Will You Add? - Corporate Governance and Accounting Standards in Oman: An Empirical Study on Practices
Unfortunately, while the down-turn in the economy in the United States has been an unwelcome event, there are numerous great deals one can find with used wire EDM sales on machines including the Elox-Fanuc, Japax, and Mitsubishi as well as numerous other brands.First, before looking into used wire EDM sales and investing such a large amount of capital into any tool, one must verify the integrity and reputation of the business. In the same vein of “Buyer beware,” one must be sure that the company with which he or she is doing business is very reputable. While one is verifying the business, it is sound business advice to determine what product you will be manufacturing, how many you need to produce on a daily and monthly basis, what size capacity of tank will you need, and how detailed a cut will be required. Different machines have different allowable axis paths that the wires can travel. Certainly you don’t want to purchase a wire EDM machine that is large enough to produce jet engine parts if all you are making are products the size of a small wallet or vice versa.Once you have determined the capacity of the wire EDM machine and verified the integrity of the retailer, begin looking at wire EDM machines that will meet your specifications and that will fit into the allowable budget. Prices for the same piece of equipment will greatly vary depending upon age, upkeep, looks, etc. Be sure to check the maintenance records of any wire EDM machine you are considering as well as finding out when it was last serviced. That includes when the wires were last replaced. Many times the cost of having to replace the wires shortly after purchase can sour a business relationship or prove to be cost prohibitive for the new owner. Therefore, strive to purchase a wire EDM machine that has had the wires replaced recently. You will certainly experience a better Return on Investment if you do.For businesses with less spending capital, used wire EDM sales is certainly the way to go. It requires much more initial footwork in determining the quality of the used machine; however, if the company is re

After years of running various small businesses I have finally come to conclude that people are bad for your profits! What made me arrive at this conclusion? Well obviously it’s a very broad statement & people are not always bad for profits. Of course they are not, as many businesses make all their money by selling to the end consumer. But I believe there are better ways for people looking to set up a small profitable business than dealing direct with customers to make their money.When considering about 50% of small businesses fail within the first year you need to make your business as smooth & efficient as possible. Especially if there are only a few employees or you are the only employee.This is where people are bad for your profits. Dealing directly with the customer in order to close a sale & then thereafter support the customer if/when any future issues arise will be a major drain on your very limited resources. How much time can you really afford to spend on each customer to make X amount of profit? Do you really have the resource to be able to provide the after sales service as well, which will enhance your reputation in the community & hopefully earn you more sales? If you don’t provide a good after sales service you will soon get a bad reputation & your business will fail before it has even begun! I believe this is the mistake many people make when setting up their small business, the reality of the time required to deal with customers directly and still make a profit.People are all different as are their requirements. This is the variable that makes it hard to automate any business where you have to deal directly with the customer. I believe that letting the companies already geared up with all the logistics of dealing direct with customers is the key in setting up a profitable new business with minimum overheads.The key to making money in business is how can you serve more people & in turn generate more money? But after what I have just talked about we want to serve more people without draining company resources. Well if you are looking to set u
In recent years, the Oman economy has undergone a number of reforms, resulting in a more market-oriented economy. Particularly, the financial impetus extended by the Sultanate of Oman had signaled the beginning of a positive trend. The size of Oman industry is becoming much bigger and the expectations of various concerned parties are also increasing, which can be satisfied only by good Corporate Governance.
The importance of good Corporate Governance has also been increasingly recognized by the industry for improving the firms’ competitiveness, better corporate performance and better relationship with all stakeholders(1). In oman also the industries have obliged to reform their principles of Governance, for which, Oman companies will now be required to make more and more elaborate disclosures than have been making hitherto. This necessiates to adhere to the uniform and proper accounting standards, as the standards reduce discretion, discrepancy and enhances not only the degree of transparency in sharing of information with the parties concerned but also reinforces the broader role the directors need to play for achieving Corporate objectives in the midst of challenges and adversities.
Here, the Corporate Governance is a voluntary, ethical code of business concerned with the morals, ethics, values, parameters, conduct and behavior of the company and its management. The corporate responsibility begins with the directors who are the mind and soul of a firm.
The Board is expected to act as conscience-keeper of the corporate vision and mission, and devise the right type of systems for organizational effectiveness and satisfaction of stakeholders. Thus, the Corporate Governance is a system of accountability primarily directed towards the shareholders in addition to maximizing the shareholders’ welfare(2), where the debate on disclosure/ transparency issues of Corporate Governance eventually centres around the proper accounting standards and their practices and issues, as the application of accounting standards give a lot of confidence to the corporate management and make the disclosure more effective and ensure the good Corporate Governance to promote a healthy investment climate.

