Abstract The study examines the empirical evidence of the submissions received
from third sector organisations and their stakeholders in response to propos
changes to the New Zealand accounting standard setting framework. The study aim
to determine whether third sector stakeholders have voice in third sector accountin
standard setting. Critical comparison of submissions and proposals appear to show
that the standard setters were not listening to their third sector stakeholders.
However, the study found that the standard setters utilised legitimacy managemen
strategies to gather third sector stakeholders' voice. The standard setters proactivel
achieved this by conforming to the environment and achieving pragmatic legitimac
to ensure that their decisions were based on third sector stakeholders' voice. The
study is important for those countries where accounting standard setters are grap-
pling with the due process to undertake for third sector accounting standards in its
elevation of working groups to the role of salient stakeholders.
Résumé Cette étude examine les preuves empiriques des réponses envoyées par les
organisations du secteur tiers et leurs intervenants en réaction à la proposition de
changement du cadre réglementaire de comptabilité en Nouvelle-Zélande. L'étude
vise à déterminer si les intervenants du secteur tiers ont voix au chapitre dans l'éta-
blissement de règles comptables pour le secteur tiers. Une comparaison critique des
réponses et des propositions effectuées semble montrer que les responsables de
l'établissement des règles n'étaient pas à l'écoute des intervenants du secteur tiers.
Cependant, l'étude a révélé que ces décideurs de règles ont utilisé des stratégies de
gestion de la légitimité afin de recueillir les opinions des intervenants du secteur tiers.
Les responsables de l'établissement de règles se sont activement employés à atteindre
cet objectif en se conformant à leur environnement et en obtenant une légitimité

Literature Review
International standard setters do not provide any conceptual framework for the third
sector. Currently there are two sets of accounting standards utilised for the third
sector: sector neutral standards; and third sector developed standards (Kilcullen

Australia operates under sector neutral standards, i.e. a single conceptual framework
using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) created by the Interna-
tional Accounting Standards Board (IASB 2010). These standards are primarily
developed for capital market decision making, which is not relevant for either the
public sector or third sector (IASB 2010). However, despite issues in third sector
reporting identified by Ellwood and Newbury (2006), Australia continues to operate
under these standards.
The England and Wales' Charity Commission has developed the Statement of
Recommended Practice (SORP) (Charity Commission 2005), for one part of the
third sector-charities. The SORP has been amended several times to take into
account the variety of financial reporting issues that several studies have uncovered
(Hyndman and Kirk 1988; Hyndman 1990, 1991; Hines and Jones 1992; Williams
and Palmer 1998; Connolly and Hyndman 2000, 2001; Palmer et al. 2001). The
SORP is also regulated by the Charity Commission 2008, which prescribes the form
and content of charities' financial statements, including notes. Meanwhile England
and Wales' accounting standard setter - the Accounting Standard Board (ASB) -
has developed a ' Statement of Principles for Financial reporting for public benefit
entities ' (ASB 2007) which sits 'alongside' the SORP. This ensures that the SORP
and the ASB's interpretations are compatible. The ASB is currently considering the
future of financial reporting in the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland and has
released discussion documents which have attracted large numbers of submissions
from the third sector (ASB 2011, 2012).

Terminology
To add confusion to this process, two different phrases for the third sector are used in these
reports. The MED and the Minister of Commerce refer to 'not-for-profit' (NFP). They
utilise the Johns Hopkins Institute for Policy Studies' (2003) definition which promulgates
that a NFP entity: (1) has an organisational structure; (2) is NFP; (3) is institutionally
separate from government; (4) is self-governing; and (5) is non-compulsory.
On the other hand, the ASRB and XRB utilise the term 'public benefit entities'
(PBE). PBEs are defined in the New Zealand International Accounting Standard 1
paragraph 1 1 .2 as:

Larson et al. (201 1) consider academics as lobbyists as they play an important role
in the development of accounting standards. In fact, they go further in suggesting that
accounting standard setting could be enhanced with greater participation from the
academic community.
Palmer's (201 1) study considered what submissions said about the current level of
satisfaction of third sector accounting standards among different stakeholders. The
paper proposes to look at the next step, i.e. what the third sector and their
stakeholders consider about accounting standards and whether their voice is heard by
accounting standard setters. The study also seeks to address Parker's (2007) call for
research on standard setting. As well the discussion will consider whether there were
any salient stakeholders when determining third sector stakeholders' voice. Next, the
research method selected to address the research problem will be discussed.

