Manager's Guide to Compliance: Sarbanes-Oxley, COSO, ERM, COBIT, IFRS, BASEL II, OMB's A-123, ASX 10, OECD Principles, Turnbull Guidance, Best Practices, and Case Studies (Manager's Guide Series)

Book Description

Compliance requirements are here to stay.

Prepare your company for the growing challenge.

A Wall Street Journal/Harris poll revealed that two thirds of investors express doubts in the ability of corporate boards of directors to provide effective oversight. In the shadow of recent global scandals involving businesses such as Parmalat and WorldCom, Manager's Guide to Compliance: Best Practices and Case Studies is essential reading for you, whether your organization is a major corporation or a small business.

This timely handbook places U.S. and global regulatory information, as well as critical compliance guidance, in an easy-to-access format and helps you make sense of all the complex issues connected with fraud and compliance.

"Wide perspectives and best practices combined deliver a punch that will knock your 'SOX' off! The author has blended together a critical mix necessary for effectively handling the requirements of SOX."
—Rob Nance, Publisher, AccountingWEB, Inc.

"Robust compliance and corporate governance is an absolute necessity in today's business environment. This new book by Anthony Tarantino is an authoritative guide to understanding and implementing compliance and regulatory requirements in the United States and around the world. From SOX to COSO to ERM, this book covers them all."
—Martin T. Biegelman, Certified Fraud Examiner, Fellow and Regent Emeritus of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, and coauthor of Executive Roadmap to Fraud Prevention and Internal Control: Creating a Culture of Compliance

"If compliance wasn't difficult enough, now companies are faced with a barrage of technology vendors claiming to automate compliance as if it were a project. In his new book, Dr. Tarantino paints the reality of the situation: companies need to embrace the broader tenets of governance and use technology to embed governance policies and controls into their daily business processes. Only then can they gain business value from their compliance investments."
—Chris Capdevila, CEO and cofounder, LogicalApps

Reference only.......2007-07-04

Useful as a reference guide, but not something that I would recommend as the first or last read on Compliance. Have kept it around as a great reference document.

very useful book.......2007-03-13

i have just read some chapter such as Sarbanes-Oxley and fast scan the other. I think it is the book which i look for.

Outstanding.......2007-01-24

Prior to reading this book I knew almost nothing about compliance. The book is well written and easy to understand for anyone that has formal accounting education. The book provided a tremendous amount of insight, and was very practical. The book has helped out at work tremendously.

Most Helpful for My Accounting and Auditing Groups.......2006-04-29

As the CFO of a privately held company looking to go public in the next few years this is what we needed to focus our compliance and governance programs.

Essential Reading for My US and Chinese Businesses.......2006-04-29

Dr. Tarantino's book was exactly what I needed to understand the many regulations facing my businesses in the US and China. It will be required reading for my various managers and directors.

Book Description

Taking the same practical approach as Principles of Accounting I, this book teaches the second part of introductory accounting courses, including FASB requirements for the statement of cash flow. Covering specialized areas and aspects of business such as manufacturing costs, budgets, standard costs and financial ratios, the contents match those of the leading acocunting textbooks. Students in regular and special accounting prgrams and nonmajors will also appreciate the selection of fully solved problems.

Customer Reviews:

very clear and thorough.......2007-01-11

It was very clear and thorough. It is a pretty guide review for the Clep exam, but you will need to study Principles of Accounting II also for the Principles of Accounting CLEP.

Great "Nuts and Bolts" Book.......2005-11-23

If a company is going to buy assets to turn a profit, it has to first get capital from somewhere, right? And in the course of making sales and providing services, it needs to literally account for the use of that capital. Lerner and Cashin make readers comfortable working with major sources of capital in an easy to understand way.

Chapters 3 through 8 are the heart and soul of the book. They explore common stock issuance, subscriptions and treasury stock, retained earnings and bonds. By doing the "Solved Problems" and chapter-end exercises, I came to a much better understanding of accounting mechanics pertaining to capital concerns.

The book is also very valuable for those seeking to better understand manufacturing accounting, cost systems and budgets, as well as financial statement analysis.

Consistently clear, the authors do an excellent job in helping those interested in accounting better understand the subject matter. They helped me - I hope you benefit too!

I purchased this book for my business library. Very concise and helps to cover the basics of accounting.

