Five stories of love and obsession with passion winning at the end
The main objective of this book is to explicate the various models
that can be used to assign value to countries, people, wealth,
assets, liabilities and equity.
The stories deal with the toll caused by love and obsession. In the
first story, labeled MEKTOUB (WRITTEN), a woman becomes obsessed
with her daughter's lover. Fate, which brought her to this
obsessive state, results in disaster. In the second story, labeled
SHAME, a middle-aged curator falls in love with his sister-in-law.
He sees his life shattered by his own irrational actions. His life
will go on, delivered, but with shame. In the third story, labeled
CONJUGAL BLUES, a man is called on to solve the murders of homeless
men as well as the problem of the disappearance of his wife and
thwart the actions of a group bent on destroying a landmark. The
story resounds to the throbbing beat of Chicago blues as it
explores the dark sides of conjugal love.
This book argues for the superiority of value added eporting. It is
argued that value added is an ideal concept for the measurement of
wealth, financial analysis, event and behavioral prediction, and
taxation policy.
Social status is the ultimate object of desire. Learning what it
means, its antecedents, and its consequences will help the reader
adjust his or her life to secure its benefits and avoid its costs.
The novel is about a Chicago triangle. In one corner of the
three-sided affair is the beautiful Sherazade Downing, whose life
is haunted by violence. The second member of the triad is Samir
Zribi, a handsome foreign curator, whose objective is to recreate
his student into his own design. Sherazade acquiesces to his
teaching, both spiritual and physical. Samir obtains for her a job
interview with the alderman-Frank Camelli-who completes the
triangle- a member of the museum's board of directors and Chairman
of the Cook County Democratic party and machine. Sherazade loves
Samir and Frank both, but for different reasons. The rivals are
consumed by their desires for her distracted from their respective
world. The solution: Sherazade must die, and die she does not. She
is saved by both lovers from an attempt to kill her by her father's
murderer.
The mix of debt and equity called capital structure,
representing major claims against a corporation's assets, has been
the subject of a long debate focusing on its determination,
evaluation, and accounting. Riahi-Belkaoui uses both theoretical
and contingency approaches to examine the question of whether
capital structure really can be determined. Using a bond rating
model he looks at the evaluation of capital structure and the
resolution of issues pertaining to equity and liabilities and their
contribution to the quality of capital structure reports. The book
will be of special value to corporate financial officers and to
graduate students and their teachers in accounting and finance.
Riahi-Belkaoui presents, first, the popular theories underlying
the potential optimality of capital structure, the most popular of
which is based on agency costs, asymmetric information,
product/input market interactions and corporate control
considerations. He then examines the same problem, first under a
contingency of diversification and then a contingency of
multinationality and investment opportunity. Since the evolution of
capital structure rests on the ratings of a corporation's bonds,
Riahi-Belkaoui offers a model that can be used for the prediction
of industrial bond ratings. He concludes with an examination for
equity and accounting for long-term liabilities.
A well developed system of internatinal accounting is essential,
if an accounting order, one that serves as a basis and guarantee
for the conduct of business and economic growth, is to be created.
Similarly, essential to the creation of an economic order is
economic development. Riahi-Belkaoui explicates the relationship
between accounting and economic order and between that and the
determinants of accounting development. He then studies the
relationship between accounting and economic development, and
between their respective determinants. Accountants, specialists and
executives concerned with economic development will find the book
an important addition to their most necessary professional
resources.
Riahi-Belkaoui provides evidence for the determinants and
implications of economic development, and the role and the
determinants of disclosure adequacy along seven dimensions: human
and economic development; political, financial, and economic risk;
human and economic development; managerial, academic, and
professional influences; welfare of the common man; economic,
political, and civil indicators, and the determinants for
predicting performance of earnings forecasts. He also examines the
role of country return and risk in such matters as disclosure
adequacy, the prediction of performance of earnings forecasts, and
the levels of financial disclosure by European firms. He then
discusses the role and impact of cultural determinism and its
affect on the systematic risk of global stock exchanges,
compensation practices, professional self-regulation in attounting.
and the perception of accounting concepts.
