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 Beyond Internal Control over Financial Reporting written by Daoguang Yang and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By examining two different modes of internal control and the fundamentals of risk management, this book analyses the role of internal control in financing, investment, profit distribution, and corporate strategies through China's experience. In doing so, it confirms the effectiveness and superiority of internal control over operation and management. The book compares the various internal control methods used in China and the USA, namely, operation and management-oriented versus financial reporting-oriented approaches. It also discusses the differences in corporate risk attitudes and behaviours under the two approaches. The author then proposes the hyper-correction hypothesis and the trimming hypothesis. Empirical findings regarding corporate cash policy, mergers and acquisitions, tax avoidance, and diversification strategy reveal that internal control in China does not result in undue risk aversion but instead manages enterprise risk within a reasonable capacity. These results support the trimming hypothesis and demonstrate that internal control is a useful risk management tool. The title will appeal to students, academics, and accounting professionals interested in internal control (risk management), accounting, auditing and corporate finance, regulation and governance.

Download or read book Enforcement Issues of Accounting Principles in China written by Peter Schulz and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2008-09 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - Accounting and Taxes, grade: 85%, Macquarie University (Graduate Accounting and Commerce Centre), course: International Accounting (post-graduate unit), 13 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: In the 21st century, globalisation is deemed inevitable in the development of the world economy. As commercial language, accounting information is internationally accepted so that control over accounting issues and the prevention of accounting fraud are critical to economic development (China Accounting Standards Committee, 2007). In this context, financial reporting quality is regarded as an endogenous function of market demands and political influences that are specific to each country (Chen & Cheng, 2007). The participation of Chinese companies in the world economy has grown during recent decades at a pace that surpasses all other economies significantly. Nevertheless, areas such as accounting and auditing remain a concern. China fully understands that a sound financial reporting system plays a key role in the process of economic development (Financial Reporting in Mainland China, 2007). In saying so, it is important to mention that it is not the standards itself that seem problematic but rather the enforcement of standards. Based on a report written in 2003, this analysis will present aspects that can be a concern with regard to enforcement of accounting standards. After describing each point, an update to what extent it has been resolved will be given. Finally, this report will highlight new enforcement issues that have arisen since 2003 before concluding with an outlook concerning China's future in the field of accounting.
