Research Projects

Law, Corporate Governance, and Accounting – European Perspectives

Synopsis

This research monograph sets out a framework for the analysis of institutional environments, national corporate governance mechanisms, and IFRS adoption in European countries as the interconnected key tools of modern public corporations. It examines corporate governance practices and the lessons that can be learned from the harmonization of accounting principles in Europe while considering the institutional architecture of business environments there. This research monograph is a joint research project of the International Business, Economics and Accounting Collaborative Network (iBEACON).

Published by Rutledge 2012. 

The Financial Crisis Impact on Institutions and Accounting Practices Internationally


Synopsis


This monograph sets out a framework for the analysis of institutional environments and accounting practices around the world during the pre-crisis period, followed by an examination of the impact of the crisis. It scrutinizes the changing roles of debt and equity markets and banking; the shift in accounting practices and capital financing choices due to the economic downturn; and the lessons that can be obtained from the financial crisis around the world, while considering the institutional architecture of business environments there. This is especially timely work in the light of the latest rise of nationalistic sentiments in different economies around the world that seems to replace ongoing for a long time global market integration.
