This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Huge headlines across Africa have lamented the debilitating effects of corruption and fraud on the African economies and development. But is Africa ready for this fight? Do the antifraud practitioners possess strategies to equip Africa for this fight? This book highlights some of the major challenges facing developing and post conflict African countries with regard to, among others, (1) policy, political will, and legal framework in the prevention and deterrence of fraud and corruption; (2) strategies and coordination of institutional frameworks and institutions; (3) lack of human and infrastructural resources; and (4) the time- and energy-intensive nature of fraud detection, investigation, and resolution. The leadership and citizens of these countries are aware of the effects of fraud and corruption, but lack the strategies and sometimes the resources to prevent, deter, detect, investigate, or resolve fraud and corruption incidences. This is compounded by huge deficits in compliance because laws are either ignored or deliberately contravened, and regulations and ethical practices are circumvented. The book makes comments on some initiatives that have been tried at different levels of governance to stimulate debate in search of effective approaches to equip Africa fight fraud and corruption.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about generating profitable revenue from existing clients, and converting part-time clients into 100 percent full-time clients. Professionals and firms that offer financial services want to enjoy continued organic growth, and maximize the value of their business. Retaining and developing existing clients is one of the challenges they encounter in the process. The financial services industry is currently facing several key challenges: increasing competition, industry consolidation, rapidly changing technology, a soft market (for rates, premiums, and fees), and an increasing number of regulatory requirements. All these factors make it difficult for firms to produce consistent, positive, organic growth. This book is a follow-up to the author’s previous book The Financial Sales Handbook: A Professionals Guide to Becoming a Top Producer. Although this book is an extension of the first, readers can be confident in approaching it as a stand-alone book. Cross-Selling Financial Services: A Professional’s Guide to Account Development is for experienced professionals and firms who want to protect their existing top clients and revenue, and maximize the long-term growth and profitability of their business. The book will also help professionals to sharpen their account development capabilities. It is designed to be the nucleus for corporate training programs, as well as a guide for self-employed professionals who must market and sell to stay in business.
Book Synopsis The Art and Science of Financial Modeling by : Anurag Singal
Download or read book The Art and Science of Financial Modeling written by Anurag Singal and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2018-09-10 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book will help readers dive deep into the vocabulary and the syntax, the art and science of financial modeling and valuation. To use a cliché, we live in a volatile uncertain complex and ambiguous (VUCA) world. Organizations simply cannot afford to try out new strategies in reality and correct mistakes, once they’ve occurred. The stakes are too high. Thus emerges the utility of this technique across functions like financial planning and risk management. Financial models help a business manager simulate the future and see the impact of their change, without risking costly setbacks of real world trials and errors. Mastering the art of financial modeling is imperative for those who want to enter the ultra-competitive world of corporate finance, investment banking, private equity, or equity research. Only those who excel (pun intended) in modeling early on are often the most successful long- term. Readers will be able to prepare/use existing models more competently, interpret the results and have greater comfort over the integrity and accuracy of the model’s calculations.
Book Synopsis Venture Capital Networks by : Cristiano Bellavitis
Download or read book Venture Capital Networks written by Cristiano Bellavitis and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the venture capital (VC) industry, firms often co-invest with other peers in syndicated deals. The process of syndication is a form of investment alliance that generates networks of VC firms and start-up companies. Despite the prominent role played by syndicates, extant entrepreneurship literature found contradicting evidence on the relationship between the practice of syndication and the performance of both the start-up and the investors. In fact, our understanding of the circumstances under which syndicates have the potential to boost performance, rather than hamper them, is still limited. This book intends to fill this gap and explore the performance dynamics surrounding networks in the venture capital industry. The text also provides introductory knowledge to those interested in network studies and methods.

Book Synopsis Global Mergers and Acquisitions by : Abdol S. Soofi
Download or read book Global Mergers and Acquisitions written by Abdol S. Soofi and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book primarily deals with corporate restructuring through mergers and acquisitions (M&As). It critically examines all functions that must be performed in completing an M&A transaction. Domestic and crossborder M&A’s are very similar in many respects even though differences between them also exist. The book includes discussions of international finance and multinational financial management–the topics that arise in cross-border M&A transactions. Given the increasing importance of China as the second largest economy in the world and Chinese companies’ growing merger and acquisition (M&A) activities globally, we devote the last two chapters of the book to China’s outward foreign direct investment and cross-border M&A activities. Moreover, the second volume includes the case studies regarding Chinese foreign direct investment both in Greenfield and acquisition forms give additional insights into challenging tasks of due diligence and post-merger cultural integration that foreign investors face. The M&A literature is a fragmented field of inquiry. This book brings together important, practical insights from this vast literature in a short, but cohesive form that has high managerial relevance.

