Softcover. Zustand: Fair. Unangenehmer Geruch; Leichte Rillen / Abschürfungen / Risse / Knicke; Farbtonänderung. The world is filled with accounting texts that assist readers in preparing, auditing, interpreting, and explaining corporate financial statements. However, a gap exists for a book that provides context and discussion…on divisive issues like taxes, debt, options, and earnings volatility. This work focuses on the "why" of accounting rather than the "how," offering a highly readable history of U.S. corporate accounting. Inspired by Arthur Levitt's pivotal 1998 speech at New York University, which highlighted the often-unquestioned practice of earnings management and foreshadowed the collapse of U.S. corporate accounting three years later, the narrative traces how accounting evolved over a century. It transformed from a tool for American railroad managers to communicate with British investors into a facilitator of corporate fraud, making for a compelling business story. This book is distinct from others that merely recount accounting scandals; it presents a history of ideas. Each chapter delves into controversial topics that have arisen over the last century, providing historical context and discussing the individuals involved to enhance the relevance of the concepts. The author illustrates how economics, finance, law, and business customs have shaped the evolution of accounting, drawing from a career spent engaging with accounting information.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The world certainly suffers no shortage of accounting texts. The many out there help readers prepare, audit, interpret and explain corporate financial statements. What has been missing is a book offering context and discussion for divisive issues such as taxes, debt, options, and earnings vol…atility. King addresses the why of accounting instead of the how, providing practitioners and students with a highly readable history of U.S. corporate accounting. More Than a Numbers Game: A Brief History of Accounting was inspired by Arthur Levitt's landmark 1998 speech delivered at New York University. The Securities and Exchange Commission chairman described the too-little challenged custom of earnings management and presaged the breakdown in the US corporate accounting three years later. Somehow, over a one-hundred year period, accounting morphed from a tool used by American railroad managers to communicate with absent British investors into an enabler of corporate fraud. How this happened makes for a good business story. This book is not another description of accounting scandals. Instead it offers a history of ideas. Each chapter covers a controversial topic that emerged over the past century. Historical background and discussion of people involved give relevance to concepts discussed. The author shows how economics, finance, law and business customs contributed to accounting's development. Ideas presented come from a career spent working with accounting information.
