Haberleşmenin Gizliliğini İhlal Suçu Bakımından Whatsapp Kayıtlarının Boşanma Davasında Delil Olarak Kullanılması
Authors: Topuz Fatma Dilan
Published: March 2024

Evlilik birliğinin bozulması durumunda eşlerin birbirinden ayrılması ve boşanması ihtimali gündeme gelir. Boşanma davası sürecinde çeşitli boşanma sebeplerine bağlı olarak tarafların, kendi taleplerinin karşılanması amacıyla iddialarını ispatlamaya yönelik birçok delil getirmesi mümkündür. Bu süreçte, boşanma sebebini ispat amacıyla getirilen delillerin elde edilmesi çoğu zaman kolay olmamaktadır. Aldatıldığını düşünen ya da sadakat yükümlülüğüne aykırı davranıldığı kanaatinde olan eşin açtığı boşanma davalarında genellikle davacı taraf, delil elde etme yöntemleri açısından birtakım hukuka aykırı yöntemlere başvurmakta ve sonucunda ceza hukuku bakımından çeşitli suç isnatlarıyla karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. Esasen bu meselenin çözüme kavuşturulması gereken iki yönü vardır: Bunlardan ilki gizlice elde ettiği verileri veya mesaj kayıtlarını sunan eşin haberleşmenin gizliliğini ihlal suçundan sorumlu tutulup tutulamayacağı meselesidir. Diğer boyutu ise boşanma davasını gören hukuk mahkemesinde bu delillerin kullanılmasının hukuka aykırı olup olmadığı meselesidir. Bu makalenin konusu, boşanma davalarında elde edilen bu delillerin hem hukuka aykırı olup olmadığı hem de bu delillerin kullanılmasının ceza hukuku açısından suç oluşturup oluşturmadığıdır. Makalede ayrıca böyle bir durumda yasal bir düzenlemeye ihtiyaç olup olmadığı tartışılarak mevcut düzenlemeler ile pratikteki çözümlerin çelişip çelişmediği sorusu üzerinde durulacaktır. Çalışmamızda bu sorunlara çözüm üretilmeye çalışılmış ve konuya ilişkin yargı kararları değerlendirilmiştir.

Operationalising Conflict Sensitivity: The Pragmatics of Applied Research in Violence-Affected Contexts
Authors: McFee Erin , Roders Jonathan
Published: March 2024

This Research Brief explores the pragmatics of implementing conflict-sensitive applied research in violence-affected contexts, an approach integrating local context and stakeholders into research strategies to minimize negative impacts and enhance positive outcomes. Emphasizing the dynamic interplay of communicative, relational, and bureaucratic factors, the study delves into how these elements can either enable or impede the effectiveness of conflict-sensitive approaches on the ground. It illustrates this with examples of communicative barriers, the gatekeeping of access to target communities by local stakeholders and the importance of institutional relationships for project implementation. Moreover, it presents three separate strategies for collaboration across multiple organisations, a major institutional challenge for conflict-sensitive applied research.

Authors: Quiroga Vargas Sara Natalia
Published: March 2024

Sin Miedo. Formas de resistencia a la violencia de hoy, es una de las publicaciones de la filósofa estadounidense Judith Butler1 que explora cómo la violencia se ha adaptado a las lógicas de los nuevos tiempos, es decir, que la violencia es un acto o una acción relacionada con la naturaleza de la condición humana, y el apaciguarla presupone una lucha activa y continuada. Bajo esta idea es que Butler (2022) reabre el debate ya en un principio denso, sobre el individuo, el colectivo y el derecho, estos, serán elementos precarizantes o tal vez convergentes, que determinan a quien se le protege y a quien se le violenta la vida.

