• Environmental and Social Accounting for China Business (Part 1) - Editor, 11 February 2008

Have you read our earlier piece entitled “Management Accounting for China Business Supremacy”? We find that accounting can do more than tote up the numbers. It all depends on how the figures are presented. Leaving out some aspects of an enterprise can also make a business look different. Environmental and Social Accounting can help China business work improve. The first results can be frightening! Perhaps there are groups of people who get hurt. A Kaizen approach helps us take a positive view of matters. No one is perfect. Everyone can take small steps towards doing things better. Environmental and social accounts next year can be better than they are now.

How China Business Can Protect Investors

It is always better to avoid extremes. The stakeholder concept should not make stock investors feel left out! China business can adapt management accounting systems to take care of particular investor concerns. The Trailing Twelve Months (TTM) concept of influential US business web sites is an important lead. China business should move away from quarterly comparisons alone. There could be many seasonal variations for quarterly changes. A TTM approach is more reliable. Sensitivity Analysis is uncommon even in the US. China business can stand apart by show-casing Net Present Value (NPV) under various assumptions. This applies to the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) as well. Who knows the future for sure? Even pay-back periods can change in adverse business conditions. Sensitivity profiles of pay-back, NPV, and IRR, will encourage investors. Everyone gains if investment analysis is complete!

Management Accounting for China Business Supremacy (Part 1)

Inflation & Related Adjustments to See True China Business Values

Even highly envious adversaries of China business are justified in expressing fears about inflation as a result of the unprecedented economic growth of an alleged sleeping giant of yesteryear! The eventual reconstruction of vast areas destroyed by US military forces and their allies, to rid resource-rich areas of the Middle East from inimical forces, may eventually rival the frenetic pace of peaceful China business growth, but it remains without parallel even in the halcyon days of the Marshall Plan. Economic progress by myriad Chinese citizens, and geometric demand growth in the consumption of a multitude of materials and intangible resources, combine to make gaps between supplies and demands as factors of dismay rather than delight.
