Shows how accounting information and control mechanisms are used in decision-making, planning and control at an inter-organizational level and how accounting tools and techniques may support the development and management of external relationships with strategic partners.
In "global companies" the use of management control mechanisms has increasingly become decentralised from the management accounting department, this book covers these issues. In all functional areas (marketing, operations, human resources, etc.), those who are expected to be able to analyse and interpret accounting information collected from external partners, have to exercise cost control to ensure that profit targets are achieved and understand.
to understand the nature of collaborative partnerships and illustrate the variables that explain the choice of different control modes in the various contexts of cooperation;
to describe the characteristics of management accounting mechanisms for cross-boundary settings, such as collaborative programmes and budgets, inter-firm performance measurement systems and inter-organisational cost management techniques;
to describe empirical evidence on control choices, management accounting practices and on management accountants roles in collaborative relationships;

Candon, Todd and Seabolt have written a brief, accessible introduction to business valuation and forensic accounting to help Hawaii residents involved in settling disputes over the values of businesses and business interests. Most often these sorts of disputes come about because co-owners of businesses are going their separate ways. It may be because of a pending divorce. It may be due to a disagreement among the co-owners. Whatever the motivation, this book will help the parties and their advisors chart their future course. This primer on business valuation and forensic accounting is designed for business owners but may be of interest to others in the islands of Hawaii and elsewhere. Included is a brief summary of the major business valuation professional credentials, the related professional standards and a brief description of the process involved in developing an opinion of the value of a business interest. It also summarizes, from a valuation analyst's point of view, the case law that guides the valuation of businesses in Hawaii in the context of divorce. Forensic accounting standards, credentials and procedures, as well as examples of certain fraud schemes, are also included because, in financial disputes, one or more parties sometimes suspect that someone else is hiding the financial ball.

This book is very practical in its international usefulness (because current risk practice and understanding is not equal across international boundaries). For example, an accountant in Belgium would want to know what the governance regulations are in that country and what the risk issues are that he/she needs to be aware of.
This book covers the international aspect of risk management systems, risk and governance, and risk and accounting. In doing so the book covers topics such as: internal control and corporate governance; risk management systems; integrating risk into performance management systems; risk and audit; governance structures; risk management of pensions; pension scheme risks e.g. hedging derivatives, longevity bonds etc; risk reporting; and the role of the accountant in risk management.
There are the case studies through out the book which illustrate by way of concrete practical examples the major themes contained in the book. The book includes highly topical areas such as the Sarbanes Oxley Act and pension risk management.

This text is designed to teach accurate financial accounting, which has the communication of relevant financial information to internal and external users as its primary subject. This volume represents to focus on new directions with special emphasis on concepts, rational, measurement, and reporting. With this in mind, I have attempted to impart these principles in this book.
