Drivers of successful controllership [electronic resource] : activities, people, and connecting with management / Jürgen Weber, Pascal Nevries.

2024-05-16T16:53:35Z

by Weber, Jürgen.
Call Number 658.151 22
Publication Date 2010
Summary This book is about drivers of successful controllership. Successful controllership services provide an imperatively required support to managers, especially in times of change. But what makes controllership services successful? Our book provides the first comprehensive set of answers to this question. We argue it is not the selection of latest tools and techniques but carefully customized services, motivated and skillful employees, and intensive mutual exchanges with managers and open cooperation with other internal service providers. Our book thus addresses managers who want to learn how they best profit from a close collaboration with controllers, and controllers who strive to improve the quality of "their" services to deliver superior performance.

Summary In these turbulent financial and economic times, the importance of sound investment decisions becomes a critical variable in underpinning future business success and, indeed, survival. The difficulties currently encountered globally by firms in both raising finance and making predictions concerning the future economic environment raise the already prominent role of capital budgeting in the arena of financial decision making. This book is intended for both practicing managers who require a thorough knowledge of the principles of making investment decisions in the real world and for students undertaking financial courses, whether at undergraduate, MBA, or professional levels. The subject matter encompasses relevant aspects of the investment decision, varying from a basic introduction, to the appraisal techniques available, to placing investment decisions within both strategic and international contexts, and coverage of recent developments including real options, value at risk, and environmental investments.

Achieving global convergence of financial reporting standards [electronic resource] : implications from the South Pacific region / edited by Parmod Chand, Chris Patel.

2024-05-16T16:53:35Z

by Chand, Parmod.
Call Number 657 23
Publication Date 2011
Summary This research monograph examines whether International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are interpreted and applied in a consistent manner within and across countries, and questions the implicit assumption that accounting convergence will automatically lead to comparability in financial reporting. Its review of the accounting judgment and decision making research published in the five top-tier accounting journals over the last forty years shows that there is a limited number of studies that have examined the importance of consistency in interpreting and applying a single set of accounting standards. Furthermore, the monographs and reviews on audit judgment and decision making research published over the years have strengthened this strand of research in auditing by providing insights and suggesting avenues for future research. However, limited comprehensive reviews have been published so far for the research undertaken in the domain of accounting judgment. This research monograph provides empirical evidence on the factors that act as constraints on achieving the objectives of convergence of financial reporting.

Effective financial management [electronic resource] : the cornerstone for success / Geoff Turner.

2024-05-16T16:53:35Z

by Turner, Geoff (Management consultant)
Call Number 658.15 22
Publication Date 2011
Summary In a fast-changing world, brimming with social and economic uncertainty, financial information plays a vital role in the life of an organization and does so with two sets of eyes. One set looks back to see what has happened. This is the accounting function, which is simply about the recording of events and the production of the financial reports that satisfy the stewardship responsibility of management. The other set looks forward to determine the most appropriate strategic direction for an organization, guiding managerial actions, motivating behaviors, and creating and supporting the cultural values necessary to achieve an organization's strategic objectives. This book is all about the second set of eyes, which are the lenses of financial management, that help organizations plot their ways through an environment filled with opportunities and dangers. For students and aspiring managers, as well as those who already have management responsibilities, this book provides an insight, through the eyes of the characters of a start-up company, of some of the ideas and models that help to identify the possible strategies capable of maximizing an organization's value, which is the same as making the owners as wealthy as possible, to determine how to finance the organization in the most proper way, to allocate the collected capital in the most effective way, to monitor the implementation of the chosen strategy to see whether it is meeting the planned objectives, and to reasonably decide on the reinvestment and distribution of profits.
