Accountants harden up the value of company 'soft' stuff

Article Abstract:

There can be considerable challenges associated with valuing businesses, especially in the case of businesses which have few fixed assets. There is now growing pressure for financial reporting to fill the gap between the net assets of a business and the value of a business as a whole. The Institute of Chartered Accountants' financial reporting committee has recommended a 'twin-track' approach. Within this structure, all users, instead of just sophisticated investors, have the chance to assess whether managers are meeting their commitments, while analysts remain free to undertake their own calculations about a company's underlying financial performance.

Connections that can net you a job

Article Abstract:

It is becoming increasingly common to use the Internet to advertise and seek job vacancies. Indeed, a report from National Opinion Polls indicates that more than 1 million Britons are using the Internet to search for jobs. Some online recruitment consultancy services are operated by establish recruitment consultants, while others have been created solely for the Internet. Futurestep, which was only established in the UK in May 1999, already has 9,000 registered candidates.
