Die nationale und internationale Bankenbranche befindet sich in einer tiefgreifenden Umbruchsituation. Die Ausgangslage und die Perspektiven haben sich seit Beginn der Krise - die sich im Zeitverlauf von einer handfesten Finanz- und Bankenkrise zu einer ernsten Staaten- und Schuldenkrise entwickelt hat - nachhaltig verandert. Eine sich abzeichnende Verscharfung der Regularien des Bankgeschafts, die hauptsachlich erhoehte Kapital- und Liquiditatspolster umfassen, reicht vielen Kritikern nicht mehr aus. Der gesellschaftliche Druck steigt und ein Umdenken wird gefordert. In dieser Situation des Wandels stellt sich die Frage, wie Geschaftsmodelle gestaltet sein mussen, um erfolgreich zu sein. Womit werden sich Banken nachhaltig am Markt behaupten koennen? Was ist der richtige Weg, um das Geschaftsmodell in einem veranderten Umfeld zu starken? Dieses Buch zeigt, wie sich die Bankwirtschaft mit den Inhalten und der Zukunftsfahigkeit ihrer Geschaftsmodelle befasst. Nicht wenige Banken stehen vor gewaltigen Herausforderungen. Den Regulierungsanforderungen mussen alle Kreditinstitute angemessen begegnen, einige mussen sich neu (er-)finden und alle wiederum fur einen weiterhin intensiven Wettbewerb um Kapital und Kunden wappnen.

The study of behavioral decision making has recently expanded into the area of accounting and auditing. This branch of research seeks to understand the cognitive processes that govern such necessary functions as the pricing of products and services, evaluating corporate performance, granting credit to prospective borrowers, and investing in financial securities. In Judgment and Decision-Making Research in Accounting and Auditing, editors Robert and Alison Ashton present and review more than twenty years of research in decision-making science. The book analyzes the judgments that business managers, investors, auditors and creditors make daily; considers the assets and liabilities of applied decision making, and makes suggestions for future research. Accounting and auditing academics, researchers, practitioners and students who seek a survey of the field and its applications will find this to be a solid reference work.

What went wrong and how to fix it

"This is a book that well represents the skeptical, probing, and doubting spirit of the time. Professor Ketz explores the ways corporate management and auditors can ‘spin’ financial reporting to misinform investors. It is written so that the individual investor can grasp the ideas but will be useful for investment analysts and audit committee members who need a lively briefing in how to spot questionable accounting."
–– John H. Biggs
Former chairman and Chief Executive Officer

"Ed Ketz brilliantly illustrates how the improper application of accounting rules misleads users of financial statements. This book is an indispensable resource and greatly enhances one’s understanding of the many obscure footnotes found in today’s financial statements."
–– Albert Meyer

It is now painfully clear that "earnings management" has managed little, other than some short-term gain for a handful of managers and a long-term catastrophic erosion of the public faith in financial reporting. But it is not too late for the accounting industry to turn back from the brink. Edward Ketz lays out several specific problems in the financial reporting arena, describes how the system failed to correct any of these problems, and suggests a compelling course of action for improvement in Hidden Financial Risk: Understanding Off-Balance Sheet Accounting.

Chapter by chapter, Ketz explains how firms hide debt using:

• The equity method
• Lease accounting
• Pension accounting
• Special Purpose Entities

and then illustrates the failures of directors, auditors, regulators, and investors to detect and eliminate these tools of deception. He concludes by drawing upon his thirty years’ experience to propose how the industry can learn to identify fraud and ultimately restore investor confidence. Executives, accountants, and individual and institutional investors will find Hidden Financial Risk to be a powerful examination of the present, shifting accounting landscape.

Corporate success today is not based any more on production facilities and financial capital, but on invisible values - intangible assets - that include customer and business partner relationships, brands, ideas, and business processes, as well as an enterprise's culture, intellectual capital and innovation power. And new production factors require new enterprise management instruments. Which tools do executives and managers need today? How will companies be managed successfully to create sustainable value in the new era of "intellectual capitalism"? This book provides the answers.

"Just as the economy has moved from tangible to intangible, reporting on the economy will move from the tangible to the intangible. That's the migration from financial reporting to Balanced Scorecard reporting" (taken from the interview in the book) David P. Norton, co-author of the Balanced Scorecard

"Any company which just looks on financials and has a historic and short-term perspective, won't last long." (taken form the interview in the book) Leif Edvinsson, thought leader an pioneer in intellectual capital management, former director intellectual capital at Skandia in Sweden

"Business success of enterprises from all industries is based increasingly on their capability to innovate and to create sustaining relationships with business partners and customers. Through investments in these areas they create intangible assets which represent, beside their human capital, the core of their corporate value." (approved by Henning Kagermann) Prof. Dr. Henning Kagermann, Co-CEO SAP AG

