In this paper we address the relationship between happiness and acts of corruption and shadow economy in Romania. From our survey conducted on a sample of 101 respondents from Romania (on March 2020), we find that Romanian people do not link happiness to material issues in particular, but rather they see it as a consequence of having families, professional and spiritual fulfillment, while money and property are last in this ranking. The average income that would make the respondents happy is on average of 5,223 lei (about 1,100 Euro) per month, an amount that they consider necessary to cover the basic needs that influence their development. Our findings reveal that the most corruption practices encountered in the public institutions refer to receiving money and gifts for services to which people are entitled followed by receiving money and gifts to favor someone. However, corruption and shadow economy are not perceived as being very relevant in fully influencing the level of happiness they perceive.

This chapter presents and discusses the application of an analytical framework for managing digital innovation initiatives in the public sector. The chapter positions e-Government and digital innovation initiatives in the public sector within the broader framework of e-Governance (i.e. governance aided by ICT). It first introduces the conceptual framework on which the discussion is based, and then proposes a higher order conceptualization of the relationship between e-Governance and its underpinning value drivers of performance, openness and inclusion. In particular, the analysis focuses on the role that these value drivers plays in the enactment of digital governance initiatives such as the ones related to open government and smart cities. To this end, the chapter discusses its application to initiatives carried out in Barcelona and Tallinn. A typology of e-Governance ‘attitudes’ is then identified to provide evidence of further specific interventions required for an appropriate management of similar initiatives in other countries. The chapter concludes by highlighting the policy implications for administrative reform and offering practical recommendations for implementing digital governance initiatives.


Recently, there has been a continuous occurrence of a security incident on a crypto currency exchange. This background is not related to the current social situation. This is because the social interest in crypto currency provides an attacker with a chance to attack. In this paper, we have started to investigate the relationship between crypto currency and security incidents of block chain. This paper focuses on analysis of crypto currency event of block chain. In this paper, we analyzed the amount of Google data retrieval around specific keywords during a specific period. And we analysis the relevance of this keyword to specific keywords related to security. For example, we analyzed the decrypted bitch coin or etherium, the nice money exchange, nicehash, coincheck, BTCglobal, BITGRAIL, Blackwallet. We are focused on the relationship between the time of the security incident and the public awareness of the related crypto currency exchange. According to the results of the study, it can be assumed that a security incident occurred at a certain point in each exchange. Through this study, we were able to confirm public interest in crypto currency miners. I was able to confirm the degree of interest by time. Cryptographic digger was mainly focused on BitMiner, CGMiner, MultiMiner, and BFGMiner. Most of the public interest in these mining equipment is peaking in December 2017. We also looked at public interest in cryptic bit coin and etherium, mainly in December 2017. The results of this paper can be used to analyze the point of time of the attack on the crypto currency exchange. Crypto currency exchange attacks will continue to occur in the future. If so, when is this attack going to take place? At that point, we need to know at what point the exchange will have public interest. At that point, we should also look at the exchange for vulnerabilities.

The increasing number of cases of manipulation of financial statements that often occur to date has made the public increasingly question the performance of the auditor profession. This is because, most cases of manipulation can occur due to the negligence of auditors who are unable to detect the fraud. So the opinion published is not correct, and then the information presented in the auditor's report becomes misleading. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research to determine the various factors that can increase the accuracy of auditor's opinion. This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the relationship between auditor competence, experience, and professional skepticism on accuracy of auditor's opinion. In addition, this research was also conducted to analyze the moderating effect of the gender variable on the respective relationship between auditor competence, experience, and professional skepticism on accuracy of auditor's opinion. This research was conducted using a quantitative approach with a survey method through distributing questionnaires to 142 auditors who work in public accounting firms in Yogyakarta, Solo and Semarang. This research was tested statistically using simultaneous equations assisted by the SmartPLS application. This research result has found that auditor competence, experience and professional skepticism gives positive influence on accuracy of auditor's opinion. In addition, gender has also been shown to have a positive effect on accuracy of auditor’s opinion as moderating variable.

The fraud cases involving government auditors certainly erode public trust. The importance of improving audit quality to increase the public trust makes author interested in conducting research that seeks to measure the determinants of audit quality. Before Enron and Worldcom’s accounting scandal on 2001-2002, studies that measured audit quality generally still use KAP-size proxies. DeAngelo's (1981: 186), states that: "The quality of audit services is defined as a market-assessed joint venture, which will both (a) discover a breed of client's accounting system, and (b) report the breach". Ethical rules become independent variables in this study. In addition, author also added Expectancy Theory to mediate the relationship between ethical rules and audit quality represented by quality control variables. This model was inspired by Aldhizer et al. (1995) where the measure of audit quality can also be assessed from how much the level of adherence and appropriateness of the client's financial statements to the rules, laws, and applicable standards. The results of the study indicate that ethical rules have an influence on audit quality by mediating by quality control.Keywords : Ethics, Control, Audit.

Background: Professional regulatory authorities play a critical role in protecting public interest. Yet, there is a growing view that trust in regulatory authorities may be on the decline. Objective: Awareness has been identified as important for maintaining trust. However, research that examines public awareness and trust in pharmacy regulatory authorities (PRAs) is lacking. This research explores public awareness and trust of PRAs and presents recommendations to enhance PRA communication strategies. Methods: An online survey was conducted with the Nova Scotia (Canada) public in 2020. Adopting classifications from the Communications literature, 3 media generations were explored: newspaper, television, and the Internet. The χ2 test of independence and Kruskal-Wallis H test were adopted to explore differences between the generations. Results: Six hundred sixty-two usable surveys were obtained. Over 80% of those surveyed were aware of the existence of the PRA. Those who had heard of the PRA were most aware of its operational responsibilities and less aware of its governance. The Internet Generation was more aware that the PRA includes members of the public in its decision making than expected and showed increased trust toward the PRA versus the other media generations. Conclusion: The findings should help inform PRA communication plans and set baselines to assess whether such plans enhance awareness. Future studies should explore additional aspects of PRA awareness and trust, perform comparisons across pharmacy jurisdictions, and develop and test models of the relationship between PRA awareness and various dimensions of institutional trust.
