...The Financial Accounting Standards Board, the guideline making association for sound accounting standards, has issued two guidelines influencing the charitable part. These models will have the most noteworthy effect on philanthropies in more than 20 years.

The effect of FAS 116 & 117 is extensive to the point that all levels of operations at a charitable will be influenced - not only the bookkeeping office. For instance, advancement officers will need to know the accurate terms of commitments keeping in mind the end goal to accurately record them under the new norms, lawful help may be required to focus the best possible treatment for blessing trust additions & misfortunes, & machine support may be obliged to suit the new reporting prerequisites.

...record The Disadvantages of an ADR • An ADR may not be suitable for everyone • If the ADR process is binding, the parties normally give up most court protections, including a decision by a judge or jury under formal rules of evidence and procedure, and review for legal error by an appellate court. • ADR may not be effective if it takes place before the parties have sufficient information to resolve the dispute. • The neutral may charge a fee for his or her services. If the dispute is not resolved through ADR, the parties may then have to face the usual and traditional costs, such as attorney's fees and expert fees. • Lawsuits must be brought within specified periods of time, known as Statutes of Limitations. Parties must be careful not to let a Statute of Limitation run while a dispute is in an ADR process...

...Kaplan University Statute to the Samantha Smith Slip and Fall Case Donna Barnes PA201-06 Statute: Ind. Code Ann. § 34-51-2-7 (West 2013). The statute states that action based on fault against a defendant or defendants maybe treated as a single party. It also states that the jury is to determine the percentage of fault the claimant, of the defendant of any non-party. If the percentage of fault to the claimant is greater than fifty percent of the total fault involved in the incident that caused the injury the jury shall return a verdict for the defendant. If the percentage of fault of the claimant is not greater than fifty percent of the total, the jury shall determine the total amount of damages the claimant would be entitled to recover if contributory fault were disregarded. The jury then multiples the percentage of fault of the defendant by the amount damages determined and then enters a verdict for the claimant in the amount of the product of that multiplication. Statement of Fact: Samantha filed a complaint in trial court alleging negligence on the part of the store and is seeking damages for injuries that she suffered from the fall. The store is saying that Samantha is just as much at fault as they are. The store claims that Samantha wasn’t paying attention to where she was walking and should have been able to avoid the fall. The store also claims that Samantha was distracted by her young son. Question presented: Is Samantha just as much at fault as...

...http://ogekazacharia.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/notes-on-delay-defeats-equity-equity.html Limitations Act Delay defeats equity: Laches is an unreasonable delay in enforcing a right. If there is an unreasonable delay in bringing proceedings the case may be disallowed in equity. Acquiescence is where one party breaches another's rights and that party doesn't take an action against them they may not be allowed to pursue this claim at a later stage. These may be used as defences in relation to equity cases. For a defence of laches courts must decide whether the plaintiff has delayed unreasonably in bringing forth their claim and the defence of acquiescence can be used if the actions of the defendant suggest that they are not going ahead with the claim so it is reasonable for the other party to assume that there is no claim. (Nelson v Rye 1996) http://www.lawteacher.net/free-law-essays/property-trusts/the-law-of-equity.php 1= MEANING : If one sleeps upon his rights, his rights will slip away from him and therefore, the maxim has been expressed in a rather different form, shouting to the passive, otiose and slothful that : ” equity aids the vigilant and not the indolent. ” Smith vs Clay (1767) ” a court of equity has always refused its aid to stale demands, where a party has slept upon his right and acquiesced for a great length of time. ” 2= Proviso : This maxim applies only when a claim is made to equitable relief.

...Medical Malpractice Statute of Limitations In this assignment we will cover the statute of limitations that govern medical malpractice. We will do such by identifying the statute of limitations placed on medical malpractice by Alabama and Massachusetts. We will discuss some of the similarities and differences between the two. The State of Alabama has very specific rules when it comes to the statute of limitations they impose on medical malpractice. In Alabama all actions against health-care providers must be filed within two years after the date of the injury occurred, or within six months of the date the injury was, or should have been, discovered. In no event may a suit be filed more than four years after the date of the act giving rise to the injury occurred. This limitations period applies to minors over four years of age. However, in the case of a minor under four years of age, that minor has until his or her eighth birthday to file a medical malpractice action In Massachusetts there are also certain statutes of limitations for medical malpractice that must be considered if filing a malpractice suit. All medical malpractice actions must be filed within seven years after the date of the act or omission giving rise to the injury with the exception of actiosn for a foreign object being left inside the body, in which case the limitations period begins to run when the plaintiff discovers or should have discovered the presence of the foreign object. For medical malpractice...

...Retention of HR records Revised July 2015 What are HR records? HR records include a wide range of data relating to individuals working in an organisation, for example, pay or absence levels, hours worked and trade union agreements. This information may be stored in a variety of media such as paper files and, increasingly, on computer databases. It is important for all organisations to maintain effective systems for storing HR data, both to ensure compliance with all relevant legislation (for example in respect of the minimum wage or working time regulations) as well to support sound personnel administration and broader HR strategy. Our factsheet on human capital has more details of how employee information can help identify the sort of HR or management interventions which will drive business performance. However, as detailed below, in the UK a complex regulatory regime governs the length of time for which HR records should be stored. The legal position Legislation There is a substantial and complex amount of legislation in the EU and UK that has an impact upon the retention of personnel and other related records in those regions. Examples of legislation dealing with particular categories of records are provided in the boxes below. Access, storage, format and destruction The Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) applies to most personnel records, whether held in paper, microform, or computerised format. Under the DPA data must not be kept any longer than is necessary for...

