The Companies Act (No. 71 of 2008), as now amended by the Companies Amendment Act (No. 3 of 2011), introduced many concepts, principles and rules that were foreign to South Africa's common law. However, the new Act does not indicate clearly to what extent it replaces the common law. Corporate Law For Commerce Students is thus a much-needed guide to the structure and fundamentals of the new company regime. Corporate Law For Commerce Students covers three types of business venture, namely partnerships, companies and close corporations, which each carry different rights and obligations, and ultimately liabilities, for the entrepreneur. It discusses, inter alia, how to choose the right option for a specific business; the partnership concept, the establishment of a legal personality; compliance, transparency and accountability; shares, securities, stock and debt instruments; fundamental transactions, takeovers and offers; business rescue and compromise with creditors; and termination and dissolution - all within the framework of the new Companies Act and the common law. It includes figures, tables and mind maps to clarify each topic, and provides assessments at the end of each chapter. Corporate Law For Commerce Students is aimed both at students who are studying Commercial Law, Business Entities or Corporate Law and practising accountants and auditors.
“Crypto”, a loose term that means many things to different people, only entered public consciousness within the last five years or so, now evident by the volume of public discussion, commentary and analysis spread across every conceivable media outlet. It’s Mine digs into the history and concept of “ownership”, which ecosystems nurture it, and where we are now. Filled with anecdotes, observations and interviews, the book takes an entertaining and accessible look at how Bitcoin made its mark, how its technology is being re-purposed to enable a revolution, and (in non-technical terms) how it all works. It explores how these new crypto “life-forms” will interact with the rest of the virtual and physical world, while making some very rich and some very poor.

banking sector is critical. Several rounds of banking reforms in
China have aimed to improve performance and competition, and

The Law of Corporate Finance discusses, from a company law perspective, the provisions of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 relating to the field of shares, securities, and corporate finance. There have, thus far, been few major decisions of the courts providing guidance on this technical branch of company law. The Law of Corporate Finance unpacks the complexity of this field of law, while also examining the Companies Regulations and the common law principles preserved by the Companies Act. It offers a lucid and comprehensive treatment of this notoriously difficult subject. The Law of Corporate Finance is written to provide guidance to a wide range of persons seeking a proper grasp of both the principles of corporate finance as well as their practical application - from the judiciary, legal practitioners and legal advisors to auditors and accountants, from company directors and company secretaries to academics and students, whether undergraduate or postgraduate. The major company law topics in the field of corporate finance are discussed and analysed in this book. A highlight of The Law of Corporate Finance is that it includes a discussion of the legal remedies available to investors when the rules relating to corporate finance have been flouted. A further highlight is the practical examples that illustrate how corporate finance rules work and their shortcomings in specific situations. Due to the rapid globalisation of corporate law, a treatment of the legal position in leading foreign jurisdictions has been included, particularly those that have moulded the provisions of the South African Companies Act. These include English law, US law, Australian, Canadian and New Zealand law. This unique perspective provides an invaluable insight into the interpretation and application of the corporate finance provisions of the South African Act. Anyone seeking to understand the complex corporate finance rules will find this book to be useful and illuminating.
An outrageous, white-knuckle journey to the dark heart of an
intoxicating world - from someone who survived the trading game and
then blew it all wide open
In May 2007, an extraordinary meeting took place in London'sThe
Exchange Forum. Chief executives from many of the world's most
important financial exchanges came together with senior executives
from a wide array of global banking, trading, and investing firms,
index providers, regulators, system suppliers, and key academics to
discuss the rapidly changing business and technological environment
in which exchanges function. The forum was an exclusive event, open
only to the most senior-level individuals in the global exchanges
community: those who run exchanges, who are clients of exchanges,
who invest in exchanges, and who supply goods and services to
exchanges.
Information is the oxygen supply of the financial markets.
Financial information, or data, is so important that companies such
as Barclays and Citigroup now have executive positions of Chief
Data Officer or Head of Data Acquisition. This book, by a long-time
industry insider at one of the leading data management vendors,
discusses the present and future of financial data management by
focusing on the lifecycle of the financial instruments (stocks,
bonds, options, derivatives) that generate and require data to keep
the markets moving. This book is a concise reference manual of the
financial information supply chain and how to maximize
effectiveness and minimize cost.
The politics of cutting public spending or raising taxes (or both) has dominated politics in many democracies in recent years. A new era of conflict has developed, with old political alignments being tested and new battles emerging over whose expectations are to be disappointed and who should be blamed for fiscal squeeze. Do parties who cut spending always go down to defeat in elections? Are there 'best practice' cases that every government should follow when it has to cut spending or raise taxes to balance its public finances? Such issues have mainly been analysed from an economic or financial perspective and in the context of recent cases. By contrast, this book focuses on the politics of fiscal squeeze and takes a longer view. It combines quantitative and qualitative analysis to examine cases ranging from the fiscal squeeze in the United States in the 1830s/40s (when half of the states then in the Union defaulted) to the squeeze following the 2001 Argentinian default. It assesses who were the winners and losers, who got the blame and what were the longer-term effects on politics and government. It argues that 'how to do it' approaches to fiscal squeeze in democracies, based on apparently successful cases, often fail to take into account profound differences in circumstances.
Risk model validation is an emerging and important area of
research, and has arisen because of Basel I and II. These
regulatory initiatives require trading institutions and lending
institutions to compute their reserve capital in a highly analytic
way, based on the use of internal risk models. It is part of the
regulatory structure that these risk models be validated both
internally and externally, and there is a great shortage of
information as to best practise. Editors Christodoulakis and
Satchell collect papers that are beginning to appear by regulators,
consultants, and academics, to provide the first collection that
focuses on the quantitative side of model validation. The book
covers the three main areas of risk: Credit Risk and Market and
Operational Risk.
In this book, Pascal Costantini gives a lively and wonderfully
readable account of ten years of efforts by a small group of
investment analysts to find a reliable, practical and implementable
method for valuing and selecting shares. The result of their effort
is an original investment methodology called CROCI (Cash Return on
Capital Invested), best described as a variation of the economic
profit model. For over a decade now, Costantinis group at Deutsche
Bank has been using this valuation tool every time it has had to
take a view on the pricing of an equity asset, be it a market, a
sector or an individual sharein other words, every single working
day, since it is this groups job to advise institutional investors
on equity valuation. Costantini describes in detail, accompanied by
concrete examples in the form of charts and graphs, the precise
investment results of the actual implementation of the CROCI
approach in the global equity markets since 1996. Readers will
enjoy taking this journey with Costantini to see how and why the
model was developed, assess the results of ten years of actual
implementation and measure the successes of using this model in
stock picking and portfolio construction. This book will also make
it easy for them to see how the CROCI approach can be used
successfully by others now and in the future.
The term "project finance" is now being used in almost every
language in every part of the world. It is the solution to
infrastructure, public and private venture capital needs. It has
been successfully used in the past to raise trillions of dollars of
capital and promises to continue to be one of the major financing
techniques for capital projects in both developed and developing
countries.

used by companies to raise finance, and which are aimed at a wide
