Millennials Rising: The Next Great Generation

Plot interpretation is an interesting topic because the ability to interpret plots is a measure of scientific literacy and because plots themselves can be informative. Tufte (1983) observes that the popular media in the U.S. considers the scatterplot beyond the common reader. Noting that some elementary school curricula include Cartesian plots, and even box and whisker plots, there is hope that the statistical literacy movement will eventually force a well-justified reassessment.

Cybercrime, also called e-crime, costs publicly traded companies billions of dollars annually in stolen assets and lost business. Cybercrime can totally disrupt a company’s marketing activities. Further, when a company falls prey to cyber criminals, this may cause customers to worry about the security of their business transactions with the company. As a result, a company can lose future business if it is perceived to be vulnerable to cybercrime. Such vulnerability can lead to a decrease in the market value of the company, due to legitimate concerns of financial analysts, investors, and creditors. This study examines 10 case studies of publicly traded companies affected by cybercrime, and its impact on marketing activity and shareholder value. The study also describes some of the major types of cybercrime. Results indicate that costs of cybercrime go beyond stolen assets, lost business, and company reputation; cybercrime has a significant negative effect on shareholder value.

Case Studies of Cybercrime and its Impact on Marketing Activity and Shareholder Value

Increasing corporate accountability and regulatory pressure push internal auditors to develop new ways to enhance effectiveness and efficiency in their work. Once-a-year reviews are often insufficient. Consequently, continuous auditing is necessary to meet the needs of a firm's stakeholders. Continuous auditing is any of the methods used by auditors to perform an audit on a continuous basis. Continuous auditing tests transactions based on prescribed criteria, identifies anomalies, and is the responsibility of the auditor. This article addresses the potential impact of the current environment on continuous auditing and its stakeholders.

Continuous Auditing: An Effective Tool for Internal Auditors

Prior research has shown that a work environment that facilitates work-life balance not only benefits the personal lives of employees but also leads to better job performance and ethical decision-making. Allocation of time between career and personal life is an age-old challenge for working people. Work-life balance refers to the manner in which people distribute time between their jobs and other activities, such as family, personal pursuits, and community involvement. This study compares the work-life balance perspectives of current and future accountants. Three research questions are examined. The first relates to the importance accountants place on work-life balance. The second concerns how work-life balance perspectives of current practitioners compare to future accountants. The third considers how gender differences affect work-life balance perspectives. Data for analysis was obtained via a survey of current accounting practitioners and of future accountants (students near graduation). Findings indicate that both current and future accountants believe that a healthy work-life balance is connected to work satisfaction, work performance, and ethical decision-making.

How Work-Life Balance, Job Performance, and Ethics Connect: Perspectives of Current and Future Accountants

In 1494, the first book on double-entry accounting was published by Luca Pacioli. Since Pacioli was a Franciscan friar, he might be referred to simply as Friar Luca. While Friar Luca is regarded as the "Father of Accounting," he did not invent the system. Instead, he simply described a method used by merchants in Venice during the Italian Renaissance period. His system included most of the accounting cycle as we know it today. The first accounting book actually was one of five sections in Pacioli's mathematics book, titled Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalita (Everything About Arithmetic, Geometry and Proportions). This section on accounting served as the world's only accounting textbook until well into the 16th century. Accounting practitioners in public accounting, industry, and not-for-profit organizations, as well as investors, lending institutions, business firms, and all other users for financial information are indebted to Luca Pacioli for his monumental role in the development of accounting.
