CONCLUSIONS""; ""References""; ""Appendix"" 330 3 $aPrior actions are measures that need to be implemented prior to Board approval of an IMFsupported program. This paper examines whether such prior actions can signal a willingness to implement reforms, especially when the member's track record is weak. We find some support for this signaling role, particularly for programs supported by the General Resources Account (GRA). Controlling for the member's previous track record, prior actions are associated with greater compliance with other structural conditions, suggesting their possible use as a screening device. Moreover, prior actions set at program approval serve as a useful screening device and strengthen the macroeconomic targets set out in the IMF-supported program. The results also reveal a demonstrable screening effect on growth over the medium term, since the growth impact of the ratio of prior actions at the outset versus the rest of the program is significantly positive while the total number of prior actions is not statistically significant. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/213 606 $aInternational finance 606 $aBudget planning and preparation$2imf 606 $aBudget Systems$2imf 606 $aBudget$2imf 606 $aBudgeting & financial management$2imf 606 $aBudgeting$2imf 606 $aCurrency$2imf 606 $aDeflation$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policy$2imf 606 $aFiscal policy$2imf 606 $aFiscal stance$2imf 606 $aForeign Exchange$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange$2imf 606 $aInflation$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aNational Budget$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aPrice Level$2imf 606 $aPrices$2imf 606 $aPublic expenditure review$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aReal exchange rates$2imf 607 $aUnited States$2imf 615 0$aInternational finance. 615 7$aBudget planning and preparation 615 7$aBudget Systems 615 7$aBudget 615 7$aBudgeting & financial management 615 7$aBudgeting 615 7$aCurrency 615 7$aDeflation 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aFiscal Policy 615 7$aFiscal policy 615 7$aFiscal stance 615 7$aForeign Exchange 615 7$aForeign exchange 615 7$aInflation 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aNational Budget 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aPrice Level 615 7$aPrices 615 7$aPublic expenditure review 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aReal exchange rates 700 $aRamakrishnan$b Uma$01816453 701 $aThomas$b Alun$01098448 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968754103321 996 $aThe Incidence and Effectiveness of Prior Actions in IMF-supported Programs$94372541 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03694nam 2200733Ia 450 001 9911020193703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786613677877 010 $a9780470636831 010 $a0470636831 010 $a9781119205135 010 $a1119205131 010 $a9781280752216 010 $a1280752211 010 $a9780470636817 010 $a0470636815 035 $a(CKB)2670000000019319 035 $a(EBL)533981 035 $a(OCoLC)630544712 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000426002 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12182215 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000426002 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10373359 035 $a(PQKB)10442421 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC533981 035 $a(Perlego)1006518 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000019319 100 $a20100121d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aPreventing and detecting employee theft and embezzlement $ea practical guide /$fStephen Pedneault 210 $aHoboken, N.J. $cWiley$dc2010 215 $a1 online resource (336 p.) 225 1 $aWiley Professional Advisory Services ;$vv.5 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a9780470545713 311 08$a0470545712 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aPreventing and Detecting Employee Theft and Embezzlement: A Practical Guide; Contents; Preface; Acknowledgments; Introduction; Chapter 1: Hiring the Right Employees; Chapter 2: Know Your Employees; Chapter 3: Sales, Cash Receipts, and Collections; Chapter 4: Credit Card Sales, Transactions, and Merchant Statements; Chapter 5: Purchases, Cash Disbursements, Checks, and Petty Cash; Chapter 6: Credit Cards and Debit Cards; Chapter 7: Employee Expense Reimbursement; Chapter 8: Electronic Banking; Chapter 9: Payroll Processing; Chapter 10: Inventory Issues and Controls 327 $aChapter 11: Bank Statements, Canceled Checks, and ReconciliationsChapter 12: Financial Reports; Chapter 13: Safeguarding Your Bookkeeping or Accounting Systems; Chapter 14: Prevention, Detection, and Insurance; Chapter 15: Your Response to an Identified or Potential Issue; Appendix A: Embezzlement Controls for Business Enterprises; Appendix B: Who Was Lester Amos Pratt?; About the Author; Index 330 $a ""If you don't think that some employees have figured out ingenious ways to steal from businesses, read this book.
