Value relevance of accounting information and stock price reaction: Empirical evidence from China

Value relevance of accounting information and stock price reaction: Empirical evidence from China

Author(s): Md. Jahidur Rahman,Ruoling Liu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

Research question: This study investigates whether the release of financial accounting information is related to the change in stock prices. Motivation: The relationship between accounting information and stock price reaction is well documented in the United States and other major developed economies. However, what is the relationship between share prices and accounting information in emerging economies? According to the standards of Wall Street, London, and Tokyo, the emerging capital markets in the post-communist countries are very small, but they can be a major source of capital for economic growth and development. Idea: For investors, investment decisions about stock should be made by analyzing factors that can influence the stock price. Investors need to have information to determine whether they can benefit from the shares they bought. The financial condition of companies is one of the major information that investors should know. Data: We obtained data from the A-share market in Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchange of 1,272 listed companies. Data from selected companies’ annual report in 2008-2018 and closing share prices in 2009-2019 were collected. The sample data were from the China Stock Market and Accounting Research database. Tools: This study used a stepwise regression model to select variables that can provide significant effects and analyzed the regression of added variables and stock price. Findings: We find that value relevance of accounting number, profitability, liquidity, and operational efficiency are positively related to stock price reaction. Other accounting variables, such as earnings per share, current ratio, quick ratio, and debt to equity ratio, have a more significant influence on the market share price. A linear relationship is observed between stock prices and earning per share, current ratio, and quick ratio according to the stepwise regression method. Contribution: This study provides new insights for academic research and provides additional meaningful and useful information regarding the relevance of companies’ accounting information for foreign and domestic investors, specifically domestic investors. This research has scientific and practical usefulness for investors who care about their returns on investments.

Author(s): Viorica Iuga (Dîndăreanu) / Language(s): English Issue: 6/2020

By means of the expenditure accounting specific for the national statistical sector can be quantified the efforts made towards the implementation of strategic objectives, general and specific objectives related to the activities carried out by relevant public entities that collect, centralize, aggregate, analyze and process economic, financial, social information and so on. The assessment made by the internal audit on the accounting of expenditure specific to the national statistical sector adds value to this complex activity, which is particularly important for a public entity management. Following the identification and assessment of the accounting vulnerability in the national statistical system in terms of internal audit, the hypothesis is validated according to which the internal audit activity contributes to the identification of strengths and weaknesses of the accounting of this system.

Synchronized Accounting - the Vector of Progress and Performance in Economic Entities

Author(s): Magdalena Danescu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

Synchronous management accounting consists in identifying specific operations that an economic entity can perform internally to find the most efficient solutions to eliminate certain dysfunctions in the entire value chain, in creating certain much higher values, which can be shared by all actors in the chain. Synchronous management requires a cultural change, but also a management system and an accounting system. A change in organizational culture that is not supported by an adequate accounting system and relevant performance indicators is inevitably doomed to failure. The new tools, techniques and methods characteristic of synchronized management accounting advocate the abandonment of the paradigm of scientific organization for a new paradigm that considers the economic entity as a system.

