This textbook introduces the essential principles of financial
accounting to non-accounting students, written for an international
audience with global case studies and a suite of learning features.
Using terminology which is compliant with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS), Financial Accounting and Reporting for
Non-Accounting Students covers topics such as the statement of
financial position, profit and loss statements, non-current assets,
inventory valuation and the statement of cashflows. It also
provides a roadmap for performance appraisal and presents the
subjective nature of financial accounting and the impact of bias in
financial reporting. Real-world case studies from Huawei, Ryanair
and Greggs illustrate the principles discussed in the book and a
fictional performance appraisal case study demonstrates how
financial metrics can be applied to analyse the effects of new
entrants on an incumbent's operating performance. With over 300
multiple-choice questions, 44 extended problems and more than 90
questions to enable deep learning in the fundamental aspects of
this core business subject, Financial Accounting and Reporting for
Non-Accountings Students is a key textbook for undergraduate and
postgraduate students taking modules on financial accounting and
reporting or introductory modules in accounting.
Recognising the importance of diversity, belonging and equity is
not enough. This book has the practical guidance needed to think
differently and make true inclusion a reality. Edited by Stephen
Frost, a leading voice in the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)
space, this book is a must-have for all those who know that
achieving inclusion at work is important but don't know where to
start. It covers how to be more inclusive as an individual by
changing your mindset and building your cultural intelligence as
well as how to develop more inclusive teams by adapting management
practice and environments whatever the size or structure of your
business. The Key to Inclusion also provides tools, strategies and
advice on inclusion at an organizational level through inclusive
strategy, leadership, governance, data, systems and processes.
Supported by real-world examples, interviews and case studies from
BBC, the UK National Health Service (NHS), AstraZeneca and
LinkedIn, this book looks beyond inclusion in the present to
examine inclusion in the future and particularly in tech, financial
services and TV. With chapters from a diverse group of expert
voices, this book is crucial reading for all HR professionals and
business leaders who are looking to deliver true inclusion as
individuals, in their teams, in their organizations and
communities.

FINALIST: Business Book Awards 2020 - An Exceptional Book That
Promotes Diversity Category LONGLISTED: CMI Management Book of the
Year 2020 - Society Transformed Category A diverse workforce is a
business imperative. Without it, companies are made up of employees
who come from the same background and have the same skills and,
therefore, the same blind spots. A diverse workforce brings
together different strengths, a variety of experiences, a huge
breadth of knowledge and a wealth of creative problem-solving
techniques. However, in order to leverage the benefits of this
diverse workforce, businesses must be inclusive. Inclusion ensures
that employees feel supported, are treated fairly and are therefore
happier, more engaged and more productive. Building an Inclusive
Organization is a practical guide to creating an environment of
real inclusion. It explains how to remove unconscious bias from
company processes including recruitment and selection, how to make
the case for diversity and inclusion to all stakeholders and how to
embed inclusion into an organization's culture and overall business
strategy. Packed with case studies from organizations including
KPMG, Uber, Salesforce, Harvard University and the UK National
Health Service (NHS), Building an Inclusive Organization shows how
to implement robust processes and policies to foster diversity and
inclusion in organizations of any size, and in all sectors,
including the creative industry, finance, tech, and academia and
foundations. Guidance and advice is also provided on how to use
'nudges' to change behaviours and overcome bias, how to achieve
transparency and accountability, and how to measure, review and
evaluate inclusion.
SHORTLISTED: CMI Management Book of the Year 2017 - Practical
Manager Category Organizations traditionally have had a clear
distinction between their policies on diversity and inclusion and
their talent management. The main driving force behind diversity
and inclusion has been being seen to be a good employer, to be able
to make claims in the annual report and to feel as though a
positive contribution is being made to society. On the other hand,
talent management activities have been driven by a real business
need to ensure that the organization has the right people with the
right skills in the right place to drive operational success.
Inclusive Talent Management aligns talent management and diversity
and inclusion, offering a fresh perspective on why the current
distinction between them needs to disappear. Featuring case studies
from internationally recognised brands such as Goldman Sachs,
Unilever, KPMG, Hitachi, Oxfam and the NHS, Inclusive Talent
Management shows that to achieve business objectives and gain the
competitive advantage, it is imperative that organizations take an
inclusive approach to talent management. It puts forward a
compelling and innovative case, raising questions not only for the
HR community but also to those in senior management positions,
providing the practical steps, global examples and models for
incorporating diversity and inclusion activities into talent
management strategy.

The Inclusion Imperative showcases the inspiring commitment to
inclusion the London Olympic and Paralympic Games' organizing
committee espoused, and details the techniques and frameworks that
enabled it to truly deliver a 'Games for everyone' at London 2012.
Diversity and inclusion expert, Stephen Frost, challenges
preconceived ideas and strives to inspire professionals to tackle
inclusion in their organizations with courage, creativity and
talent. With highly relatable examples, The Inclusion Imperative
constitutes the best argument to convince sceptics that real
diversity and inclusion can deliver more engaged employees and
customers, improved employee recruitment and retention, increase
productivity and better group decision-making processes. Real
inclusion saves money and improves efficiency in the systems of an
organisation, making the world a better place as a by-product.
Building on concepts that include Diversity 3.0, detailed process
journeys, and procurement governance, this is a must-read for HR
and diversity officers frustrated with the guidance currently
available, as well as for anyone who recognizes the legacy of the
2012 Games in fostering a tolerant and diverse society.
