Background

Today, the financial industry is more regulated than any other time in the history of economic globalization. However, the lack of fundamental professional behavior, ethics, and compliance raises the important question whether the current financial sector in Australia is destined for an endemic future.

The recent ANZ suspected interbank interest rate rigging, CBA’s CommInsure denial of compensation to legitimate claims from terminally ill patients, and the Macquarie Group ...

Carry Trade refers to the strategy of involving investors in selling a particular currency with a relatively low-interest rate. Then, the funds obtained in such transactions are utilized in purchasing a different currency that yields a higher rate of interest.

Ideally, the profit is as a result of the rate difference calculations between the values of the two currencies (Anzuini & Fornari 470). Japan gives a perfect example when it comes to learning about Carry Trade. The country has long been operating in deficits that ...

As a coherent system of notions that flow from an objective, which in turn serve to identify the purpose of financial reporting, a conceptual framework also provides guidance on the identification of the boundaries of financial reporting. Its concepts further provide guidance on the selection of transactions, related events, and circumstances to be presented, and how such elements should be summarized and ultimately reported (Financial Accounting Standards Board [FASB], 2008). One such conceptual ...

Australia is one of the unique parts of the world. A continent isolated from the outside world, which is almost empty. Indeed Australia’s population is tiny in comparison to its territory. There are two major areas where all the population is clustered – Eastern coast and Perth area (De Blij, Muller and Nijman 570). Such population distribution has both its advantages and drawbacks. For instance, highly urbanized and clustered population fosters interconnectedness and makes it easier to implement innovation. Australia is still in the beginning of its path. On the other hand, such large territory causes several burdens that ...

Introduction

In a landmark case, the judges concluded that for the success of a modern liberal nation, there must be a constitutional protection that ensures that the constitution promotes free expression “by establishing a marketable right to the use of one's expression, copyright supplies and the economic incentive to create and disseminate ideas”. Thus, by implication, copyright is supposed to be “an engine of free expression”. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the accuracy of the claim that copyright is an engine of free expression. The paper will critically assess the original position taken on copyright by the ...

Part 1 As the table above shows, the Nominal GDP is always higher than real GDP (Bureau of Economic Analysis, 2016, Table 1.1.5). The difference is attributed to the inflation that is accounted by real GDP. Thus, in other words, real GDP is a nominal GDP adjusted for the inflation. This adjustment is measured by GDP deflator that reflects the price change in the current year comparing to the base or previous year. The percentage change of the nominal GDP in the last quarter analyzed compared to the previous period was 1.2 %, while the percentage change of the nominal ...

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...

Physician-assisted suicide is a highly controversial topic which tends to polarize people’s views. Around the world, there is much debate in governments about laws regulating physician-assisted suicide, and several countries now allow the practice. There are many strong arguments on both side of the debate and taking all of these arguments into account is helpful when assessing the topic. Against this type of euthanasia, the slippery slope argument asserts that legalizing assisted suicide could lead to desensitization around killing, which could in turn lead to involuntary euthanasia being legalized. Perhaps the most important to a physician, the medical ...

The trade and investment relationship between Australia and China demolishes the theory of comparative advantage. According to Adam Smith and Ricardo, it makes sense for a country to focus on the production of goods and services it can do efficiently and purchase goods and services it produces less efficiently from other countries. When this theory is applied to the trade relationship between Australia, a rich country and China, a poor country, we arrive at a paradoxical outcome. The introduction of a free trade regime resulting in Australia-China trading relationship implies that Australian consumers will pay lower prices for imported ...

Two of the most important rates influencing decisions of international finance are the interest rate and the exchange rate (Terra, 2015).

However, it is a fact that many children of today continue to face harsh realities due to abuse and neglect. Many have become victims of people who do not care about the impact of their actions and the effect ...

Introduction

Firms in different industries across Australia operate in varying market structures including oligopoly, monopoly, and monopolistic markets. Monopoly firms include Telstra, a telecommunications company that has over the years proved to be the dominant supplier of the internet and mobile services.

Firms operating in the monopolistic structure include restaurants and hairdressing shops where firms aim at expanding their market share through product differentiation. The paper, therefore, uses examples drawn from Australian markets to discuss various market structures.

Introduction

Proper respect for human rights is one of global concerns that should not be neglected by for-profit organizations which usually prefer to deal with numbers turning a blind eye to external and internal problems related to human relations. Moreover, there are good grounds to hypothesize that being responsible for addressing human rights issues may be beneficial for private companies. Fair policies and humanitarian activities may contribute to improved care for employees and therefore increase their productiveness. Companies will not hang behind competitors in terms of positive image if human rights issues are properly addressed. Last of all, companies that ...

Mental wellbeing has in the recent past attracted a lot of attention from stakeholders in the health industry after they noted that holistic caring of a patient must involve ensuring mental wellness. In the past, this section of healthcare was overlooked, as mental diseases were not considered ‘illnesses’ but were rather thought to be associated with witchcraft. As a result, any person exhibiting signs of mental illness was shunned and secluded from the community and family members, until he/she passed on. Mental healthcare has as a result lagged behind in terms of providing quality care services to affected patients. ...

Geography is unique since it is the most basic and essential science. The creation of the field of geography is through human curiosity concerning the atmosphere and the environment in the world. It becomes unique because it is both a social and natural science.
