This paper looks at the proposal by the Federal Government to introduce a new regime for the taxation of financial arrangements. Such a change has been on the Government's agenda for some time. In 1993, an initial proposal was put forward, but serious concerns were raised by the business community. The Government's proposal re-surfaced in December 1996 with some modifications to address the concerns raised to the initial proposal but in the writer's view, these modifications do not satisfactorily address the concerns.The proposals basically seek to tax accrued and unrealised gains on financial arrangements such as foreign exchange loans and derivatives, including commodity derivatives. For instance, if a company has a foreign exchange loan, any unrealised foreign exchange gains at year end would need to be recognised for tax purposes, even though they may never be realised because of subsequent fluctuations in exchange rates.To address the concern that unrealised gains may never be realised, the ATO has put forward a proposal that if the foreign exchange or other transaction is a hedge against changes in value of an underlying transaction, unrealised gains do not need to be recognised for tax purposes until the underlying transaction is realised. For instance, if a company borrows in US dollars because its future revenue stream is in US dollars, unrealised foreign exchange gains would not need to be recognised until the revenue is derived.However, there is a major flaw in these hedging rules. If the hedging transaction is rolled over, any gain at the time of rollover needs to be recognised, even though the revenue that is being hedged has not been realised. Debt instruments and derivatives are often rolled over as part of the financial management of a large resource company and therefore, the new proposals in their current form would cause serious problems in that financial management.

Globalization, in its current form, represents a new dynamic complex, especially when it comes to its implications for the economy and business of economic entities. It manifests its implications not only through competition, but also through economic growth and development. A modern company should provide adequate management that is able to create and develop comparative advantages that will enable it to be actively involved in global market flows. Global changes have conditioned a new way of doing business, and thus a significant turn in the approach to financial management. This has led to changes in the basic economic settings and criteria for successful management and business. The financial position of a company is one of the indicators of the company's success to function in a global and turbulent market environment. Starting from this fact, a practical treatment of this problem and analytical indicators of the financial position of the three dependent production companies operating within the MH Elektroprivreda Republike Srpske will be done. The aim of the research is to show the extent to which the management of these companies has accepted the requirements of global economic processes and adapted their business to them. That is, whether financial management provides a satisfactory level of liquidity and financial stability of these three companies.

Introduction. The article examines the features of holding general meetings of members in non-public business companies, in particular questions about the place of decisions of general meeting in the system of legal facts, their relationship with the deal and the contract. The ability to use digital technology in decision making. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The article is based on an analysis of the norms of positive law, primarily the Civil Code and the Laws on Company Business. Results. The authors conclude that the starting point in the activities of a non-public business company is the acquisition and exercise of their civil rights and the fulfilment of duties, and not a legal relationship that includes civil rights and civil duties as a necessary element. In addition, the decision of a general meeting, despite having many features in common, is not a deal. The decision of a general meeting, acting as an act of individual regulation, is in fact an act of a legal entity, and not a decision of the business community. The authors proposed a classification of decisions of meetings of business entities, depending on the method of their adoption, the possibilities being: the unanimously adoption by all participants of the company; decisions of the meeting of members of a company being adopted by a majority, or a qualified majority, of votes; decisions of the meeting of members of a company to change its charter, reorganization and liquidation of the company, requiring state registration in the unified state register of legal entities. The decision of a general meeting can be made either in person or in absentia, or a combination of the two. The decision of the meeting adopted in absentia will be valid, despite the absence of any special document establishing the procedure for its adoption. Discussion and Conclusion. Decisions of general meetings are actions of participants in a business company concerning legal consequences, including civil rights and obligations, in cases specified by law, and binding on all persons entitled to participate in the meeting, as well as other persons, whether required by law or having some other involvement.

Decisive fiscal squeeze might surprise observers of the German political system, insofar as party political dynamics, welfare state complexity, and intergovernmental financial arrangements are commonly said to inhibit decisive reforms. This chapter traces the fiscal squeeze carried out in post-unification Germany in the 1990s and 2000s and highlights how the politics of fiscal squeeze had damaging political consequences for the Social Democratic Party. Squeeze at the federal government level was largely about ‘natural wastage’ in staff numbers and targeted cutbacks. The welfare state witnessed considerable reform as a result of cumulating pressures resulting from unification, triggering significant political consequences. Finally, squeezing at the level of the intergovernmental fiscal transfers reflected attempts to contain fiscal pressures on local governments, and wider pressures within the system of German federalism, leading to the creation of a constitutional ‘debt brake’ on public budgets.


Subject Outlook for the aviation sector. Significance The federal government faces growing pressure to bail out the aviation industry, which is at risk of imminent collapse due to scarce foreign exchange (forex), rising fuel costs and cooling passenger demand. This would be Abuja's second bailout of the industry -- the first was in 2010 -- indicating longstanding structural, managerial and safety problems in the industry. Impacts Demand for airline tickets to northeastern cities will remain low due to concerns over continuing instability there. Well-managed carriers such as Rwandair will capture pan-African market share from carriers with governance woes, eg Arik Air. Infrastructure improvements at Ivory Coast's main airport will help it become a rival aviation hub for business travellers.

The importance of the actor benefit in the eighteenth-century London theatre is manifest. An actor's benefit was a key part of his or her contract, and the income it produced was a crucial supplement to the performer's ordinary salary. A benefit for a single performer could easily yield more than £50 (after expenses) early in the century – a. sum which might double the annual income of a second or third rank member of a company. The long string of benefits at both Drury Lane and Lincoln's Inn.Fields each spring soon after 1700 (visible as soon as daily newspaper advertisements become customary) often total twenty or more at each house, and the actor benefit was to remain a basic feature of financial arrangements in London theatres throughout the eighteenth century.
