The carbon emission disclosure was measured by scoring a checklist of the carbon emission disclosure. The media exposure, environmental performance, type of industry, company size, profitability and leverage are the determinants of the carbon emission disclosure. This research used secondary data with the population of all the non-financial sector public companies that joined environmental awards (PROPER) from 2014 – 2017. The 21 samples of companies were selected by using the purposive sampling technique. This research used the multiple linear regression using Eviews 10. The results proved that media exposure, type of industry and profitability have a positive and significant influence on the carbon emission disclosure, whereas environmental performance, company size and leverage have no influence on the carbon emission disclosure. This research contributes to the development of green accounting in Indonesia and expects that related parties can develop a better evaluation and planning in increasing the carbon emission disclosure of companies in Indonesia.","PeriodicalId":378060,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting and Auditing: Research & Practice","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129458314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Elevating Professional Reasoning in Auditing. Psycho-Professional Factors Affecting Auditor’s Professional Judgement and Skepticism","authors":"D. Deliu","doi":"10.5171/2020.804680","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5171/2020.804680","url":null,"abstract":"The behaviour, as well as the professional conduct, both corroborated with the implications of the decisions taken by each professional in the field in which he carries out his activity, has represented the subject of researches in many disciplines, such as: psychology, medicine, economics and law. This aspect leads to the fact that the exercise of professional judgment is a process indispensable to each field of activity. In this regard, and especially in the context of this paper, it is important to specify that the assessment of the professional judgment’s quality and correctness is a difficult issue, especially for the situation in which, professionals’opinions may be different. The issue of professional judgment and decision-making process has an interdisciplinary character, being treated in areas such as: psychology, medicine, law, accounting, etc. The interdisciplinary approach of this process gives it a high degree of complexity. Facts also revealed, by the large number of researches in the specialty literature, the diversity of factors that compete in the foundation of the professional judgment and decision-making process. Auditors’ role and responsibilities is a controversial topic that has generated, in recent years, many discussions among specialists in the field. With the economic changes caused by the global crisis that \"poisoned\" the entire world, the risks to which auditors are subject to have grown and diversified considerably. This paper explored the ways in which the audit mission’s efficiency is given by a theoretical and practical approach of the whole process. Therefore, this paper aims to present a model able to depict the picture of the main psycho-professional traits that characterize the behaviour involved in exercising this process of professional judgment. The paper adopted a descriptive methodology in outlining the influence of psychological traits for an effective reasoning. Precisely, it tested the causal processes by which certain abilities and traits of the auditor influence the quality of the audit mission. The findings of this paper point out the fact that in addition to the theoretical knowledge related to a professional training, it is necessary that the auditor, who carries on his activity, has sufficient experience, communication and teamwork skills, the ability to distinguishe the important and relevant elements for the fulfilment of his duties, and the responsibility regarding his tasks. The conclusion was reached that the manifestation of a skeptical and objective attitude contributes to the exercise of control over the decisions taken and the results obtained. Moreover, the combination of professional qualities and competences with psychological ones aims to provide correct, clear and compelling solutions for beneficiaries of the audit report. The paper proposes that further research efforts could empirically assess the extent to which psychological elements can influence auditors’ professional judgment ","PeriodicalId":378060,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting and Auditing: Research & Practice","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133455478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is limited research conducted on the MAPs being implemented in the SMEs, which is apparent in this study. As a part of the research methodology, a survey was conducted with the SMEs in the manufacturing sector of Malaysia. The research article demonstrates that the involvement and implementation of MAPs differ in different organisations; it ranges from the traditional approach to a more sophisticated approach in its implementation. The most commonly used accounting practices for management in the organisations include performance management system and costing systems. On the other hand, in terms of sophisticated approach, the larger organisations frequently make use of the MAPs in accordance with the theoretical arguments that are made in the context of the impact of size in adopting such practices. The findings of the study also indicate that there are certain MAPs that are related to the organisational performance. These practices hold a significant relationship with the productivity and performance of SMEs, which has helped in reinforcing the significance of such practices in today’s business environment.","PeriodicalId":378060,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting and Auditing: Research & Practice","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133350306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
