The effects of COVID-19 on conditional accounting conservatism in developing countries: evidence from Jordan

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to look at the impacts of COVID-19 on the Jordanian banking industry and how it affects the use of the conditional accounting conservatism concept. This study's sample consists of 16 banking institutions listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) and 64 observations from December 2018 to July 2021. A multiple linear regression model was used to evaluate the hypotheses, and the results show that COVID-19 had a substantial beneficial influence on conditional conservatism in the Jordanian banking industry over this period. Furthermore, when uncertainty grows, the function of conservatism becomes more significant, as more trustworthy accounting information allows investors to properly judge a company's past and future performance. The research suggests that the relevant authorities offer instructions for accountants that may be used in practice to attain the appropriate degree of accounting conservatism, under international standards and local laws and regulations. The current study is the first to be conducted in a developing nation, such as Jordan, and the findings may be useful to other developing nations.

Outcomes of laparoscopic choledochotomy using cholangioscopy via percutaneous-choledochal tube for the treatment of hepatolithiasis and choledocholithiasis: A preliminary Vietnamese study

“…This could prolong the procedure and cause more harm to the patients when put in general anesthesia for a long time. In addition, 16 patients (19.1%) had biliary strictures, which makes thorough cholechoscopy impossible, and it would be more reasonable to leave the T-tube and instruct the patient to self-flush the tube at home to gradually dilate the biliary tree as well as flush out residual stones [ 17 ]. In our patients, the T-tube was proven safe and feasible; only one patient had a biliary leak at the T-tube insertion site and was managed conservatively.…”

Insights into Corporate Tax Evasion and Its Ramifications on Overall Budget Revenue: An Empirical Study

“…Tax evasion has gained significant attention in recent years, particularly following the global financial crisis of 2008 (Chowdhury and Zuk, 2018) and the widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (Al- Qudah et al, 2022). This heightened focus has spurred efforts to combat tax evasion, driven by the urgent need for revenue and funding without resorting to introducing new taxes (Brownlee, 2016).…”
