Download or read book Debited Credited and Accounted written by Maria Victoria Q. Caparas and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-10-06 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no business that can survive without an accountant to provide the necessary information for management decisions. But as a useful tool, accounting has its obvious limitations that are keenly perceived more by the non-accountants. To wit, the business cannot thrive with it only as a trade tool. It cannot measure and record everything that sustains a business. And although the debits might equal the credits, the employees may be highly dissatisfied. Debited, Credited and Accounted exalts accounting's strengths while pointing out its weaknesses. Using real-life examples, the author proposes a bridge between accounting and human behavior, thus enriching both the hard and soft sides of business. For business students, the book promises to make accounting concepts less frighteningly technical and more down-to-earth. For accounting professionals, Debited, Credited and Accounted offers a light way to extend their specialized knowledge to an equally challenging business facet of managing human behavior.

Download or read book Behavioral Accounting written by Ahmed Riahi-Belkaoui and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1989-05-23 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is useful, readable and intelligent survey of the emerging field of behavioral accounting, a field that is doing much to narrow the gap between accounting and behavioral scholars and practitioners. Personnel Psychology The relatively new field of behavioral accounting relies on the application of behavioral concepts from the social sciences for an understanding of the forces that underlie the accounting environment. Here, Belkaoui presents the first comprehensive survey of behavioral accounting theories and findings, organizing them into a systematic framework for the further study of behavioral accounting issues and questions. The result is a new understanding of the behavioral environment of accounting and a guide to solving practical behavioral problems that result from the preparation and use of accounting information. As Belkaoui demonstrates, the quality of accounting information is often adversely affected by human perceptions, attitudes, predispositions, and other behavioral characteristics. Belkaoui fully explores the behavioral underpinnings of the problem by examining the behavioral dimensions of a wide range of accounting issues and practices including: contingency approaches to the design of accounting systems; functional and data fixation; the practice of slack; accounting and language; goal setting, participative budgeting and performance; the human resource considerations in public accounting firms; and, finally, cultural determinism in accounting. By offering both a realistic appraisal of the theories behind behavioral accounting and a cogent statement of the questions still left unanswered, Belkaoui makes a major contribution to the ongoing inquiry into the influence of behavioral factors on accounting practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The psychology classic—a detailed study of scientific theories of human nature and the possible ways in which human behavior can be predicted and controlled—from one of the most influential behaviorists of the twentieth century and the author of Walden Two. “This is an important book, exceptionally well written, and logically consistent with the basic premise of the unitary nature of science. Many students of society and culture would take violent issue with most of the things that Skinner has to say, but even those who disagree most will find this a stimulating book.” —Samuel M. Strong, The American Journal of Sociology “This is a remarkable book—remarkable in that it presents a strong, consistent, and all but exhaustive case for a natural science of human behavior…It ought to be…valuable for those whose preferences lie with, as well as those whose preferences stand against, a behavioristic approach to human activity.” —Harry Prosch, Ethics

Download or read book Accounting Evaluation and Economic Behavior written by Raymond J. Chambers and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1960s and 1970s a remarkable series of books was produced by academic staff in the field of accounting at the University of Sydney. It was a period when academic research was largely analytical rather than empirically-based. For the most part, the interests of academics at Sydney were largely directed at questioning the status quo - either in the way accounting or auditing was practiced, or in the conventional wisdom expressed in textbooks of the time. The Sydney Accounting Classics series reflects the diversity of interests of the 'Sydney school' at that time. It also recognises the tremendous impact of the foundation professor of accounting, R.J. Chambers. This reprint series ensures that the ideas developed during this period remain available to new generations of scholars and researchers. The Sydney Accounting Classics series is an initiative of the Accounting Foundation, in association with Sydney University Press. Accounting Evaluation and Economic Behavior: This book has been referred to as Chambers' magnum opus, a meticulously researched and argued work describing a framework for accounting practice. This reprint edition opens the way for a new generation of researchers and scholars to read Chambers' work.
