Advanced Accounting

“There are few areas of accounting that need improvement more than the accounting for business combinations. The current accounting literature allows two economically similar business combinations to be accounted for using different accounting methods that produce dramatically different financial results, which is confusing to investors.”

Hidden Financial Risk Understanding Off–Balance Sheet Accounting

When I graduated with a doctorate in 1977, I researched and published articles on mainstream topics, particularly current value accounting and the interaction between earnings and cash flows. After a while, it occurred to me that these are not the crucial issues of financial accounting and reporting. Ethics and honesty and fairness to financial statement users comprise the foundational issu…

Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting

White-collar crime is rampant, and has been for some time, in the business community of the U.S. economy. Experts have estimated that the costs of white-collar crime averages about 20 times the costs of street crimes each year. The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) estimated that fraud cost the U.S. economy $660 billion in 2004. But white-collar crime has taken a backseat to stree…

Accounting Principles II

A liability is an existing debt or obligation of a company. It is an amount owed to a third-party creditor that requires something of value, usually cash, to be transferred to the creditor to settle the debt. Most obligations are known amounts based on invoices and con- tracts; some liabilities are estimated because the value that changes hands is not fixed at the time of the initial transactio…

Accounting for Payroll

When I wrote Essentials of Payroll, I realized that the limitations of Wiley’s shorter “Essentials” softcover series did not provide enough room for the wide range of topics required to present a really thorough treatment of the payroll topic. Even though the Essentials of Payroll manuscript became the longest Essentials book ever issued, I still wanted to jam in more information. This bo…

Fair Value Accounting Fraud

Fair value accounting is the accounting profession’s equivalent of the automobile commercials you have seen on television, showing a vehicle racing around an obstacle course or bouncing over hills, along with a dis- claimer saying something to the effect that “This is a professional stunt driver on a closed course. Do not try this at home!” Fair value accounting is not for the timid. It i…

LEAN ACCOUNTING, BEST PRACTICES FOR SUSTAINABLE INTEGRATION

Why are established lean enterprises so durably successful while so many at- tempts to become lean fail? The answer lies in the Anna Karenina principle, an extension of Tolstoy’s observation: “Happy families are all alike; every un- happy family is unhappy in its own way.” In general, this means that a defi- ciency in any one of a number of factors critical to overall system function doom…

The Accounting Game

How do people really learn? The answers and theories are endless. They include ideas ranging from genetic imprinting to osmosis and modeling and emotional intelligence. Brain research is voluminous in the 21st century. For now, though, please ask yourself: How do I learn? Isn’t that an interesting question? And, what do you learn? Do you learn infor- mation from reading, watching videos, usin…

Accounting Principles: Managerial Accounting

This chapter continues the discussion of cost accumulation systems. In Chapter 18, we explained and illustrated job costing. The job cost system (job costing) accumulates costs incurred to produce a product according to individual jobs. For example, construction companies use job costing to keep track of the costs of each construction job. This chapter discusses another cost accumulation system…

Accounting FOR DUMMIES

First of all, I have to admit that accounting has an image problem. Be honest: What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you see the word “accountant”? You probably think of a nerd wearing a green eyeshade who has the personality of an undertaker (no offense meant to undertakers, of course). Well, I’ve never worn a green eyeshade in my life, and I can assure you that I’m no…

Accounting for Fixed Assets

In contrast, much has happened in the areas of Not-for-Profit and Government accounting for fixed assets. FASB ordered the capitaliza- tion of assets and charging of depreciation by Not-for-Profits. The gov- ernment Accounting standards Board was created as an equal to the FASB with the authority and responsibility to promulgate GAAP for governments. They replaced the Government Finance Officer…

Accounting for Financial Instruments

The former Chairman of the American Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan, once believed that lending institutions were doing a good job of protecting their shareholders. Following the credit crunch experience he admitted to being in a ‘state of shocked disbelief’. Perhaps this ‘shocked disbelief’ could now extend to investors and regulators (and indeed accoun- tants themselves) who once beli…

Accounting for Managers: Interpreting accounting information for decision-making

This book was motivated by the author’s experience in teaching accounting at post graduate level (MBA and MSc) at Aston Business School and in-house training provided for non-financial managers in many organizations to introduce them to the use of financial tools and techniques. My own education as an accountant was aimed at achieving professional recognition and emphasized an uncritical ac…
