...WHAT IS BASEL II? Basel ii is a framework, and the standards it contains have been endorsed by the Central Bank Governors and Heads of Banking Supervision of the Group of Ten countries. It presents the outcome of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s work over recent years to secure international convergence on revisions to supervisory regulations governing the capital adequacy of internationally active banks. Following the publication of the Committee’s first round of proposals for revising the capital adequacy framework in June 1999, an extensive consultative process was set in train in all member countries and the proposals were also circulated to supervisory authorities worldwide. The Committee subsequently released additional proposals for consultation in January 2001 and April 2003 and furthermore conducted three quantitative impact studies related to its proposals. As a result of these efforts, many valuable improvements have been made to the original proposals. The present paper is now a statement of the Committee agreed by all its members. It sets out the details of the agreed Framework for measuring capital adequacy and the minimum standard to be achieved which the national supervisory authorities represented on the Committee will propose for adoption in their respective countries. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision is a committee of banking supervisory authorities that was established by the central bank governors of the Group of Ten countries in...

...Instructor's name Course name Date Human Resource Management in Multinational Organizations A Preliminary Research on Self-Initiated Expatriation as Compared to Assigned Expatriation Human resource management in multinational organizations is complex due to the cross-cultural and international aspects related to its nature. This article examines the phenomenon of 'expatriation': choosing to leave one's own country in order to live or work in another, usually for a long period of time. Multinational organizations require a certain level of staff relocation in order to improve their knowledge of emerging markets as well as maximizing their talent resources. In addition to assigned expatriates, meaning those moving to another country following an assignment from their workplace, the article refers to "self-initiated expatriates, meaning people who choose to move to another country on their own. Human resource needs for both kinds of expatriates are unique, and may differ from each other. Self-initiated expatriates may exhibit more motivation to live in a different country and uproot their family for a long period of time, and this motivation may facilitate an easier transition, therefore being less demanding for the human resource management (Mo and Jian-Ming 170-172) Workplace flexibility and the changing nature of work: an introduction This paper examines articles referring to how the changes in the work environment require flexibility on behalf of the organization...

...1 Introduction The primary purpose of this essay is to comparatively analyze information disclosure of intellectual capital in the UK and China, using the content analysis method on company annual reports. In contemporary society, the importance of intellectual capital (IC) and the popularity of using IC to value a company’s competitiveness have been increasing. The definition offered by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (2001) is probably one of the most comprehensive definitions: “…the possession of knowledge and experience, professional knowledge and skill, good relationships and technological capacities, which when applied will give organizations competitive advantage.” Predicting a company’s future market performance is one of the key functions of IC information disclosure (Roslender and Fincham, 2004). Consequently, IC will have a significant role in the future value creation process. This study has some limitations, such as the small sample number, which has implications for how representative the data are. Ten companies in the respective stock markets were selected in the UK and China (total twenty) and content analysis was performed. A larger sample would have made the calculations too complex for the time available. The following paper reports the results of empirical research indicating that the trend of IC information disclosure is steadily increasing in both China and the UK...

...creating guidelines for how financial reporting should regulated in order to stabilize the banking industry. Part of this effort has been led by the Basel Committee in its creation of its Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision consultative document that was released in December 2011. The committee consisting bankers and regulators from its 27 member countries provides a framework for establishing bank governance. The United States, even though a member of the Basel Committee, had previously resisted implementing this framework, instead favoring its own legislation. However, the Federal Reserve agreed to adopt the Basel rules as means of governing the nation's banks against the objections of large financial institutions who argued that these guidelines are too strict. As of May 2012, the proposal of this agreement has not yet been released by the Federal Reserve. It is hoped that the endorsement from the United States of the new requirements under Basel III will work to encourage the European Union to follow suit. Banking Supervision Unlike many of the other countries that follow the Basel framework and have only one bank regulator, the United States banking system is governed by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve consists of several different entities that include the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Office of Thrift Supervision or any one of 50 state regulatory bodies. Within the actual Federal Reserve Board, there are...

...to the income statement, one common reformulation is to divide reported items into recurring or normal items and non-recurring or special items. In this way, earnings could be separated in to normal or core earnings and transitory earnings. The idea is that normal earnings are more permanent and hence more relevant for prediction and valuation. Normal earnings are also separated into net operational profit after taxes (NOPAT) and net financial costs. The balance sheet is grouped, for example, in net operating assets (NOA), net financial debt and equity. 2. Analysis and adjustment of measurement errors question the quality of the reported accounting numbers. The reported numbers can for example be a bad or noisy representation of invested capital, for example in terms of NOA, which means that the return on net operating assets (RNOA) will be a noisy measure of the underlying profitability (the internal rate of return, IRR). Expensing of R&D is an example when such...

...to determine the reliability and viability of its risk management and current and future solvency needs under normal and extended stress occasions. An analysis of reasonably predictable and relevant material risks such as underwriting, credit, market, operational and liquidity risks that could affect the insurer’s ability to meet its policy holder agreements already underwritten is required from insurers. As the term “Own” in ORSA suggests, an insurance organisation does the assessment of its current and prospective risks. This prepares the management to anticipate probable capital needs that can arise and a suitable action to be taken to provide for the needs efficiently. ORSA is the main component in capital management strategy of an organisation. This can be backed up by the three main components that ORSA accomplishes. First it is responsible for determining the risks an insurer faces in its operations. These risks are mainly financial risks highlighted earlier. By determining the risks that are faced, the insurer can put in place measures and directives to alleviate or deal conclusively with them. Another important factor to consider is that ORSA determines the amount of capital to protect a firm against such risks. This is in event where actually the risks are inevitable. Therefore financial resources, have to be put sought so that in case of such occurrence, the risks are taken care of be the predetermined capital and they do not cripple any operations...
