"Recent changes in laws, regulations and even the reporting format of labor organization annual financial reports in both the US and Australia have received surprisingly little attention, yet they have significantly increased the amount of information available both to union members and the public in general, as reports in both countries are available via government web sites. While such financial reporting laws are exteremely rare in European countries, with the exception of the UK and Ireland, the US and Australian reporting systems have become among the most detailed in the world. After reviewing these changes in financial reporting and the availability of these reports, as well as comparing and contrasting the specific reporting requirements of each country, this paper then examines the cost-benefit impact of more detailed financial reporting."

"This book examines the way in which BASF functions, delving into its corporate governance, financial system, industrial relations, systems of qualification, and relation to other companies in the same sector and to the economy at large. The structure of BASF's social system of production and its change through time are central themes of each of this book's four chronologically organised sections. The corporate history of BASF offers far more than just a glimpse into the functioning of an industrial organisation that has held its own on the market since 1865. It reveals a good deal about the reasons for the extraordinary economic dynamics of the German empire and the enormous expansion of the world economy before World War I. By the same token, BASF's history stands at the centre of Germany's wartime economy during both world wars and highlights both its strengths and its weaknesses."

"This article explores links between the firm's financial structure, corporate governance, and the management of labour. It reviews various literatures, in particular drawing from financial economics and political economy, and combines these with industrial relations, and human resource management. We develop a model that identifies how financial institutions and pressures impact upon labour management. Managerial discretion is at the centre of the model, and six key influences and constraints upon management are identified. We present evidence from comparative analysis of labour management which illustrates how management decisions and practices are affected. A benefit of this approach is that it can take account of within-country variations."

"Créé par la loi de financement de la sécurité sociale pour 2001, le Fonds d'indemnisation des victimes de l'amiante (FIVA) a pour objet de procéder à la réparation intégrale des préjudices subis par les victimes de l'amiante dans un délai rapide. Il a débuté son activité au milieu de l'année 2002.
Depuis cette date, les dépenses d'indemnisation atteignent un montant total de 1,64 Mds euros, dont 318 M euros (hors provision de 32 M euros) au titre de l'année 2007.
Le rôle du FIVA est essentiel pour les victimes actuelles et futures de l'amiante en termes financiers certes, mais également socio-économiques et politiques, faisant ainsi de cet établissement public un élément important de la politique de réparation dans notre pays.
Même si les effectifs du Fonds ont fortement augmenté depuis 2003, le FIVA rencontre des difficultés croissantes, pour mener à bien les tâches qui lui sont confiées.
Dans ce contexte, les ministres en charge du travail, de la santé et des comptes Publics ont demandé à l'Inspection générale des finances et à l'Inspection générale des affaires sociales d'effectuer un audit rapide de l'organisation et de la gestion du FIVA, afin de calibrer les moyens accordés au Fonds."
