In this paper, the authors expand on this topic and address the value of accounting accreditation from the perspective of the market it serves, whether accounting accreditation has diminished in value because of the quality of the programs being accredited, and whether accounting accreditation is an idea that has run its course. keywords: aacsb; accounting; accreditation; programs; schools; tier cache: abr-100.pdf plain text: abr-100.txt item: #3 of 143 id: abr-101 author: Holt, Paul title: Earnings Quality As Measured By Predictability of Reported Earnings date: 2013 words: 2620 flesch: 61 summary: A surprise was that the second prior year’s eps was a slightly better predictor of the current year’s eps than the immediate prior year.

Murray and Hwang (2011) postulated that social business would be facilitated by the L3C. Tyler (2010) proposed a framework for governance, fiduciary duties to resolve the problem of solving two masters, profits and social missions and supported the L3C. Finally, Kleinberger (2010) in his Delaware Law Review took the position that attracting foundation investments though a tranching strategy was “flatly wrong” and would not happen in a meaningful way. These trends are gaining traction as businesses focus more on corporate social responsibility. keywords: benefit; business; certified; compact; companies; company; corporate; corporations; global; good; journal; l3c; new; profit; responsibility cache: abr-173.pdf plain text: abr-173.txt item: #35 of 143 id: abr-181 author: Martinson, Brian title: First Time Online Submission Instructions date: 2018 words: 22 flesch: -437 summary: Be!sure!to!complete!all!areas!of!the!forms!(including!coLauthors,!added!with!the!ADD!AUTHOR! button)!and!use!normal!capitalization!and!punctuation!for!names,!titles,!affiliations,!abstracts,! etc.! !
