Lawyers and the Proceeds of Crime
The role played by legal professionals in the laundering of criminal proceeds generated by others has become a priority concern for authorities at national and international levels. This ground-breaking book presents an in-depth empirical analysis of the nature of lawyers' involvement in the facilitation of money laundering and its control through criminal justice and regulatory mechanisms. It is based on qualitative research combining analysis of cases of lawyers convicted of money laundering offences with interviews with criminal justice practitioners, members of professional and regulatory bodies and practising solicitors, and analysis of relevant national and international legislative and regulatory frameworks.The book demonstrates the complex and diverse nature of lawyers' involvement in laundering activity, and shows that their actions and the decisions they take must be understood in relation to the specific situational contexts in which they occur. It provides significant new insights into the criminal justice and regulatory response to professional facilitation of money laundering in the UK, raising questions about the effectiveness and appropriateness of the response and the challenges involved. The book develops a framework for future research and analysis in this area, and proposes a range of potential strategies for controlling the facilitation of money laundering.Lawyers and the Proceeds of Crime is essential reading for those researching money laundering, white-collar crime or organised crime, and for practitioners and policy makers concerned with preventing the facilitation of money laundering.

Welcoming the New Revenue Recognition Standard
The New Revenue Recognition Standard is a joint bold move made by both the FASB and the IASB to give top-lines of companies, across industries, a common denominator. It is a move from the fair value measure of vendor-specific objective evidence ('VSOE') to measure revenue, to one which takes into account what consideration the entity really expects to be entitled to receive from a contract with a 'customer'. The new standard broadens the definition of revenue to include newer concepts like contract costs incurred for transferring a good/ service, material rights and gain and loss from the sale of non-financial assets. There is specific guidance around contract combinations and contract modifications. 'Transfer of control to a customer' is the axis of the new revenue recognition standard. As control usually transfers before risks and rewards usually do, entities may witness an acceleration in revenue recognition. Collaborative arrangements have come under the scanner as the collaborator may be acting as a 'customer'. ASU 2018-18 issued in November 2018 removes the bias that amidst a risk and benefits sharing atmosphere of a collaborative arrangement, control of an output of an ordinary activity of one collaborator could be transferred to another collaborator for a consideration. Distinct goods/ services are now determined based on whether they are both individually distinct and are distinct within the context of the contract. Individually distinct goods/ services are now determined based on the characteristics of the goods or services themselves, instead of the way in which the customer may use the goods or services. VSOE rules are past tense and a good/ service may be distinct even if VSOE could not be established earlier. This may lead an increase or decrease in performance obligations, leading to difference in timing of revenue recognition. Increased judgement is needed for demarcating between a sale/ lease/ financing, in estimating variable consideration after applying constraints and in the capitalization and amortization of contract costs-especially in case of a principal versus agent situation. More disclosures are required. Provision for loss on contracts may apply to entities as ASC 606 amends ASC 605 for those paragraphs instead of superseding them. The position under IFRS is different as with the superseding of IAS 11 Construction contracts, the non-onerous provision for loss on construction contracts has been done away with. ASU 2017-01 and ASU 2017-05 narrowing the definition of 'business' and defining an 'In Substance Nonfinancial asset', respectively, impact the new revenue recognition standard from the point of view of a sale of non-financial assets to a customer- where the interest in an entity does not fall under the new definition of business but within the definition of essentially a non-financial asset. IFRS 3 has also been amended for a new definition of business and that does bring US GAAP and IFRS closer. The new standard interacts with the new leases standard and there may be a pit stop at ASC 606 before an entity transitions to the new leases standard. This book brings you the impacts from an exotic mix of industries as varied as aerospace and defense, engineering, media and entertainment, airlines, pharmaceuticals, health care, early-stage life sciences, software, construction and real estate, retail and e-commerce, hospitality, telecommunications, shipping, automotive, outsourcing and investment companies and promises deep learning. The new revenue recognition standard affects more than just revenue and impacts the business processes and results in dual SOX testing during the transition phase. With all the shuffling around the timing of payments being linked to the satisfaction of performance obligations, managements should properly assess their normal operating cycles and working capital. With sufficient discussions and training, all managements will be able to do the 'heavy lifting'.

Capital Structure and Firm Performance. Evidence from Japan Nikkei 225
Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,3, University of Greenwich, language: English, abstract: This study investigates what kind of impact different leverage ratios have on firm performance measurements Return on Assets, Return on Equity and Tobin's Q in selected firms listed on Nikkei 225 stock market (excluding Finance & Technology Sector). Furthermore, the influence of sector specific and possible control variables on capital structure (using long- & short-debt ratios) as well as firm performance will be analysed. The sample derive from 165 firms during the time period from 2014 to 2019 and analysed by using various Models multiple regression analysis. Control variables Size and Growth show a clear positive effect on firm performance. In contrast, Tangibility has a negative impact on the model in which all companies are included, but has more positive coefficients in the model in which companies are divided into their industries. Additionally, this study suggests that the effect of leverage on firm performance differs among industries.

Die Verwirklichung Einer Korrespondierenden Besteuerung Im Deutschen Steuerrecht
Seit den letzten Jahren werden zunehmend Vorschriften geschaffen, welche die steuerliche Entlastung eines Steuerpflichtigen davon abh瓣ngig machen, wie der zugrunde liegende Sachverhalt im Ausland behandelt wird. Damit soll eine grenz羹berschreitend unerw羹nschte Nicht- oder Niedrigbesteuerung korrigiert werden. Eine systematische Untersuchung dieser Korrespondenzregeln fehlt allerdings bislang. Bei n瓣herer Betrachtung existiert nicht einmal ein gemeinsames Verst瓣ndnis des Korrespondenzbegriffs. Die Arbeit leitet daher unter einer fundierten Auseinandersetzung mit dem Schrifttum erstmals eine generelle und abstrakte Definition des steuerlichen Korrespondenzbegriffs her und unterwirft die f羹r eine korrespondierende Besteuerung vorgesehenen Vorschriften des deutschen Ertragsteuerrechts einem einheitlichen Analyserahmen. In dieser Detailbetrachtung werden zahlreiche Zweifelsfragen kompakt diskutiert und mit nachvollziehbaren Argumenten gel繹st. Der einheitliche Aufbau zeigt dar羹ber hinaus erhebliche Unterschiede in den verschiedenen Vorschriften auf. Im Anschluss werden deshalb allgemeine Ma?st瓣be f羹r die Ausgestaltung korrespondierender Besteuerungstatbest瓣nde und M繹glichkeiten f羹r eine Vereinheitlichung sowie Weiterentwicklung der bestehenden Korrespondenzvorschriften dargestellt.

Economic Growth In a Highly Constrained Environment.
This book contains a series of articles putting forward original suggestions of how to achieve economic growth in an extremely constrained environment. Economic growth is becoming the most viable method of resolving rising national debt issues. The existing methods of reducing the increasing private and public sector debts have become limited as a result of market forces and political pressure. Outgrowing debt is favourable compared to cuts in consumption and government spending. New techniques to enable greater economic growth are provided including Expanding Governmental Commerce, Internationally Commercialised Innovation, Taxation Efficiencies, Supplementary Income and Alterations in Pension Saving Payment Allowances. The book offers a fresh approach to macroeconomic policy, which will help to stimulate growth and enable new business operations. The new economic tools devised will give politicians alternative options to avoid implementing hard hitting policies.

Fundar uma empresa de avia癟瓊o que revolucionou e democratizou asviagens a矇reas no Brasil parece um fato formid獺vel, certo?
