“…Similarly, studies have found that presentation format affects recall (Metcalfe et al, 1981;Umanath et al, 1990;Clements and Wolfe, 1998;Umanath et al, 1998;Hodge et al, 2004;Nouri and Douglas Clinton, 2006). The results of such studies are consistent.…”

The recent increase in researching presentation format area is resulting by the increase in awareness on the importance of presentation format on decision-makers' behaviour. This paper presents a synthesis of prior research on presentation format in the accounting literature which could be used as bases and references for future research. It reviews and evaluates existing accounting literature that examines the linkages of presentation format on decision-makers' behaviour. Finally, future research opportunities in this area are made.

“…Another body of literature used presentation format as an instrument to examine decision-makers' search behaviour (Bouwman et al, 1987;Hunton and McEwen, 1997;Nouri and Douglas-Clinton, 2006). This group of studies generally found that search behaviour differs between professional decision-makers and non-professional decision-makers.…”

“…Adler, Whiting, and Wynn-Williams (2008) reply to the comments of Duff et al (2008) and defend their conclusion given their acknowledged limitations. Nouri and Clinton (2006) examine the interaction among student gender, media presentation, and concern for correct use of words, and how this interaction may affect accounting students' recall when English-as-a-second-language instructors are involved. Two sections of principles of accounting II are used, one as a control (n = 38) with black and white overhead presentations and chalkboards and the other as treatment (n = 36) with color, animated PowerPoint presentations.…”

New avenues of research to explain the rarity of females at the top of the accountancy profession

The rarity of females in leadership positions has been an important subject of study in economics research. The existing research on gender inequality has established that important variations exist across time and place and that these differences are partly attributable to the cultural differences regarding gender roles. The accounting research has also established that women are rarely promoted to the top of the Big Four audit firms (KPMG, Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Ernst & Young). However, the majority of research in accountancy has focused on Anglo-Saxon contexts (the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia) or country case studies without explicitly considering the role that cultural variations may play. Because the Big Four are present in more than 140 countries, we argue that the accountancy research that attempts to explain gender disparities at the top of these organizations would benefit from considering cultural factors. Such research, however, faces a key methodological challenge-specifically, the measurement of the cultural dimensions that relate to gender. To address this challenge, we propose an emerging approach that uses the gender distinctions in language to measure cultural attitudes toward gender roles. The idea that language may capture gender roles and even influence their formation and persistence has been the focus of emerging research in linguistics and economics. To support our proposition, we follow two steps. First, we review the accounting research by performing a systematic query on the bibliographic databases of the accounting articles that study gender and language. Second, we present data regarding the diversity of the global boards of the Big Four and the diversity of the linguistic environments in which they operate. We find that half of the countries where the Big Four are present exhibit a sex-based grammatical system for their most-spoken language, while the other half of the countries do not exhibit this system. Our findings suggest that the use of language as a measure of culture is a novel approach in accounting research. We conclude by emphasizing some potential directions for future research, namely, studying the linguistic determinants of the rarity of females at the top of audit firms and exploring accountancy practices in countries with linguistically diverse environments, such as Canada or Belgium, among others. This article is published as part of a collection on the role of women in management and the workplace.
