Answer 1 :
No, because they neglected to install proper meters. They have no idea how much is being lost. This means they don't know how much oil flow through the pipes compared to how much came out at the end. I heard this on NPR
Answer 2 :
What do you think? No, obviously!
Answer 3 :
ever been to iraq? if the answer is yes, then go back there and look at the country and ask that again.....if no....then dont worry about it. there are to many iraqis and soldiers bleeding to death everyday to worry about oil.
Answer 4 :
Sure, there is no accounting because they did not take any.
Answer 5 :
If they took Oil for the next Ten years it wouldn't compensate them enough for the loss of Human Life and War Materials......
Answer 6 :
If they did that Halliburton and Big Oil Companies will have to show how much they have stolen and pilfered under the pretext pf re-building IRAQ????????. No that will NEVER happen under the crooked administration of GW BUSH !!!
Answer 7 :
i`ve heard shell,esso and bp are trying to keep oil reserves for next 30 years.
Answer 8 :
The USA is the occupying power and takes what it likes and that means everything and anything. I spoke to a tanker Captain and he said every drop of oil loaded at Basrah goes direct to the USA. (currently approx 3million BPD) USA officials run the Oil Ministry in Baghdad and the Ministry is surrounded by US troops. The only clearing bank in Iraq (TBI) is run by the USA (JP Morgan) the other Iraq banks cant get a licence. The Iraqi Central Bank (CBI) has no money and cannot issue guarantees etc it must use TBI who do not cooperate. The whole issue is a disgrace and a pure capitalist and imperialist exploitation of Iraq, one of the oil richest countries in the world where currently its people have no water, food, electricity, eduction or jobs. Where they cannot trace billions of dollars that are missing? All thanks to the new puppet government installed by the USA. The answer to your question: NO and they never will or they would have to admit to theft of a nations assets and would have to repay it.
Answer 9 :
The US is doing the pilfering - its main unstated reason for the war in Iraq.

Accounting issues in Romania?
Accounting issues in Romania?
Im currently doing a report on whether or not to invest in Romania and part of the task is to analyse accounting issues. Does anyone have an idea of what accounting issues would be when considering an investment in an emerging economy, particularly Romania. Any ideas to get me started would be great!

Answer 1 :
Don't bog yourself down with such minute issues like accounting methods. Just remember that about 10% of the money will be required to be spent on miscellaneous greasing of hands...don't worry, nothing mob related...it's just the way things are done over there. Other than that...GO FOR IT. Romania has experienced a major upswing in just about every facet of the economy. Real Estate is still hot, development of factories, shopping malls and office buildings is en vogue. You have a very educated workforce, which is also street smart, and is dedicated to doing well and competing with Western Europe in production and earnings. Since Romania joined the EU, they are also building new infrastructure to help along the hot economic environment. Also, the EU will not let them play around with unorthodox accounting methods (except for my explanation above) so you will encounter a very professional and savvy business practices. I would recommend you find an International Accounting firm working in Bucharest or any of the major cities if you're worried. So, get the money ready and invest. Given the state of the DOW, even a small return is better than taking a blood bath. Ciao.
Answer 2 :
I don’t know about specific issues relating to Romania but I would suggest developing countries would have less formal regulation and enforcement of the accounting standards which means it would be difficult to tell if a set of accounts gave a true and fair view of the actual financial position of a company which would make it hard to evaluate whether you could achieve a good return on your investment. Companies may present their P&L and B/S in different formats also which would make comparisons very difficult. Hope this helps a little to get you started.

i am at uni and my friend is doing this degree. well best to get a laptop because you never find any spare computers at uni. and always get books for quotes first as just before the deadlines all the good books go from the library. good luck
Answer 2 :
I am doing a foundation Degree in a different subject to you and I have not got a lap or anything like that. I just use the computer that I have at home and the ones at University. The work is hard and the rewards are great. My tutor once said the me "you are at university, the work is hard, get used to it if you want your cap and gown". I have just passed my first year. This is the biggest achievement for me because I am Deaf. Good look in your studies.

Answer 1 :
screw the UK we need you here in the good ol USA
Answer 2 :
Search the job ads in the online versions of the newspapers, then apply. Alternatively, you might try to get hired by an American company with business in Britain.
Answer 3 :
Join the army. It's bound to be our turn to be invaded eventually
Answer 4 :
christ ....we all want out!!! ITS A RIGHT SHIT HOLE OVER HERE!
Answer 5 :
Sorry about this my friend but if you have a accounting degree I'm sure you don't need our help ,you mus have lots of friends who advise you,this is not the place for you as we are just mere mortals on this site
Answer 6 :
Don`t come here, this country is well and truly f***ed up.
Answer 7 :
to be honest with you your degree will pay you more by not comming here . it is a hard place to make a living just now, but if your set on trying it. you should go on the net and find accounting companies whom are recuiting.. please dont belive the hype. its not good here at all. several of my friends accounting buisness'es have gone under lately
Answer 8 :
Create your CV and upload it to the job search sites below, dozens of angencies will start emailing you their clients vacancy's. You will need a work visa stamped into your passport in order to get a National Insurance Number from the Governments JOB Centre plus Department as your employer will not employ you without it. If you can't get a work visa you could do freelance contract work. Some of the Job agency's will employ you and send you out to various clients if you can convince them that your work visa is comming in a few months once your application is approved. (tell them you are getting unlimited right to remain visa as a partner of a UK citizen) I know somone who did this for 6 months before they insisted on seeing the proof and then they were let go until the right visa was issued. The e-Cvs will send your CV to 1000's of recruitment agencys once a month, their service costs about $150 for their all in package. I used them and got good results. http://www.e-cvs.net/ http://www.Fish4jobs.co.uk http://www.Thegrocer.co.uk http://www.RetailCareers.co.uk http://www.jobjobbed.com/ http://www.totaljobsmail.co.uk http://www.monster.co.uk http://www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk/JCP/index.html http://www.search.co.uk
Answer 9 :
Exactly the same way you would find work in the US. Online job listings, researching the relevant recruitment companies, making contacts with recruiters, be prepared for a lot of 4am phone calls to london offices. The other way is to find work with a US multinational, base yourself in the US for a few years, then apply for a transfer overseas.
Answer 10 :
Should be easier for you to find employment here in the U.S., especially after the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
