Interest in audit quality is at an all-time high. The sudden collapse of Enron in the United States in 2001, followed by a number of other high-profile US companies reporting financial difficulties, created a crisis of public confidence concerning the corporate governance and auditing of publicly-quoted companies in the US. The deep concern about the quality of reported earnings led to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, imposing new requirements on directors and audit committees and effectively ending the self-regulation of the auditing profession in the US. Although there exist significant differences in the regulatory framework, corporate governance regime, and accounting and auditing standards between the UK and the US, the financial regulation of the publicly-quoted companies in the UK has come under scrutiny. Within the UK, significant competition and slow growth in the market for audit services over the past two decades have created downward pressure on audit fees. At the same time the a...

In a study of third-year accounting students from five Scottish universities and academic accounting staff in Scotland, perceptions of the seriousness and frequency of occurrence of 22 different kinds of academic misconduct were measured. Reasons for cheating and for not cheating were also examined. Data with respect to respondent, age, gender, institution, teaching specialism and teaching experience are discussed, along with the implications of these results for all accounting educators.

Abstract This article describes the relationship between citizenship behaviours and performance of university teachers (CBUT) and the professional motivation and self-confidence of their students. Four CBUT dimensions were studied: participatory behaviour, practical orientation, conscientiousness and courtesy. A sample of 242 graduates from a variety of organizations and occupations were contacted. The findings are consistent with those obtained by Rego and Rego and Sousa concerning students' and teachers' points ...

Previous research indicates that age, gender, and prior academic achievement have direct effects on students' approaches to learning and their academic performance and progression. Here an investigation is reported which explores the relationships between 60 first-year undergraduate accounting and business economics students' approaches to learning, their age, gender, prior academic achievement, and their subsequent academic performance and progression. Linear regression analyses identified the strongest predictor of first-year academic performance and progression as prior academic achievement (i.e. performance in school examinations). Cluster analysis of the six dimensions of the RASI, academic performance and progression revealed two clusters. The first cluster (labelled 'effective learner') had a 75.0% rate of progression; the second (labelled 'ineffective learner') had only an 11.7% rate of progression. 'Effective learner' scores high on Deep Appr...

Given the psychometric limitations of existing measures of Kolb's experiential learning model (ELM), two new scales of learning styles have been developed. The validity of these scales has been supported in samples of undergraduate and MBA students in the USA. This paper provides evidence of some psychometric properties of scores yielded by these scales using samples of undergraduate students in the UK. Only limited support is found for the internal consistency reliability and construct validity of scores produced by the scales. However, an item attrition exercise identifies a two-factor solution providing an acceptable fit to the data. The scales are reported as being positively correlated with academic performance and prior academic achievement. Despite the mixed evidence, we suggest further development of the scales is warranted to create a psychometrically sound measure of the ELM.

This investigation: first, examines some psychometric properties of the scores obtained on a 30 item short form of the Revised Approaches to Studying Inventory (RASI) using samples of postgraduate management (MBA) students (n=75); second, examines the relationship between scores on the three dimensions of the RASI and background variables of age, gender and prior educational experience; third, tests for any relationship between the background variables and academic performance as measured by four distinct types of assessment; and fourth, examines the relationship between scores on the three dimensions of the RASI and academic performance. No previous published work has examined the approaches to learning of postgraduate business students. Key findings include: the instrument has satisfactory psychometric properties; and scores obtained on the RASI using samples of MBA students are good predictors of academic performance in continuous assessment tasks but poor predictors of performan...

Purpose – This paper aims to explore the intersection of disability and accounting employment. Design/methodology/approach – The paper uses oral history accounts of 12 disabled accountants. The authors investigate narrators' experiences of being disabled people and professional accountants, identify the barriers they encounter in professional employment, and how they (re)negotiate professional work. Findings – The narrators' accounts are complex and
