"Brian Kesinger Brian Kesinger is an American illustrator , author and animator who has worked at Walt Disney Studios for some 16 years . His works are steeped in Victorian steampunk art . Born into a family of musicians , he was the only one not able to play an instrument . His fondness for drawing was so apparent that his parents supported his artistic training throughout his school days . He started drawing steampunk art long before the term was coined . In 2000 he did the layout and background design for Walt Disney 's film Atlantis : The Lost Empire . It was during this period that he developed a fondness for drawing submarines , gears and similar gadgets . Following this he became involved with the film Treasure Planet and grew to like tall ships and sci-fi . Other films he has worked on include Winnie the Pooh , Tarzan , Tangled , Chicken Little , Home on the Range , Bolt and Meet the Robinsons . Brian Kesinger was raised on a steady diet of Walt Disney creations by parents who felt it important for him to be exposed to art . He was accepted at the Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank , California during his senior year at high school , becoming in 1996 at age 18 the youngest animator in the history of the company . He started as a layout artist on the film Tarzan and in his career with Disney Animation has filled many positions ranging from visual development to story artist . In 2011 he received the Annie Award for his story work on Disney 's Prep and Landing , with his most recent film at Disney being the Academy Award-nominated Wreck-It Ralph . In Wreck-It Ralph Kesinger 's voice is used for the Cyborg , a character based on ` Kano ' from Mortal Kombat . Away from his office he has created fantasy steampunk worlds peopled with memorable characters under the banner of `` Tea Girls '' , illustrations using tea-stain washes and finished in ink and watercolours , including a portrait of steampunk chanteuse Veronique Chevalier . Two of his most popular characters are the unlikely duo of Victoria Prismall , an independent young lady , and Otto ( Italian for ` eight ' ) , her live-in octopus who is a friend , butler and pet . They have appeared in books , prints , T-shirts , and more . Kesinger has just published his first richly illustrated book on the couple , `` Walking Your Octopus : A Guide to the Domesticated Cephalopod '' . He describes it as `` a satirical look at how we all can get a little carried away with how we raise our pets . It 's certainly inspired by my own dog Scout but also inspired by the ups and downs of raising two young children with my wife . My hope is that the book speaks to not only steampunk fans but pet owners and parents as well . '' Thirty full-page illustrations portray the couple at home and about , bathing , biking , dating , cooking , playing croquet , pumpkin carving , and other activities necessary for the spiritual well-being of an intelligent and worldly octopus . Kesinger finds it entertaining to draw the octopus and is constantly challenged by having to find things for each tentacle to do . In that sense an octopus is a natural at multi-tasking and has enthralled a great many people . Cephalopods generally have become a theme animal for steampunk , so that Kesinger found the choice of octopus as Victoria 's soulmate an easy one to make . The popularity of Otto and Victoria , though , came as a surprise , as did the fan art , tattoos and the appearance of girls cosplaying Victoria at conventions all over the country . He plans to produce a full-length film featuring Otto and Victoria 's adventures , purely to satisfy his own wish for a well-rendered steampunk animated film .",

"Casey Kauffman Casey Kauffman is an American journalist who works for Al Jazeera English , the first English-language news channel headquartered in the Middle East . In October 2008 , Kauffman 's report about a rally in St. Clairesville , Ohio by supporters of Sarah Palin , Republican Party 's vice-presidential candidate in the 2008 United States presidential election , created a controversy . In the rally , Palin 's supporters made racist comments about Barack Obama , Democratic Party 's presidential candidate , including the fear that Barack Obama is an anti-white Muslim terrorist . The story garnered massive attention . It had gone viral on the web and had been the source of a few editorials . Colbert I. King , a columnist at the Washington Post , criticized the report and wrote a piece titled `` A Rage No One Should Be Stoking '' . In the article he said that `` it is no accident that the English-language operation of Al-Jazeera , the Arab-language news network , tried to capture and broadcast to the Middle East , Africa and elsewhere a glimpse of America 's more sinister side ... Was this fodder served up by Al-Jazeera to feed anti-American sentiment overseas ? To be sure . But the camera did n't lie . Did Al-Jazeera , however , record the whole truth ? '' Tony Burman , the managing director of Al Jazeera English , denied that Kauffman 's report was anti-American and responded in a letter to the Washington Post that Al Jazeera 's international news channels , both English and Arabic , have devoted `` more air time to covering this campaign than perhaps any other network '' and that the overarching story that America seemed poised to elect its first black president `` reflects exceptionally well on Americans and its democracy '' .",

