AbstractThe present research is aimed at modeling and prioritizing effective factors in the intention of internal reporting of frauds in the financial items by accountants. For this purpose, the effect of organizational justice, attitude towards whistle-blowing, personal cost of reporting, proactive personality traits, religiosity, and moral intensity are studied. The research is based on a survey research, and the statistical population of the study is the accountants of the companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange in 2015. The results of testing the hypotheses were obtained by exerting ordinary least squares regression, and they indicate that such variables as organizational justice, attitude towards whistle-blowing, religiosity and moral intensity posit positive and significant effect on the intention of reporting fraud in the financial items. The results also show that the theory of organizational justice has the potential to be used in implementation of effective mechanisms of whistle-blowing. In addition, in order to increase the effectiveness of mechanisms implemented with the aim of promoting whistle-blowing, it is of importance to pay attention to solutions such as execution of educational moral programs and cultural and religious plans, which would have a positive effect on religiosity and attitude.

This study aims to investigate to the effect of board composition on performance of companies Tehran Stock Exchange listed with emphasis on efficiency of value added by a firm’s total resources and efficiency of value added by a firm’s physical capital and intellectual capital resources separately. For this purpose, a sample consisting of 64 companies between 2001 and 2010 was selected. The results of testing hypotheses by applying the ordinary least square regression model statistically show that there is a weak positive and meaningful relationship between the variable of the presence of one of the non-executive members in the chairman position and the efficiency of value added by a firm’s total resources and efficiency of value added by a firm’s physical capital and intellectual capital resources. However, no meaningful relationship was found between variables of the percentage of non-executive directors on the board and presence of at least three non-executive members in the board composition and the efficiency of value added by a firm’s total resources and efficiency of value added by a firm’s physical capital and intellectual capital resources
