Deloitte's Insights for CFOs provides financial executives a customized resource to help them address the strategic, operational and regulatory issues they face in managing their finance organizations and careers, with top-line digests, research, perspectives and technical analyses.
With tougher capital requirements planned in the U.S., financial institutions may become even more opportunistic and selective about how they deploy precious capital, including toward M&A. As a result, several regulatory and other issues are emerging as significant to M&A activity in the financial services industry. These issues include considerations of an institution's size, capital structure and liquidity requirements and new areas of focus, such as the Bank Secrecy Act, anti-money laundering and fair lending.
M&A activity in the insurance sector picked up notably over the first half of 2014, and it appears it will hold through the remainder of the year, according to an analysis by Deloitte LLP's Insurance Industry practice. As M&A becomes a bigger piece of insurers' overall growth strategies, prime considerations include addressing gaps in corporate development's target identification and due diligence capabilities, and getting alignment between the board's objectives and M&A plans.
A piecemeal approach to managing and renegotiating software licenses during mergers, acquisitions and divestitures often results in noncompliance issues and unnecessarily high fees. By centralizing all deal-related licensing issues to a single contracts team management can better control licensing costs and focus efforts on ensuring that, on Day 1, all parties to a deal have access to the software they need.
For many technology companies M&A is becoming a preferred strategy to accelerate growth and respond to customer and market needs in the areas of scale, cloud services, mobility and big data. A number of companies are also using M&A to move into new markets, fill product and solution gaps, and accelerate R&D initiatives. However, potential dealmaking headwinds―including new regulations, declining revenue and growth rates, and a shortage of attractive acquisition targets―could slow M&A volume in coming months.
For the first time in years, banks are starting to put M&A back into their strategic plans, thanks to healthy balance sheets, improving market conditions, the search for growth and increasing regulatory clarity. The deal market will likely remain challenging, however, due to other factors, such as the focus on EPS accretion and tangible book value dilution that is limiting the multiples buyers are willing to pay. Regulatory restrictions could continue as a major hurdle, although increased clarity may bring increased confidence.
Many consumer goods companies have been increasing their investments in Latin America recently in an effort to provide products to the region's emerging middle classes. Executives from Owens-Illinois, Inc.; Pactiv LLC; MeadWestvaco Corporation and Tredegar Corporation share their insights about investing in the region, challenges they have encountered and their views on the future of packaging industry opportunities in Latin America.
The pace of M&A is poised to stay strong among public and private firms and for both corporations and private equity firms, according to survey findings in the first annual Deloitte M&A trends report. Of the 2,500 corporate and private equity respondents, 84% of corporate executives anticipate a sustained, if not accelerated, pace of M&A activity in the next 24 months. The vast majority of private equity executives (89%) are expecting average to high deal activity going forward.
As banks continue to face earnings pressures and seek competitive advantage, CFOs and their knowledge of data analytics are going to be central to banks' efforts to raise shareholder value and reposition for growth, according to a report from the Deloitte Center for Financial Services. Bank industry CFOs are being expected to hone their skills in data analytics to deploy capital more efficiently and manage costs to help drive profitability. CFOs looking to create advantages also should consider integrating capital efficiency tools at the business level.
Many companies have the opportunity to increase shareholder value by managing working capital in a more efficient manner, but are often held back by a number of internal challenges. With working capital optimization increasingly on boards' radars, CFOs may want to address those internal challenges to free up cash for M&A and other ways to help fuel growth. Understand the challenges to optimizing working capital and some steps on how to unlock the rewards.
Why are businesses sitting on top of piles of cash, and if business is so profitable, why are they not putting it back into more and better capital investment? Dr. Daniel Bachman, a senior manager for U.S. macroeconomics at Deloitte Services LP, says the problem is confined neither to the current recovery nor to the United States.

