Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course comprises an overview on several issues of the enforcement of financial reporting in selected accounting regimes (i.e. Germany, Austria, UK and USA). It provides balanced coverage of the motivation and theoretically well-grounded demand for enforcement embedded in the different accounting systems, the description of various types of enforcement institutions, and international coordination activities. In addition, the course sheds some light on selected accounting issues which are frequently reviewed within the scope of enforcement investigations and thereby provides a link between accounting and enforcement systems.
Assessment and permitted materials
In order to obtain credits for the course, students need to successfully give a conclusive group presentation on accounting issues provided by the lecturer. The presentation will provide 100% of the final grade.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The course's objective is to provide students with a sound understanding of the mechanisms of enforcement, which is a highly topical issue both in theory and practice of financial reporting. Key assessment criteria for the presentation are structural quality, formal requirements, the problem solving approach as well as the results of problem solving.
Examination topics
The lecture will be supplemented by presentations from students who present research on selected enforcement aspects, e.g. empirical studies on the efficacy of enforcement.
