Deprival Value or Value to the Owner?—A Clarification

A critical examination of the asset valuation concepts of value to the owner and deprival value. It is argued that these concepts are not synonymous but are, indeed, totally disparate. Specifically, replacement cost is not a measure of value to the owner.     

会计政策选择的契约动因研究--来自我国上市公司低值易耗品摊销方法选择的经验证据

会计政策的可选择性为企业真实反映经济业务实质创造条件的同时,也为企业管理当局操纵会计盈余提供了机会.分析和检验会计政策选择的动因对企业会计准则的完善与企业会计行为的监管均具有十分重要的现实意义.本文以低值易耗品摊销方法选择为切入点,选取符合我国企业特征的契约变量,运用均值检验和Logistic回归方法对低值易耗品摊销方法的选择动因进行了实证检验,结果证实了实证会计理论中的政治成本假设和报酬契约假设.

Related Party Transactions: A Preliminary Evaluation of SFAS 57 and IAS 24 Using Four Case Studies

Transactions between related parties have been the subject of increasing concern in recent years. Corporate scandals, overseas and local, have typically involved non-arm's length transactions contrived between the reporting entity and related companies or affiliates. These scandals provided catalysts for the relatively recent development of accounting standards on related party transactions.
This paper considers whether the application of the new pronouncements, particularly the Financial Accounting Standards Boards' statement 57 and its international equivalent, International Accounting Standard 24, is likely to overcome the problems highlighted in several major scandals. The methodology adopted involves the hypothetical application of the two pronouncements to the pertinent facts in four case studies: (1) Continental Vending, a U.S. criminal court case; (2) Penn Central, a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigation case; (3) Tarling (Haw Par), a Singapore criminal court case; and (4) Stanhill, an Australian case investigated by a government appointed Inspector.
In each hypothetical application, the resultant presentation is compared with the stated expectations found in the relevant findings of the case. In all cases, SFAS 57 and IAS 24 are found to be deficient.
While four case studies may not be sufficient for drawing general conclusions about either SFAS 57 or IAS 24 the conclusions of this study represent preliminary evidence for evaluating those standards.     

An Analysis of Lease Disclosures by Australian Companies

From 1964 to 1980 there was a twenty-fold increase in the extent to which the average Australian company resorted to lease finance. Lease disclosure by lessees was voluntary throughout this period, yet we observe that, by 1979, three out of four lessee companies had begun to disclose their lease commitments. Our study sought an answer to the question: what factors influenced Australian lessees, in their decision whether or not to disclose lease commitments in their annual reports? In a wider sense, we use this issue to probe further our power to explain accounting policy choice, particularly in situations, such as in Australia, where a small population restricts our ability to observe some aspects of the economic and political process. Based on a univariate and multivariate tests, we infer from our study that the relative frequency of voluntary disclosure by lessees was related to (a) industry, (b) firm size and (c) whether the lessee was a subsidiary company of a foreign parent; was only weakly related to (d) whether the lessee entered the Australian Institute of Management good reporting award; and was unrelated to (e) the identity of the lessee's audit firm (f) the existence of bonus scheme tied to reported profit and (g) the relative risk of the firm.     

Ersatz Academics and Scholar-saints: The Supply of Financial Accounting Research

Watts and Zimmerman, in a widely acclaimed article, concluded that accounting theories serve to supply excuses for policies determined by political processes. This paper presents a critical review of Watts and Zimmerman's hypothesis, and in return, suggests that the academic reward system in the leading universities does not encourage that kind of activity. The alternative hypothesis is that there are two markets, one for excuses and the other for scholarly research.     

Exploring Diversity in Accounting through Faculty Journal Perceptions*

The accounting research community has frequently been described as being both diverse and focused on local issues. At the same time, increasing pressure is being placed on researchers to publish in internationally highly regarded journals. Since faculty evaluations depend on journal rankings, such rankings need to take into account the diversity of the research community. Therefore, this study examines how contextual factors such as a researcher's location and research orientation may influence journal quality perceptions and readership patterns based on an international sample of 1,230 accounting academics. The perceived quality of journals is measured across a number of dimensions, including journal familiarity, average rank position, percent of respondents who classify a journal as top tier, and readership. The results support that a significant variation in journal quality perceptions exists based on a researcher's geographic origin, research orientation, and affiliation with a journal.     

Bahi-Khata: The Pre-Pacioli Indian Double-entry System of Bookkeeping

The earliest treatise on accounting is generally thought to be Pacioli's Summar of 1494. The Bahi-khata is a double-entry system of bookkeeping that predates the 'Italian' method by many centuries. Its existence in India prior to the Greek and Roman empires suggests that Indian traders took it with them to Italy, and from there the double-entry system spread through Europe. The Bahi-khata is described and its double-entry principles explained.
