Full textAbstract:
This research examined the determinants of creative accounting as well as the influence of regulatory bodies, corporate govenance and institutional investors on the practice of creative accounting by Jordanian Manufacturing Companies. In order to meet its aims and objectives the research methodology design focused on determination of the following: (i) whether creative accounting practice is entrenched among manufacturing companies in Jordan and to what extent (ii) whether corporate governance, institutional investors and regulatory bodies exercise any influence on the practice of creative accounting by Jordani-an manufacturing companies. This research started with a desk review of the concepts and theories associated with creative accounting and its determinants. Evidence from the desk review shows the practice of creative accounting is neither illegal nor fraudulent but has lead investors into poor investment decisions. These determinants formed the basis of the primary investigation and were confirmed to have major impacts on the practice of creative accounting in Jordan. The research reveal that creative accounting to a large extent is entrenched among Jordanian manufacturing companies, and that neither institutional investors nor regulators influence the ability and willingness of Jordanian manufacturing companies to practice creative accounting. Corpo-rate governance and employees were found to be determinants in terms of top executive and employee compensation package linked to performance, hence exert some influence on the willingness of manufacturing companies to practice creative accounting. This research has added to the body of knowledge by exploring a new aspect of an existing issues. The issues of creative accounting has featured in accounting literature for a long time but has been concentrated on the advanced countries. This research has now extended this literature to include developing county perspective. It has added new perspectives to its understanding theoretically. This research has been able to examine the practice of crea-tive accounting and developed a theoretical framework which can be used to detect and mitigate the impact of creative accounting. This framework is the first of its kind in Jordan and has been adopted by some of the respondents who asked for copies. An initial review of the practicality, applicability and reliability of the framework with Jordanian manufac-turing companies and regulators confirm the framework to be fit for the intended purpose. Overall, this study has contributed both new knowledge and extended existing knowledge in accounting. Created a new understanding and perspective to deal with an issues which has been a problem for both companies and regulators.

Full textAbstract:
Samtliga företag ska varje år upprätta en årsredovisning. Syftet med årsredovisningen är att tillgodose investerare och till viss del långivare med information. För att attrahera kapital från dessa aktörer åligger det incitament för företag att anpassa sin årsredovisning med syfte att framställa dess finansiella ställning i bättre dager än den i själva verket är. Majoriteten av de metoder företag kan använda för att manipulera dess resultat går under begreppet Earnings Management eller Designad redovisning, där Big Bath Accounting ingår. Big Bath Accounting skildrar de åtgärder ledningen vidtar för att väsentligt minska en periods vinst för att öka nästkommande periods vinst. Tidigare forskning har inte kunnat demonstrera en koppling mellan Big Bath Accounting och förändringar i företagens aktiekurs eller vinst. Trots detta förekommer fall där företag påstås använda sig av redovisning liknande Big Bath Accounting. Det föreligger därmed intresse att undersöka huruvida det går att statistiskt påvisa fenomenets existens.

In this thesis I try to clarify the concept of "creative accounting ". First I define the difference between error and fraud. Then I try to compare two different accounting systems (IFRS and Czech accounting standards). I specify the major differences between these two systems (the valuation of assets, the principle of revenue recognition etc.) and I compare their impact on the financial statements. In the end I consider the role of adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in relation to the creative accounting.

Full textAbstract:
This experimental study investigates the connotative meaning of the concept “cash”, as it relates to the cash flow statement, held by the three key parties to the accounting communication process: preparers, auditors and users. Concerns raised in the accounting profession regarding the susceptibility of the cash flow statement to manipulation, coupled with the recent introduction of NZ IAS 7 (cash flow statement) provide the motivation for investigating the potential for miscommunication (either intentional or unintentional) between the main parties to the financial reporting process. The study investigates inter and intra group differences in measured connotative meaning of the old and new definitions of “cash”, and determines the effect of connotative meaning on decision outcomes. Further, the study considers the overall quality of the two definitions, as perceived by the three financial reporting groups.
Three key findings are indicated. The first is that the three financial reporting groups do not share the same cognitive structure in which the meaning of the concept “cash” is held. An important implication is that comparisons between the connotative meanings held by the three financial reporting groups cannot be validly made. Secondly, significant differences in the measured meaning were observed across the two definitions within each of the three subject groups. Thirdly, the decision outcomes for each of the three subject groups were significantly different under the two definitions. Also there was some evidence that the differences in the decision outcomes were linked to the differences in the measured connotative meaning.
These results raised several concerns regarding the potential for miscommunication between the three key parties to the accounting communication process and highlighted the importance of standard-setters assessing the effect on connotative meaning of possible changes in wording to key concepts within the cash flow statement.

Full textAbstract:
The dissertation deals with the issue of creative accounting of small and micro companies in the Czech Republic. Creative accounting is a phenomenon that gained importance in the 21st century after publicizing of a number of accounting scandals. In the context of economic crisis and budget deficit, the phenomenon of creative accounting, in particular the prevention and detection of financial manipulation, is a topical issue which draws attention of experts specialized in economics as well as of entire countries including the Czech Republic. The research focus on small and micro companies stems from the undeniable importance of this segment for the performance of the economy of the entire country. This dissertation provides a comprehensive view of the issue of creative accounting in terms of theoretical approaches as well as its practical application. Primary research is based on an analysis of the phenomenological paradigm, i.e. it focuses on the understanding of human behaviour on the basis of a reference framework of research participants. The main aim of primary research is to discover the motives, techniques, perception of risk and consequences of creative accounting in the Czech Republic. The main research method used in the research is a case study based on a comparison of four business entities. The consequences of creative accounting are illustrated on a critical case. The main limitation of the dissertation rests in the impossibility of examining a large sample. The research revealed some findings that are contributive in particular to practice in the area of prevention and detection of creative accounting. The research provides findings usable by supervisory bodies to improve detection of creative accounting, and thus to increase the perceived risks. Another contribution of the dissertation is a suggestion of several possible alterations of legislation which will help reduce existing opportunities of creative accounting in relation to the motives to carry out creative accounting. Assistance in directing further research into the issue of creative accounting may also be considered important, in particular for the theory.

