| Tiivistelmä: | The authors investigate the effect of language-culture and linguistic translation on the interpretation of verbal uncertainty expressions found in International Accounting Standards. Data are collected from US Certified Public Accountants and German-speaking Wirtschaftsprüfer. The results indicate significant differences in interpretation across the three groups. Some differences are attributed to a language-culture effect and others to a translation effect with the language-culture effect being more pervasive. |
