| changes in accounting policy: Political Standards Karthik Ramanna, 2015-11-09 Assembling compelling and unprecedented evidence, Political Standards: Accounting for Legitimacy documents how in subtle ways the rules of corporate accounting a critical institution in modern market capitalism have been captured to benefit industrial corporations, financial firms, and audit firms. In what is perhaps the only independent overview of the accounting industry, Karthik Ramanna begins with a history of corporate accounting and an accessible explanation of how it works today, including the essential roles it plays in defining the fundamental notion of profitability, facilitating asset allocation, and ensuring the accountability of corporations and their managers. From the evidence, Ramanna shows how accounting rule-makers selectively co-opt conceptual arguments from academia and elsewhere to advance the views of the special-interest groups. From this, Ramanna moves on to develop more broadly a new type of regulatory challenge that of producing public policy in a thin political market. His argument is that accounting rules cannot be determined without the substantial expertise and experience of groups that by definition also have strong commercial interests in the outcome. Political Standards concludes with an exploration of possible solutions to the problem in accounting and that of thin political markets in general, charting avenues for scholarship and practice. Certain to be an eye-opening account of a massive industry central to the modern business world, Political Standards will be an essential resource in understanding how the rules of the game business are set, whom they inevitably favor, and how they can be changed for the better of society. |

There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career.

Reading it is an effective inoculation against the widespread perception of doom that humanity cannot and will not solve the climate crisis. Reported by-effects include increased determination and a sense of grounded hope.” —Per Espen Stoknes, Author, What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming “There’s been no real way for ordinary people to get an understanding of what they can do and what impact it can have. There remains no single, comprehensive, reliable compendium of carbon-reduction solutions across sectors. At least until now. . . . The public is hungry for this kind of practical wisdom.” —David Roberts, Vox “This is the ideal environmental sciences textbook—only it is too interesting and inspiring to be called a textbook.” —Peter Kareiva, Director of the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, UCLA In the face of widespread fear and apathy, an international coalition of researchers, professionals, and scientists have come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. One hundred techniques and practices are described here—some are well known; some you may have never heard of. They range from clean energy to educating girls in lower-income countries to land use practices that pull carbon out of the air. The solutions exist, are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are currently enacting them with skill and determination. If deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, they represent a credible path forward, not just to slow the earth’s warming but to reach drawdown, that point in time when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to decline. These measures promise cascading benefits to human health, security, prosperity, and well-being—giving us every reason to see this planetary crisis as an opportunity to create a just and livable world. |

| changes in accounting policy: Financial Accounting - Class 11 - English Navneet Singh, Accounting is a vital aspect of business that involves recording, summarizing, analysing, and communicating financial information. It provides a systematic way to track the financial activities of an organization, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions. Here's an introduction to the fundamental concepts and principles of accounting: Purpose of Accounting: The primary purpose of accounting is to provide relevant financial information about a business entity to internal and external users. Internal users include management and employees who use this information for decision-making, planning, and controlling operations. External users include investors, creditors, government agencies, and the public who rely on financial statements to evaluate the financial health and performance of the business. Key Financial Statements: Balance Sheet: It provides a snapshot of the company's financial position at a specific point in time, showing its assets, liabilities, and equity. Income Statement: Also known as the profit and loss statement, it summarizes the revenues, expenses, and net income (or loss) of a company over a specified period. Statement of Cash Flows: This statement reports the cash inflows and outflows from operating, investing, and financing activities, providing insights into how cash is generated and used by the business. Accounting Principles: GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles): These are a set of standard accounting principles, standards, and procedures that companies use to compile their financial statements in the United States. It ensures consistency, comparability, and transparency in financial reporting. IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards): These are accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), used by companies in many countries outside the United States. IFRS aims to harmonize accounting practices globally. Double-Entry Accounting: This is a fundamental accounting principle that states that for every transaction, there are at least two accounts involved, with one account debited and another credited. This ensures that the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) remains balanced. Types of Accounts: Assets: Economic resources owned or controlled by the company, such as cash, inventory, property, and equipment. Liabilities: Obligations owed by the company to external parties, such as loans, accounts payable, and bonds payable. Equity: Represents the residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting liabilities. It includes contributed capital from owners and retained earnings. Revenues: Income generated from the sale of goods or services. Expenses: Costs incurred in the process of generating revenue. Accounting Cycle: This is the process that accountants follow to record, analyse, and report financial transactions of a business. It typically includes steps such as identifying transactions, journalizing, posting to ledgers, preparing trial balances, adjusting entries, preparing financial statements, and closing entries. Auditing: This is the examination of financial statements and accounting records by an independent auditor to ensure their accuracy and compliance with accounting standards and regulations. Understanding these basic principles and concepts provides a solid foundation for anyone interested in learning more about accounting and its role in business operations and decision-making. |

| changes in accounting policy: International Accounting Standards - English Navneet Singh, International Accounting Standards (IAS) are a set of standards developed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to provide a common global framework for financial reporting. These standards are designed to ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability in financial reporting across different countries and industries. IAS cover various aspects of financial reporting, including the presentation of financial statements, recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses, as well as disclosure requirements. They are used by companies listed on stock exchanges worldwide and are particularly important for multinational corporations operating in multiple jurisdictions. The goal of harmonizing accounting standards globally is to facilitate cross-border investments, enhance transparency and accountability, and improve the quality and reliability of financial information for investors, creditors, and other stakeholders. IAS cover various aspects of financial reporting, including: Presentation of Financial Statements (IAS 1): This standard outlines the overall structure and content of financial statements, including the requirements for balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, and statements of changes in equity. Recognition and Measurement of Assets, Liabilities, Income, and Expenses: Several IAS address the recognition, measurement, and presentation of specific types of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. For example, IAS 16 covers property, plant, and equipment, while IAS 38 deals with intangible assets. Disclosure Requirements: IAS include requirements for disclosing certain information in financial statements to provide users with a better understanding of an entity's financial position, performance, and cash flows. Disclosure requirements cover areas such as accounting policies, significant accounting estimates, related party transactions, and contingencies. Consolidated Financial Statements (IAS 27 and IAS 28): These standards provide guidance on the preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities or has significant influence over them. Financial Instruments (IAS 32, IAS 39, and IFRS 9): These standards address the recognition, measurement, and presentation of various types of financial instruments, including financial assets, financial liabilities, and derivatives. The adoption of International Accounting Standards, particularly International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), has become increasingly widespread globally. Many countries require or permit the use of IAS/IFRS for financial reporting by publicly traded companies, while others use them as a basis for developing their national accounting standards. Overall, the aim of International Accounting Standards is to enhance the quality, comparability, and transparency of financial reporting, thereby facilitating investment decisions, reducing information asymmetry, and promoting economic growth and stability on a global scale. |
| changes in accounting policy: Transnational Accounting Dieter Ordelheide, 2016-02-17 Considerable effort has been made over the last ten years by such institutions as the EU, OECD, UNO and the IASC towards the harmonisation of accounting standards.
