Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything starts out small ... The author of this book once heard this mysterious word offshore for the first time, too. And he, too, asked himself questions like: 'What does a registered agent do?', 'How much do nominee services cost?', 'Why do I need an apostille?', and 'Where is it better to open a bank account?'. It is this inexperienced reader that the book is intended for, and its title speaks for itself. 'Offshore Company Fundamentals' contains basic information that is necessary to anyone who, on hearing the word Panama, thinks of a broad hat, rather than of 'Panama Papers'. However, a sophisticated reader will also appreciate the survey of events and facts without which the topic can hardly be considered properly covered, although they do not exactly qualify as 'fundamental stuff': -Panama Papers and other offshore leaks - What data will be available in the era of worldwide exchange of information: sometimes the future looks back at you from your computer screen;-Cyprus deposit haircut 2013, an event that usually makes one lose faith in humanity, but in this case for some reason the only thing lost was money;-How to open a bank account in the new environment? - Learning to fly is easier;-International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), an organisation that is more like an elite Boy Scout task force digging up compromising material on the powers that be if they are in any way associated with offshores; -Where is the nominee director heading? - Wherever he is heading, now you will not be going the same way;-Compliance Officer, a bogey that sophisticated businessmen use to scare children into good behaviour.The more recent popular questions also include: What are CFC rules? Will I need to comply with economic substance requirements? How does the automatic exchange of tax information work? Why set up a trust? Of course, the author could not but cover these highly relevant topics, too. Whether he has succeeded in this and other tasks is up to you to decide

Download or read book Offshore Company Law written by E. Edward Siemens and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This finely crafted and handsomely bound book will be a handy source of information for those working in both the onshore and offshore world, and who truly need to understand the differences between jurisdictions competing in the provision of offshore companies. Through coverage of the specifics in each country - including corporate legislation, as well as issues relevant to stakeholders, taxation, and related matters - author E. Edward Siemens provides an up-to-date book of real importance to the users of offshore companies and their advisers. All too often, offshore companies are formed with very little thought about the pros and cons of different jurisdictions and, in particular, what may turn out to be very important differences in the duties and liabilities of directors. A number of legal and tax issues are also forgotten as advisors reach for the fastest and cheapest solution to the needs of their clients. Siemens addresses many of these issues, providing a good reminder, to those using offshore companies, of the importance of a careful review in advance which can minimize a costly and unhappy end to the use of offshore companies. Siemens also provides a good overview of the different forms of companies that are available, which can be of extreme importance in determining the right type and location of offshore company to be established. His analysis includes protected cell companies, companies limited by guarantee, as well as hybrid entities. The important area of corporate governance is reviewed, together with issues relevant to the question of directors' liability - and directors' and officers' liability insurance. This detailed study examines 20 offshore jurisdictions including: the Bahamas, Belize, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Jersey, the Isle of Man, Gibraltar, the Cook Islands, Samoa, Vanuatu, Mauritius, Seychelles, Panama, Switzerland, Dubai, Labuan, Delaware, and Hong Kong.

Download or read book Offshore Pioneers Brown Root and the History of Offshore Oil and Gas written by Joseph A. Pratt and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1997-11-03 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years ago, in November 1947, Brown & Root helped Kerr-McGee build the first out-of-sight-land offshore platform that produced oil. The date is widely celebrated as the birth of the modern offshore industry. In the years since this historic occasion, Brown & Root has continued to pioneer in the design and construction of offshore pipelines and platforms. Along with the rest of the offshore industry, the company has helped develop technology capable of finding and producing oil in deepwater and in harsh environments around the world.This history puts a human face on the process of technological change. Using the words of many of those who took part in Brown & Root's offshore activities, this book recounts their efforts to find practical ways to recover offshore oil. Building on lessons learned in the Gulf of Mexico before and after World War II, the company's personnel adapted offshore technologies to conditions encountered in Venezuela, the Middle East, Alaska, and other regions before becoming one of the first engineering and construction companies to confront the challenge of North Sea development in the 1960's.Through times of boom and bust in the oil industry, the search for effective technology had continued. The process has not always been smooth, but the results have been impressive. As we enter a new and exciting era in offshore technology, the history of the first fifty years of the industry provides a useful context for understanding current and future events.