The fundamental philosophy of DevOps is centred on fostering seamless communication, collaboration, and integration among cross-functional teams, thereby accelerating the software development lifecycle.
            This abstract explores the core principles that underpin DevOps, emphasizing the importance of automation, continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous monitoring in achieving operational excellence. The iterative nature of DevOps enables organizations to respond swiftly to changing requirements, reduce time-to-market, and enhance the overall quality of software products.
          Furthermore, the abstract delves into the transformative impact of DevOps on organizational culture, emphasizing the shift from traditional siloed structures to a more holistic, collaborative environment. Case studies and industry examples will be presented to illustrate successful implementations of DevOps practices, showcasing measurable improvements in productivity, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
          Despite the numerous advantages, adopting DevOps is not without its challenges. The abstract will address common hurdles faced by organizations, including cultural resistance, toolchain integration complexities, and the need for skilled personnel. Strategies to overcome these challenges will be discussed, empowering organizations to navigate the DevOps journey effectively.
THE IMPACT OF THE SUPREME COURT’S OMNICARE DECISION ON AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT DISCLOSURE

Since the enactment of the Securities Act of 1933 and 1934, both the legal system and the accounting profession have struggled with the question, “to what extent accountants should rely on the statements of other accounting and non-accounting experts and when should they include parts of expert’s written statements in financial statement disclosures.” The Supreme Court considered this issue in Omnicare v. Laborers District Council Construction Industry Pension Fund (2015) (hereafter, Omnicare). The Omnicare decision refined the expectations of preparers and external auditors working on prospectuses for U.S. registrants. Omnicare considered disclosures in Omnicare’s registration statement regarding their opinions of their perceived compliance with federal regulations and laws. After Omnicare was charged with violations, the Court considered when opinions in registration statements could be treated as misstatements of material fact that could lead to accountant liability. The clarification to accounting disclosures is important for limiting liability for future registrants as well as for auditors who express an audit opinion on financial statements contained in registration statements. Omnicare created a new rational basis test which is precedential to future cases deciding whether an opinion statement included in a registration statement becomes a misstatement of fact or the lack of an opinion statement constitutes a material omission. Therefore, the rational basis test should be considered by accountants in preparing and auditing registration and post-registration statements, and this article contributes to the accounting and auditing literature by providing new suggested language for incorporation into SEC guidelines and/or PCAOB standards going forward.

Professional ethics are fundamental values for the accounting profession. These values have received increased attention in the last two decades as a result to numerous accounting scandals dating back to the early 2000’s. By understanding about factors that may influence attitudes towards business ethics, practitioners and educators can effectively integrate ethics training and education into the business world and classrooms, respectively. The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine work experience and other demographics that could affect attitudes towards business ethics (ATBE) of accounting students at a Northeastern public university in the United States. A survey questionnaire was conducted to assess ATBE, as well as significant differences in business philosophies using various statistical techniques to explore for significant differences among groups of accounting students who were grouped according to their span of work experience and other factors. Younger students, and students with less work experience were found to be more aligned with egoism theory than older students, and students with more work experience.
EMINENT DOMAIN: INTERPLAY OF ETHICS, LAW, ECONOMICS, GOVERNMENT FINANCES, AND PUBLIC POLICY

Published: March 2024

The 5th Amendment provides that no man “… be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” From this provision the issue of whether the government should be able to take private land and redistribute it to private industry has arisen. The Supreme Court case of Kelo v. City of New London declared the use of eminent domain to foster economic development through private transactions to be constitutional. In November 2011, Mississippi became the 44th state to limit government’s power on eminent domain. This study looks at the history of private property rights, ethical considerations, and some determinants of voters’ preference in limiting the government’s attempt to use eminent domain to confiscate private property. “The law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscrupulous who wish, without risk, to exploit the person, liberty, and property of others. It has converted plunder into a right, in order to protect plunder.” Frederic Bastiat, The Law.
AN EXAMINATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FUNDED STATUS OF DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS AND THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF SPONSORING ORGANIZATIONS –PUBLIC VS PRIVATE SECTOR
Authors: Phillips Janet F.
Published: March 2024

