How Ifrs Defines A Contingent Liability And Provide An...
Introduction
For decades, countries have designed their individual accounting standards principle–based, rules–
based, tax–oriented, or business–oriented. Globalization has led to the greater needs with regards to
harmonizing the standards (Kimmel, 2013). By late 1990's the dominant standards were the IFRS
(International Financial Reporting Standards) and U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles). Thus, both the standard setters namely; FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board)
and IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) launched a convergence project prior to the
IFRS being essentially adopted by several countries. Measures are being taken to reduce likely
impacts the frameworks would have on financial statement and reduction of last minute changes
(Kimmel, 2013).
IFRS 10–2: Explain how IFRS defines a contingent liability and provide an example.
It refers to a likely obligation a company may incur mostly depending the outcome or results of a
future event (Shamrock, 2012). Additionally, the outcome of a present situation is considered to be
uncertain which is anticipated to be tackled by a future event. It is recorded in the books of account
if the contingency is likely and the extent of liability can be projected. Product warranties and
outstanding liabilities are common examples (Kimmel, 2013). If instance, if a company is sued for
infringement and the damages payable is $55 million and expects to lose the case, the amount is
recorded in the balance

Many people believe that UFC fighters have to the brain to think and be smart about choices. People
are mistaken even after submitting all the training , society won't let the UFC fighters live in peace
until they get they prove they are smart . In fact, UFC fighters face a lot of interference from society
and keep on coming with revisions to satisfy the people. It's true that internet has bulk of tutorials on
how to fight. Knowing a little of training or basic techniques of fighting can never make someone a
professional UFC fighter . People need to have a proper degree, research, experience and know
some weak points.UFC fighters are looked up as dumb people who don't know anything , so many
people thinks that there are no specific training hours working and deadlines to be met. Some UFC
fighters think that no fight can be won until being fought by its particular rules. So, stop thinking of
UFC fighters are dumb and realise how hard they work to get people's attention . When UFC

Case Study: Boston Shamrocks Sled Hockey
I found a sled hockey team called the Boston Shamrocks. This a a nonprofit group because in it's
description it clearly states that it's a free program for both the experienced and novice sled hockey
player. It also meets the definition of nonprofit because it is for the relief of the underprivileged.
Sled hockey is essentially the same as NHL hockey that you see on tv, but the major difference is
that players use two sticks. This version of ice hockey is played primarily by people with lower limb
mobility impairments and athletes are often either male or female, ages range from 15–60.
2. Provide some quantitative data that suggests this a "nonprofit" league. For example, how many
teams or players/members does the league have? How many volunteers? How does it raise money?
Who are its largest sponsors? What is the application fee to join the league? How much do athletes
or coaches get paid?
Northeast Sled Hockey is dependent on the generosity of donors and sponsors. The league does not
pay salaries, but it does have expenses like ice time, referees, and scorekeepers. The league has two
divisions, an adult division A and an adult division B. The league also has twelve board of directors

Analysis Of Money, Money Everywhere
This essay analyzes the themes and messages represented in the image titled as
"Money, Money Everywhere", taken on March 10, 1960 in California, United States. The theme
represented in the photograph is "Emerald Elegance", chosen by the members of the Valley
Panhellenic, for their Tuesday fashion show benefit scheduled at Sportsmen's Lodge. The black and
white image indicates a certain era, to which the image belongs to, providing us with insight into life
in 1960s. The photograph displays women, wearing green outfits whilst tying money on table
centerpieces for St. Patrick's Day; from left, Mmes. William L. Davis III, Raymond Prichnow Jr. and
Malvin A. Walden. St. Patrick's Day is a widely popular cultural and religious holiday celebrated in
the United States. The holiday celebrates the Irish and Irish–American culture. The celebration
involves numerous parades, Irish theme parties, music, dancing, eating and drinking. This
photograph reveals the women's enthusiasm towards celebrating Irish or Irish–American culture. It
also shows the effort the women are putting into decorating for St. Patrick's Day. This is shown by
the way the three women are smiling, chatting and happily decorating table center pieces with
money. Moreover, the usage of money for decorating table center pieces exhibits the use of money
as a commodity as well as the power it holds in our everyday lives. Eventually, more money brings

know as drama is a profession of acting,producing,directing,and the writing of plays. It is also a
presentation that is presented in a very dramatic way. One of the main parts that make up a theatre is

