A cooperative is a governmental organization established to enhance economic growth and national unity. As the development of the law on cooperatives, the present and developing institutions similar to Savings and Loan Union is called Credit Union. A cooperative is very vulnerable to the risk of loss. Insecurity is possible because of the tendency of accounting fraud. Some things that can affect the tendency of accounting fraud are internal control, compliance compensation, and information asymmetry. This research aims to determine whether there is any influence of internal control system effectiveness, compensation compliance, and information asymmetry on the tendency of accounting fraud. The research uses the quantitative method, and the research subject is Sehati Credit Union. The research data consist of primary and secondary data, especially the purposive sampling data which are collected from 36 respondents. Whereas, the data analysis technique uses multiple regression analysis using SPSS 21 software for Windows. The research concludes that the effectiveness of internal control system has a partially positive significant influence on the tendency of accounting fraud, compensation compliance has a partially negative significant influence on the tendency of accounting fraud, and information asymmetry has a partially positive significant influence on the tendency of accounting fraud. It means that the effectiveness of the internal control system, compensation compliance, and the information asymmetry have significant influences on the tendency of accounting fraud. Keywords: Internal Control System, Compensation Compliance, Information Asymmetry, Accounting Fraud.

The study aims to propose a multi-theoretical framework based on information asymmetry and institutional theories by focusing on the OFR regulation changing period from 2004-2006. We carry out an empirical investigation to detect the extent of forward-looking information for a sample of 690 UK non-financial firm-year observations which are drawn from the top 500 UK. We show that the extent of voluntary disclosure of Forward Looking (FL) information is positively and significantly associated with growth opportunities, leadership, audit committee, competition rate, corporate size, and cross-listing. However, the extent of FL information is negatively and significantly associated with blockholders. This paper applies a multi-theoretical lens based on information asymmetry and institutional theories are employed in order to identify potential new determinants of voluntary disclosure in regards to forward-looking information in the UK context.

This chapter addresses post-mergers and acquisitions (M&A) arbitration. M&A transactions provide fertile ground for litigation. These complex transactions usually give rise to a significant level of information asymmetry between the parties regarding the target company. Buyer and seller harbour opposing interests concerning the sale value. Representations and warranties, as well as the allocation of risk among parties, although aimed at facilitating the closing of the transaction, also frequently create tension and give rise to dissonant expectations during the post-closing phase. Cross-border M&A transactions add even more layers of complexity given the different business cultures and legal regimes involved. Even though M&A deals have established standard global commercial practices, which follow the common law framework, they still raise a series of challenges for parties, stakeholders, and legal advisors, generating all types of post-closing disputes. Although there are several means of dispute resolution, M&A parties have reliably chosen arbitration as a method for resolving their disputes in Brazil. The chapter then looks at the issues that most frequently feature in the arbitration of international M&A disputes in Brazil.

This study examines how U.S. acquiring firms managed their earnings by means of discretionary accruals prior to the announcement of stock-for-stock domestic and cross-border mergers during the period 1980 to 2002. The objective of this study is to determine whether earnings management is exacerbated in cross-border mergers according to the informational asymmetry hypothesis. The results show that that acquiring firms tend to manage earnings upward prior to stock swap domestic takeovers. In addition, the results reveal some evidence of earnings management prior to stock swap cross-border takeovers. However, the empirical results exhibit no significant distinction in earnings management between the domestic and cross-border mergers. Despite the possible existence of asymmetric information associated with cross-border takeover activities, the international mergers and acquisitions do not facilitate managers to engage in more aggressive earnings management. The findings suggest that the higher degree of information asymmetry in cross-border mergers does not contribute to a higher degree of earnings management.
