Profile Books Ltd The Signs Were There: The clues for investors
Book SynopsisWhen companies suffer a dramatic even catastrophic drop in their share price, it is the investors who lose their shirts and employees their jobs. But often, a company's published accounts offer clues to impending disaster, providing you know where to look. Through the forensic examination of more than 20 recent stock market disasters, Tim Steer reveals how companies hide or disguise worrying facts about the robustness of their business. In his lively style, he looks at the themes that underlie the ways companies hide the truth and he stresses that in an assessment of a company's accounts, investors should always bear in mind that the only fact is cash; everything else - profit, assets, etc - is a matter of opinion. Full of invaluable lessons for investors, the book concludes with some trenchant observations on what is wrong in the worlds of investment, audit and financial regulation, and what changes should be introduced.Trade Review[The] best book I have ever read about accounting. * Telegraph *A lot of useful hints and tips. Highly recommended * Money Week *

Taylor & Francis Ltd Understanding Accounting in its Social and
Book SynopsisUnderlying this book, first published in 1988, is the belief that it is insightful to examine accounting not as merely a technical process, nor as a technical process with social and political consequences, but as an activity which is both social and political in itself. One way of illuminating the social nature of accounting is through studying its cultural variations, for although accounting is a feature of modern industrial society the extent of its use varies across cultures. This book examines the history of accounting and explores the complicated relationship between accounting and society. Table of Contents1. Introduction 2. Understanding Cost and Management Accounting in its Social and Historical Context 3. Historical Introduction 4. The First World War 5. After the War: Reconstruction and Reality 6.

Palgrave Macmillan Ethics in Investment Banking
Book SynopsisThe financial crisis focused unprecedented attention on ethics in investment banking. This book develops an ethical framework to assess and manage investment banking ethics and provides a guide to high profile concerns as well as day to day ethical challenges.Trade Review'Reynolds and Newell have produced a well-informed assessment of the multiple ethical issues that investment bankers must confront. With an insider's view of the industry as well as expertise in applied ethics, they focus on the critical differences between compliance and ethics. The result is a no-nonsense book full of practical and workable solutions to ethical problems. Ethics in Investment Banking could not be more timely, making it very clear that there is no excuse for the absence of a strong ethical foundation to investment banking.' - Lord Myners 'Whether banks, including especially investment banks, lost their moral and ethical compass, as well as vast amounts of shareholders' capital, is a fair question to ask in the wake of the financial crisis. What is clear is that sustainable returns in banking can only be achieved if banks act fairly and responsibly to their key stakeholders. This book makes an important contribution to considering this question.' - Sir Philip Hampton, Chairman, RBS 'This book needed to be written...gives an insight into what it feels like to be immersed in the complicated end of banking. Even the controversial views are informed ones. Read this book and be grateful for those who wrestle with what it means to be salt and light rather than enjoy the moral purity of the spectator.' - John Ellis, Faith in Business QuarterlyTable of ContentsForeword Introduction: Learning from Failure?

Book SynopsisThe authors of this book are top executives in the luxury goods industry. In an environment in which brands have come under attack they argue that brands can be factors of progress if they are correctly managed. The book includes an analysis of brand nature and history and highlights the importance of semiotics in the management of brand identity. In summary they argue that brands cannot be held responsible for the imperfections and excesses of the worldwide economic and political systems, but that they can be signs of excellence and differentiation and vectors of values which favour multicultural understanding and put people in a position to generate progress.Trade Review'Cheeky title, cheeky jacket.

IGI Global Empowering Women Through Microfinance in
Book SynopsisDespite the widespread promotion of microfinance as a key strategy for reducing poverty and fostering microenterprise development in developing countries, there is still a lack of understanding about how this concept can be used to empower women in these regions. The role played by formal and informal institutions in developing countries in facilitating or disabling women's empowerment and social mobility has not previously been adequately explored. Empowering Women Through Microfinance in Developing Countries addresses this knowledge gap by examining the influence of microfinance on women's empowerment in developing countries. It offers theoretical and empirical insights from industry experts, experienced researchers, and policymakers on the problems, processes, and prospects of using microfinance as a catalyst for women's empowerment in the developing world. The book covers a range of topics, including the impact of microfinance interventions on women's empowerment, financial inclusion, microfinance and female entrepreneurship, and poverty reduction among women, and small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) growth. The insights provided in this book will be a valuable resource for researchers, students, microfinance institutions, policymakers, state institutions, managers, non-governmental organizations, and financial institutions looking to expand their product portfolio and outreach. The book also provides policy directions and rethinking of practice in using microfinance as a strategy for eliminating barriers to women's empowerment in developing countries.

Book SynopsisThis monograph presents three variants of the neoclassical investment model and characterizes the firm's optimal investment policy, equity value, and the desirable properties of accrual accounting rules in each setting. Two main questions are considered: (1) What accounting rules result in the most informative financial statements from the perspective of investors seeking to value the firm's equity? and (2) What accounting rules can be efficiently used by shareholders in evaluating the performance of better informed managers? One accounting treatment, referred to as replacement cost accounting, achieves efficiency along both dimensions.The notion of replacement cost studied in this monograph corresponds closely to that of fair value, as defined in IFRS 13, in that it is defined as either (i) the current price of the capital goods in a perfectly competitive market, if such a market is available, or (ii) the hypothetical amount that would have to be incurred today to replace the current and future capacity of the capital goods in question. While the replacement cost rule is, in many settings, unique in providing the firm's shareholders with sufficient information for precise equity valuation, the problem of efficient performance measurement is generally less informationally demanding. For example, under certain plausible conditions, the owners can incentivize a better informed manager to make efficient investment decisions using the straight-line depreciation method.Table of Contents 1.
