Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is necessary to provide confidence to financial markets, so that they can function and develop in a successful manner. Inaccurate financial statements subject to fraud which initiate accounting scandals make it difficult for financial statements users to make the right decision. In order to assure transparency, reliability, objectively and standardization, financial statements are audited by independent auditors. However, the accounting scandals experienced in the 21st century has shown that, independent auditing firms do not always fulfill their duties completely. For this reason, legislation was introduced in United States of America (USA), Europe and Asian countries, including Japan. Public oversight bodies were also established. But despite the introduced laws, regulations, arrangements and public oversight bodies, the risk of accounting scandals still continues. This is partly due to the fact that laws, regulations, arrangements and introduction of public oversight bodies are delayed and they are not completely meeting the expectations of changing market conditions. Effective pro-active policies and actions are not in order as well. This paper investigates accounting scandals and eye-cathing frauds by making a comparison between USA and Japan, while considering and discussing the role of auditing.

Download or read book Transcending Cultural Frontiers written by Norhayati Zakaria and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-19 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the cultural challenges often faced by international managers and global business operations. In the last few decades, the world has witnessed unprecedented economic turmoil, volatility, and uncertainty which has altered the political dynamics and sociocultural landscape around the globe and directly or indirectly affected international business activities. Further, new markets have opened up in every corner of the world. Brazil, Russia, India, and China, collectively known as BRIC, are strong emerging economic powers similar to the once captivated ‘Asian Tigers’ such as Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan which rose decades ago. The emergence of these markets has heightened both the opportunities and challenges for national and international businesses. Multinational firms are gradually expanding in the emerging markets and are expected to become giants in the foreseeable future. As they expand, they also need to assume increasing social responsibilities in a global context, and it is important that the ways business is conducted are developed accordingly. As such, understanding the practices, challenges, and strategies that companies have developed is critical to global firm’s success. Against this background, the book highlights the importance of understanding cultural elements when managing multicultural human behaviors in the workplace. Based on conceptual and empirical work, it pushes the frontiers of knowledge of this emerging field in international business setup and management, and explores how globalization is changing the way in which multinational firms formulate their business strategies. “The editors of this text bring a wealth of expertise in this area, as is evidenced by their choice of topics, and the strength of the experts they have invited to contribute to the book. The combined chapters provide both strategic guidance as well as a focus on operational concerns that may arise in international business including expatriation and human resource mobility. The authors not only correctly identify the oncoming challenges, but also present evidence regarding the likely solutions such as culture and innovation and global change management. Overall, this book will be a tremendous resource for scholars in the international business field, but I believe the audience will be much wider. The international team of editors and authors bring a wide range of perspective as well as real-world contextual knowledge that will be useful for scholars and practitioners who seek to leverage culture and human capital to advance international business and drive the global economy. I applaud the editors for their vision and leadership in guiding us through one of the most challenging contemporary research areas and through one of the most pressing challenges of our day.” -Dr. Richard L. Griffith, Executive Director, Institute for Cross Cultural Management, Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne, FL, USA
