Design/methodology/approach: Two within-subjects experiments were designed to test non-professional investors’ perception regarding the impact of audit quality on their desirability to invest and their estimates of firm value in a single audit scenario and a joint audit scenario. Non-parametric statistical tests were used to test the research hypotheses. Findings: In a single audit scenario, investors perceive a superior quality for the audit services provided by a big 4 versus a non-big 4. In the case of a joint audit, the Accountability State Authority does not have the same superiority of audit quality versus a big 4 firm when it comes to Egyptian non-professional investors’ perception for the audit quality provided. Research limitations/implications: This paper uses postgraduate students that are registered in the financial accounting and auditing diploma in the faculty of commerce– Alexandria University as a proxy for non-professional investors. Real investors were difficult to recruit as subjects for the experiment conducted. Social and practical implications: The results of the study imply a lower non-professional investors’ perception for the quality of the audit services provided by the governmental body in Egypt, which is responsible for auditing all financial matters for governmental units. This result is alarming and needs immediate attention from the governmental bodies in Egypt. What is original/value of paper? This paper is the first to examine the impact of audit quality on nonprofessional investors’ desirability to invest and their estimates of firm value in Egypt. The paper focuses on the audit quality of the Accountability State Authority in comparison with that of the Big 4 firms, which was not examined before in Egypt. The paper contributes to the existing literature examining audit quality services in emerging markets.","PeriodicalId":39005,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Digital Accounting Research","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74366357","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}

The study adopted the expo facto research design and sampled 51 companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange using stratified random sampling techniques from all the sectors from the 2000-2016 periods. Descriptive and Panel data regression statistics were employed in the analysis of the effect of earnings persistence on firm performance. Pre and post estimation tests were carried out: variance inflation factor (VIF) showed no evidence of multi-collinearity among the variables, correlation matrix test did not revealed any multi-collinearity problem, normality test using Jarque-Bera test of normality posed no problem to the study. While Breusch-Pagan/Cook-Wesberg tests to assess the variance in the error terms (residuals) of the models, the results indicated that all the models did not suffer from heteroskedasticity. Notwithstanding, panel robust standard error (PRSR) was employed to control the heteroscedasticity. The study revealed that earnings persistence (EPERS) had a negative and no significant effect on firm performance (Tobin’s Q). Leverage (LEV) exhibited a positive relationship whereas firm size (FRMSIZE) revealed a negative relationship with Tobin’s Q (TQ). Also based on findings, a weak growth trend was established between EPERS and Tobin’s Q. Earnings persistence resulting from discretionary and opportunistic earnings could give inaccurate forecasting ability. Consequently, the study recommended that analysts should be watchful of the stable occurrence of earnings when evaluating reported financial statements, without which, predictions made from them could have negative and misleading implications.","PeriodicalId":39005,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Digital Accounting Research","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76388198","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}

By implementing IS risk management organizations can improve operation efficiencies and save cost of risk investment. Meanwhile, bank is an institution that relies heavily on information technology for the network of business activities therefore; there is need to be aware of various risks associated with the usage of information system such as criminal threat and natural disasters. The present study examines the effect of perceived critical success factors for information system risk management implementation in the bank sector. Data were obtained from top executives of the selected banks using questionnaire instrument. The study employed descriptive correctional research design. The study population comprises of banks located in Oyo State South- Western part of Nigeria. Overall, 30 banks were selected for the study with four respondents from each bank. The questionnaire was pre-tested prior to actual distribution to the respondents. SPSS software was employed as analytical tool to test the study hypotheses using correlation and multiple regression analysis. Three factors were employed in the study; organization culture, organization structure and trust. The finding revealed that only organization culture was perceived to be positive critical factor for IS risk management implementation in the bank sector, while organizational structure and trust are in weak positions. Therefore, culture as an internal factor should be given priority in IS risk management implementation in the bank sector.","PeriodicalId":39005,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Digital Accounting Research","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74511364","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}

Although it does not violate tax regulations, this has the potential to make the government unable to obtain taxes optimally from the mining industry. Therefore, the government strives to establish and implement various regulations to prevent tax avoidance conducted by the mining companies. The objectives of this study are to: • Review and describe the effectiveness of Indonesian government regulations and legislation related to prevention of tax avoidance practices in mining companies in Indonesia; and • Reviewing and describing the compatibility between regulations and legislation with the provisions of taxation in Indonesia. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The research data was obtained using the documentation method and processed with the qualitative analysis techniques of Miles and Huberman which consisted of three stages of analysis, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study state that: • Regulations and legislation established and implemented by the Indonesian government to prevent tax avoidance in general are appropriate. However, these regulations and legislation have not been effectively used to overcome tax avoidance by mining companies; and • Regulations and legislation to prevent tax avoidance have met the provisions of taxation in Indonesia.","PeriodicalId":39005,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Digital Accounting Research","volume":"113 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79420601","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}