Government Surveillance During The Modern Era
Big Brother Every day, nearly every single person communicates with each other electronically

all of this communication, there is a lot of very personal information is revealed without thinking
about whether or not there can or will be an impact of doing this. In June of 2013, the impact
became apparent when Edward Snowden, a former CIA employee, became a whistleblower and
revealed mass surveillance programs happening in the United States and other countries where the
communications of all citizens, and all the data therein, are being recorded and collected at all times
(Snowden). While some have been suspecting that this has been happening for years, this is the first
time that concrete evidence has been revealed to prove that government surveillance occurs in the
modern era. This revelation no doubt was controversial with many citizens feeling many different
ways about it. The popular street artist Banksy decided to do a piece about government surveillance
where there are three men with various recording equipment surrounding a phone booth and

St. Patrick Research Paper
St. Patrick of Ireland is one of the world's most popular saints. He was born in Roman Britain and
when he was fourteen or so, he was captured by Irish pirates during a raiding party and taken to
Ireland as a slave to herd and tend sheep. At the time, Ireland was a land of Druids and pagans but
Patrick turned to God and wrote his memoir, The Confession. In The Confession, he wrote: "The
love of God and his fear grew in me more and more, as did the faith, and my soul was roused, so
that, in a single day, I have said as many as a hundred prayers and in the night, nearly the same. I
prayed in the woods and on the mountain, even before dawn. I felt no hurt from the snow or ice or

He worked many miracles and wrote of his love for God in Confessions. After years of living in
poverty, traveling and enduring much suffering he died March 17, 461. He died in Saul, where he
had built the first Irish church. He is believed to be buried in Down Cathedral, Down Patrick. His
grave was marked in 1990 with a granite stone. In His Footsteps: Patrick was a humble, pious,
gentle man, whose love and total devotion to and trust in God should be a shining example to each
of us. So complete was his trust in God, and of the importance of his mission, he feared nothing –not
even death. "The Breastplate," Patrick's poem of faith and trust in God: "Christ be within me, Christ
behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ inquired, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that
love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger." Legend credits St. Patrick with teaching the Irish
about the doctrine of the Holy Trinity by showing people the shamrock, a three–leafed plant, using it

tasks and responsibilities" the managers of the organisations have no control over their employees.
David Guest (1987) model focuses on HRM practices "strategic integration, quality, flexibility and

The Brotherhood : The Aryan Brotherhood Essay
One of the most infamous prison gangs is the Aryan Brotherhood. Few details about their earliest
days are known, but they quickly became known and feared by the 1970s. They are ruthless,
dangerous, and brutal. Founded during the civil rights movement, white supremacist inmates at the
San Quentin prison created a gang of their own for protection. Over time, as their power grew, so
did their criminal activity. Also known as The Brand, they are among six major prison gangs that are
recognized nationally for their participation in organized crime and violence. Like African American
and Latino groups, the Aryan Brotherhood is linked to street crime and has drawn the attention of
federal prosecutors. As law enforcement continues to take down leaders of the gang across the
country, the Aryan Brotherhood will continue committing crimes, in and out of prison.
Among several of the most dangerous prison gangs, one in particular stands out compared to the
rest; the Aryan Brotherhood. The Aryan Brotherhood may not be as well known as other prison
gangs, such as the Black Guerrilla Family, the Mexican Mafia, or La Nuestra Familia, but their

10 Things You Did Not Know About St. Patrick's Day
St. Patrick's Day is a day where we celebrate the Irish heritage and it is often known as the day when
non–Irish people are "Irish for a day". For a lot of people it is an excuse to have a good time and
dress up in green clothes, drink green beer and drinks or dress up like a full–fledged leprechaun.
Most people do not know the true meaning of the day nor why more exactly it is celebrated. Here