All firms and companies are in jeopardy of frauds but unfortunately not everybody is familiar with the ways of finding them out or preventing them. According to the recent surveys the number of frauds goes steadily up and a new trend in the way of carrying them out has come into existence. There used to be a simple property misappropriation in the past but recently more sophisticated techniques have been used.For that reason it is necessary to familiarize with the most common tricks and fields of fraudulent means.

Full textAbstract:
Det är genom den finansiella redovisningen som företag redogör för sina prestationer. Företag eftersträvar att redovisa höga vinster i syfte att värna om relationen till intressenter, vilken är relaterad till finansiell information. Earnings management utgör ett verktyg för att styra redovisad information i önskad riktning. Det bidrar till snedvridning och minskad trovärdighet för den finansiella rapporteringen.Dåvarande ordförande för U.S. Security and Exchange Commission, Arthur Levitt, uttrycker att earnings management är problematiskt, det försämrar kvaliteten på redovisat resultat och finansiella rapporter. Earnings management innebär ett utnyttjande av bedömningsutrymmen i syfte att manipulera den finansiella informationen. En redovisningspost som skapar tillfälle för företeelsen är avsättningar, vilka baseras på bedömningar. Avsättningar kan övervärderas för att skapa utrymme för framtida återföring, med avsikt att öka redovisat resultat. Av tidigare forskning framgår att återföring av avsättningar används mer frekvent när företag redovisar ett negativt resultat. Det har även konstaterats att företag återför avsättningar för att nå upp till förväntningar eller för att undvika att rapportera nedgång i vinster.Syftet med studien är att, inom ramen för earnings management, studera effekter av när företag på Nasdaq OMX Stockholm Large Cap återför avsättningar. Detta med fokus på företagens resultat samt måluppfyllelse. I studien är relationen mellan redovisat resultat och återföring av avsättningar central. Det undersöks huruvida avsättningar återförs, antingen för att undvika att redovisa ett förlustresultat eller för att nå upp till vinstmål. Det ska mynna ut i en slutsats om huruvida earnings management förekommer. Tidigare forskare har uttryckt ett behov av denna sortens studie, då det finns få empiriska studier där återföring av avsättningar granskas med koppling till earnings management.Studien har en deduktiv ansats och en kvantitativ metod har tillämpats för att besvara forskningsfrågorna. Datamaterialet utgörs av 222 stycken årsredovisningar under tidsperioden 2010-2015. Relevant finansiell information har hämtats ur dem för att testas och vidare analyseras. Datamaterialet har testats genom statistiska sambandstest och dess resultat analyseras med hjälp av tidigare forskning och studiens teoretiska referensram. Den teoretiska referensramen utgörs av positiv redovisningsteori, systemorienterade teorier och designad redovisning.Studien resulterar i ett enhetligt svar på forskningsfrågorna. Svaren indikerar på att earnings management genom återföring av avsättningar inte förekommer på Nasdaq OMX Stockholm Large Cap. Resultatet skiljer sig från tidigare forskning.The financial statements are meant to convey the performance of a company. Companies strive to report high profits in order to safeguard their relationships with stakeholders, which are related to the financial information. Earnings management represents a tool for controlling reported information in a desired direction. It contributes to distortion and reduced credibility of the financial reporting.Former chairman of the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission, Arthur Levitt, states that earnings management is problematic, it’s causing an erosion in the quality of reported earnings and the financial reports. Earnings management involves the use of discretion in order to manipulate the financial information. Provisions, which are based on estimates, create an opportunity for the phenomenon. Provisions can be overstated to provide reserves for future reversals, with the intention to increase reported earnings. Prior research shows that reversals are used more frequently when companies report a loss. It has also been stated that companies use reversals to meet forecasts or to avoid reporting a decline in profits.The purpose of this study is to examine, in the context of earnings management, effects of reversal of provisions on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm Large Cap. This while focusing on reported earnings and earnings targets. Central for this study is the relationship between reported earnings and reversals. It is examined whether provisions are reversed in order to avoid to report a loss or with the aim to reach an earnings target. This will appear in a conclusion whether earnings management occurs or not. Prior researchers have expressed a need for this kind of study, as there are few empirical studies in which reversal of provisions, in the context of earnings management, is examined.The study has a deductive approach and a quantitative method has been applied in order to answer the research questions. The data material consists of 222 annual reports during the period 2010-2015. Relevant financial information has been collected from the annual reports in order to be investigated and analyzed. The data has been tested through statistical correlation tests and the results are analyzed using prior research and the theoretical framework. The theoretical framework consists of positive accounting theory, systems-oriented theories and designed accounting. The study results in a uniform answer. The answers indicate that earnings management through reversal of provisions does not occur on the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm Large Cap. This result is not consistent with prior research.This thesis is written in Swedish.