"Advance pricing agreement An advance pricing agreement ( APA ) is an ahead-of-time agreement between a taxpayer and a tax authority on an appropriate transfer pricing methodology ( TPM ) for a set of transactions at issue over a fixed period of time ( called `` Covered Transactions '' ) . Most APAs involve U.S. taxpayers and the US Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) , but APAs are also made outside the United States . Bilateral and multilateral APAs APAs are generally bi - or multilateral -- i.e. they also include agreements between the taxpayer and one or more foreign tax administrations under the authority of the mutual agreement procedure ( MAP ) specified in income tax treaties . The taxpayer benefits from such agreements since they are assured that income associated with covered transactions is not subject to double taxation by the IRS and the relevant foreign tax authorities . It is IRS policy to `` encourage '' taxpayers to seek bilateral or multilateral APAs where competent-authority provisions exist . Unilateral APAs It is possible , however , that a taxpayer may negotiate a unilateral APA involving only the taxpayer and the IRS . In this case , the two parties negotiate an appropriate TPM for U.S. tax purposes only . Should the taxpayer be involved in a dispute with a foreign tax administration regarding the covered transactions , they may seek relief by requesting that the U.S. competent authority initiate a mutual agreement proceeding . This assumes , of course , that there is an applicable income tax treaty in force with the foreign country . The APA Program Each APA is handled by an APA team . One of the APA Program 's designated team leaders is responsible for assembling the team , and it will generally consist of an economist , an international examiner , a LMSB field counsel , and -- in bi - or multilateral cases -- a U.S. competent-authority analyst tasked with leading discussions with treaty partners . Other team members may include an LMSB International Technical Advisor , LMSB exam personnel , or an Appeals Officer .",

For art historian Roderick Conway Morris , Broom 's photographs of ethereal female figures include references to Pre-Raphaelite art , Baroque sculpture and Symbolism . Bartholomew Bland , Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Hudson River Museum , writes that `` through the use of photography , Broom cleverly conceals from us her meticulous craftsmanship ... in Broom 's ( work ) it is easy to forget that many of the most dramatic effects are created by hand . '' In her miniature dioramas , Broom uses both overt narrative and enigmatic imagery , with references to classical art as well as existential literature . Working at Erector Square in New Haven , Broom often supplements her studio 's ample natural light with artificial illumination . Her work entails three distinct components : the building of sets , the photographic shoot itself and the subsequent editing of images . According to Broom , the construction of a set takes between one and three weeks . `` My sets take a while to build , and renting a space per project just would n't make sense . '' In 2015 , Broom 's photographs and installations were the subject of an exhibition at the Hudson River Museum . In 2016 , Broom 's photographs on the grounds of the Florence Griswold Museum were exhibited in a group show there . Her photographs are also the subject of a solo show at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum . For a series of works in 2016 , Broom designed a specially illuminated dress for a model she photographed in the vast interior of Wentworth Woodhouse .",

"Business activity statement The business activity statement ( BAS ) is a form submitted to the Australian Taxation Office by all businesses to report their taxation obligations . These include pay as you go withholding ( PAYGW ) , pay as you go instalments ( PAYGI ) , fringe benefits tax ( FBT ) , wine equalisation tax ( WET ) and luxury car tax ( LCT ) . PAYGW is sometimes known as `` Income Tax Withholding ( ITW ) , '' PAYGI is sometimes known as `` Income Tax Instalments ( ITI ) '' . There are a variety of different BAS forms which an organisation can complete . The form which a business receives depends on what taxation liabilities an organisation has ( these are referred to as roles ) . Statements are usually issued quarterly , some roles can be reported at different frequencies depending on business structure and income . Some roles such as GST can be reported annually , subject to eligibility criteria being met . Although activity statements are usually submitted quarterly , some entities are required to report obligations on a more frequent basis . Some entities may be required to report PAYG Withholding liabilities or GST on a monthly basis . Every activity statement carries a unique document identification number ( DIN ) . Activity statements can be submitted to the ATO on paper ( mail ) , by phone , electronically ( via a Tax Agent 's electronic lodgment system or `` ELS '' ) , or through the ATO business portal . Activity statements are processed by the Australian Taxation Office through its operations sub-plan . Any errors which occur with activity statements are usually handled by a department known as activity statement product ( exceptions -LCB- ASP ( E ) -RCB- ) . ASP ( E ) operates under the operations sub-plan , client account services ( CAS ) business service line ( BSL ) . Errors may occur when a business client reports figures incorrectly , where a client includes cent figures ( only dollar figures are allowable ) , where an arithmetic error occurs , when a statement is submitted when no roles are active for the client , or when the handwriting on a paper statement is illegible . The business activity statement was introduced in 2000 as a part of a major tax reform which also included the introduction of the goods and services tax ( GST ) . The various forms and reporting methods have changed considerably since the initial introduction of the BAS .",

