When the first edition of this book was published, nearly fifteen years ago, I began my preface by noting the growing importance of exchange rates in a world of increas- ing globalisation. A lot has happened to change the world’s financial landscape in that decade and a half.

Global Governance in Accounting

When we think about the future of the modern state, we encounter a puzzling variety of scholarly diagnoses and prophecies. Some authors predict nothing less than the total demise of the state as a useful model for organizing society – its powers eroded by a dynamic global economy and by an increasing transference of political decision-making powers to supranational bodies.

Fair Value Accounting Fraud

Anyone who has read a newspaper or watched the evening news in recent years is well aware that fraudulent financial reporting by big businesses has reached alarming levels.

Virtual Futures for Design, Construction & Procurement

Architects and other designers inhabit a curious borderland between the virtual and the physical. They have always been concerned with conjuring up things that don’t exist but might, imagining them in detail, and eventually finding ways to translate these visions into physical reality.
