Purpose This study aims to trace the impact of corporate governance and its mechanisms in preventing companies from turning to fraudulent financial reporting. Design/methodology/approach For this purpose, using the systematic elimination pattern, the information of 187 listed companies on the Tehran Stock Exchange over six years from 2013 to 2019 were collected, and the hypotheses were examined using a linear regression model. To measure fraudulent financial reporting, the adjusted model of Beneish (1999) was used to evaluate corporate governance. Its mechanisms based on nine corporate governance mechanisms, including board independence, board remuneration, CEO financial expertise, expertise in CEO industry, board financial expertise, board industry expertise, board effort, CEO duality and managerial ownership, have been examined. These mechanisms are calculated as a combined index of corporate governance. Findings The findings indicate that robust corporate governance significantly reduces companies’ intention toward fraudulent financial reporting. In the same way, a negative and significant relationship was observed between each of the nine corporate governance mechanisms, except for board compensation and fraudulent financial reporting. Originality/value This study’s findings provide valuable insight into the importance of strengthening companies to prevent companies’ managers from engaging in fraudulent financial reporting activities. Hence, it is suggested that professional references bodies more seriously follow the rules to dictate to companies for using and empowering their corporate governance.

Fraudulent Reporting

SUMMARY In today's legal environment, auditors who fail to detect fraud face potentially extreme liabilities because of the possibility of biased juries and other factors that can result in extreme legal liabilities for auditors. This paper summarizes a recent study (“The Impact of Audit Penalty Distributions on the Detection and Frequency of Fraudulent Reporting”; Burton et al. [2011]), which used an experimental economics research method to investigate how the legal liability for failing to detect fraud influences auditors' efforts to detect financial reporting fraud and auditees' commission of such fraud. The experiments show that a penalty system that is not subject to extreme legal liabilities for the auditor, but has the same expected value (i.e., average penalties) as a system that is subject to extreme liabilities, increases auditors' effort to detect fraud and decreases fraudulent reporting by auditees.

The Impact

During the boom of the 1990s, Computone Corporation was a high-tech company with viable hardware and software products. The company struggled financially, however, in this very competitive industry. This case demonstrates how the company employed earnings manipulation techniques that resulted in violations of GAAP through improper revenue recognition. Developed from SEC Enforcement Releases, the case demonstrates the SEC's willingness to prosecute corporations and individuals involved in fraudulent financial reporting. The case requires you to analyze the impact of improper revenue recognition on financial statements and to identify risk factors that may have provided incentive and opportunity to engage in fraudulent financial reporting. In addition, the case asks you to consider the potential effect of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and discuss corporate governance issues.

Purpose Future speech-language pathologists are often unprepared in their academic training to serve the communicative and cognitive needs of older adults with dementia. While negative attitudes toward older adults are prevalent among undergraduate students, service learning has been shown to positively affect students' attitudes toward older adults. TimeSlips is an evidence-based approach that has been shown to improve health care students' attitudes toward older adults. The purpose of this study is to explore the change in attitudes in speech-language pathology students toward older adults using TimeSlips in service learning. Method Fifty-one students participated in TimeSlips service learning with older adults and completed the Dementia Attitude Scale (DAS) before and after service learning. In addition, students completed a reflection journal. The DAS data were analyzed using nonparametric statistics, and journal entries were analyzed using a qualitative analysis approach. Results The service learners exhibited a significant increase in positive attitude as indexed on the DAS. The reflective journal entries supported the positive change in attitudes. Conclusions A noticeable attitude shift was indexed in reflective journals and on the DAS. TimeSlips is an evidence-based, patient-centered approach well suited to address challenges in the preparation of Communication Sciences and Disorders students to work with the growing population of older adults.

The Impact

The purpose of this article is to provide the basic model of Hofstede and Grays’ cultural values that relates the Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and Gray‘s accounting value. This article reviews some studies that prove the model and develop the research in the future. There are some evidences that link the Hofstede’s cultural values studies with the auditor’s judgment and decisions by developing a framework that categorizes the auditor’s judgments and decisions are most likely influenced by cross-cultural differences. The categories include risk assessment, risk decisions and ethical judgments. Understanding the impact of cultural factors on the practice of accounting and financial disclosure is important to achieve the harmonization of international accounting. Deep understanding about how the local values may affect the accounting practices and their impacts on the financial disclosure are important to ensure the international comparability of financial reporting. Gray’s framework (1988) expects how the culture may affect accounting practices at the national level. One area of the future studies will examine the impact of cultural dimensions to the values of accounting, auditing and decision making.
