This study explores the use of online toxic communication and how it impacts perceptions of DEI in the accounting academic community. During a recent job market season, we observed the use of toxic communication, including racism, sexism, and hate speech, in the form of anonymous posts made to two online job market forums. Using qualitative methods, including analysis of the online forums and a survey of job market participants, we find that forum language implies that unqualified candidates receive preferential treatment in the job market based on their race or gender, often referring to these individuals as “diversity hires.” Forum language also states that candidates from historically marginalized communities face discrimination in this process. Importantly, we find that toxic communication negatively impacts candidates’ views of DEI within the accounting academy. Overall, this study serves as a call to action to leadership to identify and denounce toxic communication within our community. JEL Classifications: M40; M49.
本研究探讨了网上有毒信息的使用及其如何影响会计学术界对 DEI 的看法。在最近的就业市场季,我们观察到在两个在线就业市场论坛上以匿名发帖的形式使用的有毒交流,包括种族主义、性别歧视和仇恨言论。通过定性方法,包括对在线论坛的分析和对就业市场参与者的调查,我们发现论坛的语言暗示不合格的应聘者在就业市场上因其种族或性别而受到优待,并经常将这些人称为 "多元化招聘"。论坛语言还指出,来自历史上被边缘化社区的候选人在这一过程中面临歧视。重要的是,我们发现,有毒的交流对候选人在会计学术界对 DEI 的看法产生了负面影响。总之,这项研究呼吁领导层采取行动,识别并谴责我们社区中的有毒沟通。JEL 分类:M40; M49.

We examine whether critical audit matter (CAM) disclosures contain information about material misstatement risks that is priced in audit fees. We find that textual features of auditors’ risk descriptions and the types of risks identified capture fee-relevant information. Further, the results are incremental to other determinants of audit fees considered in prior research and to managements’ disclosures in the related notes to the financial statements. Overall, we provide evidence that auditors’ perceptions of audit risks revealed in the newly expanded audit opinion capture information relevant for understanding audit pricing decisions. Data Availability: All data are publicly available from the sources identified in the paper. JEL Classifications: M41; M42; M48.
我们研究了关键审计事项(CAM)披露是否包含审计费用定价的重大错报风险信息。我们发现,审计师风险描述的文本特征和确定的风险类型捕捉到了与费用相关的信息。此外,这些结果与之前研究中考虑的其他审计费用决定因素以及管理层在财务报表相关附注中披露的信息相辅相成。总之,我们提供的证据表明,审计师在新扩展的审计意见中揭示的审计风险认知捕捉到了与理解审计定价决策相关的信息。 数据可用性:所有数据均可从本文确定的来源公开获取。 JEL 分类:M41; M42; M48.

This study examines how firms deploy customer analytics in their performance measurement and reporting systems. Firstly, we synthesize insights from the literature on customer analytics in accounting and marketing and conduct interviews with experts in the field. We then present the results of an online survey conducted among a sample of subscription-based firms known for their early adoption of customer analytics. Our findings reveal that the use of customer analytics varies significantly by metric type, with traditional indicators (e.g., number of customers) showing higher levels of integration compared with more advanced metrics, such as customer lifetime value and customer equity. The extent of adoption in performance measurement and reporting systems appears to depend on the ability of a firm to fit customer analytics into its organizational architecture. We conclude by identifying research avenues reflecting current trends that will likely shape the emerging literature on customer analytics.
本研究探讨了企业如何在其绩效衡量和报告系统中部署客户分析。首先,我们综合了有关会计和营销领域客户分析的文献,并对该领域的专家进行了访谈。然后,我们对较早采用客户分析的订阅型企业进行了在线抽样调查,并展示了调查结果。我们的研究结果表明,客户分析技术的使用因指标类型的不同而有很大差异,传统指标(如客户数量)与更先进的指标(如客户终身价值和客户权益)相比,显示出更高的整合水平。绩效衡量和报告系统的采用程度似乎取决于企业将客户分析融入其组织架构的能力。最后,我们确定了反映当前趋势的研究方向,这些趋势可能会影响有关客户分析的新兴文献。

To address talent attraction and retention challenges with respect to diverse talent in the accounting profession, this study examines the intersection of neurodiversity and the accounting employment experience. Through interviews and online questionnaires of neurodivergent accountants in the U.S., we found a general lack of perceived organizational inclusion among neurodivergent accountants in our study, evidence supporting the existence of a positive impact of perceived organizational inclusion on individuals’ perceptions of their job performance, and key antecedents to perceived organizational inclusion. We report the lived experiences of neurodivergent accountants by amplifying their voices through presentation of oral histories and 37 actionable practices informing future strategies for organizations and leaders in practice.

