XBRL the impact on your finance function

It's time for larger and smaller businesses to consider the short term challenges and longer term benefits that extensible business reporting language could bring. By Audrey Besson Levine. The UK is following the US lead in planning to make coding language XBRL obligatory for corporate filings by 2011. Many still question and debate the usefulness of the tool and the required learning curve might scare some. But finance functions in both larger and smaller companies should now be investigating the long term benefits of the tool for them. Conceived in April 1998 by Charles Hoffman, XBRL, the Extensible Business Reporting Language, has been subsequently launched in several parts of the world and has even become mandatory for public company statutory fillings in countries such as the US and Japan. From bookkeeper to business partner Beyond regulatory compliance, the use of XBRL could prove to have a significant impact on the future of the finance function. It can enhanc...

John Grisham

John Grisham is been among my favorite authors for quite some time now. I have read all his published works but for the collection of short stories. (including Theodore Boone). If you have interest in the legal world and esp if you want to know more how the american system works you have to read couple of JG's books. Happy reading... Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer

கத்திரியின் கதை!

கத்திரி இந்தியாவில் இருந்து உலகம் முழுக்க பரவிய ஒரு காய். கிட்டத்தட்ட 4000 ஆயிரம் ஆண்டுகளாக நாம் விளைவித்து உண்ணும் காய். 1901 இல் உருவான  மொன்சாண்டோ நிறுவனம் உருவாக்கி தரும் விதைகளை கொண்டு கத்திரி பயிர் செய்யலாமா என்று அரசு கேட்கிறது. நல்லா வேலையாக இன்று அமைச்சர் திரு ரமேஷ் அவர்கள் மொன்சாண்டோ விதைகளை தட்போதைக்கு தடை செய்துள்ளார். அரசு இதை எக்காலத்திற்கும் தடை செய்யவேண்டும். காரணம்: 1 நம்முடைய முன்னோர் பாடுபட்டு சேர்த்த விதைகள் அழியும். 2 அமெரிக்க நிறுவன விதைகளின் பின்விளைவுகள் நமக்கு தெரியாது 3 நம்முடைய விவசாயம் மழை மற்றும் மொன்சாண்டோ விதைகளை சார்ந்து இருக்க வேண்டும் 4 உணவு உற்பத்தியில் தன்னிறைவு அடைந்த நாம் அதை இழப்போம். (உலக கத்திரி உற்பத்தியில் 26 % நம்முடையது ) 5 விவசாய நிலம் அதனுடைய விளைச்சல் தன்மையை இழக்கும்.  மொன்சாண்டோ இதை கண்முடித்தனமாக விற்க முயற்சிப்பதன் காரணம் என்ன? மொன்சாண்டோ    உலகம் முழுக்க கடை பரப்பி உதை வாங்கி விட்டு இந்தியா வந்துள்ளது. ஊருக்கு இளைத்தவன் பிள்ளையார் கோவில் ஆண்டி என்பது போல நாம் உள்ளோமா என்ன?  http://www.monsanto.com/pdf/in...

Private oil companies may get govt subsidy

This was among the top stories which got my attention….. and i had a thought what will happen if it is gonna happen…. I may be right or wrong… if i am wrong pls correct me….   Pros for them (in numbers) and Opportunities for us in(alphabets) the disguise of cons…. 1. Private Oil Companies though will be compensated for the sales, might prefer to operate the pumps which are logistically profitable in the short run as well as in the long run. ( Obviously all the current ones are already planned for that…so may be no new pumps in rural areas) a. In the current budget the Govt has allocated a lot of funds to rural areas. This might increase our sales in rural areas due to improvement in road transport, where we will be having  a small outlet. If sales increases we will be in a position to capture it rather than a private player tapping it.   2.They will have a marketing plan for each and every market. Say for example Car Owners in a particular area, College Students in ...

How to make effective decisions

How to make effective decisions As an accountant and business partner, making decisions is an important part of your job. But good decision making needs practice. By Duncan Brodie FCMA, director of Goals and Achievements. Delaying decisions can have many negative consequences. For example, imagine that you failed to take a decision about a projected cash shortfall. You would not be taking any action such as arranging an overdraft, extending supplier payment terms or focusing on collecting monies owed to your organisation. You would get an unwelcome outcome - running out of cash is not likely to build your reputation. Barriers to effective decision making There are many reasons why people resist taking decisions. These include: 1. Procrastination - delaying or putting off something so that a small decision ends up becoming a major one. 2. Information overload - you have so much information that you don't know where to begin. 3. Waiting for perfect information - accounta...
