Senator Franklin Drilon, chairman of the Senate committee on finance, said P53 billion of the budget will go to personal services while P39.7 billion will be spent for pensions.
Drilon said P19.8 billion will be earmarked for maintenance and other operating expenses, while only P5.4 billion will go for capital outlay.
At the budget hearing, DND Secretary Voltaire Gazmin said the P15 billion annual budget for the AFP Modernization Program (AFPMP) will be sourced from the GAA.
However, Drilon said the DND may face a budgetary-related problem since the GAA has limitations like the budget deficit.
With this, he said it obviously cannot provide in full the P75 billion requirements for the upgrade of the AFP in five years in order to balance internal security and territorial security concerns.
Under the 2013 budget, only P5.4 billion is earmarked for the AFPMP while the other P9.6 billion is lodged under the Unprogrammed Fund portion in the budget in which the release is subject to the availability of funds, noted Drilon.
The release of this P9.6 billion will depend upon the level of deficit we will be incurring. If there is enough fiscal space, that can be funded, but if not, we have to look for other means to fund this equally important endeavor, explained Drilon.
I challenge (DND) Secretary (Voltaire) Gazmin and the rest of the DND officials including the AFP to look for other source of funds, he said.
Drilon said the DND can utilize vast military camps throughout the country by making them productive and use the proceeds to fund the AFP modernization program.
We support the modernization program of the AFP. We just have look for funding in order that we can have some credible degree of acquisition of defense equipment to defend our territory, he noted.
Drilon said it is not only the sale but the utilization of the country military camps like the 48-hectare Fort Magsaysay camp and 30,000-hectare Hamindan camp in Panay can be the source of funds.
For his part, Gazmin said the DND has already formed a committee that will look into all military properties that the can be sold or leased to raise funds for the program.
Drilon, meanwhile, commended the Philippine Veterans Affairs Office (PVAO) administrator Ernesto Carolina for undertaking reforms that resulted to P4.2 billion per year savings since 2010.
Carolina told the committee that fraudulent claims have been eliminated by having the pension funds paid through the banks rather than through postal system.
When we totally shifted from the postal delivery system to direct remittance to the banks, we were able to save P4.2 billion. We used the system also in paying the total administrative disabilities (TAD) arrears, Carolina said.
Under the bank remittance system, Carolina said the PVAOs commitment to TAD arrears for the living World War III veterans has drastically reduced from P8.5 billion to only P3.53 billion.
I must commend the PVAO for the effort that they have taken to make sure that only the legitimate pensioners and veterans would be provided benefits under the law, Drilon said.
Also on the issue of veterans, Drilon said the DND and AFP has formed a committee which will look into a new system wherein the pension funds of the uniform personnel will be integrated into the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS).
When we integrate our uniform personnel into the GSIS, we have to have one time seed fund of about P3.1 trillion because this is needed in order to fund liabilities on the basis of the benefits that are being enjoyed by our pensioners today, he said.
During the press briefing, Gazmin confirmed the AFP plan to acquire fighter jet from Italy but source of funds remain the problem.
It is ongoing. It is in the stage of sort of signing. We are looking it a very serious but we have to considered the source of funds, Gazmin said.
He said the DND needs at least P75 billion to upgrade and modernize the AFP in order for the government to build a credible degree of defense at par with other neighboring countries. (PNA)

Italian animation studio Mondo TV released second-quarter revenue reports, which were up 250% to 6.7 billion lire (US$2.94 million).

The big gains are attributed to the firm's increasing presence in Asia and its new co-production deal with Seoul-based Hahn Shin Corporation.

Hi everyone,
So I'm restoring an old Raleigh 3 speed, and the tires had a ton of rot on them. I pulled out the tube and the nylon type of material inside the rim also has been rotted to the core. My assumption is that stuff is in there for a reason (to protect the tube from the spoke screws?), so I'm guessing I should replace it. Am I right? If so, do I get it at the LBS or can I get it at a fabric store?

Ladders damage cars on Interstate 89April 28,2013Vehicles damaged
by ladders on I-89
SHARON — Extension ladders that somehow ended up in the middle of the Interstate 89 northbound lane Friday afternoon damaged two vehicles but caused no injuries, according to Vermont State Police.
Police were called to a section of the divided highway near mile marker 15 just before 5:30 p.m. after two vehicles struck the ladders.
Police didn't say how the items came to be in the roadway, but indicated it may have been unintentional.
While the damage to the two cars was minimal, police said reminded motorists that failing to properly secure items while driving on public highways could result in a ticket and fine of up to $1,191.MORE IN This Just InLike the rest of you, Ive spent the past week immersed in the local conversation about welcoming...

