Timely and reliable accounting information is essential. Accounting data and their interpretation must be above suspicion, and to be sure of that, corporations and other users of accounting information must be certain that accountants subscribe to and practice a morality set to high standards. What these standards are, and how they are deficient, distorted, and sometimes even fallacious, are themes explored here. Riahi-Belkaoui leads readers through the complexities of five aspects of accounting morality: fairness, ethics, honesty, social responsibility, and truth. Professionals, scholars, and students are here provided with a clear, pragmatic understanding of what morality in accounting is, or should be, and new reasons to appreciate its essentiality.

This book analyzes the schism between accounting practitioners and academics. The book supports the efforts of the Accounting Education Change Commission and other interest groups in their calls for sweeping reforms in accounting education. The authors focus on the division that has separated practitioners from academics before the turn of the century in the United States.

To thrive in the highly competitive health care marketplace, organizations must consistently demonstrate their ability to contain costs, improve quality, and increase customer satisfaction. In Raising Standards in American Health Care, nationally acclaimed health care management expert V. Clay Sherman shows managers and executives how to utilize the powerful management force of strategic standardization to overcome the most common barriers to these challenges-and increase competitive advantage. Raising Standards in American Health Care translates proven Fortune 500 business strategies into pathways toward operational excellence for health care organizations. The book offers a review of the important lessons learned from corporate business giants-including Southwest Airlines, Wal-Mart, McDonald''s, and others-who have forged their paths to performance excellence by mastering the art of strategic standardization. Raising Standards in American Health Care draws on the most current developments in modern management practice and theory such as the balanced scorecard, stretch goals, and the focused health care factory. In addition, the book''s concepts are enhanced by a wealth of helpful materials including descriptive tables, charts, illustrations, internet information sources, and suggested discussion questions that can be used as a springboard for action. Sherman clearly demonstrates that superior outcomes and competitive advantage can be achieved as organizations aggressively raise the standards of American health care. In this landmark book, Sherman outlines a working model of strategic standardization and offers reliable methods to guide health care leaders in their quest to demonstrate measurable change. In clear terms, the author shows how to achieve standardization of defined clinical protocols, administrative and non-clinical functions, as well as standardization in equipment, procedures, professional practice, and organization performances. This innovative organizational model shows leaders how to keep their promise to deliver the highest standards of care far beyond the existing health care performance standards promoted by JCAHO and NCQA-as well as revealing insight into emerging alternative standards that promise to uniformly raise future care levels.