A really tough time today. Missing him and just can't clear my head of it. Two more fishing attempts and no reply from me. I know it's the right thing to do, but it's still so hard. He's using any way he can to try and contact me and getting alittle reckless. It's surprising since he was so adamant for thirteen years that there be no trace of me.
I always thought I was so alone in the A, in that I couldn't talk to anyone about it. This is almost worse now that it's over. Still no one to talk to.

The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — Alaska Republicans delivered a split verdict on two of the state's scandal-plagued political leaders Tuesday, propelling Sen. Ted Stevens to an easy primary victory despite his upcoming corruption trial but virtually deadlocking in Rep. Don Young's contest against a reformist challenger.
Stevens took 63 percent of the vote against six opponents, despite being under indictment for allegedly failing to report gifts and favors he received from the former oil-services company VECO and its executives. Stevens, the Senate's longest-serving Republican and an icon in the state, will square off in November against Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich, a Democrat who led by double digits in recent polls.
In the primary for the state's lone House seat, Young led Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell by 152 votes, or 0.16 percent, with 99 percent of precincts reporting Wednesday. "Just looking at those numbers, it's way too early to call the race," Parnell campaign spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton said.
Alaska election law does not provide for an automatic recount except in an exact tie, but it does allow the loser of a contest to request one. It may be three weeks before the process even reaches that point, however.
"We're not going to finish counting absentee and [provisional] ballots until Sept. 5," said Gail Fenumiai, director of the state Division of Elections. "We have thousands of absentee ballots to be counted."
Once the counting is finished, she said, a state board will spend seven to 10 days reviewing the results, a step that is part of every contest, regardless of the margin. The results will be officially certified by Sept. 16 or 17. Only then can the loser request a full recount, which would take at least a few days to complete.
The winner of the Young-Parnell contest will face former state House Minority Leader Ethan Berkowitz, who easily defeated 2006 candidate Diane Benson in the Democratic primary. Based on recent polling, national Republicans are privately gloomy about Young's general-election prospects and believe Parnell has a better chance to hold the seat.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has made the same calculation. It tried late in the race to hurt the challenger's primary campaign by sending out a mailer attacking the "big-taxing" Parnell.
Young, 75, who has served in the House for 35 years, faces multiple investigations. Some are related to a wide-ranging federal corruption probe in the state and another is over a controversial legislative earmark he sponsored to benefit a Florida developer.
He has spent more than $1.2 million in campaign contributions on lawyers, and more from a separate legal defense fund.
Parnell entered the GOP primary in March with the encouragement of Republican Gov. Sarah Palin, who has sought to clean up corruption in the state Republican Party.
Along with political help from Palin, Parnell has received several hundred thousand dollars from the Club for Growth, a fiscal-conservative group.
Stevens, 84, had the easier political challenge Tuesday, but he faces a more difficult legal situation. The longtime senator was indicted last month in the wide-ranging FBI probe of corruption in Alaska politics that already has resulted in several convictions.
He is accused of accepting more than $250,000 in gifts from former VECO executive Bill Allen, who has pleaded guilty to bribery, extortion and other charges.
Stevens has proclaimed his innocence and demanded a speedy trial to clear his name before the election. He is scheduled to go on trial in a U.S. District court in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 22, meaning he will be out of the state — but in the news, unflatteringly — at the height of the general-election campaign.
Stevens expressed confidence Tuesday night that he could prevail. "Alaskans trust me," he said, according to The Associated Press. "This is still a Republican state."

