Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accounting practices, concerns about ethical behavior, and the career-related choices accountants have to make from organizational challenges were addressed in this study by survey method. These concerns and challenges in turn have their social, economic, cultural, technological, and political implications. The variables were studied using Pearson's correlation coefficient and augmented by Fisher's z scores. Varying life challenges were more likely to influence attitudes than job satisfaction. Hence, educational awareness forums when geared towards conflict resolutions were more likely to foster social change processes than professional activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research work focuses on the role played by predictive ratios in effort to check incidence of creative accounting in the financial reporting system of Dangote Cement Nigeria Plc. It examines whether the impact of joint application of the Beneish 8-Predictive Ratios and the Altman Z-Scores as effective check on practices of Creative Accounting in Dangote Cement Nigeria Plc differ significantly. It also makes further effort at determining whether the predictive implications/outcome of the Beneish 8-Predictive Ratios application differ significantly in the pre and post IFRS reporting periods covered in the study. The research work is quantitatively designed. Dangote Cement Plc, the only Nigerian manufacturing company that made the list of Forbes 2015 top 2000 companies in the world, is purposively and judgmentally sampled. Thus, data from secondary sources comprising Annual Reports and Audited Accounts of Dangote Cement Nigeria Plc (2000 - 2015), published journals, Articles, Inaugural lectures etc, are used for the successful completion of this work. Inputs from the Annual Reports and Accounts are further analysed with the aid of Beneish 8-predictive Ratios and Altman Z-Scores ratio using the Mann Whitney U Test, and Wilcoxon statistical techniques. The result of the analyses shows that there is no significant difference in the impact the joint application of Beneish 8-predictive Ratios and the Altman Z-score model would have on investigations into creative accounting practices in predicting possible tendencies of such practices in any corporate organisation in Nigeria. It also found that there is no significant difference in the predictive implications of the Beneish 8-Predictive Ratios in the pre and post IFRS reporting periods of Dangote Cement Company. As a result, the study recommends that professional Accountants must tighten up their audit belt firmly towards ensuring that greater emphasis is equally placed on the data integrity/quality of the financial reports and not just on their IFRS disclosure quality.

Download or read book Taming Creative Accounting Via International Financial Reporting Standards written by Edesiri Godsday Okoro and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creative accounting has remained a contentious issue, raising series of arguments in the accounting literature. These arguments are premised on twofold: positive creative accounting (ethical) and negative creative accounting (unethical). Positive creative accounting is grounded on 'fair' accounting practices while negative creative accounting is built on 'inappropriate' accounting practices that may be mendacious to users of accounting numbers. Creative accounting is a way of ethically assisting firms out of the compass of crashing out of business but rather it has been seen as an instrument of destruction. However, this paper examined international financial reporting standards (IFRSs) as a way of taming creative accounting as well as factors that trigger unethical accounting practices in Nigeria. The paper utilized structured questionnaires administered to 120 professionals (auditors, investors, stockbrokers). The Pearson Product Moment Correlation statistical tool was used in analyzing the field data. Based on the analysis, we found that IFRSs can be used to tame creative accounting. This implies that IFRSs moderate excessive unethical accounting practices. We found that one of the most significant factors triggering negative creative accounting is 'conflict of interest'. On the basis of the findings, we recommended that ethical standards by the accounting profession should be properly aligned to suit the present business environment and sustained so as to checkmate excessive use of creative accounting. Also, IFRSs should be fully implemented by all corporate firms as well as more ethical standards that may guide management on creative accounting should be made available by regulatory framework of accounting so as to guide its use without it being detrimental to stakeholders.

Book excerpt: Accounting is the discipline with the oldest historical culture, being the first to be recognized by humanity when Adam and Eve were made to account for what they did in paradise. It is also the only discipline that will come into play in the Hereafter, where everybody would be raised up as an accountant - to account for all they have done during their life time on earth!

Business owners, creditors, managers, prospective investors, government and its agencies, employees and even the general public seek accounting information to guide them when taking various informed decisions about reporting entities and the environment within which they operate. This book addresses the historical accounting culture, its theories as well as its practices.
