Metodologia – A pesquisa consistiu em um questionário apresentado aos profissionais da contabilidade no qual, por meio de uma escala de 19 itens, buscou-se identificar se o estilo de liderança era focado em relacionamento, tarefa ou situacional. A mesma pergunta foi feita para os líderes e para os liderados. Procedeu-se ao teste de seis hipóteses de pesquisa comparando-se os resultados desses estilos entre os profissionais das regiões norte, centro-oeste e nordeste em relação aos da região sul e sudeste, para estabelecer se os estilos de liderança eram afetados pelas diferenças socioculturais dessas regiões. O mesmo procedimento foi realizado entre os profissionais das capitais em relação aos do interior e, por último, entre os profissionais do setor público em relação ao setor privado. Resultados – Em relação as respostas dos subordinados, (heteroavaliação), apenas a hipótese “a” foi confirmada, ou seja, os profissionais das regiões norte, centro-oeste e nordeste tem maior foco no Fator Relacionamento em relação aos profissionais das regiões sul e sudeste. As demais hipóteses não puderem ser confirmadas. Com relação as respostas dos líderes (autoavaliação), nenhuma das seis hipóteses de pesquisa puderam ser confirmadas. Limitações – Duas limitações foram observadas na pesquisa, a impossibilidade de correlacionar as respostas dos subordinados com as respostas dos líderes, posto que tal ensejaria a identificação dos respondentes, o que não era o objetivo e, também, o viés de desejabilidade social observado nas respostas dos líderes em relação àquelas dos subordinados. Contribuições Práticas – O resultado dessa análise poderá contribuir para a conhecimento de variáveis que podem afetar o desempenho comparativo entre profissionais líderes, bem como para fornecer subsídios para programas de treinamento e capacitação. Contribuições Sociais – O estudo poderá contribuir para o melhor conhecimento do estilo de liderança dos profissionais contábeis e o melhor aproveitamento de suas potencialidades pelas organizações. Originalidade – Outros estudos e pesquisas sobre questões relacionadas a liderança do profissional contábil já foram realizados porém, a análise comparativa feita com as variáveis socioculturais e setoriais descritas neste trabalho, pelo nosso conhecimento, é inédita. / Purpose - This study intends to identify the leadership styles of the Brazilian accounting professionals and to evaluate the sociocultural and setorial impacts in the modeling of these styles. Design/Methodology - The research consisted of a questionnaire presented to accounting professionals in which, through a 19-item scale, it was sought to identify if the style of leadership was focused on relationship, task or situational. The same question was asked for leaders and subordinates. Six research hypotheses were tested comparing the results of these styles among professionals from the north, center-west and northeast regions in relation to those in the south and southeast regions, to establish if leadership styles were affected by socio-cultural differences regions. The same procedure was performed among the professionals of the capitals in relation to the interior, and finally, among the public sector professionals in relation to the private sector. Findings - Regarding the subordinates' answers, only the "a" hypothesis was confirmed, that is, the professionals from the north, central-west and northeast regions have a greater focus on the Relationship Factor in relation to professionals in the South and Southeast regions. The other hypotheses cannot be confirmed. Regarding the leaders' responses (self-evaluation), none of the six research possibilities could be confirmed. Research Limitations- Two limitations were observed in the research, the impossibility of correlating subordinate responses with leaders' responses, since this would lead to the identification of respondents, which was not the objective and also the social desirability bias observed in the responses of the respondents. leaders in relation to those of subordinates. Practical Implications - The result of this analysis may contribute to the knowledge of variables that may affect the comparative performance among leading professionals, as well as to provide subsidies for training and capacity building programs Social Implications - The study may contribute to a better knowledge of the leadership style of the accounting professionals and the best use of their potential by the organizations. Originality - Other studies and research on issues related to the leadership of the accounting professional have already been carried out, but the comparative analysis done with the sociocultural and setorial variables described in this study, by our knowledge, is unprecedented.

