Simon & Schuster Where the Money Is: Value Investing in the
Book Synopsis“One of the best books I have read on investing in years. ” —Bill Ackman, founder and CEO, Pershing Square Capital Management From a successful investor and a contributor to Barron’s and Fortune comes a once-in-a-lifetime book that gives modern investors what they need most: a fresh guide to making money in a stock market now dominated by tech stocks.Technological change is reshaping the economy in a way not witnessed since Henry Ford introduced the assembly line. A little more than ten years ago, only two of the ten most valuable publicly traded companies in the world were digital enterprises—today, they comprise eight of the top ten. Investors around the world are struggling to understand the Digital Age and how they can use the stock market to profit from it. Author Adam Seessel understands. Several years ago, he watched his old-school portfolio built using traditional value investing principles decline while the market, driven by “expensive” tech stocks, advanced. Determined to reverse course, he set off in search of a new investment paradigm, one that remained true to the discipline that Ben Graham gave us a century ago while reflecting the new realities of the Digital Age. In this “helpful take on playing the stock market” (Publishers Weekly), Seessel introduces a refreshed value-based framework that any investor, professional or amateur, can use to beat the modern market. Like all sectors, the tech sector follows certain rules. We can study these rules, understand them, and invest accordingly. The world is changing, and we can profit from it. Approaching tech this way, the economy’s current changes and the rapid rise of tech stocks are not reasons to be frightened or disoriented—they’re reasons to be excited. Infused with the same kind of optimism and common sense that inspired Benjamin Graham’s The Intelligent Investor and Peter Lynch’s One Up on Wall Street, Where the Money Is ushers in a new era of modern value investing.Trade Review“One of the best books I have read on investing in years. Buying and reading this book will be one of the best investments you will ever make.” —Bill Ackman, founder and CEO, Pershing Square Capital Management “Seessel makes Graham and Dodd proud. He acknowledges value investing’s evolution to a purer form: focusing on mispriced businesses with high-quality, growing cash flows.” —Lisa Shalett, Chief Investment Officer, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management “Seessel puts his finger on a central tension in today’s economy and stock market: the rapid rise of software-driven businesses and the challenge/opportunity they present to many established industries. Just as importantly, he points the way toward how investors can prosper from the transition.” —Tim Stone, former chief financial officer of Amazon Web Services and Ford Motor Company “Where the Money Is should be required reading for anyone investing in the stock market, or wanting to. It honors and updates the intellectual and practical legacy of Ben Graham and Warren Buffett to account for the dramatic economic changes that continue to unfold in the 21st century.” —Joel Greenblatt, founder and managing principal of Gotham Asset Management and author of You Can Be a Stock Market Genius and The Little Book That Beats the Market “A helpful take on playing the stock market . . . Would-be investors struggling to understand a financial landscape in which FAANG has left GE in the dust will want to check this out.” —Publishers Weekly

Internal auditors need to understand not only who their primary customers are, but what is valuable to them - which in most cases is assurance that the risks that matter to the achievement of objectives are properly managed. We need to communicate what they need to know and not what we want to say. This incessant focus on the customer and the efficient production of a valued product should extend to every internal audit team.

Oxford University Press Accounting Organizations and Institutions
Book SynopsisAccounting has an ever-increasing significance in contemporary society. Indeed, some argue that its practices are fundamental to the development and functioning of modern capitalist societies. We can see accounting everywhere: in organizations where budgeting, investing, costing, and performance appraisal rely on accounting practices; in financial and other audits; in corporate scandals and financial reporting and regulation; in corporate governance, risk management, and accountability, and in the corresponding growth and influence of the accounting profession. Accounting, too, is an important part of the curriculum and research of business and management schools, the fastest growing sector in higher education.This growth is largely a phenomenon of the last 50 years or so. Prior to that, accounting was seen mainly as a mundane, technical, bookkeeping exercise (and some still share that naive view). The growth in accounting has demanded a corresponding engagement by scholars to examine Table of ContentsPreface ; 1. Linking Accounting, Organizations and Institutions ; 2.

Taylor & Francis Cost Management for Nonprofit and Voluntary
Book SynopsisIn recent years, nonprofit and voluntary organisations have faced challenges and unanticipated pressures as a result of increased competition for funding, technological advancements, the need to comply with government regulations, and increased social and community expectations regarding greater accountability and transparency.Cost accounting and cost management tools are considered to be a means of providing adequate and quality information for management control for all sorts of organisations, including nonprofits. Using empirical evidence from the Australian nonprofit sector, this research monograph offers insight into how nonprofit and voluntary organisations control and manage the costs of their operations and projects through cost accounting and cost management tools. The book will be of benefit to a range of stakeholders in the sector, including financial and management accountants, professional accounting bodies, the government, policymakers, academics, consultants and operational managers.Trade Review'Focussing on today's socially and economically important non-profit and voluntary sector, this invaluable research text addresses its crucial cost management practices. The authors deliver important intelligence concerning strategic management and innovation for meeting organizational performance demands in a resource constrained and competitive environment.' — Distinguished Professor Lee Parker, RMIT University, Melbourne and Glasgow University, Scotland'Accounting in not-for-profit and voluntary organisations, an increasingly important sector, has been neglected, despite effective cost management and external accountability being vital to their operations. This monograph reviews work and presents research in this field that will be useful to practitioners and academics alike.' — Trevor Hopper, Professor Emeritus of Management Accounting, University of Sussex, UK'The business of not-for-profits is becoming more complex and sustainability more challenging. This book is important because the sector needs to consider its cost base and financial sustainability in a world where demand for support and services is ever increasing, and resources are ever diminishing in real terms. A very important contribution indeed from Zahirul Hoque and Tarek Rana.' — Professor David Gilchrist, University of Western Australia'In an era where the non-profit sector is increasingly under pressure to become more market-efficient, the magnitude of the necessity to better manage their costs is exacerbated. With much of the focus of historical research focused on profit-maximising entities, this book is a welcome addition to the literature to help guide and enlighten non-profit management to improved cost management practices.' — Dr Nicodemo La Rosa, CA, CPA, Chief Financial Officer, arbias Ltd, www.arbias.org.auTable of Contents1 Background, introduction and aims2 The nonprofit and voluntary sector in Australia3 Accountability and governance mechanisms for nonprofit organisations: an international perspective4 Cost management and accounting research literature: an overview5 Theory of cost management and research propositions6 Study design and methods7 Survey results8 Findings from case studies9 Conclusions and implications
