Usability and knowledge drawn from utilizing various ways of representing accounting data were examined. Classroom experiments were conducted to compare students' assessment of financial data using table of numbers, 2-dimensional column graphs (2D), 3-dimensional column graphs (3D), and mixed reality visualization of true 3-dimensional graphs (MR). The results showed that in assessing the financial status and performance of a firm, Table of numbers and MR took longer than 2D and 3D graphs. The time spent on true 3D graphs using MR technology was about the same as Table of numbers. When compared the assessment scores of the firm's financial status and performance between participants and experts, the difference was the least when participants used 2D graphs. However, MR was seen as being a new way to provide data of greater complexity and was very useful for financial information.

Information transparency ensures that market players all have the opportunity to access the same information to come up with their assessment of the banks' financial situation, performance and risks to reach effective investment decisions. This research is conducted to investigate the levels of impact of determinants on information transparency by examining the case studies of Vietnamese commercial banks. This study combines both qualitative and quantitative research methods, based on interviews of 32 specialists in banking, accounting and auditing fields, which were conducted to explore determinants influencing information transparency and to develop measurement scales. Then, a survey of 160 managers of commercial banks, audit firms, and accounting managers of firms who frequently had transactions with banks was carried out to investigate the statistical significance of these determinants. The results show that, out of seven determinants that have significant impacts on the banks' information transparency, commitment from banks' senior management regarding transparency in information disclosure has the highest impact, followed by state governance, auditing, information infrastructure, credit rating agencies, personnel and bank performance. Accordingly, we provide some recommendations for improving information transparency in the Vietnamese banking industry context as a case study and in emerging countries context in general.

It is said that the focus of managing venture business is currently moving from technology competition to management competition. By the way, the software venture business(SVB) has some weak points in its structural composition and itematization and no professional personnel in other several sections except technology development section. In addition, such basic functions as technology and R & D, finance and accounting, marketing required to the management of business are concentrated on only one man, its representative director. Therefore, this study aims to provide the basic data useful to the establishment of governmental policy in information and communication, to the rearing of the SVB by a local government related to the software, and to the administration of SVB by investigating the actual conditions. This study attempts to examine the literature on venture business and software industry, and its management with a questionnaire about the actual conditions of managing the SVB. The questionnaire is given to 527 local enterprises belonging to the Software Industry Association and to 171 enterprises in the Software Center. This study compromises the characteristics of the SVB, the actual conditions of its technology and R & D, finance and accounting, and marketing. The characteristics of the SVB are classified into categories such as the stage of its growth(the stage of its seed and start-up, the stage of tis development and growth, the stage of its stability and maturity) and the main business(the system integration, the software development for contract, the package software development service, the software-related service). Additionally, the study attempts to analyze positively the actual condition of its management after classified by the areas of business profile, its general management, its technology development, its finance and accounting, and its marketing The result of this study is found that the SVB has a lot of troubles in part of marketing and finance & accounting activity as well as general management. The SVB realizes the importance of the technology development rather than that of management activity including marketing activity. So we expect this study can assist the SVB to establish the business guidelines for own management plans.

이 연구는 군(軍) 공사계약에서 회계정보의 유용성에 관한 연구로 10억 이상 100억 미만의 토목, 건축, 전기, 통신, 환경공종을 대상으로 적격심사낙찰제하에서 육군중앙공사계약에 있어서 회계정보의 유용성, 특히 회계 정보와 낙찰률과의 관계, 그리고 낙찰률과 하자율과의 관계에 있어서 이전 연구결과에 의문을 제기하며 이를 재검증하였다. 이 연구결과는 이전 연구결과와는 달리 회계정보와 낙찰률과는 상당히 제한적인 관계로 사전적인 회계정보로 낙찰률을 식별할 수 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 반면에 하자율과의 관계에 있어서는 분별력이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 실증결과는 낙찰률의 차이가 하자율에 영향을 미칠 것이라는 가설을 지지하지 않았다. 하지만 낙찰률 및 하자율의 예측모형을 통하여 이에 영향을 미치는 회계변수들을 확인할 수 있었고, 추가적으로 분석에 포함시킨 입찰참가사전심사항목 중 비재무지표들에 대한 결과를 토대로 심사항목에서 그 가중치를 조정할 수 있을 것이다. 결론적으로 본 연구결과를 토대로 현재 군(軍) 공사계약에서 대부분을 차지하고 있는 적격심사낙찰제의 문제점을 재인식하고, 정부에서 추진하고 있는 최저가낙찰제의 확대 시행에 대한 타당성을 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

