Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - Controlling, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Wildau (WIT Wildau), course: Managerial Accounting, 18 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Activity-based costing first gained publicity in the early 1980s. It was developed as a logical alternative to traditional cost management systems that tended to produce insufficient results when it came to allocating costs. Harvard Business School Professor Robert S. Kaplan was an early advocate of the ABC system. Due to a changing business world and strong competition, the cost structure in many companies changed, while facing an increased price pressure. When profit margins are decreasing, companies are focusing not only on external but also internal opportunities to improve their cost structures and to make hidden costs transparent. This lead to the introduction of Activity-based costing (ABC) as a new approach of process thinking to make the internal organization more flexible to react to changes in the production process and allocation of costs as well as to deal with overcapacities. This paper will focus on the ABC tool, which is aiming at transparency, efficiency increase and improvement of the given cost calculation systems. The ABC method enables management to optimize the enterprise with detailed information for a thorough decision making process. ABC is a method for developing cost estimates, based on the activities used within the production process per cost object. To develop a cost estimate the most important activities within the production cycle - the cost drivers - need to be identified. The activity must be definable and measured in units, e.g. number of man hours. After all activities for producing the product are known, a cost estimate is prepared for each activity. These individual cost estimates contain all labour, materials and equipment costs, including overhead, for each activity. Each complete individual e

Enhancing the Capabilities of Central Finance Agencies: Synthesis Report presents the findings of a study of the functions performed by CFAs, defined as government organisations that carry out financial management functions for the whole of government. Using a political economy approach to the analysis of CFAs in ten case studies of low-income countries, the report identifies the principal constraints on the capability of CFAs as: interventions by the head of the state, sometimes outside the provisions of the constitution and budget law, in executive decisions on the institutional arrangements and fiscal policy; deficiencies in management, ranging from excessively centralised and hierarchical decision-making processes to poor staff management and record keeping; and inadequate coordination among donors - and between donors and their clients in finance and planning ministries - in designing and implementing strategies for reforming CFAs and PFM systems. Drawing on results of the cross-country survey of CFAs, the first of its kind, the report presents evidence and offers explanations for an inverted U-curve for the concentration of central finance functions across country income groups. In low-income countries, CFA functions are often poorly defined and may be performed by agencies other than the Finance Ministry, leading to fragmented and inconsistent policy implementation. Middle income countries tend to concentrate central finance functions in the Finance Ministry to strengthen their control. In high-income countries, Finance Ministries tend to retain control of policy but delegate operational functions to specialised agencies. The report will be of interest to country authorities seeking to improve coordination across central finance functions and other stakeholders in the reform process

Many of the companies appraisers work with don t have meaningful forecasts, and even if they do, they often contain unreliable assumptions. Appraisers are often faced with the choice between no forecast, adjusting a weak forecast or providing their own. All of these options have their downsides, and no one can accurately predict the future. But short of abandoning the income approach all together, there are steps appraisers can take to ensure they have provided a meaningful forecast in their valuation. This new report from BVR provides tips and strategies appraisers can use to address management projection issues. Included in the report are recent court decisions where management projections were at the core of dispute.

Scholarly Research Paper from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Controlling, printed single-sided, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Essen, language: English, abstract: Creation of shareholder value; this simple idea has become a principle of corporate governance over the past fifty years (Lazonick et al, 2000). Managers shall maximize the value of their business by efficiently allocating resources and hence increase the wealth of shareholders (Worthington et al, 2001). The operationalization of this objective is done by various indicators. Shareholders, managers and other interested parties strongly follow these in order to assess business and predict future performance. EVA is one of these indicators. The following paper presents the concept and measurement behind the trademark EVA. It is practically applied for the company Fresenius in a simplified way. Theoretical and practical analyses reveal strengths and weaknesses of measurement and concept. In general it can be said that EVA is one approach to identify value creation and degrading. The concept can be used for investment decisions as well as performance appraisal. Main disadvantage has been identified to be a high degree of complexity in order to derive the true EVA. If adjustments are not made the measurement appears to be similar to other residual income indicators.

Profits Are Donated To The Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC. No Credit? Bad Credit? Average Credit? Just Want To Learn About Finance? Well, congratulations because you have found the right book. Not even the table of contents can show all the lessons contained within this book meant to help consumers fight all types of financial problems just as Danny Singh fights for his mother including avoiding a foreclosure, reclaiming a repossessed car, fixing credit, avoiding deceptive loans as well as checking accounts filled with fees, and getting denied credit applications approved. In response to the student loans crisis looming in America and as a community college student himself, Danny advocates going to a community or state college and doing the maximum number of classes is the best financial decision that can be made versus getting into $100,000 of debt. Without needing bogus and expensive credit repair agencies, Danny will emphasize the most effective debt repayment plans and methods to save money on everyday purchases allowing for consumers to be debt free in months instead of years. Besides student loan debt, Danny expresses credit unions are the solution for consumers to effectively pay off any type of debt such as credit cards, auto loans, and mortgages. Being debt free will cause their insurance premiums to decrease and chances of better employment to increase in addition to living lives free of bankruptcy and debt in which saving for retirement and other financial goals will be a breeze. Despite the financial conditions of a consumer or the economy, perfect credit is never impossible and Danny proves this in Finance 101: The Whiz Kid's Perfect Credit Guide If the knowledge in this book does not boost your credit scores and bank account balances then feel free to return or sell it.