Green Mountain Graduates 186 Students; College President Declares Climate Neutrality
POULTNEY, Vt., May 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Green Mountain College President Paul Fonteyn announced today at the school's 174th commencement ceremony that the 700-student Vermont liberal arts school has achieved climate neutrality. GMC becomes the second climate neutral campus in the nation and the first to achieve it through a combination of efficiency, large-scale adoption of clean energy, and purchase of local carbon offsets. "We take special pride that this milestone has been achieved mostly by steep reductions in our carbon footprint here on campus, and through purchasing carbon offsets that directly benefit our Vermont economy," said GMC president Paul J. Fonteyn.The announcement was made before an audience including 186 graduates, their friends and families, and Vermont governor Peter Shumlin, who delivered the commencement address and received an honorary doctor of laws degree. Other honorary degree recipients included journalist Tom Wicker, whose influential "In the Nation" column ran in the New York Times from 1966 through 1992, and businessman Robert H. Young, recently retired as president and CEO of Central Vermont Public Service Corporation (CVPS). Under Young's leadership, CVPS created the Cow Power program, which extracts methane gas from manure on Vermont dairy farms and converts it into electricity. Green Mountain became one of the first Cow Power customers in 2006. Cow Power participants pay a premium of 4 cents per kilowatt-hour and money generated by the program funds grants to local dairy farmers to develop on-farm generation capacity. In his address, Governor Shumlin told graduates "You have a responsibility that your parents and I never had–you wake up every day knowing that if you don't finds ways to reduce our addiction to fossil fuel that your planet won't be livable for your kids and grandkids. That's kind of a big one. At a time in America when some politicians refuse to acknowledge climate change, you have the tools and skills to combat climate change."

Llama brought Fella to the door and once they stepped in, all of the staff screamed, "HOLY CRAP!" Fella was so shocked that he instantly pooped.

