Unity or autonomy: is there really a choice?
Article Abstract:
The European Community plans to complete its program for a single internal market by 1992, hoping that complete economic integration between countries will eventually be achieved. Effects of the integration could include: growth in the size and number of European, rather than national, businesses; more choices for consumers; and, for businesses, more investment in distribution and production, higher cost savings, and a rise in income level. Effects on the accountancy profession will involve the opportunity for accounting firms to specialize in cross-border transactions as well as forming relationships with firms in other countries. Competition may increase as non-UK accounting firms enter the UK market. Cross-border accounting regulations will need to be standardized, resulting in more governmental involvement in the accounting profession.

Mutual associations are an attractive option for a group of people who have come together to attain a mutual goal, but they can work only if the members of the group exercise their rights. When the associations grow to a large membership, the actual membership begins to lose value and meaning.

Article Abstract:
In politics as in every profession impressions can be as important as the truth. It is generally accepted that someone must be to blame if something goes wrong, but this is not always the case and can be misleading.
