The Advantages of Changing a Business Into a Company James wants to change his business into a company; James will receive many benefits if he chooses to take this option. I am going to talk about the main advantages of changing his business into a company which includes the limited liability that James will be entitled to. A company is a business organisation that is registered under the Companies Act 1965[1], this legislation means that the organisation created is subject to different rules. If James incorporates his business into a company it will have two legal effects. The two legal effects are; the company becomes a separate entity or a legal person and secondly the company has perpetual succession which means the company will last until it is liquidated by an order of court. The law treats the persons who own and control the company as separate from the company itself. A company is an artificial person as opposed to a human who is a natural person. Most of the advantages which I am going to talk about stem from this separate entity which is created by means of incorporation. A company does not die but continues to exist until its name is struck off or dissolved through a legal process known as winding up or liquidation even though without any of its stakeholders. Perpetuity is a major advantage of incorporation as the company can live forever even without its stakeholders. In Re Noel Tedman Holding Pty Ltd (1967) the only two shareholders and directors of the company, a husband and wife died in a traffic accident. The company’s articles required the approval of the directors before shares could be transferred.

The banking system in Panama makes use of the advanced modern technologies. In Panama City, there are approximately 100 internationally renowned banks. The presence of strict regulations regarding the banking sector by the government has seen the banking sector grow tremendously (Arboleda & Martín 152). For instance, the Panamanian government has come up with strict banking rules and guidelines, to scrutinize all the banking practices so that the banks can give good banking services to all people. To ensure this occurs, the government has ordered the submission of monthly auditing reports from all the banks to the National bank of Panama and to the Panama’s National Banking Commission. All the depositors in any bank need sureties of their securities,
Staying true to them will guide us toward continued growth and success for decades to come. As you read more about our vision and values, you will learn about who we are, where we’re headed and how every Wells Fargo team member can help us get there.”(Wells Fargo, 1999). The low accountability Wells Fargo has behind their statement makes them look worse after their 2017 scandal. They have a clear indication of how Wells Fargo is supposed to be running the company, but the company has acted in a different manner. It makes you ponder how reliable statements of those at the top of the company are when they speak to the public. Even though Wells Fargo has made vast changes to their management team, one must wonder if they’re way of improving the company has changed over time. Wells Fargo’s replacement CEO for John Stumpf, Tim Sloan, told the Senate Banking Committee that, “[Wells Fargo] is a better bank today than it was a year ago” (White, 2017). A year later, 2017, Wells Fargo has made no significant positive progress toward turning the company back into what it used to be before the
Public relations are the practice of distributing the information between an organisation or individual and the public. The aim of PR practitioners by the client is often is to persuade stakeholders, partners, employees, investors and most importantly, the public. The practitioner’s communication stance is reaching the individuals or organisation ultimate goal. However many can examine and scrutinize public relations ethics to assert a PR problem within the industry. All PR organisations and individuals have a code of ethics of which the professionals are expected to follow. Regardless of these guidelines, ethics in individual practices seem to prove continuous and consistent violation worldwide. The James Hardie Industry, a company that is known for knowingly using products that caused thousands of people throughout Australia to grow to become sick and even resulting in death, from its products that produced massive profits is a prime example of the PR problem. However ethical communication and critically reflective practices are procedures that benefit both the public and the organisation when use correctly, opposite to the James Hardie case.
In 1789 James Madison introduced the Bill of Rights-the first ten amendments of the Constitution, to the First Congress. The Bill was heavily influenced by Virginia’s Declaration of Rights and used primarily to protect the citizen’s rights and liberties as well as, as a limitation on the federal government. The “original Constitution contained few guarantees” for civil rights and liberties therefore, the Bill of Rights strengthened them mitigating fears about the new national government (O’Brien 324). Madison and Anti-Federalists hoped to place the same restrictions on states. They found the Bill of Rights practical, explicit, and essential while Federalists found it unnecessary and potentially dangerous. Hamilton seeks justification against the Bill of Rights using the Constitution’s preamble which briefly notes the “liberty” and “prosperity” afforded to the American people (326). He also argues that the Bill may be dangerous because these exceptions being placed on powers have not yet been granted (326). Nonetheless, in September on 1789, Congress proposed 12 amendments to state legislatures which were shortly ratified thereafter in 1791 (326).
