This study examines the interaction between internal auditors' personality traits and the internal audit function effectiveness. It also investigates the effect of such interacted variables on financial reporting quality. This study employed a questionnaire survey to collect data from 193 internal auditors of Jordanian companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange. The study model is validated and tested using the partial least squares structural equation modelling. The results reveal that all the examined personality traits of internal auditors significantly impact internal audit function effectiveness except for the extraversion trait. The results also show that personality traits have indirect effects on financial reporting quality via internal audit function effectiveness. These results suggest that internal auditors with high scores on openness to experience, emotional stability, and conscientiousness traits can be among the most significant contributors to the internal audit function effectiveness. The results also suggest that internal auditors' personality traits can be regarded as an internal audit function intangible resource that enhances effectiveness. The study's findings might be of interest to many different parties interested in enhancing internal audit function effectiveness and boosting the financial reporting quality, such as external and internal auditors, auditees, human resource departments, and Chief Internal Audit Executives.

Fraudulent financial reporting practices can have significant consequences for organizations and all stakeholders, as well as, for public confidence in the capital and security markets. In fact, comprehensive, accurate and reliable financial reporting is the bedrock upon which our markets are based. Keen to project a rosy picture of the Satyam to investors, employees and analysts, Mr. Raju (CEO and Chairman) fudged the account books so that it appeared to be a far bigger enterprise, with high profits and fast growth rate, than it actually was. The Satyam fraud has shattered the dreams of different categories of investors, shocked the government and regulators alike, and led to questioning of the accounting practices of statutory auditors and corporate governance norms in India. This is an exploratory study based on secondary sources of information. An attempt has been made to provide an explanation for various intriguing questions about Satyam scam. After thorough investigations by the CBI and SEBI, they have unveiled the methodology by which Satyam fraud was engineered. Finally, we recommend "Fraudulent reporting practices should be considered as a serious crime, and accounting bodies, courts and other regulatory authorities in India need to adopt very strict punitive measures to stop such unethical practices."

Corporate tax avoidance has been the subject of international debate since the Enron scandal and has raised awareness of the need for greater transparency in financial markets. Efforts have been made to strengthen financial reporting requirements and meet the needs of investors and other stakeholders, including digitalization of financial reporting through Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL). This study examines the impact of the mandatory adoption of XBRL on corporate tax avoidance. We tested our predictions using a panel dataset of Indonesian firms listed on the IDX stock exchange. Based on available information in the DATASTREAM database covering the 2013-2017 period, we used two proxies for tax avoidance i.e., GAAP effective tax rate and current effective tax rate. We estimated multiple regression model including industry and year fixed effects. The results show that XBRL implementation has reduced corporate tax avoidance. These findings suggest that improving corporate transparency through XBRL could play a deterrent tool to corporate tax avoidance. The results of this study should be useful to tax authorities and accounting standard setters supporting the benefits of digitalizing financial reporting and continuing to complete XBRL taxonomies around the world.

Purpose: Interim financial statements provide timely and qualified financial information for users. Hence, the importance of the interim financial statement is increasingly noticeable among information users. This research studies determinants of interim financial statements disclosure in Vietnamese-listed enterprises. Research design, data and methodology: The sample is 55 enterprises listed in VNIndex and is in the list of Forbes top 100 largest companies in 2020. Data was collected from interim financial statements for four years, from 2018 to 2021. GMM is used in this study. Results: The regression analysis results show that reporting lag has a positive impact on the level of information distribution of interim financial reporting; companies audited by BIG4 tend to have a higher level of information disclosure. The higher the return on assets, the more disclosure is made; the larger the company size, the greater the disclosure level. Owner equity structure and Leverage do not affect the disclosure level of interim financial reporting. Conclusions: The information disclosure level on the interim financial statement should be improved to increase transparency. In addition to continuing to encourage these companies to provide more information voluntarily, government authorities should have effective regulations to require sufficient information disclosure from other listed companies.

