Towards a New Conceptual Framework: Presentations at the Accounting in Europe and European Accounting Association Financial Reporting Standards Committee Symposium

A symposium at the European Accounting Association (EAA) Annual Meetings on Friday 23 May 2014 in Tallinn, organised by Accounting in Europe and the EAA's Financial Reporting Standards Committee (FRSC), brought together leading respondents to the Discussion Paper and the International Accounting Standards Board to debate the issues surrounding the new Conceptual Framework. This paper reproduces the presentations from the panellists: Mario Abela, Leader, Research and Development, International Federation of Accountants (IFAC); Richard Barker, Saïd Business School, Oxford University & EAA FRSC; Rasmus Sommer, Senior Technical Manager, European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG); and Alan Teixeira, Senior Director – Technical Activities, International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The panel was chaired by Paul André, ESSEC Business School & Editor Accounting in Europe.

On the Definitions of Income and Revenue in IFRS

In a previous issue of this journal, Richard Barker addressed some problems with the IFRS definitions of income and profit. I apply his conclusions to the definition of ‘revenue’ that he did not cover. I point out other difficulties with the definition: the implication that some sales to customers are not revenue, the implication that receipts to settle accounts receivable (or to sell receivables to a bank) are revenue, and the out-dated term ‘ordinary activities’. Most of the problems with the definition of revenue remain in the IASB's exposure drafts of 2010 and 2011. I also suggest that, despite IASB statements, fair value gains on assets should not be considered to be revenue, and nor should the financial receipts of non-financial companies. This leads to the suggestion that a replacement for IAS 18 should deal with the wider topic of ‘income’, and then define ‘revenue’ more narrowly than at present as the gross increase in equity resulting from inflows from customers for certain types of performance under contracts.

Reviews: 2030: The Future of Medicine: Avoiding A Medical Meltdown

2030: THE FUTURE OF MEDICINE: AVOIDING A MEDICAL MELTDOWN RICHARD BARKER Oxford University Press, 2011 PB, 129 pp, £14.99, 9780199600663 THE RISE AND FALL OF MODERN MEDICINE JAMES LE FANU 2nd edn, Hachette, 2011 PB, 291 pp, £14.99, 9780748131433 ![][1] ![][2] > ‘For the family doctor to remain an expert resource for the management of the more complex conditions, they will need three kinds of capability at their fingertips: on-line decision support, so that their diagnosis and treatment choices reflect the best clinical practice: access to community based diagnostics and imaging; and telemedicine links with specialists for the diagnosis and management of the most difficult cases.’ > ‘The personal doctor listens carefully to what he is being told. He or she performs the irreducible minimum of investigations necessary to establish a diagnosis. He confines himself to the matter in hand and does not stray beyond to give impudent or gratuitous advice. He recognises the intellectual limits of human understanding and the practical limits of what medicine can legitimately be expected to achieve.’ Which doctor would you rather be? Which would you prefer to be seen by? The first is the doctor of the future characterised by Richard Barker in 2030: The Future of Medicine: Avoiding a Medical Meltdown . The second is the doctor for all times evoked by James Le Fanu in The Rise and Fall of Modern Medicine and described further in a referenced paper by James McCormick called ‘ Death of the Personal Doctor ’.1 Barker writes mainly of the future and Le Fanu largely about the past but both make predictions based on questionable readings of history. In 2030 Barker writes that ‘over the last 20 years, designer drugs, specifically shaped to fit known pockets in the proteins involved in disease, have largely replaced those found by trial and error’. I'm not sure that's accurate. Later he asks, ‘When should we use genetic information?’ and … [1]: /embed/graphic-1.gif [2]: /embed/graphic-2.gif

Estimation, modelling and conservation of vertebrate populations using marked individuals

The analysis of data on marked individuals to estimate different population parameters is nowadays only seriously possible if the observation process (or data sampling process) is modelled separately from the ecological process. This requires sophisticated statistical methods. Regular conferences organised by EURING (called EURING analytical meetings) have contributed much to the development of such methods. The 9th EURING analytical meeting was held from 14 to 20 September 2009 in Pescara (Italy) and hosted by the ‘‘Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale’’ (ISPRA). It was coupled with the EURING general assembly, where the representatives of the national ringing offices of Europe met, and thus offered the possibility to share ideas between scientists and applicants. Of particular interest for this endeavour was the wildlife session (chaired by Fernando Spina) that took place between the two events and which consisted of three review presentations about integrated monitoring, dynamics of exploited populations and adaptive management. The main title of the analytical meeting was ‘‘Estimation, modelling and conservation of vertebrate populations using marked individuals’’. It highlights that the general goal of the meeting was to push forward the study and management of animal populations on three fronts: better design of studies of marked individuals or their analogs, improved approaches to modelling populations from analysis of marked individuals, and more robust conservation decisions resulting from such analysis. We organised the meeting basically in the same way as the past meetings, i.e. sessions were not in parallel and each was chaired by two appointed persons. As far as possible, we tried to engage one statistician and one biologist as chairs of a session. The program consisted of nine ordinary sessions, a poster session (chaired by Res Altwegg and Morten Frederiksen), a short course (Evan Cooch) and a software session (Remi Choquet, Jim Hines). The topics of the ordinary session were defined based on discussions at the previous meeting in Dunedin (2007). As the main focus of the conference was the presentation of new or advanced methods that serve to estimate population parameters from data on marked individuals, the sessions were fairly technical. They covered ‘‘Model diagnostics’’ (David Fletcher, Roger Pradel), ‘‘Decision analysis’’ (Clint Moore, Richard Barker), ‘‘Study design’’ (Paul Doherty, Bill Link), ‘‘Statespace modelling’’ (Byron Morgan, Marc Kery), ‘‘Spatial CMR modelling’’ (Andy Royle, Charles Francis), ‘‘Uncertain states and covariates’’ (Olivier Gimenez, Darryl MacKenzie), ‘‘Disease ecology’’ (Jim Nichols, Steven Baillie) and ‘‘Modelling individual variation’’ (Jay Rotella, Emanuelle Cam). A further session was an ‘‘Open forum’’ (David Thompson, Jean-Dominique Lebreton), which was the place for contributed papers that did not fit within the other predefined sessions. We developed this session in order to ensure that emerging issues in the fast moving field would also be covered. In each session, there were 3–7 talks, one being an invited keynote talk, the others being contributed papers. The selected presentations were not restricted to birds as in most previous EURING analytical meetings; however, all of them were meant to present methods that could also be applied in bird studies. The Proceedings appear as a special issue in the Journal of Ornithology and the session chairs acted as editors for M.

