In Nigeria, corruption has hindered the development of local government areas. This study critically evaluated tax collection as the source of revenue generation and its impact on rural development. In order to achieve this, multiple regressions were used to analyse the data. The results show that total tax collected has a positive relationship with revenue generated. The provision of social amenities has an inverse relationship with total tax collected. Granger causality test underscore the uni-directional causality from revenue generation and provision of social amenities. Therefore, all should endeavour to pay their taxes. Government should provide all the necessary amenities and make available financial services to the people. This will enhance their contributions to economic, social development and overall gross domestic product.. The implication is that there will be improved standard of living, self reliance and eradication of poverty in the country.

While assertions of the colonisation of accounting research have occasionally been made in the accounting literature, not only has there been no systematic examination of the evidence that supports these conclusions, no evidence has yet been proffered. This paper explores whether accounting research has been colonised by considering sociologically the essential elements of colonisation and whether they can be applied to accounting research. A critical examination of the elements of colonisation - control over communication, capital, culture, and education; elitism; and English as the dominant language - finds that accounting research has been colonised by acts of symbolic violence, which has resulted in misrecognised class distinctions and neo-colonial dependency relationships within accounting research. It urges accounting researchers recognise the neo-colonial power relationships that have been imposed upon them by the cultural imperialism of the dominant research culture.

In all countries, small business units form the core of the local economy, but they receive the lowest subsidies, and benefit very little from public and tax favours schemes. In this paper, part of our work is devoted to a theory of state control over private entities and on the behaviour of Cameroonian businessmen to constraints imposed by OHADA accounting system on the one hand. The work on the other hand also present some thoughts on how the business structures of these countries could evolve under the framework of a control theory. The African reality, where electronic data processing, and social networking sites are on the agenda, combines with the pressures of governments an inquisition to the limit of bearable. These governmental constraints will lead in the long term to the disappearance of the informal sector.

The retraction of articles, suspected to be fraudulent in their nature, in so-called 'top quality' accounting research journals is a reason the quality of accounting research should not be judged, and never should have been judged, by the mere reputation of the journal in which the published article appears. Instead, accounting research articles should be judged, and always should have been judged, by the content of the article published regardless of where it is published. Judging the quality of research by mere reference to the journal in which it is published is irrational. And, more importantly, making faculty personnel decisions based, at least in part, on the judged 'quality' of someone's research, much less on the mere 'quality' of the journal in which it is published, is a denial of the academic freedom to which all faculty are entitled in their research and teaching.

The subject of the relation between DEB and capitalism is a matter of the historical character of DEB. Generally speaking, profit and loss calculation that many accounting scholars stress, seems to be common to all histories of economic activities. I believe that even Robinson Crusoe calculated profit and loss in a solitary island in the distant ocean. Therefore, it may be difficult for the historical character to be clarified from the view point of the function of calculating profit and loss. However, DEB has another function of dividing profit. Here, I am elucidating the ground that this latter function has made DEB become an important institution in capitalistic society.

Regulation against the next final crises is a tragic tale of regulatory missteps. Regulators are cowered by congressmen who are in the pockets of lobbies and vested interests. The Volker Rule that attempts to separate the high risk investments by the large banks from their commercial banking (the latter is FDIC insured) and the banks have lobbed to have their high risk investments protected by the FDIC funds. The Volker Rule simply attempted to prevent the banks high risk investments from enjoying a back stop using the public funded FDIC. Without Volker, the banks would engage in what is termed a 'morale hazard'. Volker's original simple one-page solution has been batter-down by congressional lobbies into a 100 pages plus list of 'exceptions' (read loop-holes).

The purpose of this paper is to identify new inflection points in the development of IAS 38 Intangible Assets in order to provide a comprehensive image of its evolution. This paper develops the inflection point theory proposed before by Ienciu and Matis (2014). By means of this theory, new inflection points are identified and analysed based on two determining factors: period of time expressed in months for each stage and amplitude expressed in number of comments letters received following the publication of a discussion paper/exposure draft. The paper results may help academics, practitioners and corporate reporting regulators better identify each change occurred in the evolution of IAS 38. By identifying new inflection points in the development of IAS 38, having had significant contribution to the inflection point theory in the accounting field, opportunities for future research are identified. The study extends the existing literature in the field of inflection point theory and highlights the contributions of different fields of interest in the inflection point arena.