One of the most confusing things to medical billing personnel is rental modifiers. Most billers don't even know what a modifier is unless they have at least had some experience with rental billing. Hopefully, after reading this installment, you'll have a decent idea of what modifiers are, how they work and what you have to be aware of when doing your medical billing duties.Rental items are a strange breed in the world of medical billing. Unlike a purchase item that is sold and then that's the end of it, a rental item is kind of like the gift that keeps on giving. It is a medical billing agencies main source of income, especially if they do a lot of oxygen billing which requires patients to have an oxygen concentrator for many months if not years.Because of this, insurance carriers need to know, every step along the way, just how long a piece of equipment has been rented. Why? Well, this has to do with certain regulations. See, once an item has been rented so many months, usually 12, it then goes on what is called maintenance billing. Maintenance billing is usually cheaper than regular billing because by the time the 12 months have passed, the supplier of the equipment has already gotten their due profit from the item and because of this, the insurance company begins to pay less starting with month 13. What does all this have to do with modifiers?From months one through 12, the modifier for the particular rental item will be one set of letters, usually beginning with the letter K. When month number 12 hits, the item is then transferred to a different status called maintenance. While this is happening, the modifier that is stored with the item is changed from a K modifier to something else, again, depending on the item. When the insurance company sees this modifier come over on month 13, they know the item is on maintenance and now pay a different allowable for it. Usually, when this happens, the item also stops billing monthly. Depending on what it is, it may bill every six months or even every year.The thing that most medical billing personnel don't und

The fundamentals of real estate marketing Before we go into the best practices of a personal marketing program, it would be a good idea to touch on the key elements that make up such a program. Call it "Personal Marketing in a Nutshell."Marketing is more than just blasting the neighborhoods with your farming pieces. It's about how you present yourself (and how your company presents itself) to prospects and customers. Effective personal marketing combines elements of direct marketing, public relations and education. It is the sum of all your informational parts.In this article, we'll be dissecting the direct marketing piece of the pie. Specifically, we will examine personal marketing mistakes and how to avoid them.Where do real estate marketers go wrong? First off, they put a greater emphasis on technology than they put on the message that technology is designed to delivery. They also ignore the fundamentals of persuasive writing.Why?Because it's quick and easy to use a boilerplate message (that's been used 50,000 times before) and simply change the contact info.Because of the herd mentality.Because it's easier to imitate than to create.Because "I've seen other agents do it ... so it must work."The field is primed for a leader As far as marketing goes, the real estate industry is primed for a breakout leader. The vast majority of real estate professionals go about their personal marketing, recruiting and general communications all wrong.Imagine how could capitalize... Picture this. You're a homeowner in a bustling real estate market. You get 15 direct-mail pieces from real estate agents every week.Fourteen of those postcards say the same thing, obviously borrowed from some stock message database somewhere. They use worn-out phrases and talk about “superior service” ... “the utmost commitment” ... and the classic “no-obligation consultation.”But the last card — the one out of 15 that tried something different — leaps out at y