niniejszy numer rozpoczyna 45. rok wydawania „Zeszytów Teoretycznych Rachunkowości” (ZTR), w których do 2020 roku opublikowano łącznie ponad 2110 artykułów naukowych, w tym 200 w języku angielskim. Do końca 2020 roku zostało wydanych 110 numerów ZTR oraz tom specjalny bez wskazania numeracji opublikowany w 1985 roku. W latach 2000–2020 czasopismo ukazywało się z ciągłą, podwójną numeracją kolejnych tomów. Do numeru 110 (166), wydanego jako piąty w 2020 roku, pierwsza liczba oznaczała numer opublikowany pod tytułem „Zeszyty Teoretyczne Rachunkowości”, a druga liczba, w nawiasie, numer ciągły, licząc wszystkie wydania od pierwszego tomu w 1977 roku o pierwotnym tytule „Zeszyty Teoretyczne Rady Naukowej”. W ostatnich latach ukazywało się rocznie pięć numerów ZTR. Od 2021 roku ZTR będą wydawane jako kwartalnik ze zmienioną numeracją wydań – od Vol. 45, Nr 1. Jak dotychczas celem tego czasopisma jest publikowanie artykułów polskich i zagranicznych autorów wnoszących znaczący wkład w rozwój nauki rachunkowości. ZTR stanowią płaszczyznę prezentacji wyników badań naukowych dotyczących historycznych i bieżących zagadnień z zakresu teorii, praktyki i dydaktyki rachunkowości. Zapraszamy pracowników naukowych polskich i zagranicznych uczelni do dalszego wspólnego tworzenia jedynego w Polsce czasopisma naukowego z zakresu rachunkowości, które już od 45 lat jest wspierane finansowo przez Zarząd Główny Stowarzyszenia Księgowych w Polsce. Vol. 45, Nr 1 zawiera osiem artykułów naukowych (pięć w języku polskim i trzy w języku angielskim) oraz – jak co roku w numerze ZTR wydawanym jako pierwszy – wykaz konferencji naukowych z zakresu rachunkowości i finansów planowanych przez polskie uczelnie w 2021 roku. Ze względu na ograniczenia spowodowane pandemią koronawirusa SARS-CoV-2 konferencje te mają się odbyć w trybie zdalnym, za pośrednictwem platform komunikacji internetowej. Wszystkie artykuły zamieszczone w tym numerze ZTR prezentują wyniki najnowszych badań polskich pracowników naukowych specjalizujących się w rachunkowości. Spośród pięciu prac w języku polskim jedna ma charakter historyczny. Trzy artykuły w języku angielskim publikujemy w dziale pt. W kierunku umiędzynarodowienia / Towards internatonalization.Zapraszając Państwa do wnikliwej lektury wszystkich artykułów, szczególną uwagę kieruję na artykuł o tematyce historycznej autorstwa Mikołaja Turzyńskiego. Jest to kolejna praca autora prowadzącego badania w nurcie nowej historii rachunkowości. Artykuł dotyczy raportów finansowych z procesu Zagłady na przykładzie operacji „Reinhardt”, przeprowadzonej przez nazistów w Generalnym Gubernatorstwie w latach 1942–1943. Artykuł jest rezultatem badania o charakterze archiwalnym z wykorzystaniem tekstów zachowanych sprawozdań przedstawiających wyniki finansowe operacji „Reinhardt”, przygotowanych przez Odila Globocnika i Friedricha Katzmanna, wraz z dokumentacją. Autor dokonał zbadania dyskursu rachunkowości, w tym jej języka, stosowanego w zachowanych raportach finansowych z Zagłady, sporządzonych przez nazistów. Zastosował w tym celu podejście do analizy dyskursu zaproponowane przez M. Foucaulta, który, przeprowadzając analizę władzy, wskazał, w jaki sposób dyskurs wspiera władzę oraz władza promuje określone formuły dyskursu. Artykuł stanowi wkład do badań nad wykorzystaniem rachunkowości w celach ideologicznych. Dążąc do rozszerzenia grona autorów i wzrostu umiędzynarodowienia ZTR, Zespół Redakcyjny prosi polskich autorów o zgłaszanie intersujących artykułów naukowych w języku angielskim mieszczących się w zakresie tematycznym czasopisma, w tym napisanych we współautorstwie z zagranicznymi badaczami.

GROUPING OF MAJOR CHANGES IN CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ANALYSIS OF NEW CHALLENGES

GROUPING OF MAJOR CHANGES IN CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ANALYSIS OF NEW CHALLENGES

Author(s): Liudmila Shkulipa / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

This article aims to research the major changes in the Conceptual Framework of Financial Reporting; to find out the new gaps in the current document; to group the changes into categories; to analyze the current difficulties and consequences of these changes for a consistent understanding between standard-setters and practitioners. The Onion research model based on the quantitative data collection with elements of descriptive analysis was considered as important contributions to the research methodology of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting investigation. As a result, a comparative analysis of the financial reporting concepts was made between July 1989, September 2010, and March 2018. The implications of results are two-fold. On the one hand, the revised Conceptual Framework is a more comprehensive set of concepts that enhance the understanding between practitioners and standard-setters. On the other hand, it consists of the new gaps most of them in the “Updating” category. It is concluded that this innovation complicates the reporting process for practitioners because it requires using of additional judgments. Besides, the investigation shows some IFRS are not justified within only the Conceptual Framework that might be the subject for further research.

