The logic of pension accounting

2. Pensions as an expense

2.1. Early approaches to pension accounting

In the USA and UK, private-sector employer-sponsored pension arrangements began to appear in the second half of the 19th century, and were often associated with large organizations such as railways, in sura nee compa nies and banks (Ha nn ah, 1986: 10 -2; Chan dar and Miranti,2007: 206). Accounting for these arrangements was often very simple. The cost recognized by the employer was effectively the cash paid in a given period. Some schemes operated on a ‘pa-yas-you-go'basis, where the employer made no advance provision for retirement benefits. In this case, the cost each period equaled the benefits paid. In a scheme where the employer made contributions to an external fund invested in securities, out of which benefits would be paid, or made notional contributions to an internal account, the cost would be the contributions arising in each period, possibly augmented by interest on notional contributions if these were not used to purchase securities. However, many employers granted pensions to enable employees to retire, even though no advance provision had been made.

The ‘expens-aes-you-pay'accounting for pensions was rationali zed through the ‘gratuity theory 'of retirement benefits (McGill et al., 2004: 16).This theory proposed that retirement benefits were awarded to retirees at the discretion of the employer, ‘as a kindly act on the par an employer towards old retainers who have served him faithfull y and well '(Pilch and Wood, 1979: 2). Paying a pension was not necessarily an act of pure benevolence, because it could allow an employer to retire an employee who was no longer performing adequately, without incurring public criticism. The gratuity theory implied that the employer received an efficiency gain when superannuated employees retired, and that the appropriate point at which to recognize the cost of pensions was as the pensions were paid. If the employer wanted to earmark some earnings in a distinct pension reserve before employees retired, then this would be regarded as an appropriation of profit rather than as an expense. Even in structured pension schemes, the employer might include clauses denying the existence of an enforceable contract, stressing that pension benefits

were paid en tirely at the employer ' s discreti on and could be disc on ti nued at any time (St one, 1984: 24).

However, the gratuity theory rapidly came under challenge from the view that pensions

con stitute ‘ deferred pay ' , ansdnplayees in effect sacrifice curre nt in come in excha nge for the expectati on of in come in the future. On this basis, early acco unting theorists such as Henry Rand Hatfield suggested that employers should in clude in operati ng expe nses tdhe amount n ecessary provide for future pensions ' (Hatfield, 1916: 194). A nu mber of comme ntators observed that the

calculation of such an expense was potentially highly complex, but they suggested that the calculations fell within the domain of actuaries (Stone, 1984: 26).Members of the actuarial profession had already been involved in advising on appropriate contribution rates for pension

schemes involving either external or internal ‘ notional ' funding. In accounting terms, the employer would measure the annual cost of pension provision either directly in terms of amounts calculated by actuaries, if the route of internal funding was followed, or through the contributions (themselves determined by actuaries) to an external pension fund. In the case of external funding, cost would be equal to contributions due for the period, and, other than short-term accruals,pension expense would be based on cash payments (or other assets transferred) to the pension fund.

2.2. The begi nnings of acco unting regulati on

Early authoritative acco unting pronoun ceme nts en dorsed this esse ntially cash-based approach

to pension cost determi natio n. The Committee on Acco un ti ng Procedure of the America n In stitute

of Certified Public Acco un ta nts (AICPA) issued Accou nting Research Bulletin No. 47 Accou nting

for Costs of Pension Plans in 1956, and expressed the view that ‘ costs based on current and futui

services should be systematically accrued during the expected period of active service of the covered employees ' (CAP, 1956). On closer an alysissystematic accrual ' implied that employers

would use the method recommended by the actuary for funding the pension plan to determine the pension expense in respect of current service. This approach was endorsed by the Accounting

Principles Board (APB) in their Opinion No. 8 Accounting for the Cost of Pension Plans, issued in

1966. APB 8 is en tirely cost-based -there are references to -s'hleatepieesi on accruals ' and

‘ balanceheet pension prepayments or deferred charges but no explanation of these terms or how

they are to be determ in ed. Much of the Opinion addresses not the issue of determ ining