He or she is usually responsible for writing the daybooks , which contain records of purchases , sales , receipts , and payments . The bookkeeper is responsible for ensuring that all transactions whether it is cash transaction or credit transaction are recorded in the correct daybook , supplier 's ledger , customer ledger , and general ledger ; an accountant can then create reports from the information concerning the financial transactions recorded by the bookkeeper . The bookkeeper brings the books to the trial balance stage : an accountant may prepare the income statement and balance sheet using the trial balance and ledgers prepared by the bookkeeper .",

"American Arithmometer Company The American Arithmometer Company was organized in St. Louis , Missouri in 1886 by William S. Burroughs . Born in Rochester , New York in 1855 , after receiving a high school education in 1881 and working in a bank , for health reasons he moved south . Burroughs began working in the Boyer Machine Shop in St. Louis , Missouri , constructing models for castings and working on new inventions . At that time he decided to design a machine for solving arithmetical problems . After submitting a patent in 1885 for an adding and listing machine with a full keyboard , on January 20 , 1886 Burroughs co-founded the American Arithmometer Company along with Thomas Metcalfe , Richard . M. Scruggs , and William R. Pye . The fledgling company continued to operate out of the Boyer Machine building in St. Louis . Burroughs received a patent for his invention in 1888 . Early models were unreliable yet he persisted and after much trial and error he patented a practical model in 1892 . In 1894 , an article -- clearly referring to the Burroughs Registering Accountant -- reported that `` An ingenious adding machine , recently introduced in Providence banks , is said to be infallible in results , and to do the work of two or three active clerks . Enclosed in a frame with heavy plate-glass panels , through which the working of the mechanism can be seen , the machine occupies a space of 11 by 15 inches and is nine inches high . On an inclined keyboard are 81 keys , arrange in nine rows of nine keys each . The printing is done through an inked ribbon . '' ( The Bankers ' Magazine , Aug. 1894 ) During 1895 , sales climbed to 284 machines . That same year , Burroughs Adding and Registering Company , Limited of Nottingham , England was established . Three years later , the Company 's first manufacturing facility outside the U.S. was also established at Nottingham . The year 1895 also marked the Company 's first dividend payment . The Company continued to maintain an uninterrupted dividend payment record for over 100 years . An 1899 discussion of modern banking methods stated that `` great assistance has been derived from certain mechanical labor-saving contrivances , among which I will mention the typewriter , the registering accountant or adding machine , and the telephone . The registering accountant is of comparatively more recent introduction , but I think I can safely say it has proved itself one of the most useful instruments even introduced to the banks . '' ( Bankers ' Magazine , Feb. 1899 ) A 1900 ad stated that Burroughs Registering Accountants had been used `` in the largest banks in New York City '' for five years . A similar ad stated that the Burroughs Registering Accountant was `` Used by over 5000 banks , small as well as large . '' An internal power struggle soon developed between Joseph Boyer and current President and General Manager Edmund G. Langhorne , who , upon losing took half of the employees with him to Universal Adding Machine , also based in St. Louis . Joseph Boyer , the owner of the machine shop , then became president of the American Arithmometer Company in 1902 . In March 1905 , Burroughs claimed that `` there are over 22,000 of these machines now in constant use among banks , mercantile houses , department stores , factories , gas and electric light companies , railroads , express companies , lumber dealers , etc. . '' In 1905 the Burroughs Adding Machine Company was organized and relocated in Detroit , Michigan as successor to the American Arithmometer Company , where it built a 70,304 square foot plant in a cornfield owned by the Ferry Seed Company . All employees and their families were moved from St. Louis to Detroit in one day on a special train called the `` Clover Leaf Express '' . That site , which was then at the city 's northern limits , is now bordered by Second and Third Avenues on the east and west and by Burroughs and Amsterdam Avenues on the north and south . Burroughs claimed that as of October 5 , 1906 , 40,000 of its machines were in use in over 30,000 concerns and that `` ninety per cent of all adding machines sold are Burroughs . '' Burroughs also advertised an electric model in 1906 . At that time , Burroughs machines ranged in price from $ 300 to $ 500 depending on model . Burroughs manufactured its 50,000 th machine in 1907 and claimed that the 13,300 machines that it sold during 1907 exceeded `` the combined sales of all other makes of adding machines during all the years of their existence . '' In 1908 Burroughs offered 58 models , `` One built for every line of business . '' The many models varied in number of columns , the width of the paper onto which they printed , whether they were designed for computations involving fractions , feet and inches , pounds and ounces , etc. , and whether they had features such as counters and split keyboards . In 1908 Burroughs also stated that `` Nine out of ten adding machines in use are Burroughs . '' That same year Burroughs also acquired the Universal Adding Machine Co. which described its products as `` A Typewriter Carriage on an Adding Machine . '' In 1909 , Burroughs acquired the Pike Adding Machine Co. and in the same year began to sell Burroughs Pike visible adding machines . During the first decade of the 20th century , Burroughs faced competition from both key-driven calculators and a number of rival adding-listing machines , including Dalton , Pike , Standard , Universal , and Wales . Unlike Burroughs , these competing machines had `` visible '' printers that printed in view of the operator . Pike , Universal , and Wales machines had full keyboards like the machines produced by Burroughs . By contrast , Dalton Adding Machine and the Standard Adding Machine Company had more modern ten-key keyboards . By 1910 Burroughs offered 74 models with between 6 and 17 columns of keys and began advertising some of its models as bookkeeping machines . In 1911 there were 78 Burroughs models ranging in price from $ 175 to $ 850 and Burroughs introduced its Burroughs Class 3 visible adding machines based on the Pike design . Also in 1911 , Burroughs introduced a key-driven calculator that looked very much like a Felt & Tarrant Comptometer . In 1912 , the Burroughs Calculator was $ 150 . Felt & Tarrant sued Burroughs for patent infringement based on the similarity of the cases , and Burroughs modified the appearance of its calculator . In 1914 , following an antitrust suit , Burroughs was banned from buying competing companies . By 1916 there were 98 models , including a machine with 17 columns of keys priced at $ 615 -- $ 715 . In 1928 , Burroughs claimed that 100,000 Burroughs Portables had been sold . In 1935 , Burroughs offered 450 standard models . Although the machine was a commercial success , Burroughs died in 1898 before receiving much money from it . However , one year before his death he received the John Scott Medal of the Franklin Institute as an award for his invention .",

