Abstract

This paper examines the relations between principles-based accounting standards and audit fees. Our empirical evidence suggests auditors charge a lower fee when firms’ standards are more principles based. Our result is consistent with the notion that principles-based accounting standards improve earnings quality and reduce auditor’s risk-related premium. Further analyses indicate this fee saving is more pronounced for firms with stronger corporate governance and firms in post-SOX era. The results add to the growing body of literature examining cost/benefit of principles-based accounting standards, as well as to the literature of the determinants of audit fees.

Abstract

This research investigates firm-specific determinants of minimum audit fee compliance (MAFC) of the listed companies in Bangladesh. MAFC is measured using a dichotomous variable of 1 if a firm complies with the minimum audit fee (MAF) guideline and 0 otherwise. Data used in this study are collected from the companies’ annual and corporate governance reports and analyzed using the logistic regression model. By utilizing 688 firm-year observations from 2016 to 2023, we find that firm size, cashflows, profitability, and directors’ ownership are the significant determinants of MAFC. Nevertheless, leverage, age, and board independence are found insignificant determinants of MAFC which contradicts prior findings as corporate governance system is weak in Bangladesh. The findings can be underpinned by the agency and legitimacy theories. This study can contribute largely to the economic and theoretical advancement of the body of existing literature with policy implications for regulators, auditors and firms as the literature on MAF is scarce. To the author’s knowledge, this is the first study on minimum audit fees from a quantitative perspective from the unique regulatory setting of Bangladesh.

Abstract

This teaching case utilizes a real-world example of ethics violations occurring at Ernst and Young, one of the Big Four accounting firms. An SEC investigation revealed widespread cheating by its employees on professional education exams required for CPA licensing. The misconduct violated federal securities laws and the codes of conduct of several professional organizations. It was also not the first time EY had addressed ethical misconduct amongst its employees, but it failed to prevent or stop the practice from continuing. EY was fined $100 million and required to hire independent consultants to review its policies, ethics and disclosure procedures. Students are required to read through the case and work in groups to answer questions ranging in difficulty based on course level. The EY case is simple enough to be understood by all students, but may be used as a starting point for more advanced discussions on the ethical obligations and responsibilities of accountants and the accounting profession.

Abstract

While prior literature on the asymmetric behavior of costs has predominantly focused on firms experiencing losses, a number of recent studies have shifted the focus to the opposite side, documenting that firms tend to hesitate to incur additional costs (i.e., make additional investments in resources) when faced with an unusually large increase in sales revenue. To extend the existing literature on this “upside cost stickiness,” this study examines how the asymmetric cost behavior of firms with an unusually large sales increase is influenced by factors such as industry characteristics and a firm’s position within the industry. Drawing on economic theory regarding the relationship between industry structure and corporate behavior, this research predicts that the degree of upside cost stickiness is weaker for industry leaders and diminishes as market concentration increases. As an application, this study further predicts that upside cost stickiness is weaker for firms in the concentrated IT industry. These predictions are strongly supported by empirical evidence based on 135,649 unique firm-year observations.

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of firm fundamentals on the propensity of stock market crash. More specifically, this study shows whether there is any association between the movements of share prices and firms’ accounting components along with other determinants using listed companies in Dhaka stock exchange (DSE). To examine the conjecture, the present study conducts an in-depth analysis based on a sample of DSE listed companies from 2005 to 2011. Results of the study show that the firm’s profitability is highly correlated with the stock price which indicates that shareholders emphasize, mostly, the firm’s profitability before making their investment decisions. However, we do not find any association between share price and other accounting components in this study, which is contradictory with the extant capital market research. Further, the present study presents the impact of firm life cycle stages on the association between accounting components and stock prices. Overall, this paper contributes to literature of capital market research by providing empirical evidence. Nevertheless, this paper contributes to the policy making regarding capital markets and it provides a set of recommendations to attenuate the possibility of future capital market crash in emerging economies.

