...were in search of common ground to conduct business transactions. As a result of global accounting needs, in 2001 the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) was given the go ahead by major constituents of the world’s capital markets to develop a single set of high quality accounting standards. This crisis gave birth to the Financial Accounting Standard Board - IASB convergence program (Bahusova, 2009). IASB, along with the FASB, had an open debate in December of 2008 on revenue recognition concerning the changes in customer contract and the obligation between them and the seller. The debate focused on uniform standards for both United States companies that use GAAP and other non- foreign companies using IFRS (Mintz, 2009). The two bodies wanted to achieve continuity on revenue recognition for similar contracts, regardless of the company’s origin. This advancement would increase the quality of revenue recognition, not only for customers and sellers, but for those who use the financial statements to make an informed decision (Mintz, 2009). IFRS is based on a principle method which requires trust and confidence from professionals when faced with a decision. IFRS uses fewer applications of rules, which can lead to professionals looking for ways to interpret the rules to their own...

This paper aims to review existing literature on service quality management in the F&B departments of hotels, its process, and the effective service quality management framework. This paper discusses famous models, and explains Parasuraman’s dimensional framework of service quality management in the area of F&B and its application to the hotel industry.

...Chapter 07 Activity-Based Costing: A Tool to Aid Decision Making Solutions to Questions 7-1 Activity-based costing differs from traditional costing systems in a number of ways. In activity-based costing, nonmanufacturing as well as manufacturing costs may be assigned to products. And, some manufacturing costs—including the costs of idle capacity—may be excluded from product costs. An activity-based costing system typically includes a number of activity cost pools, each of which has its unique measure of activity. These measures of activity often differ from the allocation bases used in traditional costing systems. 7-2 When direct labor is used as an allocation base for overhead, it is implicitly assumed that overhead cost is directly proportional to direct labor. When cost systems were originally developed in the 1800s, this assumption may have been reasonably accurate. However, direct labor has declined in importance over the years while overhead has been increasing. This suggests that there is no longer a direct link between the level of direct labor and overhead. Indeed, when a company automates, direct labor is replaced by machines; a decrease in direct labor is accompanied by an increase in overhead. This violates the assumption that overhead cost is directly proportional to direct labor. Overhead cost appears to be driven by factors such as product diversity and complexity as well as by volume, for which direct labor has served as a convenient measure. ...

...1 Introduction Singer (Sri Lanka) PLC is a conglomerate engaged in trading of consumer durables. It dates back its origins to 1877 where it started its first shop in Pettah. The Company was focused on selling sewing machines and as a step towards backward integration in 1963 Singer Industries (Ceylon) PLC was incorporated to assemble sewing machines. However the market for Sewing machines declined over the past years and the Company facing a financial downturn, took a critical decision to diversify into trading of consumer durables under its brand name Singer and as well as other brands which included Philips, TCL . This move enabled the Company to thrive in an era where its parent Company the Singer Corporation and subsidiaries across 100 countries collapsed due to its inability to change. Further to support the diversification Singer strategically entered into the manufacture of consumer durables thus ensuring a stable supply of products at a lower cost. Regnis (Lanka) PLC was incorporated to manufacture refrigerators, Television assembly was commenced at Singer Industries (Ceylon) PLC and a new factory in Piliyandala was constructed to manufacture furniture. With the evolvement of easy payment schemes and Hire Purchase payment systems for consumer durables the Company further took a decision to form a finance company Singer Finance Lanka Ltd. Today Singer Sri Lanka is a conglomerate with revenue in excess of Rs 11 billion and a market capitalisation of Rs 4.6 bn. It has...

Masters Thesis in Business Administration (FED 006) Author Stephen Rupia Lyabandi Executive Summary Title: Do organizations have IT Strategies? A Study on how organizations describe their IT Strategies. Author: Stephen Rupia Lyabandi Tutor: Anders Hederstierna Problem: The research problem of this study is lack of insight on how organizations describe their IT strategies in relation to other strategies. IT strategy continues to be a major challenge for Information Technology intensive organizations and managers. Over the last two decades, the way researchers on information systems have viewed and analyzed IT strategy in organizational systems has not significantly been modified. Recent studies show that one of the main problems is that the concept of IT strategy has been around for nearly two decades and although many organizations have been using it, the meaning and reference of the idea remains elusive. Those who have attempted to define it have not reached an agreement. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to define the problem and explore whether organizations...

...Solutions for Chapter 12 Audit of Cash and Other Liquid Assets Review Questions: 12-1. It is important that cash and liquid asset testing be coordinated because the assets can be quickly moved and thus substituted for each other. For example, an organization could quickly move assets between cash and certificates of deposit. 12-2. General Cash Account. This is the account used to transact most of the organization's cash transactions. It is usually a high volume, but low balance account. Because of its high volume and its liquidity it is susceptible to greater risk than most asset accounts of the same size. Imprest Payroll Account. This is an account that is maintained strictly for the payment of payroll. The organization makes a deposit equal to the monthly or weekly payroll at the time the payroll checks or electronic transfers are issued. The account is used to minimize accounting costs and to isolate payroll risks to one account. 12-3. We disagree with the auditor's assessment of inherent risk of cash transactions as low. Granted, the accounting for cash and marketable securities is not overly complex. However, the liquidity of the accounts, coupled with their susceptibility to fraud or misappropriation, makes the inherent risk of the accounts at least moderate - if not high. Most organizations recognize the high inherent risk associated with the accounts and have implemented detailed control procedures to reduce control risk to a minimal level. 12-4...
