Our findings reveal that changes in the central bank's policy rate have a statistically significant and economically important counter-cyclical effect on DeFi lending rates and DeFi asset growth. Specifically, an increase in the federal funds rate leads to a decline in DeFi asset growth. This outcome challenges the perceived independence of DeFi from traditional financial systems, suggesting the existence of a “decentralization illusion.” Notably, the results show that during periods of higher DeFi growth, the effects of the DeFi lending rate and investor attention on DeFi returns are significantly more pronounced. This is unlike the magnitude of the effect of the central bank's policy rate. The findings are robust to endogeneity tests.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143570495","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}

Given the space constraints increasingly facing journal articles, this requires a delicate balance between succinct mobilisation of general principles, discussion of how these relate to the situational specifics of field setting, research question and the many skilful practices that make up individual field studies. This is particularly challenging for emerging qualitative scholars who have little direct experience to draw on in striking such a balance. To support them in this challenge we propose the benefits of “instructively selective elaboration” as an approach to writing method sections. We argue that such an approach has the potential to earn a sense of trustworthiness of individual studies, but further to also contribute to field level discussions about situationally and methodologically appropriate choices in qualitative accounting research.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143477835","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}

Low-wage workers were disproportionately affected by wage cuts, prompting governments worldwide to introduce wage subsidy programs. One of these schemes was Australia's JobKeeper program. Despite initial praise, the initiative was later blamed for intensifying inequities. This paper draws on a Social Semiotic Heteroglossic approach and conducts a social listening analysis to explore public positions on accounting and accountability implications of the scheme on inequalities. Findings from Facebook media articles and comments reveal that public relied extensively on accounting discourse to denounce the scheme as inequitable and demand accountability. Accounting discourses were also used to admonish companies that profited from public funds. Importantly, the positions taken by commenters influenced the position in subsequent articles, prompting journalists to focus on the unequal treatment of larger corporations versus small businesses and welfare recipients. This paper highlights how the public leverages accounting to drive social change and advocate for equitable policies. Further, the paper provides a roadmap for accounting scholars to harness insights from social media. It introduces a theoretical framework for analysing how diverse voices utilise accounting to perceive, resist and challenge formal accountability.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143477845","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}

While much existing literature focuses on public blockchain governance, fewer investigate governance mechanisms of private and consortium blockchains, increasingly prevalent in society. We explore how blockchain systems enact governance using Beck et al.’s (2018) framework examining decision rights, accountability, and incentives. Interviews with eighteen blockchain experts reveal that public blockchains offer greater decision rights, less accountability and emphasise intrinsic incentives. In contrast, private and consortium blockchains adopt hierarchical governance where central entities regulate access, decision-making and behavioural norms. These systems prioritise extrinsic incentives and accountability than public blockchains. Our findings challenge the view of blockchain as purely decentralised, instead offering evidence of hybridised structures in practice. We also extend Beck et al.’s framework by studying three blockchain types and propose a systems and structure-based rationale for control in blockchains, as opposed to trust-based mechanisms (Pflueger et al. (2022)). Finally, we offer a variation on how responsibility and accountability depart, beyond extant MA studies (Burkert et al., 2011; Giraud et al., 2008) - suggesting that openness does not necessarily equate to enhanced accountability. These insights are crucial for understanding blockchain governance and have important implications for digital systems integration in organisations.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143418537","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}

Based on the Public Value Disclosure Index, the Management Reports of 65 Brazilian universities were subjected to a content analysis to measure the level of public value disclosure, both in general and for each perspective of the public value strategic triangle. 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. This study contributes by highlighting the importance of developing specific guidelines as an effective strategy for better adapting public value disclosure to contemporary requirements of transparency and accountability.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"135 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143418535","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 cryptocurrency sector has experienced multiple disruptions in recent years. By analysing two case studies representing such disruptions – Binance and FTX – the article presents red flags and extracts crucial lessons to help avoid similar episodes. The article finds that both cases, while distinct from each other, present similar lessons that should be noted by practitioners, regulators, and for the overall structure of blockchain platforms. These include lessons on risk management and investment diversification, corporate governance and ethical practices, transparency and disclosure requirements, and robust compliance frameworks. By examining the operational and financial indicators that were overlooked in these instances, the article aims to inform stakeholders—including investors, practitioners, and regulators—on best practices for cryptocurrency exchanges. It emphasizes the importance of sound corporate governance, effective risk management, and enhanced transparency to improve overall regulatory compliance and auditing effectiveness in the cryptocurrency sector.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"77 6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143072373","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}

It confirms FinTech credit's role in enhancing consumption structure, an important manifestation of the life quality, of MSE entrepreneurs who constitute the vast majority of the private-sector working population. Further analysis shows that the effect takes place through FinTech credit's positive impact on MSEs' operation.

Given the dearth of women at professorial level despite various institutional initiatives to reduce gender imbalances, it is critical that their careers be examined. We utilise the work of Bourdieu and studies on gender capital to interpret the influence and interplay of capitals within the career journeys of accounting and finance women professors from Australian universities. Our key findings show that women professors utilised various forms of social capital to advance their careers, including connecting with mentors who taught them the rules of the game and introduced them to powerful actors in the academic field. Interviewees leveraged economic capital through institutional and personal support and resources to progress their career and to enhance their social and cultural capital through valuable artefacts such as publications, and professional connections to world-renowned scholars. Turning to gender capital, we found that interviewees referred to the advantages flowing to them from both female capital and feminine capital. This study contributes to the literature on gender in the academic workplace and highlights the importance of gender capital to career progression.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143367360","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}

Further analyses reveal that management forecasts in response to cyber risk, while conveying more positive and long-term information, exhibit lower precision and accuracy.
