The accompanying consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, and other financial in-formation presented in the annual report were prepared by management, which is responsible for their in-tegrity and objectivity. The fmancial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally acceptedaccounting principles and include amounts that are based upon our best estimates and judgments.We maintain an effective system of internal accounting control. We believe this system provides reasonableassurance that transactions are executed in accordance with management authorization and are appropri-ately recorded in order to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally acceptedaccounting principles and to adequately safeguard, verify, and maintain accountability of assets. The con-cept of reasonable assurance is based on the recognition that the cost of a system of internal control shouldnot exceed the benefits derived.PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent certified public accountants, is retained to audit our financialstatements. Their accompanying report is based on audits conducted in accordance with generally acceptedauditing standards. The audits include a review of the internal accounting control structure to gain a basicunderstanding of the accounting system in order to design an effective and efficient audit approach and notfor the purpose of providing assurance on the system of internal control.The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is composed of three outside directors and is responsiblefor recommending the independent accounting finn to be retained for the coining year, subject to share-holder approval. The audit Committee meets periodically and privately with the independent accountants,as well as with management, to review accounting, auditing, internal accounting controls, and fmancial re-porting matters. 自教育部在《关于加强高等学校本科教学工作提高教学质量的若干意见》【教高(2001)4号】中提出双语教学的要求后,各地高校相继开设了一系列双语教学课程。这对提高学生的学科和外文水平,开阔国际视野,培养创新型人才起到了重要的作用;一大批教师也逐渐熟悉了外文授课,自身的教学水平和能力得到较大提高,具备国际学术思维的中青年教师脱颖而出。同时,经过近几年的双语教学实践,国外原版教材量大、逻辑不够清晰、疏离中国现实等问题也影响了双语教学的效果。因此,对外版教材进行本土化的精简改编,使之更加适合我国的双语教学已提上教材建设日程。
为了满足高等学校经济管理类双语课程本土化教学的需要,在教育部高等教育司的指导和支持下,高等教育出版社同ThomsonLeaming等国外**出版公司通力合作,在国内**推出了金融、会计、经济学等专业的英文原版改编教材。
