<p>This article reports the results of a survey administered in March 2015 about financial fraud in churches, which has been and continues to be a concern academics and professionals must address. The survey results focus on concepts and techniques for preventing, detecting, and resolving church financial fraud. Two hundred (200) adults were invited to complete the survey. Sixty five percent (65%) responded providing strong support for changes such as requiring churches to apply for tax-exempt status, provide financial statements based on strong internal control systems, and use consultants (e.g., Certified Public Accountants, Certified Fraud Examiners) to help develop and implement changes.</p>

Alvin R. Jennings (1905–1990) was a rare breed of an accountant. He was trained as a practitioner and rose to become a managing partner at Lybrand, Ross Bros. & Montgomery, but he kept a constant watch on the academic field of accounting research. Jennings served on the influential American Institute of Accountants' Committee on Auditing Procedure (1946–49) and later as the president of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (1957–58). This paper explores these activities and Jennings' contribution to the professional, academic, and institution discourse of the accounting discipline.

The University of Mississippi Library has digitized the Accounting Historians Journal from 1974 through 1992, cover-to-cover. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' gift of their library to the University of Mississippi was, fortuitously, the impetus for the AHJ digitizing project. A complicated chain of events followed which included discussions with the Academy of Accounting Historians for copyright permission, an application for a federal grant, negotiations with software vendors, and decisions about search capabilities and display formats. Each article in AHJ is now full-text searchable with accompanying PDF page images.

Worker Cooperative

Purpose – While a comparative study of the literature on accounting as a profession and on cooperatives reveals important differences in the values embodied by certified public accountants and by cooperators, the purpose of this study is to explore whether such differences lead to an insurmountable incompatibility or may possibly be mitigated and eventually overcome. Design/methodology/approach – The study focuses on a French public accounting firm’s project to become a worker cooperative. Drawing on methodological insights from actor–network theory (ANT), the study analyses a situation in which the certified public accountants try to convince some cooperators of the merits of their project. Findings – The case studied suggests that accounting as a profession and cooperatives are irreconcilable. It not only confirms that some of their contrasting features (identified in the literature) are indeed too difficult to overcome but also reveals a new, unforeseen source of tension between certified public accountants and cooperators. Research limitations/implications – The study calls for further research into the so-far-overlooked relationships between accounting as a profession and cooperatives. It also proposes to extend the usage of ANT in accounting research to the study of accounting as a profession. Originality/value – While ANT-inspired accounting research has to date shown a dominant interest in successful translation processes, the present study looks at an unsuccessful translation stage.

As associações sem finalidade lucrativa não possuem legislação específica para evidenciação de suas Demonstrações Financeiras (DFs) e por isso, são obrigadas a prepará-las conforme as normas para as organizações com finalidades lucrativas. Como a totalidade das rendas arrecadas pelas organizações sem fins lucrativos possui destinação específica, a utilização da teoria dos fundos para evidenciação das DFs pode tornar-se a mais adequada para este tipo de entidade. Assim, objetivou-se com este artigo demonstrar a evidenciação do Patrimônio Líquido em uma organização sem fins lucrativos sob a ótica da Teoria dos Fundos. A pesquisa caracterizada como exploratória, buscou converter as DFs de uma organização sem finalidade lucrativa, elaboradas de acordo com a Teoria da Entidade, em DFs elaboradas segundo os princípios da Teoria dos Fundos. O modelo de DFs utilizado no estudo encontra respaldo no Pronunciamento SFAS 117 do American Institute of Certified Public Accountants de 1993, o qual identifica se os recursos arrecadados apresentam restrições temporárias, permanentes ou nenhum tipo de restrição de uso pela organização. Os resultados mostram que a conversão permite ao usuário das informações contábeis identificar o patrimônio da organização de acordo com a sua finalidade e/ou restrição. Desse modo, a organização em estudo apresentou um patrimônio quase em sua totalidade com característica de restrição de uso. Além de revelar um superávit consolidado no Resultado do Exercício pelo modelo da Teoria da Entidade e um déficit quando segregado por fundos.

Quasi Experiment

The number of accounting graduates has declined sharply following the near universal adoption of the 150-hour requirement for licensing and as a condition for membership in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). This decline has led many observers to conclude that the 150-hour requirement was a mistake. Our study investigates the extent to which the 150-hour requirement (rather than other causes) is responsible for the decline in the number of accounting graduates during the 1990s. We document that approximately 38 percent of the decline can be attributed to the requirement. The other 62 percent of the decline remains unexplained. Our study underscores the importance of considering other factors such as noncompetitive compensation, unattractive working conditions, inappropriate student counseling, and inadequate curriculum among others when trying to understand the decline in accounting enrollments.
