Accounting Standard Setting under the Australian Conceptual Framework and Application in Business Practices

As a coherent system of notions that flow from an objective, which in turn serve to identify the purpose of financial reporting, a conceptual framework also provides guidance on the identification of the boundaries of financial reporting. Its concepts further provide guidance on the selection of transactions, related events, and circumstances to be presented, and how such elements should be summarized and ultimately reported (Financial Accounting Standards Board [FASB], 2008).

How does context influence employment relations issues for HR practitioners in local government?

Human resource management is managing people as they work in organizations. The Human Resource Department plays a very significant role in an organization. This is so because it caters to the most important resource – people. The department is responsible for the selection and retention of employees who will help achieve the goals of an organization. This selection is crucial as this would predict the kind of workforce an organization would have. Once potentials are seen as congruent to what the organization needs, employees are considered potential assets and are retained in the organization. The role of the Human Resource ...

Deficit spending refers to the spending of funds more than the income. In government, deficit spending occurs when the government expenditure exceed the revenues collected over a specified fiscal period (Investopedia, 2016b).

The consequence of this is that the government has to borrow even with the achievement of the highest estimates in revenue collection. The government finances the deficit through two main ways. Traditionally, the major method of meeting the ...

Examination of Performance Review Conflict

Examination of Performance Review Conflict Performance review conflict can create serious problems in the public sector. In reviewing an employee’s performance, the supervisor considers self-reported performance assessment, his/her observations of an employee’s work, and feedback from other supervisors and peers who had the opportunity to oversee or observe the work of the employee. However, ratings for each criterion depends, in part, on the subjective interpretation of the supervisor. Rater bias and favoritism based on gender, race, age, physical appearance or attractiveness, personality, and personal relations or interests may influence supervisor ratings. Evaluation results become the basis of ...

The Canadian workforce has experienced significant positive changes since the introduction of workers unions under the industrial relations (IR) movement.

Unions work under the rules and regulations of industrial relations, which define various rates of union membership. The study of employees’ unions in the Canadian workforce has played a significant role in understanding ...

Introduction

All organizations be it public or private strive to survive to progress and grow. To achieve this goal, organizations may need to change their physical infrastructure or incorporate some changes in their routine operations. These changes have always been viewed a top-down approach that is mostly induced by managers (Samuel, 2013). Due to this reason, organizational change theory has been a very useful tool for management practice. There are various and multiple information sources available today on change theories to help managers manage change in organizations. However, despite the vast amount of literature involving change management available today and ...

Introduction

Modern social, political, business and economic contexts make people and groups increasingly aware and concerned with diversity.

However, the MENA labor market continues facing economic segmentations because of the poor wage structure and ...

Introduction

In recent years, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has taken a considerable change in terms of women's employment. However, while admirable changes are taken to bridge the gender wage gap, women in the labor sector remain to be at a disadvantage. It was observed that a majority of the MENA countries has sensibly capitalized in providing better education to women, yet most of these states have not tapped fully into the women’s labor force for improved economic growth. This demonstrates the gender-based discrimination that generally hinders women in the MENA region to impart their potential ...

Among others, some of the vital tasks of PC include the development and implementation of the public image strategy, ...

Abstract

Do the imbalances in current accounts still matter in today’s deep global financial markets that exhibit two-way gross economic flows that dwarf the new outcomes provided by current accounts? Contrasting the adult perception of the world and complete markets, extreme current account imbalances indicate severe financial and macroeconomic stresses, particularly as was the case in the mid-2000s. The increasingly massive valuation differences in nations’ net global investment standards and positions, as well as risk allocations, cannot be relied upon to offset the variations in regional wealth systematically as implied in the current accounts. The same conditions that warrant ...

Abstract

Public safety agencies have a tendency to ignore leadership succession planning and the formal development of future leaders. A combination of budget cuts, a lack of internal interest, increased public scrutiny, and politics means that public agencies often do not prepare for leadership changes. The average leadership tenure in the public sector has a reputation for being more extensive than the private sector, which is perhaps one of the reasons why public agencies do not place as much importance on succession planning. The average tenure of leaders in fire and rescue agencies is shortening due to increased job demands ...

INTRINSIC AND EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION ON POLICE BEHAVIOR

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation on Police Behavior There is a theory that declares ‘if you do not love what you are doing when you go to work every day you are wasting your time’. While there are people who go to work just to make ends meet fulfilling the base of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (Jancewicz, 2016), those who work in the law enforcement portion of the public sector are often drawn by a need to “protect and serve” (Jancewicz, 2016).

Policing may occur by both private and public investigators. Policing is the maintenance of peace in a community. Security is the goal. Private police originally emerged because the public police could not fulfill all the needs and securities of individuals. Corporations and private landowners were the first to hire private investigators, but today, they are being hired by railroads, airports and even the government. There are very few similarities and many differences between these two types of investigators. The most obvious difference between private and public investigators is the involvement of government: One works for the government and the ...

Introduction:

Pensions are an essential part of a civilized welfare state that rewards hardworking and taxpaying citizens with security in old age. The rationale behind pensions is that citizens who have worked for a living for almost 40 years of their young lives and have paid taxes deserve to have a regular source of passive income after retirement in old age. This is to ensure their basic needs are taken care of and they do not become a burden on society and private individuals. It also ensures higher spending in the market as opposed to a greater part of earnings ...

Externalities take place when consumers/manufacturers activities have an unintentional or indirect impact on other consumers/manufacturers without affecting prices.

According to Stiglitz (216), “Externalities arise whenever an individual or firm undertakes an action that has an effect on other individual or firm”.

According to Chambliss et al. (2010), the state is involved in organized crimes through collusion, evasion, corruption, and substitution. I tend to believe that through evasion, the perpetrators try to evade any legal connection. I believe through evasion, Individuals involved in state organized crimes attempt to distance themselves completely from the activities of the business and the state. For instance, I have witnessed individuals set up legitimate businesses that barely have a link to their names. The organizations then are placed in the frontline to launder money from the state. Such organizations are offered tenders to supply good or ...
