Purpose While the world-wide adoption of international financial reporting standards (IFRS) aims to eliminate differences in national accounting standards between countries, the socio-political institutions surrounding financial reporting practices remain localised. This paper aims to penetrate and reveal the manner in which local national context, stakeholder intentions and financial reporting practices can moderate the compliance with IFRS in a developing country. Design/methodology/approach An interview-based qualitative research framework was used to analyse the experience and attitudes of accountants, auditors and financial reporting regulators during a passage of accounting reform initiatives. Findings This paper provides a critical analysis of the financial reporting practices of a developing country that has ostensibly implemented accounting reforms prescribed by the World Bank. It has revealed the key firm- and field-level logics that are experienced and managed by regulators and corporate managers in their approaches to financial reporting and accountability. The World Bank-led accounting reform can be constrained by a complex mix of institutional logics originating from market and corporate structures, networks of institutionalised family and political relationships, professional and regulatory structure and resourcing limitations and cultural business conventions. This paper provides evidence of firm- and field-level logics that contest and influence the emergence of a financial reporting oversight body and lead to highly variable compliance with international accounting standards. Originality/value This paper aims to extend our knowledge beyond broad national-level elements of institutional orders. It presents a more penetrating examination of the existence and contestation of logics originating from various local and global actors and interests. It presents a theoretical mapping of institutional logics, which operate in international and local settings and also encompass firm- and field-level imperatives. Any effort to understand and improve accounting practices of a developing country need to consider the power, contestation and influence of multiple logics operating in its institutional environment.

Expanded Program On Immunization

In 1978 the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in Liberia embarked on a major initiative to expand immunization activity countrywide. During its early development, the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) experienced the realities of establishing an immunization program in a developing country, including the high costs of maintaining mobile operations and a network of kerosene refrigerators. To improve vaccination coverage with diminishing resources, the Program recently began to place greater emphasis on integrating immunization activities into the existing infrastructure of hospitals, clinics, and health posts. Although the EPI goal and objectives, which in retrospect were highly ambitious, have not yet been achieved, it is possible to immunize effectively the children and women of Liberia. Effective vaccination coverage can be achieved by developing local strategies, coordinating resources, and most importantly, involving the community. International organizations must support such efforts by continuing to supplement essential supplies and by promoting research to develop vaccines that are more heat-stable and immunogenic.
