Fundamentals of Accounts Payable
The accounts payable function is a lot more complicated than many realize. That's why we put this book together. Old practices often are inefficient and ineffective, resulting in duplicate and improper payments, extra costs associated with running the function, fraud and continual trouble with state and federal regulators. No one wants that.To create a solid foundation, best practices must be used and strong internal controls integrated throughout the function. For all that to happen, a good understanding of the fundamentals of the accounts payable function is required. That is the goal of this book and it is a lot more complicated than many realize.Now many professionals reading this book will already know some of what's included. After all, we all know how to pay bills. For starters, there's a right way and a wrong way to handle the functions related to paying invoices. What's more, the function is changing thanks to technology, new frauds and increased regulatory requirements. So, while some of the fundamentals have stayed the same for many years, a lot has changed.And, that's just the tip of the iceberg; there's a lot more to the accounts payable function than just paying bills (invoices).

Risk Accounting
In recent decades we've seen how non-financial risks such as operational, cyber, model, conduct, climate change and many others have grown exponentially both in their size and complexity. We've also seen how devastating unexpected losses can be for a business; they're a CEO's and CFO's worst nightmare. It's a frequently overlooked fact that an unexpected financial loss must have previously existed as an unquantified and unreported exposure to non-financial risk. It follows that if the threat of unexpected losses is to be minimized accountants and risk managers must refocus their methods and systems onto the quantification and accounting for non-financial risks. Risk Accounting explains, with worked examples, how this can be done. Risk Accounting transforms color-coded (traffic light) risk assessments into aggregatable and comparable cross-enterprise risk diagnostics and, through accounting for the financial impacts inherent in quantified non-financial risks, backward-looking accounting profit is upgraded to forward-looking sustainability as the primary accounting measure of corporate performance.

Tax Avoidance and Capital Structure
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the implications of tax avoidance for a firm's capital structure, highlighting the key role played by free cash flow and agency conflicts. First, the book provides an outline of the theories and empirical evidence concerning the role of taxes in the Theory of Capital Structure. It reviews the studies investigating the relationship between agency conflicts and capital structure. The book explores the role of free cash flow and agency conflicts in the relationship between tax avoidance and capital structure. In the final section, the results of an empirical investigation conducted on a sample of U.S. public firms are also presented. The empirical research examines whether and how tax avoidance is associated with debt covenant violation across the stages of the corporate life cycle. Specifically, the research uses the concept of the corporate life cycle stage to analyse whether and how the association between tax avoidance and debt covenant violation varies in different agency settings. Consistent with the hypotheses drawn on the Agency Theory, the findings of the empirical research suggest life cycle stages moderate the association between tax avoidance and debt covenant violation. Overall, this book sheds light on the potential implications of tax avoidance activities for a firm's capital structure. The book will be of interest to both experienced and early-stage scholars interested in the topic. Moreover, the book will also be of interest to policymakers, investors, analysts, lenders, and other market participants.
Business Models and Corporate Reporting
This book discusses the role of business models in corporate reporting. It illustrates the evolution of non-financial reporting, the importance of business model reporting, and the main conceptualisations of business models. It also offers a methodological contribution to the assessment of business model reporting. Finally, it discusses the main implication of business model reporting for different categories of subjects and some challenges related to this kind of disclosure.Readers will understand the role of business models in the non-financial reporting landscape. They will also gain an understanding of how business models can help users of the annual report contextualise other non-financial items disclosed. However, effective business model reporting implies paying attention to certain features that define its quality. This theme is discussed in the empirical part of the book and in the section devoted to implications for preparers, users, and regulators.As large companies in the EU and the UK have to disclose the business model in the annual report, this book will be of interest to preparers and users of financial statements, regulators involved in the ongoing non-financial regulatory process, and professional bodies. It will also be of interest to academics interested in the investigation of non-financial reporting.
Economics, Accounting and the True Nature of Capitalism
Almost all economists, whether classical, neoclassical or Marxist, have failed in their analyses of capitalism to consider the underpinning systems of accounting. This book draws attention to this lacuna, focusing specifically on the concept of capital: a major concept that dominates all teaching and practice in both economics and management.It is argued that while for the practitioners of capitalism - in accounting and business - the capital in their accounts is a debt to be repaid (or a thing to be kept), for economists, it has been considered a means (or even a resource or an asset) intended to be worn out. This category error has led to economists failing to comprehend the true nature of capitalism. On this basis, this book proposes a new definition of capitalism that brings about considerable changes in the attitude to be had towards this economic system, in particular, the means to bring about its replacement.This book will be of significant interest to readers of political economy, history of economic thought, critical accounting and heterodox economics.

