Local Government e-Disclosure & Comparisons: Equipping Deliberative Democracy for the 21st Century [Pehme köide]

When it comes to financial disclosures by state and local governments, the future should be now. But it is not. We're still in the pre-computer age. Tim Turner presents us with a roadmap to modern reporting. He shows us how governments can move from our industrial age accounting model to the creation of data warehouses that would provide citizens, legislators, and managers with information appropriate to the electronic age. This book is must-reading for accounting standard setters and government officials. -- Michael H.