March 17th – The death day of Patrick

Patrick's Day has a strong political history
In the middle of the 19th century the Irish suffered from discrimination much like that of the African
Americans. In some cases the prejudice against the Irish was fiercer even. The Irish immigrated in
great numbers to the US and due to their culture, Catholic faith and the poor conditions in Ireland
they were considered to be potentially disloyal and were thus treated very poorly. As a way to battle
this they began organizing themselves politically and by the end of the 19th century St. Patrick's
Day was a grand holiday for the Irish as well as a day for them to demonstrate their political and
social might. The political purpose of the holiday faded along with the discrimination but to this day
the holiday remains as a day full of festivities for everyone regardless of one's cultural background.
Up until 1970 St Patrick's Day was a sober holiday in Ireland
The colour green and drinking are two to things most associated with St. Patrick's Day however due
to Irish law all the pubs were shut during that day. That meant neither beer nor alcohol of any kind
for the celebrants. The law was changed in 1970 when it was reclassified as a national holiday with

Shamrocks with 4 leaves symbolize luck. Many people believe that their are leprechauns that have

Profit Maximisation
In this essay I have been asked to carry out basic research for Shamrock Components Plc by using
theories I will assess the factors that would influence the decision of the senior managers and
whether they should join the joint venture or not.
Profit maximisation
Profit maximisation is the process by which a firm determines the price and output level that returns
the greatest profit. There are several approaches to this problem. The total revenue – total cost
method relies on the fact that profit equals revenue minus cost, and the marginal revenue – marginal
cost method is based on the fact that total profit in a perfectly competitive market reaches its
maximum point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.

Shamrock should think about their sales revenue maximisation more than the profit maximisation, to
make more profit it would mean higher prices and lower costs, which all depends on the variable
cost as this is very hard to reduce if you are producing more products, to gain reputation and sales
product quality has to be the best standards so customers are happy with the product quality and
repeating business with Shamrock, increasing sales revenue would mean advertising and selling
your product at the right price to gain more sales. Higher the sales are more the profit Shamrock will
be making, but there has to be minimum amount of profit for Shamrock so if they decide to join the

AArticle About Playground Video Games
Few months ago, I have read a Korean article about playground. That article showed statistics of
how many small towns are closing their playgrounds. The reason they close the playgrounds are,
there are no kids anymore. In these days, children are not really spending time with friends to play
outside. Rather, they go into each other's house for playing computer games or video games.
However, when I was young, I always went outside in the afternoon to hangout with my friends
until my parents spend hours to find me. How about you? Haven't you played outside until you
cannot recognize your friends face? For me, while I was playing with my friends, I could not feel
tiredness or starve. I rather choose playing with my friends than eating delicious foods. Everyone

The Structure Is Based Upon Generally Accepted Accounting...
The structure is based upon generally accepted accounting principles (i.e. GAAP). It is focused on
utilizing a double entry system to understand what is happening and serve as a way of rechecking
the information. The sources of it include: the total debt, liabilities, revenues and credits. This helps
actuaries to determine where possible errors occurred and how to correct them. The business
accounts are showing the relationship the nonprofit has with suppliers and financial institutions. To
effectively control the budget, these organziations will use the double entry accounting system. This
helps them to monitor the inventory and recheck for any kind of issues inside the specific practices
at a certain hotel. There are not large variances from the budgeted to actual figures. This is because
the firm uses the GAAP method to book revenues when they were actually received. These
procedures reduce the possibility of misstating estimates and it ensures that the financial information
is as accurate as possible. However, recent changes in accounting standards for all organizations is
leading to more firms embracing IFRS standards. In the next five years, there is a very realistic
possibility of a total convergence in accounting standards and the implementation of them. This is

