The existence of security standards is an important factor that helps organisations to evaluate and manage security by providing guidelines and best practices that enable them to follow a standard and systematic way to protect their e-Business activities. However, the suitability of available information security standards for Small and Medium e-Business Enterprises (e-SME) is worth further investigation. In this paper three major security standards including Common Criteria, System Security Engineering-Capability and Maturity Model and ISO/IEC 27001 were analysed. Accordingly, several challenges associated with these standards that may render them difficult to be implemented in e-SME have been identified.展开更多

Mailed questionnaires were sent to SMEs' owner and loan officers in Malaysia. The findings show that the SMEs' owners and loan officers have substantially similar views on the usefulness of the accounting information. In addition, this study has found that the academic qualification and time spent in reading the financial statement have significant relationships with the SMEs' owners' perceptions on the usefulness of the SMEs' accounting information, whereas types of business organization, awareness about financial reporting regulation, and level of understanding of the financial statements do not. On the other hand, for the loan officers, accouting expertise, year in position, and awareness about the financial reporting regulation do not have a significant relationship with the loan officers' perceptions on the usefulness of the SMEs' accounting information. Meanwhile, experience in assessing SMEs' financial statements has a significantly negative relationship with the loan officers' perceptions on the usefulness of the SMEs' accounting information. The results of this study may enable the SMEs' managers to realize the informational needs of the users of their financial statements.展开更多