U ODBRANU PRIRODNE PORODICE

Author(s): Vladimir Dimitrijević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3-4/2019

This article deals with a defense of a natural family from the ideology of the political homosexuality which is against family, supported by „gender“ theory which brings biological gender down to a social construction. The goal of the ideology of political homosexuality and radical feminism is to infiltrate into the Serbia’s schooling system, by which the new educational ideology, similar to the one from the period of communism, is implemented. The citizens of Serbia have the right to know what’s happening and to defend natural family from the new ideological assailants. This article was used as a base for a lawsuit at the High court in Belgrade against the author of it by the NGO „Da se zna“ („Let it be known“).

POVRATAK DELIKTA MIŠLJENJA U SRBIJI: SLUČAJ VLADIMIRA DIMITIRIJEVIĆA

Author(s): Jovica Trkulja / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3-4/2019

The author pleads that the freedoms of thought and expression are to be unconditionally respected as the core values of any civilized society that aspires to be democratic, highlighting the lawsuit against Vladimir Dimitrijević, who has been taken to court for publicly affirming the traditional, natural family. The author first offers an exhaustive overview of the historical evolution of the concept of thought crime and of the ways in which it has been abused for suppressing free critical thinking in authoritarian regimes. He points out that the European Convention on Human Rights guarantees freedom of expression, as well as the right to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority, and that a modern, democratic and lawful state differs from a totalitarian one in that it acknowledges differences of opinion and does not penalize their public expression. This becomes particularly relevant at the moment when the organs tasked with the protection of human rights adopt censorial competences to impose a decreed brand of „political correctness“. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the history of thought crime in former Yugoslavia and Serbia. This is followed by a detailed survey of the case of Vladimir Dimitrijević, who was been sanctioned in accordance with the Anti-Discrimination Law (Law on Prohibition of Discrimination) for publicly opposing initiatives for legalizing same-sex marriage. He concludes that Dimitrijević used his natural right to publicly state his opinion and that freedom of speech and thought cannot be qualified as discrimination. The Opinion of the Commissioner for the Protection of Equality and the lawsuit against Dimitrijević aim to prevent the expression of any opinion that might differ from the official narrative. This stands in direct violation of the basic right of freedom of expression, as defined in international law, the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia, Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and Articles 9 and 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantee freedom of thought and expression and freedom of conscience, belief and manifesting one’s religion. It is entirely possible that some views and phrases in Dimitrijević’s text were not formulated as well as they could have been and that some of his claims lack more exhaustive explanations. However, a critical evaluation of his views and their potential rectification would make sense only in an academic milieu, among experts, at a court of knowledge and scholarship, not in (dis)qualifications of public organs and certainly not in a courthouse as a criminal case. The lawsuit against Vladimir Dimitrijević is a lawsuit against human thought – a return of thought crime to the courthouse.

Audit quality and earnings management after communicating Key Audit Matters (KAMs) in the UAE – audacity and auditors’ perspectives

Audit quality and earnings management after communicating Key Audit Matters (KAMs) in the UAE – audacity and auditors’ perspectives

Author(s): Yasser Barghathi,Simran Mirani,Naimat U. Khan / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

