This book was released on 2009 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (1) Review of Financial Management: this report reviews the governance arrangements and financial management of the 16 colleges from their incorporation in 1998 to 2007 (now restructured to form six larger, area-based colleges). The lifetime of the 16 colleges was a period when there were significant and sustained developments in governance arrangements in public bodies in Northern Ireland, but the report notes that occasional significant lapses illustrate that it is not sufficient to have governance structures in place: they need to operate intelligently and effectively to work. The Colleges total income in 2006-07 was £231 million and there was an overall deficit of £5 million, with 8 of the 16 colleges having incurred a deficit in that year. Colleges, in broad terms, are required to break even to maintain their solvency. Common reasons for deficits in those colleges which were in financial difficulties were poor financial controls, inadequate financial systems and insufficient information provided to senior management or Governors. (2) Governance examination of Fermanagh College: in 2005 and 2006 a number of Departmental and consultancy reviews in Fermanagh College highlighted serious failings in financial management and raised concerns over the regularity and propriety of the use of public funds. Given the findings of the various reviews conducted, the Audit Office considered DEL's monitoring of the College. It is concerned that the findings remained undetected by the Governing Body. The Department told the Audit Office that its biggest concern was that the problems in Fermanagh College had not been identified by internal or external audit. The Department should take steps to monitor closely the operation of college audit committees.

Download or read book The Planning and Management of Distance Education written by Greville Rumble and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1986, The Planning and Management of Distance Education examines the problems faced by those who are setting up and managing distance education systems of various kinds. The book begins by considering definitions of distance education and various models which can be used to describe and understand distance education systems. The second chapter considers various general education models and relates these to distance education. The concepts introduced in the first two chapters form a background to the rest of the book. The next section looks at the aspirations of those setting up distance education systems, the economics and costs of such systems, and the process of planning a distance education system from scratch (chapters 3-5). Chapters 6-11 consider aspects of planning and management – organisation, staffing, planning, budgeting, the management of the academic processes related to materials development and the provision of local student services, production management (the management of materials production and distribution), operations management (the management of the delivery of student services) – and the impact of new technology on production and operations management, and finally, evaluation. The short concluding chapter draws together some of the themes running through the book.

Download or read book The Making of the Test Ban Treaty written by Ronald J. Terchek and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eighteen years after the United States presented its plan for the international control of atomic energy to the United Nations, the first major arms control agreement was signed between the United States and the Soviet Union. Including Great Britain, the three major nuclear powers pledged to refrain from nuclear tests in the atmosphere, outer space, and underwater in a treaty negotiated in Moscow within two weeks during the summer of 1963. It was hoped that the treaty would at least discourage those phases of the arms race which required large-yield nuclear explosions in the atmosphere or outer space as well as eliminate further radioactive pollution of the atmos phere. In addition, the test ban would discourage, though not eliminate, the development of nuclear weapons by other treaty adherents because the un derground testing allowed under the terms of the document would escalate already heavy costs for countries intending to conduct their first nuclear tests. The Kennedy administration expected other agreements to follow the test ban treaty, particularly an agreement to keep outer space free from 1 nuclear warheads and to outlaw underground tests in the near future. But one of the most important anticipated benefits of the treaty was the expected improvement of relations between the United States and the Soviet Union. The treaty was important not only because it was a tangible breakthrough in East-West arms-control negotiations but also because of its implications for domestic and international politics.