Download or read book Fraud and Corruption written by Nigel Iyer and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Executives are under enormous pressure to meet stakeholder expectations regarding the prevention of fraud and corruption. However, the drive to demonstrate that they are complying with legislative requirements and high principles has, in many cases, overshadowed the need to deal with the problem itself. As a result, fraud and corruption remain a significant unmanaged source of risk for many organizations. Drawing on experiences across Europe, America and Australia, Iyer and Samociuk give you the tools to establish an effective and far-reaching anti-fraud and corruption programme. Included is a compendium of techniques for assessing the true risk of fraud and corruption, reducing those risks and using health checks to provide early warnings. Also included is The Tightrope, A Story of Fraud and Corruption...which takes the reader from first suspicions through crisis and finally recovery in a vivid and instructive style, covering the lessons in the main text. This new book is a must-read for all those responsible for the prevention of fraud and corruption, risk management, corporate compliance, corporate responsibility and governance.

Download or read book Macondo Well Deepwater Horizon Blowout written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-03-02 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blowout of the Macondo well on April 20, 2010, led to enormous consequences for the individuals involved in the drilling operations, and for their families. Eleven workers on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig lost their lives and 16 others were seriously injured. There were also enormous consequences for the companies involved in the drilling operations, to the Gulf of Mexico environment, and to the economy of the region and beyond. The flow continued for nearly 3 months before the well could be completely killed, during which time, nearly 5 million barrels of oil spilled into the gulf. Macondo Well-Deepwater Horizon Blowout examines the causes of the blowout and provides a series of recommendations, for both the oil and gas industry and government regulators, intended to reduce the likelihood and impact of any future losses of well control during offshore drilling. According to this report, companies involved in offshore drilling should take a "system safety" approach to anticipating and managing possible dangers at every level of operation-from ensuring the integrity of wells to designing blowout preventers that function under all foreseeable conditions-in order to reduce the risk of another accident as catastrophic as the Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill. In addition, an enhanced regulatory approach should combine strong industry safety goals with mandatory oversight at critical points during drilling operations. Macondo Well-Deepwater Horizon Blowout discusses ultimate responsibility and accountability for well integrity and safety of offshore equipment, formal system safety education and training of personnel engaged in offshore drilling, and guidelines that should be established so that well designs incorporate protection against the various credible risks associated with the drilling and abandonment process. This book will be of interest to professionals in the oil and gas industry, government decision makers, environmental advocacy groups, and others who seek an understanding of the processes involved in order to ensure safety in undertakings of this nature.

This book was released on 2015-01-26 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assassination of President Kennedy in 1963 continues to be shrouded in mystery and controversy. In Plausible Denial, Mark Lane, the author of Rush to Judgment, the provocative and bestselling critique of the Warren Commission, reveals startling evidence about the CIA’s involvement in a plot to murder the president. In 1978, when a small magazine ran a story by CIA renegade Victor Marchetti linking ex-CIA operative and convicted Watergate burglar E. Howard Hunt to the assassination, Hunt sued for defamation. Lane signed on as defense counsel for the publication, and set out to prove the truth of the allegations against Hunt and the CIA. Lane’s investigation uncovered a web of conspiracy that involved anti-Castro Cubans, Watergate conspirators, and public officials at the highest levels of the intelligence community. The forewoman of the jury, Leslie Armstrong, stated that “Mr. Lane was asking us to do something very difficult. He was asking us to believe that John Kennedy had been killed by our own government. Yet when we examined the evidence, we were compelled to conclude that the CIA had indeed killed President Kennedy.” Meticulously documented and compellingly written, this book makes public the contents of this curiously unpublicized trial, the only jury verdict directly related to the theory that the CIA was involved in the assassination.

Download or read book Considering the Consequences written by Jason Campbell Sharman and published by Commonwealth Secretariat. This book was released on 2008 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What have been the consequences of recent regulatory initiatives on international financial centers in small countries? This study of three small Commonwealth countries--Barbados, Mauritius and Vanuatu--suggests that the costs of implementing these new standards have exceeded any identifiable benefits for the countries concerned. The main factor explaining the adoption of the new standards, in all three countries, is the fear of being blacklisted by international organizations in the event of non-compliance, rather than any identified benefit in terms of increased competitiveness. The authors consider how policy on anti-money laundering should be developed in the future, taking into account the particular concerns of small developing countries. The book will be of interest to all those engaged in setting international standards for financial regulation, and those regulating the finance industry in both large and small countries.
