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

Introduction A conceptual framework establishes the concepts and provides the guidelines that underlie financial reporting. 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). One such conceptual ...

Policy Manual Introduction

A policy manual is a general guideline that details the policies and best practices that an organization in a particular industry should follow. This is the case with health care in general and protecting patient data in particular.

Introduction

There are several reasons why the annual Burning Man festival is unique among mass gatherings. Held in the Black Rock section of America’s Great Basin desert in Nevada, Burning Man’s 70,000 participants construct a city that houses—and in itself functions as—a participatory performing arts space, a communal spiritual retreat, and a cathartic experience of radical self-expression (Brill 2007). Then, one week later, they tear it all down, pack everything out, and leave no trace behind. It is an anti-market event (Cesewski & Giles 2007) whose participants rely on gift-giving and barter to secure any necessities ...

Sustainable production refers to the process of creation of goods and services while ensuring that the energy and natural resources are conserved, pollution is minimized, economically viable.

Introduction

Mega-Events such as the World Cups and Olympics are so huge that it requires almost creating a temporary city for the massive event, with power, toilets, waste, water, and transport, among a host of other things. Such an event is inherently environmentally unsustainable, as it produces masses of waste and consumes unnecessary resources. While having no event is the most environmentally friendly event, there are many reasons countries hold why mega-events. However, it is beyond a doubt that those conducting the event have a social and environmental responsibility to reduce their impacts. This is true for all events, whether ...

It is worth mentioning that running a marketing campaign is not an easy task as many people may believe. It requires adequate planning and analysis (Keller, Parameswaran, & Jacob, 2011). The project requires careful management right from when the idea is created up to the time the campaign wraps up. Our project will, therefore, entail running a successful marketing campaign. For any company, marketing and advertising are inevitable endeavors as they allow a firm to compete favorably with other players within the same industry. However, some companies carry out marketing campaigns but end up failing to improve the status of ...

Coca-Cola Enterprises is the largest manufacturer of soft drinks in the world. As a result, it sits on the 13th position in the 2016 Global 100 list of companies. Its operations affect the entire spectrum of sustainability from economic, social, and environmental. Its impact on the sustainability dimensions is further raised by the expansive nature of its operations. Its operations cover expansive business processes that include the supply chain, logistics, as well as waste management among others. As a result, the company inherently has a large carbon footprint. It was in recognition of this fact that the company took ...

Approximately 250 million tons of waste were generated each year in America which implied that 4.5 pounds of waste are produced per person per day. Apparently, trash disposal is an aggravated issue that necessitates utmost attention as household wastes kept unceasing with population growth and industrial expansion (EPA 2009). As a CEO of a large waste management industry that manages 20 million customers using the existent 273 municipal landfills along with 91 recycling facilities and 7 waste-to-energy facilities, critical business has to be conducted irrespective of systematic protest against the current landfill practices of the company. Evidently, customers tend ...

Business organizations are expected to exercise CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), which involves undertaking business activities and using business practices that have benefits to the society. The use of environmentally-friendly methods of production and other business activities is one of the practices that demonstrate that an organization is socially responsible. Being socially responsible implies that a firm does not engage in activities likely to cause harm to the society (Marcandella et al. 138). Therefore, by establishing a new manufacturing plant, the company should not just focus on profit maximization, but should also consider how much the society is likely to ...

There has been increasing awareness of the role of waste in the production of greenhouse gas emissions and its impacts on climate change. Diminishing natural resources has led to the recognition that what is discarded as waste has the potential to be reused as resources. Governmental legislation on prohibiting toxic materials and prevention and control of the volume of waste has helped in decreasing adverse environmental effects. There is a growing public awareness about waste prevention and its beneficial effects. The society has to replace the linear model of extract-produce-consume-dispose to closed Loop's approach of resource recovery and waste ...

While at school, pupils start to study subjects, which are somehow related to nature. They learn more about ecology and the state of our planet’s environment. From the study we learn a lot about the sources of pollution and about what contribution we can do to keep Earth safe. Whenever we hear the word ”nuclear”, automatically we think about a devastating power which causes an unimaginable harm to our planet. It means that the reprocessing of the nuclear fuel should be urgently done. However, this question turned out to be argumentative and questionable. This article addresses why nuclear ...

Question 1

It is not a prudent idea to have companies being required to take back their products for recycling and disposal. The cost of the practice may be too high to the extent of discouraging the business between the two countries entirely or have the costs transferred to the final consumer and the tax payers of the associated nations. A particular inefficiency is introduced in shipping back products, which strains the facilities that can be used for more productive activities such as the transport of high-value products. The practice would also have a negative impact on the profits of the ...

China is a huge country with a booming population. There are millions of people roaming around the city day and night, and street food is one of the most common and cheaply available of foods that the place can offer. However for the food to be cheap, its raw material needs to be cheap as well. Hence, Chinese entrepreneurs came up with a solution of using sewerage waste, animal fats and discarded waste from slaughterhouses and grease traps in order to recycle these and produce usable cooking oil. The process is a step by step one, where a person ...

