As multinational firms struggle to compete in a global economy,
their operating and accounting decisions are being made in an
environment that's characterized by fluctuating exchange rates,
innovative and flexible organizational structures, and a dynamic
and diverse control strategy. As a result, managerial accounting
techniques have to adapt to this unique environment by devising new
ways to solve decision problems. This book explores the major
issues that accountants in multinational corporations, and their
outside consulting firms, must deal with if they are to understand
how the corporation is performing financially, and if they are to
effectively advise top management.
To describe the specific environment of multinational management
accounting and the particular accounting techniques required for
efficient operation, Ahmed Belkaoui divides his study into four
topical sections. The first offers an introductory overview of the
new international business environment and the extent of financial
engineering. Section two focuses on managing exchange rate risks,
and covers such issues as the management of foreign exchange risk,
the management of economic exposure, and the management of
transaction exposure. Organization and controlling are detailed in
section three, with separate chapters exploring the organizational
structures and control of multinational operations and performance
evaluation techniques. The final section examines management
accounting issues, including international financial analysis,
international capital budgeting, pricing strategies, the
lease-or-buy decision, and advanced capital budgeting. This work
will be an essential resource for accounting professionals working
in multinational organizations and the international business
environment, as well as for students in accounting and
international business courses. Public, academic, and business
libraries will all find it to be a valuable addition to their
collections.