Accounting and Auditing Standards for Islamic Financial Institutions
While accounting and audit functions are significantly regulated and standardized in conventional financial industries and activities, through the implementation of International Accounting Standards, and International Financial Reporting Standards, as well as other international, regional, and local regulations, this is not the case for Islamic financial organizations.

Profitability and Cost Management
Why is it that so many otherwise professional companies are struggling to identify profit and loss factors? Many of them do not know how much a client, product or service contributes and are unaware of the mechanism behind increasing costs. One could argue that it is irrelevant whether your organization is still profitable if you are clueless as to what actually makes the organization profitable or unprofitable. This is the central question in this book: couldn't your company be more profitable if you did know?While virtually all books on this subject put trading and manufacturing companies center stage, this book looks at the domain of service companies, such as banks, hospitals, transport companies, shared services organizations, professional service firms, and IT firms. Using real-life cases set in various industries, this book offers a project-based improvement of cost accounting and profitability analysis.After an introduction to cost accounting and activity-based costing, this book provides best practices to improve cost and profit transparency. These practices clarify both the methodology and the required role change for controllers, managers, and directors in improving insight into the costs and profitability of products, services, and customers.Koen Perik is a partner at Amsterdam-based consulting firm SIS Finance. He works to improve management and cost accounting at medium-sized and large enterprises and at government agencies.
More Than Fiscal
Every five years, the Australian treasurer is required to publish an intergenerational report (IGR), which examines the long-term sustainability of current government policies and seeks to determine how demographic, technological and other structural trends might affect the economy and the budget in coming decades. Despite these lofty objectives, the five IGRs produced from 2002 have received only muted applause. Critics say that they are too mechanical, too narrow and too subject to the views of the government of the day and that they don't provide the intended wake-up call for public understanding of looming economic, social and environmental issues.This analysis of the most recent IGR (2021) is based on a workshop hosted by the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia. While finding that the 2021 IGR is an improvement on the previous report (2015), the authors identify several fiscal and broader policy issues that deserve greater attention, including Australia's structural deficit, rising inequality and the impacts of climate change. They argue that the report fails to discuss the policies required to support greater resilience against future shocks, including the case for earlier budget repair. They propose that future IGRs be prepared with greater independence, cover all levels of government, have more transparent analysis and draw upon a wider 'wellbeing' approach to long-term sustainability.This book aims to attract close attention from public officials and politicians and generate constructive debate in the community.

He has seen the industry and dramatis personae grow over two and a half decades, first as a rookie reporter, then as an editor and a columnist, and, finally, as an author.The book brings to light the lives of India's commercial and central bankers. But it does not discuss their successes, failures, or the ever-evolving dynamics of monetary and fiscal policies. It's about their persona, warts and all.

Increasing Human Efficiency In Business
We've built machines to become more efficient in business, but humans remain human and inefficient. But must that always be the case? According to renowned business psychologist Walter Dill Scott, managers can help workers find their "second wind," the point at which they move past their previous limits and achieve top performance. Applying psychology to business, Scott wrote, "when a man is doing what he believes to be his best, he is still able to do better; when he is completely exhausted, he is, under proper stimulus, able to continue." In Increasing Human Efficiency in Business, Scott explores how to create motivation for success. He looks at factors such as imitation, competition, loyalty, concentration, wages, pleasure, "the love of the game," relaxation, and habit formation.He hopes to find each worker's latent powers and hidden stores of energy to discover "wider horizons of honorable and profitable activity." WALTER DILL SCOTT applied psychology to the fields of advertising, vocational aptitude, and business. He created a rating scale that would predict a job applicant's success in a given position; this scale was modified for the military during World War I with great success.
Social Procurement and New Public Governance
In recent years, the search for innovative, locally relevant and engaging public service has become the new philosophers' stone. Social procurement represents one approach to maximising public spending and social value through the purchase of goods and services. It has gained increasing attention in recent years as a way that governments and corporations can amplify the benefits of their purchasing power, and as a mechanism by which markets for social enterprise and other third sector organisations can be grown.Despite growing policy and practitioner interest in social procurement, there has been relatively little conceptual or empirical thinking published on the issue. Taking a critically informed approach, this innovative text examines emerging approaches to social procurement within the context of New Public Governance (NPG), and examines the practices of social procurement across Europe, North America, and Australia.Considering both the possibilities and limitations of social procurement, and the types of value it can generate, it also provides empirically-driven insights into the practicalities of 'triple bottom line' procurement, the related challenges of measuring social value and the management of both the strategic and operational dimensions of procurement processes. As such it will be invaluable reading for all those interested in social services, public governance and social enterprise.