Full textAbstract:
Den externa redovisningens uppgift är att förse olika intressenter med information om företagets finansiella situation. Den visar inte bara på hur det har gått för ett företag utan ger också en grund för möjliga investeringar i företaget. Informationen är ett viktigt redskap för företagets intressenter och det blir naturligt för företaget att styra informationen åt de håll som förväntas av omvärlden. Det är då begreppet kreativ redovisning kommer i uttryck. Det kan förklaras med att företag på något sätt förskönar bilden av ett företags prestation som presenteras i form av en årsredovisning.
Det finns olika syften med att använda sig av kreativ redovisning, beroende på vilken intressent företaget vänder sig till. Företagen har många intressenter som kan ta skada av felaktig eller förvrängd information. Enligt svensk lagstiftning ska en årsredovisning upprättas efter god redovisningssed och ge en rättvisande bild av företagets prestationer och det kan ge möjligheter och utrymmen för en kreativ redovisning. Det finns olika kända metoder som kan utföra detta och användandets omfattning kan variera stort. Det finns metoder som är fullt lagliga som använder sig av flexibiliteten i lagar och praxis och sedan finns det metoder som är mer allvarliga och kan betraktas som rena bokföringsbrott.
Syftet med vår uppsats är att definiera begreppet kreativ redovisning och titta på om det är ett stort problem i Sverige. Eftersom det finns många intressenter som använder sig av företagens finansiella information har vi valt att endast studera de som investerar i företagen, det vill säga investerare och analytiker. I vår teori/litteraturstudie börjar vi med att definiera begreppet kreativ redovisning följt av olika metoder som används, hur kreativ redovisning motverkas och varför företagen använder sig av kreativ redovisning. Vidare tar vi upp om val av redovisningsmetoder, olika sorters kreativ redovisning och om den kreativa redovisningen är i strid med god redovisningssed och rättvisande bild. Slutligen presenteras svenska exempel av kreativ redovisning samt att ge en definition om vad som krävs för att det ska uppfattas som ett problem. I vår empiri har vi valt att utgå utifrån en kvalitativ undersökning i form av intervju för att ta reda på om det uppfattas som ett problem i Sverige av våra respondenter.
I vår slutsats har vi bland annat kommit fram till att det inte uppfattas som ett stort problem utifrån intervjuerna och det har inte funnits någon exakt definition på vad kreativ redovisning är utifrån hur respondenterna har svarat men även hur författarna beskriver begreppet från vår litteraturstudie.

The contemporary generation lives in a modern globalized world that comes through the economic recession last few years. Just this recession often forces management of the companies to modify achieved financial results to meet the expectations of the owners. External auditors provides to the owners level of confidence, that the submitted financial statements respect the principle of truth and fair view of accounting and that the owners can rely on the financial information. The main objective of this thesis is to explain the role of the external audit and audit procedures performed. It contains theoretical and practical part. The attention is focused on the 4th stage of the audit -- substantive and control testing. The paper also contains practical advises for users of financial statements. I also tried to clarify the concept of creative accounting practice and its basic methods.

Full textAbstract:
Becoming a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is the goal of many aspiring accountants. Universities and colleges prepare students to gain the necessary skills to pass this certification exam; however, the CPA exam is increasingly difficult, and students continuously struggle trying to pass all four parts of the CPA exam. The goal of this research project is to gain a better understanding of how ETSU can better prepare students to become CPA exam ready, since this certification leads to increased job opportunities, pay, etc. A survey was sent out to 90 previous graduate students at ETSU with both multiple choice and open-ended response questions. The data was analyzed qualitatively since 16 people responded, and broad conclusions of the results were assessed. Questions in the survey asked students to give their input on how ETSU can improve the Master of Accountancy (M.Acc.) program, identify parts of the CPA exam that were troublesome and easy, how prepared students felt for the CPA exam, etc. The findings of this survey presented a wide range of opinions on ETSU’s ability to prepare students for the CPA exam and offered valuable insight to be considered.

This thesis deals with the creative accounting in the selected business corporation. First, the theoretical background is defined, followed by an analysis of the selected accounting cases for the year 2016, where creative accounting methods were used. All the creative accounting cases are then redesigned so that they do not include these practices. New earnings are therefore calculated as well as the new value added tax rate that the company should have properly deducted.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents an exploration of a branch of contemporary management accounting practice that is concerned with creating value for an organisation. Scholars within management accounting have highlighted the impact that such techniques have had in changing the practical landscape of organisational practices, but that paradoxically, there is a lack of corresponding empirical and theoretical knowledge about them. Therefore, this thesis examines these contemporary practices: firstly in a theoretical manner, through an examination of underlying theoretical influences, and secondly in practical contexts by analysing two case studies of implementation. The case studies adopt a critical realist framework to examine the extent and effects of accounting change stemming from the implementation of contemporary practice, arguing that within the case study organisations contemporary practices are not as divergent in their use as presented within the extant management accounting literature. Instead, empirical findings suggest that contemporary practices are representative of an extension of traditional management accounting logic. By utilising critical realism, an exploration of the socio-political context of these contemporary practices is also considered.