Data Analysis
The research is qualitative and interpretive, and utilised two types of data analysis:
(1) content analysis of the submissions on the MED (2009) and ASRB (2009)
discussion papers; and, (2) qualitative document analysis of the Minister of
Commerce (2011a, b, c) and XRB (2011a, b) documents.
Content Analysis
Content analysis is the method through which the submissions received by the MED
and ASRB were analysed. Content analysis involves the systematic, in-depth review
and evaluation of documents and texts, achieved through the use of consistent
coding mechanisms (Krippendorff 2004; Bryman and Bell 2007; Steenkamp and
Northcott 2007). NVivo was utilised to search, organise and track submissions from
the MED (2009) and ASRB (2009) discussion papers.
The MED and ASRB discussion papers had questions for both the business and public
sectors, as well as the third sector (which is the focus of this research). Thus, the research
focuses only on the questions of relevance to the third sector. These questions were
grouped into three categories (refer Table 3). The first two categories related to the
proposal to use tiers to ensure a fairer cost split, i.e. organisations in the top tier would
have more detailed requirements than organisations in the lowest tier. Thus, how the tiers
would be split needed to be identified, i.e. 'basis of tier splits' and 'size of tier' . The third
category related to the type of accounting standards each tier should utilise.
The process followed in coding the MED and ASRB submissions will be as follows:
First, the population of interest, i.e. submitters who answered Table 3 questions, was

Basis of tier splits, i.e. what component to utilise for the tiers
1 MED Q15 Annual operating expenditure
2 ASRB Q8 Entity size based on expenditure used to allocate entities
Size of tiers, i.e. how large should each tier be
3 MED Q1 6 Annual operating expenditure of $20,000 and $20 million as the cut-off points
between small and medium, and medium and large, respectively
4 ASRB Q9 Tier 1 should comprise entities with expenditure >$10 million with different
levels for the public sector
5 ASRB Q10 Tier 3 should comprise entities with expenditure under $1 million with
different levels for the public sector
Accounting standards, i.e. standards used for GAAP
6 ASRB Q1 1 NFP application of IPSAS
7 ASRB Q12 Full PBE standards applies to Tier 1; and differential version of the PBE
standards applies to Tier 2
8 ASRB Q13 Simple format reporting applies to Tier 3 entities
identified. Submissions that either did not answer Table 3 questions or submissions
that were not publically available due to privacy concerns were excluded. This resulted
in 77 submissions (40 MED and 37 ASRB) being analysed (refer Table 4).
Then, the nature of the stakeholder was identified, utilising the categories identified
by Palmer (2011) and Salamon (2010) (refer Table 5). Finally, submissions were
coded in accordance with Table 3' s categories.
Altheide (2000) considered that qualitative document analysis permitted rich textual
thematic analysis. Hence, the benefit of conducting documentary analysis on public
documents is that it is possible to learn something about the organisation that writes,
publishes, and maintains them (Taylor and Bogdan 1998).
Documentary analysis of the Minister of Commerce (2011a, b, c) and XRB
(2011a, b) documents was considered an appropriate method through which the
disclosures made in the consultation papers may be analysed. Unlike the content
analysis of public submissions, disclosures made in the identified documents will
not be coded and categorised. Rather, the overarching nature of disclosures made in
the Minister of Commerce (201 la, b, c) and the XRB (201 la, b) documents will be
compared with third sector stakeholders' voice of the 2009 documents.

The findings for the first research question is presented within Table 3's three
content analysis categories of the 2009 discussion papers' questions: basis of tier
splits; size of tier; and accounting standards. These findings are then compared with
the 2011 documents (Minister of Commerce 2011a, b, c and XRB 2011a, b) to
determine whether accounting standard setters listen to third sector stakeholders'
voice. Submissions are identified by the submission number allocated by either the
MED (2009) or ASRB (2009) discussion documents, and Table 5's nature of the
submitter.

expenditure as the basis of tier splits. Seventy-seven percent of submissions made in

The 201 1 documents agreed with the majority i.e. 77 % and had annual operating
expenditure as the basis of tier splits, contrary to the views of the opposing
submitters.
One-third of submitters had concerns in regard to what would constitute
'operating expenditure'. Submissions debated whether the inclusion of non-cash
expense items, such as depreciation and donated volunteer time, should be included
for the purposes of providing a definition of 'operating expenditure'. The majority
of submissions that discussed these issues considered that non-cash items should not
be included in the definition. The 2011 documents defined expenses as those
recorded in the operating statement. In this case stakeholders' views were not
listened to, as these expenses would include depreciation and volunteer time.
Submissions also raised concerns about the use of 'operating expenditure' to
define tier size in the event that expenditure fluctuated from period to period. This

