  • Background: The elevated risk of occupational infection such as tuberculosis among health workers in many countries raises the question of whether the quality of occupational health and safety (OHS) and infection prevention and control (IPC) can be improved by auditing. The objectives of this study were to measure (1) audited compliance of primary health-care facilities in South Africa with national standards for OHS and IPC, (2) change in compliance at reaudit three years after baseline, and (3) the inter-rater reliability of the audit. Methods: The study analyzed audits of 60 primary health-care facilities in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Baseline external audits in the time period 2011-2012 were compared with follow-up internal audits in 2014-2015. Audits at 25 facilities that had both internal and external audits conducted in 2014/2015 were used to measure reliability. Results: At baseline, 25% of 60 facilities were "noncompliant" (audit score<50%), 48% "conditionally compliant" (score >50 < 80%), and only 27% "compliant" (score >80%). Overall, there was no significant improvement in compliance three years after baseline. Percentage agreement on specific items between internal and external audits ranged from 28% to 92% and kappa from -0.8 to 0.41 (poor to moderate). Conclusion: Low baseline compliance with OHS-IPC measures and lack of improvement over three years reflect the difficulties of quality improvement in these domains. Low inter-rater reliability of the audit instrument undermines the audit process. Evidence-based investment of effort is required if repeat auditing is to contribute to occupational risk reduction for health workers.

  • 국내 공공기관에서 사업비가 5억원 이상인정보시스템 구축사업은 정보시스템 감리대상이고 정보시스템 감리원은 감리기준에 따라 감리를 실시하여야 한다. 최근 금융산업을 넘어 제조, 헬스케어, 유통, 공공 부문 등 다양한 분야에 블록체인 기술이 적용되면서 블록체인 기술을 적용한 시스템 개발이 늘고 있다. 공공기관과 기업에서는 블록체인 기술을 적용하기 위해 프라이빗 블록체인인 하이퍼레저 패브릭을 사용이 증가 추세에 있다. 그러나, 새롭게 부상하고 있는 블록체인기반 시스템을 기존의 감리점검항목으로 감리를 수행하기에는 충분하지 않아 각 감리원들이 검증되지 않은 점검항목을 개별적으로 만들어 사용하고 있다. 따라서 블록체인을 적용한 시스템을 감리할때 검증된 감리점검 항목이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 델파이 프로세스를 커스터마이징하여 블록체인 기술을 활용한 시스템 개발사업에 적합한 점검항목을 도출하고, 정보시스템 감리원의 설문조사를 통해 도출된 점검항목의 적정성을 검증받았다. 이번 연구는 정보시스템 감리원의 감리 수행에 직접적인 도움이 될 것이며, 블록체인 기반 시스템을 통해 서비스를 제공하는 사업자와 주관사도 시스템의 품질 향상에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

  • Financial fraud undermines the sustainable development of financial markets. Financial statements can be regarded as the key source of information to obtain the operating conditions of listed companies. Current research focuses more on mining financial digital data instead of looking into text data. However, text data can reveal emotional information, which is an important basis for detecting financial fraud. The audit opinion of the financial statement is especially the fair opinion of a certified public accountant on the quality of enterprise financial reports. Therefore, this research was carried out by using the data features of 4,153 listed companies' financial annual reports and audits of text opinions in the past six years, and the paper puts forward a financial fraud detection model integrating audit opinions. First, the financial data index database and audit opinion text database were built. Second, digitized audit opinions with deep learning Bert model was employed. Finally, both the extracted audit numerical characteristics and the financial numerical indicators were used as the training data of the LightGBM model. What is worth paying attention to is that the imbalanced distribution of sample labels is also one of the focuses of financial fraud research. To solve this problem, data enhancement and Focal Loss feature learning functions were used in data processing and model training respectively. The experimental results show that compared with the conventional financial fraud detection model, the performance of the proposed model is improved greatly, with Area Under the Curve (AUC) and Accuracy reaching 81.42% and 78.15%, respectively.

