This deliverable summarizes, validates and explains the purpose and concept behind the RAGE knowledge and innovation management platform as a self-sustainable Ecosystem, supporting innovation processes in the Applied Gaming (AG) industry. The Ecosystem portal will be developed with particular consideration of the demand and requirements of small and medium sized game developing companies, education providers and related stakeholders like AG researchers and AG end-users. The innovation potential of the new platform underlies the following factors: a huge, mostly entire collection of community specific knowledge (e.g., content like media objects, software components and best practices), a structured approach of knowledge access, search and browse, collaboration tools as well as social network analysis tools to foster efficient knowledge creation and transformation processes into marketable technology assets. The deliverable provides an overview of the current status and the remaining work to come, preceding the final version in month 48 of the RAGE project. ; This study is part of the RAGE project.

Management of data and information in an institution can support national development, but some are still less effective and efficient. This study aims to determine the application of information systems to achieve Good Governance in the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning / Land Agency of Magelang City. The method used in this study was interviews with staff at the Magelang City Land Agency. The results find that the development of information technology and supporting infrastructure created opportunities to develop a more reliable, efficient, and timely computerized application for land activities (KKP) within the National Land Agency (BPN). The growing need for more accessible land information demanded by the community (policy recipients) and the government (policymakers) has increased higher than before. However, on the other hand, there are obstacles, such as the unfinished mapping of land parcels. The implication of this research is the Land Office needs to guide operators to better service quality.

As a direct result of the accession into EU, IFRSs have been introduced in Slovakia as a framework for compilation of separate financial statements of various businesses since 2006. Because of traditionally strong ties between accounting and tax regulation, taxpayers and tax authorities were exposed to an unprecedented situation. Consequently, national parliament and the government have tried to address major identified issues. Apparently, two underlying principles have been established for carrying out these initiatives – to comply with the Regulation No. 1606/2002 and to keep the tax burden at the same level. Still, there is serious concern about the effectiveness of the measures adopted, as there are at least three approaches for determination of income taxes of IFRS adopters in Slovakia. Because the relevance of accounting information is partially driven by their ability to predict future order and results of events, our paper is focused on the assessment of the disclosures related to current income tax determination, presented in the separate financial statements of the said companies. Though lack of such information decrease the relevance of financial statements, it is quite commonplace. Additionally, we have found traces of boilerplate disclosures (i. e. likely wordings presented in financial statements of different companies).

Federal, State and Territory Governments have enacted a range of statutory laws to protect whistleblowers. The aim of these laws is to provide protection to those individuals in the private and public sector who report unlawful acts made by organizations, contractors and their employees. Provided the disclosure is made in 'good faith', the person making the disclosure is afforded protection from being sued for defamation, breach of confidence under their employment contract or for breach of their common law fiduciary duty. This paper has two purposes; first, the objective of the Australian Government in introducing new whistleblowing laws that extend protection to the consumer protection area and taxation, namely the Treasury Laws Amendment (Whistleblowers) Bill 2017 - Exposure Draft is examined. Secondly, an alternative approach to whistleblowing is considered. By way of contrast, a Singaporean approach which heavily relies on self-reporting and an internal investigation involving an Audit Committee of the corporation is critically examined to assess the potential for introducing a self-reporting approach in Australia. Our analysis finds that in Singapore, culture plays a role in the attitude of the Singaporean employee contemplating reporting unlawful activity and, more importantly in how the disclosure is treated by the corporation or public institution. This paper adds to the literature which examines alternative approaches and attitudes to whistleblowing by providing a comparative discussion of the Australian and Singaporean legal approaches.

Local governments (LGs) have an important role in providing services to the community. Nevertheless, some local governments still show relatively low performance. Scores of e-government implementation and audit opinions obtained by some local governments are also relatively low. This study examines whether there are relationships between e-government, the dimensions of e-government, and audit opinion and the performance of the local government administration. There are five dimensions of the e-government i.e. policy, institutions, infrastructure, applications, and planning. The sample used in this study includes 246 local governments from 2012 to 2014. Using regression analysis, the results of this study show that e-government has a positive association with the performance of the local government administration. This is supported by the positive association of e-government's dimensions with performance. The audit opinion is also positively associated with performance as expected. These results suggest that e-government and audit opinion can be used as indicators of the performance of local government administration.

The sources of documentary information issued by standardizing bodies such as the Consejo Técnico de la Contaduría Pública (CTCP) are documents that provide the evolution and development of an institution and merit review from various research approaches; an example, are the Concepts that originate from the consultations made by natural and legal persons from both the private and public sectors. The purpose of the article is to establish the trends in the topics of the concepts issued and published by the CTCP in the period between 1992 and 2018. In this advance, the content of 6,578 concepts out of 7,191 that are published in the page of the CTCP, establishing categories related to the elements of the financial statements, the type of person making the query and the sector to which it belongs, using the frequency, tool, of descriptive statistics on the values found in the defined categories. The main conclusion is a turning point in 2009, which refers to an increase in the issuance and publication of concepts by the CTCP possibly due to the change in the accounting model in Colombia for that same year; the contribution of the article is an advance and proposal to work with documentary sources issued by public institutions of the profession, in this case with a descriptive approach, but which can be covered from other research approaches and methodologies. ; Las fuentes de información documental que emiten organismos normalizadores como el Consejo Técnico de la Contaduría Pública (CTCP) son documentos que aportan la evolución y el desarrollo de una institución y ameritan la revisión desde varios enfoques en la investigación. Un ejemplo es los conceptos que se originan a partir de las consultas realizadas por personas naturales y jurídicas tanto del sector privado como del sector público. El artículo tiene como propósito establecer las tendencias de temas de los conceptos emitidos y publicados por parte del CTCP en el período comprendido entre el año 1992 y el año 2018. En este avance se revisó el contenido de 6578 conceptos de 7191 que están publicados en la página del CTCP, estableciendo categorías relacionadas con los elementos de los estados financieros, el tipo de persona que realiza la consulta y el sector al que pertenece, utilizando la frecuencia, herramienta de la estadística descriptiva en los valores encontrados de las categorías definidas. Como conclusión principal, se encuentra un punto de inflexión en el año 2009, que refiere a un aumento de emisión y publicación de conceptos por parte del CTCP dado posiblemente por el cambio de modelo contable en Colombia para ese mismo año. La contribución del artículo es un avance y propuesta para trabajar con fuentes documentales emitidas por instituciones públicas de la profesión, para este caso, con un enfoque descriptivo, pero que pueda abarcarse desde otros enfoques y metodologías de investigación.