‘ no

cost ' ( ‘the annual cost assigned, under the actuarial cost method in use, to years subsequent to the inception of a pension plan or to a particular valuation date' )but rather ‘ passt ervice cost ' ( ‘ pension cost assigned under the actuarial cost method in use, to years prior to the inception of a pension plan ') and ‘ prior service cost' ( ‘ pension cost assigned, under the actuarial cost method in

use, to years prior to the date of a particular actuarial valuation 'Th)e. Opinion goes to great lengths to provide guidance on how these components of pension cost should be recognized, recommending spreading of the costs over a period up to 40 years. A number of features of the accounting treatment of pension costs need to be highlighted. First although it is not made explicit, there is an under-lying desire to arrive at a pension expense in each period that is not materially different from the employer 's contributions to the pension fund. APB 8 notes ‘the amount o pension cost determined under this Opinion may vary from the amounfunded (APB, 1966: para'.

43), but this situation is not analyzed in detail. For unfunded pension plans, costs are to be determined using an actuarial cost method. The criteria for the selection of an appropriate actuarial cost method are that the method is ‘ rational and systematic and should be consistently applied so that it results in a reasonable measure of pension cost from year to year .

养老金会计的逻辑

2养老金费用

2.1早先的养老金会计

在19世纪后期的美国和英国,出现了私人部门雇主赞助的养老金计划,主要集中于铁路公司和保险业、银行业等大型机构(Ha nn ah, 1986: 10 - 12;

Chan dar and Mira nti,2007: 206)。这时的养老金会计往往非常简单。雇主确认

的成本实际上就是一定期间内支付的现金。很多养老金计划是都是在职工退休后进行支付,雇主并没有提供进一步的退休福利。在这种情况下,每段期间内的成

本就是该期间的现金支付。在某些计划中,雇主提供资金投资于外部的证券,用

取得的收益支付养老金,或是向内部的账户提供资金。如果基金没有被用来购买证券,成本将会是每段时间内的服务成本并计上合理的利率。然而,很多雇主为

了能让雇员退休情愿支付养老金,但是并没有提供进一步的福利。

现收现付制养老金会计是建立在“酬金理论”(McGill et al., 2004: 16)

基础上的,这个理论认为养老金是雇主对退休人员的一种奖励,“是雇主对为他

忠诚服务的退休老职工的善意施舍”(Pilch and Wood, 1979: 2)。其实支付养

老金并不是出于纯粹的善意,因为它能让雇主辞退那些工作效率不高的雇员,而不受到社会的指责。“酬金”理论暗示雇主通过辞退落后的职工而使效率得到提高,对养老金成本合适的计量就是支付的养老金金额。如果雇主希望在一个特定的养老金储备预留一些员工退休前的收入,这时他应该确认一部分利润而不是费用。即使在格式化的养老金计划中,雇主也可能会加入这样的条款,否认这是一

种强制的合同,而强调养老金福利完全是根据自己意愿老来支付,任何时候他都

可以终止这项计划(Stone, 1984: 24)。

然而另一种观点的出现马上让“小费理论”受到了挑战。这种观点认为养老金其实是递延的工资,雇员实际上是牺牲了当前的收入而换取未来的收益。在这

个基础上,He nry Rand Hatfield 等人的早些理论认为雇主必须在营业外支出中计入“未来的养老金费用”

(Hatfield, 1916: 194)。很多评论员评论说这种形

式的养老金核算将会非常复杂,他们建议由精算师来完成这些计算。一些精算专家已经在建议为养老金计划提供一种利率,无论针对内部或是外部的名义基金。

在会计处理上,雇主需要计算每年的养老金成本,如果是内部的计划,将会直接采用精算师的计算结果,如

果是外部的基金计划,将采用外部的养老保险基金的贡献(由精算师确定)。外部的基金计划,养老金成本等于某段时间的贡献,养老金费用是根据支付的现金来确定的,而不是应计负债。

