Download or read book External Audit Arrangements at Central Banks written by Mr.Atilla Arda and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper takes stock of external audit arrangements at central banks. Its focus is on the annual audit of central bank financial statements, as well as legal and institutional measures that support audit quality and independence. The paper outlines good practices in these areas and provides a summary of actual practices observed based on a review of audited financial statements and central bank legislation. While the audit frameworks for central banks differ depending on their legal and institutional circumstances, central banks’ external audits increasingly follow international standards. Most of them are audited by auditors with international affiliations and embrace modern governance structures that provide for audit oversight. However, the paper also notes that a sizeable number of central banks do not publish the audit results in a timely manner, which leaves room for improvement in transparency practices.

Download or read book Denmark written by International Monetary Fund. European Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2017 Article IV Consultation highlights the recovery of the Danish economy, which is approaching potential, despite growth in recent years that has been markedly slower than before the crisis. Unemployment is low and close to its estimated structural level, and capacity constraints are gradually starting to bind in some sectors. The coincidence of low output growth and increasingly binding constraints highlights Denmark’s reduced growth potential, reflecting structurally weak productivity growth and low domestic investment levels. The outlook is for continued moderate growth, projected at 1.5 percent in 2017 and 1.7 percent in 2018. Activity is expected to be driven by strong and increasingly balanced private demand.

Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Accounting History written by John Richard Edwards and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 814 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Accounting History presents a single-volume synthesis of research in this expanding field, exploring and analysing accounting from ancient civilisations to the modern day. No longer perceived as the narrow study of how a mysterious technique was used in past, the scope of accounting history has widened substantially. This revised and updated volume moves beyond the history of accounting technologies, accounting theories and practices and the accountants who applied them. Expert contributors from around the world explore the interfaces between accounting and the economy, society, culture and the polity. Accounting history is shown to offer important insights into such disparate phenomena as the evolution of capitalism, control of labour, gender and family relationships, racial exploitation, the operation of religious organisations, and the functioning of the state. Illuminating the foundation and development of accounting systems, this updated, classic book opens the field to a new generation of accounting scholars and historians around the world.
Download or read book Institutions and Politics written by Peter Nedergaard and published by Djoef Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two decades, Danish scholar Ove K. Pedersen has been interpreting the Danish model of the political economy, analyzing how it works, and placing it in perspective against the economic models of other nations and changes in the world economy. His vision of how a 'negotiated economy' works has influenced international scholarship. His studies of the response to globalization and the rise of neo-liberalism shows how politics mediates the impact of economic developments. This festschrift brings a distinguished set of international scholars together in a wide-ranging tribute to Professor Pedersen's work. The chapters take up themes of enduring importance bearing on the role of ideas in politics, the roots of Danish economic success, and modes of coordination in the political economy. This timely book is published at a moment of great international interest in 'flexicurity' and the achievements of the Danish model. Its perspectives enrich the discussion of issues central to comparative political economy.
