This paper attempts to provide a definition of critical accounting using the methodology used by Kant in modern philosophy. The article attempts to show that critical theory can be applied to various disciplines. The paper argues that markets studies research failed to conduct a proper search for the truths and that critical accounting is the branch of accounting and business that has attempted to investigate the financial crises in capitalism. The article provides a discussion on the role of auditors and corporate governance, the financial crisis of 2008 and the various capital markets regulations and laws in the USA from President Roosevelt to President Obama.

In July 2009, the IASB published the IFRS for SMEs, and this standard was amended only recently, in 2015. The standard seems to be successful. Within its short lifetime 89 jurisdictions have already made use of it. Ongoing debates have taken place over whether this standard is well suited to be introduced throughout Europe and in most other non-adopting countries. We present the results of an online survey carried out among German SMEs. In the study, we focus on trying to determine whether the IFRS for SMEs meets SMEs' needs, whether it makes international comparability possible and what impact can be expected to result from controversial disclosures. Finally, we seek an overall judgment on all the issues mentioned in the survey. Drawing on the partial least square method, we then provide a causal analysis which diagnoses how the different answers contribute to the overall judgment. We discuss these results.

Post-consolidation variations in banks' cash reserves by the Central Bank of Nigeria, are seemingly frequent, aimed at controlling cash availability at banks, cost of credit, and credit advances to facilitate sectoral and overall GDP growth. Research results of analysed data of banks' cash reserves, bank credit, GDP and cash holdings by banks from 2004-2014 using GARCH model show that there exists volatility in the study variables; and a positive and significant relationship exists between volatility in banks' cash reserves and cash held by banks in Nigeria and volatility in bank credit indicating that cash reserve requirement as a liquidity management tool is ineffective in Nigeria in controlling bank lending suggesting that reserve requirements may not effectively constrain bank lending as banks seem to circumvent regulatory controls, creating credit through other means. This necessitates the Central Bank of Nigeria to opt for other liquidity management tools such as introduction of changes in credit window that would enhance cash management. The positive and significant relationship between volatility in bank credit and Nigeria's GDP necessitates the implementation of monetary policies aimed at increasing credit advances to increase production and economic growth.
尼日利亚中央银行(Central Bank of Nigeria)在银行现金储备整合后的变动似乎很频繁，目的是控制银行的现金供应、信贷成本和信贷预付款，以促进部门和整体GDP增长。利用GARCH模型分析2004-2014年银行现金储备、银行信贷、GDP和银行现金持有量数据的研究结果表明，研究变量存在波动性;尼日利亚银行现金储备和银行持有现金的波动性与银行信贷波动之间存在显著的正相关关系，这表明现金准备金作为流动性管理工具在尼日利亚控制银行贷款方面是无效的，这表明准备金要求可能无法有效约束银行贷款，因为银行似乎绕过监管控制，通过其他方式创造信贷。这就需要尼日利亚中央银行选择其他流动性管理工具，如引入信贷窗口的变化，以加强现金管理。银行信贷波动与尼日利亚国内生产总值之间的积极和显著关系要求执行旨在增加信贷预付款以增加生产和经济增长的货币政策。

The purpose of this article is to question the relevance of the theoretical foundations of tax interactions between actors within the framework of administrative decentralisation in Cameroon. Indeed, the theoretical research reflects two explanatory logics to these interactions. The first assumes the potential mobility of tax-bases of Tiebout (1956), Zodrow and Mieszkowski (1986), Wildasin (1988) and Hoyt (1991). The second is based on the agency relationship between the actors through the assumption of political competition comparison by Hirschman (1970), Brennan and Buchanan (1980). In Cameroon, a theoretical study of decentralisation shows that the legislature opted for a part in a tax equalisation as a solution to the phenomenon of spatial segregation or 'social apartheid' and to the other hand to a centralised tax management level of the central government to curb the dangers of the mobility of the tax-base and political sanction by the population - voter. Therefore, two major lessons from this: first, 'the local tax policy is specific to each country and takes into account the contextual specificities' and second, 'the choice of tax decentralisation must take into account the mobility of tax-bases'.

This study examines links between media pressures and Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) listed companies' Labour Practices and Decent Work Disclosures (LPDWD). The results show that there are 95 labour-related articles found in Kompas from 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007. The level of annual report disclosures in 2007 ranges from just under 1% to 100% of companies communicating labour-related information. Correlation analysis reveals that the link between media exposure and firms' communication is significant and positive. The most apparent effect of media is on employee benefit issues. This finding supports the premise of coercive isomorphism. There are, however, major differences between individual LPDWD media exposure items and company reporting. The media intensively highlights Injury Rates and contract employment issues whereas Indonesian companies focus their labour disclosures more on training and Employee Diversity information. This implies that companies in this developing nation window-dress their annual reports to avoid communicating controversial issues especially where they do not perform well. Despite media exposure, it is the government that has greater influence on companies' labour disclosures, pushing companies to continue adopting certain practices and disclose particular issues which contribute to strengthening the Indonesian economy.

This paper explains how the decision-making model often presented to first year accounting students and subsequently adopted by accountants is limiting. It for one thing denies the 'self' and the real consideration of 'others'. We suggest that by adopting some philosophers' concepts, decisions by individuals and teams might be improved; in particular philosophies of Marx, Jung and Sartre. We discuss the merits of West's (2008) alternate decision-making model, based on the concept of choice by Sartre, and how decision-making processes could be altered to improve performance. We also discuss the decision-making steps that consider concept of self through personality as identified by Jung and listed in the Myers-Briggs type indicator (MBTI) literature. Finally we identify decision-making steps to include the concept of the chaotic environment by Marx. We conclude that with the inclusion of the concepts of self and the chaotic environment into West's model decision makers can arrive at a more holistic outcome.

The American Accounting Association has reported a lack of vitality in accounting research. This paper proposes to reform doctoral education for accounting and all other disciplines such that the question the researcher asks is the primary consideration and the research methodology chosen is subordinate, but appropriate, for the question asked. Research methodologies, methods, and techniques should adjust to the question asked rather than adjusting the question asked to any particular research methodology, method, or technique.

The fundamental study focuses on estimating the volatility of exchange rate returns between the US dollar and African emerging currencies based on GAS-GARCH-student t model. Moreover, we employ the GAS-GARCH-student-t to update the time-varying parameter using the scaled score function of the likelihood function. Empirically, the paper utilises daily exchange rate data between the US dollar and three African emerging currencies (Egyptian Pound, Nigerian Naira, and South African Rand) spanning from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2014. Clearly, it is found that the exchange rate returns between the US dollar and African emerging currencies undergo from the volatility clustering phenomenon and that there exists a highly time-varying variance in the exchange rate series that has to be appropriately dealt with, while modelling exchange rates return series. Thus, we can show the existence of high dependence between the US dollar and the African emerging currencies which explain the economic and financial dependency between the USA and the African emerging countries.
