SIFMA and Other Associations Submit Comments to the U.S. Congress On September 10, 2015 The United States Congress United States Capitol Washington, DC 20510 To the Members of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives: The undersigned organizations, representing millions of individuals, employees, businesses of all sizes, community development organizations and non-profit organizations, urge Congress to act immediately on a seamless, multiyear or permanent extension of the expired and expiring tax provisions, including appropriate enhancements. These tax provisions are critically important to U.S. jobs and the broader economy. Failure to extend these provisions is a tax increase. It will inject instability and uncertainty into the economy and weaken confidence in the employment marketplace. Acting promptly on this matter will provide important predictability necessary for economic growth. The expired provisions should be renewed as soon as possible this year. We urge all members of Congress to work together to extend seamlessly on a multiyear basis, and where possible enhance or make permanent, these important tax provisions. Sincerely, .decimal, Inc.

  • Mandating Diversity: the Inclusion Clause
    Call to Action Sara Lee's General Counsel: Making Diversity A Priority By Melanie Lasoff Levs For some committed general counsel, the standard talk about diversity is only a starting point. Recently, many corporate attorneys decided it was time to demand specific actions and results-with very real consequences. In spring 2004, Sara Lee General Counsel Roderick Palmore created "A Call to Action: Diversity in the Legal Profession," a document reaffirming a commitment to diversity in the law profession and taking action to ensure that corporate legal departments and law firms increase the numbers of women and minority attorneys hired and retained. And if law firms don't, the document states, "We [the undersigned corporate legal department representatives] further intend to end or limit our relationships with firms whose performance consistently evidences a lack of meaningful interest in being diverse." (See the sidebar in this article for the complete text.) Palmore wrote the Call to Action to build on a previous manifesto: former BellSouth General Counsel Charles Morgan's "Diversity in the Workplace: A Statement of Principle," written in 1999. "In that [document], signatories espoused an interest in diversity and the principle of diversity, which was a fabulous thing at the time," Palmore says. "But it struck me that not enough has happened. The progress of the profession-and more specifically the progress of large law firms-had stagnated." The Call to Action takes the Statement of Principle a step further, Palmore adds. "Its purpose is to take the general principle of interest in advancing diversity and translate that into action, into a commitment to act on, to make decisions about retaining law firms based in part on the diversity performance of those law firms." Discussion around the need for a Call to Action began in November 2003, when a group of general counsel gathered at the invitation of the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA®), and the Association of the Corporate Counsel (ACC).

  • Who Is Most Impacted by the New Lease Accounting Standards?
    Who is Most Impacted by the New Lease Accounting Standards? An Analysis of the Fortune 500’s Leasing Obligations What Do Corporations Lease? Many companies lease (rather than buy) much of the equipment and real estate they use to run their business. Many of the office buildings, warehouses, retail stores or manufacturing plants companies run their operations from are leased. Many of the forklifts, trucks, computers and data center equipment companies use to run their business is leased. Leasing has many benefits. Cash flow is one. Instead of outlaying $300,000 to buy five trucks today you can make a series of payments over the next four years to lease them. You can then deploy the cash you saved towards other investments that appreciate in value. Also, regular replacement of older technology with the latest and greatest technology increases productivity and profitability. Instead of buying a server to use in your data center for five years, you can lease the machines and get a new replacement every three years. If you can return the equipment on time, you are effectively outsourcing the monetization of the residual value in the equipment to an expert third-party, the leasing company. Another benefit of leasing is the accounting, specifically the way the leases are reported on financial statements such as annual reports (10-Ks). Today, under the current ASC 840 standard, leases are classified as capital leases or operating leases. Capital leases are reported on the balance sheet. Operating leases are disclosed in the footnotes of your financial statements as “off balance sheet” operating expenses and excluded from important financial ratios such as Return on Assets that investors use to judge a company’s performance.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Universiti Teknologi MARA Institutional Repository BMQR Vol.2, No.1, 2011 CONSUMERS’ PREFERENCE AND CONSUMPTION TOWARDS FAST FOOD: EVIDENCES FROM MALAYSIA 14 Farzana Quoquab Habib Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Rozhan Abu Dardak MARDI, Malaysia Sabarudin Zakaria Multimedia University, Malaysia Abstract This study aims to understand consumer preference relating to the fast food in Malaysian market. Moreover, this paper seeks to investigate the trend and pattern of fast food consumption and the importance of various factors affecting the choice of fast food among Malaysian consumers. Findings suggest that expenditure for fast food mostly goes to fried chicken, while instant noodles are the least. Moreover, food safety, speed in delivery and food taste suitability has been found as the main influential factors for purchasing the fast food. On the contrary, quality, freshness, easy to cook, and cleanliness are the second priority. Furthermore, ‘Halal’ status has been indicated as the most important factor for the Muslim consumers. Survey method using convenience sampling has been carried out for conducting this study. Therefore, further research targeting a more diverse group of consumers employing random sampling can provide greater generalization. Keywords – Consumer preference, Fast-food consumption, Malaysian consumers Introduction In recent years, the major food consumption trend in urban parts of developing countries is that more consumers are eating increasingly more meals outside of their homes and most of the growth in away-from-home eating has been in the fast food sector (Kaynak et al., 2006). The interest shown at the national and international levels concerning the fast food is derived from the scarcity of time in a competitive, dynamic and urban fast life (Platania and Donatella, 2003).

  • Burger Joint Sees Expansion Opportunities Around Columbus
    Burger joint sees expansion opportunities around Columbus By Dan Eaton – Staff reporter, Columbus Business First ​ ​ Nov 23, 2020, 1:07pm EST Drive-thru is driving sales. As Covid-19 pandemic restrictions limit and maybe even discourage dine-in business for food providers, drive-thru operators are finding themselves well positioned. “We’re pandemic proof,” Robert Bhagwandat, director of franchise development for Checkers & Rally’s Restaurants Inc. “We’re ahead of the game and everyone is trying to catch up.” The Tampa-based fast food operator will open its 15th Central Ohio unit in the coming weeks at 3850 S. Hamilton Road in Groveport. It aims to add at least one new local site a year moving into the future. The 900 Rally’s and Checkers units (same menus, different names depending on the market) are drive-thru only and have been thriving during the pandemic. The company opened a Dayton location over the summer that had a record opening for the business. “We’re doing a lot better than we first expected,” Bhagwandat said. “We’re obviously well set-up to operate with these regulations. From the business side we’ve been able to capitalize on that.” Akron-based Swensons Drive-In’s also is adding local units, and said it saw a similar trend of customers flocking to its business in part because the car-hop style delivery ​ already was familiar. Del Taco cited surging sales as a reason for its new Central Ohio ​ expansion, while even Dublin-based Wendy’s Co. posted its best third quarter ​ ​ same-restaurant sales in 15 years.
