Accounting Suggestions For Mississippi Businessmen, William V. George Jan 1950

Accounting Suggestions For Mississippi Businessmen, William V. George

Individual and Corporate Publications

Mississippi businessmen, in fact all businessmen, should be vitally interested in the operating results of their enterprises. They are hopeful of increasing net income. The tool which produces the results they are so interested in is accounting, often referred to as the language of business, the medium through which operating results are made known.

Outline For A Management Audit, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Policyholders Service Bureau

Individual and Corporate Publications

Most progressive companies make it a point to audit their accounts at least once a year in order to establish the adequacy and accuracy of such accounts and to reveal fiscal weaknesses that may need correction. The periodic inventorying and appraising of physical assets is also an accepted practice. There is need for the same sort of stock-taking as applied to the management of a business. This can be accomplished through the medium of a management audit. Through this device, a business executive undertakes, in effect, to back off and survey his company critically and objectively.

Plan For A Standard Form Of Municipal Reports To Be Published Annually By Towns In In The Commonwealth, Harvey S. Chase

Individual and Corporate Publications

What the citizens of the towns and cities must have, if they are to vote intelligently concerning their community's affairs, are intelligible and prompt reports covering the transactions of the year, to be sent to voters before the annual town meeting. These must be arranged in such standardized form that each subdivision of the accounts will be comparable with similar subdivisions in other towns' reports. The same words must mean the same things and not quite different things, as is frequently the case now. Such impartial, standard and prompt reports can be provided only under mandatory laws of the States. …

Depreciation: Treatment In Production Costs, Chamber Of Commerce Of The United States Of America. Department Of Manufacture

Individual and Corporate Publications

This computation can not be exact because the elements affecting depreciation are many and their relative importance difficult to determine. The use and character of property, its maintenance, the quality of installation, and often local conditions variously modify the life of property, while an unexpected industrial advance may suddenly terminate the usefulness of property and completely upset depreciation calculations.