Our guide Bruno was outstanding! He was knowledgeable, interesting, patient, and funny. The trip was well planned and we saw wonderful sites and learned interesting history. I highly recommend this bike tour!
A great experience and wonderful way to see some of the sites of Rome. This is a very professional operation. I was a little nervous about navigating Roman traffic on bikes with my 9-year-old. We were in the best of hands in every way - our charming and knowledgable guide, Bruno, kept us safe and entertained. Ask for him as your guide and you will be glad you did.
Excellent, well organised, informative and good quality bikes. This was the highlight of our trip to Rome, tiring afternoon but saw so much and the stop for cheese and wine was lovely. Thoroughly recommend this.
absolutely fantastic! best way to explore the outskirt of the ancient city. the tour was very easy with eBikes and still easy with a normal mountain bike if you cycle regularly. to see the appian way and the aqueducts on the bike was magical. the stop at the farm on the way back was perfectly positioned and timed. We had the best cheese ever and enjoyed chatting and getting to know the other cyclists - a definite highlight of the tour. If you have an afternoon in Rome without any plans this is the thing to do. the starting point is very close to the Colosseum.
This tour was awesome!!! It was the highlight of our trip for many of us. Our guide, Jesse was amazing, and we did put him through a lot. It was wonderful to be out in the countryside riding and seeing how the locals spend their Sunday afternoon. We saw sites most tourist don't get to see. Jesse was very informative telling us about the history of the Appian Way along with the other sites we saw. All the regular stops, along with the unexpected ones gave us a chance to take a breath and soak in the surroundings around us. This is a great way to see many interesting sites, but be warned , this is a long and sometimes difficult ride. Prepare yourself, not for novice riders!! If you are, use the e-bikes. Thank you Jesse for taking such good care of us. I know we gave you a few first experiences. We had such a great time and we all talk highly of our bike ride in Rome. I hope to do it again some day!!
This was much better than the city tour. It was a really fun way to see parts of Rome and the surrounding area that I would not have seen otherwise. Also, aside from the catacombs tour, you really get away from the tourists and see a side of Rome the locals see.
I encountered a bike accident early on the tour. It was no fault of anyone. It just happened. The guide, Matteo was wonderful. He was careful and protective of us as we rode at a slow pace through Rome to get to the Park. It was a freak thing that I got thrown of the bike. I needed to go to the hospital. Matteo made me feel safe. The group waited till the ambulance came. Matteo secured my camera. I needed attention to a cut on my left brow and a bruise on the palm of my hand. Everyone was very nice and patient. I was traveling alone. When I was released a little later I was feeling shakey but returned to the bike tour office and the staff was so nice. They gave me juice and water and chatted with me till I left and they called me a taxi. Fleurin, at the office came to my hotel in the evening after hours to return my camera! I was departing Rome the next morning and unable to go back for my camera. They were all so wonderful! I feel badly that I missed the bike tour. The bike tour company and Viator agreed to return my money since I did not get to enjoy the tour. I would love to return to Rome and complete the tour sometime in the future. Thank you!
this was awesome but not for the novice bike rider the computer bike was outstanding!!! we saw beautiful sites and while I was afraid of the traffic, allessandra was amazing at keeping it all very safe. I loved it. she was so attentive-I fell of my own accord off the bike and she was promptly there with a first aid kit/washing the area and putting bandaid on.. so kind. the catacombs were gorgeous and the appertif of cheese bread and drink was much needed and loved by all. I would do this again in a minute-I must say top notch equipment from the bike to helmet to the computer-wow. definitely recommend this for a nice change of pace
Highlight of my trip to Italy! Our guide was great, very knowledgeable and energized. I will recommend this as a must do for anyone visiting Rome. It was my second time visiting Rome and it was a game changer - I fell in love with the city!
Wonderful way to see Rome. The Catacomb tour and Sheep farm were highlights of our trip. Our guide was engaging and informative!!
Excellent bikes, fantastic guide and beautiful trip!
Our family of four including two sons 11 and 16 took the Ancient Appian way, Catacombs and Countryside bike tour in March, 2015. We could not have been more pleased with the guide or the bikes. The tour includes all aspects of life in Rome - historical sites, local parks, countryside, regular neighborhoods and some routine streets of Rome. We thought that was a nice bonus. Matteo was our guide and he was full of knowledge he was happy to share, very considerate of the bikers needs and levels, and was very personable and fun to be around. This was the highlight of our 11 tour of Italy and would not consider going back to Rome without booking another excursion with them.
excellent trip. Easy to imagine sharing the Appian Way with the ancient romans. Terrific countryside, informative, a wonderful relaxed day out. all the eaquipment was good .
Great tour, although it was much, much easier than i anticipated. Our tour guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and very conscientious about ensuring that everyone on the tour was safe and accounted for as we rode through the traffic in Rome. As well, the bikes were in great condition which we both appreciated.
I understand you used to offer a longer, more ambitious ride up to a lake in the hill. Sounds like it would be a great ride! Sorry it's not available, but i will check next time we are in Rome in case you decide to offer it again.
Awesome, but please if you are not physically fit enough to go up and down hills over uneven and rough terrain at fairly brisk pace avoid this tour. Tour guide was awesome, equipment was great, would do it all over again :)
This was our favorite tour in Rome! We had permanent smiles on all day...the bikes were great and our tour guide Bruno was amazing!! We had a great group with us and ending at the farm for wine and cheese was so awesome! I would definitely suggest this tour to anyone going to Rome.
Great slow- paced tour. Lots of traffic around Rome, but our guide, Bruno, made sure we were safe and all together. Mountain bikes are a must since the old cobblestones have many ruts and much of the tour is off road.
Great tour!
Excellent tour with an excellent guide. Highly recommended for those with a thirst for adventure.
Bruno our guide was very good and made the tour very interesting. Some good cycling along with interesting sights and a nice cheese, wine and bread stopover at the farm made for a good day.
I'm sorry I don't remember our guide's name but he was very nice and informative. It was so enjoyable to be out in the country and away from the noise and crowds of the city. It's amazing how quickly we were out of the city. (We did this excursion early on a Sunday morning so there was very little traffic leaving the city in the morning. Nice!) I enjoyed the catacomb tour and thought the Appian Way was beautiful. It was cool to stop under the intact portion of the aqueduct. The cheese and wine break was quite welcome. We'd worked up an appetite by then. One comment would be to warn folks that the ride was not for beginners. I don't ride mountain trails normally and there was some short single track spots where it was tricky for a non-mountain biker like myself. All in all, it was a great tour.
This your was a nice break from the city! Totally worth our time!
Stacey Canada
Great bikes, great guide, lots to see, we even had wine and cheese just before the end of the tour.
This tour will linger as the sweetest memory of my stay in Rome! Francesco was COOL and quite knowledgable, he dissected lots of archaeological sites along the way that would have been missed if I had rented the bike on my own. A teammate had a flat tire. Francesco had it fixed in no time. The 6 hour ride was a bliss, never felt rushed and throughly enjoyed the ride. Bikes are fabulous. The Appian way extends beyond 2300 years of history, echoes and glory. Don't miss it!
Don't think twice. Just go for it :)
I enjoyed this tour a lot. Great to get out of the city and into the countryside. The tour guide was very knowledgable and seemed to enjoy himself as much as we did. I reccommend doing this tour!

