Among other observations, our statistical analysis revealed the dual nature of textbook approaches to international accounting. There is one group of textbooks covering the accounting aspects of company internationalization, with a "monistic" view of accounting systems, in other words one which considers financial accounting and management accounting together; these books are concerned with the accounting dimensions, in the broadest sense, of multinational corporations. Then there is a second group of textbooks which take a country-by-country approach, and seek to highlight the differences between countries. Problems relating to the internationalization of accounting frameworks are dealt with locally, on a national level. It is true that a few. | SWIM Paper Accounting for Water Use and Productivity David Molden w. IIMI System-Wide Initiative for Water Management SWIM Papers In an environment of growing scarcity and competition for water increasing the productivity of water lies at the heart of the CGIAR goals of increasing agricultural productivity protecting the environment and alleviating poverty. TAC designated IIMI the lead CGIAR institute for research on irrigation and water management as the convening center for the System-Wide Initiative on Water Management SWIM . Improving water management requires dealing with a range of policy institutional and technical issues. For many of these issues to be addressed no single center has the range of expertise required. IIMI focuses on the management of water at the system or basin level while the commodity centers are concerned with water at the farm and field plot levels. IFPRI focuses on policy issues related to water. As the NARS are becoming increasingly involved in water management issues related to crop production there is a strong complementarity between their work and that of many of the CGIAR centers that encourages strong collaborative research ties among CGIAR centers NARS and NGOs. The initial publications in this series cover state-of-the-art and methodology papers that assisted the identification of the research and methodology gaps in the priority project areas of SWIM. The later papers will report on results of SWIM studies including intersectoral water allocation in river basins productivity of water improved water utilization and on-farm water use efficiency and multiple uses of water for agriculture. The papers are published and distributed both in hard copy and electronically. They may be copied freely and cited with due acknowledgment.
