As a “research-enabled” undergraduate student, I approached Professor Faff about opportunities for research projects. Recognizing that I had only limited research exposure, he devised a program of incremental learning, based on his “pitching research” framework (Faff, 2015,2021). Under close guidance, as a pilot case study of a new InSPiR2eS “Internship” initiative, I was assigned several tasks. The primary activity reported in the current pitching research letter, challenged me to create interactive "Reverse Engineered" pitches based on two recent research studies.

Research Question: Does Good Corporate Governance have a moderating effect on the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility and Real earnings management? Motivation: Nowadays, the relationship between responsible governance and REM has gained momentum in the accounting and financial studies. In this context, the present work will provide more insight into the relationship between responsible governance factors (GCG, CSR) and REM in the presence of R&D and M&A. Idea: this paper is to examine the moderating effect of good corporate governance (GCG) on the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and real earnings management (REM) level in innovative firms during mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions. Data: Using the corporate governance ratio and CSR scores calculated by the Thomson Reuters Eikon ASSET4 database, this study was developed to investigate these issues on a sample of 113 U.S. S&P 500 index firms between 2015 and 2021. This study adopted a sampling process that divides the total sample into two sub-samples according to whether the companies are involved in M&A transactions (test sample) or not (control sample). Tools: Multiple regressions on panel data is used to estimate our hypotheses. Findings: The empirical results reveal that CSR score has a negative and statistically significant effect on REM in highly R&D-intensive firms involved in M&A. Furthermore, the findings suggest that that good corporate governance variable plays a moderating role in the relationships between CSR and REM of these firms but not for the non-merged ones. Contribution: This research contributes to the literature by providing the significant links between some CSR, good corporate governance and the REM level within R&D-intensive firms in the American M&A market.

Research Question: Do external auditors in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) perceive the ease of use and usefulness of Machine Learning (ML)? Motivation: This study aims to investigate external auditors' perceptions of the ease of use and usefulness of Machine Learning in auditing in the UAE. In addition, the study intends to examine the difference in perceived ease of use of Machine Learning between local and international audit companies in the UAE. Data: Data for this study were gathered from 63 external auditors working for local and global audit firms in the UAE. The study's population comprises external auditors from national and international audit companies in UAE. Tool: The questionnaire was deployed through an online survey tool. Findings: The results have shown that the findings do not support the idea that there is a different perception of the Perceived Ease of Use of Machine Learning in auditing between local and international audit firms. According to the conclusions of this study, external auditors have a restricted perception of the simplicity of use and utility of Machine Learning. Practical implications: The importance of the findings of such research stems from the lack of research evidence on the perceived ease of use and usefulness of Machine Learning in external auditing in the UAE. As a result, this paper provides new empirical evidence by assessing external auditors' assessments of the usage of Machine Learning in the UAE.

Research Question: What is the impact of the Lebanese crisis on the financial auditing mission, mainly during assessing and reporting fraud and going concern risk? Motivation: So far, the academic research covering the Lebanese crisis is still rare. Hence, the spillover of the financial distress is an under researched area. Our aim to investigate the impact of financial and economic disruption on financial auditing mission, together with assessing and reporting fraud and going concern risk is an important contribution to risk literature. Idea: The article examines the impact of the Lebanese crisis on financial auditing mission, mainly during assessing and reporting fraud and going concern risk. More specifically, based on fraud triangle theory and bankruptcy theory, this study investigates the response of Lebanese financial auditors to the increase of fraud and going concern risk during crisis. Data: The questionnaire survey was used to collect responses from 239 external and internal auditors. Tools: Univariate descriptive statistics have been used to describe the respondents’ profile, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) as a data reduction method and the Kendall’s Tau B, Anova and Logistic Regression for hypotheses testing. Findings: The empirical study suggests the presence of a significant relationship between the propagation of fraud and the going concern risk. Facing this situation, Lebanese financial auditors modified the audit reports, by issuing a going concern opinion through the adoption of a hierarchical system based on the severity of the assessed risk. Contributions: The research illustrates how regulators, shareholders and several bodies can effectively evaluate financial auditors’ roles during crisis, especially in terms of fraud and going concern risk. Additionally, the findings invite several bodies to never separate fraud from going concern principle during the evaluation of the trustworthiness of financial statements, and the overall credibility of business continuity.
研究问题:黎巴嫩危机对财务审计任务的影响是什么，主要是在评估和报告欺诈和持续经营风险方面?动机:到目前为止，关于黎巴嫩危机的学术研究仍然很少。因此，金融危机的外溢性是一个研究较少的领域。我们的目标是调查金融和经济动荡对财务审计任务的影响，以及评估和报告欺诈和持续经营风险，这是对风险文献的重要贡献。观点:本文考察了黎巴嫩危机对财务审计任务的影响，主要是在评估和报告欺诈和持续经营风险方面。更具体地说，本研究基于欺诈三角理论和破产理论，探讨黎巴嫩财务审计师在危机中对欺诈和持续经营风险增加的反应。数据:采用问卷调查的方式，收集了239名外部和内部审计师的反馈。工具:单变量描述性统计用于描述受访者的概况，主成分分析(PCA)作为数据缩减方法，Kendall ' s Tau B, Anova和Logistic回归用于假设检验。研究发现:实证研究表明，舞弊传播与持续经营风险之间存在显著关系。面对这种情况，黎巴嫩财务审计员修改了审计报告，通过采用基于评估风险严重程度的等级制度，发表了持续经营意见。贡献:该研究说明了监管机构、股东和几个机构如何有效地评估金融审计师在危机期间的角色，特别是在欺诈和持续经营风险方面。此外，调查结果要求一些机构在评估财务报表的可信度和业务连续性的整体可信度时，永远不要将欺诈与持续经营原则分开。

