All rights reserved. 1 Introduction Thank you for agreeing to serve on the board of a not-for-profit organization. Without your dedication and commitment, we would not enjoy the thriving not-for-profit community we do. As a board member, you are probably very familiar with some aspects of not-for-profit management. You understand the basic need to raise money to support the activities of the organization for which you volunteer, and you probably have seen the fundamental challenge every not-for-profit management team faces – to make the dollars raised go as far as possible. However, in addition to addressing funding challenges, as a board member you now have a legal responsibility to protect the organization’s assets by overseeing its financial activities and implementing “best practices” to protect the organization. For board members without experience in not- for-profit accounting,and especially for those without any formal accounting training, it is easy to neglect this important responsibility and bear some liability for the outcome. This booklet is designed to help you perform your financial responsibilities more effectively.

  • MASB 9 Revenue

    MASB 9 Revenue

    MASB 9 Revenue MASB 9 Revenue prescribes the accounting treatment of revenue arising from certain types of transactions and events. MASB 9 supersedes MASB Approved Accounting Standard IAS 18, Revenue Recognition adopted previously by the MASB. Highlights: 1. MASB 9 should be applied in accounting for revenue arising from the sale of goods, rendering of services and the use by others of enterprise assets yielding interest, royalties and dividends. It also specifically excludes revenue arising from certain transactions. 2. Exempt enterprises need not comply with certain provisions of this Standard i.e. the recognition of revenue by reference to the stage of completion in rendering services. 3. MASB 9 requires that revenue should be measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. In most cases, the consideration is in the form of cash or cash equivalents. Discounting is needed in those circumstances where the inflow of cash is significantly deferred without interest. If dissimilar goods or services are exchanged (as in barter transactions), revenue is the fair value of the goods or services received adjusted by the any cash or cash equivalent transferred or, if this is not reliably measurable, the fair value of the goods or services given up adjusted by the any cash or cash equivalent transferred. 4. Revenue should be recognised when all the following have been satisfied: (a) the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer; (b) managerial involvement and control have passed to the buyer; (c) the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; (d) it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the enterprise; and (e) the costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably.

Three years later, the XBRL mandate was fully phased in for all SEC filers, and it continues to expand. All regulatory compliance teams at SEC reporting companies are now involved in XBRL tagging. SEC rules that took effect in May 2019 now require Inline XBRL for information on the cover of Forms 8-K, 10-Q, 10-K, 20-F, and 40-F. [See The SEC’s FAST Act rules broaden XBRL requirements in this issue.] To mark the anniversary, DIMENSIONS asked six XBRL experts in the securities regulation, financial reporting, or capital markets sectors to comment on the structured-data revolution in SEC reporting: its benefits to investors and companies; the success stories thus far; and the challenges that remain for structured data and the general modernization of disclosure. • Mike Willis, Assistant Director, SEC Office of Structured Disclosure • J.

    E-Procurement in Accounting

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Clute Institute: Journals The Review Of Business Information Systems Volume 7, Number 1 E-Procurement In Accounting: A Macro Perspective Of Selection Techniques Saravanan Muthaiyah (E-Mail: saravanan.muthaiyah @ mmu.edu.my), Multimedia University, Malaysia Murali Raman (E-mail: murali.raman @ mmu.edu.my), Multimedia University, Malaysia Larry Lombard, Ph.D. (E-mail: [email protected]), Metropolitan State College of Denver Abstract Selecting an E-procurement accounting package is a complex process because of rapidly chang- ing technology and the variety of options proposed by software providers. There are many e- procurement packages available in the market, but most of these packages simply automate the ordering process. Using an integrated system to place orders over the Internet can save time, re- duce postage and paper cost. But without integrating e-procurement packages within a compa- ny’s finance and accounting systems, one of the largest opportunities for savings is missed out. To achieve full advantage of e-procurement, the procurement system must be integrated not only within the financial system but also with vendors and customers. There are two main categories of e-procurement solutions: 1) buy-side and 2) marketplace. While the full range of benefits might be better secured with buy-side procurement solutions, application costs make marketplace solutions more affordable. For smaller companies, costs of development of buy-side solutions will most often outweigh benefits and therefore marketplace solutions will be more suitable. For large businesses that choose buy-side solutions, careful evaluation is required in selecting the best software that can best suit the company requirements.

When a company presents sound corporate governance, the managers would maximize corporate value and shareholders’ equity to enhance the business performance and corporate value. Listed high-tech industries in Shanghai are sampled for this study. The data are acquired from China Economic and Financial Research Database. The research results conclude 1.significantly positive correlations between corporate governance and Accounting Education, 2.remarkably positive correlations between Accounting Education and enterprise value, 3.notably positive correlations between corporate governance and enterprise value, and 4.mediation effects of Accounting Education between corporate governance and enterprise value. The results could provide reference for managers in domestic high-tech industries making investment decisions and governmental authorities formulating relevant regulations. Good match with corporate governance allows a company thoroughly developing the benefit of capital expenditure to further create higher corporate value. Keywords: high-tech industries, corporate governance, accounting education, enterprise value INTRODUCTION In the past decade, the so-called “corporate governance” has become an important study on enterprise operation and management.