Research Question: Does the introduction of Key Audit Matters (KAMs) increase audit quality and reduce agency cost associated with it? Does the introduction of KAMs decrease Earnings Management (EM) and agency cost associated with it? Motivation: There have been many studies in the past few years testing the impact of KAMs on the quality of the audit and EM in the developed economies like the United States and United Kingdom, however very few studies exist in the context of the UAE. Moreover, many studies on this topic uses quantitative techniques whereas this study employs qualitative method of interview to judge the perception of auditors about the audit quality and EM in the UAE after the introduction of KAMs. Idea: The research seeks the perception of auditors about the quality of audit and EM after the introduction of communicating KAMs in the UAE. Data and Tools: A semi-structured interview is conducted with thirteen auditors –six Big-4 and seven Non-Big 4 audit firms. Findings: The findings show that the introduction of KAMs enhances the quality of audit in the form of better communication and transparency, especially, in big listed firms. It increases the managerial accountability which results in minimizing the agency cost of equity. However, the study also reveals that the auditors have the audacity to confess the pressures from clients and audit firms which lead to the hidden anomalies and EM practices that resulted in decreasing the audit quality, especially in non-Big 4 firms. Contribution: The research shows that there is no uniformity in audit practice in UAE where own nationals (Emirates) enjoy more flexibility compare to foreigners. In addition, a difference exists in the audit practices of Big-4 and Non-Big 4 auditors. The non-existence of stringent audit regulatory body lead to effect the overall quality of the audit. The government should implement a uniform and robust audit regulatory body to ensure the audit quality.

The impact of intrinsic satisfaction factors on affective, normative, and continuance commitment of accounting professionals in Tunisia

The impact of intrinsic satisfaction factors on affective, normative, and continuance commitment of accounting professionals in Tunisia

Author(s): Lassaad Abdelmoula / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

Research question: The objective of the present research work was to examine the effect of the intrinsic determinants of satisfaction on the accounting professionals’ organizational commitment (OC) in Tunisia. Motivation: Only few works have focused on the accounting profession. As a result, our research aimed to bridge this gap in the literature and focus on accounting professionals.Idea: Our study aimed to examine the effect of intrinsic determinants of satisfaction on accounting professionals’ affective, normative, and continuance commitments in Tunisia.Data: As part of the research, we chose to use two administration methods: face-to-face and internet surveys. The methodology was applied to 180 accounting professionals. Out of 204 accounting professionals, we received 192 responses. A total of 12 questionnaires were rejected due to missing data. Thus, 180 collected questionnaires were considered. Tools: To the ends of our research, we relied on the principal component analysis to reduce the items to a limited number of components. The three dimensions of OC, i.e., affective, normative, and continuance, were assessed concurrently to present the existing interactions for each equation. This choice is justified by the presence of a high endogeneity risk between the intrinsic factors and each dimension. To surmount this problem, the simultaneous equation model was estimated by means of the seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) approach.Findings: Our findings prove that intrinsic determinants of satisfaction, namely achievement, advancement, work itself, recognition, and growth, have a positive and significant effect on the three dimensions of OC.Contribution: Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the effect of intrinsic determinants of satisfaction on the three dimensions of OC of accounting professionals.

Understanding management accountants’ satisfaction: A conceptual study

Understanding management accountants’ satisfaction: A conceptual study

Author(s): Nikhil Chandra Shil,Muhammad Ehsanul Hoque,Mahmuda Akter / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

Purpose: The study attempts to explain management accountants’ satisfaction in terms of the job they do and the system they use, develops a profile of factors impacting such satisfaction, and analyzes the implications of satisfaction on contextual factors like value creation, profitability etc.Design / Methodology / Approach: Based on a structured questionnaire survey, the study deploys a quantitative research methodology to identify the satisfiers of management accountants covering a rich profile of respondents from 113 manufacturing firms having their headquarters located in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. Contingency approach primarily leads to develop the basic theme of the study and it adopts positivistic paradigm of quantitative research. The results are analyzed through different descriptive and inferential statistical tools to draw conclusions through inductive method.Findings: Management accountants’ satisfaction is influenced by several factors which confirms the findings of other studies done on job satisfaction of employees. However, this study reveals that management accountants’ satisfaction does not depend on the system they use. This provides a scope for further study. Another important finding of the study that brings significant concern is that the satisfaction of management accountants fails to explain the changes in profitability of the firm.Practical implications: Management accountants are strategic partners to lead any venture towards success, but their satisfaction level was not studied before separately. This may be a reference work for future researchers who want to extend their studies in this area. At the same time, the findings of the study bring some modifications to the existing thoughts, like management accountants are indifferent on management accounting systems they use; management accountants share same motivators with other employees; and management accountants’ satisfaction fails to cause profitability of the firms. Thus, the study brings some promising areas for policy makers, researchers, and accounting professionals to commission particular research projects. Originality / Value: Studying job satisfaction and its impact on turnover intention and commitment are old fashioned research area. Factors affecting management accountants’ satisfaction and implication of such satisfaction are new areas of research which is an important value addition to the current body of knowledge.