GMO Seed
- On March 04, 2013

Spring is just around the corner, which means ordering seeds and plants tops most gardeners to-do lists at the moment. I grow heirlooms and hybrids, so the pile of catalogs on our coffee table is out of control. Normally, I find ordering seeds a relaxing experience, but this year I've been mulling over a couple of issues that have made placing orders more stressful.
The biggest one concerns GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms). There's been a lot of buzz lately about the need to avoid buying GMO seeds for our gardens, and you've probably seen at least some of the various lists going around touting "safe" seeds. Many people, including me, don't want to buy seed that has been genetically modified. So I was happy to find out from my friend Jeff Gillman, a hort professor at the University of Minnesota, that GMO seed is not yet available to home gardeners.
Farmers have long been able to buy GMO seed, particularly for corn and soybeans, alfalfa and sugar beets. But, at least for now, that seed isn't available to the general public so we can't unwittingly buy them off the shelf or online—unless we pretend to be farmers for some weird reason. So where does the confusion come in? Well, maybe because you can mistakenly buy seeds from Voldemort, I mean Monsanto. And where there is Monsanto, we assume rightly or wrongly, there are GMOs.
How could you mistakenly buy from Monsanto? Well, as you may already know, the company has purchased many independent seed companies in the U.S. and abroad over the years. The biggest coup was in 2005 when Monsanto acquired Seminis, Inc., estimated to control more than 40 percent of the U.S. vegetable seed market and around 20 percent of the world market.Read More»
Arizona's "Junior Grand Canyon"

Why does life need a soundtrack? I wonder this all the time because, as you've probably noticed, you can't buy groceries, shop for clothes, pump gas, eat a meal, ride an elevator or even go to the bathroom without some sort of musical accompaniment. Why is that? Are the designers of public spaces worried about what will happen if we are left alone with our thoughts? Do they suppose that we don't have thoughts?
Or is it that people think we need music in order to conjure up the appropriate emotions for a given situation? This thought came to mind last week when my husband Mike and I were visiting my family in Arizona, and we took a short sightseeing cruise with my dad. We had just taken our seats aboard the Dolly Steamboat for an hour and a half nature cruise around Canyon Lake when the peaceful sound of paddlewheel against water was drowned out by Enya's 1988 hit "Orinoco Flow." Booming out of the boat's crackling speakers, the song was both fittingly epic and completely cheesy in a not altogether disagreeable way. But why not enjoy the sounds of nature on the nature cruise? we groused to each other.
Touted on the brochure as Arizona's "Junior Grand Canyon," Canyon Lake feels like an almost surreal oasis in the middle of the otherwise rocky, dry and cactus-filled Sonoran Desert. And it is, really, since the man-made lake was formed in 1925 when the Mormon Flat Dam trapped water from the Salt River. The steep canyon walls are the main attraction on the tour, and the boat's captain explained how many of the rock formations we could see were the result of volcanic eruptions dating back as far as 15 million years. We brought along binoculars, hoping to see some bald eagles but, instead, we spotted several bighorn sheep defying gravity as they made their way along the face of the cliffs.Read More»
Yes, Okay, Winter Has Some Good Points Too
"I think my garden looks great in winter, especially after a fresh snowfall." That's what Cindy, a reader in Wisconsin, said in an email she sent to me last week. As proof, she attached this magical, postcard-worthy photo of her yard.
As you can see, she is absolutely right, and I wrote her back right away to say so, and to ask permission to post the photo on my blog. Cindy wasn't trying to boast. I think she just wanted to remind me that there's more to winter than smashed ornamental grasses, buried outdoor furniture and yellow snow. And she did concede that, "It's a little easier to landscape for winter in the country than in the city," which it is for a variety of reasons.
Still, while urban dwellers like me aren't likely to experience the kind of snowy backyard wonderland that our more outlying counterparts do, her kind note did motivate me to try to see more beauty in what has so far been a pretty ass-kickingly tough winter. So, let's not focus on the loveliness of my own backyard, which includes this focal point by the driveway.
Instead, behold this amazingly cool Christmas tree made of sphagnum moss and potted orchids and bromeliads that I saw at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum last week.
Outside at the arboretum and down by the lake near my house, there are these sights to behold.
Back inside where it's warm, there's fern frost on the bathroom window.
And a kitty sleeping on the dining room table in the sun.
Hyacinth Bean, Cherry Blossoms and Virtual Garden Tours

