Abstract

Au Congrès des stations balnéaires, qui eut lieu au mois de septembre 1947, en Tchécoslovaquie, j'ai eu l'honneur de traiter, lors d'une séance à Pieštany, plusieurs questions concernant la fonction de l'économie d'entreprise dans la reconstruction des stations balnéaires au cours des années d'après guerre. Dans cette conférence, j'ai indiqué comme condition première et essentielle de réussite pour l'économie d'entreprise, l'établissement d'une «économie commerciale» en bonne et due forme. On peut constater qu'actuellement, parmi les chefs d'entreprise, on a déjà conscience de la nécessité d'organiser dans toutes les règles les écritures et annotations de l'entreprise; ce sont souvent les entrepreneurs eux‐mêmes qui demandent conseil et désirent savoir comment ce but peut être atteint. L'année dernière, nous avons décrit dans les colonnes de la «Revue de Tourisme» (n° 4/1947) les principes fondamentaux du plan comptable directif pour la comptabilité financière des entreprises de tourisme en Tchécoslovaquie, à titre de modèle de la solution qui peut être donnée à cet important problème. Ce plan comptable directif a été publié entre temps comme ordonnance officielle et, aucun changement décisif n'y ayant été apporté, nous n'y reviendrons pas ici, dans l'idée aussi que chaque entreprise possède déjà son propre plan de comptabilité financière.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to examine the contribution made to climate change issues by the élite French accounting journals of La Revue Francophone de Comptabilité and Comptabilité, Contrôle, Audit, for the period 2000‐2005.

Design/methodology/approach

The climate change contributions made by top French to top Anglo‐Saxon journals are compared.

Findings

While Anglo Saxon élite journals place the natural environment outside the fold of the élite accounting academia, French élite accounting organs infuse climate change issues with subtle motives and meanings, providing symbolic power to a plethora of communicators who want to show that accounting can respond to the global environmental risks caused by human problems.

Originality/value

Stress is placed on the fact that Anglo‐Saxon accounting academics approve and endorse the present system of accounting journal ranking. It does not rank France's top journals very highly and makes no room for discourses outside the mainstream.

Abstract

DNCG (Direction Nationale du Contrôle de Gestion - National Board for Management Control) is an independent institution whose mission is to check French professional clubs' accounts. Its declared aim is to ensure that clubs that begin a championship campaign are able to finish it without filing for bankruptcy, which would distort competition. This interview by Michel Desbordes (MD) with DNCG president François Ponthieu (FP) questions the role and the success of DNCG and finds that the organisation is now geared towards helping clubs to produce business plans rather than acting just as financial enforcer. However, where accounts are found not to be in line with what has been agreed, clubs are liable to serious punishment, even relegation.

Abstract

Les étrangers possèdent désormais 39% des établissements et 43% des chambres, les groupes multinationaux (où entrent des capitaux locaux) respectivement 10 et 20%. L'étendue du contrôle national demeure cependant exceptionnellement élevée pour la Caraïbe: 51% des hôtels, les plus petits puisqu'ils ne regroupent que 37% des chambres; ils dominent nettement dans les zones traditionnelles, Kingston et Montego Bay, niais ne s'insèrent que très peu dans les secteurs nouveaux, tels qu'Ocho Rios sur la côte nord, où les établissements, plus grands, plus isolés, plus luxueux, dépendent des capitaux britanniques, américains ou canadiens.

Abstract

Ce rapport qui a été publié en novembre 1948 mérite d'être connu et étudié de très près par tous ceux qui s'interessent au tourisme français et à ses problèmes dans le cadre du programme de relèvement économique européen (Plan Marshall). Après avoir présenté un inventaire d'ensemble des industries touristiques françaises, le rapport met en relief leurs «constantes», les faits nouveaux qui ont pu altérer plus ou moins celles‐ci ces dernières années, portant leur évolution. Puis il explique comment on a tenté de traduire, en nombre de visiteurs, la ressource escomptée du tourisme en 1952. Il étudie alors les différents problèmes posés par le transport, l'accueil et l'hébergement de ces visiteurs, en dégageant chaque fois les réformes nécessaires et les besoins correspondants, notamment en ce qui concerne le financement du plan français de modernisation et d'équipement du tourisme, les matériaux à utiliser et les solutions concrètes permettant une action rapide. Enfin, il essaye de définir une politique du tourisme, vue sous l'angle de l'équipement et propose l'outil permanent dont la mission serait de mettre cette politique en œuvre, et, sous le patronage et le contrôle des pouvoirs publics, de conduire le plan.

Abstract

Accounts manipulation has been the subject of research, discussion and even controversy in several countries including the USA, Canada, the U.K., Australia, Finland and France. The objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the literature and propose a conceptual framework for accounts manipulation. This framework is based on the possibility of wealth transfer between the different stake‐holders, and in practice, the target of the manipulation appears generally to be the earnings per share and the debt/equity ratio. The paper also describes the different actors involved and their potential gains and losses. We review the literature on the various techniques of accounts manipulation: earnings management, income smoothing, big bath accounting, creative accounting, and window‐dressing. The various definitions of all these, the main motivations behind their application and the research methodologies used are all examined. This study reveals that all the above techniques have common elements, but there are also important differences between them.

Abstract

Life is an open system; moreover, it is classically admitted as being a complex system. Isomorphism in complex systems is examined by comparison between structural and behaviour features drawn by Forrester and the living's features. The study of the features of homologies in complex system should lead to formal laws.

Abstract

We observe with pleasure that the French Analytical Control, which is known as the Controle Chimique Permanent Français, continues to make satisfactory progress. The value and importance of the system of Control cannot fail to meet with appreciation in France—as it cannot fail to meet with appreciation elsewhere—so soon as its objects and method of working have been understood and have become sufficiently well known. From the reports which appear from time to time in l'Hygiène Moderne, the organ of the French Control, it is obvious that a number of French firms of the highest standing have grasped the fact that to place their products on the market with a permanent and authoritative scientific guarantee as to their nature and quality, is to meet a growing public demand, and must therefore become a commercial necessity. An ample assurance that the Controle Chimique Permanent Français is a solid and stable undertaking is afforded by the facts that it is under the general direction of so distinguished an expert as M. Ferdinand Jean and that he is assisted by several well‐known French scientists in carrying out the very varied technical work required.
