Core Principles of Accounting – an Introduction aims to provide southern African students with a decolonised teaching and learning experience. While the science behind the discipline of accountancy is complex to decolonise, especially because many countries have adopted the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), an effort has been made by the authors of Core Principles of Accounting – an Introduction to contextualise the study of accounting to a more relatable world view. This is achieved by demystifying the accounting principles thus ensuring that most students can relate to the transactions and the application of the IFRS standard.

Core Principles of Accounting – an Introduction discusses the recent developments in accounting in Africa. The textbook includes the latest definitions in accounting as per the Revised Conceptual Framework of the IASB (2018b). The names and types of businesses, as well as examples and scenarios provided will resonate with South

African students from various backgrounds as they are familiar to the South African environment.

Accounting principles have been simplified to be understandable even to students who did English as a second language. Each chapter begins with a preamble that introduces the concepts or principles discussed in the chapter. The textbook is accompanied by separate suggested solutions to the chapter exercises, extra multiple choice questions to support the students learning process, as well as power point slides to support lecturers.

Budgeting is at the heart of the performance management process for most companies. However, some argue that many companies today are dissatisfied with budgeting. It is seen to be costly and time-consuming; it inhibits action and causes organisational problems. The influence of the "Beyond Budgeting" model has caused many major companies, including Toyota, to abandon traditional budgeting altogether. Should other companies follow suit?

This report explores the changes in budgeting through a survey of financial and non-financial managers. Concerns include:

The attitudes of managers towards budgeting models

How budgetary practices have changed

What problems budgeting can cause

The effects of budgets on overall company performance.

This report reveals that there s little evidence to suggest widespread dissatisfaction with traditional budgeting. However, to enable a company to perform at its best, understanding budgeting in context is essential and it is imperative that budgeting works in tandem with other control systems and organisational structure.

This book is part of the celebrations to mark CIMA s 90th anniversary in 2009. It looks at the development of cost and management accounting from the founding of the Institute to today. It considers a number of immediate challenges to management accountants and surveys a range of issues and challenges that will likely affect management accounting thought and practice in the future.

The authors examine the possibilities for accountants to widen their focus and become more familiar with the enterprise technology determining their organisations cost structures and with the effects of multiple production in various locations, such as economies or diseconomies of scale. Such change may require the alteration of traditional cost models used by accountants to become more nuanced.

The book suggests how this may be accomplished and highlights the need for management accountants to work as part of management teams throughout the organisation as business partners rather than remain grounded in specialist information provision roles.
