October 13, 2009

Analysis of:Business Fends Off Tax Hit | online.wsj.com

Once again, a proposal to reform how a U.S. based multinational company's foreign earnings are taxed has failed to gain congressional support. Similar proposals introduced over the past twenty years have consistently failed to gain traction. The current proposal was part of the Obama administration's fiscal year 2010 budget which made reference to additional tax revenues in excess of $200 billion related to the reform of corporate taxation on foreign earnings.

In this analysis I look at  the effects of these changing dynamics in relation to auditing and control factors.

The policy of Central Banks over the last year has left the  monetary system in a state of limbo.

In this analysis I take a look at how this increasing value of gold may effect   internal controls and corporate financial policies.

Analysis of:For Obama, a Chance to Reform the Street is Fading | www.nytimes.com

The current recession is part of a business cycle. The reasons for the recession are several but then a trough after a long period of prosperity is to be expected. President Obama puts the blame on investment bankers and executives. There is also talk of legislation to limit further repeats.

Parmalat (once Italy’s largest dairy company) was "Europe’s Enron".In my experience, fraud and corruption in an organisation can only be rooted out if my “five principles of good governance” are followed.When something stinks, you open the window and throw it out.
