The open persuader
Article Abstract:
Chris Swinson feels nervous in becoming the next president of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. Known for his aggressive and adversarial management style, Swinson has become more diplomatic and tactful in his dealings with people. He started his career as a manager and partner at Price Waterhouse before becoming a national managing partner at Binder Hamlyn. At Binder, Swinson was booted out of the company because of conflicts with management. He feels strongly about the importance of integrity in his professional career and values commitment to independent regulations and sound judgement. In addition, he sincerely believes in successfully overcoming challenges through rigorous thinking.

A bargain at the price
Article Abstract:
Statutory consolidation packages are similar to accounting software packages in that both usually consist of a set of programs that perform specific tasks. Consolidation packages are usually written in a high-level language called a Decision Support System. The architecture of the consolidation package includes consolidation pack definitions, currency translation rules, consolidation hierarchy, journal vouchers, intercompany balances, and report formats, all of which are controlled by menus and input screens.
