A comparison between such a signaling mechanism and a "full fair value disclosure" is firstly carried out, highlighting variables affecting the efficiency and the effectiveness of both information strategies. Then, recovering the traditional distinction between "protective disclosure" (hard information) and "informative disclosure" (soft information), this paper demonstrates how the former could significantly increase the positive effects associated to an employment of an independent valuer, reaching some conclusions useful to the standard setting process.展开更多

However, since they are traditionally dependent on observers and their reports that are likely biased, the procedures probably effectuate discords among the calling-teaching professionals. An evaluation procedure that can ascertain fairness in the decisions about teacher retentions, terminations, promotions, and sanctions can capture the accordance of all teachers and teacher facilitators. This paper identifies the possibility of such an evaluation system that is built upon the existing value-added methods. Drawing upon the observations and recommendations by Chetty, Friedman, and Rockoff (2012) on value-added methods of evaluation, and considering the uniqueness of ELTs (English Language Teachers) as it was observed by Borg (2006) and Lee (2010), this paper describes the application of the value-added evaluation method, in gauging the quality of ELTs. The paper further explicates the vantages and conformities embodied in the procedure that could boost up the morale of ELTs as independent professionals of a creative art, and help them perform to their fullest potential展开更多

It should be very optimistic from the scope of professional employment, but the situation is not so good and exists contradiction between supply and demand of accounting talents. There are reasons for the community and the employing unit, as well as for the education and accounting graduates themselves, with the development of economy, the financial shared service mode is more and more accepted by the enterprise, because can reduce the cost and improving efficiency,, so in this trend, accounting personnel how to achieve successful employment, this paper analyzes from the society, colleges and universities, accounting personnel itself in all aspects, in order to lead the parties to share the trend, how to use the resources to promote the smooth employment of accounting personnel, accounting personnel and the employer can provide relevant recommendations.展开更多
