...A mistake is a false assumption made by one or both parties in the formation of a contract and may be used as grounds to invalidate the agreement. There are three types of mistake in the law of contract. These are common mistake, mutual mistake and unilateral mistake. A common mistake is where both parties hold the same mistaken beliefs of the facts. A common mistake ca only void a contract if the mistake of the subject matter was sufficiently fundamental to render its identity different from what was contracted, making the performance of the contract impossible. There are two situations of common mistake. These are the case of res extincta and the case of res sua. In the case of res extincta, there is a common mistake asto the existence of the subject matter of the contract. For example, if A agrees to sell his car to B and unknown to both persons, the car had at the time of sale been destroyed by fire, the contract will be void because A has innocently undertaken an obligation which he cannot possibly fulfill. The following case is an application of res extincta. In the case of Couturier v Hastie, Hastie dispatched a cargo of corn from Salonica and sent the chaterparty a bill of lading to their London agents so that the corn might be sold. The London agents employed Couturier to sell the corn and a person named Callander bought it. Unknown to the parties the cargo had become overheated and had been landed at the nearest port and sold, so that when the contract was...

Whether we are talking about marketing information, cost projections, accounting results, or internal quality reports, every company depends on knowledge to support its planning, decision-making, and control. So how does knowledge fit into the picture? The emergence of the field called knowledge management has highlighted some key propositions in the last 10 years or so. All organizations are storehouses of knowledge that operate in information-rich environments made up of people and things both inside and outside the organization itself Organizations organize, interpret, and evaluate this information to solve organizational problems Knowledge is the primary mechanism for processing and utilizing information People's brains are the key knowledge resource of any organization Codified knowledge stored in books, audio, videotapes, and computer systems can be an important knowledge resource as well There are organizational processes and strategies for IT management and management in general. Therefore, processes and strategies in particular can significantly enhance the ability of organizations to...

...ABSTRACT: Cloud computing has been envisioned as the de-facto solution to the rising storage costs of IT Enterprises. With the high costs of data storage devices as well as the rapid rate at which data is being generated it proves costly for enterprises or individual users to frequently update their hardware. Apart from reduction in storage costs data outsourcing to the cloud also helps in reducing the maintenance. Cloud storage moves the user’s data to large data centers, which are remotely located, on which user does not have any control. However, this unique feature of the cloud poses many new security challenges which need to be clearly understood and resolved. We provide a scheme which gives a proof of data integrity in the cloud which the customer can employ to check the correctness of his data in the cloud. This proof can be agreed upon by both the cloud and the customer and can be incorporated in the Service level agreement (SLA). PROJECT PURPOSE: Purpose of developing proofs for data possession at untrusted cloud storage servers we are often limited by the resources at the cloud server as well as at the client. Given that the data sizes are large and are stored at remote servers, accessing the entire file can be expensive in I/O costs to the storage server. Also transmitting the file across the network to the client can consume heavy bandwidths. Since growth in storage capacity has far outpaced the growth in data access as well as network bandwidth, accessing and...

...Classification of zakat [pic] Zakat is divided into two main categories 1. - Zakat of al-Fitr (i.e. the breaking of the fast at the end ofRamadan. It is also referred to as the Zakat of the body. 2. - Zakat of wealth. Zakat of al-Fitr: Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam ordered that this kind of charity should be observed inthe same year in which the fasting during Ramadan was imposed.A day, or two days preceding al-Fitr the Prophet addressed theMuslims saying:"Give for charity, be it corn or dates; give according to what youare, free or slave, young or old."It is also related by al-Bukhari and Muslim that the Prophet(Prayer and God's Peace be upon him) imposed the charity of al-Fitrafter Ramadan, a measure of dates or barley on all Muslims, slave orfree, young or old, male or female. THOSE WHO HAVE TO PRACTISE ZAKAT AL-FITR Zakat al-Fitr does not become nullified if one is a Muslim,provided the Muslim is free and possesses the amount of Zakat aftercovering the expenses of food for himself, and those whom he feedsfor a day and a night, together with the expenditure which he incursin relation to wife, son, servants and those whom he has to providefor such as parents and others. Its amount: The amount is either a measure of dates, or barley, or rice, orcorn, or anything else edible that can be used for food, from eachindividual.If Zakat is to consist of wheat it is half that for each person. A manmust consciously intend Zakat, since without intent it is not...