"Accounting Accounting or accountancy is the measurement , processing and communication of financial information about economic entities such as businesses and corporations . The modern field was established by the Italian mathematician Luca Pacioli in 1494 . Accounting , which has been called the `` language of business '' , measures the results of an organization 's economic activities and conveys this information to a variety of users , including investors , creditors , management , and regulators . Practitioners of accounting are known as accountants . The terms `` accounting '' and `` financial reporting '' are often used as synonyms . Accounting can be divided into several fields including financial accounting , management accounting , external auditing , tax accounting and cost accounting . Accounting information systems are designed to support accounting functions and related activities . Financial accounting focuses on the reporting of an organization 's financial information , including the preparation of financial statements , to external users of the information , such as investors , regulators and suppliers ; and management accounting focuses on the measurement , analysis and reporting of information for internal use by management . The recording of financial transactions , so that summaries of the financials may be presented in financial reports , is known as bookkeeping , of which double-entry bookkeeping is the most common system . Accounting is facilitated by accounting organizations such as standard-setters , accounting firms and professional bodies . Financial statements are usually audited by accounting firms , and are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ( GAAP ) . GAAP is set by various standard-setting organizations such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( FASB ) in the United States and the Financial Reporting Council in the United Kingdom . As of 2012 , `` all major economies '' have plans to converge towards or adopt the International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) .",

"Accounting equation The basic accounting equation , also called the balance sheet equation , represents the relationship between the assets , liabilities , and owner 's equity of a business . It is the foundation for the double-entry bookkeeping system . For each transaction , the total debits equal the total credits . It can be expressed as further more . In a corporation , capital represents the stockholders ' equity . Since every business transaction affects at least two of a company 's accounts , the accounting equation will always be `` in balance , '' meaning the left side should always equal the right side . Thus , the accounting formula essentially shows that what the firm owns ( its assets ) is purchased by either what it owes ( its liabilities ) or by what its owners invest ( its shareholders equity or capital ) . For example : A student buys a computer for $ 945 . To pay for the computer , the student uses $ 445 in cash and borrows $ 500 for the remainder . Now his assets are worth $ 945 , liabilities are $ 500 , and equity $ 445 . The formula can be rewritten : Assets - Liabilities = ( Shareholders ' or Owners ' Equity ) Now it shows owners ' interest is equal to property ( assets ) minus debts ( liabilities ) . Since in a corporation owners are shareholders , owner 's interest is called shareholders ' equity . Every accounting transaction affects at least one element of the equation , but always balances . Simplest transactions also include : These are some simple examples , but even the most complicated transactions can be recorded in a similar way . This equation is behind debits , credits , and journal entries . This equation is part of the transaction analysis model , for which we also write Owners equity = Contributed Capital + Retained Earnings Retained Earnings = Net Income − Dividends and Net Income = Income − Expenses The equation resulting from making these substitutions in the accounting equation may be referred to as the expanded accounting equation , because it yields the breakdown of the equity component of the equation .",
"Accountant An accountant is a practitioner of accounting or accountancy , which is the measurement , disclosure or provision of assurance about financial information that helps managers , investors , tax authorities and others make decisions about allocating resource ( s ) . In many jurisdictions , professional accounting bodies maintain standards of practice and evaluations for professionals .