Central Issue:

The question to be answered is how Mattel should respond from a strategic standpoint in light of a product recall that involved unsafe toys that were made in China. While the use of offshoring of labor is pervasive in the industry that Mattel works in, there are indeed other options and having “tainted” toys and other products that are used primarily, if not solely, by children is a huge problem for Mattel from a reputation and liability standpoint.

Recommended Course of Action:

Mattel is in a precarious position in that having the toys made in the United States or in other fully developed ...

Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, the world has found itself with more waste material from production than in any other time since time in memorial. The need to conserve the environment and ensure that these waste products do not deter the quality of resources, like air and soil has grown in the last two decades a great deal.

Peers’ Comments

Comments from the group discussions had an impact on the development of the proposal. Kristin Ball Kristina Ball thought that the proposal was too broad and suggested scaling it down to a local renewable energy project within the locality since renewable energy on a wide scope such as a country is a huge undertaking. Also, she thought of addressing Shared Renewable in a ...

Proposal Discussion

The original project idea has not improved much except for the incorporation of some ideas borrowed from the feedback received from other class members. One of such ideas is the proposal to design two different waste containers: one for storing degradable wastes and another for storing non-biodegradable waste. Every household in the area targeted by the project will be given the two containers and the members of the household informed of what kind of waste to put in each one of the containers. Besides, every household will be issued with a list of wastes classified into biodegradable and non-biodegradable. ...

First of all, it is essential to note that the approach towards the garbage collection and its further utilization is radically changed by the communities across US. Currently, pay-as-you throw system (which is also referred in the scientific literature as the volume-based, unit pricing or variable rate system) is already launched by significant number of local governments. The core motivating factors for such approach are the following: increased rates of the costs for disposal as well as the reduction and recycling goals, which are set by the states on the legislative level. In accordance with the traditional approach towards ...

Thailand faces the huge problem of waste disposal with less than 25% of annual waste being properly managed. Thailand government has actively encouraged energy-from-waste production by enhancing public awareness, and sharing knowledge related to waste management with municipalities and concerned authorities.

Factors that led to the writing of the United States Constitution and the ideas behind the design

The needs to establish a national government and guard the fundamental rights of citizens are the factors that led to the writing of the constitution. Previously, the United States governing document was the Articles of Confederation that made the national government weak since states operated like independent countries (Archives). With the new constitutions, therefore, plans were in place to make the federal government stronger by having three branches including the executive, legislative and the judicial (Archives). Also, the design of the three branches was that no single branch would have much power since there were systems of checks and ...

Introduction

Economics of Sustainability is the ability to maintain a distinct level of economic growth indefinitely. Even though economics have conventionally stated economy and the ecological systems as different fields, the economic aspects of sustainability try to view the environment and economy as incredibly interlinked multifaceted systems. It gives more information on how the economic portion of the integrated system is transformed to be sustainable. Economically, sustainability provides an establishment of actions to be done by the present people that will not weaken the predictions of the future people to enjoy levels of wealth, consumption, or utility (Huesemann 547).

Throughout my life, I had been taught that I should not hit people. I think this is common sense, and my parents had taught me this since I was very little. Nevertheless, there was a moment in my childhood where I believe that the correct course of action was to actually hit somebody. As a child, I was playing at recess and one of the school bullies came up to me, and told me that if I did not hit my best friend, that he would beat of both up. I hit her because I did not want both ...

In the recycling stage of printers, pollution results in the form of emission and waste that negatively impact land and water by contaminating them. There are several legislations such as Waste Management Law 1970, which was amended in the years 1991, 1992, and 1994, the Law of Promotion of Use of Recycle Waste or Recycling Promotion Law 1991, etc have emphasized on disposal and recycling stages in the life cycle (Goldman, 2013). But, as a matter of fact, these stages represent most evident environmental threats. During recycling, toxic effects associated with disassembling or melting of lead are produced (Sundaram, ...

Recycling of copper is an industrial procedure that has been done over the centuries. Copper is recycled to prolong its use and improve its importance. Recycled copper has been smelted into electrical wires, heat exchangers, and even copper tubes. Recycling of copper minimizes the loss that would be incurred by just throwing them away. Upcycling, on the other hand, is the reproduction of copper wires to their initial beneficial state and even better. (Hicks, Dietmar, & Eugster, 2005). When copper wires are disposed of, they are placed in landfills. Over the years, the disposal has led to the landfills becoming ...

The modern day society is technologically oriented, with virtually every activity being conducted with the help of various forms of technology. The implication is that the world has seen a massive rate of large-scale production of technology devices. Estimates point out that close to 50 million tons of e-waste are produced globally (Lepawsky & Mcnabb, 2010). The developed countries are the primary producers of this waste, with the role of doing away with the waste left to the poorer developing countries. In the US and Canada for example, close to 80% of all electronic waste is exported to Asia and ...
