    The Investiture Controversy

    The Investiture Controversy is seen often times as a significant conflict between Church and State in medieval Europe. However, it was really a conflict over two radically different views of whether the secular authorities such as kings or dukes, had any legitimate role in appointments of spiritual offices such as bishoprics. In the eleventh and twelfth centuries the control of appointments or investitures of church officials such as bishops and abbots became a conflict between Pope Gregory VII and Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor. This reveals that medieval society had to decide which authority figure to support, either the secular or spiritual authority, because each one believed that the other was entitled to more authority than the other.…

    DEREGULATION GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ROLE OF EXTERNAL AUDIT.

    DEREGULATION GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ROLE OF EXTERNAL AUDIT.

    The nature of accounting is changing with specific demands in the market. Today, the SME clients require specific information and thus there have been a positivist-accounting approach while preparing accounting statements. One step in this positivist approach is where the general purpose financial statements are becoming deregulated and let market forces control the quality of the general purpose financial statement. The deregulation of the financial statement means that the statement created must not follow all the guidelines of the general accepted accounting principles but rather be user or client oriented. The information that the special purpose statement will contain may be different from that in the general purpose financial statement because the goal of the two accounting approaches is different. The deregulation of the general accepted financial reports however does not necessary mean that the independent auditor play a greater role and will earn more revenues.…

    Government and Not for Profit Accounting

    NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANISATIONS 13 2 Not-for-profit organisations Key points Many not-for-profit organisations (NFPs) feel they are poorly understood by government and the general public. Pressures to be more efficient have seen overhead spending reduced at considerable detriment to effectiveness and improved resource allocation over time (allocative efficiency). The sector is diverse, but NFPs display some common behavioural patterns: – Whereas the behaviour of for-profit business is driven mostly by their desire for profits, the behaviour of NFPs is driven mostly by their mission or communitypurpose. – Demonstrated commitment to their community-purpose underpins support for their activities, whether by members for member-serving NFPs, or by donors and government who provide funding for community-serving NFPs.…

    Loopholes in the Audit Procedure: ZZZZ Best Company, Inc

    The claim that Larry Gray lacked sufficient knowledge of the client’s business or industry is evident in several scenarios. First, Gray did not perform an analysis of the industry. Paragraph five of AS No.9 states that “planning the audit includes establishing the overall audit strategy for the engagement and developing an audit plan, which includes, in particular, planned risk assessment procedures and planned responses to the risks of material misstatement.” Planned risk assessment procedures include performing analytical procedures to determine whether the company’s key financial ratios were consistent with industry averages. In addition, Gray should have compared revenues from insurance restoration contracts across several companies in the same industry. If he would have performed these routine procedures, Gray would have realized that ZZZZ Bests reported insurance restoration revenue was grossly overstated.…

    Taxation Chapter1

    LO1 A clear understanding of the role of taxes in everyday decisions will help you make an informed decision about the value of studying taxation or pursuing a career in taxation. One view of taxation is that it represents an inconvenience every April 15th (the annual due date for filing federal individual tax returns without extensions). However, the role of taxation is much more pervasive than this view suggests. Your study of this subject will provide you a unique opportunity to develop an informed opinion about taxation. As a business student, you can overcome the mystery that pervades popular impressions of the tax system and perhaps, one day, share your expertise with friends or clients. What are some common decisions you face that taxes may influence? In this course, we alert you to situations in which you can increase your return on investments by up to one third! Even the best lessons in finance courses can’t approach the increase in risk-adjusted return that smart tax planning provides. Would you like to own your home someday? Tax deductions for home mortgage interest and real estate taxes can reduce the after-tax costs of owning a home relative to renting. Thus, when you face the decision to buy or rent, you can make an informed choice if you understand the relative tax advantages of home ownership. Would you like to retire someday? Understanding the tax-advantaged methods of saving for retirement can increase the after-tax value of your retirement nest egg—and thus increase the likelihood that you can afford to retire, and do so in style. Other common personal financial decisions that taxes influence include: choosing investments, evaluating alternative job offers, saving for education expenses, and doing gift or estate planning. Indeed, taxes are a part of everyday life and have a…
