Management accounting has become a subject of hot debates over the last four decades and has undergone a major transformation. It is argued that traditional management accounting roles have either disappeared or been changed. The debate is based on the belief that roles of ‘Management Accountants’ require new forms of education and training,  with more emphasis on the practicality of the subjec...

for their thoughtful comments and suggestions. I also thank Leon Wansleben, Tobias Werron and the participants of the 2012 Workshop on Global Markets (Lucerne). 2 Making markets: infrastructures, engineers and the moral technologies of finance How do markets change? Conventional sociological accounts answer this question by stressing the weight of social structures on the transactional core of ...

Earthquake is considered as one of the most catastrophic disasters in Iran, in terms of both short-term and longterm hazards. Due to the particular financial and time constraints in Iran, quickly constructed post-earthquake houses (PEHs) do not fulfill the minimum requirements to be considered as comfortable dwellings for people. Consequently, people often transform PEHs after they start to res...

Making use of an universal quantum network – QCPU proposed by me [6], I obtain the whole quantum network which can implement some known quantum algorithms including Deutsch algorithm, quantum Fourier transformation, Shor’s algorithm and Grover’s algorithm. PACS Numbers: 03.67.Lx, 89.80.+h, 03.67-a Typeset using REVTEX Supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant No. 697...

The transformation of financing, the changing nature of financial risks and the resulting policy challenges were the main topics of a meeting on “New financing trends in Latin America: a bumpy ride towards stability” held in Mexico City on May 26–27, 2007 and jointly organised by the Bank for International Settlements and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. This introduction is an overview of ...

We discuss the class of ”Quadratic Normal Volatility” models, which have drawn much attention in the financial industry due to their analytic tractability and flexibility. We characterize these models as the ones that can be obtained from stopped Brownian motion by a simple transformation and a change of measure that only depends on the terminal value of the stopped Brownian motion. This explai...

SDC has financial services knowledge with cross-industry technical skill capabilities. Their emphasis is on advanced development techniques and tools. The model they used is proving to be successful for all parties and the growth process had provided them with invaluable experience and expertise in the HR transformation. The lesson they have is that they need to ensure that they have a strong p...

This paper develops a model of a representative transition economy to explain the stylised facts of output declines and real exchange rate appreciation in the early stages of transformation. These facts can be explained by supply-side shocks, interest rate liberalisation or a reduction in core inflation. The policy implication is that price liberalisation in advance of financial liberalization ...
