Book Description

Hardbound. This special edition (Supplement 1) of Research in Accounting in Emerging Economies (RAEE) focuses on accounting and economic development issues in developing countries, with special reference to Africa. The decision to publish a special supplement on Africa originated from the first conference on African accounting held under the aegis of the University of Botswana in February 1993. This supplement is a collaboration between African and non-African scholars. The chapters that have resulted have incorporated changes in accounting practices that have arisen between February 1993 (when the Botswana Conference took place) and December 1997.The last four chapters of this supplement did not originate from the Botswana Conference. They are derived from the unsolicited submissions to our annual series and went through our normal review process. They were included in this supplement because of their focus on an Afr ...

Book Description

A successful international harmonisation of accounting standards necessitates a detailed analysis of existing differences as well as their cause. This study provides such an analysis, exemplary for the area of intangible assets and two countries, namely Germany and Great Britain. Differences and similarities are determined in a thorough comparison of current accounting rules. The 'Environmental Determinism Theory' is then applied to examine whether the observed differences can be explained based on the legal system, the tax system and the capital market structure existent in each country. Finally, an approach towards a harmonisation of accounting standards with respect to intangible assets is suggested that takes into account not only the economic and legal environment in which accounting operates in Germany and Great Britain but also current international developments. ...

Useful to some extent
While this book is full of useful information, it seems better suited to the novice than to someone with experience. I can see how the book may provide insights into how client accounting works, but I found very little that I could apply to my own job as a client accounting/billing coordinator. If you work at a large, established firm, or hope to find employment in one, avoid this book. These firms already have their own entrenched systems with extensive training. This book will be useful if you are with a smaller firm or one just starting out. It will assist with ideas on how to establish your own systems. ... Read more

Book Description

Interactions between global corporations and global governance demand that today's corporate executives and policymakers have clear understanding of macroeconomic issues and their effects on international finance and corporate management. Beenhakker bridges the gap between macroeconomics and international finance and shows how strategic management, national government policies, and the international public sector are all related, often in subtle ways. With numerous examples and illustrations, plus a clearly defined and usable conceptual framework, he provides executives in multinational corporations with the techniques and procedures they need for effective decision making in this newly configured international business environment. ...
