This paper highlights some of those significant advances in the informationization of accounting information systems in China. As China has become a major industrial power in the international economy, further improvements for these information systems are critical to the continued successes of China. To additionally improve these systems, China can draw upon the systems from other world economic leaders. With its fully developed capital markets, the United States offers development experience for the external reporting components of a fully integrated information system. This paper discusses a typical integrated information system in the United States and addresses the regulatory milestones that were instrumental in the development of those external components of accounting information systems. Recommendations are presented for improving informationization of systems in China based on U.S. systems＇ responses to those milestones.展开更多

The author finds that when ROE of listed companies is in the small-profit zone or in the large-loss zone, the probabilities that they get modified audit opinions increase. But the right-offering zone, accrual accounts and accounts below the line have no significant effects on the modified audit opinions. Besides, the author also finds that the ratio of accounts receivable to asset, debt ratio, previous year＇s audit opinion and change of CPA firms have significant positive effects on the modified audit opinions, while the ratio of major business revenue and size of companies have no notable effects. Some other factors such as cash ratio, age of the listing and CPA firm ranking have no consistent and continuous effects.展开更多

To isolate noise effect, we prove that the loss of efficiency is zero if and only if the objective of the principal is a linear representation of the performance measures when the performance measures are noiseless. Using this result, several definitions of incongruity are given. Our definitions extend the single performance definition given in Feltham and Xie （1994） to multiple performance measures situation, and reconcile the conflict between the definition given in Datar et al. （2001） and that in Feltham and Xie （1994）. A numeric example is analyzed to show the way that the variances of measures and correlation coefficient between measures affect the utility of the principal.展开更多
