An examination of the auditing standards promulgation process involving SAS No. 69

Article Abstract:

A jurisdictional dispute between the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Government Accounting Standards Board has resulted to the development of Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69 (SAS 69) which proposed the hierarchy. Results from the analysis of the 73 letters received by the exposure draft for the SAS 69 contradict the belief that national accounting firms or other public accounting firms which have an employee serving on the Auditing Standards Board have the natural advantage over other accounting firms.

An analysis of settlement and merit under federal securities law: what will be the effect of the reform of 1995?

Article Abstract:

A game-theoretic model is formulated to analyze settlement incentives under two different legal regimes, namely the Securities Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, the correspondence between settlements and merits for these two regimes is evaluated. The model illustrates settlement negotiations in a game involving a plaintiff, who is an investor, and two defendants, who are a manager and an independent auditor.
