Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The agency theory of Jensen and Meckling (1976) and theory of agency cost of free cash flows by Jensen in (1986) states that companies with surplus free cash flows always tend to face conflict of interest between managers and shareholders. This conflict arises due to the separation of ownership and control. Jenson (1987) also put forward the theory of free cash flows (FCF) in which he investigated that agency problem is arises between the shareholder and manager due to FCF. Mangers are agent of the shareholders, and due to the high self-interested parties, there is a serious conflict between them. This paper investigates the impact of free cash flows and agency costs on firm performance and also examines the impact of free cash flow on agency cost. We used the data of financial and non-financial companies listed on Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE 100 index) for the period of 2008 to 2013. Return on asset, return on equity, stock return and Tobin's used as dependent variables and free cash flows and agency costs as independent variables. Agency costs cannot be measure directly, so we used five proxy variables, total asset turnover, operating cost ratio, administrative and selling expenses ratio, operating income volatility and net income volatility to measure agency cost. Firm size and debt ratio are control variables. We used panel regression model and Hausman (1978) test for the analysis of the data. The results of the study shows that free cash flows have a positive and significant impact on the firm performance. Agency cost has a negative and significant impact on firm performance. Furthermore free cash flows have a significant impact on agency cost. Our results are in favor of agency theory by (Jensen and Meckling, 1976) and free cash flow theory by (Jensen, 1987). The study provides a better understanding of the association among free cash flow, agency cost and firm performance. The study conclude that free cash flows enhance the firm performance but excess free cash flows create the agency problem due to this the conflict of interest increased between owner and management because of such conflict firm performance decrease.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managerial cost accounting is the financial and managerial tool that is used to estimate the organizational cost of products and services in business and government. In recent decades, cost accounting in the United States and other advanced industrial countries has been dominated by discussions of Activity Based Costing or ABC. While ABC can be shown to produce a more accurate estimate of cost than older and more basic types of cost accounting, ABC is not used extensively in many governments. We argue that this recent focus on ABC has stifled examination and discussion of how government cost accounting is being used and how it could be used in practice. The study of cost accounting practice reveals an important and underexplored area of financial management in government. Given the scandals that cost accounting estimates can create and that different types of cost accounting can create different estimates of cost it may be reasonable to ask whether the cost accounting exercise is worth it? Cost Accounting in Government: Theory and Applications addresses these unusual and unusually important topics through a series of studies of different government cost accounting practices. The first section of the book presents two chapters on the history and basic elements of cost accounting. The second section of the book provides further discussion and case studies of actual cost accounting practices in the main areas that cost accounting has been used in government: benchmarking the performance of government services, rate setting, grant overhead cost recovery, and cost management. The last two chapters discuss cost accounting practices in Europe and the future of cost accounting. These cases span local and federal governments and provide a much needed context to the study of cost accounting in government. Aimed at academics, researchers and policy makers in the fields of Accounting, Public Administration, and Government Studies, Cost Accounting in Government: Theory and Applications seeks to address the practical and theoretical gap in government cost accounting research with case studies of different public agencies that are using cost accounting for different purposes. The case studies illustrate that different purposes for cost accounting create unique and interesting cost accounting practices. The case studies provide useful examples of actual cost accounting systems that can inform both research and instruction

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Performance Review (NPR), issued in September 1993, contained 384 recommendations that covered 27 federal agencies and 14 government systems, and was intended to make the government "work better and cost less." The NPR subsequently identified a series of 1,203 action items necessary to implement these recommendations. In its September 1995 report, NPR said that agencies reported to it that nearly one-third or 380, of the action items had been completed. This report reviews the completion status of the 380 action items that NPR said were completed.