Wow, accounting, what a thrilling weekend of reading. As far as prep guides go, I find these cliffsquick books to be excellent. I read this book as well as the accounting I book from the same series. I have never had any exposure to accounting, and this book brings you up to speed quickly. Of course, this is the more advanced in the series so you may consider not starting here if you're new. It's well written and includes some visual aids that really help.
Happy reading

If you really want to get a "hands on approach" to how to record everthing your learning in the text. This is an awesome addition. It will take time though, so don't try to use it in a summer course. (like I did). But I got another one for the Fall class.

Amazing transaction.......2006-02-26

I received the item much sooner than expected. It was a very pleasant suprise. I was expecting it within 9 business days after placing the order on a Thursday night and I received it the following Monday morning! But wait, it gets better...the shipping was free because I used the Super Saver Shipping! I love Amazon.com! The item was well packaged and in perfect condition. This transaction could not have gone any better. :)

Book Description

Work more effectively with the Excel Working Papers CD-ROM! Designed to accompany Kimmel, Weygandt, and Kieso’s Principles of Accounting, the Excel templates on this CD provide a framework that helps students format their accounting solutions properly. These custom forms are available for all relevant end-of-chapter exercises, problems, and cases. The Excel Working Papers provide the option of printing forms and completing them manually, or entering data electronically and then printing out a completed form. By entering data electronically, students can now paste homework to a new file and e-mail the worksheet to their instructor.

This new Principles of Accounting text helps students navigate their future accounting and business careers with a practical set of accounting tools and the confidence they need to use those tools effectively in making business decisions. The authors have taken a more conceptual and decision-making approach to the material, which many instructors are now bringing into their Accounting courses based on the AECC "white paper" report and other recent market trends (e.g., a reduction in Accounting majors, etc.).

Kimmel, Weygandt, and Kieso motivate students by beginning with the larger picture. Taking a macro-to-micro approach, the discussion starts with real financial statements first, rather than starting with the Accounting Cycle. This innovative approach quickly establishes how a financial statement communicates the financing, investing, and operating activities of a business to users of accounting information. Throughout, the text clearly demonstrates the importance of accounting to society and the relevance of accounting to students’ future careers.

Great service.......2007-05-15

The book was as good as it was described and delivered on time

Excellent Introductory Text.......2006-03-09

I have never written a review on here, but I felt like I should give praise for this book, beacuse I really liked it.

I just finished my second principles of accounting class, and thus completed this text book. I found it to be an excellent learning resource. The book is well written to make the subject entertaining and accessible. There is a wealth of problems after each chapter, and many illustrations to aid in understanding. Even if you get a bad professor, you can easily learn the subject just from this text.

Principles of Accounting, with Annual Report.......2005-09-27

Book used for accounting classes...very complete and thorough. Entertaining and helpful stories and illustrations to help understand concepts.

Best single volume accounting text out there.......2005-08-15

I found this to be the best single volume accounting text to include both financial accounting and managerial accounting topics at a reasonable price.

I use this in my accounting courses. The other reviewers mentioned that the text uses jargon. It does not, though one will need to know or learn standard American business terminology. If you are not interested in American business, you should not be taking an accounting course in the first place. Many of my students are taking this course because it is required. Many of them would be better off in another major, as they have no interest in American business.

Difficult to read.......2005-08-02

This textbook is very difficult to read and comprehend. When I took Principles of Accounting the textbook was very unhelpful and left myself and others looking for alternate resources to understand the basic concepts of accounting. But for those who are in classes that must use this textbook, I recoomend finding the best ways to avoid buying this, such as sharing with two or three friends or buying used.

Book Description

This text helps students hit the road with a practical set of tools, and the confidence they need to use those tools effectively in making business decisions. The goal is to introduce a new Principles of Accounting text that better reflects a more conceptual and decision-making approach to the material.
The authors have taken a new "macro- to micro-" approach to the Principles of Accounting course by starting with a discussion of real financial statements first, rather than starting with the Accounting Cycle (although the Accounting Cycle is thoroughly covered in Chapters 3 and 4). The objective is to establish how a financial statement communicates the financing, investing, and operating activities of a business to users of accounting information. They motivate students by grounding the discussion in the real world, showing them the relevance of the topics covered to their future career.