2.2 会计监管的开始

早期的权威会计采纳现收现付制来确认养老金成本。AICPA 在1956 年发布会计研究公告第47 准则——有关养老金成本的确认,强调“养老金成本必须将当前和未来的服务成本系统化地分摊到每个参加养老金计划的职工的预期工作年限中去” (CAP, 1956)。进一步的分析,“系统的分摊”意味着雇主们将要采用精算师们建议的方法来确定当前雇员所提供的服务成本。APB 在1966年颁布的养老金计划成本第8号会计准则意见中也同意采取这种方法。APB 8 完全是以成本为基础的,它建议在资产负债表中设置“养老金负债” 和“预付养老金” 项目,但是他们并没有对这些项目做出解释,也没有说明这些项目是如何决定的。《意见》的大部分内容并不是说明如何确认正常成本(在使用精算成本下,每年的费用分配至养老金实施后的期间里或是到某一特定的日期),而是介绍过去成本(在使用精算成本发下,将养老金成本分配至养老金计划实施前几年),和前期服务成本(在使用精算成本下,将养老金成本分配至养老金实施后到一个特定的精算估值日期)。《意见》对于做如何确认养老金成本组成项目提供了详细的指导,建议期间应该要长达40 年以上,而且一系列的养老金会计处理方法特征需要被强调。虽然它没有言明,但是它的潜在意愿是要使确认的养老金费用不要与雇主提存的养老金数额有显著的差别。APB 8 提到根据《意见》确认的养老金成本可能会与雇主提存的养老金数额有所差别,但是并没有对这种情形做详细的分析。对于那些没有经费的养老金计划,成本是根据权责发生制来核算的。应计成本的核算方法的选择标准是能“合理、系统并得到一贯的应用,以使养老金每年都能得到合理的计量”。

New Acco un ti ng Rules for Defined Ben efit Pension Pla ns

MARCH 2008 - Issued in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 158, Employers

'Acco un ti ng for Defined Ben efit Pension and Other Postretireme nt Plans—An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), significantly changes the bala nce-sheet report ing for defi ned ben efit pension pla ns. Before SFAS 158, the effects of certa in even ts, such as pla n ame ndme nts or actuarial gains and losses, were gran ted delayed balance-sheet recognition. As a result, a plan ' s funded status (plan assets minus obligations) was

我国企业养老金会计确认、计量、列报研究

rarely reported on the balanee sheet. SFAS 158 r equires companies to report their plans ' funded

status as either an asset or a liability on their bala nee sheets, which will cause reported pension liabilities to rise sig ni fica ntly. Although SFAS 158 also applies to postretireme nt ben efit pla ns other tha n pensions and to no t-for-profit en tities, the focus below is on for-profit bus in esses with defi ned ben efit pension pla ns.

Balance-Sheet Reporting Under SFAS 158

Under SFAS 87, prepaid or accrued pension cost, which is the net of a firm ' s pension ass

liabilities, and unrecognized amounts, is reported on the balanee sheet. SFAS 158 arguably improves finan cial report ing by more clearly com muni cati ng the fun ded status of defi ned ben efit pension pla ns. Previously, this in formatio n was reported on ly in the detailed pension foot no tes.

Un der SFAS 158, compa nies with defi ned ben efit pension pla ns must recog nize the differe nee betwee n the pla n ' s projected ben efit obligati on and its fair value of pla n assets as either

an asset or a liability. The projected ben efit obligati on is the actuarial prese nt value of the ben efits attributed by the pension pla n ben efit formula for services already provided. As a result, the complex and conceptually unsound

“ minimum pension liability ” rules, which are used when the accumulated ben efit obligati on is less tha n the fair value of pension pla n assets, has bee n elim in ated. (The accumulated ben efit obligati on is similar to the projected ben efit obligati on but does not in clude expected future salary in creases in the calculati on of the prese nt value of actuarial ben efits.) In additi on, the un recog ni zed prior service costs and actuarial gains and losses that were previously relegated to the foot no tes are now recog ni zed on the bala nee sheet, with an offsett ing amount in accumulated other comprehe nsive in come un der shareholders ' equity.

Income Reporting Under SFAS 158

SFAS 158 does not change the computation of periodic pension cost, which remains a function of service cost, interest cost, expected return on pension plan assets, and amortization of unrecognized items. It does, however, impact the reporting of comprehensive income. Specifically, actuarial gains or losses and prior service costs that arise during the period are recognized as components of comprehensive income. In addition, the amortization of actuarial gains or losses, prior service costs, and transition amounts recognized before implementing SFAS 158 require a reclassification adjustment to comprehensive income.