Conference Scene: The healthcare reform act, comparative effectiveness research and personalized medicine.

This article provides a summary report based on the presentation by Dr Elizabeth Ofili on a panel at the annual Burrill Personalized Medicine meeting, titled: Has 'Healthcare Reform' accelerated or decelerated the move to a more Personalized Medicine World? The panel moderator was Dr Edward Abrahams, President of the Personalized Medicine Coalition (Washington, DC, USA). Other panelists were: Dr Richard Barker, Director General, Association of British Pharmaceutical Industry (London, UK) and Dr David Lawrence, Former Chairman and CEO, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Hospitals Inc. (CA, USA). This report describes Dr Ofili's discussion on the panel, using the Warfarin Adverse Event Reduction For Adults Receiving Genetic Testing at therapy Initiation (WARFARIN) study as a specific example of how well-designed studies can accelerate personalized medicine, by providing evidence that supports the appropriate adoption of pharmacogenetic testing in diagnosis and treatment. The WARFARIN study was recently approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under 'coverage with evidence development'.

Interview with Dr Richard Barker, Director General of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry

The global Pharma industry is facing numerous challenges, from a slowdown in successful innovations and increasing R&D costs, to threats to revenue of imminent patent expirations and the impact of generic products. These and other factors are resulting in companies adopting new strategies to reassess and diversify their business and R&D models. Dr Richard Barker, Director General of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, spoke to Future Medicinal Chemistry about the key issues affecting the industry and the approaches for overcoming them.

Editorial Winter 2000

This issue begins my third year as editor of the Journal and over the last 24 months we have begun to introduce some important changes that are helping us more carefully define our market niche and increase our readership. One of these that I have spoken about before is the need to put the Journal on line. Julia Teahen, Mike Heberling, and I had a number of meetings with the Kellogg Foundation people over the last 12 months and I am happy to tell you that the Foundation has given us a 4-year grant that will, among other things, ensure that we can put the Journal on line. This is something that will help us increase our visibility and continue to develop a reputation as a leading journal in the field. We will also be turning out one issue annually in conjunction with the Kellogg Foundation. This issue, which will be handled by a guest editor, will be devoted to leadership at the grass roots level and will include articles from a variety of business and nonbusiness authors. I am hoping that this issue will also expand our horizons more into the international arena and address leadership in a host of different environments. At the same time we are continuing to attract a growing number of manuscripts. Last year we published only two issues of the Journal bemuse we were rejecting far more papers than we were accepting. However, we have now found that while our acceptance rate has dropped to around 20 percent, we have more submissions than ever. So we are, once again, back to four issues annually. Additionally, the articles that we are accepting are coming from a variety of schools, large and small, and these articles focus on a wide ranging group of topics from leadership education to recognition as a leadership tool to leadership ethics. lead article in this issue is Education in Colleges Toward a 21st Century Paradigm by Joseph Rost and Richard Barker. This article focuses on providing a postindustrial construct of leadership that addresses the nature of the complex social relationships among people who practice leadership including their purposes, motives, and intentions. second article, Leading Change by Managing Paradoxes is by Terrie Reeves, W. Jack Duncan, and Peter Ginter. In this article the authors propose that the axes along which organizations can change form the basis of a space in which the enterprise can be represented as a point in a multidimensional space and the dynamics of organization change can be modeled as time-dependent movement in this space. third article, by Kyle Luthans, is titled Recognition: A Powerful, But Often Overlooked, Leadership Tool to Improve Employee Performance and deals with the role of recognition in reinforcing and motivating superior performance. role and importance of recognition is highly valued by employees, as reported in a survey conducted by Luthans in which 96 percent of the respondents reported a need for recognition. next article in this issue, The Organizational Context of Moral Dilemmas: Role of Moral Leadership in Administration in Making and Breaking Dilemmas was written by Duane Covrig. …
