Book Synopsis HC 178 - Northern Ireland: Banking on Recovery? - HC 178 by : Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Northern Ireland Affairs Committee
Download or read book HC 178 - Northern Ireland: Banking on Recovery? - HC 178 written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Northern Ireland Affairs Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the reckless high-risk attitude of many banks pre-financial crisis, the pendulum appears to have swung too far back in the opposite direction. Over the past year, the Northern Ireland economy has shown very welcome signs of recovery, with many new jobs recently being announced and the banks themselves showing a return to profitability. The banks need to build on this. It is regrettable that banks such as FTB and Danske, have chosen not to participate in HM Government's Funding for Lending Scheme, thereby potentially denying Northern Ireland further capacity for growth. The banks have assured us they are "open for business": it is essential that they now put their money where their mouth is to help small businesses play their part in Northern Ireland's economic recovery. Customer service and IT services need to improve considerably for banks themselves to really play their part
Book Synopsis The Private Finance Initiative by : Northern Ireland: Northern Ireland Audit Office
Download or read book The Private Finance Initiative written by Northern Ireland: Northern Ireland Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2005-11-10 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This NIAO report examines the delivery of the Electronic Libraries for Northern Ireland (ELFNI) IT system through a Private Finance Initiative (PFI) project. The ELFNI system is intended to improve access to and quality of public library services in Northern Ireland, by ensuring all public libraries have equal access to automated facilities and the internet and access for the general public to e-Government services. The contract is worth £36m and covers a ten-year period which commenced in May 2002. The report does not consider the effectiveness of the ELFNI project but focuses on the methodology used by the project team to secure the best possible deal; the sustainability of the deal over the contract life; and whether issues of future technological changes and income generation have been sufficiently addressed. Overall, the report finds that the procedures leading to the award and implementation of the ELFNI contract were well handled, but whether it will provide value for money to the taxpayer will only become apparent in the longer term.
Book Synopsis Governance Issues in the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment's Former Local Enterprise Development Unit in Relation to the Establishment and Oversight of the Emerging Business Trust Loan and Venture Funds by : Northern Ireland: Northern Ireland Audit Office
Download or read book Governance Issues in the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment's Former Local Enterprise Development Unit in Relation to the Establishment and Oversight of the Emerging Business Trust Loan and Venture Funds written by Northern Ireland: Northern Ireland Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006-02-09 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines major weaknesses in the part played by the former Local Enterprise Development Unit (LEDU) in the establishment and oversight of the Emerging Business Trust (EBT). The ETB was created in 1996 with funds of £3 million provided by the International Fund for Ireland and £0.75 million by LEDU, mainly administering a loan fund. In 2000 EBT also established a venture fund, with a total funding of £0.6 million. EBT voluntarily ceased to carry on business in April 2005, and a liquidator was appointed to wind up the affairs of both the loan and venture funds. Invest Northern Ireland (a development agency which assumed the responsibilities of LEDU in 2002) carried out an investigation, which identified a long list of failings: conflicts of interest, especially involving a LEDU board member who was also a partner in MTF Chartered Accountants who were the managing agents of both funds; LEDU's failure to follow its own procedures; normal public sector rules on competitive tendering were not followed; a high level of bad debt (£1.1 million was written off); insufficient monitoring by LEDU. NIAO finds that many of these failings show non-observance of the Public Accounts Committee's recommendations in its report "The proper conduct of public business" (HC 154, 8th report session 1993-94). The poor standards of administration fell far below the normal standards operating elsewhere in the Northern Ireland public sector. Invest Northern Ireland and the Department have undertaken a number of actions and current corporate governance arrangements are very different. NIAO believes there are lessons of relevance here to the wider public sector.

Download or read book Insolvency and the Conduct of Directors written by and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006-02-02 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report by the Northern Ireland Audit Office examines the effectiveness of Insolvency Service arrangements for administering the legislation on the disqualification of company directors of insolvent companies on the grounds of unfit conduct (including negligence, incompetence or lack of commercial integrity). Conclusions of the report include that there is scope for the Insolvency Service to improve: the performance management of practitioners (both Official Receiver staff and insolvency practitioners) by actively monitoring the number of submissions not filed on time and enforcing targets; the monitoring framework to ensure evidence of unfit conduct is assessed in a consistent manner; and communication arrangements with company directors and dissemination of key information, including drawing up a joint action plan with other parts of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment.

