlo tumoral, preservação funcional e sintomas associados nos dois grupos. Secundários: estabelecer fatores prognósticos para controlo tumoral e preservação funcional. Materiais e métodos: no grupo da radiocirurgia (grupo A; N=25) a média de volumes tumorais foi 1,64 cm3, com 14 doentes com audição útil, 1 com neuropatia facial, 1 com hipostesia facial, 15 com desequilíbrio e 14 com acufenos. No grupo da radiocirurgia precedida por microcirurgia (grupo B; N=13) a média de volumes tumorais foi 3,75 cm3, com 1 doente com audição útil, 6 com neuropatia facial, 4 com hipostesia facial, 4 com desequilíbrio, 2 com acufenos e 1 com cefaleias. Resultados: a taxa de controlo tumoral foi 92% (A) e 69% (B). A idade, a dose terapêutica, o grau Koos e os fatores de risco vascular não foram significativos como fatores prognósticos para controlo tumoral. A preservação auditiva foi 50 (A) e 0% (B). A dose terapêutica e a idade revelaram valor prognóstico para preservação auditiva (valores-p = 0,018 e 0,037). O mesmo não se verificou para o volume inicial. A taxa de preservação facial foi 96 (A) e 100% (B). O tratamento não se associou a neuropatia facial, vestibular e trigeminal periférica. O volume inicial associou-se significativamente a neuropatia trigeminal periférica (valor-p = 0,034). Estabeleceuse uma relação significativa entre o tratamento e cefaleias em A (valor-p = 0,001). Discussão: o controlo tumoral e a preservação auditiva foram superiores em A. O tratamento associou-se significativamente a deterioração auditiva em A. A dose terapêutica e a idade demonstraram-se valor prognóstico para preservação auditiva; o volume inicial revelou-se como significativo para neuropatia trigeminal periférica.

Comparative analysis between two groups of patients with vestibular schwannomas, one approached by stereotactic radiosurgery alone and another by stereotactic radiosurgery preceded by microsurgery. Objectives: primary: compare differences regarding tumour control, functional preservation and associated symptoms. Secondary: test prognostic factors for tumour control and functional preservation. Materials and methods: in the group of patients submitted solely to radiosurgery (group A; N=25) the mean tumour volume was 1,64 cm3, and there were 14 patients with serviceable hearing, 1 with facial neuropathy, 1 with facial hypoesthesia, 15 with imbalance and 14 with tinnitus. In the group of patients approached by microsurgery followed by radiosurgery (group B; N=13) the mean tumour volume was 3,75 cm3, and there were 1 patient with serviceable hearing, 6 with facial neuropathy, 4 with facial hypoesthesia, 4 with imbalance and 1 with headaches. Results: we attained 92 (A) and 69% (B) tumour control rates. Age, therapeutic dose, Koos grade and vascular risk factors were not significant as prognostic factors for tumour control rate. We achieved a 50 (A) and 0% (B) hearing preservation rates. Therapeutic dose and age were shown to be relevant prognostic factors for hearing preservation (p-values = 0,018 and 0,037, respectively), in opposition to initial volume. Facial preservation rates were 96 (A) and 100% (B). Radiosurgery was not linked to facial, vestibular and peripheral trigeminal neuropathies. Initial volume was statistically linked to peripheral trigeminal deterioration (p-value = 0,034). Radiosurgery was associated with headaches - group A (p-value = 0,001). Discussion: group A had superior tumour control rate and hearing preservation. Radiosurgery was linked to deterioration of hearing function (group A). Therapeutic dose and age were significant as prognostic factors for hearing preservation. Initial volume showed a link as a prognostic factor to peripheral trigeminal deterioration. Treatment showed a link to headaches (group A). Keywords: vestibular schwannoma; stereotactic radiosurgery; microsurgery; tumour control rate; hearing preservation.
