Expanding the future financial corporate reporting package
Article Abstract:
Suggestions for improvements on the conventional financial reporting package are presented. Single summary statistics would greatly improve the reporting of corporate risk as well as management quality. Search strategies could effectively guide users through complex details of annual reports. Expectational information given today is frequently inadequate and needs to be better quantified. Professionals should encourage creativity in developing new corporate disclosures. Speculations about the consequences of change in reporting are included

The performance measurement panacea
Article Abstract:
An analysis and critique of performance indicators used in management-control systems is presented using a sample of 18 manufacturing and service firms in Australia. The key issue is whether accounting-based metrics coordinate with non-accounting-based ones, highlighting pitfalls of focusing exclusively on the former. Results indicate that the association of different types of performance indicators is highly complex. It is suggested that companies adopt more explicit strategic performance frameworks.