Full textAbstract:
I tidigare studier har det framkommit att amerikanska företag manipulerar sina finansiella räkenskaper inför en nyemission med hjälp av Earnings Management genom oförklarliga periodiseringar. Detta görs i syfte att reflektera en bättre bild av företagets finansiella ställning gentemot hur det i verkligheten ser ut. Företeelsen tillämpas med avsikt att erhålla ett större finansiellt riskkapital då företaget utfärdar nyemission. Denna studie undersöker om svenska företag agerar likt amerikanska företag vid en nyemission och därför är syftet i studien att undersöka om svenska företag tillämpar Earnings Management genom oförklarliga periodiseringar vid perioden då de utfärdar nyemission. Svenska företag har varit av intresse i följande studie då svenska företag verkar under ett annorlunda redovisnings- och skattesystem än amerikanska företag gör, varpå vi vill testa om teorin Earnings Management genom oförklarliga periodiseringar är tillämpbar på även svenska företag, trots de skillnader som föreligger mellan ländernas lagsystem. Studien har genomförts med hjälp av en kvantitativ metod som vi presenterat med hjälp av en deskriptiv statistisk analys. De resultat som framkommit i studien är att även svenska, såväl som amerikanska, företag tillämpar Earnings Management genom oförklarliga periodiseringar vid de kvartal då ska utfärda nyemission, trots de olikheter i redovisnings- och skattesystem som råder länderna emellan. Förutom detta visar studien på att svenska företag även tillämpar en extrem form av Earnings Management samt att olika branscher tillämpar Earnings Management genom oförklarliga periodiseringar i olika grad då de ska utfärda nyemission. De resultat som framkommer i följande studie visar att det är av stor betydelse att investerare har en medvetenhet om att Earnings Management genom oförklarliga periodiseringar förekommer när svenska företag ska utfärda nyemission. Detta är av vikt då tidigare studier har påvisat att många investerare som förvärvat aktier i företagen som tillämpat Earnings Management genom oförklarliga periodiseringar har känt en besvikelse samt upplevt att de blivit missledda av företagens publicerade finansiella rapporter efter nyemissionen. Besvikelsen grundar sig i att det rapporterade resultatet vanligtvis kraftigt sjunker kvartalen efter nyemission då företagen tillämpat Earnings management genom oförklarliga periodiseringar.In previous studies, it has been found that US companies manipulate their financial statements before issuing Seasoned Equity Offerings (SEO) using Accrual-based Earnings Management. This is done by the company in order to reflect a better financial position compared to their true underlying financial performance. Accrual-based Earnings Management is applied with the intention of obtaining larger financial capital when issuing SEOs. This study examines whether Swedish companies, consistent with US companies, apply the phenomenon in a similar way while issuing SEOs and the purpose of our study is therefore to investigate whether Swedish companies apply Accrual-based Earnings Management in the period they issue SEOs. Swedish companies have been of interest in the following study, as Swedish companies operate under a different accounting and tax law compared to that of American companies. As a result, we want to test the theory of Accrual-based Earnings Management to see if it is applicable to Swedish companies, despite the differences in tax law that exists between the countries. The study has been conducted using a quantitative methodology which has been presented through a descriptive statistical analysis. Our results imply that Swedish- as well as American companies, apply Accrual-based Earnings Management in the period they issue SEOs. This is found despite differences in accounting and tax law between the two countries. In addition to this, the study also shows that Swedish companies apply an extreme form of Accrual-based Earnings Management, and that it exist industrial differences in the level of Accrual-based Earnings Management that is applied when issuing SEOs. The results found in the following study show that it is of the utmost importance that investors have an awareness regarding Accrual-based Earnings Management and that it occurs when Swedish companies issue a SEO. This is important as previous studies have shown that many investors who acquired shares in the companies who applied Accrual-based Earnings Management when issuing SEOs, have felt disappointed and have found that they have been misled by the companies published financial reports following the SEO. The disappointment is based on the fact that as companies apply Accrual-based Earnings Management, the companies reported earnings usually fall in the period after issuing a SEO.

The thesis deals with the manipulation of earnings reporting aka earnings management. The initial focus of the thesis is on the earnings management motivations and two ways how to achieve that. Firstly, earnings can be influenced by the management decisions to carry out some transactions without any economic sense. Secondly, there are creative accounting processes to manipulate earnings in required way, what we mainly pay attention to in the thesis. The theoretical part referring to particular earnings management techniques and the quality of earnings is followed by the practical part analyzing earnings management of the most famous companies regarding accounting scandals in history using specific measures. There are model examples to demonstrate these specific quality earnings measures based on the relation between income, accruals and operating cash flow stated before analyze itself.

Hyväri, S. (Sampsa). "The value-creation of the business model of Finnish residential REITs as observed through the annual statement:evidence from Orava Residential REIT plc." Master's thesis, University of Oulu, 2017. http://urn.fi/URN:NBN:fi:oulu-201706062555.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis evaluates the value creation of the business model of Finnish residential real estate investment trusts (REITs) by observing the annual statement of Orava Residential REIT Plc. for the financial year ending 2016. The theoretical framework discusses peculiarities of REITs, company and its management and financial accounting. Different concepts and aspects have been highlighted in all of the chapters of the theoretical framework. The empirical research is qualitative and done by selective coding. The research method has been abductive. The most important research findings are related to fair value accounting, corporate governance and their role in real estate investment trusts. It seems that fair values are related to all different aspects of the operations of a REIT, the uncertainty related to it possibly enables the management to practice real earnings management. Moreover, unrealized gains and due to the changes in fair values play a significant role in the net income of the company. Considering corporate governance, major concern was raised from the independence of the board of directors. The board has assessed majority of its members to be independent, still, evidence is found to justify that majority of the board members cannot be considered to be truly independent. Also, the cash flows from the realized gains, from the point of view of private investor, have been discussed. More research should be conducted to validate the findings of the research. For example, corporate governance, real earnings manipulation or leverage and capital structure could be inspected more.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is historical in nature. It adopts a methodology that has recently taken the study of accounting history into the arena of the social; leaving behind tradi- tional notions of accounting as being only what accountants do. The focus of the study is on the annual reporting of activity, in terms of both its nancial and phys- ical dimensions, in the history of the British voluntary hospital movement. The study is highly contextualised. By adopting this approach it has been possible to show how accounting reports initially enabled the managers of medical institutions to reverse the focus of accountability onto those charitable individuals that were providing the funding for the hospitals. This greatly strengthened the fundrais- ing capacity of the hospital, while simultaneously de ecting attention away from the e cacy of the institution itself. Later, however, it is shown that after various abortive or only partially successful attempts, it was possible, through the medium of a uniform accounting system, to return the focus of accountability back onto the management of the hospitals. It is important to note that the success of this movement was contingent less on the quality or viability of the accounting system than the legitimacy of the organisation that published its results. Until this legit- imacy was established in the minds of the users of the accounts the e ects of the accounting was severely limited. Once it was rmly established the accounts be- came a powerful knowledge technology that enabled a substantial degree of control to be exercised over hospitals, such that a `quasi-system' of hospitals was created.