Cultural Universals Of Ireland
Cultural universals are behaviors that all cultures must address. A few examples of cultural
universals include food, shelter, religion, storytelling, holidays, language, and gender roles. The
focus of this essay is going to be based on a culture that originated in Ireland and is known as Irish.
Ireland is an island and, it is located in the North Atlantic Ocean. Ireland is often called the 'land of
saints and scholars' referring to the golden age of monastic learning, or 'the emerald isle' referring to
the green landscape" (Culture & Society). The Irish cultural universals that are going to be the focus
of this essay include language, food, holidays, and symbols.
Language is a cultural universal because, it "is an important part of our lives. It is a uniquely human
gift, which lets us communicate and differentiates us from primates. But [sic] language is much
more than just a means of communication. It is also an inseparable part of our culture." (Brophy).
Without Language, we would be unable to communicate with one another and express our thoughts,

A Race United Essay
When the first Irish immigrants landed on the eastern shores of America in the 18th century, they
were met by intolerance from the Native whites who saw them as a threat to the American way of
life. The Dangers of Foreign Immigration, an article written by Samuel Morse in 1835, exposits
much of the anti–immigrant sentiment prevalent in the 19th century. To the natives, the Irish were
simply "niggers turned inside out" (Anonymous Satirism), who came to America as refugees from
Ireland to deprive them of their wealth and prosperity. Thus, the immigrants of Erin were forced to
join the ranks of the slave, the German, and the free Negro laborer at the very bottom of the

In addition to Irish progress politically, the sons and daughters of Erin also received help from each

Irish immigrants who arrived in the late 18th century. Unlike later generations, these early Irish
Americans were not necessarily Catholic, and didn't always speak English, but rather Gaelic. By the
time the second wave of Irish immigrants arrived in the mid–19th century, yet more differences
existed between these two waves. Those immigrants who had arrived earlier were by now relatively
more wealthy and established than their more recent counterparts. But through their common
threads Irish men and women, the established communities provided financial and political aid to
their newly arriving brethren. The Shamrock Friendly Association, an Irish aid group comprised of
prosperous Irish American citizens, published an informational pamphlet in 1816 entitled Hints to
Emigrants from Europe. In it, they tell Irish immigrants that "they may derive benefit from the
counsel and guidance of friends," and that "if one has gone the road [they] are about to travel, by
only showing [them] how it winds beyond the next hill," (Shamrock Friendly Association 4) they
would be better able to navigate their path in America successfully. In addition to encouragement,

Retirement Benefits And Benefits Of The Social Security...
Pensions are company–sponsored funds aimed to provide a firm's employees income after
retirement but are not offered by all employers. With the uncertainty of the future of the Social
Security program in the United States and its inadequate benefits for many, a lot of people find
themselves having to rely on their own savings to prepare for income beyond retirement through
savings and retirement accounts such as 401(k)s and IRAs. In order to lessen the burden of finding
their own source of post–retirement income, employees need to consider not only wages and other
current benefits when choosing between employment opportunities, but should also consider post–
retirement benefits such as pensions and healthcare when calculating total compensation. From a
company's perspective, firm–sponsored pension plans and other post–retirement benefits are
additional ways to attract employees and retain them, reducing costs associated with turnover and
being able to keep talent within the company. In response to the implementation of post–retirement
benefit plans, standards were established outlining the guidelines for accounting in US GAAP and
IFRS. However, different accounting issues exist with regards to pensions that are due to different

We are aware of Chato's thoughts which are based on made–up fantasies rather than what actually
happened. Chato desperately wants to "be somebody", and often misinterprets others reactions
toward him. For example, his teacher's simple act of kindness makes her want to adopt him. Once in
a while he is correct in his judgement of others. For example, Chato states that when a doctor read
his handwriting "He said it proved I had something wrong with me, some long word. That doctor
was crazy" ("The Somebody," p. 183) which he took and described the doctor's writing as "ugly like
a barb wire fence with little chickens stuck on the points" ("The Somebody," p. 183). Chato created
his own nickname by putting his street name with a Spanish word for cat. Since his street is no
longer a gang, in effect, he is a stray cat who has no family, and society has forgotten that he exists.
At the end of the story Chato describes his signature which has rays "shooting out of it like from the