Applying SFAS 158

Exhibit 1 presents pension footnote data for three companies: Lockheed Martin, Glatfelter, and AMR Corp. Lockheed

Martin represents a classic example of a scenario SFAS 158 is designed to eliminate: namely, reporting a pension asset when the pension plan is actually underfunded. Specifically, Lockheed Martin 'psension obligation ($28,421 million) exceeds its plan assets ($23,432 million), meaning the plan is underfunded by the difference, $4,989 million. Previously , Lockheed Martin 'usnrecognized net losses and unrecognized prior service costs (totali ng $7,108 millio n) en abled it to report a pen sion asset of $2,119 millio n ($7,108 -$4,989).

The data for Glatfelter and AMR in Exhibit 1 indicate other likely scenarios under SFAS 158. Glatfelter, while overfunded by $155.3 million, would reduce its reported pension asset by $90 million under SFAS 158. Although AMR currently recognizes a pension liability of $882 million, SFAS 158 would require AMR to significantly increase its reported pension liability to $3,225 million.

An Illustration of the Transition to SFAS 158

The following example uses the actual 2005 data from Exhibit 1 to illustrate how each of these companies would record the transition to the new rules. Because SFAS 158 is generally first effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, the actual numbers these companies record upon transition to SFAS 158 will differ from those in this example. For simplicity, the illustration ignores tax effects.

Exhibit 1 shows that each of the three companies reports additional minimum liabilities and related intangible assets on its balance sheet. These items are eliminated under SFAS 158. In addition, pension assets and liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive income are adjusted so that their ending balances conform to the amounts required under SFAS 158. The necessary journal entries to accomplish the transition, using 2005 data, are presented in Exhibit 2.

Exhibit 3 shows the balance-sheet reporting for each company after posting the entries in

Exhibit 2, and exposes several importa nt poin ts. First, each compa ny reports its fun ded status as either a pension asset or liability. Second, the bala nce in accumulated other comprehe nsive in come equals the amount of previously unrecognized items. In this example, and likely for many compa nies with defi ned ben efit pla ns, the amount of this con tra- shareholders ' equity will in crease under SFAS 158, even potentially generating negative shareholders equity. The transition to SFAS 158 might impose costs on leveraged firms due to the in creased likelihood of tighte ning restrictive debt cove nan ts. Fin ally, the bala nce-sheet prese ntati on, and each compa ny' fiun ded status, should be easier to un dersta nd after SFAS 158 is impleme nted.

Subsequent Application of SFAS 158

SFAS 158 does not impact the amount of periodic pension cost reported on the in come stateme nt, but it does impact the report ing of comprehe nsive in come. For example, assume that

after implementing SFAS 158 Lockheed Martin were to report the financial results in Exhibit 4.

企业员工福利外文翻译文献 (文档含中英文对照即英文原文和中文翻译) 译文: 西方企业员工福利满意度研究述评 摘要:近年来,西方企业管理学界越来越重视员X-福利满意度理论研究,因为员工的福利满意度会直接影响他们的工作态度、工作行为与企业经营管理工作的效果。本文概述了西方企业员工福利满意度理论研究的现状,并根据组织公平理论和双因素理论,探讨福利管理决策公平与不同类型的福利对员工满意度的影响,最后为我国企业加强福利管理工作提出了若干建议。 关键词:福利;满意度;组织公平;双因素理论 一、企业福利政策的发展趋势 福利是员工薪酬的一个重要组成部分。近年来,越来越多的企业为员工提供良好的福利待遇,以便吸引、激励并留住优秀员工。企业的福利政策出现了以下发展趋势:(1)福利在员工薪酬组合中的比重增大,企业支付的福利费用大幅增加。 (2)员工也必须承担部分福利费用。企业以往为员工免费提供所有福利。目前,许