Defined benefit pension plans are a bedrock of the U.S. economy providing guaranteed payment streams at preestablished amounts. Results suggest public plans, sponsored by State and Local governments, and private plans, sponsored by public corporations, are unfunded. State plans were found to have the largest pension and unfunded pension liabilities. Examination of relationships between unfunded pension liabilities and fiscal or financial stability of sponsoring organizations suggests unfunded State pension plans are more likely to be sponsored by financially struggling sponsors measured by general obligation bond ratings. Local governments and Corporations with unfunded pension plans are less likely to be struggling financially. Fiscal distress of Local governments was measured by survival analysis. Corporation financial distress was quantified by a model designed to predict bankruptcy. Financially stable organizations failing to fund pension plans, in this case local governments and corporations, suggests a lack of social responsibility.
FRAUDULENT PRACTICES AND BLOCKCHAIN ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS Authors Umesh S. Mahtani
Authors: Mahtani Umesh S.
Published: March 2024

Double-entry accounting has been used globally for the past six hundred years and has become the base for all corporate financial reporting. Blockchain technology with distributed ledger now provides a new method of accounting termed “triple-entry accounting”. This method consists of recording and storage of business transactions, as a third entry on the blockchain. This third entry is expected to deliver a system that is trustworthy, immutable, and transparent. This study conducts a detailed review of the present literature on triple-entry accounting with blockchain technology and its impact on fraudulent practices. The review shows current literature has limited information on how this methodology will deter financial and accounting fraud. Drawing on the case studies of twenty-four companies involved in fraudulent practices globally, this paper describes common practices in manipulating financial statements, falsifying accounting records, and fraudulent banking transactions. The study explains the mechanics of how these practices can be prevented using triple-entry accounting in the blockchain environment and how the technique will bring about changes in the audit process and in the roles of internal and external auditors in the organization. The study recommends research propositions focused on governance and financial performance of a company when this method is adopted.
LESSONS LEARNED FROM NEW LEASING STANDARDS: VALUATION IMPLICATIONS OF VARYING IMPLICIT DISCOUNT RATES ACROSS OPERATING AND FINANCING LEASES
Authors: Heltzer Wendy
Published: March 2024

Under the new accounting standards for leases (ASC Topic 842), assets and liabilities relating to operating leases are recognized on corporate balance sheets. Before the adoption of ASC Topic 842, assets and liabilities relating to operating leases must be estimated by discounting future operating lease payments. Many assumptions are employed in this estimation method, including the timing and amounts of future lease payments, as well as inherent discount rates. New disclosures per ASC Topic 842 reveal that certain commonly used assumptions employed in estimating assets and liabilities related to operating leases are not accurate. This paper outlines a common method used to estimate assets and liabilities related to operating leases, including a detailed example, and discusses the impact of recently revealed assumption errors on valuation estimates.
CEO INCENTIVE ALIGNMENT: INTENSITY AND TIME HORIZON
Authors: Huang Ying (Julie) , Huang Minjie
Published: March 2024

Incentive design is a key feature of corporate governance and strategic leadership to ensure that CEOs' and shareholders' interests are aligned. A primary focus to date has been on incentive intensity, the strength of the alignment between CEO compensation and firm performance. We examine a new facet, the CEO-incentive time horizon, the degree to which CEO compensation is aligned with performance horizons. After controlling for incentive intensity, we assess positive and negative performance outcomes and find that firms with longer CEO-incentive time horizons exhibit significantly greater total shareholder returns, ROA growth, and reduced financial misconduct. We also find when investor time horizons are longer, and also when information asymmetry between managers and shareholders is higher, relationships between CEO-incentive time horizon and financial misconduct, as well as long-term performance, are stronger. Considering the time horizon in compensation provides a deeper explanation of the relationship between executive incentives and firm performance. "…the efficacy of granting equity to the CEO in order to achieve incentive alignment…is far from settled, leaving unanswered questions regarding the conditions under which incentive alignment mechanisms achieve their intended goal". - Martin, Wiseman, & Gomez-Mejia (2019)
