Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The process of economic globalization has created a new entity in the dominion of economic phenomena: the world economic system. In this essay we have tried to give a scientific answer to the question 'What is the world economy ' by proposing mechanisms which generate all the phenomena involved in that question. We have adopted an enactive perspective, and we have taken the Theory of Autopoiesis applied to social systems as our main methodological frame of reference, along with some contributions from Evolutionary Institutionalism. Thus, we have been able to conclude that, for us as observers, the world economy, as world economic system, is a social system: which arose spontaneously, when the conditions for it occurred, as a final consequence of the will of the human beings who compose the system; which has the capacity to self-regulate, thanks to institutions and continuous decisions by innumerable agents who have a specific ideology as reference; and the evolution of which depends on the capacity of these self-regulation mechanisms to neutralize disturbances while never losing the capitalist identity of the system (although ideological changes are sometimes necessary). 72 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Different scandals around the globe during the past, in specific during the last decade, have intrigued the stakeholders to question the roles of both auditors and management. But most of the fingers since then have been raised on the role of auditors, because it is the auditors who are entrusted with the responsibility to detect any errors or frauds in the financial reports of the client-firm.

The reason for this growth is the existence of an alternative called as `Islamic insurance products provided by the Takaful insurance companies. Ever since the establishment of the concept of Takaful, the Takaful providers have been capturing the market in the Islamic community with this core competency feature in their products.

Vulnerability issues for Dhaka considered flood and earthquake, though in the latter parts earthquake got more attention reasonably. An integrated approach for disaster risk management in Dhaka is yet to develop. The policy measures that have been taken so far in this regard lack proper enforcement.

There have been some very good initiatives for capacity building in this field including academic programs, training and workshops. Different government and non-government organizations are working for awareness-raising among communities. But lack of coordination and reluctance of the policy makers towards incorporating newer measures in the policy and lack of law enforcement as well, leave Dhaka in a very critical position considering specially the earthquake threat. 92 pp. Englisch.

Even though internal auditing is generally not mandatory for companies to set up, its importance these days has increased phenomenally due to the fact that it assists companies to systematically evaluate and improve their risk management, internal controls and governance processes. Internal auditors are therefore expected to be independent and objective in order to provide unbiased and reliable reports, and to win the trust and confidence of people though admittedly, independence and objectivity are not easy to achieve in reality since the internal auditors are employees of the companies they audit and report on. This study critically investigates if independence and objectivity can truly be achieved in practice by employing a case study of the Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM). The book will serve as a comprehensive guide for both students and practitioners of Accounting and Auditing. Also, it will immensely be useful for academicians. 68 pp. Englisch.
