Tremendous improvements in information networking capabilities have brought with them increased security risks resulting from the deterioration of the ability of a physical layer of computer security to protect an organization's information system. As a result, audit committees have had to deal with new security issues as well as the need to understand the cyber perpetrator and ensure the proper training of employees to consider cybersecurity risks. Standard setters including the Institute of Internal Auditors and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants have issued guidance about lines of defense and reporting on an entity's cybersecurity risk management program and controls, respectively. Each of these topics is considered along with how cybersecurity guidance from COBIT, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the Center for Internet Security can be mapped into five cyber infrastructure domains to provide an approach to evaluate a system of cybersecurity.

To clarify thinking on the subject, the 1955 convention of the American Association of Workers for the Blind will devote time and discussion to various considerations in government provision of financial assistance to blind citizens. In anticipation, it seems appropriate to present here at least parts of the contents of two papers on the general subject that were presented last summer at the General Assembly of the World Council for the Welfare of the Blind in Paris, by Capt. M. C. Robinson and H. A. Wood, respectively. Incorporated herein also are pertinent resolutions adopted by the World Council and the Board of Directors of the American Association of Workers for the Blind. The World Council resolution (No. 8) consists of two paragraphs, each of which was originally adopted separately and which were subsequently combined as they appear here. The first paragraph is substantially the same as Resolution V of the International Conference of Workers for the Blind, held at Merton College, Oxford, in 1949; it is quoted in part also in the introductory sentences of Mr. Wood's paper below. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the AAWB subsequent to the 1954 Paris meeting of the World Council, the Board's attitude toward that resolution (No. 8) is reported to have been discussed. After consideration, the Board is reported to have determined that any formal statement of policy could only be made by mandate of the Association membership except that reaffirmation of previously adopted policy could be made. This is what was done in the action quoted herein. The papers prepared for the Paris meeting were, of course, directed toward the international audience comprising the World Council and should be read with that fact in mind. Capt. Robinson is national director of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, for Western Canada, and president of the AAWB (1953–55); Mr. Wood is executive secretary of the North Carolina State Commission for the Blind.—Editor.

With the current issue, we welcome a new editorial policy for the Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology. We are proud of our history and would like to thank all past editors and members of the scientific committee who have made an effort in maintaining the journal, which to date has published contributions of some of the most important psychologists of the Americas and the world. It is our hope we will build upon those contributions that have been in the making for more than half a century with the new phase we begin today. We are honored that the selection committee and the board of directors of the Interamerican Psychological Society have entrusted us with this new editorial vision.

This issue includes papers that embrace major challenges for the board of directors A long line of research documents the crucial role that the board of directors plays in the reduction of agency costs. This issue of the journal goes further to explore a variety of environments, ranging from a highly developed economy, i.e., the United States, to a less developed economy, i.e., Greece and even developing ones, i.e., Saudi Arabian and Ghana. The results documented by the papers from this issue reflect the specificities of the environment in which companies are operating. Moreover, the channels through which the board of directors affects agency costs remain very little documented. Papers that are published in this issue shed new light on this topic by showing that boards might improve firm performance by enhancing corporate governance quality and developing informal communication within the firm.

This chapter discusses the compliance function, a form of internalized law enforcement employed by corporations and other complex organizations to ensure that employees and others associated with the firm do not violate applicable rules, regulations or norms. It first examines compliance within a general theory of enforcement. It considers the concept of internal control, the development of the compliance function and its distribution among control personnel, and compliance programs, policies, and contracts within an organization. It then analyzes the oversight obligations of the board of directors and the management team including the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the chief compliance officer, the chief legal officer, and the chief risk officer. It also outlines the elements of a robust compliance program and concludes by considering internal investigations, whistleblowers, criminal enforcement, compliance outside the firm, and business ethics beyond formal compliance.

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the best practices and the financial performance among 86 manufacturing small and medium enterprises in Cameroon. To achieve this objective, we will carry out a Multivariate Analysis; and the results based on correlation analysis highlight a positive and significant impact of risk culture on financial performance of these enterprises and also show that the independence of the board of directors by itself is not sufficient to increase the firm’s performance.

The voting scenario is rich and complex: democratic institutions typically call several kinds of elections, which often have different requirements in terms of costs and needed resources, and are exposed to different security risks. Some electoral events could target relatively small sets of voters, sparsely distributed across the country or even in the world: a typical example is the election for renewing the board of directors of an association or research center. On the other hand, Government or public-office elections typically involve a great number of voters who, in most part, are localized within a country or a regional area. As a consequence, the design, development and deployment of electronic voting systems suitable to accommodate the wide range of conflicting requirements emerging from such different voting scenarios is still a challenging issue. This chapter presents u-Vote, a solution which is able to operate in different deployment settings, so as to accommodate the peculiarities characterizing different voting scenarios, while striving to provide the best possible balance between security measures and convenience for voters.
