This problem is particularly prevalent during the evidence evaluation phase of the audit, when auditors face the greatest time constraints. Empowerment theory suggests people overcome constraints and produce higher quality work when they feel empowered (i.e., capable of navigating the course of their work). Based on this theory, we develop an intervention that combines a professional skepticism charge code with supervisor support. Using an experiment, we predict and find that when fraud is present during evidence evaluation, auditors with our intervention recognize a greater number of fraud evidence items and identify more procedures that effectively target fraud. However, when fraud is absent, these auditors are, appropriately, no more likely to perform more work than other auditors. This study contributes to theory and practice as our theory-driven intervention improves auditors’ performance in an area where they have been deficient in practice.","PeriodicalId":8737,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral & Experimental Accounting eJournal","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77287691","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}

We expect a CAM disclosure increases disclosure costs and implies expanded auditor support for both types of activities; but we expect implied auditor support to be valued more highly for risk-increasing than for risk-decreasing activities. As a result, we predict that a CAM disclosure decreases managers’ risk-decreasing activities (due to increased disclosure costs) more than managers’ risk-increasing activities (as the implied auditor support counteracts the increased disclosure costs). We find evidence consistent with our prediction across multiple experiments. Our study sheds light on unintended consequences of a CAM disclosure and provides insight to relevant parties as the new standard goes into effect.","PeriodicalId":8737,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral & Experimental Accounting eJournal","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91163975","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}

As business strategy affects the information environment and financial performance of firms, we expect the readability of narrative disclosures to vary with the particular business strategy that a firm pursues. In accord with this expectation, we find that firms with prospector‐type business strategies produce less readable narratives, while those with defender‐type business strategies produce more readable narratives. We also document that the association between strategy and readability is partially mediated by organisational performance, although the mediation effect is rather modest. These findings are robust when subjected to a series of sensitivity tests.","PeriodicalId":8737,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral & Experimental Accounting eJournal","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88528696","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}

Current value follows the efficient financial market (EFM) hypothesis - which abstracts away from economic realization - as guidance for the financial market investment process through ignorance and hazard. This chapter takes a systemic perspective on the formation of financial market prices over time and circumstances. Our financial system approach relaxes that EFM hypothesis by distinguishing and specifying both (i) the timely provision and treatment of firm-specific information, and (ii) the aggregating market price fixing that assures the ongoing matching between market orders which may depend on the latter information. From this systemic perspective, fair value regimes increase market volatility and market exuberance with inefficient allocative effects, although the correlation of accounting information with the market price series is improved.","PeriodicalId":8737,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral & Experimental Accounting eJournal","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87812193","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}

This study adopted the stewardship theory as a theoretical background to develop an empirical framework for examining the influence of ethical professional standards on financial reporting practices in less developed countries. The result of this study however, shows that there is a low degree of adoption. The most prevalent of these factors are greediness and self-interest of the accountant while the least factor is lack of will to sanction violations of clearly defined ethical codes of conduct.

By conducting sentiment analysis of 23,984 IDRs of the Chinese listed companies from 2004-2012, we find that the tone of IDRs is positively related with future firm performance. We also posit that the tone of IDRs and its association with firm performance depends on director’s incentives to monitor. Our results suggest that independent directors with greater career concerns (i.e., young directors, an expert in ac-counting or finance) are more critical in evaluating firm fundamentals and express more neg-ative tone in their reports. The relationship between the negative tone of IDRs and future firm performance is stronger for firms with greater monitoring needs. Overall, our evidence is consistent with the conjecture that career concerns motivate independent directors to dissem-inate information to external stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":8737,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral & Experimental Accounting eJournal","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79418464","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}

Competitive advantage is reflected via the fade rate at which the firm's economic returns regress over time towards the cost of capital. Intangible assets are typically considered the cause and driving force for achieving competitive advantage. However, using company examples, which include firms' long-term life-cycle charts, I introduce the idea that the root cause of competitive advantage is actually the firm's knowledge-building culture that generates intangible assets such as patents, organizational routines, network advantages, brand names, and the like. The final slides contain suggestions (especially relevant to business students) for understanding and participating in a knowledge-building culture.","PeriodicalId":8737,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral & Experimental Accounting eJournal","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79616927","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}
