This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -One of the observed phenomena in the current highly competitive business environment is the growing complexity of business models and their operations. Consequently, external users of corporate financial statements are increasingly relying on external auditors to assure them that the financial information disclosed in corporate financial statements is reliable. However, external users of financial statements may have a different understanding of the nature, limitations, assurance level, and responsibility of auditors which is called Audit Expectation Gap. In the wake of the financial crisis, investors are particularly angry that audit reports do nothing to forewarn investors when a company is in dire financial straits. While auditors most certainly did not cause the financial crisis, some people have legitimately questioned whether audits adequately served investors' needs in the months and years before and during the crisis, (James Doty Chairman of PCAOB, 2011). In current book, audit expectation gap, its different definitions, potential reasons, the factors that may influence it and different ways to mitigate it, are discussed. 60 pp. Englisch.

If this dishonesty is carried into the workplace, this will be especially problematic for the accounting profession by endangering the economic success of businesses & resulting in potential legal consequences. The very credibility of the profession could be at stake. The definition of cheating needs to be uniformly clarified. A discrepancy exists between students & faculty perceptions on cheating. Professors must clearly define what cheating is in their syllabi & lectures, as well as set forth policies & penalties that will be enforced against cheating. Technology has given rise to new ways to cheat, faculty must also use it to combat cheating in all types of courses. To deter cheating, professors must rigorously enforce existing university standards. The complexity of reporting & difficulty of proving cheating has led to the failure of some faculty to penalize cheaters. The key to begin solving this problem is instilling fear that the chance of being caught is high. Business programs need to increase their emphasis on ethics education. The implication here is that past behavior predicts future actions! 56 pp. Englisch.

Development in philosophy over last decades has made little impact on educational research. From philosopher s point of view, it is tempting to say that educational researchers have simply not tried to understand what the philosophers have been saying. Most of the researches carried out in this area have adopted the historical, documentary and descriptive methodology which, in fact, should not be considered as proper methodologies for the study of philosophical data. The lack of appropriate methodology has caused persistence of many ambiguities and confusions in the field of educational concepts and practices. This calls for ascertaining a theoretical model of research for a reliable study in the field of educational philosophy.The present book has taken up an approach which purports to apply an analytical method to determine a theoretical model proper to a philosophical research. A particular type of the methodology of content analysis is presented with its why, what and how. 80 pp. Englisch.
