“…Enhanced listening and communication skills are also considered to be highly effective by both auditors and management in eliminating communication barriers. These findings corroborate the conclusions of Arpa (2014), Baldacchino (1992), Bellia (2021), Farrugia (2016, Golen et al (1996), Lunenburg (2010), and Siriwardane and Durden (2014), who all highlight that simple communication and/or listening skills will substantially improve communication. These results may suggest that as the years go by, adequate listening and communication skills will always help in eliminating communication barriers.…”

Purpose: This study aims to determine which barriers significantly hinder communication between the external auditor and management of Maltese equity listed entities, both from the auditors' and management's perspectives. It also explores what both parties believe could be carried out to eliminate or mitigate these barriers, and it compares and contrasts the perceptions of both parties in relation to the communication barriers and mitigation techniques. Design/Methodology/Approach: To attain these objectives, a qualitative research design was adopted. A total of twenty-three semi-structured interviews were carried out. The respondents consisted of eleven auditors and twelve finance representatives of Maltese equity listed entities. Findings: This research concluded that in Malta, the most frequent communication barriers encountered in the auditor-management relationship are the lack of understanding of accounting/auditing terminology, differences in perceptions, the failure to adhere to deadlines/timelines and language barriers. Consequently, to eliminate/reduce these barriers, the most effective mitigation techniques in the Maltese scenario were found to be the preliminary auditor-client meeting and the possession of an enhanced level of listening and communication skills. Originality/Value: This study raises awareness regarding the communication barriers between external auditors and management in the Maltese scenario and how these barriers can be mitigated. It therefore bridges a small state research gap about the communication

“…The user's involvement in virtual environments is created by the immediacy provided by the VR hardware used, where no other medium is visible between the user and the visible virtual world, while multimodal interaction involving visual and tactile feedback ensures the feeling of immersion [17]. Multimodality also includes sound that is inextricably linked to place and space, mind and body, cultural context, and emotion as a means of knowledge and experiential involvement [18,19]. Furthermore, depending on the way the VR device is tracked in space, six or three degrees of freedom (DoF) can be provided to interact with the virtual environment [20].…”

Because of its benefits in providing an engaging and mobile environment, virtual reality (VR) has recently been rapidly adopted and integrated in education and professional training. Augmented reality (AR) is the integration of VR with the real world, where the real world provides context and the virtual world provides or reconstructs missing information. Mixed reality (MR) is the blending of virtual and physical reality environments allowing users to interact with both digital and physical objects at the same time. In recent years, technology for creating reality-based 3D models has advanced and spread across a diverse range of applications and research fields. The purpose of this paper is to design, develop, and test VR for kinaesthetic distance learning in a museum setting. A VR training program has been developed in which learners can select and perform pre-made scenarios in a virtual environment. The interaction in the program is based on kinaesthetic learning characteristics. Scenarios with VR controls simulate physical interaction with objects in a virtual environment for learners. Learners can grasp and lift objects to complete scenario tasks. There are also simulated devices in the virtual environment that learners can use to perform various actions. The study’s goal was to compare the effectiveness of the developed VR educational program to that of other types of educational material. Our innovation is the development of a system for combining their 3D visuals with rendering capable of providing a mobile VR experience for effective heritage enhancement.
