...GMB fails to pay workers for half a year by Staff Reporter 18 February 2015 | 2444 Views Employees at the embattled Grain Marketing Board (GMB) on Wednesday blocked the company's head demanding their outstanding six months salaries. "We are not striking but simply demanding what we are owed, we worked for it and we deserve to get our money. We are making huge sales but always told that the company is waiting for treasury. Are we not supposed to generate our own salaries through sales?" President of GMB Workers Union Steven Machaya told ZBC News. Mrs Sibongile Muchirahondo, the GMB Deputy General Manager - Human Resources said while addressing angry workers: "we are working towards getting your salaries and plead with you to go back to your work stations. We will pay you by the 20th. We are struggling but we are also doing something about your plight." The GMB is mired in serious financial problems which have resulted in delays in purchasing maize from farmers and the failure toemployees pay US$52,4 million for the 255 519 tonnes of grain delivered last season. Corporate governance according to the Stakeholder approach to corporate governance, the management of a company must ensure that they represent all the views of stateholders. However in the case of GMB in a report by Staff Reporter (2015), employees of the embattled GMB had blocked the company’s head demanding their six month outstanding salariers. They said they were not striking but were simply demanding...

...Field Inspection Checklist This checklist provides a format for the recording of observations at work sites visited during the inspection. Use this information for completing the inspection and providing the score required for the contractor’s health, environment and safety (HES) qualification rating. The summary of the inspection findings and detailed information about the areas needing improvement (not the scoring) shall be communicated to the contractor’s site representative. After completing this form, turn it in to your local HES representative and provide a copy to the work site supervisor/leader. Company representatives observe the work site and work practices of the contractor. The contractor is an independent contractor responsible for the safe and timely completion of the work in accordance with applicable industry standards and the contract and company specifications. If the work site or practices of a contractor are unsafe, stop the work and notify the contractor’s representative immediately. It is then the contractor’s responsibility to evaluate the situation, take any necessary corrective or remedial action and restart the work when it is safe to do so. The company should not direct the work or provide any work instructions or corrective measures directly to the contractor personnel, except for situations where imminent danger exists. Other than stopping any unsafe work practices, limit inspections to obtaining information for the company’s audit and evaluation...

...There are many areas and elements of information systems (IS) audit. Based on the scope of the assignment, the annual audit plan and other factors, the IS auditor may undertake the review of a specific area. (Refer to the "IT Audit Basics" column in Journal, volume 1, 2002, for the elements of IS audit.) Auditing General Controls A general controls review attempts to gain an overall impression of the controls that are present in the environment surrounding the information systems. These include the organizational and administrative structure of the IS function, the existence of policies and procedures for the day-to-day operations, availability of staff and their skills and the overall control environment. It is important for the IS auditor to obtain an understanding of these as they are the foundation on which other controls reside. A general controls review would also include the infrastructure and environmental controls. A review of the data center or information processing facility should cover the adequacy of air conditioning (temperature, humidity), power supply (uninterruptible power supplies, generators) and smoke detectors/fire suppression systems, a conducive clean and dust free environment, protection from floods and water seepage as well as neat and identifiable electrical and network cabling. Physical access control is another important area for review. Today in a highly networked world, logical access to computer systems is literally universal, yet there is a...

...C HAPT E R 11 ACCOUNTING FOR BRANCH OPERATIONS Corporations in Financial Difficulty Not-for-Profit and Governmental Entities Partnerships Reporting Requirements Multinational Entities Multi-Corporate Entities Branch Operations Additional Consolidation Issues Intercorporate Transfers Consolidation Procedures Consolidation Concepts Intercorporate Investments Business Combinations One route to corporate expansion is the external approach of acquiring other companies in business combinations, as discussed in Chapter 1. Another approach to expansion is through internal growth. While such growth can occur at a single location, companies often expand by establishing additional locations. For example, Wal-Mart’s phenomenal growth would have been impossible had the company not established many new stores at various locations throughout much of the country. When operations are conducted at more than a single location, the different locations may be referred to as sales agencies, branches, plants, or by numerous other terms. Unfortunately, terminology referring to multiple operating locations is not standardized. In addition, many different approaches are taken in establishing internal accounting and reporting systems for companies operating through outlying locations. Distinction between Sales Agency and Branch The difference between a sales agency and a branch most often has to do with the degree of autonomy. A sales agency, sometimes referred to simply as an “agency,”...

...Checklist for Evaluating Internal Controls Internal control evaluation checklists are meant to help a company assess the structure within the organization. An effective internal control guarantees the integrity of financial reporting. There are five components of an internal control system, which include: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring. Not only are there five components, but there are three phases, understanding, assessment, and testing. This checklist helps to assure that control objectives are achieved with cost-benefit consideration. Auditors will need to consider the five components within the three phases of the internal control evaluation. Below is a sample checklist for the internal control of a company: Client Name ____________________________________________________________ _____________ Prepared by ____________________________________________________________ _____________ Date Prepared ____________________________________________________________ ___________ Internal Control Checklist Phase I Understanding Internal Controls Control Environment: 1.

...The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) checklist is a tool developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) that is used to gather and record information on the functioning and disability of an individual (ICF, 2003). The ICF examines four major categories; Impairments of body functions and structures, activity limitations and participation restrictions, environmental factors, and person factors. (ICF, 2003). Charlie will be to connect the ICF and his condition of lacking his extremities. ICF describes body functions as the physiological functions of the body systems including psychological functions with the impairments shown as a significant deviation or loss (ICF, 2001). Each impairment is rated via a scale to indicate the extent of the impairment (ICF, 2003).

...The Negotiation Checklist is a list that helps to prepare you for negotiation. The list consists of four parts: you (the negotiator), the other party (them), the situation or environment, and the relationship between the parties. According to Tripp, “The well prepared negotiator knows the playing field and the players, is seldom surprised, and can promptly capitalize on opportunities.” In the first part of the negotiation checklist, self-assessment is necessary in order to determine what you want out of the negotiation process. You must determine the goals that you have in this negotiation, so you can determine what you want out of the deal or process. After the goals are set, each issue must be determined then be assessed as to whether or not they are important or not in the negotiation. Then you must determine your BATNA or Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement. If you have multiple alternatives, you are able to demand more in negotiations. Lastly, you must determine what your resistance point is, and when you can walk away or choose your BATNA. The second part of a negotiation checklist is the other party in which you are negotiating with. The other party must determine any issues that they have as well as address the issues that you bring to the table. Even though you have alternatives, the party that you are negotiating might have other alternatives as well. You must determine what the other party’s resistance point is and also set your resistance point...