多员工必须承担部分医疗保险、养老保险费用。(3)企业的福利制度越来越复杂,福利形式越来越多样化,管理人员需要花费更多的时间与精力来从事员工福利制度设计与管理工作。许多企业在制定与实施福利制度时较少考虑员工的反应。例如,有些企业为了降低福利费用,采用灵活的福利制度,或将部分福利管理工作外包给其他公司,而不考虑员工是否满意。许多欧美学者认为,企业管理人员在制定与实施福利制度时必须考虑员工的反应。他们的实证研究表明,员工对福利的满意度会直接影响企业福利制度的效果。 二、员工福利满意度理论研究概述 20世纪60年代以来,西方企业管理学界对员工薪酬理论进行了大量的研究。然而,企业管理学者却较少研究员工福利理论。在现有文献中,欧美学者主要从福利的激励作用、员工对福利计划的理解和偏好、福利与员工薪酬满意度的关系、员工的福利满意度等方面研究员工福利理论。美国学者威盛顿(Barton I。.Weathington)和坦切克(I。ois E.Tetrick)指出,企业管理学界在员工福利这个领域的研究成果存在以下不足:(1)许多学者实际上是研究员工的薪酬满意度或工作满意度,而不是研究员工的福利;(2)大多数学者只研究福利对员工的影响,却忽视各类福利对员工工作态度和工作行为的影响;(3)企业管理理论研究人员主要从企业的角度来研究福利制度,却很少考虑员工对福利的态度。近年来,西方企业管理学界逐渐加强了对员工福利满意度的研究。 I.员工福利满意度的计量 1985年,美国学者赫尼曼(Herbert G.Heneman)和希沃布(Donald P.Schwab)编制了一个由18个计量项目组成的“员工薪酬满意度”量表(pay satisfaction questionnaire,简称PSQ)。他们采用以下四个项目来计量员工的“福利满意度”: (1)员工对整套福利的满意度; (2)员工对企业支付的福利费用数额的满意度; (3)员工对福利价值的满意度; (4)员工对福利类别的满意度。 许多欧美企业管理学者在实证研究中把员工的福利满意度作为薪酬满意度的一个组成成分,采用PSQ量表计量员工的福利满意度。 现在,许多欧美学者对员工的福利满意度进行更深入的研究。不少学者认为员工福利满意度是一个多维概念。美国学者戴恩霍(Carol Danehower)与勒斯特(John A.I.ust)指出,员工的福利满意度应包括员工对企业支付的福利费用与企业为他们提供的整套福利的质量的满意度。他们设计了一个由11个项目组成的员工福利满意度量表(benefit satisfaction ques—tionnaire,简称BSQ),从上述两个方面来计量员工的福利满意度。他们的一系列实证研究支持员工的福利满意度是一个二维概念的结论。然而,他们也发现BSQ量表中的某些项目不能很好地计量员工对福利质量的满意度。因此,他们对BSQ量表进行了适当的修改,又增加了两个项目,并于1995年对美国某大学的2 815位员工进行了问卷调查。他们的数据分析结果表明,新的BSQ量表中的13个项目分别属于员工对福利质量的满意度、对福利费用的满意度、对福利信息的满意度三个维度。他们根据数据分析结果,指出员工的福利满意度是一个复杂的多维概念。但是,加拿大学者特兰布雷(Michel Tremblay)等人的实证研究结果并不支持戴恩霍和勒斯特的观点。他们发现,员工的福利满意度是一个单维概念。美国学者米塞利(Marcia P.Miceli)和雷恩(Matthew C.Lane)把员工福利满意度分为两类:一类是员工对福利水平的满意度,它受员工感觉中“应该得到”与“实际得到”的福利之差的影响;另一

本科毕业论文(设计) 外文翻译 外文题目Earnings Management under German GAAP versus IFRS 外文出处 European Accounting Review 外文作者 Tendeloo, B.V., and Vanstraelen, A 原文: Earnings Management under German GAAP versus IFRS Abstract This paper addresses the question whether voluntary adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is associated with lower earnings management. Ball et al. (Journal of Accounting and Economics, 36(1–3), pp. 235–270, 2003) argue that adopting high quality standards might be a necessary condition for high quality information, but not necessarily a sufficient one. In Germany, a code-law country with low investor protection rights, a relatively large number of companies have chosen to voluntarily adopt IFRS prior to 2005. We investigate whether German companies that have adopted IFRS engage significantly less in earnings management compared to German companies reporting under German generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), while controlling for other differences in earnings management incentives. Our sample, consisting of German listed companies, contains 636 firm-year observations relating to the period 1999–2001. Our results suggest that IFRS-adopters do not present different earnings management behavior compared to companies reporting under German GAAP. These findings contribute to the current debate on whether high quality standards are sufficient and effective in countries with weak investor protection rights. They indicate that voluntary adopters of IFRS in Germany cannot be associated with lower earnings management. 1.

