内部控制信息的需求动机供给现状与监管协调

企业内部控制信息的需求者来源于多个方面,不同的信息需求主体,具有不同的需求动机。所有者的需求动机,在于检验管理当局受托经济责任的履行情况;潜在投资者的需求动机,在于提高其投资决策的科学性和合理性管理当局的需求动机,在于向外界传递积极的信号;政府监管部门的需求动机,在于规范资本市场行为。然而,从2009年度的统计数据来看,上市公司内部控制信息的供给明显不足。加大政府监管与协调力度,是提高内部控制信息披露水平的重要途径。     

财务管理信息系统信息集成模式研究

一、引言财务管理信息系统(FMIS,Financing Management Information System)是商业银行对数据质量要求最高、涉及数据范围最为广泛的管理信息系统之一,它不仅关系到外围客户数据、前台交易数据、后台财务数据、内部风险控制数据、跨行资金交易清算数据等大型数据库之间的采集,而且还涉及数据在网点、支行、分行、总行等多层次的无缝传递。但是,目前商业银行普遍存在着基于FoxPro的小型数据库系统、Novell网络系统的会计信息系统和基于C/S体系结构、Sybase分布式数据库管理系统、Unix网络系统的账务处理系统的多网络平台(Novell、Unix…

按照系统规划、建设、运维管理、持续改进的信息系统生命周期模型理论,国内金融业信息系统的重点,逐渐从基础设施建设和应用升级换代转向数据中心生产运维和IT服务管理。正如国内一些信息化专家所言,目前国内信息系统正处于从基础设施建设向IT服务管理能力建设转变的关键时期。     

The external organizational environment and its impact on management information systems

It is argued in this paper that organizations are “living purposeful” or “adaptively rational” systems whose survival depends on their ability to interact successfully, on a continual basis, with the surrounding environment. Three states of the external organizational environment — controllable, partially controllable and uncontrollable — are identified, and the information characteristics of each state are discussed. The approaches that organizations can adopt to collect information on the environment are also discussed; these approaches use externally-based data sources and modeling and/or analytic techniques. On these bases, we consider effective strategies and methodologies which organizations can adopt for processing, evaluating and communicating information about the external environment to satisfy decision-making requirements.     

The influence of foreign equity and board membership on corporate strategy and internal cost management in Portuguese banks

This study examines the influence of foreign equity and board membership on corporate strategy and the management of internal costs of banks headquartered in Portugal using proprietary data maintained by the Central Bank. The findings reveal that foreign equity reduces both total and operating costs, and foreign board membership reduces domestic banks’ dependence on revenues from traditional areas of business and enhances the potential for generating revenues from non-traditional areas of business. These results are controlled for a variety of standard accounting ratios used in the literature. We argue that foreign equity and board membership forces banks to redirect corporate strategy and to reduce internal costs.     

信息系统间数据整合中机构数据差异的处理方法

为了满足业务发展、加强管理及业务流程操作的需要,商业银行建设了多个面向特定业务层面的信息系统。随着企业管理制度的规范和管理水平的提高,高层管理者更希望能看到整个企业的全景数据,从而对系统间数据进行整合。     

商业银行内部审计信息管理系统的构建

应用计算机审计软件，实现审计信息化是当前审计领域的一项重要工作。随着我国信息化进程的不断推进，尤其是财务会计的全面电算化，审计对象将逐步发生根本性的变化，即从传统的对手工账审计转到对电算化会计账进行审计。计算机审计不仅在今后的经济工作中，而且在企业内部都将发挥越来越重要的作用。     

SEC Regulation Fair Disclosure,information, and the cost of capital

Regulation Fair Disclosure (“Reg FD”), adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in October 2000 was intended to stop the practice of “selective disclosure”, in which companies give material information only to a few analysts and institutional investors prior to disclosing it publicly. Our analysis shows that the adoption of Reg FD caused a significant shift in analyst attention, resulting in a welfare loss for small firms, which now face a higher cost of capital. The loss of the “selective disclosure” channel for information flows could not be compensated for via other information transmission channels. This effect was more pronounced for firms communicating complex information and, consistent with the investor recognition hypothesis, for those losing analyst coverage. Moreover, we find no significant relationship of the different responses with litigation risks and agency costs. Our cross-sectional results suggest that Reg FD had unintended consequences and that “information” in financial markets may be more complicated than current finance theory admits.     