Purpose: The necessity for a reliable set of international standards for the compilation of national accounts introduced the accrual accounting framework of the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010). Extensive efforts are made for convergence between Government Accounts (GA) and National Accounts (NA) under accounting standards. Design/methodology/approach: This study investigated the quality of governmental NA, in the context of ESA 2010, from 1999 through 2019, using relative value relevance models of long-term government bond yields. Findings: i) The accrual accounting framework ESA2010 generates value relevant (thus qualitative) NA financial reporting in EU member states and the United Kingdom (UK); ii) The financial variables that better interpret bonds’ return, thus governments’ necessity to borrow money, are showcased; iii) The usefulness of the ESA2010 conceptual framework for decision and policy making process considering that the accrual accounting basis fosters the financial reporting quality, is demonstrated; iv) The quality results set the premise for further discussion for the harmonization and alignment process of accounting standardisation with the ESA2010 accrual accounting framework as a resource for policy and decision making. Limitations: The methodology of value relevance models that is employed to assess the governmental statistical reporting quality with the ESA2010 accrual accounting framework is a private sector technique. Originality: This study contributes theoretically as it fosters the quality of accrual accounting basis. It moreover provides an empirical and practical contribution by introducing relative value relevance econometric models that provide stakeholders with reliable information on the financial position and performance of the government. It showcases significant financial variables and coefficients of statistical reporting for each government. With its value relevant results, it supports evidence-based decision making, allows comparisons between EU governments and the UK, and contributes to increased transparency and accountability.

Research Questions: To what extent do the various corporate reporting channels, documents, and instruments incorporate the issues identified in the literature as affecting human capital? Which aspects are taken into account by Romanian healthcare companies regarding the reporting of human resources management practices? Motivation: Given the commitment of companies to sustainable development, the requirements for enhancing the reporting of human resource management practices have increased. In addition to the specific responsibilities of economic entities that are required to publish periodic financial statements, this study is particularly relevant to human resource management practices in Romanian companies. In this study, the focus is on companies in the healthcare sector, an industry sensitive to the events that have occurred in recent times. Idea: This study explores the defining elements of human resources management awareness and behaviour. The main objective of the research is to analyse the area of human resource information reporting in six companies in the healthcare or pharmaceutical sector and its debate in the context of different company characteristics. Data: To achieve the proposed objective, data from the annual reports were collected for 2021 for six Romanian companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange. Tools: The extracted information is analysed through a critical interpretation to identify and analyse the level of reporting. In this study, the collected data was critically analysed based on empirical and archival sources to understand human resources reporting practices. All data used in this study were manually collected. Findings: The results of this research show that there is an interest in transparency of human resources information, but some variables should be improved or, where appropriate, added to the report. The most detailed information found is related to the reporting of descriptive company characteristics such as profitability and company size , and the least detailed is the information that belongs to the human resource category such as employment of people with disabilities and employment of women. Contribution: This paper contributes to research on companies' human resources reporting practices by identifying what is included in the annual report and analysing it through the lens of the transparency with which companies treat these practices.