Sustainability reporting and impression management: A case study in the oil  and gas industry

Sustainability reporting and impression management: A case study in the oil and gas industry

Author(s): Maria-Silvia Săndulescu / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

Research Question: How are corporate narratives used to build and restore corporate legitimacy? Motivation: Under certain circumstances, managers may be motivated to control stakeholders’ perception regarding organizational performance. As such, this study makes use of sustainability disclosures that were issued both prior and after a major incident in order to analyse the use of corporate narratives. Idea: The paper relies on the case of KazMunayGas International, with a view of analysing the evolution of the messages used in framing occupational safety issues. Data: The sustainability reports and corporate press releases issued by KMGI for the period 2015 and 2016 were explored.Tools: A manual content analysis was performed in order to evaluate the use of evaluations, repetitions and performance comparisons.Findings: A trend towards the use of positive evaluations of organizational performance was observed. Following the negative event, the use of several impression management strategies was documented. This reflected a general tendency to defend corporate legitimacy by favourably shaping the corporate image associated with occupational safety. Contribution: The paper aims to complement previous research on social and environmental disclosures that analysed the biased use of tone and graph distortions. In addition, the paper contributes to a literature that focused mainly on environmental disclosures by drawing on a case study that reveals occupational safety issues.

Are interaction effects of various media advertising on firm performance super-additive or sub-additive?

Are interaction effects of various media advertising on firm performance super-additive or sub-additive?

Author(s): Maqsood Iqbal Qureshi / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

Research Question: This study empirically investigates how various advertising media independently and jointly affect firms’ financial performance.Motivation: Advertising spending is one of the most significant budget items supporting marketing activities for most companies. However, in an era when media choices have become more numerous, firms remain uncertain about their media selection strategies and allocation of funds across various advertising media. There has been very limited effort to investigate interactive media advertising effects on firm performance and market valuation. Therefore, the primary motivation of this research is to examine individual and combined effects of various media advertising on firms’ financial performance Idea: This study examines various advertising media’s individual as well as interaction effects on firm performance.Data: Accounting data are downloaded from Datastream, except for advertising data. We obtained advertising data from AC Nielsen Meal. The resulting sample has 5165 firm years from 1998 to 2003.Tools: To empirically test interactive media advertising effects on firm performance, this study employed a linear regression model in which earnings of firm i in year t, Eit, can be expressed as function of tangible and intangible assets.Findings: The results of this research suggest that individually, print and electronic media each have a positive and significant effect on earnings, but each form of media weakens the effectiveness of other respective media. Contribution: Overall, the results of this study will help firms to make informed decisions to strategically integrate different media to maximize individual and combined effectiveness across all media types.

Determinants of the production and profitability of audit services in Tunisia

Determinants of the production and profitability of audit services in Tunisia

Author(s): Mouna Hamza,Salma Damak Ayadi,Khaled Hussainey / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

Purpose – This paper aims to identify the significant determinants of the production and profitability of audit services in Tunisia. Design/methodology/approach – Based on a sample of 299 audit engagements from Tunisian audit firms and spanning the period from 2016 to 2018, the researchers used Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression estimation to test the research hypotheses. Subsequently, the researchers summarized the variables by using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA).Findings –The study’s findings show a positive association between client size and audit effort and, more specifically, larger clients are found to be more profitable to audit firms. Interestingly, larger specialized audit firms assign more audit hours and are less profitable. The findings show, also, that audit firms are likely to perform fewer audit hours when they rely heavily on the client’s system and when the work is conducted during the busy season. Also, more audit effort is required when the engagement is a new one and when the firm previously provided the client with non-audit services.Originality/Value – This study contributes to audit pricing literature by constructing models for the production and profitability of audit services by examining how a pre-determined audit fees framework affects an auditor’s efforts and profits.