Emerging environmental problems, irreversible remedies, and myopia in a two country setup
[eng] As development proceeds, the demand for environmental protection increases. We study optimal investment decision rules when protection investments are irreversible and indivisible. We show that myopia (focusing on one particular outlay without considering investments that are to come later in the sequence or are to be made by another jurisdiction) does not lead to errors in timing but greatly simplifies decision analysis. In a two country setup where each outlay benefits both countries, we also find that the equilibrium time sequence that arises when both countries must take turns to invest is also an equilibrium when the order is endogenous. [fre] Avec la croissance apparaissent de nouveaux besoins de protection de l'environnement. Nous étudions les règles d'investissement optimales lorsque les décisions sont irréversibles et les dépenses indivisibles. Une attitude myope consistant à ne prendre en compte que les données immédiates du problème sans considération des investissements futurs ni de ceux d'autres juridictions simplifie énormément l'analyse et mène dans certains cas aux décisions optimales. Dans un modèle à deux pays où chaque pays bénéficie des investissements de l'autre, la chronologie d'investissement choisie lorsque les pays doivent investir tour à tour constitue également un équilibre lorsque l'ordre d'intervention est endogène.

A high water table and uncontrolled stormwater drainage have delayed a proposed luxury apartment development on Columbus' westside.
As city officials wait a month for more information from apartment developers, indications are this proposal may become a test of how city officials will approach development requests on the city's outskirts in the future, where agriculture uses in the county and near the city are colliding with commercial business interests.
If there were to be a test case, the parcel proposed for the Flats of Columbus, based on its current zoning and that of nearby neighbors, could be an example of the types of compromise and flexibility that will be needed.
The Flats of Columbus is aptly named — the proposed 130 one-story luxury apartments are planned for a flat parcel in the 100-year floodway fringe near Menard's home-improvement center. The proposal from Ohio-based Redwood Acquisition will now be considered by the city plan commission in March. On Wednesday, nearby neighbors, including farmers, gave objections about the project for a variety of reasons — but it was a drainage and stormwater runoff issue that sealed the delay.