We examine the effects of the complexity of tax-related information on the issuance of analyst's pre-tax income forecast and its value relevance. If analysts respond adequately to the needs of investors, they are more likely to provide a pre-tax income forecast. The provision of a pre-tax income forecast may indicate analysts' confidence in assessing the quality of earnings. Thus, investors, in turn, would be more confident in the analysts' pre-tax income forecasts if analysts provide both pre-tax and earnings forecasts than only the latter. Using a sample of Korean listed companies for 2005-2014, we find that analysts are likely to provide an implicit tax forecast when the volatility of the effective tax rate is low and the book-tax differences are small. We also find that when analysts provide pre-tax and after tax income forecasts, the value relevance for unexpected earnings increases. These results indicate that analysts are likely to be interested in corporate tax information and the complexity of tax-related information affects the availability of implicit tax forecasts. Furthermore, this study provides empirical evidence that when analysts provide both pre-tax and after tax income forecasts, investors have more confidence in analysts' earnings forecasts, which results in greater investors' responses.

It is necessary to calculate prime cost of medical services accurately in order to evaluate the adequacy of medical fee. This paper aims to identify cost analysts' perception on prime cost of medical services and needs in establishing a cost accounting system in hospitals, proposing future directions and guidelines for the calculation of medical fee. A self-administered questionnaire and telephone survey on operation of a hospital cost-accounting system was conducted in November, 2012, among cost analysts currently working in the hospitals and hospital administrators planning to implement the hospital cost-accounting system. Our study shows that most of the cost analysts were aware of the importance of calculating prime cost and responded that collection of the prime cost data from government is necessary although they are less likely to provide the data in the future concerning the risk of data misuse and data security. They also responded that lack of budget allocation and excessive workload were the main reasons for not estimating the prime cost and operating cost management information system. Results show that hospital cost analysts considered the data accuracy is the most critical factor in calculating prime costs of medical services. However, there was no investment budget allocated in some hospitals or limited to less than 100 million, indicating that hospitals are reluctant to invest on implementing the cost accounting system. Respondents stated the organization that collects the prime cost of medical services among hospitals should display strong analytical capabilities, ensure data security, and maintain independence, which is most demanded. There are 57 hospitals that calculated the prime cost of medical services for 2012 by each medical department and 20 hospitals that calculated the prime cost by fee-for-services, aiming to establish a cost accounting system. Our results indicate that hospitals should voluntarily provide the accurate prime cost for medical services in order to properly evaluate the adequacy of medical fee. Consequently, it is critical to establish an independent organization to collect and appraise the data. It is also recommended that government should implement various policies to encourage hospitals to participate in the data collection to achieve the data accuracy and representativeness.

현재 그리드 환경에서 자원 접근 제어에 관련된 다양한 방법들이 연구되고 있다. 대부분 그리드 사용자의 자원 접근 권한은 사용자의 특성 및 역할에 따라 부여하도록 설계되었다. 그러나 그리드에 안정적인 자원을 지속적으로 제공하기 위해서는 유틸리티 컴퓨팅에 의한 자원 접근 제어가 이루어져야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 자원 접근 제어에 그리드 어카운팅 개념을 접목시킨 메커니즘을 제안한다. 이 메커니즘은 자원 사용에 대한 어카운팅 정보를 기초로 처리 비용을 산출하고, 사용자의 가용 자금에 따라 자원 접근 여부를 결정하게 된다. 만약 사용자의 가용 자금이 자원 사용에 대한 처리 비용보다 부족할 경우, 사이트의 자원 접근 제어 정책에 따라 그리드 작업을 제어하게 된다. 최종적으로 그리드 작업이 완료되면, 자원 소비자가 자원 제공자측의 유휴 자원을 사용함으로써 발생되는 처리 비용을 지불한다. 그럼으로 본 논문은 그리드 어카운팅에 의한 사용자의 자원 접근을 제어할 수 있는 메카니즘을 제공함으로써, 경제 원리에 준하는 유틸리티 컴퓨팅 환경을 실현할 수 있는 연구로 평가된다.

