Manager's Guide to Compliance: Sarbanes-Oxley, COSO, ERM, COBIT, IFRS, BASEL II, OMB's A-123, ASX 10, OECD Principles, Turnbull Guidance, Best Practices, and Case Studies (Manager's Guide Series)

Book Description

Compliance requirements are here to stay.

Prepare your company for the growing challenge.

A Wall Street Journal/Harris poll revealed that two thirds of investors express doubts in the ability of corporate boards of directors to provide effective oversight. In the shadow of recent global scandals involving businesses such as Parmalat and WorldCom, Manager's Guide to Compliance: Best Practices and Case Studies is essential reading for you, whether your organization is a major corporation or a small business.

This timely handbook places U.S. and global regulatory information, as well as critical compliance guidance, in an easy-to-access format and helps you make sense of all the complex issues connected with fraud and compliance.

"Wide perspectives and best practices combined deliver a punch that will knock your 'SOX' off! The author has blended together a critical mix necessary for effectively handling the requirements of SOX."
—Rob Nance, Publisher, AccountingWEB, Inc.

"Robust compliance and corporate governance is an absolute necessity in today's business environment. This new book by Anthony Tarantino is an authoritative guide to understanding and implementing compliance and regulatory requirements in the United States and around the world. From SOX to COSO to ERM, this book covers them all."
—Martin T. Biegelman, Certified Fraud Examiner, Fellow and Regent Emeritus of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, and coauthor of Executive Roadmap to Fraud Prevention and Internal Control: Creating a Culture of Compliance

"If compliance wasn't difficult enough, now companies are faced with a barrage of technology vendors claiming to automate compliance as if it were a project. In his new book, Dr. Tarantino paints the reality of the situation: companies need to embrace the broader tenets of governance and use technology to embed governance policies and controls into their daily business processes. Only then can they gain business value from their compliance investments."
—Chris Capdevila, CEO and cofounder, LogicalApps

Reference only.......2007-07-04

Useful as a reference guide, but not something that I would recommend as the first or last read on Compliance. Have kept it around as a great reference document.

very useful book.......2007-03-13

i have just read some chapter such as Sarbanes-Oxley and fast scan the other. I think it is the book which i look for.

Outstanding.......2007-01-24

Prior to reading this book I knew almost nothing about compliance. The book is well written and easy to understand for anyone that has formal accounting education. The book provided a tremendous amount of insight, and was very practical. The book has helped out at work tremendously.

Most Helpful for My Accounting and Auditing Groups.......2006-04-29

As the CFO of a privately held company looking to go public in the next few years this is what we needed to focus our compliance and governance programs.

Essential Reading for My US and Chinese Businesses.......2006-04-29

Dr. Tarantino's book was exactly what I needed to understand the many regulations facing my businesses in the US and China. It will be required reading for my various managers and directors.

Order delays.......2006-02-25

The book never showed up. I needed to order it 2nd time and cancel 1st order. It took me almost a month before I got it.

An excellent book for starters!!! Great job....Gallagher.......2001-08-30

This is an excellent book for those who want to delve into finance. It is equivalent to 2nd year material. Finance, most often offered in 3rd year here in Canada, requires knowledge of statistics (i.e. stats, econometrics...etc Intermediate level; 2nd year) when reviewing certain budgeting options; you won't need this for the book. Don't be dismaid, your not missing key information by using this 2nd year stuff (you get all of the math too at an easier to comprehend level).
The disk included with mine helps to build your financial knowledge through a website connection and with practice, but this is not mandatory and is designed for the hardcore finance junkies like myself.
It is only a 4-star because I want more challenging material, but being a 2nd year course I have to wait until 3rd year.

Book Description

This is a key textbook for specialist readers of accounting and finance, either undergraduate or professional, taking a first course in auditing. In this third edition the authors continue to provide a refreshing, imaginative and thorough introduction to the audit process, with a rational and coherent foundation for the appreciation of auditing practice. The text is entirely brought up to date with changes post-Enron, with new auditing standards including IAS, and with changes in UK company law. With the aid of numerous examples, case studies and questions, The Audit Process: Principles, Practice and Cases provides a realistic and thought-provoking insight into the individual components of the auditing process in the context of the entire audit. A major strength of the book is its questioning approach, designed to encourage the student to interact with the material.

Customer Reviews:

The book lacks any system.......2000-10-19

Most importantly, the book lacks any system and after reading it you do not really get the big picture and systematic view of hte auditing process. Many chapters are long winded: it takes the authors long time to say something. The cases are not as many and do not give very good examples of the auditing process as I was expecting before buying the book.

The Best book for learning auditing.......2000-05-15

First, the book begins with a case of small business (Andrew and James, two friends, are going in a busines of selling of a bunkrupt stock; James stays out of active business due to a accidental broken leg till the end of the 6 month period where this the time for sharing the profit of this joint-venture.) which is the clearest one telling the very concept of the subject (auditing in this case). And also the presantion is very good, case studies, activities are very good and subject is clearly explained around those. The small notes at side of each page are also very informative and they accelarate the reading and understanding of the subject. The questions and answers at the second part of the book (actually 30 pages at the end of the book of total 650 or so pages of the book)is very helpful. And each chapter contains at the end a useful list of reading materials as referance and further reading. If you want to learn auditing process both in theory and practice this the book where you should look at first.

Covers all the basics of bookkeeping.......2005-06-10

What are the basics of 'double-entry accounting', and how can it be done? This totally updated 6th edition of a popular study covers all the basics of bookkeeping, from handling petty cash and using spreadsheets to account for VAT taxes, a British tax system. While there are a few principles such as VAT which are UK-specific, plenty of solid and easily-transferred basics will easy cross country lines to appeal to a world-wide audience. Mastering Book-Keeping is highly recommended, especially for those relatively new to the complexities of corporate bookkeeping in multinational companies.

Excel Applications for Accounting Principles (with Excel Templates Computer Disk).......2007-09-06

The book did not come with the CD (even though it was supposed to). It was noted on the packing slip that no CD was found. They should have contacted me instead of shipping the product. I had to pay shipping charges back to Owls Books. I WOULD NOT recommend using them.

Book Description

A Systems Approach to Small Group Interaction pioneered the systems approach and is the only book that integrates all important small group topics into a single comprehensive conceptual model. The text also features a unique systematic organization. Each chapter begins with a brief preview, followed by a glossary of terms, a real life case study, and then the chapter text material; next comes several experiential exercises for skill development, and finally the chapter concludes with two original readings.

This is MY professor you guys are talkin' about!!!!.......2004-02-03

These reviews just blow me away and impress me so much since I have Stu as a professor this semeseter (winter 2004) at Eastern Michigan University.
All i can say is that he is already my favorite professor EVER at this school, and he is not just talk, he definately lives what hey says and he is a great person.
I truely reccomend the listed book for use as a class room text, a refference and a leisure reading selection.

Stewart Tubbs offers a solid body of research........2000-09-13

Stewart L. Tubbs is arguably the center of the Organizational Management Universe. His keen insight into how small groups interact is a complete compendium of the essence of how small groups behave in the work environment. To Human Resource Managers, this is a foundational reference manual. This text contains the facts behind each of our common experiences as members of the business community. This text confirms our good hunches and refutes our bad habits. This text will show you who in your organization is in need of some direction and who is on the ball with the latest techniques of inspiring the best in your people. I highly recommend this book as a college textbook and as a resource for good, meaningful, solid business practice. Well done Dr. Tubbs!