We conduct an experiment with practicing Big 4 audit seniors and demonstrate that generating counterexplanations for an event in an unrelated task prior to completing audit planning tasks activates a counterfactual mindset that enhances auditors’ professional skepticism. This approach to activating professional skepticism can be implemented without auditor training and can be deployed across many different audit tasks. Overall, the experiment indicates that activation of a counterfactual mindset has significant potential to enhance audit quality.
我们以四大会计师事务所的执业审计前辈为对象进行了一项实验,证明在完成审计计划任务之前,在无关的任务中对某一事件进行反解释,可以激活反事实思维,从而提高审计师的职业怀疑态度。这种激活专业怀疑态度的方法无需对审计人员进行培训即可实施,并可应用于许多不同的审计任务中。总之,该实验表明,激活反事实思维在提高审计质量方面具有巨大潜力。

We document auditors’ remote work experiences during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. We surveyed U.S. auditors to explore their communications with engagement team members and clients and to understand the perceived benefits and challenges of working remotely. Our findings reveal that not all auditors fared equally during remote work. We find that remote work did not generally diminish the initiation or frequency of communication with clients or audit team members (including socially oriented communication); however, the effectiveness of communication with colleagues and/or clients was the most frequently cited challenge. Clients were perceived as being less cooperative and responsive to information requests (especially by less experienced auditors). On the other hand, remote work did provide benefits including no commute, enhanced work/life balance (especially for more experienced auditors), and greater schedule flexibility. We discuss implications of our results as firms continue allowing auditors to work remotely and under hybrid arrangements.
我们记录了审计师在 COVID-19 大流行初期的远程工作经历。我们对美国审计师进行了调查,以了解他们与业务团队成员和客户的沟通情况,并了解他们对远程工作的好处和挑战的看法。我们的调查结果显示,并非所有审计师在远程工作中都表现出色。我们发现,远程工作一般不会减少与客户或审计团队成员沟通的启动或频率(包括社交性沟通);然而,与同事和/或客户沟通的有效性是最常被提及的挑战。客户(尤其是经验较少的审计师)认为他们不太合作,对信息要求的回应也不太积极。另一方面,远程工作确实带来了好处,包括无需通勤、提高工作/生活平衡(尤其是对经验丰富的审计师而言),以及更大的时间安排灵活性。我们讨论了我们的结果对公司继续允许审计师远程工作和混合安排工作的影响。

Diversity and the Evaluation of Talent in the Accounting Profession: The Enigma of Merit 会计行业的多样性与人才评价:功绩之谜

While accounting firms are facing recruitment and retention problems, regulatory bodies are calling for efforts to improve diversity to be more effective, especially at senior levels. In this paper, we discuss “merit” and assumptions about “meritocracy” in processes of performance evaluation and career progression. Based on interviews in medium and large professional services firms in the United Kingdom, we explore how the language/practices of merit can inhibit moves to improving diversity. Merit has two aspects: “technical” notions of core competencies associated with merit and cultural notions of social fit, which have the effect of favoring the progression of the elite groups embedded within firms. The latter creates a loop in understanding merit, enacted within firm culture over time, that is difficult to disrupt. As such, efforts to improve diversity are unlikely to bring about change without considering how organizational beliefs about merit have unintended consequences.
在会计师事务所面临招聘和留住人才问题的同时,监管机构也在呼吁提高多样性的工作要更加有效,尤其是在高级职位上。在本文中,我们将讨论绩效评估和职业发展过程中的 "绩优 "和关于 "任人唯贤 "的假设。根据对英国大中型专业服务公司的访谈,我们探讨了 "择优 "的语言/做法如何阻碍改善多元化的举措。绩优有两个方面:与绩优相关的核心能力的 "技术 "概念和社会适应性的文化概念,这两种概念都有利于公司内部精英群体的发展。后者形成了一个理解绩优的循环,随着时间的推移在企业文化中形成,很难打破。因此,如果不考虑组织中关于 "优点 "的观念如何产生意想不到的后果,改善多样性的努力就不可能带来变革。

