A reminder about the PPSA and avoiding the loss of priority Parties need to make sure they register any security interests they have in personal property or risk losing out altogether in the event that a customer becomes insolvent. From 30 January 2012, the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) (“PPSA”) established a new system for the creation, priority and enforcement of what are termed security interests in personal property. Generally, this covers all property other than land, fixtures and some specific statutory interests. There are some fundamental differences between the concepts underpinning the PPSA and the historical way of looking at security and priority — notably, the PPSA takes a substance over form approach to transactions, and the rules for determining priority aren’t based on legal title.

  • Senate Finance Committee Auditor of State Keith Faber Budget Testimony April 15, 2021
    Senate Finance Committee Auditor of State Keith Faber Budget Testimony April 15, 2021 Chairman Dolan, Vice Chair Gavarone, Ranking Member Sykes, and members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify regarding the FY 2022/23 operating budget for the Auditor of State (AOS). After sitting where you sit today, I appreciate the opportunity to come back and answer any questions you might have about the good work we are doing in the Auditor’s Office. Despite many misconceptions, the AOS does not audit individuals, businesses, or collect taxes – we act as the watchdog on those who spend government money. The AOS is the constitutional officer responsible for auditing all of Ohio’s public offices including cities, counties, townships, villages, schools, colleges and universities, as well as state agencies, boards, commissions, and other political subdivisions – in all, over 6,000 units of government. This office ensures that public funds are managed appropriately and expended in accordance with applicable accounting standards and that government works in a lawful, efficient, and effective way. Our dedicated staff of nearly 800 professionals come to work every day intent on making sure no one is wasting or stealing taxpayer money. I inherited a great staff and they are recognized as one of the best in the country. Our mission is to serve the interests of Ohio’s taxpayers by ensuring that their hard earned tax dollars are used in the most responsible way possible. In short, public resources and operations must be managed in an efficient, effective, and transparent way. In addition to financial audits for local governments, we offer other services such as performance audits, fraud investigations, and more.

It makes you feel good that you’ve got some value out of your life and what you’ve done.” MIKE CLEGG 1938-2021 Northeast Ohio Keeping families close® Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Northeast Ohio 42ND ANNUAL PRO-AM GOLF TOURNAMENT Presented by Truline Industries The Ronald McDonald House® Pro-Am Tournament is the longest-running and most successful fundraising event in the history of the Ronald McDonald House of Cleveland, now Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northeast Ohio. This event helps RMHC NEO enhance the healthcare experience for thousands of families and children each year through comfort, care and supportive services. Our sincere thanks to our generous sponsors. PRESENTING SPONSOR UNDERWRITING SPONSORS www.RMHCneo.org Make a difference with us today. Dear Friends, Today is a special day because of a special man. Mike Clegg touched so many lives with his love of life, devotion to family and friends, and of course…his passion for the Ronald McDonald House. Mike’s passion, and now his legacy, was born out of a challenging time in 1977 when his young son, Scotty, was battling leukemia. It was a time when this special man was quoted as saying “No family should go through this.” Scotty eventually beat leukemia, but Mike knew there were still plenty of families battling similar life- changing challenges.

    2015-13 Sakshi Girdhar PhD Thesis The Internationalization of Big Accounting Firms and the Implications on their Practices and Structures: An Institutional Analysis DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS AARHUS UNIVERSITY DENMARK THE INTERNATIONALIZATION OF BIG ACCOUNTING FIRMS AND THE IMPLICATIONS ON THEIR PRACTICES AND STRUCTURES: AN INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS By Sakshi Girdhar A PhD thesis submitted to School of Business and Social Sciences, Aarhus University, in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the PhD degree in Economics and Business May 2015 PREFACE During the period of March 2012 to February 2015, I embarked upon a journey of learning and discovery. As wise men proclaim, “It is the journey that matters the most, not the destination”. And as this journey is coming to an end, I should not forget all the experiences and people that made it possible. Foremost, I am grateful for the financial support provided by Department of Economics and Business, Aarhus University, which made it possible for me to travel abroad for seminars and to gather data for my research. Special thanks go to all the participants of my study for making this research possible. While, several people contributed to this research, I would like to first thank my main supervisor Kim Klarskov Jeppesen at Department of Accounting and Auditing, Copenhagen Business School (CBS), Denmark, for offering invaluable guidance and also for supporting me by co-authoring my first paper. I truly value and admire the patience that he has shown whenever I would approach him with a new idea or, more often, a new question or problem. He has always been encouraging and motivating.
