International Journal of Accounting and Finance (IJAF), Vol. 2, No. 2, 2010

Abstract: Due to increasing globalisation, accounting practices and individual investment decisions are no longer constrained by national borders. However, we believe individual practices and decisions are constrained by societal culture due to its impact on the development and setting of national accounting standards, the application of those standards by local businesses to create information and investors' interpretation of information provided by local businesses. We propose a framework to examine these effects and suggest future research directions.