深入理解管理目标、风险和成本

实施企业信息化项目的成功与否与许多因素有关，较为关键性的因素有哪些呢?曾有众多专家和学对此做过研究，他们通常从方法及规划上寻找原因。例如，从规划、人员配备、技术实施等方面进行分析。这样做容易忽略一项最重要的因素，即领导层对信息化目标的深刻理解和认知。     

征信体系建设与商业银行信用风险管理

征信体系是社会信用体系的核心,也是现代金融体系运行和稳定的基石,征信体系健全与否将直接影响金融机构的风险控制水平。商业银行作为经营货币和风险的特殊企业,在目前我国征信体系尚不完善的情况下,承担了大部分的信用缺失成本,对建立完善的社会征信体系的需求更为迫切。     

会计信息可信度、信息披露管理与资源有效配置

会计信息披露理论认为,自愿性信息披露通过降低投资者和内部人间的信息不对称,优化资源分配和降低资本成本,然而这种效应又依赖于自愿性信息披露可观察到的可信度。由于管理者的自我服务意图,自愿性信息披露的可信度事前很难保障,投资者可能从管理者传递的其他信号推断该自愿性信息披露的可信度。也就是说,会计信息被信息提供者披露并被信息使用者接收,进而在资本市场产生反应,不仅要求会计信息本身具备某种质量特征,还取决于信息使用者对会计信息可信度的主观评价。因此只有以信息使用者可信的方式披露具备质量特征的会计信息,才有助于资本市场资源的有效配置。     

电子设备成本核算与管理探究

探析银行信息系统的可用性和应急模型

近年来,国内外的商业银行纷纷斥巨资实施数据大集中。通过将信息技术和经营策略的紧密结合,实现资源共享,以及银行业务的集中监控和风险防范,调整银行内部控制机制和治理结构,从而增强市场核心竞争能力和适应能力,降低管理成本。但是,在数据大集中的同时,商业银行信息系统的运营风险也高度集中。信息系统的故障会造成商业银行区域性乃至全国性的业务中止,降低银行信用,使客户流失,营业额下降,严重时会引起社会波动。因此,如何评估和分析商业银行信息系统的可用性模型,据此提出相应的应急体系架构,具有重要的意义。一、信息系统的可用性模型…

Product life cycle cost analysis: the impact of customer profiling, competitive advantage, and quality of IS information

Life cycle cost analysis is considered in the literature to be of increasing importance to firms as international competition intensifies and technological change continues. The literature increasingly emphasizes that rapid technological change and shortened life cycles have made product life cycle cost analysis critical to organizations. Although significant benefits are attributed to life cycle cost analysis, there is little evidence regarding the extent of its application in organizational settings. Moreover, there is scant systematic evidence available with respect to the array of factors that may influence its use. However, a review of the literature suggests that customer profiling, competitive advantage, and quality of information system information are three factors potentially impacting the extent to which life cycle cost analysis is used in firms. The results of the study illustrate first, the degree to which product life cycle cost analysis is used across a random sample of organizations. Second, that all three independent variables play a positive role in affecting the extent to which product life cycle costing is used in firms.     

法国中央银行信息科技项目的规划与管理

2005年1月，应法国中央银行——法兰西银行的邀请，中国进出口银行组团前往法国就其信息技术应用情况进行专项考察。期间考察团特别拜会了法兰西银行副秘书长、信息技术管理机构(OI，the Organization and Information systems)负责人Alain Nicolle先生，并与他深入探讨了法兰西银行的信息项目规划、应用软件开发、灾难备份中心建设、科技人员管理等问题。     

信息不对称对贷款五级分类管理的影响及其矫正

为了适应我国银行业加强信贷管理、提高信贷资产质量和对外开放的迫切需要,中国人民银行决定从2002年起对我国各类银行全面实行贷款风险分类管理(即贷款五级分类管理)。但是,由于信息不对称,加之地区间、行际间和认识上的差异,商业银行在实施贷款五级分类管理中难以全面、准确、动态地反映信贷资产质量及盈亏状况,因此,弱化信息不对称是实施贷款五级分类管理,防范和化解信贷风险的重要措施之一。一、信息不对称对贷款五级分类管理的影响及其成因根据信息学原理,信息不对称往往会给市场带来逆向选择和道德风险并由此危及信贷资产的安全。为了…     

The impact of economic factors and acquisition reforms on the cost of defense weapon systems

This paper evaluates how defense budget instability, consolidation of the defense industry, acquisition reform, war, and cost estimating error are related to cost overruns in major Department of Defense Acquisition projects from 1979 to 2002. Employing a panel model of service specific cost overruns, with fixed effects, we find that funding instability in O&M and R&D budgets had large impacts on procurement costs overruns. We further found that unexpected inflation and armed conflict led to higher levels of Procurement cost overruns. Finally we found that the acquisition reforms of the Nunn-McCurdy Act of 1982, the Packard Commission Recommendations of 1986 and the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) of 1994 resulted in significant reductions in procurement cost overruns.
