Students use data analytics to evaluate fictitious online sales data and explore sales tax nexus standards following South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. ( Wayfair).  This case provides instructors flexibility. Students can use Tableau to create visualizations that identify states with sales satisfying nexus standards, applying the Wayfair or multistate standards.  Students can use Robotics Process Automation to evaluate whether the company established nexus in a particular state. Instructors can include no tax research or select from several pertinent tax research questions. This case can be used in undergraduate or graduate tax, audit, or AIS courses, from compliance or tax risk perspectives. The learning objectives are to develop students’: (1) knowledge of data analytics; (2) knowledge of economic nexus and assess the tax law changes impact on business decisions; (3) research skills; (4) skills specific to data analytics and data visualization in accounting; and (5) effective oral and written communication skills.
学生们使用数据分析来评估虚构的在线销售数据,并探索南达科他州诉Wayfair,股份有限公司(Wayfair)之后的销售税关系标准。这种情况为教员提供了灵活性。学生可以使用Tableau创建可视化,应用Wayfair或多州标准来识别符合nexus标准的销售州。学生可以使用机器人过程自动化来评估公司是否在特定状态下建立了联系。讲师可以不包括税务研究,也可以从几个相关的税务研究问题中进行选择。从合规或税务风险的角度来看,这种情况可用于本科生或研究生的税务、审计或AIS课程。学习目标是培养学生的:(1)数据分析知识;(2) 了解经济关系,评估税法变化对商业决策的影响;(3) 研究技能;(4) 会计数据分析和数据可视化方面的技能;以及(5)有效的口头和书面沟通技巧。

The purpose of this teaching note is to explain how Structured Query Language (SQL) queries can help auditors to independently retrieve properly formatted data as audit evidence or for further analyses. The note demonstrates data extraction using Microsoft (MS) Access, one of the simplest SQL compliant database software applications. We use a dataset fragment extracted from the publicly available enterprise datasets provided by Walton College (University of Arkansas) to run SQL queries as a part of audit investigations. Data extraction is the first step of Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) and may be time-consuming. We demonstrate how SQL queries can assist with this task, thereby allowing the auditor to begin analysis sooner. This teaching note can be used to prepare future auditors for the emerging data-rich and technology-driven business environment.
本教学说明的目的是解释结构化查询语言(SQL)查询如何帮助审计师独立检索格式正确的数据作为审计证据或进行进一步分析。本说明演示了使用Microsoft(MS)Access进行数据提取,这是最简单的SQL兼容数据库软件应用程序之一。我们使用从沃尔顿学院(阿肯色大学)提供的公开可用的企业数据集中提取的数据集片段来运行SQL查询,作为审计调查的一部分。数据提取是提取、转换和加载(ETL)的第一步,可能很耗时。我们展示了SQL查询如何帮助完成这项任务,从而使审计员能够更快地开始分析。本教学说明可用于为未来的审计师做好准备,以应对新兴的数据丰富和技术驱动的商业环境。

This study explores the implications of market digital transformation in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the undergraduate accounting curriculum. Responding to a number of government initiatives towards artificial intelligence (AI) transformation, corporations and government agencies in the UAE have recently started to test and adopt AI, Blockchain Technology (BT) and Data Analytics (DA) in their operations. This digital transformation in the business environment raises concerns as to whether existing accounting curricula are preparing accounting graduates for the emerging IT needs relevant to the existing accounting job market. To this end, this study explores the extent to which the current accounting curriculum in the UAE reflects the current digital transformation in the country.
本研究探讨了阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)的市场数字化转型对本科会计课程的影响。为了响应政府对人工智能(AI)转型的一系列举措,阿联酋的企业和政府机构最近开始在其运营中测试和采用人工智能、区块链技术(BT)和数据分析(DA)。商业环境中的这种数字化转型引发了人们的担忧,即现有的会计课程是否正在为会计毕业生准备与现有会计就业市场相关的新兴IT需求。为此,本研究探讨了阿联酋当前的会计课程在多大程度上反映了该国当前的数字化转型。

Dynamic View of Pandemic Circumstances with Government Interventions and Socioeconomic Factors 从政府干预和社会经济因素看疫情形势
IF 1.8 Q2 Business, Management and Accounting Pub Date : 2021-06-16 DOI: 10.2308/JETA-2020-078