These changes will certainly result in paradigm shifts, changes in skills and image in organizations, for accounting professionals. As buster for the new scenario, the Brazilian government has developed the Digital Bookkeeping Public System (SPED), whose main goal is to replace the accounting and fiscal procedures of the companies for digital controls in order to improve the management of the levy. In this context, the professional accounting should redirect its activities relying on what is most advanced in technology and act as an integrator of information. This study aimed to assess the impacts to obtain the skills of accounting after the project realization by SPED specialists. The methodology we used field survey, conducted with 17 project leaders SPED, and all accounting professionals. The survey shows that there is still a waste of time these professionals with the generation of tax and accounting reports, however there are expectations of reduction of the time with the evolution of the project SPED, and as well as providing greater availability of professional study and development of new skills. In addition, the research highlights possible changes to the image of the professional performing its actual function in the digital world, which is contributing to improving society as a whole / O mercado globalizado tem convidado os profissionais de diversas áreas a evoluir de forma idêntica à velocidade da tecnologia e da nova economia. Essas alterações certamente resultarão em mudanças de paradigma, alterações das competências e de imagem perante as organizações, para os profissionais da contabilidade. Como propulsor desse novo cenário, o Governo brasileiro desenvolveu o Sistema de Escrituração Digital (SPED), cujo principal objetivo é substituir os procedimentos contábeis e fiscais das empresas por controles digitais, com o intuito de aperfeiçoar a gestão da arrecadação. Nesse contexto, o profissional contábil deverá redirecionará suas atividades apoiando-se no que há de mais avançado em tecnologia e desempenhar o papel de integrador das informações. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os impactos gerados às competências dos profissionais contábeis após o projeto SPED, na percepção de especialistas da área. Como metodologia utilizou-se da pesquisa de campo, realizada com 17 líderes do projeto SPED, sendo todos profissionais da área contábil. A pesquisa evidencia que ainda há um dispêndio de tempo desses profissionais com a geração de informes fiscais e contábeis. No entanto, existem expectativas de redução desse tempo com a evolução do projeto SPED, assim como prover maior disponibilidade do profissional para estudo e desenvolvimento de novas competências. Além disso, a pesquisa salienta possíveis alterações na imagem do profissional exercendo a sua função real no mundo digital, que é contribuir para melhoria da sociedade como todo

Studies relating to recent curriculum changes implemented by SAICA and CIMA with an increased focus on pervasive skills are limited. The problem addressed in this study related to the challenge faced by ODL accounting education institutions to deliver practice-ready accounting graduates. This study explored accounting educators’ and students’ perception of whether pervasive skills can be developed effectively through the use of case studies in an ODL environment. The study aimed to determine whether ODL accounting departments should introduce a dedicated case study-based module as part of their curriculum. The perceived level at which case studies should be introduced, challenges and the benefits of case studies in light of their pervasive skills development potential were considered in an ODL environment. The study revealed that the case study-based approach is effective and that a staggered approach to introducing case studies in existing accounting-related modules tailored for different difficulty levels, would be appropriate. / Management Accounting / MPhil (Accounting Sciences)

