Taking advantage of the staggered implementation of phase III of the GTP from 2013 to 2016, we use a difference-in-differences design to examine whether strengthened tax enforcement impacts audit pricing. Using a sample of 2751 companies listed on Chinese stock exchanges from 2007 to 2016, we test and find support for our hypothesis that the implementation of GTP III leads to a reduction in </span>audit fees. We predict that GTP III decreases audit risks by improving </span></span>corporate tax<span> compliance and information transparency, which in turn reduces audit fees. Consistent with our prediction, the results show that the implementation of GTP III is associated with improved tax compliance (proxied by reduced tax avoidance and negative tax-related media coverage) and with improved information transparency (measured by reduced earnings management and analyst forecast errors). Our further analyses show that the effect of GTP III on audit pricing is more pronounced for companies in regions with higher fiscal pressure, worse tax compliance environment, and more severe corruption<span>. Furthermore, the effect is strengthened when auditors are from a Big 4 firm, have more experience, and have experience in the high-tech industries. Moreover, business complexity, industry competition, and business uncertainty attenuate the effect of GTP III on audit pricing. Overall, this study suggests that tax enforcement has an important impact on auditor behavior, with benefits extending beyond enhanced tax compliance.</span></span></span></div></div>","PeriodicalId":47996,"journal":{"name":"British Accounting Review","volume":"58 1","pages":"Article 101531"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145963217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whilst past research focuses on and challenges heteronormativity in the accounting workplace, we argue that accounting education plays a key role in shaping sexual norms in accounting. We begin by providing insights into how current accounting education largely neglects LGBTIQA+ perspectives, shaping a discourse around sexuality that reflects heteronormative accounting workplaces. We then build upon the theoretical backdrop of queer theory and critical pedagogy to develop LGBTIQA+ perspectives in accounting education. In doing so, we conceptually advance five lenses through which to design modes of education based on queer pedagogy. These lenses include question and deconstruction of normality, critical reflexivity, discomfort, imagination, and activism. Queering accounting pedagogy in this way can assist educators and students in addressing the concealment of LGBTIQA+ perspectives, thereby critically challenging the hidden curriculum of heteronormativity in accounting. The paper concludes by contending that queering accounting pedagogy can bring possibilities for broader classroom inquiry, democratic participation, social justice, meaningful dialogue, and mutually respectful educational practices in accounting.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47996,"journal":{"name":"British Accounting Review","volume":"58 1","pages":"Article 101516"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142637391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Beta regression was then applied to the index results to identify the determinants of the level of disclosure. The results converge with previous studies on the low disclosure of items related to the Legitimacy and Support perspective and the high disclosure of Operational Capacity indicators. The similar behaviour to developed countries can be explained by the strong influence of coercive isomorphism instruments, evidenced both in the disclosure of items related to public value and in the disclosure format. The quantitative analysis emphasises that financial efficiency, in terms of lower cost per student, and better governance, in terms of leadership, strategy and control, have an impact on the level of public value disclosure.

Using survey data from 152 middle managers in healthcare settings, we find that metric quality moderates the relationship between PM and interpersonal trust, which is subsequently positively linked with unit performance.
