The first proposition when people are lazy and all they do is sit idly waiting to reap where they did not sow will not solve the matter at hand.

The harder one works the more promising it is for a better living hence solving the income inequality. ...

Introduction: Ethical Issue

Auditors hold positions of trust in the society. However, over the years, auditors have been accused and, in some occasion, found guilty of failing to live up to these expectations. Therefore, this inability necessitated the enactment of laws that will support both accounting through strengthening firm’s internal controls and procedures and auditing through attestation of these internal controls. As such, this has strengthened the auditors’ position to uphold the social trust. Nonetheless, isolated cases have been observed where auditors have given the organization a clean bill of health yet such organization end up collapsing due to malpractices that ...

I would rather receive proceeds from an investment paying 5% compound interest. The compound interest will be higher than the simple interest because the compound interest accrues on the principal amount plus accumulated interests of the previous periods. On the other hand, simple interest only accrues on the principal amount. The future value interest factor for 10% 2 years is greater than the present value interest factor. This is because future value involves compounding while the present value involves discounting.

When the interest rate increases, the present value of annuity decreases but the future value of an annuity increases.

I would prefer a savings account paying interest compounded daily. The more frequent the compounding, the more interest the ...

The usefulness of the balance sheet

a. No, the focus of accrual accounting, different to cash accounting, gives more accurate information about the company in the financial behavior.

Benefits resulting from Due Diligence for Responsible Business Report

CSR generates benefits for a business internally as well as for the external stakeholders. However, it is challenging to monetize the benefits of the CSR since much of the benefits are only visible in long run.

On the other hand, whether firms are likely and able to practice the CSR is highly dependent on their managers’ incentives as well as constraints that are in turn determined by their preferences, contracts, ethical beliefs and objectives.

GST is one of the most controversial laws in Australia.

A central bank can use monetary policy to burst a developing bubble in the economy by increasing the policy interest rate. This would cause the yields of ...