Omeros Identifies Small Molecules For Class B GPCR
SEATTLE, Jan. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Omeros Corporation (NASDAQ: OMER) today announced that its proprietary Cellular Redistribution Assay (CRA) technology, which to date has successfully "unlocked" 46 of the 80 total Class A orphan G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) for drug development, has identified small molecules that interact with a Class B GPCR. Like the Class A GPCRs, Class B receptors are important players in a broad range of disorders, having been linked to various types of cancer (e.g., breast, brain, prostate, kidney, liver, pancreatic and gastrointestinal); multiple sclerosis, attention deficit-hyperactivity, learning and memory impairments, depression and other neuropsychiatric disorders; multiple metabolic disorders including diabetes and obesity; immunologic disorders; osteoporosis and infertility. Of the 49 Class B GPCRs, 34 are orphans. An orphan receptor is one for which there is no known ligand, or functionally active molecule. In developing drugs against a given receptor, ligands are used as templates for medicinal chemistry and, without them, drug development is extremely difficult.In addition to continuing its screening of Class A orphan GPCRs, Omeros has begun screening orphan and non-orphan Class B receptors. Of the non-orphan Class B receptors, the Company will prioritize those for which there are already commercially successful drugs – peptide or protein drugs that require intravascular or intramuscular injection. Class B GPCRs have large extracellular domains and their natural ligands are generally large peptides, making the development of orally active, small-molecule drugs against these receptors, such as glucagon and parathyroid hormone (PTH), a persistent challenge. Despite the fact that oral agents are not available, the markets for the Class B GPCR-targeting peptide drugs are large, with sales of PTH drugs alone, for example, exceeding $1 billion annually. Omeros' CRA technology finds functionally active small molecules for GPCRs, and could lead to the development of oral medications for many of the Class B GPCRs. "We continue to demonstrate the strength of our CRA technology and our team's expertise in unlocking orphan GPCRs," stated Gregory A. Demopulos, M.D., chairman and chief executive officer of Omeros. "While we continue our efforts to increase the number of our unlocked Class A receptors, establishing the intellectual property position around each, our ability to identify small molecules for Class B receptors further expands our GPCR platform and our partnering opportunities. The promise of developing orally active drugs against a class of receptors that have been, by necessity, largely served by peptides and proteins, is exciting, particularly for those Class B GPCRs whose biology has already been validated by marketed drugs." Ongoing GPCR ProgramOmeros is screening orphan and difficult-to-drug Class A and Class B GPCRs against its small-molecule chemical libraries using its proprietary, high-throughput cellular redistribution assay (CRA). The CRA detects receptor antagonists, agonists, inverse agonists and allosteric modulators for a given GPCR without requiring the receptor's ligand or any knowledge of the receptor's signaling pathway(s). Omeros has announced that it has identified and confirmed sets of compounds that interact selectively with 46 Class A orphan receptors linked to metastatic melanoma (GPR19), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and obesity-related type-2 diabetes (GPR39), hepatocellular carcinoma (GPR80), several types of cancer (GPR65/TDAG8), squamous cell carcinoma (GPR87), ovarian cancer (GPR150), pancreatic cancer (GPR182), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (P2Y8/P2RY8), ovarian and prostate cancer (OGR1), arterial stiffness (GPR25), sleep disorders (OPN4), cognitive disorders (GPR12), torpor or "suspended animation" and bipolar disorder (GPR50), anxiety disorders (GPR31), schizophrenia (GPR52, GPR153), autism (GPR63), bipolar disorder and schizophrenia (GPR78), memory and inflammatory conditions (GPR83), psychotic and metabolic disorders (GPR27, GPR85, GPR173), cognition (GPR151), cognitive impairments (MAS1), inflammatory responses (GPR32), obesity and diabetes (GPR21), appetite control (GPR82, GPR101), immunological disorders (CCRL2), rheumatoid arthritis and HIV-mediated enteropathy (GPR15), respiratory and immune disorders (GPR141), humoral immunity (GPR183), multiple sclerosis (GPR17), osteoarthritis (GPR22), motor control (GPR139), congenital cataracts and birth defects of the brain and spinal cord (GPR161), regulation of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation (GPR171), cancer stem cells and the self-renewal and maintenance of adult stem cells (LGR4), long-term wound repair, including the formation of new hair follicles (LGR6) and pain (MRGE). In addition, Omeros has unlocked GPR20, GPR45, GPR135, GPR162, MRGF and OPN5, which have not yet been definitively tied to any specific indications but are expressed preferentially in the gastrointestinal tract (GPR20), brain (GPR45, GPR135 and GPR162) and eye, brain, testes, spinal cord (OPN5) and dorsal root ganglia (MRGF). About G Protein-Coupled ReceptorsGPCRs, which mediate key physiological processes in the body, are one of the most valuable families of drug targets. According to Insight Pharma Reports, GPCR-targeting drugs represent 30 to 40 percent of marketed pharmaceuticals. Examples include Claritin® (allergy), Zantac® (ulcers and reflux), OxyContin® (pain), Lopressor® (high blood pressure), Imitrex® (migraine headache), Reglan® (nausea) and Abilify® (schizophrenia, bipolar disease and depression) as well as all other antihistamines, opioids, alpha and beta blockers, serotonergics and dopaminergics. The industry focuses its GPCR drug discovery efforts mostly on non-sensory GPCRs. Of the 363 total non-sensory GPCRs, approximately 240 have known ligands (molecules that bind the receptors) with nearly half of those targeted either by marketed drugs (46 GPCRs) or by drugs in development (about 80 GPCRs). There are approximately 120 GPCRs with no known ligands, which are termed "orphan GPCRs." Without a known ligand, drug development for a given receptor is extremely difficult.

