The Accounting Review Vol. 53 No. 4 1978
Capsule Commentaries.
Abstract
The article presents commentaries by editors of Book Reviews on accounting, published in the October 1978 issue of the journal The Accounting Review. In the book Studies in Resource Allocation edited by Kenneth J. Arrow and Leonid Hurwicz, a question considered by some accountants is the coordination of individual units within a large organization especially the large multidivisional company to achieve the central objectives of that organization. Accountant's Guide to Insurance and Risk Management by Francis D. Barrett offers a description of many insurance policies, self-insurance programs and risk management techniques. Inflation Accounting: A Guide for the Accountant and the Financial Analyst purports to cover every aspect of general price-level-adjusted accounting procedures both from the standpoints of both "how to do it" and "what it means" in twelve chapters, a selected bibliography and index. Business Law Review by Edmund F. Ficek is a new entry into those books prepared to help accountants pass the Business Law section of the CPA Examination.
