Download or read book The History of Financial Management and Accounting Practice in the North Borneo 1881 1963 written by Rasid Mail and published by Universiti Malaysia Sabah Press. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discipline of financial management and accounting practices as part of the society’s social structure has evolved rapidly, in line with changing times, environmental pressures, technological developments and the needs of society. From a critical and behavioural perspective, both are neither isolated phenomena nor separated from the overall socioeconomic and political structure of society. In fact, these two disciplines interact with the surrounding conditions, either socioeconomic and political changes of the society or technological changes, in symbiotic and mutually influential forms. An understanding of how financial management disciplines and accounting practices change and evolve is necessary to enable both of their current practices to be understood for their origins and their relevance to the past. This need can only be met through a historical approach by examining past events and evidence, based on clues in the form of archive documents, cross-sectional studies on comparative research, reasoning processes based on theoretical formulas and the like. An explanation of related past phenomena will enable current practices of financial management and accounting practices to be understood and appreciated more. History can explain the origins of current phenomena, especially to the new generation who need to understand their identity and appreciate the contributions of past society. This book offers an explanation of the past regarding financial management practices and accounting practices in North Borneo (now known as the state of Sabah). As a branch of knowledge and practice of society which is more inclined to analyze the current situation and explore the future, through economic models, mathematical formulas and statistical forecasts, historical perspectives on financial management practices and accounting practices represent an outlook that is very rarely explored by researchers of accounting practices, nor is it a popular choice among historical writers. This book, which chose North Borneo during the colonial era (1881 – 1963) as the study background, is very useful as reference material by researchers and students as well as reading material to the public, especially those interested in understanding the development of past financial management practices and accounting practices, and their association to current practices. The coverage of this book is very comprehensive, covering 83 years period and presents reviews of the socioeconomic and political development of North Borneo related to the development of financial management practices and accounting practices.

Download or read book States Firms and Their Legal Fictions written by Melissa J. Durkee and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a new point of entry into questions about how the law conceives of states and firms. Because states and firms are fictitious constructs rather than products of evolutionary biology, the law dictates which acts should be attributed to each entity, and by which actors. Those legal decisions construct firms and states by attributing identity and consequences to them. As the volume shows, these legal decisions are often products of path dependence or conceptual metaphors like “personhood” that have expanded beyond their original uses. Focusing on attribution, the volume considers an array of questions about artificial entities that are usually divided into doctrinal siloes. These include questions about attribution of international legal responsibility to states and state-owned entities, transnational attribution of liabilities to firms, and attribution of identity rights to corporations. Durkee highlights the artificiality of doctrines that construct firms and states, and therefore their susceptibility to change.

Download or read book Where in the World is the Philippines written by Rodolfo Severino and published by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. This book was released on 2011 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "'Where in the world is the Philippines?' is a question that has been deftly and consistently dodged by our politicians at the expense of clearly defining the Philippines' territorial and maritime jurisdictions. Severino's scholarly work lays out what has happened in the past and what must be done in the future - and does so just as newly elected President Benigno S. Aquino begins his term in office. With the help of this timely and comprehensive study, it is imperative that Aquino and the Congress confront and resolve territorial issues once and for all." - Roberto R. Romulo, former Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the Philippines

Download or read book A Decade in Borneo written by Ada Pryer and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1878 a German named Overbeck and an Englishman named Dent travelled to North Borneo (now Sabah), announced to the locals that their ruler, the Sultan of Brunei, had sold all trade rights in the region, and left a young man named William Pryer to 'establish' the British North Borneo Company there. In 1894 Ada Pryer, who had married William in 1883, published her account of his early years as an administrator, along with some sketches of their life together. The result is a lively, vivid and compelling narrative." "The only book aimed at presenting North Borneo appealingly to British audiences, and thus capturing their political support for the British commercial presence there, Ada's little book functioned as a kind of immigration manual about a land where snakes were scarce and moonlight was plentiful. The memoir has value both as a travel narrative in its own right and for understanding the international politics of the British takeover of North Borneo." "This new edition reproduces the text of the original 1894 edition, and includes an introductory essay as well as annotations to explain and contextualize references of historical and biographical significance."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book The Indonesia Malaysia Dispute Concerning Sovereignty over Sipadan and Ligitan Islands written by D S Ranjit Singh and published by ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2002, ASEAN made history when two of its founder members—Indonesia and Malaysia—amicably settled a dispute over the ownership of the two Bornean islands of Sipadan and Ligitan by accepting the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) which ruled in favour of Malaysia. The case at once assumed great significance as a beacon of hope for the region which is plagued by numerous disruptive territorial disputes. As both the historical evidence and legal milieu are vital considerations for the ICJ to award sovereignty, this book covers in detail the historical roots of the issue as well as the law dimension pertaining to the process of legal proceedings and the ICJ deliberations. The work concludes by offering a set of guidelines on cardinal principles of international law for successfully supporting a claim to disputed territories. These may be usefully utilized by interested parties. “An invaluable account of the dispute between Malaysia and Indonesia over the Sipadan and Ligitan Islands. Written skilfully by a historian who is in clear command of the facts. Highly recommended for anyone who wishes to understand border disputes in Southeast Asia.”—Professor James Chin, Director, Asia Institute, University of Tasmania
