Recenzii
'This book proposes a major revolution in financial reporting. By expanding on the traditional accounting model by accounting for the components of the market capitalisation of the business, the author challenges directly the world's present system of accounting. Using examples such as Enron and the financial crisis Professor Hatherly illustrates the deficiencies of the present model and, unusually, suggests how to rectify them. A must-read book for all who wonder where the future of reporting might lie.' Sir David Tweedie. Chairman of the IASB 2001-11; President of ICAS ’Hatherly has made an important, if controversial, contribution to the debate on improving the standards of corporate financial reporting. His proposed deconstruction of reported results and returns into discrete categories poses real challenges to the status quo and his ideas merit careful consideration and discussion. Investment managers, financial analysts and journalists would do well to read this timely book.’ Stewart Hamilton, Emeritus Professor, IMD, Lausanne, Switzerland ’...the book provides a very good starting point for instigating a broader debate in the area of financial reporting, including the entire integrated reporting debate. ...this is a book that paves the way for a productive debate on what accounting should focus on and how to go about it, as well as offering an opportunity to reconsider the focal points of current accounting and valuation analysis.’ Stergios Leventis, Accounting and Business Research, vol.43, no.6
Descriere
David Hatherly rethinks accounting in the light of the financial crisis which exposed its limitations. Financial institutions reported increasing profits and healthy balance sheets whilst their business models undermined their own financial health and the economy. Accounts failed to provide feedback on business performance. This failure highlighted the need for alignment between business and accounting models. To understand business performance we need to know about value: how much is created; how it is created, who it is created for, what kind it is; and how it is measured. Here, Professor Hatherly provides an accounting model that addresses these questions. Overcoming the complexity and incoherence of existing accounting standards, the new model allows stakeholders to analyse the effectiveness of their business model, making financial crises less likely. With its insights into accounting and business more generally, this book is for accountants, accountancy students and those running businesses of any description.
