Download or read book Accounting with Heart written by Wang Jun and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-11-28 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Western world, examination of business and finance can often be a dry enterprise. Wang Jun shows, through this extraordinary collection of writings, both the breadth of his world view and the connections which surely exist between the finance, the arts, philosophy and culture. His is a singular voice, which takes the reader beyond the normal realm of finance discourse. —Helen Brand, Chief Executive, ACCA If China, rapidly becoming one of the world's leading economies, is now equipped with the accounting tools and skills to take its rightful place on the global business stage, it is largely a tribute to the vision and leadership of my colleague Wang Jun. I am delighted that the publication of this book will enable an international audience to hear him speak for himself. —Sir David Tweedie, Chairman, International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) This insider's look at the inner workings of China comes from an author who has seen the growth of the modern accounting profession from the start to the present day, as his country prepares for the age of global accounting and auditing standards. Wang Jun's stories of the growth of accountancy in China—and its importance to the expansion of his country's economy—are first and foremost about the cultivation of talent, but also about the importance of accounting standards, ethics and knowledge structures. At an historic juncture during which China "takes a greater leap, exerts a greater influence and pursues excellence," as Mr. Wang puts it, it is good to see that it expects professionals who are well above the ordinary. —Robert L. Bunting, President, International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) This book is a remarkable testimony to how China elaborated its voluntary policy toward adopting International Financial Reporting Standards. Education and ethics are central in Mr. Wang's erudite addresses, in which he develops a philosophical dissertation based on the lessons of the past and dedicated to promoting the personal and professional values necessary in the pursuit of excellence in a global environment. —Hans van Damme, President of the Federation of European Accountants (FEE) Accounting with Heart energizes, encourages and guides readers to mobilize their passion for learning and the pursuit of excellence; to develop their abilities, management skills, and professional and ethical standards to meet the challenges of globalization; and to take the accountancy profession to new heights. Wang Jun has poured his vast experience into this book which will enrich readers in their striving to become outstanding professionals. —Kamlesh Vikamsey, Former President, Confederation of Asian & Pacific Accountants Accounting with Heart reflects Wang Jun's vision for the development of the accountancy profession in China, a goal in which he has invested significant effort. Just as China is a global market, it is fitting that Chinese accountants play an increasingly important role in the international arena. We welcome that progress and recognize it as an important step for the accountancy profession. —Tim Flynn, Chairman, KPMG China's role in international finance and business, the subtitle of Vice Minister Wang Jun's insightful new book, is one of the big stories of the twenty-first century. To really understand what's happening in China, one must appreciate the way of thinking of Chinese senior officials, and that's the deep value of Accounting with Heart. Emerging from the core of China's monumental transformation, this is a masterful work of personal journey and wise reflection. Anyone dealing with China will profit from its timeless principles and subtle force. —Robert Lawrence Kuhn, Author, How China's Leaders Think Wang Jun brings his enormous experience and understanding of China to his book Accounting with Heart. He has a unique perspective of the development of the economy in China and the role that the accounting profession plays in his country. His commitment to transparency, global standards and integrity are clear in this collection of essays by one of the leading minds in China and across the world. More importantly, Wang Jun's essays outline a roadmap for the development of accounting thought leaders within China while building the framework for educating the next generation of the thousands of professionals within China. It is a must-read for those doing business in all emerging markets. —Sam DiPiazza Jr., CEO, PwC Limited

Download or read book Accounting for Social Risk Factors in Medicare Payment written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent health care payment reforms aim to improve the alignment of Medicare payment strategies with goals to improve the quality of care provided, patient experiences with health care, and health outcomes, while also controlling costs. These efforts move Medicare away from the volume-based payment of traditional fee-for-service models and toward value-based purchasing, in which cost control is an explicit goal in addition to clinical and quality goals. Specific payment strategies include pay-for-performance and other quality incentive programs that tie financial rewards and sanctions to the quality and efficiency of care provided and accountable care organizations in which health care providers are held accountable for both the quality and cost of the care they deliver. Accounting For Social Risk Factors in Medicare Payment is the fifth and final report in a series of brief reports that aim to inform ASPE analyses that account for social risk factors in Medicare payment programs mandated through the IMPACT Act. This report aims to put the entire series in context and offers additional thoughts about how to best consider the various methods for accounting for social risk factors, as well as next steps.
Download or read book Accounting for Health and Health Care written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-05 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has become trite to observe that increases in health care costs have become unsustainable. How best for policy to address these increases, however, depends in part on the degree to which they represent increases in the real quantity of medical services as opposed to increased unit prices of existing services. And an even more fundamental question is the degree to which the increased spending actually has purchased improved health. Accounting for Health and Health Care addresses both these issues. The government agencies responsible for measuring unit prices for medical services have taken steps in recent years that have greatly improved the accuracy of those measures. Nonetheless, this book has several recommendations aimed at further improving the price indices.

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Accounting Ethics written by Eileen Z. Taylor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perspective of this book is to present "ethics" as a conversation about how we decide what is good or bad, right or wrong. It is a collection of conversations employed by educators to assist accounting students in developing their understanding of accounting's ethical aspects and to help them develop into critical thinkers who consider the ethical complexities of the function of accounting in human society. Because we are social beings, ethics is a central human concern, since it involves determining the ethicality of human actions and their effect on other individuals, as well as determining the collective societal acceptance or rejection of an action. Thus, the book’s primary goal is to call attention to the intersectionality of accounting and ethics and to encourage students and researchers to consider the ethical implications of accounting decisions. The book contains a diversity of perspectives within which discussions of accountants' and accounting's ethical responsibilities may occur. The contributing authors were deliberately chosen for their diverse perspectives on whence moral guidance for accounting may come. Each chapter stands on its own and represents the thinking of its authors. The book is not a primer on correct behavior for accountants but a place where educators may spur the conversation along.

Download or read book Accounting Innovation and Inter Organisational Relationships written by Martin Carlsson-Wall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful innovation is a true challenge and especially when today’s companies are intertwined in close inter-organisational relationships and networks with e.g. customers and suppliers. Research has indicated that accounting can play important roles in such innovation processes, but there is little in-depth systematic knowledge about this issue. Accounting, Innovation and Inter-Organisational Relationships gathers leading researchers from all around the world to argue for the importance of more systematic knowledge about accounting, innovation and inter-organisational relationships. Accounting, Innovation and Inter-Organisational Relationships thus becomes an important source for researchers and practitioners interested in accounting and inter-organisational relationships as well as the related disciplines of management, marketing, innovation and strategy.

Download or read book The Politics of Accounting Regulation written by Sebastian Botzem and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'How and why do transnational regulatory bodies emerge? How do they acquire the authority and confidence to be actors in their own right? These questions preoccupy scholars in many disciplines and Sebastian Botzem's The Politics of Accounting Regulation makes an important contribution to the debates. Focusing on the case of the International Accounting Standards Board over a critical period of its development including the financial crisis Botzem addresses its evolution as an organization which produces accounting standards and whose efforts to be outside politics are inevitably and irredeemably political in nature. This book is essential reading for sociologists, political scientists, accountants and anyone else interested in the organization of global governance.' Michael Power, London School of Economics, UK The financial crisis underlines the relevance of accounting standards as much more than instrumental rules for corporate reporting. This important book outlines the accounting standards that embody societal and professional values and contribute to the distribution of financial benefits that put international harmonization of standards into the limelight. Sebastian Botzem reveals that international standards have emerged after decades of contest and political bargaining which resulted in closely aligned standards, voluntary consultation procedures and a network structure comprising actors mainly stemming from global auditing firms, regulators and international organizations.
