...world affairs. Now, there are about twelve thousand NGOs in all over the world operating in most countries. These organizations are not directly affiliated with any national government, but often have a significant Impact on the social, economy and political activity of the country or region involved. So, we can say that NGOs have become major players in the field of international and national development. But Bangladesh has largely failed to assist the poor or reduce poverty because of limited resources and planning, while NGOs have grown dramatically, but it ostensibly fails to fill this gap. There are more and bigger NGOs here than in any other country of equivalent size. Here, NGOs have mainly functioned to service the needs of the landless, usually assisted by foreign donor funding as a counterpoint to the state's efforts. Besides all these, in the field of NGO, Financial Reporting process and application of accounting is disgraceful. NGOs in Bangladesh have increasingly become subject to question and criticism from the government, political parties, intellectuals and the public in genus for misuse of funds, gender discrimination, and nepotism. Absence of proper guidelines in preparing financial statements and reports makes it more complex. The government of Bangladesh doesn’t have any unique rules for preparing the financial reports. In this report we will discuss about the financial reporting and Accounting system of NGOs and hopefully, the analysis and discussion of reporting...

...Essay based on the issue of sweatshop labour conditions in the global supply factory system. It is no secret that millions, if not billions of people around the world suffer dangerous and abusive work conditions in the global supply factory system. Since the emergence of the global economy, multi national corporations have been able to reap in large profits while keeping their prices low for consumers, in part, by taking advantage of cheap outsourced labour. The dark side of the global market is the severe exploitation of sweatshop labour conditions such as, child labour, poor health and safety standards, indentured servitude, sexual harassment and abuse, excessive overtime and under compensation. National and International labour standards do exist, the problem is that many countries where global supplier factories are located are either unable or unwilling to enforce labour laws for one reason or another. Thus, because governments in certain countries around the world do not enforce decent labour standards, multi nationals have been able to take advantage of cheap labour without many repercussions. Corporate citizenship or social responsibility has become a very important business practice for many companies. Civil society groups and consumers are now becoming much more adamant on the issue of corporate social responsibility and global fair labour. Multi national corporations, in the past, have been focused only on one objective, profit. With the increased pressure from...

...Introduction to Outsourcing Outsourcing is a practice used by different companies to reduce costs of business operation and enhancing profit by transferring portions of work to outside suppliers rather than completing it internally. This process is generally used in capital intensive manufacturing and technology companies to achieve higher returns on business by reducing cost significantly. Benefits of outsourcing include having skilled personnel, improved quality of products, augmenting production and mitigating risk in business process. The process works best between two organizations belonging to different types of economy. For example: an organization in USA (developed economy) gains substantially by outsourcing its production process to another company in China (developing economy). Outsourcing failure can be experienced in case of certain events. Setting unrealistic goals, inadequate contract details, inflexible contracts, outsourcing products critical to their competitive position, inadequate management review and having limited knowledge and understanding of the supplier’s process. One of the most important reasons behind the failures is the outsourcing company’s inability to comprehend existing scope of work and have a clear vision of the task to be achieved which leaves them unprepared for future contingency problems.

...Introduce Value Based Management in NGOs of Bangladesh Munima Siddika1 Abstract: Presently the rapid growth and diversification of the gigantic NGO sector of Bangladesh has given rise to questions and concerns, about their trade-offs between sustainability and pro-poor orientation; the impact and quality of services; corporate governance; management and accountability. The paper is based on a proposal to introduce a modern management system viz. value based management (VBM) in the NGOs of Bangladesh. Value-based management can be defined as an integrated management control system that measures, encourages and supports the creation of net worth. The report of Transparency International Bangladesh ‘Problems of Governance in the NGO Sector: The Way Out’ (TIB) 2007 is used here as an information source of finding out the flaws of existing management techniques. Finally the paper recommended implementation techniques of VBM in order to regain the image of the NGOs as a pioneer of social welfare in Bangladesh. Keywords: NGO, Transparency, Governance, Management, Strategies, Value Addition, Value Based Management etc. 1. Introduction Bangladesh has largely failed to assist the poor or reduce poverty because of limited resources and faulty planning, while Non Government Organizations (NGOs) have grown dramatically and ostensibly to fill up this gap. There are more and bigger NGOs here than in any other country of equivalent size. Bangladesh’s NGO sector is remarkable for the speed with...
