Project Management and Leadership Skills for Engineering and Construction Pro…

If one word could describe the essence of project management it is responsibility. The project manager (PM) is responsible for all that happens on a project. This doesn’t mean the project manager should or could do everything associated with the project; it does mean the PM owns ultimate responsibility for the project, regardless of who is on the project team and regardless of the obstacles…

Global Governance in Accounting

When we think about the future of the modern state, we encounter a puzzling variety of scholarly diagnoses and prophecies. Some authors predict nothing less than the total demise of the state as a useful model for organizing society – its powers eroded by a dynamic global economy and by an increasing transference of political decision-making powers to supranational bodies. Others disagree p…

Fair Value Accounting Fraud

Anyone who has read a newspaper or watched the evening news in recent years is well aware that fraudulent financial reporting by big businesses has reached alarming levels.

Principles of Financial Economics

Financial economics plays a far more prominent role in the training of economists than it did even a few years ago.
