본 연구는 사회기반 시설과 관련된 우리나라 국가회계기준을 살펴보고, 자산관리관점에서 회계정보가 활용되기 위해서는 어떠한 개선노력이 필요한지 논의하고자 한다. 이를 위하여, 우리나라보다 먼저 사회기반 시설에 대하여 자산관리를 도입한 미국, 호주, 뉴질랜드의 회계기준을 검토하고, 우리나라 지방자치단체 중에 하나인 A시의 사회기반 시설관련 회계정보에 대하여 살펴보았다. 우리나라는 사회기반 시설을 유형자산의 하나로 보고 있으며, 회계처리기준도 유사하다. 다만, 지속적인 유지 관리로 자산의 용역잠재력이 유지될 수 있는 경우에는 감가상각을 하지 않는 감가상각대체자산을 규정하고 있다. 이와 유사하게 미국은 수정접근법을, 호주와 뉴질랜드는 대체적인 감가상각방법을 도입하여 사회기반 시설의 특성을 잘 반영할 수 있는 회계처리기준을 적용하고 있다. 사회기반 시설은 노후화나 관리부실로 인한 위험이 사회적비용에 미치는 영향이 크기 때문에, 지속적이고 장기적인 자산관리접근법으로 관리하는 것이 필요하다. 이미 해외 여러 나라들이 사회기반시설에 대하여 예방적인 자산관리방법을 적용하고 있으며, 이에 대한 전문가들의 육성과 지원이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그러나, 우리나라는 발생주의 국가회계가 도입된 시기가 짧고 지방자치단체의 경우에는 지방회계처리지침에 준하여 회계처리하고 있어, 예방적 자산관리방법에 대한 재정비가 요구된다. 이는 자산관리의 토대가 되는 자산가치, 유지비, 관련 비용 등에 대한 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있게 한다. 더불어 해당자산의 용역잠재력의 소비행태를 잘 반영할 수 있는 대체적인 감가상각방법의 개발이 수행되어야 할 것이다.

A responsibility center is important for businesses in controlling their business activities. A responsibility center accounting includes a structured system for dividing responsibilities to help assess activities to improve economic efficiency for businesses. The article is based on exploratory factor analysis using the ordinary least squares to test the model of the factors affecting the application of responsibility center accounting in Vietnamese enterprises. The article uses data including 482 samples of 200 Vietnamese enterprises such as CFOs, chief accountants, and accountants. The sample was selected randomly to ensure objectivity in the period 2020-2021. The research results show that there are three factors that have a positive impact on the application of responsibility center accounting of Vietnamese enterprises, including the qualifications and capabilities of managers, decentralization in management, and evaluation tools of the responsibility center accounting. In order to contribute to improving efficiency in the application of the responsibility center accounting for Vietnamese enterprises, leaders of Vietnamese enterprises need to raise awareness and professional qualifications, pay attention to the management level in a transparent and appropriate way to delineate and diversify the tools used to facilitate and achieve business performance.

Using the Heckman two-step procedure, this study investigates the relationship between management accounting implementation and firm effectiveness. The research data for this study was acquired from 450 publicly traded companies in Vietnam; however, the final sample only includes 304 responses containing useful information. The reliability analysis was used to evaluate the acquired data to examine the qualities of constructs and the dimensions that make them up. Then, the Heckman two-step technique was performed to analyze the causal connection from the acceptance of management accounting to firm effectiveness allowing for the effect of environmental uncertainty and organizational characteristics on the likelihood of adopting management accounting. The empirical findings show that management accounting acceptance determines firm effectiveness; however, the research model on the relationship between management accounting adoption and firm effectiveness has a sample selection bias. The main conclusions of this study are that there is a difference in the effects of management accounting adoption on business effectiveness when sample selection bias is not taken into consideration. When potential sample selection bias is taken into account by integrating environmental uncertainty and organizational characteristics in the research model, the effect of adopting management accounting on company effectiveness becomes minor.

Purpose - This study investigates the effect of auditor change on client firm's accounting (financial statement) comparability. Design/methodology/approach - The comparability of accounting information is measured by the difference in accruals between the two firms. Additionally, the study uses earnings-stock return relationship as another proxy of accounting comparability. In particular, the paper examines whether there is a systematic difference between initial audit years and the other years with respect to the client firm's accounting comparability. Moreover, current study tests how changes in auditor size or industry expertise before and after the switch of auditors affect the accounting comparability. Findings - The results show that the level of accounting comparability is lower in the year of auditor change than in the other years. Furthermore, this lower level of comparability is derived by the observations that switch their auditors from non-Big4 to non-Big4 or from non-specialist to non-specialist. These results are consistent when accounting comparability is measured by different proxies. Research implications or Originality - The findings of this study provide important policy implications for the regulations related with auditor selection.

