Full textAbstract This is a work with focus on the body, the body in our reality and how it moves compared to how it looks and moves in animation and film. An examination which have been done, focusing on bigger companies and how they have used the body in their animations and films. It also compares these companies and how they used the body to create feelings, expressions and how they have used movement. This will lead to a design with the body in focus consisting of some animations and video clips. Words like matter matters (Barad. 2007) and mimesis (Olofsson. Olsson. Sörbom. u.å) to see what details that make a difference, importance and to mimic what the eye sees of the body in reality. With help of using analysing methods to review films to see what the creators used of the body to later on use it to advantage in our own design. With some help from methods that tries out and compare animations and filmed materials, putting them together, beside each other and on top on each other. How words have helped us to create what we have created and their meaning of it all. An ending part that discuss and summarize what the examination have come to and what the design turned into. What the research meant during the examination and what has been used and not been used. Keywords: Accountability, mimesis, situated knowledge, matter matters.

A amostra construída para este estudo inclui 257 sectores da indústria transformadora. Adoptamos os modelos Probit e o fenómeno dependente nos mesmos é a rentabilidade financeira (medida alternadamente pelo rácio de rentabilidade e pelo retorno dos activos). A associação entre a estrutura de mercado (medida pelo HHI, quota de mercado e CR4) e a rentabilidade financeira é o centro desta análise. As conclusões mais importantes são: a correlação positiva entre a rentabilidade financeira medida pelo retorno dos activos e pelo rácio de rentabilidade e as medidas de concentração medidas pelo Herfindahl-Hirschman index e pela quota de mercado; Factores como a publicidade e impostos não aparentam ter um impacto na rentabilidade financeira das empresas; quando a quota de mercado e o HHI são incluídos no mesmo modelo, o HHItorna-se inconclusivo e não significante.
The present investigation aims to study the impact of market structure in the financial performance of Portuguese manufacturing sectors since 2004 till 2011. The sample build for this study includes 257 manufacturing sectors. Probit models are adopted and the dependent phenomena is financial performance (measure alternatively by profitability and Return on assets). Market structure (measured by HHI, Market Share and CR4) and financial performance association is the core of the analysis. The main conclusions are: positive association between financial performance measured by profitability and ROA and concentration measures measured by Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) and Market share; Factors as advertising and taxes do not appear to have an impact in financial performance of firms'; when market share and HHI are included in the same model the HHI gets inconclusive and non-significant.

Full textThe state of fire service substance-testing policy nationwide, and what it should be, is the subject of this project. This thesis analyzed 12 substance-testing policies from fire departments across the country. The project looked at the language fire departments were using to convey the intent, process, and consequences of their policy. Common themes emerged as each policy was examined. However, upon closer examination, more inconsistency was found than uniformity. Differences ranged from policy purposes to prevailing guidance to types of substances tested for, threshold levels, and employee treatment, with the greatest difference found in the terminology. As a result of the analysis, this thesis identifies best practices and required components of a standardized national substance-testing policy, and asserts that such a national model should be implemented.

Full textBackground Key Audit matters were introduced in Sweden in 2016 as a part of the expanded audit report with the purpose of being more informative and firm specific. Key audit matters are a section in the audit report where the auditor uses the professional judgement to disclose the most vital parts of the audit. Great Britain was one of the first countries to establish the expanded audit report in 2013. Debates and discussions in Sweden are occurring about whether Key Audit Matters are living up to its purpose of being firm specific or is there a risk that the new audit report will be standardized. Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate if a standardization of Key audit matters is occurring. Method In this study a deductive and eclectic approach. The study is also quantitative and uses archival data for the empirical data. The empirical data consists of data from two different years and two different countries. Conclusion The conclusion of this study is that there is no proof that there is a standardization occurring, but the study gives proof that there are differences in the degree of the standardization between Sweden and Great Britain

