Intercompany agreements are legal agreements which define the terms on which services, products and financial support are provided between related parties. For groups which operate internationally, intercompany agreements are the essential foundation for complying with transfer pricing regulations (the international rules which determine where profits are taxed) and for minimising the risk of double taxation.The task of maintaining an effective system of intercompany agreements often falls between two stools: tax and finance professionals may receive the blame for unexpected tax assessments resulting from transfer pricing challenges, but do not typically have the skills to manage legal documentation. Similarly, many corporate lawyers are unfamiliar with transfer pricing concepts and may not have hands-on experience of the issues involved.This book is a practical resource for finance, tax and transfer pricing professionals, and for anyone involved in designing, implementing, maintaining or reviewing intercompany agreements for multinational groups. It sets out a common-sense approach to achieving compliance so that, as far as possible, the tax, legal regulatory and governance needs of a group can be met in a holistic way.ABOUT THE AUTHORPaul Sutton is the co-founder of LCN Legal and a corporate lawyer with over 25 years' experience of advising international clients, including airlines, telecommunications groups and media networks. He has particular expertise in working alongside tax professionals worldwide on the design, implementation and maintenance of legal structures for large corporates. His experience includes working in KPMG's law firm in the UK, where he worked closely with international tax teams and developed his specialism in the legal issues which underpin transfer pricing compliance.Paul has been recognised and quoted as an expert by publications such as the Financial Times, the Scotsman newspaper and Financial Director Magazine. He regularly contributes to technical publications for legal and tax professionals. Through LCN Legal he has pioneered the publication of templates and other resources for tax and finance professionals.

amount of your time is taken up dealing with customers face to face and having more overheads, in comparison to a business that is purely online.There are five core areas to a business: Marketing, sales, operations, delivery and finance. Typically, most business owners are great at the operations and delivery. With all your other priorities, marketing can often be neglected; but a new customer could be worth a huge amount to your business. Often, we spend hardly any time marketing our services to those prospects to get them to buy in the first place and then neglect to build on that relationship when they do become a customer. But building a relationship with your customer is vital to success. It's what Nick calls 'customer relationship marketing'. So, what does that mean? Well, it's not just about marketing your business to get in a new enquiry, it's then continuing to market and nurture your relationship when they are a customer, so you encourage them to buy more from you and refer others to do the same.Nick wrote this book to share ideas that he and his wife have implemented in their businesses and with their clients in the hope that it will encourage you to do the same. The majority of the concepts in here are easy to implement and can be done very quickly. You can either read this book page by page or jump to a section that you've already started work on. This book isn't a guarantee of success though; nothing will happen unless you implement these concepts fully into your business and make marketing a key priority for your growth and success. Nick Williams is an award-winning marketer and business consultant who has had his own service-based businesses since 2002. Nick and his wife Jenna are on a mission to help free service-based business owners from becoming a slave to their business by automating their marketing, sales and customer service so they have more time to spend doing the things they love.

Those seeking a handle on the nature of modern capitalism and war, can do no better than to start with this incisive analysis by Lenin - it still applies, writ large, today.Ideologically a Marxist, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, (better known as Lenin), wrote copiously on political and economic systems, passionately believing in the need for a total rejection of capitalism by the proletariat worldwide.Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism looks at how Western capitalism in the mid-1800s transitioned inexorably from small businesses competing with one another into huge monopolies that concentrated labour, industry, natural resources and bank finance. Competition, a core element of capitalism, was a casualty of this process and most of the profits went to a top strata of society. Because the system was inherently growth-driven, the powerful oligarchy of financiers, industrialists and governments sought new prospects outside of their native countries in the form of a territorial 'land grab' backed by military might. This last inexorable stage of capitalism saw the world's undeveloped countries carved up between the likes of Great Britain, France and Germany and was, in Lenin's view, the very essence of imperialism, a state of affairs to be countered at all costs.

Many Voices One Song is a detailed manual for implementing sociocracy, an egalitarian form of governance also known as dynamic governance. Sociocracy means governance by those who associate together. This book is based on the Sociocratic Circle-Organization Method (SCM) developed in the Netherlands by electrical engineer Gerard Endenburg, based on earlier work of educator Kees Boeke. Many Voices One Song includes step-by-step descriptions for structuring organizations, making decisions, and generating feedback. The content is illustrated by many diagrams, tables, examples, lists, skits, and stories from the field. The book includes a glossary and index, and an appendix summarizing processes in easily reproducible form. The book covers four major areas: Sociocratic organizational structures based on linked teams (circles) that distribute authority from the top of organizations to the most frontline teams that are appropriate. These teams are linked by both top-down leaders and bottom-up delegates to ensure that influence and power are shared in a circular rather than linear hierarchy. Organizational diagrams illustrate different ways to structure organizations in an egalitarian way. Decision making by consent, defined as no one having an objection to a proposed decision. Consent is a participatory and inclusive approach to decision making, in contrast to win-lose voting and most forms of consensus. Decision-making steps (understand-explore-decide) detailed include proposal generation and the proposal to consent decision-making process. The book also outlines the steps for selection of people to roles in open dialog processes. The insights of compassionate communication (Nonviolent Communication/NVC) are integrated into the context of decision making. Meeting format and design, including facilitation skills and processes that ensure that all voices matter in decision making.Feedback processes for evaluating the effectiveness of meetings, policies, workflows, and role performance support an ongoing learning cycle and continuous improvement, not just in production and delivery but in the embodiment of equality itself. The intent of this book is to contribute to the spread of sociocracy by making information available. Egalitarian self-governance needs to be simple enough so everyone can share power in a healthy way.

Projects fail. Some say 40%% of all IT projects fail, some say 70%%. And it has been that way for years. Each project fails for its own reasons but they all share one thing in common: the Project Model. Could it be the project model itself which creates failure? In this tour de force Allan Kelly explains why the project model is a poor fit for managing software development. Working from industry recognized definitions of projects he describes how the model deviates from reality then goes on to discuss: - Why focusing on time, scope, and cost damages software, creates goal displacement and reduces quality. - How projects miss the bigger picture. - Why maximizing value demands work across projects. - When debt is good and how projects increase technical debt to the detriment of value delivery. Projects end. Successful software continues. Twenty-first century digital businesses want to continue and grow.