Tiers Size of third sector tiers (2009 documents) Size of third sector tiers (201 1 documents)
would mean that the tier classification of the entity might change from being a sm

legal firm (MED 7) suggested that more consistent third sector tiers would
achieved if expenditure was averaged over a three or 5-year period. Stakeholders
proposals to average expenditure were not included in the 2011 documents. T
next subsection focuses on the submissions relating to the size of tiers.
In relation to the size of tiers the MED (2009) and ASRB (2009) documents w
focused on the cut-off points of Tier 1 and Tier 3. As shown in Table 4, Tier 3's cu
off points, using operating expenditure as their basis, were $1 million and $20,000
Submissions were split on Tier 3's top threshold of $1 million, with 47 % agreei
with the proposal and 53 % disagreeing. As seen in Table 6, the 2011 documents
doubled this level to $2 million, appearing to take consideration of the submitte
who questioned the $1 million threshold.
However, 78 % of submissions made in relation to Tier 3's bottom threshold o
$20,000 considered this was inappropriate. Forty-four percent of submitters gav
little justification as to why $20,000 would be considered an inappropriat
threshold, other than that the proposed $20,000 limit was 'too low'. Comm
reasons given by submitters who provided justifications for disagreeing with th
lower tier size limit included a perceived ' significant burden on voluntee
organisations' (Business organisation MED 18). The issue of whether there would
be any added benefit to third sector entities with relatively low annual operatin
expenditure in preparing GPFR was also raised. The availability of appropria
resources to prepare third sector general purpose financial statements was a
considered a concern, as stated by another business organisation (MED 49):
Non-profit entities are not going to have qualified accountants so will likely
have to pay Chartered Accountancy firms to prepare general purpose financial
statements where expenditure exceeds $20 k. The cost of this will outweigh
any benefits that are received.

I am aware of the considerable effort that IPSASB has been making to develop
a robust set of accounting standards based on IFRS but prepared for public
sector entities internationally. My initial scepticism has been somewhat
overcome by the recent rapid progress that the IPSASB has made and the
quality of its output (Accounting firm ASRB 69).
We do not currently consider that International Public Sector Accounting
Standards is currently a credible alternative to New Zealand equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards
(Public sector organisation ASRB 54).
Our preference is to continue with IFRSs as the base standards and consider
modifications made to IFRSs by the IPSASB , and requirements in other
jurisdictions for not-for-profit entities. While we acknowledge that modifica-
tions are sometimes needed for PBEs, the FRSB and AASB have already
jointly developed a Process for Modifying IFRSs for PBE/NFP to assist in
developing modifications for PBEs that are the same in both Australia and
New Zealand output (Third sector accounting professional association ASRB
73).
As can be seen from Table 7, contrary to these views the XRB (2011a, b)
documents did not change their use of IPSAS as a basis for third sector accounting
standards.
The findings from the three categories detailed in Table 3 appear to show that
New Zealand accounting standard setters were not always listening to third sector
stakeholders' voice. The issues of legitimacy and stakeholders' saliency arising
from this will be discussed in the next section.
Discussion
The key issue identified in the findings was that New Zealand accounting standard
setters were not always listening to the submissions made by third sector
stakeholders. This section considers the legitimacy management strategies that
the accounting standard setters utilised to ensure that decisions were based on third
sector stakeholders' voice. As well, the discussion will identify who were the salient
stakeholders from the legitimacy management strategies within third sector
stakeholders' voice.

Legitimacy theory requires a 'social contract' between the organisation and the
society in which it operates (Guthrie et al. 2004). Social contract is used to represent
the multitude of stakeholders' expectations, and ensures organisations such as
accounting standard setters operate within the norms of the society in which they
operate. Baylin et al. (1996) consider that social contract is particularly relevant for
accounting standard setters, who must generate support from their stakeholders for
their promulgations to be seen as legitimate. Thus, legitimacy has two approaches:
(1) substantive legitimacy which is concerned with the content of the accounting
standard (Richardson 1985); and (2) procedural legitimacy which looks at the
process by which an accounting standard is created (Johnson and Solomons 1984;
Richardson and Dowling 1986; Deegan and Blomquist 2006). This study focuses on
procedural legitimacy, as it considers the accounting standard setting process that
has been undertaken to derive third sector accounting standards, and how
accounting standard setters legitimise their action if their decisions are contrary
to the voice of third sector stakeholders.
The study utilises Suchman's (1995) legitimacy management strategies of
gaining, maintaining and repairing, in assessing the 'legitimacy' of accounting

Conclusion
This study set out to investigate whether third sector stakeholders have voice in third
sector accounting standard setting. NVivo was utilised to search, organise and track
submissions from the MED (2009) and ASRB (2009) discussion papers. In this way,
the voices of third sector entities and their stakeholders to proposed changes of third
sector accounting standards could be determined.