Abstract

The U.S. securities and exchange commission (SEC) monitors the financial reporting practices of business firms that sell stock on U.S. exchanges. The SEC requires certified public accountants (CPAs) to audit those firms in order to provide reasonable assurance that the firms’ financial statements contain no material misstatements and that the firms have good internal accounting controls. Since CPAs serve as a watchdog for the SEC, the CPA exam content should be rigorous and the exam should be securely administered; this helps to ensure that only qualified applicants become CPAs and that audits are performed competently. Accordingly, the SEC was disappointed to learn that some of the auditors at Ernst & Young (E&Y), one of the four largest international CPA firms, had cheated on CPA ethics examinations. Furthermore, E&Y management attempted to cover up the cheating. E&Y admitted its culpability and agreed to pay a $100 million penalty and undertake remedial measures to correct the firm’s ethical issues. At the end of this study, the author: (1) emphasizes the critical importance of ethical behavior to CPAs; (2) makes recommendations for avoidance of internal exam cheating at CPA firms; and (3) makes recommendations to the SEC for improvement of its enforcement quality.

Abstract

Our study examines whether there are differences mainly between business students and science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) students’ perceptions of LinkedIn when they use LinkedIn to construct their professional and social identity, as a social capital, as a platform for building relationship with trust, as a platform of professional or business opportunities, and as an interactive learning resource. Our study employs a survey among college students at two different settings of public and private universities in the U.S. The findings reveal that there are no significant differences in business students or STEM students’ perceptions of LinkedIn as a social capital, or as a platform of building relationship with trust, or as a platform of professional career development. However, our findings reveal that business and STEM students have different perceptions and usage of LinkedIn as a resource for interactive learning. Our study benefits college students to utilize LinkedIn effectively in their learning and career. Our study fills the gap to examine the differences between young business students and STEM students’ perceptions of LinkedIn at two higher educational institutions.

Abstract

This study addresses the increasing complexity of understanding factors influencing technology adoption, particularly in developing countries where emerging technologies evolve rapidly. The research aims to identify and analyze dominant trends, theoretical frameworks, variables, and contextual factors shaping technology adoption over the past decade. Using a systematic literature review (SLR) of 57 Scopus-indexed articles published between 2015 and 2025, data were processed through the PRISMA protocol and analyzed using VOSviewer software and meta-synthesis techniques. The findings reveal that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness remain the most prevalent determinants, while new psychological, social, and cultural dimensions—such as trust, autonomy, technophobia, and social influence—are gaining scholarly attention. Research from developing economies, notably India, Bangladesh, and Indonesia, highlights context-specific challenges and the transformative role of technology in digital ecosystems. The study contributes by proposing an integrative framework synthesizing TAM, TPB, UTAUT, and S-O-R models, offering a comprehensive foundation for future research, policymaking, and practical innovation in technology adoption.

Abstract

This study undertakes the theory of stimulus organism response (SOR theory) to explain and predict investor emotion and investor behavior during the Covid-19 pandemic in France and Germany financial markets. In this paper, we apply the nonparametric volatility model, the vector autoregressive model, and the nonlinear autoregressive exogenous neural network model. Empirical results show a high level of jumps in investor emotion and investor behavior during the first wave of Covid-19. Moreover, we find the existence of emotional response to Covid-19, lockdown, and government support stimuli. Indeed, we find that Covid-19 stimuli enhance investor fear, while government support stimuli minimize the level of fear. Then, the investor emotion stimulates investor behavior, generating a behavioral response that confirms the SOR theory. However, we find that during the Covid-19 pandemic, market and bank stimuli present a lower effect on investor emotion compared with stimuli related to the Covid19 crisis. The Covid-19, lockdown, and government support stimuli efficiently predict investor emotion.

Abstract

The modern workplace demands ever-greater levels of cognitive ability. Corporations need newly hired graduates to enter the workplace with a certain level of critical thinking and reflective judgment skills. Unfortunately, accounting students appear to be falling behind in developing these cognitive skills. This research elaborates on the reflective judgment theory to investigate the backgrounds and cognitive levels of accounting students. The argument is made that certain background factors provide a significant differentiator among students’ reflective judgment and that students are below the necessary level of cognitive ability based on existing standards. Data from a study of accounting students in a United States-based university, tested with one-way Anova and dependent t-tests, support the role certain background factors play in student reflective judgment. The results also support the assertions that the cognitive abilities of graduating students do not meet the levels required by today’s corporations. These results suggest that accounting schools and accounting educators should employ more effective critical thinking curricula and assignments. This research adds to reflective judgment theory through a better understanding of student cognitive ability that can be translated into application in the classroom. Additionally, this research expands the use of open-ended structures in assessing cognitive abilities.