This paper explores the barriers to derivative accounting disclosures in Vietnamese companies and ranks their relative importance for effective and efficient remedies. The Delphi technique was applied to get agreement of panel of experts on the measurement of factors hindering disclosure. Unstructured questionnaires were first sent to twelve experts who had both practical experience and academic knowledge in the field to get ideas on the obstructions to derivatives disclosure. The structured questionnaire was designed to get their agreement on barriers to derivative accounting disclosures. The data analysis with mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and quartile has been implemented to ensure the unanimity. Market-related factors, legislation, accountants' attributes, managers' attributes, information technology and communication, and on-site training were the six major obstacles agreed upon by the experts during their in-depth interviews. Then, these factors were ranked by applying the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The findings confirmed the priority of information technology and communication, which held the greatest weight. Legislation ranked second, followed by market-related factors and on-site training, which explained the impediments to derivatives disclosure. Managers' and accountants' attributes had the least contribution to the barriers to derivative disclosures. The results have important implications for actions to enhance corporate derivative disclosures in Vietnam.

Information is an essential factor leading the rapid progress which is one of the distinguished characteristics in modem society. As more information is required and as more is supplied by individuals, governmental units, businesses, and educational institutions, the greater will be the requirement for efficient methods of communication. One possibility for improving the information dissemination process is to use computers. The capabilities of such machine are beginning to be used in the process of Information storage, retrieval and dissemination. An important problems, that must be carefully examined is whether one technique for information retrieval is better for worse than another. This paper examines problem of how to evaluate an information retrieval system. One specific approach is a cost accounting model for use in studying how to minimize the cost of operating a mechanized retrieval system. Through the use of cost analysis, the model provides a method for comparative evaluation between systems. The general cost accounting model of the literature retrieval system being designed by this study are given below. 1. The total cost accounting model of the literature retrieval system. The total cost of the literature retrieval system = (the cost per unit of user time X the amount of user time) + ( the cost per unit of system time X the amount of system time) 2. System cost accounting model system cost = (the pre-search system cost per unit of time X time) + (the search system cost per unit of time X time) + (the post search system cost per unit of time X time) 1) Pre-search system cost per unit of time = cost of channel per unit time + cost of central processing unit per unit time + cost of storage per unit time 2) Search system cost per unit of time = comparison cost + document representation cost. 3) Post-search system cost per unit of time. = cost of channel per unit time + cost of central processing unit per unit time + cost of storage per unit time 3. User cost accounting model Total user cost = [pre-search user cost per unit of time X (time + additional time) ] + [search user cost per unit of time X (time + additional time) ] + [post-search user cost per unit of time X (time + additional time) ].

This study aims to investigate the importance of earnings quality as a determinant of companies' performance. It provides some empirical evidences from an emerging market, specifically from the Jordanian market. This study developed an econometric model for the effect of earnings quality on the companies' performance using empirical evidence. The study employs a panel data analysis method by using a sample of all Jordanian industrial public shareholding companies listed on Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) during 2010-2018. The results reveal that Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Earnings Per Share (EPS) as proxies of company's performance are affected by the earnings quality. This provides the importance of positive earnings quality that eventually influences the companies' performance. The results of this study suggest that the higher control level on the managers' behavior and its outcome will have an effect on earnings quality, and thus the company's performance increases. As well as, high relevance of accounting information will improve earnings quality, and thus earnings quality with the interaction factors of the company's environment work on improving performance. As a conclusion, this study can work as a reference to assist standard setters, security analysts, regulators and other accounting-information users in appraising relation between the earnings quality and companies' performance.

정부회계제도가 현금주의 단식부기 방식의 예산회계에서 발생주의 복식부기 방식의 재무회계로 변화함에 따라 사회기반시설이 회계상의 자산으로 인식되면서 이에 따른 회계처리 방법 또한 기존 예산회계와는 다른 접근들이 이루어지고 있다. 특히 재무회계에서는 사회기반시설물의 자산 취득 후 사용하는 과정에서 발생하는 수선, 보수 등 유지관리에 관련된 지출을 자산으로 인식하는 자본적 지출과 비용으로 인식하는 경상적 지출로 구분하도록 하고 있으나, 이를 실무에 적용함에 있어 어려움이 있는 현실이며, 이로 인해 유지관리에 투입되는 지출을 대부분 비용(경상적 지출)으로 회계처리 되고 있는 실정이다. 이는 현재 재무회계 운영규정에서 제시하고 있는 구분 기준이 일반적인 모든 유형자산을 대상으로 하고 있어, 각각의 사회기반시설 물별 유지관리 특성을 반영하지 못하고 있기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하수관거시설을 대상으로 하여 유지관리시 투입되는 지출을 경상적 지출과 자본적 지출로 명확히 구분하여 회계처리 할 수 있도록 업무 분석을 통한 회계처리 기준을 정립하였으며, 실제 지방자치단체 사례에 적용하여 자산의 변화에 따른 재무정보의 변화를 비교 분석하였다. 사례 분석 결과 분석 대상인 S시의 하수관거 자산이 약 700억원 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 기존의 경상적 지출로 회계처리하던 수선유지비를 유지관리 업무 특성별로 자본적 지출과 경상적 지출로 구분함에 따라 자산의 가치가 증가하는 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 회계처리 방안의 적용을 통해 보다 명확한 하수관거 자산의 가치를 인식할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