Full textAbstract:
This research attempts to measure the degree of trust and its impact and to understand the role of Management Accounting in creating and maintaining trust. According to Zucker (1986) trust consists of three different forms; organisational, process and personal trust. In this thesis it will be shown that trust is a multidimensional construct based on the working definition of Zucker's formulation and further expanded in this research. Several publications on different types of business organisations and other value-adding partnerships consider trust as a pillar for successful operations in an increasingly global competitive environment. Some authors go further and argue that “in the economy trust is nowadays more important than natural resources” and that “trust is the prerequisite for existence and successful control of organisations”. As facilitators of trust, Management Accounting has an impact on and is impacted by the level of trust within a business organisation. The Management Accounting (controlling) function is often associated with the conscience felt in many types of business organisations as it can be seen as a key for the management to make crucial decisions. However, the interaction between trust and Management Accounting has not yet been explored in detail. Therefore, the goal of this research is to identify or construct models, test several hypothesis, find a measurement of trust and to investigate the impact of trust on organisational performance and sustainability. Additionally, this research aims to develop and test new statistical methods to conduct intraorganisational research. To measure trust a questionnaire was developed and piloted. Part of this questionnaire was sociometric to allow the collection of data for social network methods to be applied. This meant that via the flow of communication the role and functioning of management accountants can be identified. This instrument was used in a private and in a public institution. From the analysis it was concluded that a dimension based measure of trust was developed as was a methodology for measurement. This allowed demonstration that as trust increases so does organisational performance. The method also exposed the key role of management accountants in facilitating the flow of trust between CEOs and line managers.

Full textAbstract:
The repatriation tax holiday enacted by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 mandated that the proceeds be used for investment. However, the academic literature has found this mandate to be ineffective (Blouin and Krull, 2009). In this paper, I examine the determinants of using tax savings for investment purposes. Using the cash flow statement identity, I estimate how firms allocate permanent tax savings, temporary tax savings, and their other operating cash flows among the following uses: investment, holding as cash, or reducing debt or equity. I find that temporary tax savings are used for investment to a greater extent than permanent tax savings or cash flow from operations, and that investment levels are partially sticky after temporary savings reverse. I also find that financially constrained firms and domestic firms invest a larger portion of their tax savings than fully invested firms or multinational firms. Finally, I show that tax savings from accelerated tax depreciation are invested at a greater rate than savings from the AJCA repatriation tax holiday. My results suggest that policymakers interested in ensuring tax savings are invested should offer temporary tax savings to domestic, financially constrained firms.

Guo, Yongsheng. "The perception of value creation by relationship managers in corporate banking : insights into relationship banking." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2006. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/8041/.
Full textAbstract:
This study explores the value creation in relationship banking from the relationship managers' perspective. A grounded theory approach (Strauss and Corbin, 1998) is adopted that theory is derived from data, systematically gathered and analyzed throughout the research process. This study derives concepts and categories from primary data and identifies relationships among these theoretical elements. This study provides a comprehensive picture of relationship banking as a social phenomenon, and supplies some theoretical and managerial implications. Moreover, this study links the literature relevant to relationship banking from different disciplines. This is a new way of looking at the relationship banking phenomenon and relevant literature in an integrated manner. This study conducted research to investigate why the case banks establish long-term relationships with corporate customers? The case banks considered macro conditions including the advances in technology, financial deregulation, and business globalisation when they adopted relationship banking. The interviewees perceived that relationship banking was efficient for managing risk, effective for saving cost and necessary for cross-selling. Some intervening conditions including customer information and knowledge, customer needs and customer confidence also influence the development of relationship banking. This study investigated how the case banks establish and maintain these relationships and how they organise and motivate relationship managers? The case banks built a relationship orientated corporate culture, organised employees around customer relationships and employed customervalue based performance measurement and incentive-based reward system. The employees cooperated inside the organisation and communicated with their customers regularly, exchanged information and provided relationship transactions. This study also investigated how the case banks and corporate customers get benefits from relationship banking? The interviewees perceived that the corporate customers gained benefits including fund availability, product availability, service quality, in-time heir, and business platform. The case banks gained benefits including reduction of credit risk, increase in income, sustainable profit, customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction. The findings were integrated and linked to some banking, finance, organisation and marketing literature related to relationship banking phenomenon. The case banks increased internal service quality through employee relationship management and improved employee satisfaction. The interviewees perceived that the corporate customers received benefits in the corporate banking market by customer relationship management. The increased customer satisfaction resulted in customer retention and profit to the case banks. The case banks perceived that added shareholder wealth improved shareholder satisfaction. This study concluded that the case banks, which had more relationship banking competitive advantages and better relationship banking, related processing systems were expected to outperform the competing banks.