Full textThis dissertation consists of three stand-alone papers that investigate three consequences of corporate philanthropy, namely: (1) firms’ tax strategies, (2) firms’ reporting with regard to corporate philanthropy, and (3) the perceptions of firms’ financial reporting quality by an important gatekeeper: the auditor. The first chapter examines whether firms’ choices of prosocial activities reflect apparent consistency by studying the relation between corporate philanthropy and tax avoidance, and whether investors reward this consistency. I investigate two forms of tax strategies that differ in their degree of transparency: nonconforming tax avoidance (or tax aggressiveness) and conforming tax avoidance (Badertscher, et al., 2017). I find that corporate philanthropy is negatively related to nonconforming tax avoidance and positively related to conforming tax avoidance. This evidence suggests that philanthropic firms want to avoid paying taxes but do not want to be perceived as “tax avoiders” in order to display a consistent behavior. Next, I present evidence that the market value of inconsistent firms, i.e., those engaging simultaneously in corporate philanthropy and tax avoidance, is lower. Investors view firms’ inconsistency between corporate philanthropy and tax avoidance as a costly strategy that reduces firm value. Overall, the first chapter provides evidence on the tax implications of corporate philanthropy. The second chapter examines firm specific consequences of a regulatory event - the Companies Act 2006 - which represents a regime shift from mandatory to voluntary disclosure on corporate philanthropy (i.e., amounts and purposes of charitable donations) that affected UK firms in 2013. This chapter investigates whether and how the regulatory shift had an effect on corporate disclosure level and levels of CCDs. I assess the quality of the disclosure on corporate philanthropy by extracting scores from UK firms’ annual reports using a disclosure index that I developed. I find that firms disclose less information on their 2 CCDs and decrease their levels of CCDs following the mandatory-to-voluntary disclosure shift. This result indicates that firms do not credibly commit to their CSR-related disclosure, even though they were already initiated to the disclosure of their donations under the mandatory disclosure regime. Moreover, the disclosure shift has implications for the nonprofit sector that could be damaged through the reduction of firms’ donations. Overall, the second chapter provides evidence on the social reporting implications of corporate philanthropy. The third chapter of my dissertation analyzes overlaps between auditors and clients’ CCDs to the same nonprofit organizations. Firms, including the audit firms invest significantly in CCDs through direct giving or corporate foundations. This chapter examines the association between audit fees and audit quality (i.e., restatements and discretionary accruals) and overlaps in CCDs between auditors and clients. I posit that overlaps of auditors’ and clients’ donations capture social capital at the firm-level in an audit setting. In an exploratory analysis of the determinants of these overlaps, I find that firms with a corporate charitable foundation, a higher firm value or a bigger board size are more likely to overlap their CCDs. My main findings document that when clients and their audit firms make CCDs to the same nonprofits, audit fees and audit quality are higher. This suggests that (1) auditors exert more efforts and exercise their professional care in the performance of the audit with clients who share the same charitable values in order to protect their networks, and (2) charitable alignment between audit- and client-firms imply an effective communication, critical to the audit quality. Overall, the third chapter provides evidence on the financial reporting implications of corporate philanthropy

Full textEste estudo tem por objectivo investigar o papel do governo das sociedades na gestão fiscal. Isto é feito analisando 103 empresas espanholas cotadas através de quatro regressões diferentes, cada uma associada a um mecanismo de governo das sociedades distinto: (1) composição do conselho de administração, (2) características do CEO, (3) estrutura compensatória dos directores e (4) estrutura de detenção. Os resultados obtidos confirmam a literatura existente sobre este tema, demonstrando que o governo das sociedades tem, de facto, um impacto importante na gestão fiscal. As conclusões mostram também que os accionistas (e não apenas os gestores) podem estar interessados em reduzir a carga fiscal das empresas, uma vez que esta é uma oportunidade para aumentar o desempenho destas e ganhar mais dinheiro. Este estudo pode ajudar a compreender como os legisladores podem reduzir as situações em que os impostos são geridos de forma excessiva e ajudar a definir as políticas corporativas das empresas.
This paper investigates the role of corporate governance devices on tax management. This is done by analysing 103 Spanish listed firms through four different regressions models, each associated with a different corporate governance mechanism: (1) board of directors' composition, (2) CEO's characteristics, (3) directors' compensation structure and (4) ownership structure. Extending existing literature on this subject, the results support the view that corporate governance has, in fact, an important impact on tax management. The conclusions also support the idea that shareholders (and not only managers) may be interested in reducing the firms' tax burden, as it is an opportunity to improve its performance and earn more money. The present study may provide insights into how legislators may reduce situations where taxes are managed in an excessive way and help define the firms' corporate policies.
