Financial reporting practices are unlikely to converge globally, despite efforts to harmonize financial reporting standards, '' (adapted from Leuz, 2010).

Explain and critically discuss this statement in light of obstacles to uniform IFRS adoption across different countries and regions. Support your discussion with examples and insights from different academic studies.

''Financial reporting practices are unlikely to converge globally, despite efforts to harmonize financial reporting standards, '' (adapted from Leuz, 2010).

Using an academic database, research one current issue affecting an organization's management today. Using one paragraph, summarize the article. In a second paragraph, state your opinion. In a third paragraph, state the author's opinion or are they just stating facts. In a fourth paragraph, state what concept/principle/term the article illustrates.

Write, in your own words, a one-two paragraph summary on the Running Queries and Reports tutorials. Apply critical thinking and an academic writing style that demonstrates your understanding of the difference between a Microsoft Access database and an Excel spreadsheet by comparing the features of each and when they would be used as personal computer applications if applicable.

Discussing the ethical issues surrounding the overcrowding of our jails. Thoroughly discuss the topic including applicable solutions and their merit ethically. Search whether there is any pending legislation or applicable rules in your state regarding this matter. Assume you presenting your thoughts to a knowledgeable audience. The expectation is at least three academic sources.

In a study of high-achieving high school graduates, the authors of a report surveyed 837 high school graduates who were considered "academic superstars" and 436 graduates who were considered "solid performers." One question on the survey asked the distance from their home to the college they attended.

Assuming it is reasonable to regard these two samples as random samples of academic superstars and solid performers nationwide, use the accompanying data to determine if it is reasonable to conclude that the distribution of responses over the distance from home categories is not the same for academic superstars and solid performers. Use

α = 0.05.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

a). H₀: The proportions falling into the distance categories are not all the same for the two student groups.
H_a: The proportions falling into the distance categories are the same for the two student groups.

b). H₀: Student group and distance of college from home are not independent.
H_a: Student group and distance of college from home are independent.  

c). H₀: The proportions falling into the distance categories are the same for the two student groups.
H_a: The proportions falling into the distance categories are not all the same for the two student groups.

d). H₀: Student group and distance of college from home are independent.
H_a: Student group and distance of college from home are not independent.

Calculate the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
χ² =  

What is the P-value for the test? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
P-value =  

What can you conclude?

Do not reject H₀. There is not enough evidence to conclude that there is an association between student group and distance of college from home.

Reject H₀. There is convincing evidence to conclude that the proportions falling into the distance categories are not all the same for the two student groups.