It's great to know when a blog post is helpful in some way. So I was happy to hear from lots of you that last week's tour of summer garden photos helped ease the pain of this long, cold winter. And I so appreciate everyone who wrote to help me identify those purple seed pods I posted. I was walking down an alley not far from my house last year and saw that plant poking up over the fence of someone's backyard. I took a few photos of those pretty pods, hoping I could figure out what the plant was and, yes, you are all correct. It is Lablab purpureus, commonly known as hyacinth bean, Egyptian bean or Indian bean.
The vine is native to the tropical areas of Africa where the flowers and beans are a food source. (I got varying reports from people about the actual tastiness of these beans, and some readers cautioned against eating the beans raw.) According to several plant history websites, hyacinth bean was introduced into the American nursery trade in the early 19th century after having been a part of European gardens as far back as the early 1700s.Read More»

I know it's just January and there is much, much more winter to go. But I'm feeling unusually gloomy about all the cold and gray/white everywhere. So rather than stew, I spent some time looking at photos of gardens I've visited over the last couple of years. Seeing all those plants and blue sky cheered me right up. And I hope it helps you, too, if you've got a bit of the winter blues.
So, come on, then. Let's go on a garden tour!
Ah, spring is coming. Whew!

Leachate from Memelhakha landfill site in Thimphu is worrying environmentalists. Leachate is a liquid that drains from a landfill. It is considered toxic and can contaminate ground water and rivers.
Attempts to clean the Mebartsho often prove unsuccessful, largely owing to the lake's location, which renders cleaning not only difficult but also dangerous. However, the Desuups in Bumthang teamed up with the Dzongkhag and the Police and carried out a cleaning campaign at the lake area, last Friday.
August 19 is now marked as the Earth Overshoot Day- the day our ecological footprint in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year, according to the data from the Global Footprint Network.
Bhutan has declared 51 percent of the country as the protected area. However, no comprehensive assessment of the protected areas has been carried out.
According to the World Bank Officials, Bhutan needs to do a lot to improve the weather and flood forecasting system.
Every July, Sarpang Dzongkhag receives maximum rainfall and swollen rivers leave most of the places in the dzongkhag inaccessible. But this year, it is a different story.
The monsoon will arrive in the country in the coming week, forecasts the department of Hydro-Met Services. It is slowly moving upward from Myanmar, expecting to reach the Country by Sunday.

FRIDAY, Sept. 9 (HealthDay News) -- Regular and moderate alcohol consumption in midlife is associated with successful aging in women who survive to older ages, according to a study published online Sept. 6 in PLoS Medicine.
Qi Sun, M.D., Sc.D., from the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, and colleagues investigated the correlation between midlife alcohol consumption and successful aging in U.S. women. Food frequency questionnaires were administered to 13,894 women aged 70 years or older whose health status was continuously updated. Of these, 98.1 percent who were not heavy drinkers (>45g/d) at midlife were included in the analysis. Successful aging was defined as having no major cognitive, physical impairment, or mental health limitations, and being free of 11 major chronic diseases.
The investigators identified successful aging in 1,491 women. After adjusting for potential confounders, light-to-moderate alcohol consumption at midlife correlated with modestly increased odds of successful aging with an odds ratio OR (with 95 percent confidence interval) of 1.11 (0.96 to 1.29), 1.19 (1.01 to 1.40), 1.28 (1.03 to 1.58), and 1.24 (0.87 to 1.76) for those consuming ≤5.0 g/d, 5.1 to 15.0 g/d, 15.1 to 30.0 g/d, and 30.1 to 45.0 g/d of alcohol, respectively. Independent of total alcohol intake, the odds of successful aging were better for women who drank alcohol at regular intervals throughout the week rather than on a single occasion.
"Light-to-moderate alcohol consumption at the levels of one to two drinks/day or slightly less at midlife may benefit overall health at older ages in U.S. women," the authors write.