SME's - the future of the Global Economy...Here you will explore new insights concerning "organisational effectiveness," and the relationship of the preceding with entrepreneurial orientation, market orientation, sales force performance, and sales organisation effectiveness in Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SME's). The foregoing represents a daunting challenge, in that these areas contain psychological as well as motivational facets, in addition to the organisational precepts. The cross-organisational implications, impacts, effects and influences are both subtle as well as profound, with the more successful enterprises employing both facets to maximize their success.

The ways in which managers communicate information to capital market participants go far beyond financial statement numbers. Managers communicate economically relevant information both verbally, in documents distributed and available to investors, and non-verbally, through meetings and conference calls with analysts and investors. Over the past five years, the advances in computational linguistic software and the availability of large repositories of corporate text have facilitated an explosion of studies examining the information contained in verbal communication from management. Speech Analysis in Financial Markets reviews research on the information contained in nonverbal communication that occurs in organizational contexts and explores ways in which accounting researchers can draw useful insights from investigating managerial nonverbal communication. It focuses on non-verbal communication from voice with a particular emphasis on discussing voice analysis from the standpoint of a researcher interested in conducting empirical archival assessments. After an introduction, section 2 discusses the research approaches to speech analysis and the importance of identifying speech corpus. Section 3 reviews the existing literature on voice analysis in accounting and finance primarily focused on management communication. Section 4 details the challenges to the literature, and offers some directions for future research, and section 5 offers concluding remarks.

With all the bad press about collection agencies how do you decide which one to use or if you should use one at all? This short book will help business owners make an educated decision about which collection agency they want representing their business and the most efficient ways to work with an agency to get the best return. I will also talk about the red flags that can tell you that you need a collection agency, signs to look for, what to expect and how using a collection agency can affect your business. Failing to have a collection agency hired and ready to collect on your past due accounts before it is needed is the biggest mistake business owners make in collections. This short book is critical for anyone who needs to hire a collection agency but does not know how to do it or what to look for.

Business and banking problems that spread nation-wide in the United States, such as that we are enduring now, have all been caused by government and its regulations. From 1819 to 2007 there have been 22 major downturns and in every instance, government, operating outside the limits set by the Founders, caused the problem. There have been many failures of businesses and banks and many examples of improper activities, but absolutely nothing business has ever done has affected wide areas of the economy; business failures have only affected the company, its associates, and customers or clients. The economy of the United States of America has surpassed that of the rest of the world because of the free-market system and its protection by the Founders limits. As an engineer during the 1860s and 1870s, and my work with other nations' engineers and manufacturers, it was obvious that we were substantially ahead of Europe and the rest of the world in technology and automated processes. And it has been widely acknowledged that we are fortunate to live in the United States, but details have been lacking on how fortunate -- and what bought it about. This book explains the makeup of the market place, describes the successes it has brought to the country, and explains why. It also examines the current economic problems, explains how the government caused them, and proposes changes in regulations that would minimize them in the future. It also explains the international regulations that caused problems for nations overseas. Government, working outside limits set by the Constitution, has caused all the problems. The book explains what enabled the activities, and proposes changes in governmental makeup to minimize past problems and others.

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Controlling, grade: 2,0, The FOM University of Applied Sciences, Hamburg, course: Master of Business Administration, language: English, comment: Appendix one contains a risk report of Fresenius Medical Care., abstract: At the beginning of this millenium several economic scandals like Enron or WorldCom shocked the US economy and the stock exchanges around the world. To restore the trust of the investors the US government enacted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This act increased the demands on the financial reporting of companies registered at the US Securities and Exchange Commission. This act possibly changed also the accounting measurement practices that are less conservative in the US than in other countries. This assignment analysis if the accounting measurement practices changed to a more conservative accounting after the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This analysis is mainly based on section 404 of this act. Beyond that the assignment gives an overview about the Sarbanes-Oxley Act itself and the value of conservative accounting.

Multinational taxation is an area of research that encompasses academics in accounting, finance and economics. In particular, researchers are interested in determining whether taxation alters where multinational corporations (MNCs) operate their businesses. A review of the literature on foreign direct investment provides clear support for taxes influencing MNCs' location decisions. In addition, MNCs appear to organize themselves in a manner to increase the amount of their profits invested in relatively lightly taxed jurisdictions. By altering the location and the character of income across jurisdictions, MNCs are able to reduce their tax burdens. The natural extension of these lines of research, then, is determining the welfare consequences of MNCs' sensitivity to taxation. Taxation of Multinational Corporations aggregates the large body of international tax literature succinctly in one location. Very little of what is incorporated in this piece is novel. Rather, it borrows heavily from those researchers who have focused their careers on understanding taxation in the multinational context. Unfortunately, because much of the research in this area is dominated by work involving U.S. data, the paper is also quite U.S.-centric. However, many countries' multinational tax rules are quite similar. This is primarily attributable to the conformity generated in tax treaties based on the model treaty outlined by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). So, although there is variation in specific tax rules across jurisdictions, the basic tax systems are very homogeneous. Taxation of Multinational Corporations begins by outlining all of the details of taxing multinational firms (Section II). The author then discusses the theory and the related research on the role of taxation on foreign direct investment and remittances of profits into the home country (Section III). Section IV describes the incentives to undertake income shifting and/or transfer pricing. Section V addresses some of the non-tax considerations, including financial accounting, of foreign investment decisions. Current developments in the multinational tax policy are reviewed in Section VI.