Have you recently started a home based business, and are finding it hard to build it up to the level you expect it to be at? If this sounds like you then let me be the first to lend you a helping hand, and teach you a few good tactics you can use to help grow your online business day by day.Growing your business one person at a time will take awhile, and it will take some effort and work on your part. However there are a few things you can do to speed this time consuming process up a good amount, and that mainly has to do with using the correct advertising.One of the best ways I find that will help you grow your business very fast is by making your self available to speak with. A lot of people do not really like to talk in e-mails; they would rather speak with a real live person over the phone. Now this can be time consuming, but it will greatly increase how many people join your online business. By talking to people over the phone you can help reinsure them and help build up their trust in your business.Another very affective way that I find works very well is free marketing. If you tell someone you will give them a few free gifts for joining your business this will help increase the amount of people who will join. Every body likes to receive free gifts.You might want to try and tell them something like. If you join our online business by midnight tonight we will also include three free gifts. That sentence will help draw people into signing up and joining your business, and you should see a very good increase in just a matter of a few days.Also a very powerful method to use when you wish to grow your business is e-mail ads, and following up with people. I am sure you all heard that the money is in the follow up and in the list. That is absolutely true. You should always try to have people fill out some type of list or form, and have them opt into your opportunity. This way you can always follow up with them, and keep reminding them about updates or give aways you might offer if they join.These are some of the most affective ways to not o

There was a lot news on the Bankruptcy of Consolidated Freight, which rocked the transportation industry, but what most failed to realize is that CF was founded in 1929 and this nation lost a great company.http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/85350_consolidated03.shtmlOne of their largest customers was The Boeing Company. With Consolidated Freights help we were able to move logistics around the country so we could out produce and deliver our industrial might to the Germans in WWII. Despite the immense volume of logistics CF provided for America they had an incredible safety record un paralleled in the industry and could even hold a candle to the Wal-Mart logistics teams. One of the best safety records in the nation;http://www.cfwy.com/about/news/2002/02July22.html .Anyone in the Transportation Industry or who reads Commercial Carrier Journal or Transport topics understands that they too were leading edge on many issues, like B2B, Same day, expedited services and routing plans including trains, planes, ships and trucking and god only knows what else in the future had they still been in business? Leading the industry in high technology for logistics as well.In business since 1929, 15,500 laid off effective immediately after their bankruptcy, a Delaware Corp. with HQ in Vancouver WA, which as of this year is the highest unemployment in the country. Think about it a company formed in 1929 after the depression made it through the war only to be caught up in this latest cycle of terror, high fuel prices and sluggish recession, this was a bad day for all of America. It is the heart of this country. But such a large company like CF has its tentacles in all sorts of other vendor operations, for instance they were the Third largest buyer of Freightliner Trucks in the World. JB Hunt recently passed them with a 1 billion dollar purchase in 1999.http://www.freightliner.com/corporate/history.aspThe two companies have a long history. Consolidated Freightways Manufacturing Division eventually became Freightliner. This folks is the backbone of America. Freigh
Thus, the study of practices of accounting standards is an important and relevant issue of good Corporate Governance in the present environment, as the standards are viewed as a technical response to call for better financial accounting and reporting; or as a reflection of a society’s changing expectations of corporate behavior and a vehicle in social and political monitoring and control of the enterprise(3).
STUDY:
The old ways of selective and conservative reporting is yielding place to more transparent and voluntary disclosures, in tune with the changing times. There is no alternative to adopting by the corporate entities of new standards of accountability, where the accountability is largely a matter of disclosure, of transparency, of explaining a company’s activities to those to whom the company has responsibilities(4) i.e. the disclosure in simple, understandable and comparable form, forms clearly the basis for accountability, which can be provided only if companies adopt uniform accounting policies and disclose adequate information about the accounting standards followed. Thus, accounting standards ensure the comprehensive disclosure of the corporate's accountability, which may be regarded as a prime issue and a pre requisite for good Corporate Governance.
An examination of practices of accounting standards, and their issues in Oman industry may help to understand the existing practices of accounting standards, which in turn help in designing the effective standard practices so as to ensure good Corporate Governance leading to a healthy investment environment.
In this context, an attempt is made here to examine the accounting standards and their practices in Oman, with a view to strengthen the accounting standards and improve their practices for good Corporate Governance. The data for the study are obtained from the annual reports (published during 2001-’02) of ten Omani companies of different nature, selected from the top companies in terms of assets. The sample consisted of 6 private and 4 public companies. The simple per centage method is used to analyze the data. The authentic
