Both Documents are attached To complete this Assignment in an approximately 1000-1,200 word response, address the following issues/questions: Use your review of the two assigned articles as support to prepare an integrated collaboration response that will address the following question: What do you believe is an appropriate objective for a manager in the Accounting and Finance fields? In responding to this question, you might want to consider some of the following: • What are the challenges that managers face in efforts to be ‘socially responsible’? • How might a self-serving manager exploit social responsibility for his or her own personal gain? • Do budgeting processes plus strategic management accounting tools encourage a shareholder- or stakeholder-centric focus? • What mechanisms might help to bind managers’ interests to those of shareholders’ or stakeholders’? • Does a positive NPV equate to a project that adds value to the typical stakeholder? Draw upon examples of existing experienced globally and as discussed in the articles.