...This was a post by someone about a year or two ago. I'm not too sure about the exact date but I thought it might be quite useful to put up in case anyone has problems in structuring their answers.. Question 1) - This is ALWAYS a summary question. You need to look at an article and write a1 page long summary of what it is saying. - You structure it as so: 4 paragraphs. In each paragraph, you are to includeat least 1 short quote. Don't make your quote any longer than 5 words. You thentalk about the quote, summarise what it means and provide an interpretationabout it. You start with "from this article we can infer that x"...you then include a short, embedded quote suchas "we can infer that vegetarianism is actually a "greaterdrain" on our supplies than regular meat eating". Now don't getthis wrong, YOU ONLY keep the quote you pick identical to the article's text.If the rest of the article says "...on our supplies than regularmeat eating", DON'T copy that out, change it into your OWN words,like "...than normal diets on our reserves of energy andlogistics." See what happened there? I re-wrote the article'smessage in this section using my own understanding. This gets you into the topband and makes sure that you actually UNDERSTAND the article, because that iswhat the question is asking you. That's what the paper is about, your READINGability, not your 'copying out information' skills. - Add interpretations at the end, such as "this is actually verysurprising as we would expect...

According to the case and related exhibits, AS was successful in achieving this aim. Secondly, in the case of reporting objectives one can see that AS conducted internal audits with the aim of providing non-financial information. The audits seemed to have reliable information, as they detected fraud in earlier stages, but this was simply ignored or not followed up by the management. The third objective of compliance with laws and other regulation cannot be properly determined with the information provided. According to KPMG's statement, it appeared to be not a main objective of the company, as the management was inconsistent in their doing...

...Culture-Specific Forensic Accounting Conceptual Framework: A skills Set Theoretical Analysis Abstract : Forensic accounting, given its peculiar investigative stance, requires a specific skills set on the part of the forensic accountant, that integrates accounting, auditing and investigative skills. The Jordanian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (JACC) struggle to investigate Maward’s, a Jordanian state-own company, suspected corruption has raised serious concerns regarding the weak state of forensic accounting in Jordan, and the need for its adaptation to suit the country’s peculiar context, to successfully institutionalize at the wider societal level and benefit the state in its aim for ensuring efficient utilization of the scarce resources at its disposal. This study is an attempt to deduce a country-specific conceptual framework for forensic accounting, which can be replicated, with suitable adaptations, to other countries with similar cultural backgrounds, and put forth some theory-supported suggestions to help guide future research in the area. Keywords: forensic accounting, conceptual framework, institutional theory, foucault Introduction: The rise in the white collar crimes, where evidences are comparatively moreobscure and difficult to detect (Gottschalk, 2011), has necessitated equipping of auditors with forensic skills, particularly over the recent years (DiGabriele, 2009a; Carnes & Gierlasinski, 2001). In the aftermath of several accounting scandals...

...Groceries, Supermarkets, and Beyond: The Food Retail Industry John Abbott Samia Bagdady Kate deLima Casey Gavin MBA AF601: Economics for Managers Spring 2010 HISTORY The food industry has developed more structural specialization and diversity than probably any other industrial sector. Food moves from producer to consumer through many channels such as direct sale at the farm, heavily advertised brands in supermarkets, generic or store brands, through convenience stores and other institutional feeders. With great changes in American lifestyles since food delivery became industrialized, there have been significant shifts have taken place among these channels as well as profound changes within each. Therefore, the U.S. food system has experienced rapid development and has responded to periods of rapid economic growth, technical change, changes in household structure, rising consumer income and changing public policy. Its institutional structure has been transformed repeatedly. It has been subjected to periods of intense public scrutiny that have shaped much of the public policy that guides and constrains its conduct and performance. This large economic sector is affected by many forces, from Many influences or forces which affect this large economic sector. The list of interactive factors spans from basic agricultural commodity supply and demand situations to final consumer preferences (Padberg & Rogers, 1987). Over the...

The company has recorded the highest Net Profit of Rs. 189,240 million. ONGC recorded highest ever production of 62.05 million ton of oil and equivalent gas (MMTOE). For the reporting year 2010-11. This represents a growth of 12% in both turnover and net worth and 13% in net profit over FY-2010. The company continued to pursue its growth strategy despite the fact that global economy was in shambles and the oil industry had been at crossroads since later half of 2008. The growth vehicle of ONGC, “ONGC VIDESH LTD.” With 40 projects in 15 countries sourced 8.87 MTOE of oil and gas in FY 2010: the highest ever. Beyond core activities of E&P, the company’s efforts towards new gas sources are also laudable. CBM production from the pilot Parbatpur, Jharia project has started in January 2010.