Institutional isomorphism, self-organisation and the adoption of management controls

Institutional isomorphism, self-organisation and the adoption of management controls

Author(s): Joshua Mandre,Joseph M. Ntayi,Levi B. Kabagambe,James Kagaari / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

Research Question: The purpose of this study is to examine whether self-organisation mediates the relationship between institutional isomorphism and the adoption of management controls. Motivation: Research on institutions has tended to emphasize how organizational processes are shaped by institutional forces that reinforce continuity and reward conformity. Such insight raises the question of how actors ever imagine changing institutions. Idea: The study blends institutionalism with complexity theory, for a better understanding of the micro/macro dynamics of organizations which lead to organizations adopting management controls.Data: The study employed a cross-sectional survey to collect data from 202 manufacturing firms, with the help of a multi-dimensional self-administered questionnaire.Tools: Data were analysed quantitatively using descriptive statistics, and PLS-SEM. The nature and strength of the relationships between the variables was tested using the bootstrapping methodFindings: This study established that organisations adopt management controls, as a means of reacting to isomorphic pressures present in the environment. However, the adoption process is enhanced by the self-organising capacity of the staff, within the firms.Contribution: The study represents a novel attempt to blend institutional and complexity theories in order to explain how organization actors can transform institutions in which they are embedded.

ANALYSIS OF IMPACT OF CHANGES IN IFRSs ON CONVERGENCE OF ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS IN WORLD

ANALYSIS OF IMPACT OF CHANGES IN IFRSs ON CONVERGENCE OF ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS IN WORLD

Author(s): Liudmila Shkulipa / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2021

The article examines the impact of updated IFRS on the current convergence of national accounting and reporting rules in Japan, the USA, China, France, Germany, the UK, and Ukraine based on a theoretical analysis of 59 rules and concepts of IFRS. The new differences between the updated IFRS and GAAP of these countries based on the comparative analysis were revealed. The results of the study show currently Ukraine (51%) and the United Kingdom (47%) are the most convergent with IFRS, although their degree of convergence has decreased significantly after recent innovations in IFRS; a new question arises for the UK after Brexit regarding the further application of IFRS; countries with strong national accounting traditions continue to avoid rapid changes in their GAAP; 4) the increase in the convergence of GAAP Japan with IFRS will not be possible shortly. The conclusion states that the main obstacle in the convergent process GAAP and IFRS is that: 1) IFRS are changing based on GAAP USA, rather than vice versa; 2) IFRS do not belong to the "stable to change standards", so users have a certain distrust of the declared high quality of IFRS. The study results add significant novelty to scientific and practical research on the impact of frequent changes in IFRS both locally and internationally.

Muhasebe Meslek Mensuplarının Entegre Raporlama ile İlgili Farkındalık Düzeylerinin Tespitine İlişkin Bir Araştırma

Author(s): Zeki Doğan,Asuda Yunusova / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 1/2021

Integrated reports are reports that contain financial and non-financial data or information belonging to an enterprise in a meaningful way. Therefore, the personnel, who will take part in the preparation and the presentation of these reports, must have sufficient training and experience in accounting theory and applications. Since many problems may occur during the integrated reporting process, it is of great importance for accounting professionals to take part in this process. In addition, professional accountants, who will take part in the preparation and the presentation of integrated reports, must have the necessary knowledge about integrated reporting. This study, which aimed to determine the awareness level of professional accountants about integrated reporting, presented the results of a survey-based research conducted on professional accountants who continue their activities in Kayseri.
