Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces accountants and managers to an historical perspective of corporate financial reporting to employees. It presents a resource for research and practice based upon a literature that for its pre-1970 decades has been largely unfamiliar to contemporary educators, researchers and practitioners alike. In addition the pieces not only provide an historical view of issues and arguments, but of actual reporting practice and audience responses. For the students and researcher, these readings offer a first-hand glimpse into the intentions of employee report producers, the critiques of observers at the time, and the requirements of employees in some instances. For report producers, managers and accountants, it reveals some of the reporting traditions that we have inherited today as well as reporting practices that have already been recommended, tried and tested in the past. The readings selected cover a sixty year period from the 1920s through to the close of the 1970s, with the exception of the first contribution by Lewis, Parker and Sutcliffe (1984) that serves as the historical overview and analysis for the whole text.

Understanding Corporate Annual Reports allows readers to appreciate the complete implications of a corporate annual report.

This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Content Analysis of Annual Reports for Corporate Strategy and Risk Using accounting measures of risk and return relates our study only obliquely to modern finance theory which utilizes market returns to investors for both of these measures. This point will be touched on later but it can be pointed out that studies by Beaver, Kettler, and Scholes [1970] demonstrated that the accounting measures and the market measures for firm risk are highly correlated, even including the partial correlations with the market as a whole. In fact it is unlikely that the negative correlation paradox will exist in the securities markets, for the reason that the markets can and do compensate for the higher return and lower variance by pricing such a security at a higher level, thus lowering the subsequent returns. In other words, the market masks such a paradox. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Steel Corporation, formed in 1901, was the first company in the United States financial markets to be capitalized at the billion dollar level. Its iconic role in the industrial economy of the country has been studied from several dimensions. This research proposes to examine fully the reporting outcomes for the company. Previous content analysis projects [Claire (1945), Vangermeersch (1970, 1979)] have examined shorter periods of US Steel's external reporting. However, this study will examine a complete set of the company's annual reports from 1902 to 2006, in hard copy and digital formats. It is motivated by an interest in establishing an historical perspective for a question posed by Ross Watts, "Why do financial reports take their current form?" (Watts, 1977, 2006) The study is initiated with the undertaking of traditional, manual content analysis of the annual report data set. In this process, five separate eras of financial reporting were identified throughout a century of annual reports. The eras identified are: 1) The Gary Years; 2) The Transition Years; 3) The Voorhees/Tyson Years; 4) The Evolution Years; and 5) The Cost-Effective Years. Each of these eras are distinctive in their reporting style and corporate financial information which was emphasized and reported. Next, a model-based method of content analysis was developed and performed using structured equations in an attempt to identify external variables which may have influenced the content, display, and tone of the annual reports over the period of the study. This analysis did not produce significant results; however, the process of developing the model and analysis of the reports provides a promising pathway for future exploration of single company data sets by clarifying the limitations of such modeling for long periods of time. The findings altogether assist in improving an understanding of the managerial ideology of the company toward public reporting which appears to have evolved from a stewardship model of corporate reporting to a contract model consistent with the changing configuration of capital providers and management's view of the information needs of such providers.

Download or read book Annual Reports written by John Stittle and published by Gower Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2003 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concentrates on ensuring that the 'corporate message' is communicated to stakeholders in a way that maximises the value of the annual report and outlines how this might best be achieved. It explains the importance not only of the quantitative (accounting) information but also the qualitative content such as the chairman's statement, directors' report, operating and financial review, explanatory notes and so on. Particular recognition is given to the legal, stock exchange and professional accounting requirements as well as to the increasingly important but more discretionary areas of content such as social, environmental and ethical reporting issues. Crucially, the book discusses the importance of electronic communication now that legislation allows companies to deliver information over the internet.On a practical level, the book takes the reader through the procedures and processes in actually managing the preparation and production of the report. Both the practical and theoretical aspects of the book are placed in context by the use of relevant extracts taken from 'real-life' annual reports of major organisations. By using these authentic examples the book clearly highlights what works and what doesn't.Ensure that your company's annual reports conform to the highest standards of best practice. Don't waste the opportunity to deliver your message.
