Abstract
The paper shows that the increased globalization of companies has led to a dilemma for investors because accounting standards in various capital markets are not always reliable. It shows too that in an effort to increase the reliability of financial information in capital markets the SEC seeks to maintain the high quality of financial reporting in the U.S., while working towards establishing a high quality financial reporting structure worldwide. This paper summarizes the issues presented in the SEC?s concept release on International Accounting Standards. These issues include: the five elements of global financial reporting; exceptions to rules for foreign private issuers using accounting standards that differ from GAAP; and the three criteria for assessing the International Accounting Standards Committee.
From the Paper
"Rigorously interpreted and applied: The development of high standards does not ensure that the standards will be upheld. In order for the standards to be practiced consistently accountants have to understand the responsibility they have in applying these standards consistently and in a manner that is needed to ensure high quality. This understanding only comes when regulators including auditors, rigorously interpret and apply these standards to accounting standards around the globe. The SEC contends that IASC standards are not used in many capital markets, which makes it impossible for them to be interpreted or applied. In addition countries that do utilize IASC standards have yet to incorporate the new changes created by the IASC."

From the Paper
"The International Accounting Standards Committee
The International Accounting Standards Committee was formed in 1972, in an effort to standardize accounting procedures amongst the international investment community (Feldman & Herbert, 1977). The widespread adaptation of IASC standards is dependent upon the pressure applied by the large international financial institutions, stock exchanges, and accounting firms (Cummings, 1974). The overall objectives of the IASC are to ensure that accounting standards in each member country conform to IASC set standards (Slipkowsky, 1986). Independent auditors are available to satisfy the authenticity of these financial standards. Noncompliance in reference to IASC standards are noted in issued audit reports (Feldman & Herbert, 1977)."

"The new electronic interdependence recreates the world in the image of a global village." (McLuhan (1962 (1996, p. 31). There are many advantages of having one global set of accounting standards that will provide society with a crucial service not only in the United States, but in other countries as well. In recent years there has been shameful accounting methods used in which billions of dollars in retirement wealth and investments have had great financial losses. Because of these slanderous actions, the integrity and the ability to survive these accounting services have been questioned. Globalizing international trade by using a set of global accounting standards has had a tremendous effect in the way business is conducted. (Pagiavlas 1)"

From the Paper
"Introduction
Quality has become an important issue for companies, and in today's global market, it is no surprise that quality management has taken on global ramifications. Despite the recognition that quality is an important issue for companies, there are no truly international standards which seek to define and establish quality measurements. Two very different approaches, Total Quality Management (TQM) and standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) have evolved in recent decades. TQM grew out of Japanese approaches to quality management and has been adopted largely in the United States; standards developed by ISO have been largely adopted in Europe. This research examines the different approaches to quality management between the United States and Europe, with an emphasis on the difference ..."

"Environmental Standards and International Trade
Introduction
Although the environmental movement has to some limited extent affected trade on an international level, there is a definite tug of war over how the nations of the world should react. Those nations and individuals who favor market forces, want to see as little international legislation as possible. Those nations and individuals more deeply entrenched in the "green" movement, take humanity's stewardship of the planet more seriously, and actively seek more effective environmental standards.
The Issues
Environmental issues are not limited to first, second, or third world countries. To a large extent, environmental issues in small or.."

Law, Non-Profit Organizations, and Standards of Care, 2002.
A discussion on whether a lower standard of care is expected of non-profit organizations as compared to commercial enterprises within the legal field of tort.
3,580 words (approx. 14.3 pages), 34 sources, APA, £ 70.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Throughout the history of law, numerous legal claims have been brought against non-profit organizations. The legal field of tort has also seen a significant amount of non-profit organizations drawn into lawsuits. Using cases from the Commonwealth jurisdictions (Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and UK), the paper shows that a lower standard of care should definitely be expected of non-profit organizations. It first lays out the arguments that reject a lower standard of care and then discards these arguments, stating that it is only practical and logical that a lower standard of care be expected.
From the Paper
"After carrying out this research essay, it is my firm opinion that a higher standard of care should definitely be expected of commercial enterprises compared with not for profit organisations. It is just and fair that this is so, as shown by the arguments set out above. Not for profit organisations generally face higher costs compared to commercial enterprises and they serve a more benevolent purpose that puts the good of society above anything else. The standard of care for non-profit organisations should be a reasonable one. It should be lower than that expected of a commercial enterprise but it cannot be so low as to defeat the aim of justice."

Abstract
This paper explores the World Trade Organization's bias against the poor and how it almost exclusively favors the rich. The paper also looks at how the major players in the WTO system do not abide by the very rules that they have created.
From the Paper
"The recent Cancun round of negotiations within the WTO, regarding especially agricultural subsidies, showed that finally the developing countries starting with giants such as India and Brazil, preponderantly agricultural countries with significant contribution to world trade, backed up by China, could finally make a common point and a stand still against the European Union and the United Stated. The strange and somewhat revolting point of discussion is that, while boasting liberalization and free trade, the EU and the United States spent an approximated $300 billion in subsidies, almost all of them going to agriculture. Isn?t a subsidy a way to ignore the free trade boasted as the main program by the WTO? Of course, you do not use taxes to raise imported goods prices, but you follow a reverse pattern and use subsidies to lower national goods prices and make them more competitive on the foreign market."

With the advent of the Internet and the ability to transfer funds across borders seamlessly and with low transaction costs the move toward globalization is no longer limited to only large companies ..."

Abstract
The paper attempts to determine the place of standard and non-standard varieties of English in education. It examines how the study of language attitudes has a long history that has expanded across several decades and social scientific disciplines and how it recognises that language is a powerful social force that does more than convey intended referential information. The paper also looks at how a "standard" English has developed over the years and how it has been dictated by association with the social group with the highest degree of power, wealth and prestige.
From the Paper
"By the 16th century a specific form of English used mainly by the government, and among the most educated, had surfaced and the standardisation of its written form was later encouraged by the development of the printing press. Regional dialects which possessed their own distinctive grammar, vocabulary and accent, continued to be spoken by all classes of society until their rapid decline in the 19th century. The main reason for this decline was related to issues such as geographical mobility, the spread of education, and the mass-readership press. Meanwhile, a standard form of accent, now known as 'received pronunciation' (RP) had emerged and by around 1900 this form, or one very close to it and containing only a few small markers of one's local accent, had come to be widely recognised as the form indicative of 'educatedness' (Honey, 1983)."
