analysis 83 forms of the study sample. The main result was that the rules and regulations has no role in
stopping changing the accounting policies. Administrations and different departments don’t participate in

1. Introduction:
Several parts participate in organizing the work foundation and principles that accounting depends on.
There are specialized organization that issues principles foundation and ways to guide or bide with by the
economical project or to choose between the two if there are other choices.
The choice it self depends on the economical polices that the institutions use or follow.
The reason of this study is that there are different replacement for measuring and assessment accounting,
the freedom of management to choose between different policies and ways, the possibilities of changing in
the future to achieve its goals.

Changing the accounting polices is optional depending on the institution desire, or obligatory when the
authoritative quarter delete a certain replacement or change it.
What matter for this study is the obligatory change, because following a certain accounting polices doesn't
mean to abide by it for ever without changing but it could be changed by the institution when ever it choose
to do that- if the change was not obligatory. There are different motivation for the institution to change, it
could be related to investment, financing or to improve the image of the management or other motives.
The touristic sector which provide different services needs accounting polices that helps it to fill full its
financial and accounting obligations to improve its performance during the successive periods, so the
administration chooses between the available replacements keeping in mind that it is suitable to this sector,
the competition it encounter and the difference in the nature of the product form other sectors which
achieve the goals of the administration form these replacements.

questions, were the available answers are (agree strongly, agree, unbiased, disagree, disagree strongly) in
order. And the answers were considered (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) in degrees in order.


10. The statistical methods used:
The statistical measures have been calculated are: arithmetic mean, t-test, Cronbach's alpha, standard
deviation, According to the hypotheses or items, the standard to accept the question or the paragraph was
the arithmetic mean should be greater than 3, 00, and to be significant, the t value should be greater than the
tabulated value and the observed significance level should be less than 0.05.


11. Stability of Instrument
To test the stability of instrument the researcher applied Cronbach's Alpha coefficient Tests.        Table 1
shows the results of this test as follows:
              1. Alpha value for legislative dimension items was 0.73
              2. Alpha value for people participation dimension items was 0.67
              3. Alpha value for objectives and real excuse   dimension items was 0.82
              4. Alpha value for economical dimension items was 0.78
              5. Alpha value for intellectual framework dimension items was 0.71
              6. Alpha value for human cadre dimension items was 0.77
              7. Alpha value for all combined items was 0.80
Therefore the instrument was stable since all values were >0.60


12. Validity of Instrument
    The validity of instrument was verified through 2 ways
              1. It was presented to different arbitrators to make sure that the entire item included in the
                   instrument serve each dimension of the instrument. In the light of the arbitrators
                   comments some sentences were alternated to make its composing and relation to the
                   dimension it follows more clearly.
              2. The validity of the instrument was also verified by using the Factorial Analysis to check the
                   connection between the sentences and the dimension it’s related to.
         Table 1 shows the results of this analysis, where the saturation of all the items for each dimension
         were high, and >0.30 which is acceptable, this means that each item is related to the dimension it
         belongs to.


13. Description of Personal and Job Characteristics of Respondents

                   20.48% vice manager, 14.46% managers.


14. Answering the question of the study:
14.1 The first question:
Does the rules and regulations hinder the process of changing the accounting polices in the touristic
companies in Jordan?
Table 3 shows that item 1 and 2 have a arithmetic means less than 3.00 which means that the rules and
regulations have no role in hindering the process of changing the accounting polices are not statistically
significant, so Whereas item 3 has an arithmetic means greater than 3.00 and observed significance levels
less than 0.05, which means that they are statistically significant, so the economical standards applied in
Jordan doesn't need a constant change in the accounting polices.


14.2 The second question:
What are the parts in the changing the accounting polices in the touristic companies in Jordan?
Table 4 shows that item 4 and 5 have a arithmetic means greater than 3.00 and observed significance levels
less than 0.05 which means that the higher administration and accountants have a role in the decision of
changing the accounting polices are statistically significant.
item 6 and 7 have a arithmetic means less than 3.00 which means that the administration and other
division in the institution doesn't participate in the process of taking a decision for changing the accounting
policies, or even benefit form the experience, and the qualification of any other outside parts are not
statistically significant


14.3 The third question:
Does the decision of changing the accounting polices in the touristic companies in Jordan taken based on
objective and realistic justifications.
Table 5 shows that item 9 and 10 have a arithmetic means greater than 3.00 and observed significance
levels less than 0.05 which means that we understand that the changing the accounting polices doesn't
happen randomly according to time and the articles of financial lists are statistically significant
Item 8 have a arithmetic means greater than 3.00 but the observed significance levels was less than 0.05
which means that the changing of the accounting polices isn't based on a well studied bases.
Item 11 have a arithmetic means less than 3.00, which means that the new administration change the
accounting polices for the sake of change only are not statistically significant,


14.4 The fourth question:
Is there an economical forces for the changing of the accounting polices in the touristic companies in
                                                      96

Jordan.
Table 6 shows that expect item 14 all the other items have a arithmetic means less than 3.00 which means
that they are not statistically significant.
Item 14 have arithmetic means greater 3.00 and observed significance level less than 0.05 which means that
touristic companies do change their accounting polices in order to attract borrowers.


