Présentation de l'éditeur

In the aftermath of the Asian financial crisis of 1997 and the subsequent major corporate scandals since 2000, research on accounting in Asia has focussed primarily on issues of corporate governance. As Asian economies contemplate the convergence of reporting standards by 2011/12, corporate governance reforms are also underway. However, debate is growing as to whether true convergence can be achieved. The papers in this timely volume are interlinked by the central concern of corporate governance and financial reporting quality. The volume advances the debate on implementation issues and theoretical considerations, with studies focusing on a variety of Asian countries including Bangladesh, China, Jordan, Malaysia and Taiwan. Articles include such topics as: fraudulent financial reporting; emerging market economies; audit report timeliness; the association between corporate governance and audit quality; fair value accounting usefulness and implementation obstacles; and the newly-revised code of ethics for professional accountants in China. Mirroring these concerns, readers will find the papers insightful in terms of theoretical development, practices and policy implications.