...0.5% the amount owed would be $7,866.60 {$5,619 + $2247.60 (5,619*0.05*8)} or could be up to a maximum of $16,857 {$5,619 + $11,238 (5,619*0.25*8)}. Also the IRS could impose an interest charge per day of 3%, as of the last interest table (interest change every 3 month). As for problem 1-47 the IRS can audit Dan tax return but they have to meet certain criteria. The IRS has a 3 year statute of limitation but there are 3 exceptions to that limitation: * The IRS has six years from the date a return is filed to audit a tax return and to assess additional tax if the taxpayer omits income that amounts to more than 25% of income that was reported on the tax return. * The IRS also has six years to audit a tax return and assess additional tax on income related to undisclosed foreign financial assets if the omitted income is more than $5,000. * The statute of limitations on audits and assessing additional tax remains open indefinitely if the taxpayer files a false or fraudulent tax return. Therefore the IRS can audit Dan 2010 tax return because it falls within the 3 year limitation. The IRS can also audit Dan 2008 because he failed to report $40,00 of income and that is more than 25% of his income in 2008( income of $60000*.25= $15,000) as for the 2003 tax return...

...both unspoken and spoken, is second nature to mankind. It has become habitual to conform to the orders of authority in order to promote obedience as a social virtue. This often leads man to equate disobedience with sin, which traces as far back as the biblical account of Adam, Eve, and the Serpent. However, neither disobedience nor obedience could exist without the power of an authority figure to dictate the rules and restraints of submission. In his article “The Perils of Obedience,” Yale psychologist Stanley Milgram asserts that authority as a whole is an essential component of social living and that obedience to this authority is a social behavior unknowingly entrenched in a majority of the population. Milgram’s scientific review explores this claim as he shares data from his experiment in which subjects blindly obey someone they believe to be an expert, simply due to his prompting. Supported with reactions...

...Detrimental Reliance Detrimental Reliance occurs when someone takes action or fails to take action because of what appeared to be a promise made by another individual, without knowing if true or untrue. It is very similar to Promissory Estoppel in that the other party is "estopped" or legally prevented from denying liability, even though no formal contract was formed, because of its promise. An estoppel by representation [of fact] will arise between A and B if the following elements are made out. First, A makes a false representation of fact to B or to a group of which B was a member. [It is not necessary to demonstrate A knew that the representation was untrue.] Second, in making the representation, A intended or [in the alternatively,] knew that it was likely to be acted upon. Third, B, believing the representation, acts to its detriment in reliance on the representation. [It must have been reasonable to rely on the representation.] Fourth, A subsequently seeks to deny the truth of the representation. Fifth, no defense to the estoppel can be raised by A. (The Law of Waiver, Variation and Estoppel) Section 90 of the Restatement (Second) of the Law of Contracts reads, “Promise Reasonably Inducing Action or Forbearance: A promise which the promisor should reasonably expect to induce action or forbearance on the part of the promisee or a third person and which does induce such action or forbearance is binding if injustice can be avoided only by enforcement of the promise...

...The "Business Discussions" section's Question 1 on Page 117 How does discovery work? During discovery both the plaintiff and the defendant are called on to produce facts that are impertinent to the case. The lest expensive way to do this is through interrogatories in which the opposing party is given a series of questions to answer to the best of their knowledge. A more expensive way is when witnesses to the case are called in for a deposition and asked question to which that have to answer orally. Also, either party may ask for particular documents to be produced such as, warranties, contracts, receipts, etc., called request for production of documents. After one or all of these methods are used one of the parties may have a request for an admission to eliminate certain issues in the dispute and possibly come to an agreement that will avoid the case going to court. Can you be required to testify twice in a deposition and at trial? Yes a person can be required to testify twice in a deposition and at trial as long as the testimony they are given is not a repeat of what was already offered. Should you shred all documents you have a bout the case? You know that some of the documents will not put the firm in the best light. No, you should never shred any evidence. You should offer up any documents that is relevant to the case. You wonder what will happen at trial. Will it be like what you have seen on TV or in the movies? Real life court will be nothing...

...Bullen R2208481 DE 100 Investigating Psychology 1 TMA02 Outline the similarities and differences between Milgrams (1963) obedience study and Burgers (2009) replication. This essay will look at an important key psychological experiment carried out by the renowned social psychologist Stanley Milgram which was carried out in the early 1960’s (Banyard 2012) to determine how far ordinary people would go to inflict pain to a fellow human based on instruction from an authority figure, and that of the replication of the experiment which was carried out by Burger in 2009 (Byford 2014) to determine if the same level of obedience was still applicable in the 21st Century, as was observed in the original study some 40 years earlier. The essay will look at some of the key similarities and differences between the two studies. For the purpose of this essay only the base studies will be discussed. Milgram’s motivation to study this trait in human behaviour came from the atrocities that took place during WW2, and the trial of Adolph Eichmann who in his defence said he was ‘simply following orders’ (Banyard 2012) to carry out the mass murders. Milgram asked himself ‘how can ordinary people who are courteous and descent in everyday life act callously, inhumanely without limitations of conscience?’ Milgram on Milgram (part 1): Obedience experiments (The Open University, 2014) Milgram devised his obedience study. He developed a laboratory based experiment to determine how far a participant...
