This study is mainly based on the auditing of medical insurance funds in the audit work report of the National Audit Office’s 2019 central and provincial and municipal budget implementation and other fiscal revenues and expenditures to conduct audit supervision of China’s medical insurance funds, based on the risk-oriented violation of regulations. Identify and evaluate the risks of each stage of the medical insurance fund from the perspective of risk of breaches, thus draw audit points, summarize the path of the medical insurance fund audit supervision so that that audit resources can be concentrated in important stages and key areas. Audit costs can be reduced, and build the regulatory system of the medical insurance fund audit will be constructed accordingly.

There has been a huge and deluge of risk threatening industries at an unequalled magnitude in recent times. As such, the board of directors and senior executives are increasingly expected to manage their various organizations' risk portfolios, affecting their financial performance. This has led to the assigning of the risk assessment role to the audit committee. The board of directors and its audit committee play an essential function in Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) by building up the right condition or tone-at-the-top. Given the board's responsibilities for representing the interests of shareholders, it plays a vital role in overseeing management's approach to ERM. This study examined the relationship between audit committee characteristics and risk management of some selected listed firms in a developing country like Nigeria. The study used secondary data to describe the dependent variable (financial risk decomposed into credit risk and liquidity risk) and the explanatory variables (decomposed into audit committee accounting expertise, audit committee meetings, audit committee independence and audit committee gender). The study used pair sample t-test, student t-test, Pearson Moment Correlation and random panel data estimator for twenty (20) selected listed firms for 2012-2016. Findings indicate that there is a negative between audit committee accounting expertise and financial risk. This revealed that Accounting Expertise in Audit Committees are likely to involve in activities and practices to curb financial risk. In addition, the Audit committee meeting indicates a negative relationship with credit risk. Audit committee gender and audit committee independence have a negative effect on liquidity risk. Therefore, this study recommends that Audit committees embrace Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) to manage risks effectively across the organization. Risk management processes should be one of the major points of discussion during audit committee meetings.

Purpose-The study examined the findings of an empirical evaluation of Human Capital (HC) accounting implications on firm market value among Kenyan private universities. Design/methodology/approach- a Cross-sectional survey on finance and human resource directors in Kenyan private universities. Findings- Kenyan Chartered Private Universities were successful because they accounted for, and reported their HC as material investments. However, further research was recommended to establish whether: the 4.2% who did not enjoy a good reputation and image consecutively for the past three financial periods; the 47% who did not enjoy easy access to Kenya’s capital markets consecutively for the past three financial periods; the 25% who did not retain their quality HC consecutively for the past three financial periods; as well as the 30% who did not enjoy high ROI consecutively for the past three financial periods: did so solely because they did not account and report their HC as material investments or there were indeed other factors motivating the results. Originality/Value-Accounting for HC is a big deal in Kenyan Knowledge-Information-Service-Sector (KISS) firms such as private universities because HC is the intervening factor for competitive advantage: Yet the discipline is unexplored in existing Kenyan empirical works.

The present study focus on the multifractal analysis of the exchange rate for Middle East North Africa (MENA) region from January 1999 to May 2017. The purpose of this paper is to examine the behavior of currency markets and to verify the efficiency hypothesis of FOREX market for these countries. We first estimate the scaling function to detect the multifractal character of each series and then the Hölder exponent, using the Generalized Quadratic Variation (GQV) method, as a function of time H(t). We conclude that there's a multifractal character for all these countries with a difference in the degree of persistence of each market.

The fundamental problematic treated in our study was an attempt to explain an anomaly in the issuance of new stocks in IPOs process. The objective of this research is to analyze the effect of certain variables on the level of undervaluation by presenting certain econometric models issued from Agent-based modelling approach. Certain variables can be predictive of the phenomenon of undervaluation such as: the Stock equity distributed to institutional investors, liquidity in the secondary market measured by the price range and the type of investor who can be insiders or outsiders, in addition to these variables we have introduced some control variables which in turn help explain the level of underpricing and which are the age of the company, its size and dimension, the volume of trade and the volatility. Empirically and based on a sample of 16 companies, we were able to respond to our problematic. In fact, according to the hypotheses tests, the prices of the newly introduced stocks on the stock exchange are mostly undervalued which were aligned with our study. Thereby, the methodology adopted based to Dynamic linear models (DLM) that allows offering a very generic framework to analyse time series data. The results of this research were, in part, consistent with work done in developed countries (especially in USA and Europe). Indeed, the undervaluation is in a positive relationship with certain explanatory variables such as the Institutional ownership (INST), Insiders ownership (INSID), Price range (FOUR), etc. On the other hand, we were able to identify significant negative relationships between the initial undervaluation and the basic variable Outsiders ownership (OUTSID), the size of companies listed on the Tunis Stock exchange (BVMT) and the volume of issued stocks.

