Accounting quality under IFRS during stressed volatility: an examination of UK banks

This paper examines whether accounting quality is maintained for UK banks that report under the IFRS accounting standards during times of stressed market price volatility. We find that the UK banks’ accounting quality, measured from 1992 to 2008 using the relationship between total shareholders’ equity and market price, experienced a significant decrease during the high levels of market price volatility in 2008. This paper contributes to research that examines the IFRS accounting standards and to the examination of accounting quality in banks during periods of stressed volatility. Furthermore, this study concludes by calling for the examination of methods and processes to mitigate risks that impact on accounting quality

Uniqueness and value-sharing of meromorphic functions

Weighted sharing and uniqueness of meromorphic functions.

. In this paper, we study with a weighted sharing method the uniqueness problemof [fnP(f )](k)and [gnP(g )](k) sharing one value and obtain some results which extend and improve the results due to Hong-Yan Xu and Ting-Bin Cao

The employability prospects of graduates in event management: Using data from job advertisements

As the higher education environment becomes increasingly competitive, prospective students are more likely to compare graduate employability prospects of different universities and different courses. Consequently, the viability of courses is being increasingly challenged with market viability based predominately on student demand, which is often based on their perceptions of workplace requirements. Event management has emerged to become a key sector of the Australian tourism industry and this has given some impetus to the need for tertiary educated event managers and for an evaluation of educational curriculum. To provide an indication of current employer requirements, a nationwide study of web-based job advertisements is being currently conducted. This paper reports the results from a content analysis of 105 job advertisements. The results reveal the range of industries that require event management specialists or skills, and a series of required skills and key attributes of event managers. The results of this study establish a platform from which to develop a classification of event management skills required by the industry. More importantly however, it can be used as the basis for curriculum evaluation and training needs, and create a better understanding and compatibility between event management education and industry practice
