De case Enron, waarbij werknemers niet alleen hun baan maar in sommige gevallen ook nog eens hun pensioen dreigen kwijt te raken, maakt weer eens pijnlijk duidelijk dat het lot van werknemers nauw verbonden is met dat van de onderneming. Als vervolgens de discontinuïteit van de onderneming als een verrassing komt, richten werknemers en hun vertegenwoordigers al snel hun pijlen op de accountant. De verwachtingskloof wordt dan manifest. Dit artikel doet verslag van een onderzoek naar het bestaan en de aard van de verwachtingskloof onder vakbonden. De conclusie is dat vakbonden tevreden zijn met de wijze waarop externe accountants de controle van de jaarrekening verrichten. Zij verwachten echter meer van de corporate watchdog-functie van de accountant en van zijn rol richting ondernemingsraad. Het voorstel van de Sociaal- Economische Raad om de ondernemingsraad het recht te geven maximaal eenderde van de Raad van Commissarissen min of meer dwingend voor te dragen, biedt in dit verband interessante mogelijkheden. Denkbaar is dat deze ‘werknemers-commissarissen’ zitting nemen in het audit committee. In dat geval kunnen werknemers als belangrijke stakeholders invloed uitoefenen op de taakafbakening en op de wijze waarop de accountant binnen de onderneming rapporteert. Geconcludeerd wordt dat invloed in het audit committee en verbeterde voorlichting over de grenzen van de accountantsfunctie naar verwachting zullen bijdragen aan de verkleining van de verwachtingskloof.

In dit artikel rapporteren wij de uitkomsten van onderzoek naar de invloed van expertise van het audit committee op jaarrekeningherzieningen die al dan niet samenhangen met gerapporteerde tekortkomingen in de interne beheersing. Onderscheid wordt gemaakt tussen financiële expertise en branchegerelateerde expertise van leden van het audit committee. Uit het onderzoek blijkt dat sprake is van een significant verband tussen het aanwezig zijn van beide vormen van expertise en het wel of niet falen van de interne beheersing van jaarverslaggeving. Of audit committee-leden al dan niet beschikken over deze expertise bleek belangrijker te zijn dan de mate waarin over deze expertise werd beschikt. Voorts blijkt financiële expertise licht meer impact te hebben dan branche-expertise. In het merendeel van de gevallen gaan financiële expertise en branche-expertise overigens hand in hand.

Ook deze maand presenteren wij weer enkele “Audit Research Summaries” uit de database van de American Accounting Association (www.auditingresearchsummaries. org). De eerste samenvatting betreft een onderzoek naar de invloed van economische relaties tussen verschillende auditklanten, op de kwaliteit van de audit. De onderzoekers vinden bewijs voor de veronderstelling dat de afhankelijkheid van een audit partner van de audit fee van andere klanten in een netwerk - als gevolg van zogeheten ‘audit committee member-audit partner interlocks' - de kwaliteit van de audit in het desbetreffende netwerk vermindert. De volgende samenvatting betreft een onderzoek

The results of this study indicate that managerial ownership, the audit committee and the profitability have positive impact toward the of the company value, institutional ownership has positive impact but not significant, non-executive director with negative effect tendency on the company value. The results of this study also showed that profitability cannot mediate the effect of good corporate governance mechanisms on company value. It can be suggested to replace the intervening variable with other variables such as quality of earnings instead of profitability since it is declined as an intervening variable. non-executive director and institutional ownership does not contribute any positive and significant effect on company value and profitability. The following research can use another proxy in the measurement process and consider other theories that could explain comprehensively.

This study investigates further the previous paper by Shamsul Nahar and Al-Murisi (1997) by examining the interactive effects of the variables in that paper and introducing other variables associated with corporate governance and political costs. The present study postulated that percentage of external directors on audit committee interacted with the presence of an accountant on audit committee and with the number of years an audit committee in existence, respectively, to influence audit committee effectiveness. The study also posited that the interaction of the presence of an accountant on audit committee and the number of years an audit committee in existence positively and significantly influenced audit committee effectiveness. Addition. ally, the roles of leadership structure, audit committee chairman, and a firm's size on audit committee effectiveness were also investigated. Using a multiple regression from a sample consisting the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange listed companies, results showed that only a firm's size significantly influenced audit committee effectiveness in the predicted direction. Other variables, on the other hand, did not show any significant influence on audit committee effectiveness.

The paper empirically examines the impact of corporate governance on the cash holding of the firms. The components of corporate governance are measured by board size, board meeting, audit committee members, directors remuneration and non executive directors and the cash holding is measured with the log of average cash and size is taken as control variable for the control effect on the dependent variables. Moreover, correlation and panel regression model were employed to examine the relationship between the corporate governance and cash holding. Empirical data was collected from 96 firms over the period of 2004-05 to 2013-14. The results show that directors remuneration and the number of audit committee members positively influence the cash holding and the board size also positively influences the cash holding whereas, the non executive directors and the board meetings do not play any role in enhancing the cash holding.
