Description Advances in Accounting was founded nearly twenty years ago to provide a forum for discourse among and between academic and practicing
accountants on issues of significance to the future of the discipline. Emphasis was placed on original commentary and creative research
that would substantively advance our understanding of behavioral and financial markets phenomena relevant to real world choices. Technology
and global competition have brought tremendous changes in business and accounting over the last two decades. A wide array of unsolved
questions continue to challenge a profession that defies definition and which is continuously reinventing itself. This volume of Advances
in Accounting focuses on questions of the 'value added' by accounting information and audit services. Articles explore the important
task of valuing corporate entities. What information contributes to firm valuation (forecasts and disclosures, auditor changes and audit
opinions, financial and non-financial information) and how? Other articles investigate challenges currently faced by auditors (client
selection, pricing behavior, and audit quality). Finally contributors address the human side of career opportunities in the discipline
and whether adequate human resources are flowing into the profession today. The theme of this collective effort is new solutions for
new problems.
