From the supplier: Douglas C. Burnette, president-elect of the National Society of Accountants (NSA) for 1997-1998, urges NSA members to evolve with the changes which the accountancy practice demands. He stresses that doing so would eventually lead to increased membership within the NSA which is necessary for the practice to thrive. Burnette added how there should be no room for discrimination and emphasized the importance of having more young accountants since the future of the practice depends on them.

From the supplier: Public Act 10 of 1997 greatly affected the practice of public accounting in Michigan. Part of the controversy surrounding PA 10 is the legitimation of nontraditional public accounting practices such as contingency fees, commissions, non-CPA equity in a CPA firm and the purveying of insurance and financial products and services. However, the most significant impact of the law is the inclusion of expanded business advisory services in the practice of public accounting. Some of the reasons to consider expanding business advisory services include competition and minimized risk.

From the supplier: The adoption of PA 380 gave way to the amendment of the Michigan Accountancy Act of 1997 to increase certified public accountant (CPA) candidates' education requirements. The law, which will take effect on Jul 1, 2003, requires CPA candidates to pass the Exam, have one year of public accounting experience and obtain 150 semester hours of college education. One positive impact of the law is the production of more educated CPAs via more educated group of candidates, which have more than technical knowledge of their profession.

From the supplier: Practicing accountants are calling for more changes in the proposed Internal Revenue Code alternative minimum tax (AMT) rules. The AMT provisions, which were designed to prevent corporations from avoiding corporate income tax payments, are included in the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. The new tax law simplifies taxation, including small business tax exemptions and AMT depreciation adjustment.

From the supplier: The US 2d Circuit Court of Appeals in Adlman held that the work product doctrine could apply to documents prepared by an accounting firm in anticipation of litigation which could arise out of the subject business transaction. Documents had been prepared regarding the tax results of a potential business reorganization. The broad interpretation is consistent with the provision in the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1997 which would extend the attorney-client confidentiality privilege to nonlawyers dealing with the IRS.

Book Description

For organizational and personal change to happen and be sustainable, there must first be a system of thought balanced against action. Williams and his concept of "congruence" provide an alternative to the often chaotic, unbalanced ways in which change is currently understood and its accomplishment attempted. He challenges the organizational model of compartmentalized structures, offers a persuasive refutation of the fashionable paradigm of organizational transformation (one based on dominance and control), and argues a provocative notion that innovation is actually the successful result of reworking what has not worked before. A new look at the processes that create organizational movement, Williams' latest book is a guide for leaders, managers, consultants, and corporate practitioners, and a new way for students, teachers, and researchers to rethink the entire change process. Williams has found through his own experience that people focus too closely on the "action" behaviors of organizations and too little on the thinking behind them. The result is that gaps open up and create pitfalls in our efforts to achieve excellence in human and organizational performance. Williams suggests that organizations innovate themselves into failure. To counter this, he provides a true systemic approach to enhancing organizational performance, a system of what he visualizes as "congruence," a way to fit thoughts to actions. It is as much a way of thinking, says Williams, as it is a method toward goals--goals that are clear and essential to the survival of any organization. Drawing liberally upon his own expertise as a teacher, consultant, and therapist, he helps others to appreciate the successes that can be realized when balance and the alignment of thought and action are achieved, and when the search for change becomes a planned, focused, and systemic endeavor.

A POWERFUL EXPLORATION OF HUMAN ORGANZIATION!.......2005-05-20

The author, an organizational psychologist, consultant, and professor, states that the challenge in this book is to explore a concept of congruence relating to effective organizational and managerial performance.

This is a book about organization, business options and strategies, and innovation, but the overarching theme is congruence. Williams points out that people spend 78% of their lives within organizations and this reality makes clear the need for a sound conceptual base for the integration of people and systems.

This book focuses on a body of knowledge that balances and requires the bringing together of many disciplines to create a theory of congruence and transformation (of both organization and the individual).

It is a treasure trove of knowledge and insights, bound to inform, stimulate, and delight anyone who seeks a multidimensional understanding of human organization. Open to any page and you are likely to become absorbed in the rich content that Williams presents.

The book is deep and rich with substance. It is sure to appeal to those of who are always hunting for those hard-to-find books that go below the surface of facile bullet-points or 'how-to' steps, with little or no mention or concern for the 'why's' or context. As a organization consultant (FutureOrganization.com) I was quickly drawn into this book. I found this book packed with first-rate thinking, cover-to-cover. Very highly recommended.

Book Description

This book addresses the challenge of combating the growing levels of stress, disenchantment and frustration among people at work. According to the author, the root cause of this crisis is that we have been managing our lives and work divorced from heart and spirit. The book, therefore, advocates a new and holistic paradigm that synthesizes ancient wisdom with modern principles of management.

Book Description

Contracts in employment are of two kinds: the formal, written contract and the equally important, informal and unwritten psychological contract--how people think they should be treated. Both involve rights, obligations and expectations on the part of the employer and the employee, and a breach in one can have important effects on the other. For example, how people feel they are being treated by the organization can affect their perception of their levels of pay. Organizations and the Psychological Contract has two main aims in exploring these issues in the organizational context: to act as a handbook for practicing managers, and as a basic text in management courses. Relevant theories are explained and developed using practical examples, self-assessment exercises, and case studies. This is a revised and much expanded version of Managing People at Work, with the addition of chapters on Selection and Career Development, Understanding and Coping with Change, Empowerment and Self-Management, and the Behavioural Approach to Motivation. As well as undertaking research into many aspects of organizational life, the authors have many years' experience as consultants, acting for industrial and commercial organizations in all sectors of the economy.