The Novel Coronavirus Disease, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020 (WHO 2020). Scientists in different fields have contributing to study the pandemic development and to provide support to government policies. However, the traditional measures of individual health, population health, and policy effects have been criticized that many of them reflected the pandemic inaccurately and untimely. This study evaluates the pandemic circumstances from the auditor's perspective, applies the system dynamics theory, and proposes dynamic models to understand the ongoing pandemic using business measurements and analytical technologies. This study also works on estimations of the feedback effects of pandemic-related policy measures. The deliverables of this study establish a dynamic view to understand the current pandemic and provide the government with a simulation tool to visualize the impacts of government interventions at different levels.
世界卫生组织(世界卫生组织)于2020年3月11日(世界卫生组织2020年)宣布新型冠状病毒疾病新冠肺炎为全球大流行。不同领域的科学家为研究疫情发展和为政府政策提供支持做出了贡献。然而,个人健康、人口健康和政策效果的传统衡量标准受到了批评,因为其中许多衡量标准反映了疫情的不准确和不合时宜。本研究从审计师的角度评估了疫情情况,应用了系统动力学理论,并提出了使用业务测量和分析技术来理解正在进行的疫情的动态模型。这项研究还对与疫情相关的政策措施的反馈效应进行了估计。这项研究的可交付成果建立了一个动态视图,以了解当前的疫情,并为政府提供了一个模拟工具,以可视化政府干预措施在不同层面的影响。

The present study introduces an assessment that includes multiple measures of language and discourse within the theoretical frameworks of comprehension in education and cognitive science. We utilize an automated textual assessment tool, Coh-Metrix, to analyze the Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) sections of annual reports to determine if significant differences in text readability are present between bankrupt and nonbankrupt companies. When applying Coh-Metrix indices, the MD&A sections of nonbankrupt companies appear to be easier to understand in terms of word concreteness, referential and deep (or causal) cohesion, and syntactic simplicity. More specifically, the MD&A sections of nonbankrupt companies contain more concrete wording, simpler syntactic structures, more word co-references to tie words and ideas, and more causal and intentional connectives to establish causal and logical relationships within the text.
本研究介绍了一种评估,包括在教育和认知科学理解的理论框架内对语言和话语的多种测量。我们使用自动文本评估工具Coh Metrix来分析年度报告的管理层讨论和分析(MD&A)部分,以确定破产公司和非破产公司之间文本可读性是否存在显著差异。当应用Coh-Metrix指数时,非破产公司的MD&A部分在单词的具体性、指涉和深层(或因果)衔接以及句法简单性方面似乎更容易理解。更具体地说,非破产公司的MD&A部分包含更具体的措辞、更简单的句法结构、更多的单词共同引用来联系单词和想法,以及更多的因果和有意连接词来在文本中建立因果和逻辑关系。

The Use of New Data Sources in Archival Accounting Research: Implications to Accounting Information Systems and Emerging Technologies 新数据源在档案会计研究中的应用——对会计信息系统和新兴技术的启示
IF 1.8 Q2 Business, Management and Accounting Pub Date : 2021-05-18 DOI: 10.2308/JETA-19-11-08-44

We explore the connections from phenomena to new data and from data to theories. While starting with philosophical perspectives from positive economic theory to positive accounting theory, we emphasize the relevance and importance of new data sources to archival research in accounting and the implications to research in accounting information systems and emerging technologies. We present a number of studies in accounting that exemplify the critical role of data in the discovery of theories from phenomena. We argue that data in conventional empirical studies limit methodology to require assumptions and complex econometric treatments for general business settings. Therefore, recent development in "big data" and data analytics, particularly, the improved data availability from a variety of new sources have made strong research designs possible. We provide evidence that 88% of the JIS and 100% of the JETA empirical archival publications in the recent two years used new data sources.
我们探索从现象到新数据,从数据到理论的联系。在从积极经济理论到积极会计理论的哲学视角出发的同时,我们强调了新数据源与会计档案研究的相关性和重要性,以及对会计信息系统和新兴技术研究的影响。我们提出了一些关于会计的研究,这些研究举例说明了数据在从现象中发现理论中的关键作用。我们认为,传统实证研究中的数据限制了方法,需要对一般商业环境进行假设和复杂的计量经济学处理。因此,“大数据”和数据分析的最新发展,特别是来自各种新来源的数据可用性的改进,使强有力的研究设计成为可能。我们提供的证据表明,在最近两年中,88%的JIS和100%的JETA经验档案出版物使用了新的数据源。

Comparative analysis commands special attention in financial analysis as it not only facilitates understanding of  year-on-year changes but also of trends in the performance and position of a company. It is often a go-to tool for competitor analysis. In this note, I illustrate the use of  R (software), its allied packages, and textual analysis algorithms to extend the use of comparative analysis to ‘unstructured’ information presented in the MD&A section of annual reports. For this use case, I consider two giant tech rivals, Apple and Amazon, and present a comparative analysis of their MD&A section using Cosine and Jaccard similarity measures. I also compare the most important words based on tf-idf and sentiments for each company and across the two companies. When supplemented with financial information, comparative analysis can offer novel insights for analysts, managers, researchers, and academics and is a valuable tool to include in accounting curricula.
比较分析在财务分析中需要特别注意,因为它不仅有助于了解年度变化,而且有助于了解公司业绩和地位的趋势。它通常是竞争对手分析的首选工具。在本文中,我将说明如何使用R(软件)及其相关软件包和文本分析算法,将比较分析的使用扩展到年度报告的MD&A部分中呈现的“非结构化”信息。对于这个用例,我考虑了两大科技竞争对手,苹果和亚马逊,并使用余弦和Jaccard相似性度量对它们的MD&A部分进行了比较分析。我还比较了基于tf-idf和两家公司之间的情感的最重要的单词。当与财务信息相辅相成时,比较分析可以为分析师、管理人员、研究人员和学者提供新颖的见解,并且是会计课程中一个有价值的工具。