In the green paper 'Audit policy: lessons from the crisis' of 2010, the European Commission discussed a break up of Big Four audit firms, since high market concentration was considered as a threat to independency. Our results suggest that concentration in the market for audits of German listed companies is persistently high. Regarding audit quality, clients of Big Four auditors show significantly lower amounts of discretionary accruals and lower likelihoods of error findings by the German enforcement system than clients of non-Big Four firms. When controlling for firm-specific characteristics, the difference remains observable only for the enforcement-error-proxy. The results suggest that differences in discretionary accruals might not primarily be influenced by auditor choice, but by different firm-characteristics between Big Four and non-Big Four clients. Nevertheless, while Big Four auditors might not be able to better constrain earnings management than non-Big Four auditors, they seem to be more successful in preventing 'real' accounting mistreatments, indicating higher audit quality.
在2010年的绿皮书《审计政策:危机的教训》(Audit policy: lessons from the crisis)中,欧盟委员会(European Commission)讨论了四大审计公司的分拆,因为市场高度集中被认为是对独立性的威胁。我们的研究结果表明,德国上市公司审计市场的集中度一直很高。在审计质量方面,与非四大会计师事务所的客户相比,四大会计师事务所的客户显示出明显更低的可自由支配应计金额和更低的德国执法系统发现错误的可能性。当控制公司特定特征时,这种差异仅在执行-错误-代理中可见。结果表明,可支配性应计利润的差异可能主要不是受到审计师选择的影响,而是受到四大和非四大客户之间不同事务所特征的影响。然而,尽管四大会计师事务所可能无法比非四大会计师事务所更好地约束盈余管理,但它们似乎在防止“真正的”会计不当行为方面更成功,这表明审计质量更高。

The quality of disclosures and other reporting instruments in written language cannot be measured directly. Based on the analysis of Spearman's rank correlation coefficients, this paper provides a comparison of different content analysis techniques by applying those to the reports regarding the internal control and risk management system relevant for the accounting process of the German DAX-30 companies for the fiscal year 2011. The results show that computerised measures lead to similar results as qualitative disclosure quality measures on a firm level (except for density of provided information). The exception for density might be driven by information overload or by the fact that the applied disclosure score does not capture all relevant information. However, on the item level the keyword analysis does not provide similar results as the disclosure score methodology. Therefore it seems to be indispensable to rely on researchers judgments if beyond disclosure quality on a firm level also the content should be examined.

The materiality principle supports the information function of accounting in order to enhance investors' decisions. Therefore, materiality guides the entity to present relevant information and to prevent information overload. This decision is mostly subjective and is based primarily on the individual's judgement in applying vague legal concepts. This could result in a greater expectation gap between management information and investors' understanding. The EU accounting directive 2013/34/EU standardises materiality to harmonise with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). However, the German legislator did not change the national accounting rules German Commercial Code (GCC). Moreover, the new EU audit regulation (EU) No 537/2014 requires the disclosure of the quantitative level of materiality thresholds in the audit report. Guidelines remain inadequate, although they are intended to provide clearly defined rules and to avoid boilerplate checklists. Our paper focuses on a conceptual comparison of materiality between the GCC and IFRS/ISA, and on the implications for eliminating the challenge involved in information overload.
重要性原则支持会计的信息功能,以增强投资者的决策。因此,重要性引导主体呈现相关信息,防止信息过载。这种决定大多是主观的,主要基于个人在应用模糊法律概念时的判断。这可能导致管理层信息与投资者理解之间的预期差距更大。欧盟会计指令2013/34/EU对重要性进行了标准化,以与国际财务报告准则(IFRS)保持一致。但是,德国立法者没有改变《德国商法典》(GCC)的国家会计规则。此外,新的欧盟审计法规(EU) No 537/2014要求在审计报告中披露重要性阈值的定量水平。准则仍然不够充分,尽管它们的目的是提供明确定义的规则和避免样板检查清单。我们的论文侧重于GCC和IFRS/ISA之间重要性的概念比较,以及消除信息过载所带来的挑战的影响。
