In this research paper the authors want to express their thoughts by stating that how to them earnings reporting pertains to the discovery of information that has not been disclosed by either people or other types of sources and focus towards the negative in this study. In my opinion, the title of the paper itself could have had a different title only because throughout the paper it analyzes negative or bad news rather than really paying attention to both perspectives. Also the paper captures the information or news that occurs by using a three day window in which Quarterly Earnings Announcement (QEA) take place and compares it to a period where it does not take place. Furthermore, in this paper there are three hypotheses that arise

One of the many obstacles to overcome in not only this organization but any other one is how can we up rise and make it bigger, working with other organizations or companies. Another obstacle that we need to look for is how we can overcome the formation of this group.

Furthermore, the proposed ASU will impact all companies that report their financial statements under US GAAP. Some of the disclosure requirements are already part of the current Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosure requirements, but some disclosure requirements will reveal new information about reporting entities. PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) (Spang and Suplee, 2016) warns that “companies should consider how the additional disclosures may be utilized and interpreted by various stakeholders. In addition, compiling the necessary information, particularly for multinational corporations, may be challenging and may require updates to systems, processes, and controls”. Therefore, the implementation of the new standards on the early stages may require additional financial resources from the business entities.

The most important thing to any company’s stakeholders is high-quality reporting of its financial statements. Investors, for instance, need to know the truth about a company in order to make an informed decision on whether to make private investment, buy stock or bonds. However, for stakeholders to get the truth about a company, they need to read and understand management’s discussion and analysis, the president’s letter, the notes, as well as the financial statements. Conversely, financial statements must be accompanied with disclosures to prevent them from misleading the stakeholders.

Its large size gives Disney several advantages, such as a large budget and a large human resource base. Internally, Disney follows a top-down approach, where managers tend to impose the culture, and bureaucracy is considered large with 185,000 employees in 2016 (Forbes, 2016). The decision making lies at top management level, giving the company a hierarchical structure. In the creative world Disney is known to make movies based on profitability, rather than quality of animation and image. Pixar’s core competence is their technological 3D success in computer animation. When looking at the staff at Pixar , it can be seen that they are very technically educated and have a lot of in-house creativity. This is the reason for their high level of innovation. Furthermore, they focus on quality instead of sales figures. Internally, Pixar uses the bottom-up approach, where input of employees is highly valued, and Pixar offers a very communicative and open working environment.

There are many aspects to running a successful organization. The dream of running a business initially starts off as a vision in the mind of the founder. That vision materializes into the mission statement, and progresses on to becoming an organization worthy of being put into a business plan. After completion of the many administrative and legal steps required, one must make sure to hire good people. A successful business will start with positive human interaction. The people of the organization must have the skillset to progressively advocate,

Is it important for a business owner to understand financial sustainability in both personal and professional areas?

Excello Telecommunications was presented with a dilemma on how the company should report earnings so that they would appear to have met earning estimates for the 2010 financial year. The CFO, Terry Reed, was concerned with how failure to meet earning estimates would affect bonuses, stock options, and the share price of Excello stock. On December 201, 2010, the company sold $1.2 million of equipment to Data Equipment Systems. However, Data Equipment Systems requested that Excello hold on to the product until January 11, 2011, because they do not have the

The term sustainability conveys to me the idea of something permanent or long term. Most people probably think of sustainability in an environmental context, related to issues such as, global warming, pollution and overpopulation. While the aspect of the environment is of crucial importance I think however, that sustainability needs to be looked at in a broader sense and include factors such as, social, political and economic aspects. According to Laasch and Conway (2015), sustainability is the level to which any state has the ability to sustain the three forms of capital which are social, economic and environmental depending on the conversation’s context, Laasch et al., (2015). Edward Barbier (as cited in Laasch et al., 2015) strongly emphasised the importance of social,

Whether through escorting my younger sister to the Disney Animation slate of the early nineties, working with the College Program or introducing my own children to my Disney favorites, while they have introduced me to theirs; Disney has always been a big part of my life. So much so, that during my Hal Craft Leadership Program last summer when asked to define my leadership style, Pixar was the lens through which I shared my vision. Earlier that same week, I used “Quality will Out” as the motto for an imaginary company we created during an exercise.

Sustainability is defined by The Brundtland Report as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs,” which is an ongoing issue that many strive to improve (lisd.org, 2015). Through the three pillars of sustainability, a balance is constantly worked towards through attempts to efficiently manage social equity, the environment and the economy (lisd.org, 2015) (EPA.Gov, n.d.).

My favorite saying in business is “great people, great company, crappy people…” I’ll let you fill in the blanks. It starts with a vision, your vision and your desire to make a difference. Wait, what difference? In your life or others? Entrepreneurs tend to have an unrealistic view of their vision and think why doesn 't everyone see what I see? Why doesn 't everyone do what I do? Then one day it becomes real, one person can see it with you. Then another, then two more and pretty soon you have a business full of employees that want to see it grow.

Integrated reporting is a new method to focus on various aspects of an organizing and can be rapidly gained international recognition. In this paper, I will focus on its definition, function, effect, valuation and framework.