老龄化和退休养老金外文翻译文献

文献信息 文献标题:Active Ageing, Pensions and Retirement in the UK(英国的积极老龄化、养老金和退休) 文献作者:Liam Foster 文献出处:《Journal of Population Ageing》,2018,11(2):117-132 字数统计:英文3829单词,20396字符;中文6752汉字 外文文献 Active Ageing, Pensions and Retirement in the UK Abstract The ageing population has led to increasing concerns about pensions and their future sustainability. Much of the dominant policy discourse around ageing and pension provision over the last decade has focussed on postponing retirement and prolonging employment. These measures are central to productive notions of ‘active ageing’. Initially the paper briefly sets out the pension developments in the UK. Then it introduces active ageing and active ageing policy, exploring its implications for UK pension provision. It demonstrates that a more comprehensive active ageing framework, which incorporates a life-course perspective, has the potential to assist the UK to respond to the challenges of an ageing population. In doing so it needs to highlight older people as an economic and social resource, and reduce barriers to older people’s participation in society. Keywords: Active ageing, Extending working lives, UK, Longevity, Pensions Introduction The world’s population is ageing. The number of people aged 65 or older worldwide is projected to grow from 524 million in 2010 to nearly 1.5 billion in 2050 (World Health Organisation 2012). The age-based dependency ratio is also changing: in Europe there are four people of working age for every person over 65 and by 2060 there will be only two (European Commission 2010). In the UK it is estimated that the

市场营销_外文翻译_外文文献_英文文献_顾客满意策略与顾客满意

顾客满意策略与顾客满意营销 原文来源:《Marketing Customer Satisfaction 》自20世纪八十年代末以来, 顾客满意战略已日益成为各国企业占有更多的顾客份额, 获得竞争优势的整体经营手段。 一、顾客满意策略是现代企业获得顾客“货币选票”的法宝随着时代的变迁, 社会物质财富的极大充裕, 顾客中的主体———消费者的需求也先后跨越了物质缺乏的时代、追求数量的时代、追求品质的时代, 到了20世纪八十年代末进入了情感消费时代。在我国, 随着经济的高速发展,我们也已迅速跨越了物质缺乏时代、追求数量的时代乃至追求品质的时代, 到今天也逐步迈进情感消费时代。在情感消费时代, 各企业的同类产品早已达到同时、同质、同能、同价, 消费者追求的已不再是质量、功能和价格, 而是舒适、便利、安全、安心、速度、跃动、环保、清洁、愉快、有趣等,消费者日益关注的是产品能否为自己的生活带来活力、充实、舒适、美感和精神文化品位, 以及超越消费者期望值的售前、售中、售后服务和咨询。也就是说, 今天人们所追求的是具有“心的满足感和充实感”的商品, 是高附加值的商品和服务,追求价值观和意识多元化、个性化和无形的满足感的时代已经来临。 与消费者价值追求变化相适应的企业间的竞争, 也由产品竞争、价格竞争、技术竞争、广告竞争、品牌竞争发展到现今的形象竞争、信誉竞争、文化竞争和服务竞争, 即顾客满意竞争。这种竞争是企业在广角度、宽领域的时空范围内展开的高层次、体现综合实力的竞争。它包括组织创新力、技术创新力、管理创新力、产业预见力、产品研发力、员工向心力、服务顾客力、顾客亲和力、同行认同力、社会贡献力、公关传播沟通力、企业文化推动力、环境适应力等等。这些综合形象力和如何合成综合持久的竞争力, 这就是CSft略所要解决的问题。CS寸代,企业不再以“自己为中心”,而是以“顾客为中心”;“顾客为尊”、“顾客满意”不再是流于形式的口号, 而是以实实在在的行动为基础的企业经营的一门新哲学。企业不再以质量达标, 自己满意为经营理念, 而是以顾客满意, 赢得顾客高忠诚度为经营理念。企业经营策略的焦点不再以争取或保持市场占有率为主, 而是以争取顾客满意为经营理念。因此, 营销策略的重心不再放在竞争对手身上而是放在顾客身上, 放在顾客现实的、潜在的需求上。当企业提供的产品和服务达到了顾客事先的期望值, 顾客就基本满意;如果远远超越顾客的期望值, 且远远高于其他同行, 顾客才真正满意;如果企业能不断地或长久地令顾客满意, 顾客就会忠诚。忠诚的顾客不仅会经常性地重复购买, 还会购买企业其它相关的产品或服务;忠诚的顾客不仅会积极向别人推荐他所买的产品, 而且对企业竞争者的促销活动具有免疫能力一个不满意的顾客会将不满意告诉16-20个人, 而每一个被告知者会再传播给12-15个人。这样, 一个不满意者会影响到二、三百人。在互联网普及的今天, 其影响则更大。据美国汽车业的调查, 一个满意者会引发8笔潜在的生意, 其中至少有一笔会成交。而另一项调查表明, 企业每增加5%的忠诚顾客, 利润就会增长25%-95%。一个企业的80%的利润来自20%的忠诚顾客;而获取一个新顾客的成本是维持一个老顾客成本的6倍。所以,美国著名学者唐?佩 珀斯指出: 决定一个企业成功与否的关键不是市场份额, 而是在于顾客份额。 于是, 企业纷纷通过广泛细致的市场调研、与消费者直接接触、顾客信息反馈等方式来了解顾客在各方面的现实需求和潜在需求。依靠对企业满意忠诚的销售、服务人员, 定期、定量地对顾客满意度进行综合测定, 以便准确地把握企业经营中与“顾客满意” 目标的差距及其重点领域, 从而进一步改善企业的经营活动。依靠高亲和力的企业文化、高效率的人文管理和全员共同努力, 不断地向顾客提供高附加值的产品, 高水准的亲情般的服

