| checks and balances accounting: Field Trials of Health Interventions Peter G. Smith, Richard H. Morrow, David A. Ross, 2015 This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Before new interventions are released into disease control programmes, it is essential that they are carefully evaluated in field trials'. These may be complex and expensive undertakings, requiring the follow-up of hundreds, or thousands, of individuals, often for long periods. Descriptions of the detailed procedures and methods used in the trials that have been conducted have rarely been published. A consequence of this, individuals planning such trials have few guidelines available and little access to knowledge accumulated previously, other than their own. In this manual, practical issues in trial design and conduct are discussed fully and in sufficient detail, that Field Trials of Health Interventions may be used as a toolbox' by field investigators. It has been compiled by an international group of over 30 authors with direct experience in the design, conduct, and analysis of field trials in low and middle income countries and is based on their accumulated knowledge and experience. Available as an open access book via Oxford Medicine Online, this new edition is a comprehensive revision, incorporating the new developments that have taken place in recent years with respect to trials, including seven new chapters on subjects ranging from trial governance, and preliminary studies to pilot testing. |

| checks and balances accounting: Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government United States Government Accountability Office, 2019-03-24 Policymakers and program managers are continually seeking ways to improve accountability in achieving an entity's mission. A key factor in improving accountability in achieving an entity's mission is to implement an effective internal control system. An effective internal control system helps an entity adapt to shifting environments, evolving demands, changing risks, and new priorities. As programs change and entities strive to improve operational processes and implement new technology, management continually evaluates its internal control system so that it is effective and updated when necessary. Section 3512 (c) and (d) of Title 31 of the United States Code (commonly known as the Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA)) requires the Comptroller General to issue standards for internal control in the federal government. |
| checks and balances accounting: Philosophy of the United States Gordon Louis Anderson, 2004-09-25 Anderson begins his book by noting that the shock of 9/11 can in some ways be compared to the shock the Babylonians experienced in 1158 B.C. or the Romans experienced in 410 A.D. These ancient civilizations, the lessons learned from them, and the spiritual impulses they generated (Judaism and Christianity respectively), form the cultural matrix from which the modern philosophy that guided the creation of the United States Constitution emerged. Notable is Anderson s description of how, at the founding, the liberal rationalists and the pietistic revivalists were able to cooperate. This was possible through a sense of common purpose and a general philosophy broad enough to encompass the more specific philosophies of the liberals and conservatives of the day. Through his description of the issues the founding left unresolved and the pursuit of greed and power, Anderson shows how that common purpose has degenerated into the culture wars that threaten to tear the United States apart today.

| checks and balances accounting: Treasury Single Account Israel Fainboim Yaker, Sailendra Pattanayak, 2010-06-01 A treasury single account (TSA) is an essential tool for consolidating and managing governments’ cash resources, thus minimizing borrowing costs.

Finally, the paper includes country examples from different regions in support of the analysis and recommendations. |
| checks and balances accounting: The Nonprofit Problem Solver Richard Lord, 1989-07-10 A practical, hands-on manual for managers and executives of nonprofit organizations, The Nonprofit Problem Solver provides comprehensive coverage of every aspect of the nonprofit management function. The author, who has direct management experience in a number of nonprofit settings as well as extensive consulting experience, explains in clear and practicable terms what is involved in each of the particular functions. What makes the book especially valuable is its unique focus on the kinds of typical and recurrent problems that tend to arise specifically in nonprofit organizations. Lord examines each of these problems in detail, telling the reader what to watch for, what to expect, and how to avoid the problems--or if unavoidable how to deal with them successfully. The Nonprofit Problem Solver takes a potentially intimidating field and brings it into direct relevance to the daily life of nonprofit managers. Written in an easy to read how-to style, the book begins with a chapter designed to help managers identify their own organizations' needs. Subsequent chapters address key issues that nonprofit managers must deal with on a day-to-day basis such as: how to generate a positive cash flow; surviving an audit; how to borrow and how to finance capital acquisitions; putting together an in-house accounting manual; establishing and writing personnel policies; accounting and budget controls; compensation and compensation policies; managing the physical plant. The emphasis throughout is on management methods that can be easily and effectively implemented to produce a professionally run, smoothly operating organization. Both current managers and students in nonprofit management programs will find The Nonprofit Problem Solver an indispensable and frequently consulted reference source. |

| checks and balances accounting: Built on Value Weiwei Huang, 2019-06-14 This book is open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license. This book presents the concept of value as the central component to success and longevity of the global ICT industry player, Huawei. It provides examples of how Huawei focuses on customers to pursue sustainable and profitable growth rather than focusing on capital market valuation which is a familiar scenario among Western companies. It is the business departments that are the creators of value for Huawei, while the finance department is tasked to provide support and services to those business departments during the value creation process. The book illustrates how Huawei Finance sets rules, allocates resources, and builds centers of expertise all over the world to address future uncertainties. More than a decade ago Huawei dedicated seven years to implement the Integrated Financial Services (IFS) Transformation Program with the help of IBM consultants. This book also draws on the leading concepts and successful experience of the IFS Transformation Program. Huawei Finance adopts three types of centralized vertical management from the top down: treasury, accounting, and auditing. It does not transfer such central authority down to lower levels, but delegates all other authority to business organizations across all levels. This management model represents the focus of this book. Built on Value provides an overview of Huawei's finance management and will help academic researchers in Business/Management, as well as practitioners in industry, an accurate and in-depth understanding of Huawei as a company. |
