En el área de la contabilidad el activo se define como un recurso controlado por la empresa, del cual se busca obtener flujos de beneficios futuros. Los activos se clasifican en corrientes o no corrientes de acuerdo con su facilidad de conversión a efectivo, su administración eficiente en obligaciones, inversiones y transacciones es esencial para todo tipo de empresas sin importar el tamaño. Desde las micro, pequeñas y medianas empresas (mipymes) -que según la Cepal son el 99 % de las empresas en América Latina- hasta las multinacionales necesitan tener los conocimientos mínimos sobre activos que les permitan tomar decisiones operativas, financieras y de inversión acertadas. Contabilidad de activos es una guía básica para el registro, medición y presentación contable de activos empresariales en mipymes con base en las Normas Internacionales de Información Financiera (NIIF) -también conocidas por sus siglas en inglés como IFRS, International Financial Reporting Standards- y el grupo de normas colombianas que deberán manejarse hasta el 2019. Esta tercera edición explica cómo medir, analizar, presentar y revelar diferentes tipos de activos como efectivo, deudores, inventarios, propiedades e intangibles, entre otros. Es, además, el segundo de tres libros del mismo autor (junto con Contabilidad de Patrimonio y Contabilidad de Pasivos) sobre los componentes de la ecuación básica de la contabilidad.

The bestselling book, now with a new preface by the authors At once a bold defense and reimagining of capitalism and a blueprint for a new system for doing business, Conscious Capitalism is for anyone hoping to build a more cooperative, humane, and positive future. Whole Foods Market cofounder John Mackey and professor and Conscious Capitalism, Inc. cofounder Raj Sisodia argue that both business and capitalism are inherently good, and they use some of today’s best-known and most successful companies to illustrate their point. From Southwest Airlines, UPS, and Tata to Costco, Panera, Google, the Container Store, and Amazon, today’s organizations are creating value for all stakeholders—including customers, employees, suppliers, investors, society, and the environment. Read this book and you’ll better understand how four specific tenets—higher purpose, stakeholder integration, conscious leadership, and conscious culture and management—can help build strong businesses, move capitalism closer to its highest potential, and foster a more positive environment for all of us.

An in-depth, enlightening look at the integrated reporting movement The Integrated Reporting Movement explores the meaning of the concept, explains the forces that provide momentum to the associated movement, and examines the motives of the actors involved. The book posits integrated reporting as a key mechanism by which companies can ensure their own long-term sustainability by contributing to a sustainable society. Although integrated reporting has seen substantial development due to the support of companies, investors, and the initiatives of a number of NGOs, widespread regulatory intervention has yet to materialize. Outside of South Africa, adoption remains voluntary, accomplished via social movement abetted, to varying degrees, by market forces. In considering integrated reporting’s current state of play, the authors provide guidance to ensure wider adoption of the practice and success of the movement, starting with how companies can improve their own reporting processes. But the support of investors, regulators, and NGOs is also important. All will benefit, as will society as a whole. Readers will learn how integrated reporting has evolved over the years, where frameworks and standards are today, and the practices that help ensure effective implementation—including, but not limited to an extensive discussion of information technology’s role in reporting and the importance of corporate reporting websites. The authors introduce the concepts of an annual board of directors' "Statement of Significant Audiences and Materiality" and a "Sustainable Value Matrix" tool that translates the statement into management decisions. The book argues that the appropriate combination of market and regulatory forces to speed adoption will vary by country, concluding with four specific recommendations about what must be done to accelerate high quality adoption of integrated reporting around the world.
