    Encarnación Aragoneses Urquijo (1886-1952), better known as Elena Fortún, was a famous Spanish children literature’s writer, whose work has been recently reconsidered, in the light of her complex and pioneering activity as a journalist and female creator exploring her unconventional social and gender identity. This paper focuses on the novels she wrote while exiled in Argentina, analysing how this experience reshaped her children literature’s writing, along with its impact on her crucial and most autobiographical novel, Oculto sendero. Published posthumous in 2016, the novel explores Fortún’s in-between gender,social and geographical condition

    Negliultimi anni il fatturato delle società che fornisconoservizi di cloudcomputingè costantemente cresciuto ripagando gli investimenti effettuati e dimostrando quanto questa nuova modalità di gestione e conservazione dei dati e delle informazioni stia diventando di utilizzo comune. Il cloud computingsembra,dunque, essere diventatoundriver fondamentaleper la crescitadelle società IT. La sua distribuzione, legata amodelli diversi di fornitura del servizio, apre le porte a considerazioni sul corretto trattamento contabile dei contratti di cloud, soprattutto per quanto attiene all’area del riconoscimento dei ricavi da parte delle società che forniscono tali servizi. Lo IAS 18 (Revenue) e il nuovoIFRS 15 (Revenue fromContracts withCustomers) presentanospecifici requisitiper il corretto riconoscimento dei ricavi che in alcune circostanze, come per alcune tipologie di contratti (contratti complessi con prestazionimultiple per esempio), possono renderemeno lineare il riconoscimento dei relativi ricavi in bilancio. La novità della contrattualista cloud, legata alla dinamicità del servizio offertoe alle diversemodalitàdi fornitura, aggiunta allanotevole crescitadel segmentosulmercato, rende opportuno un approfondimento sul tema

    Following the recent global financial crisis, the issue of finding a better accounting consolidation model has become so important that both the IASB and the FASB have decided to address the problem by improving the accounting standard for the consolidated financial statement. Starting from theoretical assumptions on consolidation, this study analyzes the different approaches that the two standard setters follow, focusing also on the problematic question of SPE’s, and current trends in the accounting convergence process in order to assess the real progress of accounting harmonization in this area and to highlight the importance of this topic as a field of research in worldwide accounting regulation

    in risposta al crescente numero di organizzazioni che utilizzano il cloud computing come una valida alternativa per soddisfare le loro esigenze tecnologiche, il Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) nel 2012 ha pubblicato un paper intitolato “Enterprise Risk Management for Cloud Computing”. Il documento fornisce indicazioni sui principi identificati dalCOSOper valutare e mitigare i rischi derivanti da cloud computing. Il COSO nel giugno 2016 ha pubblicato il documento “Enterprise Risk Management - Aligning Risk with Strategy and Performance”. La nuova versione è stata progettata per migliorare l’approccio aziendale ai rischi nuovi ed esistenti soprattutto in contesti in continua evoluzione per contribuire a creare, conservare, sostenere e realizzare il valore, in altre parole a migliorarne le performance. Una delle recenti evoluzioni è rappresentata dall’impiego daparte delle aziende del cloud computing e dei rischi e dei benefici a esso connessi ed è per questo che il presente lavoro si pone l’obiettivo di analizzare le best practice in tema di gestione del rischio applicato al cloud computing

    Towards a framework for disclosures in corporate financial reports: a critical analysis

    No full text
    The studies carried out on disclosure in the last two decades have created great interest in the narrative section of corporate reporting. However, despite the undoubted effects of disclosure on the efficiency of the capital markets, as empirical research has shown, the significant increase in information in corporate reporting and the lack of adequate regulation have contributed to incrementing the complexity, subjectivity and unreliability of disclosure. There is a strong consensus in the financial community on the essential role of disclosure in corporate financial reports, with the result that many standard setters have increased their efforts to develop a framework for disclosures. Among others, in July 2012, the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group published a Discussion Paper, “Towards a Disclosure Framework for Notes”, and in October 2012, the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) published the Discussion Paper “Thinking about disclosure in a broader context” that aimed to address the underlying principles and content of corporate disclosure to assist standard setters in developing disclosure requirements on a more consistent basis using a set of agreed principles. From an interpretative and critical perspective of qualitative analysis, this paper examines the main characteristics of the two kinds of disclosure and compares them in order to verify how they fit in with the necessity to rationalize and simplify the current disclosure regime and to create a Framework that may lead to an equilibrium between costs/benefits and providing entity-specific information/comparability. The analysis presented here is supported by an examination of the vast literature on the subject with the aim of highlighting how the two papers in question respond to the issues arising from studies on disclosure. The results of the analysis show that the two Disclosure Frameworks apply different approaches with few similarities. This situation could create various initiatives that complicate the debate on disclosure framework and the identification of disclosure requirements on a more consistent basis of agreed principles. Additionally, the critical analysis underlines the gap between the EFRAG and FRC discussion papers and the features of high quality disclosure identified by the main studies on disclosure. Finally, it presents some reflections about the identification of the key principles for a better disclosure such as user’s needs, placement criteria, materiality and comparability starting from the Conceptual Framework of financial statement. This paper encourages debate on the narrative part of the financial statement and the importance of finding a framework for disclosure that would eliminate the tendency to present a boilerplate lacking in relevance and comparability