"Alayne Fleischmann Alayne Fleischmann is a lawyer formerly employed by JPMorgan Chase . She is known as the whistleblower who provided evidence resulting in a $ 9 billion settlement by JPMorgan Chase to the United States Federal Government . The case has been called one of the most significant white-collar crime cases in US history . Fleischmann was raised in Terrace , British Columbia , Canada . After leaving Canada , she attended Cornell Law School and then began working on Wall Street . Prior to entering the financial sector she had worked in human rights . But , once working in securities law , she discovered she had a passion for it . She felt that , in those days , it was a `` very respectable '' field , and that there was `` nothing shady about '' it . In 2006 , after working for a few years at a law firm , she was hired by Chase as a transaction manager -- a sort of quality control officer . Her main function was to ensure that Chase did not purchase bad loans . After working there for a few months , a new manager was hired as head of the `` diligence '' group . This group 's purpose was to review then clear loans . Very quickly , Fleischmann encountered problems with the manager . She testified in a United States Department of Justice deposition that , this manager -- within the organization , technically a superior -- instructed her and others in the firm to stop any e-mail contact with him . Fleischmann said : `` If you sent him an e-mail , he would actually come out and yell at you . '' `` The whole point of having a compliance and diligence group is to have policies that are set out clearly in writing . So to have exactly the opposite of that -- that was very worrisome . '' Late 2006 , shortly after the manager started the `` no e-mail '' policy , the diligence group , including Fleischmann , were called upon to evaluate a $ 900 million packet of home loans . GreenPoint was named as the mortgage originator . Almost at once , Fleischmann and several of her colleagues who were also diligence managers found serious issues with this packet of loans . One problem was the `` suspiciously '' old dates on many of them . Ordinarily , banks wish to produce securities from loans as quickly as possible , ideally within two to three months . The loans from GreenPoint at the time were seven or eight months old . This indicated that the deal had been rejected by Chase or another bank earlier , or else were `` early payment defaults '' or EPDs ( loans that had been previously sold to another institution and had been returned after the borrowers had defaulted on several payments ) . A review of random loan samples by Fleischmann and her team discovered approximately 40 % were based on incomes that were overstated . The normal tolerance level by Chase was 5 % . After Fleischmann and others stated their objections to these bad loans , the number-crunchers , who once were concerened about the loans , started to alter their reports . The diligence team concluded that there would likely be a large number of defaults in the GreenPoint package loans . The report stating this was provided to several high-ranking executives . The GreenPoint package was eventually approved . In February 2008 , as part of a series of layoffs , Fleischmann was fired . Fleischmann returned to Canada . In spring 2012 , the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission contacted her as part of an investigation into Chase . She stated that she would tell them all she knew about Chase 's systemic fraud , in particular , GreenPoint . However , the SEC was more concerned with Chase 's dealings with a company called WMC . In late 2012 and early 2013 , civil litigators from the U.S. attorney 's office in the Eastern District of California interviewed her . Fleischmann provided lead attorney Richard Elias and his team with complete information about the directive not to send e-mails , the sabotage of the diligence process , bullying by her superiors , and that written warnings were ignored . She assumed her statements would lead to prosecution . However , Eric Holder 's expected September 24 , 2013 announcement of civil-fraud charges against Chase were canceled . Later news reports state that Jamie Dimon had called United States Associate Attorney General Tony West to ask that the case be settled out of court . According to The New York Times , Dimon had offered $ 3 billion to settle out of court , which was rejected , then offered more , which was also rejected . As a bargaining chip , Fleischmann 's evidence was used by the Department of Justice to persuade Dimon to offer approximately $ 9 billion as a settlement . From 2012 to 2013 , she articled at a Calgary law firm . This is a prerequisite to practicing law in Canada . She is presently not working and lives in Vancouver , British Columbia .",
