The Ethical and Legal Obligations of Accounting Reporting.

The Ethical and Legal Obligations of Accounting Reporting. Accounting is known as the Language of Business. The American Heritage Dictionary of the American Language defines accounting as activities that provide information, usually quantitative and often express in monetary units, for decision making, planning, controlling resources and operations, evaluating performance, and financial reporting to regulatory authorities and the membership. Here in the United States we have three forms of accounting practice: Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified Management Accountant (CMA), and Certified Internal Auditors (CIA). There are many qualifications and standards each accountant must adhere to. A CPA is licensed by the state of his/her residence to provide auditing services to the public. He/She must also pass the Uniform Certified Public Accountant examination which is graded by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. After passing a four part exam, a CIA is given a certificate from the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA). A CIA mostly supplies his/her services directly to their employers rather than the public.Michael Oxley , U.S. Senator from Maryland.A CMA must also pass a four part test along with meeting the experience requirements from the IMA. A CMA also provides service directly to the employer rather than the public. Along the basic criteria's (passing tests and becoming certified), individuals must also adhere to the standers and legal obligations set forth by governmental and state agencies.The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is an independent, private, non-Governmental authority that will be utilized to support the establishment of accounting principles in the United States. The mission of the Financial Accounting Standards Board is to establish and improve standards of financial accounting and reporting for the guidance and education of the public, including issuers, auditors, and users of financial information. The Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, is the United State s governing body which has primary responsibility for overseeing the regulation of the securities industry.

Common Slang Words for Vagina

Common Slang Words for Vagina The vagina is, of course, the correct word to describe female genitals. But while vagina is the clinically correct term, squeamishness continues to surround the use of the word. In addition, discussion of genitals (male or female) is often considered racy or even obscene. These cultural issues have given rise to the development of an incredible  range of slang terms for the vagina. Some of these terms are essentially euphemisms- terms that are considered to be acceptable even in the mainstream media. Others are childish or silly, while still others are degrading or even downright disgusting. Cultural Stigma The use of the word vagina has always caused cultural controversy. Use of any terms related to sexuality (particularly female sexuality) has long been banned from network television. In 1972, comedian George Carlin created a now-famous monologue called  Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television. Carlins intent was to illustrate how refusal to use words gives them power. As he said in an NPR interview in 2004: These words have no power. We give them this power by refusing to be free and easy with them. We give them great power over us. They really, in themselves, have no power. Its the thrust of the sentence that makes them either good or bad. While some discomfort over the use of sexual terminology has eased up with the rise of cable and streaming media, our cultural squeamishness has not disappeared.   In previous generations, children (particularly girls) have been encouraged to use nicer words such as peach, flower, or kitty, but with increased awareness of child sexual abuse nearly all educational experts stress that children be taught the correct word vagina and other body parts.
