The Promotion to Partner Process in a Professional Services Firm: How women are disadvantaged
Seminar, Eastern Gateway Building, First Floor, room 103
Abstract: Increasing numbers of women are attracted to careers in the professional services. However, when their progress is considered to partner positions, it is found that they are not advancing to the levels anticipated. When the literature in relation to the partnership promotion process is explored, we find explanatory models are rare, and rarer yet is work that considers the impact of sex bias on the process.

Determinants of voluntary audit and voluntary full accounts in micro- and non-micro small companies in the UK
Seminar, Eastern Gateway Building, First Floor, room 103
Abstract: This study investigates the link between the auditing and filing choices made by a sample of 592 small private companies, which includes 419 micro-companies. It examines decisions made in connection with the 2006 accounts following the UK’s adoption of the maximum EU size thresholds in 2004, and the impact of the proposed Directive on the annual accounts of micro-companies (EC 2011). The research extends the model of cost, management and agency factors associated with voluntary audit (Collis et al. 2004), and develops a complementary model for voluntary full accounts.