Full textAbstract:
A recent growth in textual analysis research in the accounting and finance literature relies heavily on context to draw conclusions about the readability or sentiment of the text under study. Yet the complexity of the text used in the financial disclosure is also relevant in evaluating readability and sentiment. Experimental results in this dissertation thesis show that a change in annual report complexity is associated with a change in the probability that a subject will comprehend the information being communicated in the disclosure. Specifically, increasing the complexity of an annual report disclosure dampens the probability that a subject will understand good news disclosures and accentuates the probability that a subject will understand bad news disclosures. Experimental results in this dissertation thesis also demonstrate that a change in annual report complexity is associated with a change in the probability that a subject will be optimistic about the nature of the news being communicated in the disclosure. Specifically, an increase in the complexity of an annual report disclosure reduces the probability that a subject will be optimistic about neutral news disclosures, decreases the probability that a subject will be optimistic about good news disclosures, and increases the probability that a subject will be optimistic about bad news disclosures. Further, experimental results show that subjects utilize the Financial Statements, Management's Discussion and Analysis, and Business Data sections of the annual report more frequently than the Notes to Financial Statements section of the annual report. These results should be of interest to regulators, public corporations, and readers of annual report disclosures.

Full textAbstract:
Business Administration/InterdisciplinaryPh.D.
Effective investment strategies help companies form dynamic core organizational capabilities allowing them to adapt and survive in today's rapidly changing knowledge-based economy. This dissertation investigates three valuation issues that challenge managers with respect to developing business-critical investment strategies that can have significant impacts on firm performance and growth in the competitive, information-orientated business environment. Using firm-level data collected from Taiwan, this dissertation examines specific valuation issues that are vital in shaping not only firm performance but also competitive advantages in current knowledge-based economy: (1) investments in information technology (IT), (2) human capital, and (3) corporate governance. To address these three major managerial challenges relating to firm investment strategies, this dissertation focuses on investigating the impact of three sources of business value creation, including IT investment, workforce education, and Chief Audit Executive (CAE) turnover. The results of investigating service infrastructure in the banking industry support the idea that in today's complex, fast moving multichannel business environment, evaluation of the strategic value of IT must consider both the direct impact of individual channels and the complementary relationships between IT-based channels and the traditional branch channel while constructing an effective business strategy to align IT use with firm strategic objectives. The interdependence between channels found in this study has a significant effect on firms' short term profitability and long term market competition capability, suggesting that the true value of IT will be fully realized only when coupled with complementary investments in organizational resources. Second, results of examining investments in workforce and research and development (R&D) activities in IT industries indicate that firms with more highly educated workforces have, on average, better performance. Investment in R&D for improving innovation capability is positively associated with firm performance. More importantly, higher levels of workforce education moderate the impact of R&D investment on firm performance, confirming the hypothesized interdependency between workforce education and firm innovation capabilities. In other words, firms benefit more from investment in R&D activities when they have a higher level of educated workforce. An important strategic implication from the DuPont Analysis is that the complementarity between workforce education and R&D capital reinforces a firm's differentiation strategy. Finally, the results of analyzing CAE turnover in Taiwan public companies show that CAE turnover is positively correlated with executive turnover (Chief Executive Officer [CEO] and Chief Financial Officer [CFO]) and financial restatements, which are commonly viewed as a signal of a troubled business or failure. The study also shows that CAE turnover has a negative impact on contemporaneous and future firm performance, suggesting that, to some extent, changing the head of the internal audit function conveys a negative signal to the market regarding a firm's performance. Given that the CAE monitors and assesses enterprise risk practices, the findings of this study suggest that CAE turnover could be used as an indicator of business volatility and potential business risk. The passage of the governance law which improves the quality of a firm's internal control system is found to reinforce the signaling role of CAE turnover and improve firm performance. The results of this dissertation provide important strategic insights regarding the factors managers should consider when making investment choices that are expected to align with a firm's long term development and performance. This dissertation complements literature in managerial accounting and information systems, particularly contributing to business value of IT investment, human capital, and internal audit research streams. It also addresses regulatory implications for policy makers such as regulating relevant disclosures of company information for interested parties and developing a regulatory environment that minimizes regulatory barriers which can suppress businesses and economy growth.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the effects of the discretion allowed in fair value accounting on manager selling decisions of Level 3 fair value assets and liabilities. Grounded in motivated reasoning and prospect theory, the discretion permitted for Level 3 fair value assets and liabilities is predicted to have behavioral consequences. The study employs a 2 X 2 between- participant design, manipulating a conservative level of the discretion used to ascertain the fair value (more or less conservative) and the volatility of the historically recognized fair value (low or high). Both graduate students and accounting professionals were asked to read a case scenario and make selling decisions regarding a pool of Level 3 fair value assets purchased six quarters ago. The results indicate that the discretion of the conservative level affects the asking price although the volatility of historically recognized fair values does not significantly influence accounting professionals’ selling choices. In a comparative analysis, as volatility increases, the difference in the asking price increases between the graduate student sample and the professional sample. Additionally, this study provides support that discretion of the conservative level does not affect the likelihood to sell the security, but rather affects the asking price and the lowest price willing to accept if participants were to sell the Level 3 fair value security. These findings contribute to the fair value accounting literature by providing new insights on the effects fair value discretion has on manager decision-making as well as contributing evidence to the fair value accounting relevance debate.

