APEC’s Future
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page paper discussing Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation’s (APEC) history and focus to determine whether it has a future. Though critics disdain APEC’s focus on the long term and lack of specific action in the present, it is long-term results – and therefore sustainability – that the group seeks. It has been able to achieve that in the past, and now issues of sustainability, environment and corporate governance are more important than ever before. These are issues well-suited to APEC’s approach to problem-solving, and they are issues that will require years to iron out. It appears that not only is APEC’s future secure, it likely will grow in significance in coming years. Bibliography lists 16 sources.

Application of I.A.S.-1
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper discussing the application of I.A.S.-1, the International Accounting Standard number 1.