The scope of this paper is to provide a synopsis of the accounting research in the Hellenic corporate environment. In addition, we will examine the quality of audit in publicly listed companies, as prescribed by the term “audit gap”; this term specifies and characterizes the growing public concern regarding the audit report credibility and efficiency.These two topics (Hellenic accounting and auditing environment) have been isolated and examined from the previous researchers in depth; however, the novel think of this study is that it examines this “audit gap”, which is the gap between the expectations the public has from the auditors and what auditors actually do in their reports (Caramanis, 2008). This research is useful for capital market and audit authorities as they should focus more on improving audit work and preparing accounting and auditing standards that prevent earnings management. However, our study has the limitation that it examined the capital market, audit and accounting environment of a single country, i.e. Hellas/Greece.

Factors affecting turnover tax collection performance. A case of West Shoa Zone selected districts. In 2017/18 the targeted revenue was 9041224 birr with the actual revenue being 7888536 birr (equivalent to 87.25% or a difference of 1152688) was existence of turnover tax collection gap. This study used mixed research approach and sampling (Systematic random, purposive sampling). Sample sizes 373 respondents selected and distributed questionnaires and interview. Data analyze by SPSS version 20 and factor analysis. Findings revealed that; employee qualification and manpower, taxpayer registrations, technology and information system, management commitment level and tax knowledge affects turnover tax performance positively. It was revealed that perpetuation tax fairness affects negatively where as compliance cost has a negative statistically insignificant. They concluded that the problems facing revenue administration office while collecting turnover tax. Based on the study recommended that revenue authority need to develop strategic management commitment, recruit sufficient number of employees and continues training qualification, maintaining tax fairness and equity, improve taxpayer identification and registration, increase number of users of Electronic Tax Register, extensive tax knowledge (awareness) creation programs update and maximize frequency tax audit effective on field compromising a priority task.

The rationale of this paper is to measure the productivity change of commercial banks in Ethiopia based on DEA-based Malmquist productivity index approach. For this purpose, this study employed a balanced panel data of eight commercial banks operating from 2006 to 2017. The result shows that the banks under study were found to have reported a slight productivity progress of 0.4% over the whole study period. The productivity improvement is accredited to the technological progress (0.9%) rather than the efficiency loss (0.5%). Meanwhile, the finding suggests that the decline in the technical efficiency of the banks was caused both by pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency. Alternatively, the finding of the study indicates that the productivity performance of all the banks under study, with the exception of AIB and CBE, remain almost constant in spite of their size during the period. AIB and CBE have exhibit an average productivity progress of 2% and 1.4% respectively during the study period. In the study period, AIB was found to be the most inefficient (2.4%) and the most productive one (2%) comparing to other banks in the study due to retrogress in scale efficiency change (2.1%) as well as technical progress (4.5%) in that order. Further, the paper suggests that the productivity performance of the banks under study was not significantly different in the period. So, the banks have to move forwards their technology to increase productivity more and more, while improving the resource utilization efficiency by up grading their managerial practices and scale operations (optimum size)

We examine the impact of efficient working capital management on market value and profitability. Using secondary data on selected firms from Dhaka Stock Exchange we explore the effects of various working capital components (i.e. cash conversion cycle (CCC), current ratio (CR), current asset to total asset ratio (CATAR), current liabilities to total asset ratio (CLTAR), debt to asset ratio (DTAR), siz,e and growth) to the firm’s performance by looking firm’s value i.e. Tobin’s Q (TQ) and profitability i.e. return on asset (ROA) and return on invested capital (ROIC). Our results show that, for both food and overall manufacturing sectors, there is a significant association between working capital variables and firm’s value & return on assets, but an insignificant association with return on invested capital.

The paper examines the effect of monetary policy statement shocks on exchange rates. I use Google's Natural Language tools to measure and track changes in the sentiment of FOMC and ECB post-meeting statements. The results reveal a negative relationship between the dollar's value and FOMC statement shocks. Investors sell (buy) the dollar when the sentiment of the FOMC statement is more positive (negative) than the previous one. This negative relationship could be explained by the special status of the U.S. dollar as a safe-haven currency and the significant effect of U.S. monetary policy on other countries' macroeconomic fundamentals. The value of the euro is positively related to ECB statement shocks. The size of the exchange rate response to statement shocks is comparable to that of term structure shocks. There is no material difference between the response of exchange rates in conventional and unconventional times. Statement shocks affect the exchange rates through the information channel.