"No one has a clearer understanding of valuation than does Al King. He knows the nuts and bolts of this subject, as well as its intricacies, because he has practiced his profession on the factory floor, in the boardroom, and in the courtroom. The mathematics of valuation is easy to understand. Applying the underlying principles to the ever-growing myriad of business assets and issues is very difficult. Only a handful of valuation professionals have the breadth of knowledge and experience necessary to meet that challenge. The author of this book is one of them, and he conveys that experience in a readable style. He writes as he speaks– clearly and to the point. Anyone who wishes to understand the appraisal process as it pertains to business assets needs this book." —Gordon V. Smith, President, AUS Consultants

"Al King’s Valuation: What Assets Are Really Worth aims to give the reader a deep understanding of what ‘value’ really means–and it succeeds brilliantly. King clearly explains why there is no single ‘correct’ value for many assets, using real-world examples to show that the intended purpose of a valuation must affect the result. Further, he offers examples of business problems (sometimes disasters!) caused by faulty understanding of value. Only someone with a truly deep understanding of the subject can explain it with such crystalline clarity." —Robert E. Esch, Retired Executive (General Management), Consultant, and President of Sarah Woods Traditions, Inc.

"What a wonderful, commonsense book for guys like me that covers the minefields of cost, price, and value. Every buyer or seller can gain many valuable insights from Al King’s engaging book." —Thomas Swanston, Executive Vice President, Bassett Furniture Industries

"As usual, Al King has distilled a somewhat complicated area into commonsense business analysis that we can all relate to. His book is a very worthwhile read for professionals and business owners looking to better understand valuation in the broadest sense, as well as how it applies to their particular situation. I highly recommend taking the time to read this book." —Mark Santarsiero, President, Marshall & Stevens

"Al King has taken a complex topic and separated it into easily understandable components, which he highlights with meaningful examples. The result is a resource that attorneys, accountants, and business people in general can use frequently to explain to clients both the importance of ‘valuation’ and the concepts which define it." —Sari Ann Strasburg, Pepe & Hazard LLP

"Al King has put his long and vast experience in the field of valuation and accounting to use in Valuation: What Assets are Really Worth. He uses extensive examples to delineate differences between cost, price, and value. He then proposes that future debate should lead to disclosure and use of ‘value’ on a continuous basis. This book has been authored by a true expert in this field." —Frank C. Minter, CPA, Chair, Institute of Management Accountants

Praise for the Fourth Edition of Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting

"Tommie and Aaron Singleton have made important updates to a book I personally rely very heavily upon: Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting (FAFA). In the newest edition, they take difficult topics and explain them in straightforward actionable language. All my students benefitted from reading the third edition of the FAFA to better understand the issues and area of fraud and forensic accounting. With their singular focus on understandability and practicality, this Fourth Edition of the book makes a very important contribution for academics, researchers, practitioners, and students. Bravo "--Dr. Timothy A. Pearson, Director, Division of Accounting, West Virginia University, Executive Director, Institute for Fraud Prevention

"Finally someone has written a book that combines fraud examination and forensic accounting. The authors have clearly explained both in their earlier edition and now they have enhanced the first with additional materials. The order in which the material is presented is easy to grasp and logically follows the 'typical' fraud examination from the awareness that something is wrong to the court case. The explanatory materials presented aid this effort by being both well placed within the book and relevant to the narrative." --Dr. Douglas E. Ziegenfuss, Chair and Professor, Department of Accounting, Old Dominion University

"Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting is a masterful compilation of the concepts found in this field. The organization of the text with the incorporation of actual cases, facts, and figures provides a logical and comprehensive basis for learning the intricacies of fraud examination and forensic accounting. The authors successfully blend the necessary basics with advanced principles in a manner that makes the book an outstanding resource for students and professionals alike."--Ralph Q. Summerford, President of Forensic/Strategic Solutions, PC

"Advances in Accounting Behavioral Research" publishes quality articles encompassing all areas of accounting that incorporate theory from and contribute knowledge and understanding to the fields of applied psychology, sociology, management science, and economics. The series promotes research that integrates accounting issues with organizational behavior, human judgment/decision making, and cognitive psychology. Volume 7 contains papers on a variety of behavioral accounting topics including tax, financial, audit, forensic, and managerial accounting. One paper in the area of taxation is an insightful look at the influence of the earned income tax credit in which the authors collected the data from low-income individual taxpayers. The other taxation paper examines the variables that influence tax professional judgments. This volume also contains a paper examining the behavioral implications of alternative going concern reporting formats, a particularly timely issue as many countries struggle with how to make financial reporting more transparent. Another study examines how forensic experts at professional service firms assess the factors that indicate financial statement fraud. Three research studies examining performance in a managerial setting are also reported. One investigates the differences between individual and collective budgeting decisions with respect to budgetary slack creation and task performance; a second examines conditions that affect budget team performance; and a third examines whether superiors who evaluate the performance of their subordinates consider information asymmetry. The final paper develops an assurance services model that identifies the gaps in expectations between users and providers of assurance services. Overall, these papers provide interesting insight into the problems examined.