본 연구에서는 현행 감사보고서 회계제도의 실효성을 검증하기 위해 금융감독원으로부터 분식회계로 인해 감리지적을 받은 기업을 대상으로 하여 감리기간을 전 후한 회계정보의 질에 변화가 존재하는가를 검증하였다. 구체적으로 재량적 발생액을 회계정보의 질에 대한 대용변수로 선정하여 감리지적 기업의 감리지적 이전 기간과 이후 기간에 재량적 발생액의 수준이 감리지적을 받지 않은 일반기업들로 구성된 통제집단에 비해 어떠한 양상을 보이는가를 관찰한다. 주요한 분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 먼저, 단변량 분석결과 감리지적 기업은 감리지적 이전 기간에 통계적으로 유의한 양(+)의 재량적 발생액을 감리지적 이후 기간에는 유의미한 음(-)을 재량적 발생액을 나타내고 있었다. 다음으로 통제집단과의 비교를 통한 다변량 분석체계에서는 감리지적 기업이 통제집단에 비해 감리지적 이전 기간에는 높은 수준의 양(+)의 재량적 발생액을 보이는 반면, 감리지적 이후에는 재량적 발생액의 크기가 현저하게 줄어들어 통제집단과 유사한 수준인 것으로 관찰된다. 이러한 분석결과는 감리지적 기업이 감리지적 이전에는 높은 수준의 증가적 이익조정을 통해 왜곡된 회계정보를 시장에 전달한 반면, 감리지적 이후에는 감리제도의 효과에 의한 엄격한 외부감사 혹은 기업 스스로의 자발적 노력 등으로 인해 회계정보의 질이 일반기업과 유사한 수준으로 개선되었음을 의미한다.

The study examines the impact of corporate governance mechanisms, such as board characteristics on corporate social responsibility disclosure (CSRD). The data on CSRD items and board characteristics have been collected by content analysis of the annual reports of 30 publicly-listed banks in Bangladesh covering six years, from 2013 to 2018. More specifically, the directors' report, the chairman's statement, notes to the financial statement and CSR disclosure reports included in annual reports were used to collect the CSRD data. The empirical analysis applies the ordinary least square and the generalized method of moments. The results of the study have revealed that board size, board independence, female board member, and foreign directors have a significant positive impact on CSRD. By contrast, political directors and audit committee size have a negative impact on CSRD. Interestingly, accounting experts on boards ensure more CSRD as they curb the influence of politicians on the board. Thus, it is better to increase accounting experts and decrease politicians on the board. These findings provide valuable insights into the process of forming a suitable CSR policy by connecting the efforts of the board, government, and regulatory bodies to enhance the performance of banks to CSR as well as to CSRD.

Due to the potential growing capability that reflects future value, the market value of internet business companies (IB) are still evaluated high although major players like Amazon continuously suffer losses. Then, how do investors valuate the potential growing capabilities given that traditional financial/accounting based valuation approaches seem to be inappropriate for IB. This study attempts to provide an answer to this issue. We, therefore, analyzed the predictability of various accounting and non-accounting variables for IB value. These include book value, net income, unique visitors, page view, reach rate, public float and institutional holdings. Because of being in infant stage and difficulties in obtaining necessary web traffic data, sample of 20 pure IB were selected from Korea Stock Exchange Market, KOSDAQ, and informal market. The results of this study showed that web traffic date had the strongest relationship with IB value. In particular, unique visitors and reach rate were found to be best predictors for IB value while page view was reasonable indicator. Interestingly, net income was not found to related to IB value. This calls for an attention to the typical characteristics of IB that my hinder the usage of traditional valuation approaches for IB. Another results revealed that none of both public float and institutional holdings was significantly associated with IB value, indicating market’s supply-demand factors were less important than traffic information.
