SYNOPSIS The objective of this paper is to provide a systematic evaluation of independence as a foundational element of the auditing profession. We maintain that while independence is a theoretically appealing construct, it is fraught with practical problems surrounding its implementation, monitoring, and regulation. We analyze the current oversight of auditor independence and evaluate the need for auditor independence from the perspective of information users and information producers. In the process, we discuss important implications and intractable challenges that affect one or more parties involved in the financial-reporting process. Finally, we carefully evaluate alternatives to the current regulatory approach for managing auditor independence (i.e., proscribing various auditor-client relationships). We conclude that increasing audit committees' responsibilities for monitoring the auditor's independence—along with additional disclosure about threats and safeguards to auditor independence—is worthy of further consideration and debate as a path toward addressing the auditor independence conundrum.

SYNOPSIS The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB), and the U.K. Financial Reporting Council (FRC) have proposed or approved standards that significantly change the independent auditor's report. These initiatives require the auditor to make additional disclosures intended to close the information gap; that is, the gap between the information users desire and the information available through the audited financial statements, other corporate disclosures, and the auditor's report. They are also intended to improve the relevancy of the auditor's report. We augment prior academic research by providing standard setters with an updated synthesis of relevant research. More importantly, we provide an assessment of whether the changes are likely to close the information gap, which is important to financial market participants and other stakeholders in the audit reporting process. Also, we identify areas where there seems to be a lack of sufficient research. These results are of interest to all stakeholders in the audit reporting process, as the changes to the auditor's report are fundamental. Additionally, our summaries of research on the auditor's report highlight where there is limited research or inconsistent results, which will help academics identify important opportunities for future research.

Journalism critics have argued that transparency about the reporting process is an ethical imperative. Convergence offers news organizations opportunities for changed writing styles that may foster more transparency, especially as they embrace video storytelling. This project used two experiments to investigate the impact of transparent language on the way online news consumers perceive the credibility of video news reports. The study operationalized transparency in narrative as the use of first-person statements and references to the newsgathering process. Subjects noticed transparency statements but this had no significant effect on their assessment of the credibility of a story or reporter. The results suggest that transparency is a distinct variable with a complicated relationship to other audience effects.

Although research into the relationship between quantitative literacy (QL) and news reporting is sparse, the consensus among researchers is that journalists tend not to place QL very highly among their professional values and that journalism suffers as a consequence. This paper is an attempt to provide concrete examples of the ways in which news reports systemically misinterpret, misrepresent, or misuse numerical data as part of the reporting process. Drawing on scenarios ranging from elections and healthcare to the mundane world of food preparation, it shows how a lack of rigour in the fields of reporting and news production can lead to a diminution in the quality of journalism presented to the public. It is argued that while the effect of this can sometimes be trivial, on occasion it is literally a matter of life and death.

In this study regression analysis was made by using Modified Jones model and investigated whether their earnings management application or not , has also targeted to determine the companies applying for earnings management.The distribution of the average of discretionary accruals calculated for years as each company is analyzed; average of discretionary accruals shows a normal distribution, in this situation, It was concluded that there was no impact on the economic development of total accruals, depending on the establisded regression model. It can be expressed that the companies were in tendency to increase revenues for 2014 year and to decrease in revenue for 2013 and 2015 years.  In addition, companies which tend to manipulation in this study were identified. Özetİşletmeler, muhasebe sistemindeki alternatif uygulamaların sağladığı esneklikten yararlanarak, finansal tabloları gerçekte olduğundan farklı gösterecek şekilde düzenlemek suretiyle kazanç yönetimi uygularlar. Kazanç yönetimi, özel kazançlar elde etmeye yönelik dışsal finansal raporlama sürecine bu amaçlara uygun olarak müdahale etmektir. Kazanç yönetimi ile yatırımcıların ve diğer finansal bilgi kullanıcılarının karar ve düşüncelerini etkilemek amaçlanmaktadır.Kazanç yönetimi, yöneticilerin kazanç ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak amacıyla kullandıkları çok tartışılan bu yüzden araştırılmaya değer bir yöntemdir. Bu alanda uzman ve profesyoneller kazanç yönetimini tespit etmek için birçok yaklaşımı bulmuşlardır ki bu yaklaşımlar arasında birçok araştırmacı tarafından favori model kabul edilen tahakkuk esaslı Düzeltilmiş Jones Modelidir.Kazanç yönetimi uygulamalarının belirlenmesini amaçlayan bu çalışmada, BİST 100 endeksindeki 81 şirketin 2013-2015 yılları arasındaki verilerinden faydalanılmıştır. Araştırmada literatürde yer alan Düzeltilmiş Jones Modeli kullanılarak regresyon analizi yapılmış ve bu yöntemle şirketlerin kazanç yönetimi uygulaması yapıp yapmadığı araştırılmış, ayrıca kazanç yönetimi uygulayan şirketlerin belirlenmesine yönelik çalışma hedeflenmiştir. Yıllar itibariyle her bir şirket için hesaplanan ihtiyari tahakkukların ortalamalarının dağılımı incelendiğinde; ihtiyari tahakkukların ortalamalarının normal dağılım gösterdiği, bu durumunda kurulan regresyon modeline bağlı olarak toplam tahakkuklar üzerinde ekonomik gelişmelerin bir etkisinin olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.  Analiz sonucuna göre şirketlerin 2013 ve 2015 yıllarında gelir azaltıcı ve 2014 yılında gelir artırıcı bir manipülasyon eğiliminde oldukları ifade edilebilir. Ayrıca bu çalışmada kazanç yönetimi eğiliminde olan şirketler belirlenmiştir.

<div class="WordSection1"><p><strong><em>ABSTRACT:</em></strong><em> The purpose of this research to explore the perceptions of taxpayers on the satisfaction of assistance performed by tax volunteers at the Tax Volunteer placement location. There are 4 (four) locations for the placement of Tax Volunteers, namely KPP Pratama Singaraja, KP2KP Negara, KP2KP Amlapura and Tax Center Undiksha. This research use desciptive qualitative approach. The sampling technique used in this research was purposive sampling with interview techniques in collecting research data. The population in this research are taxpayers who carry out the duty to annual tax return through e-Filing. Meanwhile, the sample in this research were taxpayers whose reporting the annual tax return were assisted by Tax Volunteers in the 4 (four) placements. The results of this research indicate that taxpayer assistance activities by tax volunteers in helping to fill individual annual tax returns are very effective. This can be seen from the satisfaction of taxpayers after receiving assistance by Tax Volunteers. Taxpayers are satisfied with the assistance of tax volunteers because the annual tax return reporting process is easier, faster and Tax Volunteers are able to guide Taxpayers in filling out their own. This assistance helps reduce the difficulties experienced by Taxpayers in understanding SPT filling independently. Taxpayer satisfaction is expected to increase compliance in reporting the Annual Tax Return. The sustainability of the Tax Volunteer program is also highly expected because it is considered very effective for taxpayers who do not understand the procedures for submitting annual tax return, especially those who are not yet competent with technological advances.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: Perception, Assistance, e-Filing, Tax Volunteers</em></p><p> </p><p><strong>ABSTRAK:</strong> Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali persepsi wajib pajak atas kepuasan pendampingan yang dilakukan oleh Relawan Pajak di lokasi penempatan relawan pajak.
