<p><em> </em><em>The positive theory of accounting initiated by Watts and Zinmerman in 1978 postulates that the purpose of accounting is to describe, explain and predict accounting facts. The major contribution of this theory is to analyze the effect of accounting output on the main recipients of financial statements. However, in spite of its notable contributions, the positive theory of accounting falls short of studying the context in which the decision-making process by agents takes place s. It has been proved that this context conditions the decision-making process. Numerous studies have therefore been interested in the characteristics of the environment, which include both, organizational factors and individual factors that would condition decisions. It is from this perspective that behavioural accounting, a branch of accounting defined by Hofsted and Kinard (1970) as the analysis of the attitudes of accountants andparticularly non-accountants under the prism of the impact of accounting andparticularly accounting reports, has been developed. Thus, in many fields, both accounting and non-accounting, researchers have felt the need to take a closer look at the behavioural dimension, mainly theemotional and cognitive dimensions of decision-makers, particularly executives, because these dimensions have a significant influence on the decision-making process.</em></p><p><em>In the first part of our article, we will therefore show how the development of behavioral research has taken place in many fields. The aim is to prove that man is not a machine and that man’s specificities, both cognitive and emotional, must be rigorously analyzed to avoid unexpected results .Subsequently, we present a more or less diverse range of work on behavioral accounting . Finally, we prove through a careful and rigorous review of the accounting literature that behavioral accounting offers the opportunity for researchers, particularly practitioners, to be apprehended and thus evaluated through different faculties.</em></p>

ABSTRACTInformation is a crucial point in order to helps managers in decision making. Employees who acts as an agent on agency theory, will gladly report their achievement to their principal. On the other hand, employees tend to cover their faults, especially if the company’s targets are not achieved. There are many factors influencing the employees’ willingness to share the informations, prior to their faults or errors, and two of them are culture and the existence of the supervisor. This research uses experimental method and 2 × 2 factorial design to test the hypotheses. The sample in this research are low-acculturated Tionghoa (TAR) and high-acculturated Tionghoa (TAR). After the research is done, it is come to conclusion that; (1) employees’ cultural background and acculturation did affect their willingness in information sharing. (2) the presence of supervisor did not affect employees’ willingness in information sharing prior to their faults and errors.Keywords: Culture, Acculturation, Behavioral Accounting, Information Sharing

Purpose: The aim of the paper is to verify the assumptions about the impact of the anchoring effect and the norm reminder effect in accounting decisions, in the case of the freedom of choice left by legal regulations, Methodology/approach: The study was based on a 2 × 2 experimental design and was conducted with 110 working accountants. Findings: The results confirmed the regularities in decision-making identified in psychology, which may influence the quality of the information provided by accountants. Being re-minded of the legal norm concerning the rules for creating write-downs of receivables bur-dened with the risk of non-payment led to a significant increase in accountants’ propensity to create write-downs. Similarly, the anchor used in the experiment showed that introducing a numerical value unrelated to the criteria for the write-down significantly impacted the accountants’ assessment of the percentage value and the write-off. Practical implications: The anchoring and norm reminder effect may affect the quality of the presented numerical information and the fulfillment of the faithful representation requirement in financial statements. Originality/value: The study presented in the article, which concerns the impact of cognitive biases on professional accounting decisions, has not been empirically verified so far in Poland. At the same time, it is one of the few experimental studies within behavioral accounting in Poland. Keywords: anchoring heuristic, legal norm, decision-making, behavioral accounting.

AbstractRahnev & Denison (R&D) argue against normative theories and in favor of a more descriptive “standard observer model” of perceptual decision making. We agree with the authors in many respects, but we argue that optimality (specifically, reward-rate maximization) has proved demonstrably useful as a hypothesis, contrary to the authors’ claims.

AbstractThe target article uses a mathematical framework derived from Bayesian decision making to demonstrate suboptimal decision making but then attributes psychological reality to the framework components. Rahnev & Denison's (R&D) positive proposal thus risks ignoring plausible psychological theories that could implement complex perceptual decision making. We must be careful not to slide from success with an analytical tool to the reality of the tool components.
