Book excerpt: Financial Strategy for Public Managers is a new generation textbook for financial management in the public sector. It offers a thorough, applied, and concise introduction to the essential financial concepts and analytical tools that today's effective public servants need to know. It starts "at the beginning" and assumes no prior knowledge or experience in financial management. Throughout the text, Kioko and Marlowe emphasize how financial information can and should inform every aspect of public sector strategy, from routine procurement decisions to budget preparation to program design to major new policy initiatives. They draw upon dozens of real-world examples, cases, and applied problems to bring that relationship between information and strategy to life. Unlike other public financial management texts, the authors also integrate foundational principles across the government, non-profit, and "hybrid/for-benefit" sectors. Coverage includes basic principles of accounting and financial reporting, preparing and analyzing financial statements, cost analysis, and the process and politics of budget preparation. The text also includes several large case studies appropriate for class discussion and/or graded assignments.

Download or read book Strategic Managerial Accounting a Primer for the IT Professional written by Gopal Saxena and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It would generally be safe to assume that finance and accounting especially strategic managerial accounting (SMA) would be anathema to the software professional. This book, written from the perspective of a software professional, attempts to address that belief. SMA is a prognostic as well as a diagnostic tool and therefore useful for making key day-to-day decisions. However the common view, especially in the IT industry, is that accounting is for the accountants, despite the fact that IT professionals are regularly confronted by financial situations such as project pricing, measuring performance, estimating risk, allocating costs, and so on. This means that every proposal needs to be vetted by the respective specialists. While this may be desirable and even necessary, the speed and reliability of the process could improve if the people who originate the proposal had knowledge of the fundamentals that go into the decision-making process. Another distinguishing feature of the IT and services industry is their unique cost structure, quite different from the manufacturing industry on which traditional managerial accounting is based. Different categories of the industry such as software products, software development (outsourcing), online services, and IT-enabled services have their own distinct cost structure requiring different metrics. The situation is becoming further differentiated as most IT companies shift to the cloud and software ownership is replaced by licensing. These aspects are not adequately addressed by existing books on managerial accounting which are generally manufacturing centric. The online services and mobile app industries constitute the fastest growing and most exciting segment of this industry. However there is hardly any published literature in this area for the software lay person. One chapter is entirely devoted to this subject. This book focuses on strategic managerial accounting in context of the IT software industry, where activities are typically organized as projects which have specific goals and finite life. It seeks to equip the IT professional with some of the knowledge and skills that are generally delegated to the managerial accountants, in an attempt to assist them in making more informed decisions.
Download or read book Bank Regulation written by Anna-Karin Stockenstrand and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-01-20 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bank Regulation: Effects on Strategy, Financial Accounting and Management Control discusses and problematizes how regulation is affecting bank strategies as well as their financial accounting and management control systems. Following a period of bank de-regulation, the new millennium brought a drastic change, with many new regulations. Some of these are the result of the financial crisis of 2008-2009. Other regulations, such as the introduction in 2005 of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for quoted companies in the EU, can be related to the introduction of a new global accounting regime. It is evident from annual reports of banks that the number of new regulations in recent years is high and that they cover many different functional areas. The objectives of these regulations are also ambitious; to improve governance and control, contributing to a high level of financial stability for banks. These objectives are obviously of great concern for an industry that directly and indirectly affects the financial situation not only of individuals and organizations but also nation states. Considering the importance of banks in society, it is of little surprise that the attention of both scholars and practitioners has been directed towards how banks comply with new regulations and if the intended objectives of the regulations are met. This book will be of great value to all those interested in financial stability matters (practitioners, policy-makers, students, academics), as well as to accounting and finance scholars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past ten years, there has been growing interest in the process of strategic decision-making among both managers and researchers. Strategic decisions are important for five main reasons: They are large-scale, risky and hard to reverse; they are a bridge between deliberate and emerging strategies; they can be a major source of organizational learning; they play an important part in the development of individual managers and they cut accross functions and academic disciplines. Strategic Decisions summarizes the current state of the art in research on strategic decision-making, with chapters prepared by leading strategy researchers.
