Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from Jordanian industrial public-listed companies for the period 2011–2017. Accrual earnings management is measured by using the modified Jones model, whereas real earnings management and related party transactions are measured by using relevant proxies. A regression model is developed and used to assess the relation between related party transactions and earnings management, taking into account the effects of ownership concentration, family ownership and institutional ownership levels of the companies involved. Findings Accrual earnings management is negatively associated with related party transactions. Regarding the role of ownership structure, the presenc...

To achieve the aim of the study, the analytical descriptive approach has been used and a questionnaire has been designed and given out to the study sample, which represented from the auditors of Directorate of senior taxpayers and directorates of medial taxpayers in the income tax department and sales who work in these directorates. The appropriate statistical methods have been used to find results. The findings showed that using the analytical procedures led to reducing the cost of a tax audit in all auditing stages. The stage, which has the most impact of using the analytical procedures on reducing the cost, is the final auditing stage followed by the planning stage and the implementation (fieldwork) stage. The study recommended the necessity of compulsion of the auditors in tax department to use the analytical procedures becau...

These events led to calls for reestablishing the shari’a for all aspects of life. Arab countries responded by constituting Islamic parties and institutions including Islamic banks. Islamic banks flourished quickly all over the world. Some consider this evidence of success. Most of the operations of Islamic banks (40%-80%) were in the area of Murabaha. Accounting and auditing standards were issued by the Organisation of Accounting and Auditing Standards for Islamic Financial Institutions in Bahrain (OAASIFI) in 1997 by translating the international standards so as to begin from where others reached. Many questions were raised about the lawfulness of Islamic banks operations, although there are shari’a control bodies in ever...
