PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyse the relationship between control by the Maltese Central Government on Local Government and the format and basis of budgetary and financial reporting used. The study analyses the role of reporting in agency and fiscal federalism theories.Design/methodology/approachSemi-structured interviews were carried out with the controller (Central Government officials and the National Audit Office), while a survey was carried out with the controlled (Maltese Local Councils).FindingsThe type of reporting used by Maltese Local Councils may be undermining the control that Central Government seeks to exercise on overspending and debt levels. The Local Councils’ financial statements report accrual deficits and increasing liabilities. This overspending appears to slip through Parliamentary scrutiny because the latter approves cash allocations to Local Councils; the financial reports submitted to Parliament do not highlight overspending in cash terms; and the cash budget execution report that should be prepared by Local Councils is not given due importance.Originality/valueCentral Government should be consistent in its policy towards Local Government, which may require more elaborate reporting. This study highlights the importance of aligning the reporting required (top-down) and the reporting presented (bottom-up) – otherwise, control is at stake.

This study aims to improve the readability and understanding of financial statements through a conceptual framework of financial reporting and its derivatives. This study employed an analytical method as a conceptual framework, where financial accounting standards, financial reporting, and the results are described by the term "Lawang Sewu" as a reflection. The results show that the term 'Lawang Sewu' has similarities with accounting ethics in financial reporting, where "lawang" (Javanese) means door refers to "door of information" and "sewu" (Javanese) means a thousand or many refers to having many information and interest in accounting reporting performance. Accounting ethics in financial reporting also describes the strength of the 'Lawang Sewu' building which is not damaged despite its old age. Financial statements reflect the company's past, present and future values. Based on the conceptual framework of accounting, financial statements must meet two qualitative criteria: primary qualitative (relevant and in accordance with actual conditions) and secondary qualitative (comparable, testable, timely and understandable). Thus, financial reports are expected to be transparent so that users can use them appropriately.

The current study aims to gain insight on the effect of social responsibility disclosure on the quality of earnings in (42) Saudi Basic Materials companies listed in the Saudi Financial Market. The extrapolation approach has been used to achieve the goals of the study. Also, the descriptive analytical approach has been employed to analyze the content of the financial reports of the sample companies for the period (2015 – 2017) in order to determine the level of disclosure of social responsibility. The quality of earnings has been measured by using the Modified Jones Model. The most significant study findings show that 92.5% of the sample companies disclosed their social responsibility using descriptive disclosure methods. The study findings also show that there is a statistically significant relationship between disclosure of social responsibility and between the improvement of the quality of earnings in the Basic Materials sector due to the strong positive correlation between discretionary accounting accruals and disclosure of social responsibility. The study has also found that there is a statistically significant relationship between social responsibility and between the effectiveness of the accruals method in measuring the quality of earnings in the Saudi Basic Materials sector, where the accruals quality method proved to be efficient in measuring the quality of earnings. In view of the findings, the study recommends to actively promote the role of the organizations that regulate social responsibility in order to increase the level of social responsibility, and to promote the role of monitoring which will in turn improve the quality and level of earnings.