14.5 The fifth question
Does the intellectual framework have any effect on changing the accounting polices in the touristic
companies in Jordan?
Table 7 shows that item 19 and 20 have a arithmetic means greater than 3.00 and observed significance
levels less than 0.05 which means that lack of a clear foundation for the relative importance leads to the
changing the accounting polices, and the misunderstanding of the quality characteristics of the information
leads to the changing of the accounting polices are statistically significant.
Item 18 have a arithmetic means less than 3.00 which means that the rule of being cautious and careful
doesn't lead to changing the accounting policies so it’s not statistically significant.


14.6 The sixth question:
Does the human cadres make the change in the accounting polices in the touristic companies in Jordan
efficiently.
Table 8 shows that expect item 24 all the other items have a arithmetic means greater than 3.00 and
observed significance level less than 0.05 which means that they are statistically significant.
Item 24 have arithmetic means less than 3.00 which means that they are statistically significant and this
shows that touristic companies do change their accounting polices in order to attract borrowers.

              the sake of bringing investment or trying to reduce taxes, nor getting an outsider help. But it
              turns to changing to allure borrowers
       8.     The lack of a clear foundation for the relative importance and misunderstanding of the quality
              characteristics of the information leads to the changing of the accounting polices. whereas rule
              of being cautious and careful doesn't lead to that

The main result was that the rules and regulations has no role in stopping changing the accounting policies. Administrations and different departments don’t participate in changing the accounting policies, and the new administration makes the change only because it wants to. These companies make these changing to win borrowers, and there is a clear shortage in the foundation of the relative importance and lack of understanding qualitative characteristic for the information which leads to the changing of the accounting policies. The study strongly recommended organizing the process of the changing accounting polices in Jordanian touristic companies.

What matter for this study is the obligatory change, because following a certain accounting polices doesn't mean to abide by it for ever without changing but it could be changed by the institution when ever it choose to do that- if the change was not obligatory. There are different motivation for the institution to change, it could be related to investment, financing or to improve the image of the management or other motives. The touristic sector which provide different services needs accounting polices that helps it to fill full its financial and accounting obligations to improve its performance during the successive periods, so the administration chooses between the available replacements keeping in mind that it is suitable to this sector, the competition it encounter and the difference in the nature of the product form other sectors which achieve the goals of the administration form these replacements. 2.

The study concluded that the adoption of the unit economical management to the gain administration has an effect on the prices of shares traded in the Palestinian market for securities. Because there is a relation between the net profit of the economical unit which refers to the right of ownership and issuing the traded shares in the traded shares market in this market. And it also concluded that the economical unites may turn to profit administration strategy by following polices that have an effect on the stability of income for the sake of the administration, for taxation profits impulses and for avoiding the political costs and the costs of debt contracts . The study recommended issuing new rules to allow entering new financial tools to the market which was not there before. 2.4 Alfadel study (2006) The study aimed to recognize the effect of the environment factors that distinguish the thoughts, behavior, trends and culture of a certain community form other community with the differences of the management impulses in choosing accounting polices.

The study recommended to follow the phenomena of profit management and observe it then mange it again in a consultation way not in using economical information way. It also recommended to choose the effect of the other changes in choosing the accounting polices like the effect of density of capitalism and the sort of the sector. 2.5 Al-Abdallat study ( 2002) The study aimed to show the relationship between the accounting polices and its effect on the accounting standards, especially in Iraq.

And the answers were considered (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) in degrees in order. 10. The statistical methods used: The statistical measures have been calculated are: arithmetic mean, t-test, Cronbach's alpha, standard deviation, According to the hypotheses or items, the standard to accept the question or the paragraph was the arithmetic mean should be greater than 3, 00, and to be significant, the t value should be greater than the tabulated value and the observed significance level should be less than 0.05. 11. Stability of Instrument To test the stability of instrument the researcher applied Cronbach's Alpha coefficient Tests. Table 1 shows the results of this test as follows: 1. Alpha value for legislative dimension items was 0.73 2. Alpha value for people participation dimension items was 0.67 3. Alpha value for objectives and real excuse dimension items was 0.82 4. Alpha value for economical dimension items was 0.78 5. Alpha value for intellectual framework dimension items was 0.71 6. Alpha value for human cadre dimension items was 0.77 7. Alpha value for all combined items was 0.80 Therefore the instrument was stable since all values were >0.60 12. Validity of Instrument The validity of instrument was verified through 2 ways 1. It was presented to different arbitrators to make sure that the entire item included in the instrument serve each dimension of the instrument. In the light of the arbitrators comments some sentences were alternated to make its composing and relation to the dimension it follows more clearly. 2. The validity of the instrument was also verified by using the Factorial Analysis to check the connection between the sentences and the dimension it’s related to. Table 1 shows the results of this analysis, where the saturation of all the items for each dimension were high, and >0.30 which is acceptable, this means that each item is related to the dimension it belongs to. 13.