Full textAbstract:
The diffusion of Activity Based Costing (ABC) has been researched extensively in developed countries. Research on these issues in Jordan in general and within the Jordanian industrial sector more specifically is limited. The aim of the current research is to contribute to the design and successful ABC implementation in the Jordanian industrial sector. To achieve the aim of the research, the research methodology included both quantitative and qualitative data. The first stage was a quantitative study. The questionnaire survey was developed and the primary aims were to determine the current state of ABC adoption and implementation. The factors that facilitate, motivate and create barriers to ABC implementation were examined. In the second stage, semistructured interviews were used to probe the significant results of the questionnaire survey. The interviews were conducted with 6 companies that have implemented ABC in full and currently using ABC information. The survey findings indicate that ABC implementation among Jordanian industrial companies is quite satisfactory. The rate of ABC implementation is about 50.8%. Within the Jordanian industrial sector, the interaction between the following factors facilitated and motivated the implementation of ABC, namely: top management support, both training and education about the system, higher information technology, increasing proportion of overhead costs, growing costs, including product costs and administrative costs, and an increasing number of product variants. The interviews with financial managers/heads of cost accounting departments are consistent with questionnaire survey findings and both reveal and emphasise the important effect of consultants, professional management/accounting bodies and cooperation between academics and professionals upon implementing ABC within the Jordanian industrial sector. Therefore, it can be concluded that it is not only demand but also supply factors that influence implementation of ABC within the Jordanian industrial companies.

Full textAbstract:
The role of the corporation is shifting from an entity focused on making monetary profits to an organization focused on creating value for all of its stakeholders. Despite of this many of the guidelines, standards and reporting frameworks that have been developed to take into account the increasing stakeholder expectations only capture corporate inputs and outputs relating to social initiatives. By not understanding the value created by social initiatives information is missed that could be useful to the organization and its stakeholders. The purpose of this study has therefore been to see if the Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodology can be a viable tool for companies to use for measuring the value created by CSR activities. This has been accomplished via a case study of a CSR initiative funded by a multinational wind power company in India, and more specifically the building and use of a traditional water harvesting structure called a taanka. Having gone through the six steps of SROI, including monetization of all non-market social, environmental and economic values, the results show that for every Indian Rupee (INR) invested into the studied CSR initiative 29 INR of social value have been created for the stakeholders. The results also show the relation between different inputs and outcomes for the stakeholders affected by the initiative. By analyzing the results several lessons for the construction of future taankas can be learnt. Each taanka should for instance be constructed for as many households as possible and ownership should be shared by the users. More resources should also be allocated to following up the outcomes created by CSR initiatives to help to maximize the efficiency of the resources used to create social value. The methodology can also be used to understand the shared corporate and societal values created by measuring the value created for both the company and the stakeholders, which in turn is useful when deciding on the allocation of corporate resources.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2000.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of the study is to establish a fault bank that highlights the differences between the published Value Added Statement of various companies and a standardised Value Added Statement. This standardised Value Added Statement is obtained from an already existing database. In the attached Appendices, full details of the analysis done between the standardised Value Added Statement and the published Value Added Statement are presented. This report highlights the differences of the Value Added Statement between various sectors of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the various years of reporting, and the various companies. No Standard Accounting Practice exists for the preparation of Value Added Statements resulting in variations on the theme. Material differences exist between the various sectors, companies in a sector compared with other companies in the same sector, and there are even differences in companies reporting from one year to the next. In addition, it is also clear that in the reporting of the Value Added Statement, companies do not show any sign of improvement over the years. From this it is clear that there are significant shortcomings in the preparation of the Value Added Statement. There is a serious need for an Accounting Standard to be set in the reporting of the Value Added Statement, and companies should be obligated to comply herewith if the Value Added Statement is to be used as a meaningful criterion. It is important to ensure meaningful comparisons between various sectors, various years of analysis, and even various companies in different sectors of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.

Hierdie gestandardiseerde Toegevoegdewaardestaat is verkry uit 'n alreeds bestaande databasis. Die vergelykings is opgesom in die aangehegte bylaes. Die verslag wys verskille uit tussen verskillende sektore op die Johannesburgse Effektebeurs, jare van rapportering en verskillende maatskappye. Daar is geen Standaard Rekeningkundige voorskrifte nie - gevolglik is daar heelwat variasie op die tema. Verskillende sektore verskil wesenlik van mekaar, maatskappye in 'n sektor verskil wesenlik van ander maatskappye in dieselfde sektor en daar is selfs verskille in hoe maatskappye van jaar tot jaar gerapporteer het. Dit is ook duidelik soos die jare verloop dat maatskappye se verslagdoening geen verbetering toon nie. Die afleiding is dat daar tekortkominge is in die voorbereiding van die Toegevoegdewaardestaat. 'n Rekeningkundige Standaard sal daargestel moet word en maatskappye sal verplig moet word om hieraan te voldoen as die Toegevoegdewaardestaat gebruik wil word as 'n betekenisvolle maatstaf. Dit is uiters belangrik om te verseker dat betekenisvolle vergelyking getref sal kan word oor verskeie jare, tussen verskeie sektore en selfs tussen verskeie maatskappye in verskeie sektore op die Johannesburgse Effektebeurs.