본 연구는 기업의 내부통제 취약점 유무가 금융기관의 기업건전성 평가 분류와 유의적으로 작용하는지를 실증 분석함으로써, 기업에게는 효율적인 내부통제제도 형성유인을 제공하고 금융기관에게는 내부회계관리제도에 따른 정보유용성을 실증적으로 확인해 보는데 있다. 분석대상은 2008년부터 2013년까지 K_금융기관과 거래실적이 있는 유가증권 및 코스닥 상장기업과 자산 1,000억 원 이상의 비상장기업이다. 분석결과, 내부회계관리제도에 따른 내부통제 취약점 비보고기업은 평균적으로 'BBB' 신용등급을 받는데 반하여, 보고기업은 'CCC'등급을 받고 있으며, 자산 건전성 분류 역시 통계적으로 유의하게 비보고기업은 '정상'으로, 보고기업은 '요주의' 기업으로 분류되고 있다. 따라서 내부통제의 취약점 보고정보는 기업이 형성하는 재무자료의 신뢰성을 저하시켜 기업에게는 낮은 신용등급의 원인으로, 금융기관에게는 자산부실화 예방을 위한 충당금 추가 적립, 높은 대출금리 요구의 유인이 될 수 있다는 점을 시사한다. 내부회계관리제도에 따른 내부통제의 취약점 보고가 기업신용평가나 자산건전성 분류 등 기업 건전성에 대한 금융기관의 평가에 유의한 정보로써 활용될 수 있다는 점을 제시하고 있는 것이 본 연구의 주요의의이다.

본 연구는 임원배상책임보험제도와 전략적 재무보고간의 관계를 분석하였다. 임원배상책임보험제도는 경영자들을 소송위험으로부터 보호하기 때문에, 경영자들로 하여금 도덕적 해이를 발생시켜 재무보고에 있어서 이익조정과 같은 기회주의적인 행동을 유발시킬 가능성이 존재한다. 이에 본 연구는 2006년부터 2008년까지 상장기업을 대상으로 임원배상책임보험과 재무보고의 관계를 분석하였다. 구체적으로 임원배상책임보험 가입여부가 이익조정에 영향을 미치는지, 반대로 이익조정을 많이 하는 기업이 소송위험을 완화하기 위해 임원배상책임보험에 가입하는지를 살펴보았다. 연구결과 재량적발생액이 높은 기업일수록 임원배상책임보험제도를 구매하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 이익조정에 참여한 경영자 또는 기업일수록 임원배상책임보험제도에 가입하지 않는 것을 의미한다. 임원배상책임보험제도 가입 기업의 이익조정행태를 분석한 결과 유의한 음의 결과를 보였는데, 이는 임원배상책임보험가입제도가 이익조정을 유발시키지 않고, 오히려 기회주의적인 재무보고 활동을 제한하는 것으로 해석된다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest a practical way to measure and report corporate social performance as public interest in corporate social value pursuits increases. In particular, we will look for ways to measure and report on the financial and social performance of a company based on the concept of the Double Bottom Line (DBL), which has recently spread to big companies. For this purpose, this study analyzed the theoretical background and practical techniques related to measuring and reporting corporate social performance, and examined methods for measuring and reporting social performance in the existing financial performance measurement system. As a result, SROI was the most suitable method for measuring social performance of a company. It is recommended that social performance reporting follows the disclosure method of the accounting system, and the details of reporting suggest that using the standard of GRI Standard, an international standard related to sustainability reporting, is the most reasonable alternative to 'Double Bottom Line' performance reporting.

