This book charts the regulatory changes at the heart of capitalist
economies; the financial reporting on financial markets. It is a
unique contribution interconnecting issues both of contemporary
political science and accounting research. The book contains
in-depth descriptions of regulatory settings (and changes) in six
countries: Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and
the United States and aims to takes a close look at drivers of
change such as crises and globalization. The book also links these
drivers of change with moderating institutional structures such as
the legal and financial systems, but also the welfare states in
place. Taken together, it shows how a trend to more
transnationalization in accounting emerges but also its likely
limits.
This book focuses on the recent transformations of national
accounting systems. It extends comparative accounting literature
using a new comprehensive framework, which embeds a governance
perspective throughout the financial reporting process. The authors
track transformations in standard setting, enforcement and
disclosure regulation over time in three typical OECD countries.
Modes and degrees of convergence illustrate where "global
governance" in accounting has already been achieved and where
national regulators still dominate the accounting agenda.
Much of Civil War history emphasizes generalship (or the lack of
it) as the key factor in analyzing why battles were won or lost.
Taking an innovative approach, this book focuses on six elements of
victory in nine important Western Theater engagements during
1862--a year when the North had not yet fully mobilized for war.
With increasing complexity on the battlefield and the enormous
growth of American armies, winning or losing depended upon
achieving as many of these six critical goals as possible: a clear
objective; mobilization of effective lieutenants; a competent
staff; seizing and holding initiative; deploying all available
resources; and realizing a successful strategic outcome. The more
goals achieved, the greater the victory.
By exploring how financial, legal and wider socio-economic systems
can accelerate or decelerate the harmonization in financial
markets, this book connects issues both of contemporary political
science and accounting research.
It is quite an onerous task to edit the proceedings of a two week
long institute with learned contributors from many parts of the
world. All the same, the editorial team has found the process of
refereeing and reviewing the contributions worthwhile and
completing the volume has proven to be a satisfying task. In
setting up the institute we had considered models and methods taken
from a number of different disciplines. As a result the whole
institute - preparing for it, attending it and editing the
proceedings - proved to be an intense learning experience for us.
Here I speak on behalf of the committee and the editorial team. By
the time the institute took place, the papers were delivered and
the delegates exchanged their views, the structure of the topics
covered and their relative positioning appeared in a different
light. In editing the volume I felt compelled to introduce a new
structure in grouping the papers. The contents of this volume are
organised in eight main sections set out below: 1 . Abstracts. 2.
Review Paper. 3. Models with Multiple Criteria and Single or
Multiple Decision Makers. 4. Use of Optimisation Models as Decision
Support Tools. 5. Role of Information Systems in Decision Making:
Database and Model Management Issues. 6. Methods of Artificial
Intelligence in Decision Making: Intelligent Knowledge Based
Systems. 7. Representation of Uncertainty in Mathematical Models
and Knowledge Based Systems. 8. Mathematical Basis for Constructing
Models and Model Validation.
This book takes a look at the world of accounting and examines
business's relationship with the state. It compares the accounting
regulations in Germany, the UK and the US to provide evidence that
privatization and convergence must be used with caution, at least
in the world of accounting.

A translation of the biography written by Pope Gregory the
Great, this official biography is also known as the Second Book of
Dialogues. It is the earliest and thus the most valuable biography
of St. Benedict.
