Empirical foundation: The empirical materials of Chinese accounting system are mainly from the official websites and our telephone interviews. Japanese and French empirical data are collected from the official websites and related reports.
Conclusions: Through our analysis of the environmental factors influencing accounting regulatory modes, we found that the public sector mode is the most suitable style for Chinese situation. However, lacking of independence, representative and transparency are the main problems existed in China. In order to improve the accounting standard setting, we provide our suggestions to the Chinese authorities by the comparative analysis with Japan and France. (Less)
