An Australian Response to Recent Developments in the Market for Audit Services

Where the quality (both competence and independence) of an audit is tested, often in the circumstance of a corporate failure, auditors frequently have good defences as to their competency but rarely do they have equally convincing defences for the objectivity of their decisionmaking or the independence of their audit. This paper recommends that large audit firms establish an independence board with the authority to define, review and decide upon all threats and potential threats to independence. It would also have responsibility for quality-control and educational programs in respect of audit firm's independence decision-making.     

The Impact of Regulation Fair Disclosure on Information Asymmetry and Trading: An Intraday Analysis

This study examines the impact of Regulation Fair Disclosure (FD) on liquidity, information asymmetry, and institutional and retail investors trading behavior. Our main findings suggest three conclusions. First, Regulation FD has been effective in improving liquidity and in decreasing the level of information asymmetry. Second, retail trading activity increases dramatically after earnings announcements but there is a significant decline in institutional trading surrounding earnings announcements, particularly in the pre‐announcement period. Last, the decline in information asymmetry around earnings announcements is closely associated with a lower participation rate in the pre‐announcement period and more active trading of retail investors after earnings releases.

差序格局、国家圈子和数字经济全球税收治理——基于社会学的视角北大核心CSSCI

考察国际组织与部分国家应对数字经济税收挑战的实践发现,各国应对数字经济税收挑战、磋商新的征税规则,在个体层面表现出以"己"为中心的差序格局,在国家集团层面则呈现出以大国(强国)为中心的国家圈子特征。大国(强国)相互信任、大国(强国)在国家集团或国际组织中处于中心位置、大国(强国)超越国家集团或国际组织的小圈子,对于构建数字经济税收新秩序、形成全球税收治理新体系至关重要。未来构建数字经济全球税收治理新秩序,根本之道在于破除数字经济征税规则重塑中的差序格局现象,跨越国家圈子现象,超越国家利益考量,基于大共识完善包容性制度框架,构建共建共治共享的数字经济全球税收治理共同体。
