Purpose This paper aims to highlight the accountability reporting objectives of four Māori-controlled organizations. The examples cited reflect the core values of the indigenous Māori people of New Zealand (Aotearoa) and help demonstrate how these values are manifest in the accountability reporting of Māori-controlled organizations. Design/methodology/approach Narrative sections of ten annual reports of two small and two large Maori organizations, drawn variously from their financial years ending in the calendar years 2009 to 2014, are read closely. These organizations represent diverse tribal and regional associations in terms of size, scope and structure; and in terms of the business, social and cultural activities they pursue. Findings Three core Māori values are identified: spirituality (wairuatanga); intergenerationalism and restoration (whakapapa); and governance, leadership and respect (mana and rangatiratanga). The commitment to these values and the way this commitment is reflected in accountability reports of Maori organizations, is presented. Originality/value The examples provided, and the associated discussion, should help inform reporting initiatives of organizations that are seeking better accountability in terms of their long-term engagement with indigenous communities, the environment and broader society.

Role Management

The accounting profession and business community have called for educators to present accounting in more realistic business contexts. Annual reports and 10-Ks provide a wealth of information that brings accounting to life, but use of these reports is typically confined to financial accounting courses. The first objective of this paper is to describe a process by which instructors can use a real companya's 10-K to create a series of mini-cases for cost and management accounting courses. These cases are intended to bridge the gap between typical end-of-chapter problems and full-blown Harvard-style cases. A series of cases based on the same company not only increases student interest, but is also an efficient way to help students understand and start to grapple with the ambiguity and complexity inherent in real-world management accounting (factors absent from most structured textbook problems). Applying a variety of different management accounting tools and techniques to the same company helps students integrate what can appear to be a large set of loosely related topics, and better appreciate the broad role management accounting plays in supporting strategic business decisions. Our second objective is to provide a specific illustration of a series of 10-K-based cases. We have successfully used these cases in both the undergraduate junior level cost/management accounting course, and in M.B.A. introductory core and elective courses.

Do So

This article examines the structural contradictions underlying the difficulties of implementing the Chinese exclusion laws first enacted by the US Congress in 1882. I argue that these contradictions were grounded in the material and ideological conditions of the period, were reproduced in the unwieldy logic of the exclusion laws, and emerged as unresolvable enforcement dilemmas. Most important, the anti-Chinese racism on which the exclusion laws were based clashed with economic interests driven by the promise of lucrative trade with China. Using unpublished archival materials, the Congressional Record and Congressional reports, as well as annual reports of the enforcement bureaucracy, I show that exceptions to the exclusions for Chinese merchants were an attempt to reconcile this contradiction, and in turn generated formidable enforcement problems. Further, I argue that the impossibility of making sharp binary distinctions between merchants and 'coolies', and the humiliating procedures involved in the futile effort to do so, subjected the Immigration Bureau to criticism from exclusionists for their failure to detect fraud, and from the Chinese and their advocates in the business community for their harsh practices. The implications for sociolegal studies more generally are examined in the conclusion.

Strategy of development of school health in modern conditions includes the population and personalized levels of sanitary and epidemiological well-being of children, the formation of culture and skills of healthy lifestyle for children, adolescents and young adults. A separate trend is sanitary-epidemiological diagnostics: sanitary-epidemiological examinations, investigations, surveys, studies, tests and other types of assessments. In the context of weakening sanitary and epidemiological supervision, the responsibility of the heads of educational institutions for ensuring sanitary and epidemiological wellbeing of students, the prevention of school-related diseases, the protection and promotion of health of rising generation is increasing. Personalized school health should provide individual risk assessments to the health of students and the justification for individual road maps (navigation) for maintaining and promoting health, and for formation of healthy lifestyle for students. The development of population and personal school health requires adequate resources. The main investors should be state structures and business community.