Full textAbstract:
The need to focus and economize on scarce attention is increasingly being acknowledged within management accounting and control literature. The aim of this study is to investigate how practitioners go about creating new concepts and measurements to induce attention towards new issues and as-pects of strategic importance for the organization. In this case study, we follow a project group in a Swedish municipality, creating a management control model of employee health. A close-up view is provided through a narrative approach, based on filming and participant observation, illustrating the highly situated and contextual character of atten-tion in sensemaking processes. The naming of the concepts of management control was found to be associated with a science-framing, while references to local practices of management control induced practice-framing strongly de-emphasizing characteristic features of management control. Line-managers of the study accepted the framework without demands for indica-tors or predictive models. This outcome is in line with a practice notion of management control and a language-game understanding of human communication: management control systems are part of the practices defining meaning and directing at-tention towards different aspects of any situation. Rather than being a lan-guage, management control concepts and measurement may not provide much more than the phonetics of business. Consequently, it may be ques-tioned whether what gets measured automatically gets managed. In line with the attention-based view of the firm and a practice notion of management control, this study suggests that new attention is created through the naming and framing of management control ideals, and as a result of the expressions of managerial intent through practices.

O momento atual de grande competitividade coloca ás empresas o desafio de se adaptarem a essa nova realidade. Uma empresa está constantemente interagindo com meio em que está inserida atendendo sempre ás expectativas de todos os envolvidos como os seus clientes, seus colaboradores, fornecedores, a comunidade a qual pertence, e principalmente aos seus acionistas. Frente á organizações estão profissionais que têm o dever de atender a todas estas expectativas com a busca constante por melhores resultados. No processo de gestão contemporâneo a contabilidade financeira, que tem o objetivo de atender aos princípios fundamentais de contabilidade e aos usuários externos, não atende as necessidades de usuários internos no processo de gestão e tomada de decisão. Contabilidade Gerencial é uma das áreas mais estudadas e visadas porque assume o papel de contribuir com todos os mecanismos possíveis para que os gestores possam conduzir as empresas ao sucesso, amparados por informações ágeis, oportunas e, acima de tudo, confiáveis. A Contabilidade Gerencial tem por principal finalidade ocupar o espaço existente entre a contabilidade financeira, as operações da empresa, e o corpo diretivo, com a incumbência de formatar e garantir um modelo de gestão focado em sistemas de informações, modelo de mensuração e contabilidade por responsabilidade, que proporcione aos gestores a tomada de decisão correta com visão de curto prazo e visão estratégica de longo prazo. A área de Contabilidade Gerencial deve evidenciar os problemas ou soluções de cunho econômico e operacional, deve atender aos gestores no processo de tomada de decisão sobre os mais variados aspectos que movimentam a organização. As contribuições desta área devem ser evolutivas acompanhando e atendendo as novas demandas gerenciais, operacionais e mercadológicas que surgirem. O estudo de caso na HS Transportes evidenciou a contribuição da Contabilidade Gerencial na construção de um novo modelo de gestão, estruturado através da contabilidade divisional, ou contabilidade por responsabilidade, com a implantação de um sistema de informação e modelo de mensuração, atendendo aos gestores no processo de tomada de decisão e incremento de valor para a empresa no aspecto econômico.The current time of great competitiveness to companies puts the challenge of adapting to this new reality. A company is constantly interacting with the environment in which it operates always meeting the expectations of all involved as their customers, employees, suppliers, the community to which it belongs, and especially to its shareholders. Opposite the organizations are professionals who have a duty to meet all these expectations with the constant search for better results. In the contemporary financial accounting process management, which aims to meet the fundamental principles of accounting and external users, does not meet the needs of internal users in the management process and decision making. The management Accounting is one of the most studied and targeted areas because it assumes the role of contributing to all possible mechanisms that managers can drive businesses to success, backed by responsive, timely and above all, reliable information. Management Accounting has the main purpose to occupy the space between the financial accounting, business operations, and the governing body with the task of formatting and ensure management model focused on information systems, measurement and accounting model for responsibility, that will provide managers making the right decision with short term vision and strategic long-term vision. The area of Management Accounting should highlight the problems or solutions of economic and operational nature, must meet the managers in decision-making on various aspects that move the organization process. The coverage area of management accounting is increasing over the years. Therefore, the contributions of this area should be watching and listening for evolutionary new management, operational and market demands as they arise. The case study in HS Transportation showed the contribution of Managerial Accounting in the construction of a new management model, structured through the divisional accounting, or accounting for accountability, with the implementation of an information system and measurement model, given the managers in process of decision making and increase value for the company in the economic aspect.

The research findings and proposed suggestions would serve as a reference for the development of accounting-related curricula and teaching strategies in the future. To achieve the above objectives, this study first established the theoretic foundation through literature review, and based on it to design the instructional plan, instructional content, and various scales necessary to the experimental design. Also, a proper computer network application system was selected to make for the web-based teaching materials of “accounting”. After all the research tools were settled, students of three classes in National Kaohsiung Hospitality College (NKHC) were selected as research subjects. Students in the first-year class of the 4-year hotel management program were assigned to the experimental group 1, which were treated with “the creative problem solving strategy on web-based collaborative method”. Students in the first-year class of the 2-year hotel management program were assigned to the experimental group 2, with "the web-based collaborative method”adopted, and students in the first-year class of the 4-year leisure recreation tourism program were assigned to the control group, with “the traditional lecturing method" adopted. This study employed the quasi-experimental method to perform a pre-test on all the subjects before the experimental instruction and a post-test on all the subjects again after the experimental instruction. Finally, the collected data were statistically analyzed. The major findings were summarized as follows: 1. In the aspect of academic achievement The result showed that the difference among the three groups reached the significance level, and the achievement of the experimental 1 was significantly better than that of the control group. 2.

These models are used for detection of possible manipulation in reported accounting data. The aim is also to determine their potential as well as their limitations. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the essence of creative accounting. The second part provides an analysis of selected items of financial statements in relation to the creative accounting practices.
