Auditing, Trust and Governance
The reputation of corporate reporting has been in crisis. Trust in the process of financial accounting and auditing has been undermined by a series of high profile scandals involving major corporations, including Enron, Parmalat, Ahold, and Worldcom. In response, regulators and practitioners world-wide have put forward a series of initiatives to re
Liberalizing Trade in Services
Abstract: Since the mid 1980s a substantial amount of research has been undertaken on trade in services. Much of this is inspired by the World Trade Organization or regional trade agreements, especially the European Union, but an increasing number of papers focus on the impacts of services sector liberalization. This paper surveys the literature, focusing on contributions that investigate the determinants of international trade and investment in services, the potential gains from greater trade (and liberalization), and efforts to cooperate to achieve such liberalization through trade agreements. It concludes that there is increasing evidence that services liberalization is an important source of potential welfare gains, but relatively little research has been done that can inform the design of international cooperation-both trade agreements and development assistance-so as to more effectively promote development objectives.
Categories in Markets

Een kwestie van vertrouwen
Klassieke professies als het notariaat, de farmacie, de advocatuur, de accountancy en de medische stand zijn de laatste decennia in voortdurende, de laatste jaren zelfs in haast tumultueuze beweging. De markten waarop ze opereren zijn bij voortduring aan verandering onderhevig en de bedrijfsvormen waarin ze zich organiseren wijzigen zich steeds meer. De klassieke professies werden oorspronkelijk uitgeoefend als vrij beroep, men was zijn eigen baas, terwijl tegenwoordig een groot deel van de beoefenaars ervan in een bedrijfsmatige context werkt en in loondienst is. Terwijl de markten voor professionele dienstverlening in de loop van de negentiende en twintigste eeuw steeds sterker werden afge...

International Accounting
In countries such as the UK, the energy used in constructing, occupying and operating buildings represents approximately 50% of greenhouse gas emissions. Pressure to improve the environmental performance of buildings during both construction and occupancy, particularly to reduce carbon emissions from buildings, has become intense. Understandably, legislation and regulation are driving green development and compliance. And this is happening in a wide variety of ways.
