evaluation was based on CMO No.3,issued in 2007.Then,the subjects were mapped from the prescribed subjects in the BS Curriculum to the CPA Licensure Examination subjects to spot the

The factors affecting successful accounting information are two variables including accounting professional and accounting information system (AIS) competency. Population and sample of this research is the companies listed in the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). A questionnaire mail was used for collecting the data from chief accountant officer of the companies listed in the SET. The results indicate that accounting professional has a positive significant effect on successful accounting information in all dimensions including effective planning, efficient controlling, and promoting decision and communication. Moreover, AIS competency has a positive significant effect on successful accounting information only in dimension of promoting decision and communication. Overall, the results indicate that internal resource and capabilities including accounting professional and AIS competency are the primary factors that influence successful accounting information of Thai-listed companies. Theoretical and managerial contributions are explicitly provided. Conclusions, suggestions and directions for future research are also presented.展开更多

The effect of CMS design effectiveness on cost information quality is investigated. Moreover, the effect of cost information quality on business success is investigated. Furthermore, executive management support and cost accountant competency are assumed to become the antecedents of CMS design effectiveness. Electronics manufacturing businesses in Thailand are samples of the research. A mail survey procedure via the questionnaire was used for data collection from accounting controllers. The results indicate that CMS design effectiveness has a positive significant effect on cost information quality. Moreover, cost information quality also has a positive significant effect on business success. Additionally, both executive management support and cost accountant competency have a positive significant effect on CMS design effectiveness.展开更多

In particular, the changing world economy, decline of confidence in the welfare state, and adverse social trends have generated strong pressures for change in the organization and performance of education systems, and for nothing less than a paradigm shift in educational management. Together, these social forces have produced three interconnected imperatives for educational administrators: a productivity imperative, an accountability imperative, and a community imperative. Efforts to respond to these imperatives have generated tensions between competing paradigms in educational management. This article discusses the environmental pressures noted above, the resulting three imperatives, and the tensions flowing from these developments.展开更多