Book Synopsis Tax Evasion and the Law by : Sam Bourton
Download or read book Tax Evasion and the Law written by Sam Bourton and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-18 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a critical and contemporary evaluation of the laws and enforcement policies pertaining to tax evasion in the United Kingdom (UK) and United States (US). Since the inception of taxes, revenue collection authorities around the world have attempted to address the seemingly perennial problem of individuals evading their tax liabilities. The financial crisis has shone a new light on the issue with an increased interest in using the criminal justice system as a means of addressing it in the UK. In sharp contrast to the UK, the US has a strong record of prosecuting crimes of tax evasion, whether committed by individuals or professional corporate facilitators. Providing an evaluation of the UK’s tax evasion laws and enforcement policy, through a comparative approach, this work highlights insights provided by the US experience. In so doing, the book explores the interconnections between tax evasion and money laundering, identifying best practices, omissions, and areas for reform. The work will be a valuable resource for researchers, academics, and policy-makers working in the areas of financial crime, financial law, accountancy and criminal justice.
Book Synopsis Terrorism and the Law by : Clive Walker
Download or read book Terrorism and the Law written by Clive Walker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-03 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrorism law and legal practice has been politically and socially controversial to a degree beyond almost any other legal issue during the past few years, and this analytical text contains extensive analysis of these controversies. Terrorism and the Law offers a thoughtful and up-to-date discussion of all the key materials on terrorism law. It provides comprehensive coverage of all the major domestic, European, and international laws, and their impact on the UK. It also contains an extensive examination of the implementation of these terrorism laws, and of the practical issues they raise. The book contains three Parts. Part I focuses on meanings of 'terrorism' in law and political science. It provides the reader with an understanding of the phenomenon and the legal concept, including its statutory definitions, which is essential to the book's assessment of the strategies and tactics adopted in the codes of laws. It also covers normative constraints, such as human rights. Part II focuses on the United Kingdom law. It provides extensive coverage of the major UK terrorism legislation, such as: the Terrorism Act 2000; the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001; the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005; the Terrorism Act 2006; the Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Act 2006; the Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Act 2007; and the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008. It also examines the key laws and rules relating to terrorism policing and legal processes. It discusses the meaning of these legislative materials, as well as their implementation, and includes reference to case law and practice statements from the police and courts. Part III reflects the impact of European, international and transnational laws and practices, covering international transnational cooperation and extradition, key European Union law measures against terrorism, other international law measures against terrorist activities, and international human rights and terrorism.

Book Synopsis The Financing of Terrorism in Northern Ireland by : Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Northern Ireland Affairs Committee
Download or read book The Financing of Terrorism in Northern Ireland written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Northern Ireland Affairs Committee and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of terrorist fundraising activity in Northern Ireland is changing to include more complex and sophisticated forms of organised crime, such as fuel smuggling and counterfeiting, and is being extended beyond Northern Ireland to the larger and potentially more profitable markets of Great Britain. The Committee's report welcomes the creation of the Organised Crime Task Force for Northern Ireland and its promotion of joint working approaches between law enforcement agencies. It also supports the Government's proposal to establish an Assets Recovery Agency, but states concern that the current plans for the Agency will leave it substantially under-resourced for the scale of the problem it is designed to tackle. A separate volume is available containing the minutes of evidence and appendices to the report, as well as the Government's response to the Committee's 2nd report on the matter (HC 978-II, ISBN 0215003861).

Book Synopsis Report of the Bloody Sunday Inquiry (Hc) by : Lord Saville of Newdigate
Download or read book Report of the Bloody Sunday Inquiry (Hc) written by Lord Saville of Newdigate and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-30 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 29th January 1998 the House of Commons resolved that it was expedient that a tribunal be established for inquiring into a definite matter of urgent public importance, namely "the events on Sunday, 30 January 1972 which led to loss of life in connection with the procession in Londonderry on that day, taking account of any new information relevant to events on that day." On 2nd February 1998 the House of Lords also passed this resolution. With the exception of the last 12 words, these terms of reference are virtually identical to those for a previous Inquiry held by Lord Widgery (then the Lord Chief Justice) in 1972. Both inquiries were conducted under the provisions of the Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921. In his statement to the House of Commons on 29th January 1998 the Prime Minister (The Rt Hon Tony Blair MP) said that the timescale within which Lord Widgery produced his report meant that he was not able to consider all the evidence that might have been available. He added that since that report much new material had come to light about the events of the day. In those circumstances, he announced: "We believe that the weight of material now available is such that the events require re-examination. We believe that the only course that will lead to public confidence in the results of any further investigation is to set up a full-scale judicial inquiry into Bloody Sunday." The Prime Minister made clear that the Inquiry should be allowed the time necessary to cover thoroughly and completely all the evidence now available. The collection, analysis, hearing and consideration of this evidence (which is voluminous) have necessarily required a substantial period of time. The Tribunal originally consisted of The Rt Hon the Lord Saville of Newdigate, a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary, The Hon William Hoyt OC, formerly the Chief Justice of New Brunswick, Canada, and The Rt Hon Sir Edward Somers, formerly a member of the New Zealand Court of Appeal. Before the Tribunal began hearing oral evidence, Sir Edward Somers retired through ill health. The Hon John Toohey AC, formerly a Justice of the High Court of Australia, took his place. Lord Saville acted throughout as the Chairman of the Inquiry.

Book Synopsis Organised Crime and the Law by : Liz Campbell
Download or read book Organised Crime and the Law written by Liz Campbell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organised Crime and the Law presents an overview of the laws and policies adopted to address the phenomenon of organised crime in the United Kingdom and Ireland, assessing the changes to these justice systems, in terms of the prevention, investigation, prosecution and punishment of such criminality. While the notion of organised crime is a contested one, States' legal responses treat it and its constituent offences as unproblematic in a definitional sense. This book advances a systematic doctrinal critique of these domestic criminal laws,laws of evidence and civil processes. Organised Crime and the Law focuses on the tension between due process and crime control, the demands of public protection and risk aversion, and other adaptations. In particular, it identifies parallels and points of divergence between the different jurisdictions in the UK and Ireland, bearing in mind the shared history of subversive threats and counter-terrorism policies. It also examines the extent to which policy transfer is evident in the UK and Ireland in terms of emulating the United States in reacting to organised crime.