Abstracts in English, Afrikaans and Zulu / Worldwide, students compete for a limited number of places at universities. By increasing the use of distance education, more students could have access to tertiary education. The problem addressed in this study related to the challenges faced by an ODL university to assess undergraduate modules in accounting sciences by way of technology-enhanced, non-venue-based alternative assessments, instead of the traditional venue-based examinations. The purpose of the current study was to develop an alternative assessment framework for ODL undergraduate accounting sciences modules as a possible solution to the assessment challenges faced by accounting graduates and universities in an ODL environment. The legitimacy of qualifications was considered by reviewing the identity verification of students and other ethical issues, as well as the influence on the accreditation by professional and other regulatory and governing bodies. Institutional and neo-institutional theories were used within the ODL context as foundational principles. Design-based research was used to develop two conceptual frameworks – one based on the theoretical elements and the other on non-venue-based alternative assessments in the ODL context. The two conceptual frameworks were evaluated using interviews conducted with ODL lecturers and members of professional accounting bodies. Thereafter, the data were analysed using thematic analysis. Triangulation was used as a final evaluation of the conceptual frameworks by analysing comments from students included in reports from an alternative assessment pilot study. The two conceptual frameworks were combined in one final framework. This final framework demonstrates how the institutional theory affects the institution and, specifically, internal issues. Due to the complexity of the ODL institution, external influences (such as technology) result in aspects of the neo-institutional theory becoming even more relevant to the current study. This complexity, together with the mimetic forces of technology and innovation, creates uncertainty. However, it became clear from the data analysis that coercive and normative forces result in ‘more certainty’. The alignment of these isomorphic forces resulted in legitimacy. Due to the importance of technology in the ODL environment, it became clear that technology should be anthropomorphically considered a stakeholder in the ODL institution. The inclusion of stakeholder theory created improved performance and the potential for innovation in order to ensure the legitimacy of qualifications. / Studente ding wêreldwyd mee vir 'n beperkte aantal plekke in universiteite. Indien die gebruik van afstandsonderrig uitgebrei word, kan meer studente toegang tot tersiêre onderwys kry. Die probleem waarop hierdie studie fokus is die uitdagings van 'n OAO-universiteit om voorgraadse modules in rekeningkundige wetenskappe te assesseer deur middel van tegnologies verbeterde, nie-lokaalgebaseerde alternatiewe assesserings in plaas van die tradisionele, lokaalgebaseerde eksamens. Die doel van die huidige studie was om 'n alternatiewe assesseringsraamwerk vir voorgraadse rekeningkundige wetenskapmodules in OAO te ontwikkel as 'n moontlike oplossing vir die assesseringsuitdagings van rekeningkundige gegradueerdes en universiteite in ’n OAO-omgewing. Die geldigheid van kwalifikasies is oorweeg deur 'n oorsig te doen oor die identiteitsverifiëring van studente en ander etiese aangeleenthede, asook die invloed op die akkreditasie deur professionele en ander regulatiewe beheerliggame. Institusionele en neo-institusionele teorieë is in die OAO-konteks as grondbeginsels gebruik. Ontwerpgebaseerde navorsing is gebruik om twee konseptuele raamwerke te ontwikkel – een gebaseer op die teoretiese elemente en die ander op nie-lokaalgebaseerde alternatiewe assesserings in die OAO-konteks. Die twee konseptuele raamwerke is geëvalueer aan die hand van onderhoude met OAO-dosente en lede van professionele rekeningkundige liggame. Hierna is die data deur middel van tematiese analise ontleed. Triangulasie is gebruik as 'n finale evaluering van die konseptuele raamwerke deur die kommentaar van studente wat in