Rule-based versus Principle-based Regulatory Compliance
There is an ongoing debate in law and accounting about the relative merits of principle-based versus rule-based regulatory systems. In this paper we characterize what kind of reasoning underlies the two styles of regulation.

متن کاملACCOUNTING WORKSHOP A Model of Principles-Based vs. Rules-Based Standards
We develop a theoretical framework to examine the trade-offs between principlesbased standards and rules-based standards.

Given evidence management and audit failure, we derive the optimal standard ...

Among graphical networks, fuzzy cognitive map is only capable of modeling fuzzy uncertainty and the Bayesian network is only capable of modeling probabilistic uncertainty. In many real issues, we are faced with both fuzzy and probabilistic uncertainties. In these cases, the propo...