SYNOPSIS Prior studies on readability suggest that lengthy corporate reports are difficult to process and may discourage investors’ capital market participation. However, longer reports that contain additional information may actually benefit individual investors, who typically rely on public information. Using a regulatory change that requires firms to disclose additional items in the IPO prospectus, we find that the new regulation increased individual investors’ demand for IPO stocks with longer prospectuses. These results suggest that lengthy reports do not always reduce investor demand, highlighting a potential trade-off between the costs and benefits of longer corporate reports. Data Availability: All data are publicly available from the sources identified in the text. JEL Classification: G18; M41; M48.
先前关于可读性的研究表明,冗长的公司报告难以处理,可能会阻碍投资者参与资本市场。然而,包含额外信息的较长报告实际上可能对个人投资者有利,因为他们通常依赖于公开信息。通过对要求公司在IPO招股说明书中披露更多内容的监管变化,我们发现新监管增加了个人投资者对招股说明书较长的IPO股票的需求。这些结果表明,冗长的报告并不总是减少投资者的需求,这突出了较长的公司报告的成本和收益之间的潜在权衡。数据可用性:所有数据均可从文本中确定的来源公开获得。JEL分类:G18;M41;M48。

SYNOPSIS General-purpose financial statements prepared under GAAP are for a consolidated reporting entity—a collection of legal entities that includes the parent and any subsidiaries it controls. This reporting model results in a loss of information about the individual legal entities within the consolidated reporting entity. Our study examines the role of parent-only balance sheet information in assessing the credit risk of the parent when it is a bank holding company. We obtain evidence from three trading platforms: credit default swaps (CDS), outstanding bonds, and new bonds. We find that parent-only leverage is useful for debtholders to assess the parent’s credit risk even after considering consolidated leverage. Moreover, in CDS markets, parent-only leverage is more useful for firms without downstream guarantee than for firms with guarantee and is less useful for firms with a stronger internal capital market. Our study raises the awareness of parent-only financial information for credit risk assessments. Data Availability: All data are available from the identified public sources.

简介:根据公认会计准则编制的通用财务报表适用于合并报告实体——包括母公司及其控制的任何子公司在内的法律实体的集合。这种报告模式导致有关合并报告主体内各个法律实体的信息丢失。我们的研究考察了当母公司是银行控股公司时,仅母公司资产负债表信息在评估母公司信用风险中的作用。我们从三个交易平台获得证据:信用违约掉期(CDS)、未偿债券和新债券。我们发现,即使在考虑合并杠杆后,仅母公司杠杆也有助于债权人评估母公司的信用风险。此外,在CDS市场中,只有母公司的杠杆对没有下游担保的公司比有担保的公司更有用,而对内部资本市场较强的公司用处较小。我们的研究提高了家长对信用风险评估的财务信息的认识。数据可用性:所有数据均可从已确定的公共来源获得。JEL分类:M2;M4;G3。

Options Trading and Earnings Management 期权交易和收益管理

SYNOPSIS This study examines how options trading plays a unique role in curbing firms’ earnings management. We find that options trading volume deters managers’ earnings manipulations, and the effect can be explained by unique characteristics of the options markets. Our results remain unchanged when using both an instrumental variable approach and difference-in-differences analyses to mitigate endogeneity concerns, and after controlling for investors’ short-selling activities. This study adds to the literature by documenting a real impact of options trading on financial reporting. Our results suggest that the options markets promote price efficiency not only by incorporating private information from informed traders, but also by incentivizing managers to disseminate less manipulated information.

本研究探讨期权交易如何在抑制公司盈余管理中发挥独特作用。研究发现,期权交易量对管理者的盈余操纵具有抑制作用,期权市场的独特特征可以解释这一效应。当使用工具变量方法和差异中之差分析来缓解内生性担忧,并控制投资者卖空活动后,我们的结果保持不变。本研究通过记录期权交易对财务报告的真实影响来补充文献。我们的研究结果表明,期权市场不仅通过纳入知情交易者的私人信息,而且通过激励管理者传播较少被操纵的信息来提高价格效率。数据可得性:支持本研究结果的数据可应要求从通讯作者处获得。JEL分类:E44;G3;M41。

We find that options trading volume deters managers’ earnings manipulations, and the effect can be explained by unique characteristics of the options markets. Our results remain unchanged when using both an instrumental variable approach and difference-in-differences analyses to mitigate endogeneity concerns, and after controlling for investors’ short-selling activities.