verslae van 'n alternatiewe assesseringsvoorstudie ingesluit is, te evalueer. Die twee konseptuele raamwerke is in een finale raamwerk gekombineer. Hierdie finale raamwerk demonstreer hoe die institusionele teorie die instelling en, spesifiek, interne aangeleenthede beïnvloed. As gevolg van die kompleksiteit van die OAO-instelling, veroorsaak eksterne invloede (soos tegnologie) dat die neo-institusionele teorie selfs meer relevant vir die huidige studie word. Hierdie kompleksiteit, tesame met die mimetiese magte van tegnologie en innovasie, skep onsekerheid. Dit is egter duidelik uit die data-analise dat dwang- en normatiewe magte ‘meer sekerheid’ veroorsaak. Die belyning van hierdie isomorfiese magte veroorsaak geldigheid. As gevolg van die belangrikheid van tegnologie in die OAO-omgewing, is dit duidelik dat tegnologie antropomorfies beskou moet word as 'n belanghebber in die OAO-instelling. Die insluiting van die belanghebbende teorie het verbeterde prestasie en die potensiaal vir innovasie tot gevolg gehad, om sodoende die geldigheid van kwalifikasies te verseker. / Emhlabeni wonke, abafundi bazabalazela ukuthola ithuba lokungena kwizindawo ezingamanyuvesi amancane ngenani. Ngokukhulisa izinga lokusetshenziswa kohlelo lokufunda ukude, abafundi abaningi bebangakwazi ukungena emazikweni ezemfundo aphakemeyo. Inkinga exazululwa kulolu cwaningo imayelana nezinselelo ezibhekene nenyuvesi yohlelo lwe-ODL ukuhlola amamojuli asesigabeni seziqu zokuqala kwisayensi ye-accounting ngendlela yoncedo lobuchwepheshe, ngezinye izinhlelo zokuhlola ezingenziwa endaweni eyodwa, kunokusebenzisa uhlelo olwejwayelekile lokuhlolwa okwenziwa endaweni eyodwaethize. Inhloso yocwaningo lwamanje kwaye kungukwakha esinye isakhiwo sokuhlola samamojuli esayensi ye-accounting yeziqu zokuqala, lokhu kwenziwa njengekhambi elingaxazulula izinselelo zokuhlola ezibhekene nabafundi besifundo se-accounting kanye namanyuvesi akusizinda sohlelo lwe-ODL. Udaba lokuba semthethweni kweziqu luye lwabhekwa ngokubuyekeza ukuqinisekiswa kwamagama abafundi kanye nezinye izindaba ezimayelana nemigomo yokuziphatha, kanye nomthelela phezu kokwamukelwa kwamaprofeshinali kanye nezinye izinhlaka eziqinisa umthetho kanye nezinye izinhlaka eziphetheyo. Amathiyori eziko kanye nalawo ohlelo olusha lwamaziko asetshenziswe ngaphakathi kwesizinda se-ODL njengemigomo eyisisekelo. Ucwaningo olususelwa kwidizayini lusetshenziswe ukwakha izinhlaka ezimbili zegama – olunye uhlaka lususelwe kwizinto zethiyori kanye nakwezinye izinhlelo zokuhlola ezingasuselwa ezindaweni ezimile ngaphakathi kwesizinda se-ODL. Izinhlaka ezimbili zezakhiwo ziye zahlolwa ngokusebenzisa izinhlolovo ezenziwa abafundisi be-ODL kanye namalungu wezinhlangano eziprofeshinali zesifundo se-accounting. Ngemuva kwalokho, idatha ihlaziywe ngokusebenzisa uhlelo lokuhlaziya isihloko. Unxantathu wezinhlolovo (triangulation) usetshenziswe njengohlelo lokugcina lokuhlola izakhiwo zegama ngokuhlaziya izimvo ezivela kubafundi ezixutshwe kwimibiko evela ohlelweni lokuhlolwa kwesivivinyo socwaningo.Lezi zakhiwo zamagama ezimbili zihlanganiswe kuhlaka olulodwa lokugcina. Lolu hlaka lwesakhiwo lukhombisa indlela umqondo weziko othinta ngayo iziko, ikakhulu, izinto ezingaphakathi. Ngenxa yengxubevange yeziko elinohlelo lwe-ODL, imithelela evela ngaphandle (enjengobuchwepheshe) idala izinto ezihambelana nomqondo omusha weziko oya ngokuya uhambisane nesifundo samanje socwaningo. Le ngxubevange indawonye nemimoya yobuchwepheshe kanye namaqhinga amasha, kuletha isimo esingenakuqinisekiswa. Yize kunjalo, kuya ngokucaca ukusukela ekuhlaziyweni kwedatha ukuthi imimoya ephoqayo kanye naleyo eyejwayelekile idala isimo esingaziwa. Ukuhambisana kwalawa mandla okudalwe yizinto ezisemthethweni. Ngenxa yokubaluleka kobuchwepheshe kwisizinda se-ODL, kuye kwacaca ukuthi ubuchwepheshe kufanele buthathelwe phezulu njengesidlalindima kwiziko le-ODL. Ukufakwa komqondo womdlalindima kudale umsebenzi omuhle othuthukile kanye namathuba okuveza amaqhinga amasha ukuze kuqinisekiswe isimo sokuqinisekisa iziqu ukuthi zibe semthethweni. / College of Accounting Sciences / D.
