This paper investigates differences between the financial statements of Volvo Corporation, Daimler AG, and Fiat SPA as prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S.GAAP) from 2004-2006. The application of IFRS generally resulted in higher net income than U.S. GAAP. Many differences have already been resolved by the convergence projects of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the International Accounting Standards Board. However, significant and persistent reconciling items that are likely to affect U.S. automakers' financial statements include: pension and other post-retirement benefits expenses, capitalization of development costs, and minority interests reporting.

To avoid extinctions and other harms to ecological health from escalating climatic change, scientists, resource managers, and activists are considering and even engaging in "assisted migration" -- the intentional movement of an organism to an area in which its species has never existed. This article explores the profound implications of climate change for American natural resource management through the lens of this controversial adaptation strategy. It details arguments regarding the scientific viability and legality of assisted migration under the thicket of laws that govern natural resources in the US. The article explains why contemporary natural resource law's fidelity to historic baselines, protecting preexisting biota, and shielding nature from human activity is increasingly unte...

Asset-based lenders (ABL) typically rely on appraisals to establish borrowing base (Bbase) advance rates on inventory. More specifically, appraisals help establish the net orderly liquidation value (NOLV) if a borrower must use inventory collateral to repay an asset-based loan. NOLV refers to the value obtained from a planned liquidation sale that occurs over a reasonable time frame. Appraisers use a "market-value" approach and "level-of-trade" concept when determining the NOLV of inventory. In the retail sector, the relevant market value is defined as the net proceeds from a going-out-of-business sale. To determine the NOLV cost rate, compare the inventory NOLV to the inventory cost reported on the company's financial records. A key challenge for ABLs is to ensure that the inventory Bb...
