| Research Abstract |
1 Extension and usefulness of accounting information (1) by a general review of the existing accounting stanndards in Japan , we confirmed the necessity to improve them and tried to find the way of improvement.
(2) We studied the way of disclosure of segmented accounting information , which goes well with Japanese economic system . The result of our study was reflected in "a Statement on the Disclosure of Segmented Information",which was issued in 1988 by the Corporate Accounting Board . With this statement , disclosure system of segmented information is established .
(3) We tried to find basic standards for the accounting and disclosure for so-called "off- balance" transactions . Although our study did not come to a conlusion , we confirmed , it is nesessary to establish the theoretical standards , which identify the items shown on the balance sheet itself , not as notes , decide the timing of income realization for the transactions of new financial instruments, and distinguish hedging transaction from speculation.
2 Extension and usefulness of management accounting information We confirmed by empirical research that the management accounting information is changing remarkably to correspond with the changes of circumstances .
(1) In the field of capital investent , the management accounting information had to be combined with engineering and business finance .
(2) Strategic budgeting plays an important part in the profit management , and transfer price and allocation of corporate indirect costs are applied generally in the performance evaluation .
(3) Total productive maintenance is prevailing in many manufacturing works as a result of productive revolution represented by computer integrated manufacturing and so on .
