Session Topic:= Gender Issues and Work-Life Balance (GIWB) Session discusses gender Accounting Information Systems (AIS) distribution among accounting academics. Their study presents a cross-sectional regression analysis of men and women in AIS. Their find= ings indicate that the proportion of faculty positions held by women in AIS = can help in producing a methodology to control for “Class Action Sex Discrimination” law suits using Accounting Information System (AI= S) faculty promotion as a case in point. This is a forensic audit, expert witness testimony & computer litigation support case study approach= to minimize the monetary damage, flag emerging cases and providing quick settlement of a class that is pending. Such systems can be used by accreditation organizations such as the AACSB, who accredits accounting programs and examined how their publication rate. Academic organizations such as the American Accounting Association (AAA) can use it to promote equal opportunities and compliance with the Equal Employment Opportunit= y Commission (EEOC). The EEOC can use it, to enforce compliance, and it can be used = by universities and law firms as well..

Session Description:
[ Edit Session Description]

Using standard statistical methods, the authors found that universities promote AIS faculty primarily on the basis of publications as they were statistical= ly significant. In contrast, the “gender” or sex was statistic= ally insignificant, but indicate a bias in favor of female faculty members in the sample. This means that there is no evidence of sex discrimination = in the population, but the sample suggests that universities may be biased against males and in favor of female faculty members in promotion decisions. The methodology can be used as red flags to investigate poss= ible inequities in promotion decisions. The proliferation of “Class Ac= tion Sex Discrimination” cases reported by the press raises the issue = of preventative controls. This study looks at the case of AIS faculty promotion from a forensic audit, expert witness testimony and computer litigation support point of view.

Class action s= ex discrimination suits have been discussed recently in the press. For instance Anthony Sebok (2004) reported that the class action sex discrimination suit against Wal-Mart was certified a sex discrimination class action suit. When a court "certifies" a class action, it allows the case to proceed with a class of plaintiffs, according to cla= ss action rules - as opposed to with a number of individual plaintiffs.) T= he class is claiming that Wal-Mart discriminated against women in the way = it recruited and promoted managers.

A nationwide employment discrimination class action lawsuit has been filed against Costco Wholesale Corporation (Patel, 2007).. The suit charges that Cost= co operates a "glass ceiling" at the store-management level which precludes women from obtaining promotion to assistant manager and gener= al manager positions. Class Action Sex Discrimination law suits have become more prominent and more costly in recent years. Therefore, their Preven= tion Controls may also become more important. We have looked at the case of = AIS faculty promotion from a forensic audit, expert witness testimony & computer litigation support stand point.

In summary, we have performed a multiple linear regression and developed a model that forecasts promotions of AIS faculty as a function of Publications and S= ex. We have demonstrated that the model is accurate and reliable for AIS promotional decisions, and it is statistically significant. Likewise, we demonstrated that while the model is significant the Sex variable by it= self is not significant, and that is a sort of a test for compliance with anti-discrimination regulations such as the EEOC. We also suggested a different survey methodology, instead of the traditional paper survey, = we suggest an online survey running on a WWW server, using Microsoft SharePoint software to continuously update the results automatically. <= o:p>

In conclusion,= we found that at the present time it appears that there is no evidence of discrimination in the population of AIS faculty promotion, but this may= change in the future. We confirmed previous finding of differences in publicat= ion between the genders. However, these differences were not statistically significant and therefore cannot be generalized to the population.

The implicatio= ns of our study is that in a future time Sex discrimination may become a problem and class action law suits may spread into the academic environment. For that reason we suggest automating the process of data collection and data analysis that will help flag risks of compliance and the absence of compliance with regulatory enforcement.

Such online interactive continuous surveys and regression analysis of the results c= an be an effective internal control and a preventive control for regulatory compliance. Likewise, it can also serve as a method to determine whethe= r or not discrimination exists, and if it does what is the size of the bias = in favor on one sex and against the other sex.