We introduce about XBRL, eXtensible Business Reporting Language, which is widely accepted as the international standard language for business financial reporting. XBRL is a language for the electronic communication of business and financial data which is revolutionizing business reporting around the world. It provides major benefits in the preparation, analysis and communication of business information. It offers cost savings, greater efficiency and improved accuracy and reliability to all those involved in supplying or using financial data. XBRL is a kind of XML application based on the open Internet technologies. We propose a framework for enterprise information supply chain using XBRL Web services. A Web service is defined as a software system based on XML and designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network by the W3C. Web services are frequently just application programming interfaces (API) that can be accessed over a network, such as the internet and executed on a remote system hosting the requested services. An XBRL Web service-based enterprise information supply chain enables for companies to implement seamless information supply chains from businesses to financial institutions, to supervisory authorities, and to other stake holders for real time information access. And thereby it is expected to contribute to the increase in the value of companies due to the enhanced visibility and transparency of accounting and management.

본 논문은 원칙중심의 국제회계기준(IFRS)이 도입된 이후 중소-중견기업의 재무보고에 미친 영향에 대하여 살펴보았다. 국제회계기준은 원칙중심이기 때문에 거래의 경제적 실질을 반영하기 위하여 경영자의 재량에 의한 판단이 필요하고 판단프로세스를 뒷받침 할 수 있는 내부 회계인프라가 필요하다. 중소-중견기업의 경우 이러한 내부 회계인프라가 잘 구축되어 있지 않아 원칙중심 회계기준의 적용에 어려움이 있을 것으로 예상된다. 국내 주식시장에 상장된 중소-중견기업 회계담당자 132명의 설문을 분석한 결과 국제회계기준 도입으로 인하여 전반적인 재무제표의 신뢰도는 증가하였다고 응답하였다. 특히 중소기업이 중견기업보다 더 재무제표의 신뢰성이 증대된 것으로 인식하고 있었다. 그러나 재무제표 작성비용과 작성위험이 많이 증가하였고 원칙의 적용과 관련된 감사인과 감독기관과의 갈등이 증가하였다고 조사되었다. 특히 이러한 갈등의 증가는 중견기업이 더 크게 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 국제회계기준 적용 시 구체적인 어려움으로 중소-중견기업 공히 기준서 해석이 어려우며 가이드라인이 부족하다고 하였다. 이러한 애로사항을 해결하기 위해서는 질의회신 기능의 확대가 가장 필요하다고 하였다. 결론적으로 국제회계기준의 도입되면서 중소-중견기업 재무제표의 신뢰성은 일정부분 향상되었으나, 중소-중견기업이 대기업에 비하여 내부 자원 및 회계 인프라가 부족하기 때문에 재무제표의 작성비용 및 위험을 줄여 주는 동시에 효과적인 재무제표 작성을 위한 정책적, 제도적인 지원이 필요하다고 판단된다.

The landscape of corporate reporting is changing quickly. The concepts, elements and principles that characterize the way organizations plan, manage and report their annual performances are currently being questioned, debated, and redesigned throughout the world. However, widening the scope of corporate performance and reporting is a major issue. Research needs to bridge the gap between social and financial performance by considering corporate performance in a wider perspective. At base, IR is a relatively new but powerful idea: enhancing the way organizations think, plan and report the story of their business. Organizations are using IR to communicate a clear, concise, integrated story that explains how all of their resources are creating value. This paper examines the rise of what has been widely claimed to represent a new and striking future for corporate reporting, namely the notion of "Integrated Reporting" (IR). Unfortunately, there is poor empirical research work undertaken which has focused on published integrated reports. This research study provides initial analysis of the content and structure of the corporate integrated reports published in 2013 and available on the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) Emerging Examples Database. As part of this study, Integrated Reports were analyzed for company information, report information and report content. Moreover, they were also evaluated as to the extent these adhered to the integrated reporting (IR) Guiding Principles, Content Elements, and the multiple capitals model. Findings of this study indicate that "early integrated reports were mostly lengthy, fail to adhere to all the guiding principles, and covered four of the six capitals suggested." At present, no universally accepted global framework for IR exists and it is still largely a voluntary practice. We believe that IR of both financial and non-financial performance should be made mandatory, and it should become a universal practice for all the global listed companies within the next 5-10 years.
