Corporations, Accountability and International Criminal Law

Industry and Atrocity

This timely book explores the prospect of prosecuting corporations or individuals within the business world for conduct amounting to international crime. Joanna Kyriakakis surveys the state of the art in the field, highlighting the case for the international criminal justice project to engage more fully with the role industry can play in atrocity. From the post World War II era to contemporary international criminal courts and tribunals and the activities of domestic criminal justice agencies, this book analyses cases and international law reform efforts aimed at accounting for business involvement in international crimes. The major debates and ensuing challenges are examined, arguing that corporate accountability under international criminal law is crucial in achieving the objectives of international criminal justice.

Safety Management

A Qualitative Systems Approach

Professionals striving for accident reduction must deal with systems in which both technical and human elements play equal and complementary roles. However, many of the existing techniques in ergonomics and risk management concentrate on plant and technical issues and downplay human factors and "subjectivity." Safety Management: A Qualitative Systems Approach describes a body of theories and data that addresses safety by drawing on systems theory and applied psychology, stressing the importance of human activity within systems. It explains in detail the central roles of social consensus and reliability and the nature of verbal reports and functional discourse. This text presents a new approach to safety management, offering a path to both greater safety and to economic savings. It presents a series of methodological tools that have proven to be reliable through extensive use in the rail and nuclear industries. These methods allow organizational and systems failures to be analyzed much more effectively in terms of quantity, precision, and usefulness. The concepts and tools described in this book are particularly valuable for reliability engineers, risk managers, human factors specialists, and safety managers and professionals in safety-critical organizations.

AKUNTANSI MANAJEMEN PADA ENTITAS PUBLIK

Judul : AKUNTANSI MANAJEMEN PADA ENTITAS PUBLIK Penulis : Alexander Anggono Editor : Prasetyono Ukuran : 15,5 x 23 cm Tebal : 320 Halaman No ISBN : 978-623-5687-43-8 Upaya mewujudkan corporate governance pada organisasi publik maupun institusi pemerintah merupakan sebuah mimpi bagi seluruh masyarakat di belahan dunia. Terjadinya fraud dalam pengelolaan organisasi publik merupakan sebuah riak-riak dan fenomena yang tak terelakan, mengingat beraneka ragam perilaku dan motivasi aparatur dan stakeholders. Ini menggambarkan pentingnya organisasi publik harus dikelola dan dikendalikan untuk mewujudkan tujuan organisisasi yang optimal. Beda halnya dengan entitas privat yang berorientasi pada profit, entitas publik cenderung bertujuan untuk melayani dan mewujudkan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Begitu juga dengan pengelolaan keuangannya, entitas publik tidak dapat mengelola keuangannya secara penuh. Kondisi ini disebabkan entitas publik tidak banyak yang dapat mengelola penerimaan dan pemanfaatan keuangan secara langsung seperti pada entitas privat. Buku ini membahas urgensi perencanaan dan pengendalian manajemen, good governance, aspek perilaku dalam organisasi, manajemen strategi, program dan penganggaran, pendapatan asli daerah, pusat pertanggungjawaban, manajemen keuangan, reward dan punishment, pengukuran kinerja, manajemen risiko, pengendalian intern, evaluasi dan pelaporan pada entitas publik. Pembahasan dalam buku ini meliputi aspek teori, praktik dan dilengkapi berbagai fenomena dan contoh sederhana yang terkait entitas publik. Buku ini cocok dibaca oleh akademisi dan peneliti yang bermaksud mendalami aspek akuntansi manajemen pada entitas publik serta bagi praktisi yang diharapkan dapat menjadi masukkan dalam pengambilan keputusan dan kebijakan. Buku ini juga menjabarkan urgensi penerapan good government yang secara konsep menopang dalam pengelolaan entitas publik. Seperti halnya entitas privat, organisasi sektor publik juga harus dikelola baik dengan mendasarkan pada prinsip-prinsip manajemen yakni perencanaan (plan), pelaksanaan (do), evaluasi (check) dan tindak lanjut (action). Oleh karenanya pembahasan dalam buku ini juga mengarah pada PDCA yang terkait upaya entitas publik dalam mencapai tujuan dan kinerjanya serta dalam merealisasikan visi dan misinya. Adanya konsep PDCA ini menjadi pemicu, alat strategi dan penilaian kinerja untuk aparatur dan entitas publik, sehingga dapat dirumuskan implementasi pengendalian yang tepat. Merupakan hal yang wajar jika entitas publik harus dikelola dengan baik, sehingga harapan dan keinginan semua pihak agar entitas publik dapat melayani masyarakat dengan baik dan mewujudkan kesesjahteraan masyarakat.

Management for the Public Domain

Enabling the Learning Society

In this important attempt to reorient the theory and practice of public management, Stewart Ranson and John Stewart argue that public organisations must be analysed in terms of the distinctive values, purposes, tasks and conditions of the public domain. They show how it is only on this basis that they can meet the needs of citizens in a mature democracy and support the processes of a learning society.

The demand for greater accountability , therefore , arguably challenges not only the insularity of the professionals and their inability to account to the public , but also this ongoing political tradition of accountability because of ...