外文翻译两篇(成本核算)

成本核算过程中的问题及策略 1.成本核算过程中存在的问题 1.1成本核算不精确 成本核算就是把产品的成本数据提供给企业的决策层,让决策层根据现实的真实情况进行分析定位,假设成本核算出现了较严重的错误,可想而知,将对企业未来的收益会产生致命的打击。但是,现实情况是,一些企业在进行成本核算很模糊,在没有保证企业的预期收益时就对产品进行了不合理的市场定价。 2.企业对成本核算没有足够的重视 成本核算对企业经营利润有着重要影响。在企业的正常经营情况下,企业的财务对成本核算出现错误的概率越小,对企业利润核算越精确。但是,企业要进行成本核算的工作量大、流程复杂;技术性较强,要求也比较苛刻;所以,企业财务人员在进行成本核算的过程中,牵涉的人比较多,这些诸多因素都使成本核算成为一项不太简单的实践操作工作。在企业的成本核算中,很多企业的财务人员对企业的成本核算不太重视,在核算过程中,出现了微小的误差,觉得没有太大的关系,造成企业利润核算的不正确。 1.3没有采用适合企业自身发展的成本核算方法 在市场经济条件下,每个企业都有每个企业独特的特点,应该针对各个企业的生产经营特点,选择合适的成本核算方法。但是,现阶段,一部分企业在明确成本核算对象之后没有选择一个科学的、切合企业实际的成本核算方法对企业成本进行科学核算。这种现象在中小型企业尤其普遍。 2.加强企业成本核算管理途径 2.1提高企业管理者的成本管理意识 在现代的经济形势下,只有企业的领导者和全体员工对成本控制有了足够的重视,才可以使成本核算的工作在企业顺利全面展开。但是在当今知识经济时代,企业财务管理者没有意识到成本核算和控制在企业经济管理中的重要性,只进行简单的算账、报账,对支出的成本详细计算,对自身成本不进行认真核算;只重视产品售后的核算,不重视产品售出和售出中的控制;只依靠会计人员的数据报表,不关注市场的发展动态;那么只会导致他们对成本核算方法改进的忽视,让企业的成本核算管理工作越来越差。因此,要提高企业全体人员的成本意识,改

会计诚信开题报告

2012届本科毕业设计(论文) 开题报告 题目企业会计诚信问题的思考 学院商学院 专业会计 班级10行管专升本 学号103010098 姓名华牡娟 指导教师宋夏云 开题日期2011年11月5日