  • 1. How Ifrs Defines A Contingent Liability And Provide An... Introduction For decades, countries have designed their individual accounting standards principle–based, rules– based, tax–oriented, or business–oriented. Globalization has led to the greater needs with regards to harmonizing the standards (Kimmel, 2013). By late 1990's the dominant standards were the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). Thus, both the standard setters namely; FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) and IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) launched a convergence project prior to the IFRS being essentially adopted by several countries. Measures are being taken to reduce likely impacts the frameworks would have on financial statement and reduction of last minute changes (Kimmel, 2013). IFRS 10–2: Explain how IFRS defines a contingent liability and provide an example. It refers to a likely obligation a company may incur mostly depending the outcome or results of a future event (Shamrock, 2012). Additionally, the outcome of a present situation is considered to be uncertain which is anticipated to be tackled by a future event. It is recorded in the books of account if the contingency is likely and the extent of liability can be projected. Product warranties and outstanding liabilities are common examples (Kimmel, 2013). If instance, if a company is sued for infringement and the damages payable is $55 million and expects to lose the case, the amount is recorded in the balance ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Many people believe that UFC fighters have to the brain to think and be smart about choices. People are mistaken even after submitting all the training , society won't let the UFC fighters live in peace until they get they prove they are smart .

  • 5. Case Study: Boston Shamrocks Sled Hockey I found a sled hockey team called the Boston Shamrocks. This a a nonprofit group because in it's description it clearly states that it's a free program for both the experienced and novice sled hockey player. It also meets the definition of nonprofit because it is for the relief of the underprivileged. Sled hockey is essentially the same as NHL hockey that you see on tv, but the major difference is that players use two sticks. This version of ice hockey is played primarily by people with lower limb mobility impairments and athletes are often either male or female, ages range from 15–60. 2. Provide some quantitative data that suggests this a "nonprofit" league. For example, how many teams or players/members does the league have? How many volunteers? How does it raise money? Who are its largest sponsors? What is the application fee to join the league? How much do athletes or coaches get paid? Northeast Sled Hockey is dependent on the generosity of donors and sponsors. The league does not pay salaries, but it does have expenses like ice time, referees, and scorekeepers. The league has two divisions, an adult division A and an adult division B. The league also has twelve board of directors and four league officials. It's largest sponsors are Gaylord Specialty ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

For example, a boy named Liam Flanagan loves the battle of sled hockey. Liam has a non degenerative neuro tumor condition and he said, "It was the first team sport I played that my team played the same way I did." This really inspired and helped to show me the benefits of non profit organizations like the NorthEast Sled Hockey League.

Analysis Of Money, Money Everywhere This essay analyzes the themes and messages represented in the image titled as "Money, Money Everywhere", taken on March 10, 1960 in California, United States. The theme represented in the photograph is "Emerald Elegance", chosen by the members of the Valley Panhellenic, for their Tuesday fashion show benefit scheduled at Sportsmen's Lodge.

It is quite nearly impossible to go a day without using a cell phone or personal computer; some cannot live without our internet–connected devices. Through all of this communication, there is a lot of very personal information is revealed without thinking about whether or not there can or will be an impact of doing this. In June of 2013, the impact became apparent when Edward Snowden, a former CIA employee, became a whistleblower and revealed mass surveillance programs happening in the United States and other countries where the communications of all citizens, and all the data therein, are being recorded and collected at all times (Snowden). While some have been suspecting that this has been happening for years, this is the first time that concrete evidence has been revealed to prove that government surveillance occurs in the modern era. This revelation no doubt was controversial with many citizens feeling many different ways about it. The popular street artist Banksy decided to do a piece about government surveillance where there are three men with various recording equipment surrounding a phone booth and recording what is happening within the phone booth. I believe that this art piece effectively points out the underlying problems with both the very idea of government surveillance. Banksy's piece is found in Cheltenham, England and ...

