Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2002 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 64% (England = B+), University of the West of England, Bristol (Bristol Business School - Bachelors Degree Business Administration), language: English, abstract: Accounting is an important aspect of management control. Budgets are unarguably the most obvious form of utilising accounting data to monitor and punish or reward strategic business units and consequently employees, regardless of whether they are managers or workers on the shop floor, according to their performance in relation to budgeted targets. “The budget is a financial plan for implementing the various decisions that management has made” (Drury 1997, p. 8). Participation in the formation process of budgets by those ultimately affected is practised in companies with the aim to generate a better-performing workforce. Empirical evidence on the effects of participative budgeting is ambiguous and the literature is fragmented. In this paper, I shall mainly review research on participative budgeting as well as other issues in budgeting and some critical perspectives on budgeting as a means of management control.

Download or read book A Social Critique of Corporate Reporting written by David Crowther and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the critically acclaimed first edition of A Social Critique of Corporate Reporting, David Crowther examined the perceived dialectic around traditional and environmental reporting to show it to be a false dialectic. Corporate reporting continues to change rapidly to incorporate more detail and especially environmental and social information. At the same time the mechanism for reporting has changed and the internet now enables more information to be provided to an ever wider range of stakeholders and interest groups. The perceived conflict between financial performance representing the needs of investors and other dimensions of performance representing the needs of other stakeholders still however continues to exist. In this updated edition, this perceived conflict is re-examined along with the wider purposes of corporate reporting. These are examined in the context of web based reporting and a greater concern for all stakeholders. The conclusion is that, although recent developments have produced changes, the essential conflict is still professed to exist, but remains a largely imaginary one. The analysis in this book makes use of both statistics and semiotics and in so doing develops a semiology of corporate reporting that offers an alternative to other research that is largely based on econometrics. Researchers, higher level students and others with an interest in or responsibility for corporate reporting, corporate social responsibility, accounting research, or semiotics will find this book essential reading.

Download or read book A Social Critique of Corporate Reporting A Semiotic Analysis of Corporate Financial and Environmental Reporting written by David Crowther and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002: This text is concerned with the role of corporate reporting in UK public limited companies. It is a common assumption that the most significant part of any corporate report is the accounting information contained within. This book, however, takes a different view. The central argument is that the purpose of corporate reporting has changed from one primarily of stewardship and accountability to shareholders to a more outward- and forward-looking perspective. The author argues that one of the driving forces for this change in orientation is the discourse of environmental accounting, along with other forces. The book is essentially explorative. The author is concerned with looking at different aspects of the changes in corporate reporting and taking different perspectives in the development of the argument.