State-owned land blocks more than county roadway
Published: Thursday, May 22, 2008 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 at 9:21 p.m.
Nearly $1 million has been spent so far on a second county road from Coker to a school under construction in rural southwest Tuscaloosa County, but it appears that money may have been a waste.
Tuscaloosa County has begun preliminary design and engineering work, and started to appraise the value of property along the right of way for a new County Road 2. Earlier this month, a bitterly divided county commission voted to use its power of eminent domain to acquire about half of the parcels along the road's path.
Somewhere along the way, however, county officials neglected to check in with the one property owner whose property they cannot seize: the state Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation.
That department owns several tracts directly in the path of the new road and the county has no power to condemn state property.
The mental health department owns at least 75 parcels totaling about 6,000 acres in Tuscaloosa County. Obviously, there is a need for enough land for mental health institutions, such as Bryce Hospital, in Tuscaloosa. But 667 acres of wooded hills and hollows along Romulus Road?
Or 836 acres on Upper Columbus Road in rural west Tuscaloosa County?
Or prime real estate on Lake Tuscaloosa?
Or various small parcels along McFarland Boulevard and near Rice Mine Road that have frustrated developers and city planners?
Tuscaloosa has a long, proud history as the center of mental health services for Alabama. It began when the city was still the state capital. In the early years, mental hospitals were expected to be largely self-sustaining so they needed lots of land. Patients grew the food they ate on farms. Timber and leases provided a cash flow. At times, when patients couldn't pay for services in cash, they deeded land.
The shape of mental health services has changed with the landscape. Fewer patients are institutionalized and more services are community based. Meanwhile, Tuscaloosa has grown. Remnant parcels from those former farms now lie along highways and between subdivisions.
It is time to reassess what land and facilities the department continues to need to best meet the needs of the people it serves.
That may mean getting some property back on the tax rolls and open for development. It may also mean allowing for the expansion of the University of Alabama, which sits next to the vast campus of Bryce Hospital.
The question of a new County Road 2 may be moot, however. A revised cost estimate seems to put it out of reach. The price tag was initially put at $5.6 million. This week, the county's consultant revised that to nearly $15 million.
Already, we had been skeptical that the cost was justified. The superintendent of the Tuscaloosa County School System says the road is not necessary for the new school, which will open for students in grades 6 through 12 in the fall of 2009.
As for the road, we wish the county commissioners who pushed for this had looked more carefully before they leaped and cost taxpayers nearly $1 million.
The question of surplus state land remains relevant and needs a comprehensive examination.

The Bill, introduced on 31 July 2012, will replace the current Financial Reporting Act. It outlines the substantive changes to the financial reporting requirements of entities operating in New Zealand and includes consequential amendments to many other Acts.
The aim of the amendments is to improve the financial reporting system by reducing compliance costs and to streamline the financial reporting requirements for entities required to prepare general purpose financial statements.
The overriding principle is to ensure that external users who have a need for an entity's financial statements have access to that information when they are unable to demand it.
It should be noted that the financial reporting requirements for Issuers remain largely unchanged, but will likely be included in the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2011. The discussion below focuses on companies other than issuers.
Requirement to prepare financial statements
The requirement to prepare general-purpose financial statements will apply to:
In addition:
Requirement to audit financial statements
The audit requirement applies to the same companies as noted above and the same opt-in and opt-out provisions apply.
Requirement to register financial statements
The registration requirement for overseas companies has been consequentially restricted to large overseas companies and large companies with 25 % overseas ownership (consistent with the current requirements).
In addition, any company that is a subsidiary of an overseas entity and that is required to prepare financial statements must register its financial statements.
Initial thoughts about the impact on other entities
Charities will be required to prepare financial information in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice. Currently, there are no requirements for the content of this financial information.
Large partnerships will have to prepare financial information in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice. This information should be audited unless the partnership opts out of compliance by passing a resolution by partners who together have contributed at least 95% of the capital.
We will provide a detailed overview of the impacts on other types of entities in a future newsletter or on our website.
Our view
We welcome the streamlining of financial reporting requirements across a range of entities. However, we had hoped that the Bill would bring together all of the financial reporting requirements for many different entities into one place, resulting in the easy and consistent application of financial reporting legislation in New Zealand.
However, the approach taken by the Bill is to include all of the substantive reporting requirements scattered throughout sector, industry and entity specific Acts, leaving only the core financial reporting principles and definitions in the new Financial Reporting Act 2012.
Therefore, to find the financial reporting requirements relating to companies, preparers of financial statements will need to look at the Companies Act 1993; for the requirements relating to retirement villages then these are included in the Retirement Villages Act 2003 and so on. This approach, together with the various opt-out provisions, has not brought the clarity of reporting requirements that we were hoping for.
What's next?
The Bill will process through Parliament before it becomes law which will be on a date specified by the Governor-General by Order in Council, but this will be by 1 April 2015 at the latest. Until then, there is no change to companies' financial reporting requirements. However, the accounting standards that companies can choose to apply are already changing (refer to Reporting News 12RN06 for more detail).
KPMG will keep you updated as developments occur. We will issue further updates in respect of the impacts of the Bill once we have looked at its provisions in detail.
