Download or read book A Financial Analysis of Risk and Control written by Rod Smith and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the risk-and-control profession has grown in sophistication, some aspects of current practice are inconsistent with sound management decision-making and business analysis. Foremost among these is the financial evaluation of control. Simply stated, when it comes to the risk-and-control discipline, methods of financial evaluation that are routinely used for other aspects of an organization's operations are either not used or used to a much lesser extent. Many organizations, moreover, view the effort to implement an effective control environment to be a "cost of doing business" that does not warrant the degree of analysis that is generally applied to other areas of the organization. The objective of this book is to illustrate that, despite the unique characteristics of risk and control, the discipline should merit the same degree of financial/economic analysis as is applied to other topics of comparable cost, scale, and complexity. After establishing this point, this text outlines a practical framework for evaluating risk and control from a financial standpoint. The remaining text is devoted to outlining, in a step-by-step manner, the practical methods and implications for applying the framework to a wide range of risk-and-control decision-making contexts, thus allowing the reader to understand (at least "directionally") the guidelines and considerations for applying financial analysis to reduce costs and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization's control environment. This brief, authoritative text is truly a 'must-have' addition to every internal audit library.

Download or read book Financial Accounting and Management Control written by Fredrik Nilsson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about financial accounting and management control and how these two information systems are related as well as how their objectives conflict. At the most fundamental level, the objective of financial accounting is to provide owners and funders with comparable information on a company's value creation. The aim of management control, on the other hand, is to give the board, senior executives and employees unique information for strategy formulation and implementation. One often-mentioned negative effect is the risk of financial accounting affecting management control design and use, making it less relevant for decision-making at the company level. The book provides an analysis of the complex relationship between financial accounting and management control. The analysis is based on theoretical reasoning as well as several examples of how financial accounting standards affect not only the annual report but also the control system. An interesting, and perhaps unexpected conclusion is that management control seems to affect financial accounting almost as much as financial accounting affects management control. These complex relationships, which can influence the design and use of both financial accounting and management control, are discussed in detail in this book.

Download or read book Unified Financial Analysis written by Willi Brammertz and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-11-04 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unified Financial Analysis arrives at the right time, in the midst of the current financial crisis where the call for better and more efficient financial control cannot be overstated. The book argues that from a technical perspective, there is no need for more, but for better and more efficiently organized information. The title demonstrates that it is possible with a single but well organized set of information and algorithms to derive all types of financial analysis. This reaches far beyond classical risk and return or profitability management, spanning all risk categories, all valuation techniques (local GAAP, IFRS, full mark-to-market and so on) and static, historic and dynamic analysis, just to name the most important dimensions. The dedication of a complete section to dynamic analysis, which is based on a going concern view, is unique, contrasting with the static, liquidation-based view prevalent today in banks. The commonly applied arbitrage-free paradigm, which is too narrow, is expanded to real world market models. The title starts with a brief history of the evolution of financial analysis to create the current industry structure, with the organisation of many banks following a strict silo structure, and finishes with suggestions for the way forward from the current financial turmoil. Throughout the book, the authors advocate the adoption of a 'unified financial language' that could also be the basis for a new regulatory approach. They argue that such a language is indispensable, if the next regulatory wave – which is surely to come – should not end in an expensive regulatory chaos. Unified Financial Analysis will be of value to CEOs and CFOs in banking and insurance, risk and asset and liability managers, regulators and compliance officers, students of Finance or Economics, or anyone with a stake in the finance industry.
