We illustreren dat hoewel meer virtueel werk de prestaties van controleteams kan verminderen, de controlekwaliteit als hoog wordt ervaren – ook bij een toegenomen mate van virtueel teamwerk.1 Verder tonen we dat virtueel teamwerk niet intrinsiek goed of slecht is, maar om een afweging vraagt tussen flexibiliteit en structurele nadelen, zoals beperkte leermomenten. Ook tonen we hoe accountantskantoren optimale omstandigheden kunnen scheppen voor virtuele auditteams door het bevorderen van leergedrag en empowerend leiderschap.","PeriodicalId":506079,"journal":{"name":"Maandblad voor Accountancy en Bedrijfseconomie","volume":"13 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140660529","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}

De auteurs van dit artikel identificeren vijf essentiële onderwerpen voor de vertrouwensrelatie tussen ondernemingen en hun stakeholders: fraude, de scope van de werkzaamheden, de techniek van informatievoorziening, het kwaliteitsbouwwerk rondom informatievoorziening en de integriteit en rechte rug van de professionals zelf. Zij pleiten voor een opleidingsstructuur met een volledige integratie tussen theorie en praktijk, en stellen dat de toekomstige accountant zich moet specialiseren en deel moet uitmaken van een multidisciplinair team, om in de informatiebehoefte van stakeholders te kunnen voorzien. Dit zou het werkveld niet alleen verbreden en interessanter maken, maar ook meer jonge mensen aantrekken om tekorten aan menskracht op te lossen. De auteurs roepen opleidingsdirecteuren op om de regie te nemen en benadrukken het belang van permanente educatie en de actieve betrokkenheid van jonge assistenten bij het leerproces.","PeriodicalId":506079,"journal":{"name":"Maandblad voor Accountancy en Bedrijfseconomie","volume":"85 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140665342","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}

In this article, we share insights on how three other professions – healthcare, law and aviation – have approached challenges similar to those currently faced by accounting educators. First, we show how healthcare education deals with ever-growing amounts of knowledge that young professionals should master. Second, we share how law educators have developed a new post-graduate approach linking theory and practice. Third, we demonstrate how aviation training fosters competence development without overloading the curriculum.","PeriodicalId":506079,"journal":{"name":"Maandblad voor Accountancy en Bedrijfseconomie","volume":"57 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140664592","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}

In dit artikel pleiten wij voor een versterking van het professionele fundament van accountants met behulp van denkinstrumenten uit de filosofie.

Our review emphasizes the importance of understanding personality traits and considering them in the recruitment phase and throughout an auditor’s career. Recognizing the variation in auditors’ personalities and understanding their interplay within audit practices are relevant for improving and refining the profession.","PeriodicalId":506079,"journal":{"name":"Maandblad voor Accountancy en Bedrijfseconomie","volume":"35 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140663239","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 goal of IFRS 16 was to enhance reporting quality and provide a more faithful representation of the financial statements. Data from 3,955 firms using IFRS and 1,433 using US GAAP were analyzed. Firms reporting under IFRS obtained larger loan sizes, although the difference with firms reporting under US GAAP is insignificant. They also received lower borrowing rates, and shorter maturities. IFRS 16 has a reinforcing effect towards loan contracting for sophisticated lenders, defined as banks, for the borrowing rate and maturities. For loan size, IFRS 16 has a reinforcing effect for unsophisticated lenders, defined as trade creditors.","PeriodicalId":506079,"journal":{"name":"Maandblad voor Accountancy en Bedrijfseconomie","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139147194","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 main theme was ‘Auditors and their judgments’. In this respect, also the role of technology was frequently discussed. 'Is artificial intelligence going to replace the auditor?', was the obvious, but important, thought-provoking question. This question was mainly discussed regarding the extent to which technology can help the auditor during the conduct of an audit. Routine actions will increasingly be taken over by technology. Also, technology is better able than humans to detect trends and inconsistencies. However, judgment will remain essential.","PeriodicalId":506079,"journal":{"name":"Maandblad voor Accountancy en Bedrijfseconomie","volume":" 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139143795","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}