He was born in Roman Britain and when he was fourteen or so, he was captured by Irish pirates during a raiding party and taken to Ireland as a slave to herd and tend sheep. At the time, Ireland was a land of Druids and pagans but Patrick turned to God and wrote his memoir, The Confession. In The Confession, he wrote: "The love of God and his fear grew in me more and more, as did the faith, and my soul was roused, so that, in a single day, I have said as many as a hundred prayers and in the night, nearly the same. I prayed in the woods and on the mountain, even before dawn. I felt no hurt from the snow or ice or rain." Patrick's captivity lasted until he was twenty, when he escaped ...

After years of living in poverty, traveling and enduring much suffering he died March 17, 461. He died in Saul, where he had built the first Irish church. He is believed to be buried in Down Cathedral, Down Patrick. His grave was marked in 1990 with a granite stone. In His Footsteps: Patrick was a humble, pious, gentle man, whose love and total devotion to and trust in God should be a shining example to each of us. So complete was his trust in God, and of the importance of his mission, he feared nothing –not even death. "The Breastplate," Patrick's poem of faith and trust in God: "Christ be within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ inquired, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger." Legend credits St. Patrick with teaching the Irish about the doctrine of the Holy Trinity by showing people the shamrock, a three–leafed plant, using it to illustrate the Christian teaching of three persons in one God. This story first appears in writing in 1726, though it may be older. The shamrock has since become a central symbol for St Patrick's ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Founded during the civil rights movement, white supremacist inmates at the San Quentin prison created a gang of their own for protection.

  • 75. Retirement Benefits And Benefits Of The Social Security... Pensions are company–sponsored funds aimed to provide a firm's employees income after retirement but are not offered by all employers. With the uncertainty of the future of the Social Security program in the United States and its inadequate benefits for many, a lot of people find themselves having to rely on their own savings to prepare for income beyond retirement through savings and retirement accounts such as 401(k)s and IRAs. In order to lessen the burden of finding their own source of post–retirement income, employees need to consider not only wages and other current benefits when choosing between employment opportunities, but should also consider post– retirement benefits such as pensions and healthcare when calculating total compensation. From a company's perspective, firm–sponsored pension plans and other post–retirement benefits are additional ways to attract employees and retain them, reducing costs associated with turnover and being able to keep talent within the company. In response to the implementation of post–retirement benefit plans, standards were established outlining the guidelines for accounting in US GAAP and IFRS. However, different accounting issues exist with regards to pensions that are due to different causes. NATURE OF ACCOUNTING ISSUES A few of the accounting issues for pension plans stem from the fact that inherently, pension benefit obligations (PBO) are estimations, projections of the present value of future obligations based on different ...

  • 77. The Somebody Symbolism The story starts off with a bang, "I want you to know this is a big day in my life because today I quit school and went to work as a writer." ("The Somebody," p. 181). In the first few lines of Danny Santiago's story, "The Somebody", the reader is told that the protagonist, Chato de Shamrock, lives in east LA, where Chato's specific urban background seems to be related to his decision of becoming a writer. Other than Mr. Calderon and the girl at the end, the story is centered on a first person view of Chatos day. The day consists of Chato walking through the streets writing his name on walls and fences, and talking about what life used to be like when his gang, de shamrock, used to rule the streets. Through its contrasting life situations and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... We are aware of Chato's thoughts which are based on made–up fantasies rather than what actually happened. Chato desperately wants to "be somebody", and often misinterprets others reactions toward him. For example, his teacher's simple act of kindness makes her want to adopt him. Once in a while he is correct in his judgement of others. For example, Chato states that when a doctor read his handwriting "He said it proved I had something wrong with me, some long word. That doctor was crazy" ("The Somebody," p. 183) which he took and described the doctor's writing as "ugly like a barb wire fence with little chickens stuck on the points" ("The Somebody," p. 183). Chato created his own nickname by putting his street name with a Spanish word for cat. Since his street is no longer a gang, in effect, he is a stray cat who has no family, and society has forgotten that he exists. At the end of the story Chato describes his signature which has rays "shooting out of it like from the Holy Cross" ("The Somebody," p. 188). This description, saved for the end of the story, shows that loving thy neighbor is difficult in a neighborhood of disregard and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