Requirement of G4 standards as common practice in sustainability reporting makes it important to understand the readability of such reports. This study contributes to the extant body of literature by assessing the readability of sustainability reports. We investigate several factors such as company size, company age, complexity, domestic versus international, and audited versus unaudited reports and how they contribute to the readability of sustainability reports. We apply text analytics to U.S. and Global firm issued sustainability reports. We also provide evidence about factors that may contribute to the readability of sustainability reports. We find that reports of companies in regulated industries are less readable than other firms' reports. We also find that less complex firms have more readable sustainability reports. This study should provide some insights to users of sustainability reports, standard setters for reporting standards, and for future researchers.
G4标准的要求是可持续性报告的常见做法,因此理解此类报告的可读性非常重要。本研究通过评估可持续性报告的可读性,为现有文献做出了贡献。我们调查了几个因素,如公司规模、公司年龄、复杂性、国内与国际、经审计与未经审计的报告,以及它们如何提高可持续发展报告的可读性。我们将文本分析应用于美国和全球公司发布的可持续发展报告。我们还提供了可能有助于提高可持续性报告可读性的因素的证据。我们发现,与其他公司的报告相比,受监管行业公司的报告可读性较差。我们还发现,不那么复杂的公司有更可读的可持续发展报告。这项研究应该为可持续性报告的用户、报告标准的制定者以及未来的研究人员提供一些见解。

We describe a characterization of the conceptual and emotional changes on environmental issues in a sample of firms certified under the ISO 14001 standard. Business communications regarding the main Spanish industrial firms have been downloaded from the ABI/INFORM database and processed using Vantage Point software, in order to study the evolution of the main concepts and emotions before and after the certification year. Our study concludes that in the years before certification environmental management was fundamentally tied to operative issues, broadly pivoting on the immediate impact of a firm's productive activities. Environmental management gains strategic traction in the years after certification, positioning itself near corporate decision-making concepts and associated with adjectives that denote relevance and positivity. The sentiment analysis points at an increased positivity of environment-related issues, accompanied by a general decrease in negative emotions and an increased presence of expectation and planning emotions.
我们描述了在ISO 14001标准下认证的公司样本中对环境问题的概念和情感变化的特征。从ABI/INFORM数据库中下载了有关西班牙主要工业公司的商业信息,并使用Vantage Point软件进行处理,以便研究认证年前后主要概念和情绪的演变。我们的研究得出结论,在认证之前的几年里,环境管理从根本上与操作问题联系在一起,广泛地关注公司生产活动的直接影响。在认证后的几年里,环境管理获得了战略上的牵引力,将自己定位在公司决策概念附近,并与表示相关性和积极性的形容词相关联。情绪分析指出,与环境有关的问题的积极性增加,伴随着负面情绪的普遍减少和期望和计划情绪的增加。

The sentiment analysis points at an increased positivity of environment-related issues, accompanied by a general decrease in negative emotions and an increased presence of expectation and planning emotions.","PeriodicalId":45427,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emerging Technologies in Accounting","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44802490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Organizations such as the AASCB and the Pathways Commission (2012) recommend that emerging technologies be included in the accounting curriculum.  Yet the inclusion of emerging technologies represents a challenge for accounting educators due to the complexity and uncertainty associated with many technologies, as well as the rapid pace of technology change and innovation.  This paper answers the call by the Pathway Commission (2012) for additional research focused on enhancing learning experiences to better reflect current and emerging technologies. Using an experiential learning approach (Butler, Church, and Spencer (2019), we create a hands-on, learning activity focused on blockchains in order for accounting students to gain a conceptual understanding of blockchains and its applications and implications beyond bitcoins.
AASCB和Pathways Commission(2012)等组织建议将新兴技术纳入会计课程。然而,由于许多技术的复杂性和不确定性,以及技术变革和创新的快速步伐,新兴技术的纳入对会计教育工作者来说是一个挑战。本文响应路径委员会(Pathway Commission, 2012)的呼吁,要求进一步研究如何加强学习经验,以更好地反映当前和新兴技术。使用体验式学习方法(Butler, Church, and Spencer(2019)),我们创建了一个专注于区块链的动手学习活动,以便会计学生对区块链及其应用和比特币以外的影响有一个概念性的理解。
