Book Description
This title was first published in 2002: This text is concerned with the role of corporate reporting in UK public limited companies. It is a common assumption that the most significant part of any corporate report is the accounting information contained within. This book, however, takes a different view. The central argument is that the purpose of corporate reporting has changed from one primarily of stewardship and accountability to shareholders to a more outward- and forward-looking perspective. The author argues that one of the driving forces for this change in orientation is the discourse of environmental accounting, along with other forces. The book is essentially explorative. The author is concerned with looking at different aspects of the changes in corporate reporting and taking different perspectives in the development of the argument.

Book Description
Accounting, as a subject of study, is an engaging course, all pervading and directly or indirectly impacts on virtually all we do, both in business and our private lives. It is a living subject as it continues to grow, develop and expand in scope and depth with the evolution of businesses and societies. Several terms are used to define, describe and convey the meanings of what the Accountant proposes to portray in the financial presentations. While some terms readily lend themselves to easy interpretation, appreciation and usage, some are much more difficult to understand by the casual reader and even by the student of accountancy in his or her early stages of apprenticeship. This compendium contains a compilation of some selected accounting related concepts, terms and topics (picked at no particular order), together with their meaning as intended by the Accountant. It also includes some Economics and Finance terms. They were put together in this format in an attempt to assist the readers comprehension of the accounting terminologies as commonly used by the practitioners. The work is not intended to be a stand alone exposition and exhaustive, but as an adjunct of the main texts on the various topics covered. As a reference book, it is proposed to provide a handy companionship to the student of accountancy, finance, economics and anyone who wishes to learn and appreciate the contents of published financial statements and the invaluable presentations of the Accountants. Access to the Accounting Standards and the Guidelines as listed toward the last pages of the book could provide a useful tool in the hands of a strong admirer as well as the practitioner of the subject of accountancy.

Book Description
The realm of corporate reporting has shifted significantly since the 7th edition of this book was published. With the world becoming an ever smaller place, the need for a set of global reporting standards has become all the more pressing. To this end two major frameworks have emerged as the flag bearers of global financial reporting standards viz International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and US GAAP. The former has been mandatory for all companies listed on the JSE Securities Exchange Limited (JSE) since 2005. The differential framework ties in well with the recent amendments to the Companies Act in the form of the Corporate Laws Amendment Act (CLAA). The CLAA marks the first phase of Corporate Law reform in South Africa and aims to introduce, amongst other reforms, differential reporting for limited interest companies as defined, to ease the burden of financial reporting on entities where external use of financial information is limited. It will be followed by the new Companies Act which is currently at the Bill stage. The CLAA has an effective date of 14 December 2007. The disclosure requirements set out in this book apply to South African enterprises. They can therefore be applied to companies, close corporations, trusts and partnerships, irrespective of differences in capital structure. Enterprises which are subsidiaries of foreign parent companies may also be required to prepare their financial statements in a format, and with disclosure, that complies with reporting standards abroad. This could lead to disclosure additional to that required in South Africa as set out in this book.
