    Product Description

    A supplement for junior/senior and graduate level courses in Investments, Behavioral Finance Theory, and related courses. This brief text makes the case for the inefficient market and the complexity and chaos on asset pricing, positioning the efficient market paradigm at the extreme end of a spectrum of possible states. It presents a comprehensive and organized collection of the evidence contradicting market efficiency.

    From the Back Cover

    In this Third Edition, Robert Haugen focuses on the evidence, causes, and history of overreactive pricing in the stock market. He argues that, unlike the other social sciences, economic models aggregate from the assumed behaviors of individuals to predictions about market pricing. These models fail to capture the complexity of human interaction. In addition, Haugen argues that each interaction is entirely unique. The complexity and the uniqueness of interactions make it impossible to generalize from the preferences of individuals to meaningful conclusions about the structure and behavior of market prices. The logical conclusion: Both rational and behavioral economics should be reconsidered.

    Bob Haugen is Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Irvine. He serves as Managing Partner to Haugen Custom Financial Systems, which licenses portfolio management software to pension funds, endowments, and institutional and high-net-worth money managers.

    For further study on the author's unique approach to stock market analysis, read the entire Bob Hougen series, The Inefficient Stock Market, What Pays Off and Why, and Beast on Wall Street.

    Review

    "I feel that the book is excellent for both the student who is preparing for the CPA exam and for the student who is preparing to become an analyst on Wall Street." -- Paul Zarowin, NYU

    "This book makes a great tool to teach both Intermediate Accounting as well as Financial Statement Analysis. It is particularly useful as a single text that bridges across both these courses, as we use it at NYU." -- Partha Mohanram, NYU--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

    Product Description

    Financial Reporting & Analysis (FR&A) by Revsine/Collins/Johnson/Mittelstaedt emphasizes both the process of financial reporting and the analysis of financial statements. This book employs a true "user" perspective by discussing the contracting and decision implications of accounting and this helps readers understand why accounting choices matter and to whom. Revsine, Collins, Johnson, and Mittelstaedt train their readers to be good financial detectives, able to read, use, and interpret the statements and-most importantly understand how and why managers can utilize the flexibility in GAAP to manipulate the numbers for their own purposes.

    Review

    "…a useful, informative, enlightening and easy-to-read book." (Accounting Technician, February 2006)

    Product Description

    Praise for Accounts Receivable Management Best Practices

    "An excellent reference tool on how to manage the accounts receivable process for any company. The use of real-life examples makes the concepts easy to understand. I recommend the book to anyone who wants to improve cash flow and reduce bad debt loss."
    —Michael E. Beaulieu, Senior Vice President, Finance Cardinal Health

    "Rather than simply explaining how to get the greatest return from an investment in accounts receivable, John G. Salek reveals how companies shoot themselves in the foot when management sets policies and procedures without consideration of the impact on cash flow. Accounts Receivable Management Best Practices isn't just for credit and collection professionals who often spend more time cleaning up process errors and other corporate 'garbage,' instead of managing risk. It should be required reading for C-level executives, the sales staff, operations managers, and anybody else whose job impacts the order-to-cash cycle."
    —David Schmidt, Principal, A2 Resources Coauthor of Power Collecting: Automation for Effective Asset Management

    "Enhancing a company's competitive profile is all about giving enough customers the right product, at the right price, at the right time. This author's real-world approach to accomplishing this goal through the prism of receivables management makes this book a must-read for those companies looking to make their mark as an organization that cares about its customers as well as their own need to produce financial results."
    —Bruce C. Lynn, Managing Director The Financial Executives Consulting Group, LLC

    "I have worked with John Salek since 1992, both as his client and as a project manager working with his organization. His knowledge of receivables management . . . the technology, the processes, and the formula for success . . . are unsurpassed in the field."
    —Stephen L. Watts, Manager, Global Receivables (retired) General Electric Medical Systems

    "Mr. Salek has written a masterpiece on the intricacies and management of the accounts receivable portfolio. I would recommend this book to CFOs, controllers, treasurers, credit managers, and small business owners."
    —Steve Kozack, Credit Manager Lennox Hearth Products

    "Written by an author who has been in the trenches and cites actual examples. This is not written in theory, but from practice."
    —Milt Dardis, Collection Consultant Dardis & Associates

    Product Description

    Comparative International Accounting by Nobes and Parker, now in its eleventh edition, is renowned for its depth of discussion and comparative coverage of the international dimensions of financial accounting and reporting.

    It uncovers the conceptual and contextual foundations of the increasingly used International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and contrasts them with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Nobes and Parker examine the key issues inherent in the subject such as transition, harmonization and political lobbying and the international differences that remain. They also look at the special accounting problems of multinational companies.

    Comparative International Accounting has been extensively revised for the many changes in international accounting since the last edition.

    From the Publisher

    In this edition, the text has been up-dated and restructured to reflect the development and changes since the third edition appeared in 1991, both in regulation and teaching of the subject internationally. It remains an authoritative, popular and accessible examination of the context and issues of comparative International accounting, as well as on the financial reporting in individual countries. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
