But a widely accepted view in the literature is that the impact of delta on misreporting is unclear because delta-related rewards (e.g., gains from insider trading) and risks (e.g., detection of fraud) likely offset each other. In this paper, we predict and find a concave association between managers’ portfolio delta and misreporting propensity, and the misreporting curve’s changing maximum points depending on the levels of various risk and reward factors. Our results are consistent with managers who reduce opportunistic misreporting at a higher level of equity incentives to avoid the increasing marginal costs of misreporting.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting and Public Policy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46358742","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}

The JOBS Act weakens the sensitivity of IPO issuance to stock market fluctuations, and the effect is due to reduced disclosure provisions. As proprietary costs increase, the adverse effect of the JOBS Act on post-IPO delisting risk becomes greater, and this interactive effect is mainly due to the reduced disclosure provisions.

It has been determined that the main problems of tax policy, taking into account the introduction of martial law, hinder the development of entrepreneurial activity, lead to a decrease in production, a decrease in investment in the national economy, a reduction in incomes of the population, an increase in defense spending and state debt due to dependence on foreign aid and loans, which in general, it can lead to a decrease in the country's defense capability and security, in particular, its financial sovereignty.

The authors of the article also consider the importance of international cooperation to improve the efficiency of tax policy, in particular, in the area of concluding tax agreements and openness of tax registries. Gaining access to tax registries contributes to the fight against the shadow economy and crime, as it will allow you to control financial transactions and identify undeclared income. In particular, the conclusion of tax agreements between countries can reduce double taxation and stimulate the investment climate. \u0000It is revealed that undeclared economic activity, which is one of the forms of the shadow economy, and the lack of effective control over compliance with tax laws, leads to an increase in tax losses, which in turn affects the financial stability of the state. The importance of developing and implementing an effective tax administration system in the context of the National Revenue Strategy (which is one of the “structural beacons” declared in the Memorandum on Economic and Financial Policy with the IMF, which will avoid tax evasion, reduce the risks of financial instability and ensure stable growth in revenues) is noted. to the state budget It is noted that the successful implementation of the tax policy reform requires responsibility on ","PeriodicalId":48070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting and Public Policy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86229253","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}

It is proposed to strengthen the adaptability of plans to the requirements of the management system; the principles of improvement of the plans were formed (in terms of their standardization and content content). On the basis of the method of generalization and critical analysis, the main problem areas in planning have been identified, for which the application of analysis and its methods will be a reasonable solution. Attention is focused on areas of improvement and the planning algorithm in accordance with the developed author's approach. The development of such an approach is based on an assessment and analysis for the purpose of identifying problems in planning. Thanks to these methods, a study of the indicators of financial provision of health care was also carried out, directions for solving management tasks were formed in terms of improving planning and analytical work.
