The global thrust of economic activity has been a reality for decades. Financial markets have shown how events in one country or economic area affect entities elsewhere in the world. Despite such globalization, the accounting principles used to measure and report on economic activity have remained mostly fragmented. Competition from foreign financial markets and companies headquartered in foreign countries led to the establishment of the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) in 1973. Until 2007, the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) in the US required foreign companies under its purview who used IFRS to reconcile the resulting statements with GAAP principles. If required to follow IFRS, corporate accountants are likely to face mounting ethical pressures from their...

That's one I wished I had back," said [Mike Allen], now in private law practice. "About two years ago, I saw him on the street downtown, and I apologized. I have been following what's he's doing, and although I do not agree with everything he does, he's a fine young man. "I don't define myself as a rabble rouser," [Christopher Smitherman] said. "I grew up in an upper-middle class family, I am upper-middle class. I'm very proud of that success. I've built this business from scratch, and it's been able to take care of my family. My financial independence allows me to be independent politically." "He was absolutely right in the concerns he had," [Marian Spencer] said. "I differed with him on die jail tax issue. We do not agree on everything. I've found him exceedingly capable, personable...
The people who say Daytonians blame the mayor when things aren't going well are absolutely right. Just ask Rhine McLin, who was defeated last year by Gary Leitzell, an independent who had no name recognition, no money and was challenging an incumbent Democrat in a Democratic city.
Fraud has been on the rise over the past decades, and America's charitable communities have not been immune to these acts. To minimize the opportunity for fraud and abuse in this sector, one must understand the two broad categories of nonprofit fraud: those committed against the nonprofit and those committed by the nonprofit. To minimize the opportunities for fraud and abuse, nonprofits absolutely need strong board leadership and improved independent audits. The board of directors of a nonprofit organization has a fiduciary responsibility to the organization and its grantees and donors. In addition to its oversight responsibilities for policy making, planning, fiscal management, and public liaison, the board has fraud-related oversight responsibilities. In addition to boards being more ...
I knew absolutely nothing about this process until we got involved in it," says Tony Goldman, director of the administrative 'division, which oversees food services at the legislative building. "It's really kind of amazing to see how they can reduce this waste to almost nothing. Composting uses worms known as red worms or wigglers. (Larger nightcrawlers or earthworms don't like the captive life and don't eat much organic matter anyway.) These worm species are highly adaptable to the conditions found in most worm bins. Thin and only a few inches long, the 50,000 worms at the statehouse weigh only about 50 pounds. After a waste audit at the legislative building, 60 percent of the food waste began to be diverted from the landfill. Each month, 12,000 pounds goes to the Interfaith Food Shu...