Book Synopsis Understanding Momentum in Investment Technical Analysis by : Michael C. Thomsett
Download or read book Understanding Momentum in Investment Technical Analysis written by Michael C. Thomsett and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains and demonstrates the concept of momentum in chart analysis, which is of great interest to technical analysts. It includes complete explanations of overbought and oversold, where momentum fits in the broader science of technical analysis, and the importance of moving average crossover. Five major momentum oscillators are explained in depth: relative strength index, MACD, rate of change, stochastics, and Bollinger Bands. Finally, the book provides trading guidance based on momentum, involving coordination of oscillators with other indicators, reversal, and continuation signals. Momentum powerfully identifies the strength and speed of price movement. Through the use of index calculations, momentum is effective when used as a confirming indicator for other signals found in price, volume, or moving averages. Often overlooked by traders focused solely on price reversals or continuation signals, momentum provides a context to price behavior and to the price trend, and can vastly improves the timing of both entry and exit of trades.

Book Synopsis The Collapse of Global Trade, Murky Protectionism, and the Crisis by : Richard E. Baldwin
Download or read book The Collapse of Global Trade, Murky Protectionism, and the Crisis written by Richard E. Baldwin and published by . This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global financial crisis of 2008/9 is the Great Depression of the 21st century. For many though, the similarities stop at the Wall Street Crash as the current generation of policymakers have acted quickly to avoid the mistakes of the past. Yet the global crisis has made room for mistakes all of its own. While governments have apparently kept to their word on refraining from protectionist measures in the style of 1930s tariffs, there has been a disturbing rise in "murky protectionism." Seemingly benign, these crisis-linked policies are twisted to favour domestic firms, workers and investors. This book, first published as an eBook on VoxEU.org in March 2009, brings together leading trade policy practitioners and experts - including Australian Trade Minister Simon Crean and former Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo. Initially its aim was to advise policymakers heading in to the G20 meeting in London, but since the threat of murky protectionism persists, so too do their warnings.

Book Synopsis Corruption, Infrastructure Management and Public–Private Partnership by : Mohammad Heydari
Download or read book Corruption, Infrastructure Management and Public–Private Partnership written by Mohammad Heydari and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public–Private Partnerships (PPP or 3Ps) allow the public sector to seek alternative funding and expertise from the private sector during procurement processes. Such partnerships, if executed with due diligence, often benefit the public immensely. Unfortunately, Public–Private Partnerships can be vulnerable to corruption. This book looks at what measures we can put in place to check corruption during procurement and what good governance strategies the public sector can adopt to improve the performance of 3Ps. The book applies mathematical models to analyze 3Ps. It uses game theory to study the interaction and dynamics between the stakeholders and suggests strategies to reduce corruption risks in various 3Ps stages. The authors explain through game theory-based simulation how governments can adopt a evaluating process at the start of each procurement to weed out undesirable private partners and why the government should take a more proactive approach. Using a methodological framework rooted in mathematical models to illustrate how we can combat institutional corruption, this book is a helpful reference for anyone interested in public policymaking and public infrastructure management.
Download or read book Looting Africa written by Patrick Bond and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the rhetoric, the people of Sub-Saharan Africa are become poorer. From Tony Blair's Africa Commission and the Make Poverty History campaign to the Hong Kong WTO meeting, Africa's gains have been mainly limited to public relations. The central problems remain exploitative debt and financial relationships with the North, phantom aid, unfair trade, distorted investment and the continent's brain/skills drain. Moreover, capitalism in most African countries has witnessed the emergence of excessively powerful ruling elites with incomes derived from financial-parasitical accumulation. Without overstressing the 'mistakes' of such elites, this book contextualises Africa's wealth outflow within a stagnant but volatile world economy.
