...strongly advise the CEO that postponing standards and controls is not advisable. Rather than save time and money, the company will probably lose time in the future when unanticipated problems and weaknesses arise due to the lack of standards and controls. The following are reasons why performance standards and control procedures should be established before the system becomes operational: * Internal control considerations must be taken into account when assigning job responsibilities. * Job descriptions and work schedules must include the various control procedures. * Performance standards associated with each position must be considered when selecting personnel to operate the system. * Documentation standards and data security provisions must be formulated before the system can be operational. * Error checks must be built into all computer software systems. * Procedures for guiding users and operators through the system and the various error conditions must be established before the users and operators begin working with the new system. * If the information system is not properly controlled, the information it produces will be of little value. Controls must be built into the system...

...IFRS Convergence: Challenges and Implementation Approaches for Banks in India KPMG IN INDIA Foreword I am very happy to note that KPMG in India is releasing a specific publication for the Indian banking sector titled 'IFRS Convergence: Challenges and Implementation Approaches for Banks in India', on the occasion of the IBA/KPMG conference on 'IFRS: Developing a Roadmap to Convergence for the Indian Banking Industry'. The proposed convergence with IFRS is likely to create significant challenges. Most importantly, the initial and ongoing IFRS convergence will affect reported networth, available capital and capital adequacy for Indian banks. In view of the above, the release of this publication could not have been better timed. Through this publication, KPMG has provided a good perspective of some key areas which would impact the banking sector in India on their road to IFRS convergence. Further, the publication also brings out the specific challenges, particularly for the banking sector in India and the approach that the banks need to follow for successful implementation. Banks in India need to start thinking through the challenges and develop a roadmap for successful convergence at the earliest. I am hopeful that the publication will be able to ignite thoughts in today's bankers to be prepared for the IFRS reporting framework tomorrow.

...Google, the world's most powerful brand, endeavors to purchase Netflix, the largest U.S. based online movie rental service provider. This acquisition is consistent with the Google focus on improving how people connect with information. The acquisition will address a strategic opportunity to deliver more diverse online content to the world, where the graphical and video display-ad market is estimated to grow to $200 billion (Efrati, 2012). It will also further build on the expansive Google acquisition model strategy and use of capital (Rosoff, 2012). Google enjoys proven success and market dominance in online advertising. With its graphical and video advertising successes through its YouTube platform and thousands of other sites, the company has established a significant competitive advantage in the market of display-advertising. With Netflix, Google would leverage its ad expertise to pair advertisements with video search requests and video themes/genres. This acquisition will continue the Google growth model of winning loyalty across every facet of the internet experience which translates into "overall time spent on Google services,[...]more time (for consumers to be) exposed to ads, [and] increased brand loyalty (Young, 2011). The acquisition would provide a diversified monetization model of membership/fee based service which provides strong direct customer and revenue competition to Hulu (streaming video currently offered only to users in Japan and the USA and its overseas...

...Here are some questions about the role of accounting in Society according to Edmonds, Olds, McNair, and Tsay (2009). How should society allocate its resources? Should we spend more to harvest food or cure disease? Should we build computers or cars? Should we invest money in IBM or General Motors? Accounting provides information that helps answer such questions, by taking a look at what it would cost, and how the costs are relevant to whether a business survive or not. (Edmonds, 2012) A market is a group of people or entities organized to exchange items of value. The market for business resources involves three distinct participants: Consumers, conversion agents, and resource owners. Consumers use resources. Resources are frequently not in the form consumers want. For instance, nature provides trees but consumers want furniture. Conversion agents (businesses)...

...CHAPTER 20 SYSTEMS DESIGN, IMPLEMENTATION AND OPERATION In chapter 18 we focused on the first phase of the Systems Development Life Cycle – Systems Analysis. Chapter 20 deals with the remaining four phases: - conceptual systems design - physical systems design - systems implementation and conversion - operation and maintenance CONCEPTUAL SYSTEMS DESIGN In the conceptual systems design phase, the developer creates a general framework for implementing user requirements and solving problems identified in the analysis phase. As shown in Figure 20-1 on page 747 HC (page 637 SC), there are three main steps in conceptual design: 1. evaluating design alternatives, 2. preparing design specifications, and 3. preparing the conceptual systems design report. [pic] Evaluate Design Alternatives There are many ways to design an AIS, so accountants and others involved in systems design must continually make design decisions. [pic] The design team should identify a variety of design alternatives and evaluate each with respect to the following standards: 1) how well it meets organizational and system objectives, 2) how well it meets user needs, 3) whether it is economically feasible, and 4) what its advantages and disadvantages are. The steering committee evaluates the alternatives. Table 20-1 on page 748 HC (page 638 SC) presents examples of conceptual and physical design considerations and their corresponding...

...Chapter 6 Q.7 Use the rate-of-return data for the stock and bond funds presented in Spreadsheet 6.1, but now assume the probability of each scenario is as follows: severe recession: 0.10; mild recession: 0.20; normal growth:0.35; boom: 0.35. (a) Would you expect the mean return and variance of the stock fund to be more than, less than, or equal to the values computed in Spreadsheet 6.2? Why? The variance is expected to increase because the probabilities of the extreme outcomes are now higher. The mean return would be probably similar to the original one. (b) Calculate the new values of mean return and variance for the stock fund using a format similar to Spreadsheet 6.2. Confirm your intuition from part (a) | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | 1 | Scenario | Probability | Rate of Return | Col. B X Col. C | Deviation from Expected Return | Squared Deviation | Col. B X Col.
