  • Recruitment Agency Case Study

    1000 Words  | 2 Pages

    Recruitment agencies are a very significant part of employment. It is unfortunate that many job seekers as well as employers tend to overlook these agencies. Recruitment firms can therefore be defined as outside firms that hold the responsibility of finding employees for employers. These are very valuable sources that can serve both the job seekers and job givers in equal measure if used correctly. BIS 2008 explains that most recruitment agencies operate under two types of recruitment. Firstly, there is the temporary contract which is usually flexible on both the employee and the employers’ side. Contract based recruitment vary from a few days to months and some to years. This type of contract however according to BIS 2008, always leads to the candidates become permanent employees in some situations. The other type of recruitment is permanent, whereby the agency helps one to find a job based on their skills matching the requirements of the jobs they have listed. Recruitment agencies are therefore external sources of recruitment that help in the

  • Essay On IFRS

    1820 Words  | 4 Pages

    Small, medium enterprises (SMEs) are largest types business in the world, making up an estimated 99.7% of business. According to the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) there are nearly five million existing businesses in the UK as of 2013. SMEs are a key contributor towards economic growth in terms of creating more employment, stimulating innovation and promoting social unity. SMEs are responsible for 47% of private sector employment, yet despite such global present there is still no agreed definition of a SME (Storey 1994). Bolton (1971) attempted to define them through a statistical and economic analysis. Classifications which are based on criteria, such as number of employees or annual turnover, however, do not remain consistent across borders. Given their size, smaller companies tend to be more intent on survival rather than expansion and profit maximisation. Smaller sized firms have always felt that the current reporting framework for IFRS is tailored more for the needs of larger companies and that the heavy cost burden it imposes upon them may not be entirely justified. In response to these concerns, the IASB subsequently issued the IFRS for Small and Medium-sized Entities (IFRS for SMEs) in July 2009. This standard offers an alternative framework which can be adopted by entities in place of the already extant full set of IFRSs or local national requirement standards.(Holt 2010) This essay will critically evaluate the impact of the IFRS for SME’s and whether or not it stands as the most suitable framework available for SMEs to use.

    An organisation’s mission is the back bone of all strategic decisions; the mission will have an influence on all activities performed within the organisation, because if they aren’t achieving their mission an organisation is failing. The long term strategic goals of an organisation should directly aim to achieve their mission and these goals are what performance can be measured off.