企业会计诚信问题的思考 一、选题的背景与意义 “会计”一词,远在大约公元前1100 年到公元前770 年之间的西周时代就已经出现了。据史书记载,我国古代有为王朝服务的会计,有专职官吏专司其事。春秋时代的孔子就曾经当过管会计的委吏。据考证,会计在当时的基本涵义是:既有日常的零星核算,又有年终伊总核算,月计岁会。后来有人总结为“零星算之为计,总合算之为会”。把“会”与“计”两个字联起来,就成为总核算与零星核算的一个综合体了。 现代会计是商品经济的产物。14、15世纪,由于欧洲资本主义商品货币经济的迅速发展,促进了会计的发展。其主要标志:一是利用货币计量进行价值核算;二是广泛采用复式记帐法,从而形成现代会计的基本特征和发展基石。 20世纪以来,特别是第二次世界大战结束后,资本主义的生产社会化程度得到了空前的发展,现代科学技术与经济管理科学的发展突飞猛进。受社会政治、经济和技术环境的影响,使传统的财务会计不断充实和完善,使财务会计核算工作更加标准化、通用化和规范化。与此同时,会计学科在20世纪30年代成本会计的基础上,紧密配合现代管理理论和实践的需要,逐步形成了为企业内部经营管理提供信息的管理会计体系,从而使会计工作从传统的事后记账、算账、报账,转为事前的预测与决策、事中的监督与控制、事后的核算与分析。管理会计的产生与发展,是会计发展史上的一次伟大变革,从此,现代会计形成了财务会计和管理会计两大分支。 随着现代化生产的迅速发展,经济管理水平的提高,电子计算机技术广泛应用于会计核算,使会计信息的搜集、分类、处理、反馈等操作程序摆脱了传统的手工操作,大大地提高了工作效率,实现了会计科学的根本变革。 现在在市场经济条件下,要求市场交易双方必须遵守诚实信用原则,使竞争作用正常发挥,维持一切公平交易的秩序,使市场行为字平等的基础上进行。由于会计工作是向国家、社会和企业的各个方面提供信息的工作,因此其“诚信”水平显得尤为重要。所谓会计诚信,包含两个方面的含义,一是行为人在进行会计处理时的态度诚实,二是行为人在提供会计信息时的信守承诺,遵守会计法,会计准则和制度。会计诚信是企业法人、会计师事物所、中介机构、证券分析师和会计人员等的行为准则之一,如同社会个人的道德规范,它的作用不

This new pension system allows Poland to reduce pension expenditure (as a percent of GDP), instead of increasing it as is projected for the majority of other OECD countries. This paper presents the conceptual background of the new system design. The new system’s long-term bjective is to ensure intergenerational equilibrium irrespective of the demographic situation. This requires stabilisation of the share of GDP allocated to the entire retired

generation. Traditional pension systems aim, instead, at stabilisation of the share of GDP per retiree. The change in demographic structure observed over the past for a couple of decades and this historic attempt to stabilise the share of GDP per retiree led to severe fiscal problems and negative externalities for growth, as observed in numerous countries. Many countries have tried to reform their pension systems in different ways to try to resolve the issue of these ever-increasing costs. Although the Polish reform uses a number of techniques applied elsewhere, its design differs from the typical approaches –and the lessons and results are promising for all OECD countries. This paper presents the theoretical and practical application of this alternative approach and as such, the key features of the new Polish pension system design. Introduction Demographic transition together with myopic policies has caused severe problems in the area of pensions in many countries around the world. Elements of traditional pension systems’ design include a weak link of benefits to contributions and the lack of control over costs of the system. Inclusion of these elements in the pension system design led to the explosion of costs, caused negative externalities for growth and contributed to persistently high unemployment. As such, the quest for pension reform is now on the top of policy agendas around the world, and especially in Europe. However, very few countries have been able to introduce fundamental reforms in the area of pensions to this time. In this case, the definition of reform is crucial. For the purposes of this paper, “reform” means changing t he system in order to remove tructural inefficiencies – and not just playing at the margins with contribution rates a nd retirement ages to adjust the system’s parameters for short-term fiscal and political reasons.Traditional pension systems have proven to be inefficient in providing societies with social security.