  • 이연법인세자산(부채)은 과세소득과 회계이익 간의 일시적차이를 재무제표에 반영한 것이므로 재량적 발생액의 대용치라는 정보유용성을 가질 수 있다. 또한 이연법인세자산의 실현가능성 검토는 이익조정의 수단으로 이용될 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 이연법인자산에 초점을 두고 이연법인세자산은 수정 Jones모형(Dechow et al. 1995)으로 측정된 재량적 발생액과 일반적으로 어떤 관계를 보이며, 이러한 관계에 감사품질은 어떤 영향을 미치는지 검증하였다. 이 검증을 위한 표본에는 이연법인세자산에 대한 세율변동효과와 측정의 신뢰성을 통제하기 위하여 2009년부터 2010년까지 비금융업을 대상으로 최종 2,670개 기업이 선정되었다. 실증분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전체표본을 대상으로 분석한 경우 이연법인세자산은 일반적으로 재량적 발생액과 부(-)의 관계를 나타냈지만 감사품질이 높은 경우에는 유의한 관계를 보이지 않았다. 둘째, 음(-)의 재량적 발생액을 보이는 1,379개 표본을 대상으로 분석한 경우 이연법인세자산과 재량적 발생액은 유의한 관계를 보이지 않았지만 감사품질이 높은 경우에는 부(-)의 관계를 나타냈다. 이러한 결과는 음(-)의 재량적 발생액을 보이는 경우에는 높은 감사품질이 이연법인세자산을 이용한 이익조정행태를 제한하여 이연 법인세자산은 재량적 발생액을 탐지하는데 유용할 수 있음을 시사한다. 따라서 본 연구는 선행연구에서 개별 주제로 다루었던 이연법인세자산의 이익조정탐지와 이익조정수단이라는 상반된 관련성을 병합 접근하여 일반적인 관련성을 확인하고, 감사품질이 이연법인세자산의 재량적 발생액에 대한 정보유용성에 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 점을 제시하였다는데 의의가 있다.

  • Background: The Quality Audit (BQA) program of the Breast Surgeons of Australia and New Zealand (NZ) collects data on early female breast cancer and its treatment. BQA data covered approximately half all early breast cancers diagnosed in NZ during roll-out of the BQA program in 1998-2010. Coverage increased progressively to about 80% by 2008. This is the biggest NZ breast cancer database outside the NZ Cancer Registry and it includes cancer and clinical management data not collected by the Registry. We used these BQA data to compare socio-demographic and cancer characteristics and survivals by ethnicity. Materials and Methods: BQA data for 1998-2010 diagnoses were linked to NZ death records using the National Health Index (NHI) for linking. Live cases were followed up to December $31^{st}$ 2010. Socio-demographic and invasive cancer characteristics and disease-specific survivals were compared by ethnicity. Results: Five-year survivals were 87% for Maori, 84% for Pacific, 91% for other NZ cases and 90% overall. This compared with the 86% survival reported for all female breast cases covered by the NZ Cancer Registry which also included more advanced stages. Patterns of survival by clinical risk factors accorded with patterns expected from the scientific literature. Compared with Other cases, Maori and Pacific women were younger, came from more deprived areas, and had larger cancers with more ductal and fewer lobular histology types. Their cancers were also less likely to have a triple negative phenotype. More of the Pacific women had vascular invasion. Maori women were more likely to reside in areas more remote from regional cancer centres, whereas Pacific women generally lived closer to these centres than Other NZ cases. Conclusions: NZ BQA data indicate previously unreported differences in breast cancer biology by ethnicity. Maori and Pacific women had reduced breast cancer survival compared with Other NZ women, after adjusting for socio-demographic and cancer characteristics. The potential contributions to survival differences of variations in service access, timeliness and quality of care, need to be examined, along with effects of comorbidity and biological factors.

  • The aim of this paper is to investigate the level of intellectual capital disclosure (ICD) in commercial banks listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange. This paper also observed the effects of ICD and corporate governance mechanism on market value. This study uses content analysis techniques to measure ICD. The paper provides a novel approach to measure the ICD quality in developing countries using a four-numerical coding system. Secondary data were obtained from the financial statements and annual reports of the banks for the period 2011-2014. The data from 31 banks were analyzed using ordinary least square regression. The study reports that the quality of intellectual capital disclosure in Indonesian commercial banks increase steadily. Narrative disclosure dominates the report of intellectual capital in Indonesian banks. The results indicate that the size of audit committee, frequency of audit committee meeting, and intellectual capital disclosure affect positively the market value. Overall, the results indicate intellectual capital disclosure is associated with the market capitalization; these findings indicate that the ICD is a consideration in a stock investment decision. While regulations in Indonesia regarding intellectual capital reporting are not conclusive yet, the information needs of stakeholders have encouraged companies to expand voluntary disclosure.

  • The firms with OHSAS (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) registration should be audited every six months and they have to be reregistered every three years by a third party. In our article audit data were collected from the audit processes of fifty four firms that OHSAS 18001:2007 was implemented and audited by LRQA (Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance). Fifty four firms are largely classified as four categories: civil engineering and construction industry, metal and heavy industry, chemical industry, and other industries including electric, electronic, food, and services. Especially the minor conformity data are analyzed by statistical methods to find out the relationship between four categories of 54 firms and the average number of minor nonconformities. The most frequently appeared minor nonconformities among sub-requirements of OHSAS 18001:2007 are investigated and the reasons for minor nonconformities are specifically explained. The average number of minor nonconformities of firms before and after OHSAS 18001:2007 registration are compared to understand the maturity of OHSAS implementation. Some comments and suggestions are provided for OHSAS to be effectively implemented to the firms if revision is necessary.
