This reference covers the basic and fundamental accounting techniques required to compile consolidated financial statements covering the operations of enterprises, which at the end of their financial year have a subsidiary or subsidiaries under their control and/or subsidiaries and associated companies as set forth in the International Accounting Standards IAS 27, IFRS3, and IAS28. Of particular use to practitioners and students in developing countries, the text employs a building-block approach to gradually introduce topics of increasing complexity and contains practical examples of how compliance with international accounting standards can be achieved and how outcomes can be determined. Also included are tutorial exercises with suggested solutions.

Designed to make consolidation more approachable for the student, this textbook by Paul Mahony & Niall MacLochlainn leads the reader step-by-step through the consolidation of financial statements, supported by numerous examples, comprehensive questions and fully worked solutions.

The recent global financial and economic crisis has had surprising effects on several economies worldwide. This global event has promoted the discussion on how ethical, transparent, and rigorous the accountability of public sector institutions is. However, public manager accountability is translated into a vision that goes beyond its sphere of activity, demanding information on how public resources have been managed based on the maximization of social welfare and sustainable development. Tools, Strategies, and Practices for Modern and Accountable Public Sector Management is an essential reference source that discusses the process behind how public resources are managed as well as how they are coordinated to achieve collective success. Featuring research on topics such as corporate responsibility, fiscal accountability, and public administration, this book is ideally designed for researchers, managers, financial authorities, auditors, public managers, public administrators, regulatory authorities, accountants, professionals, and students involved with the accountability and reform of public management in local governments.

Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs) are measures that indicate the current financial health and soundness of a country's financial institutions, and their corporate and household counterparts. FSIs include both aggregated individual institution data and indicators that are representative of the markets in which the financial institutions operate. FSIs are calculated and disseminated for the purpose of supporting macroprudential analysis--the assessment and surveillance of the strengths and vulnerabilities of financial systems--with a view to strengthening financial stability and limiting the likelihood of financial crises. Financial Soundness Indicators: Compilation Guide is intended to give guidance on the concepts, sources, and compilation and dissemination techniques underlying FSIs; to encourage the use and cross-country comparison of these data; and, thereby, to support national and international surveillance of financial systems.
