FINANCE Companies used both recourse and nonrecourse debt to finance these unregulated activities with arrangements such as project financing debt, hybrid securities, and synthetic leases. Rating agencies are more closely scrutinizing the energy trading business as risks come into focus, including the volatility of power markets, heightened credit risk, and high demands of counter-party risk.

Financial Executives Online Greg Polcer, vice president of finance at Unilever-HPC, says plainly, "Until you do that, you don't have the right to do anything else." At the same time, Unilever also considers the financial executive's role to be that of a "consigliere," an internal consultant/confidant who partners with the most senior people in the organization. Traditional finance skills are still the bedrock for being an effective financial executive. The role of consigliere, or strategic partner, requires young finance professionals to master a broad array of "soft skills." Some of the most important abilities - innovation, strategic vision and entrepreneurial drive - traditionally have been considered the CEO's skill set. www.fei.org /magazine/articles/11-12-2000_Research.cfm   (657 words)

Battle for VST hots up, ITC launches counter-offer The public announcement on behalf of Russell Credit, issued by Kotak Mahindra Finance Company on Thursday, makes a counter-offer to all VST shareholders to acquire upto 30,88,384 fully paid up equity shares of Rs 10 each.

The offer is payable in cash and is not subject to any minimum level of acceptances. www.expressindia.com /ie/daily/20010302/ibu02039.html   (657 words)

TEI-Canadian Department of Finance Liaison Meeting (Income Tax Issues) Finance response: Finance indicated that it was not inclined to recommend an amendment but was in agreement that the intent is that interest-rate swaps would be covered by the existing wording. Finance response: Finance agrees that it is counter-intuitive that hedging activity designed to remove a market exposure should result in a change in the amount of taxable capital arising from a borrowing. Finance think that the 0.85 factor in the formula in paragraph 67.3(d) is sufficient to deal with the difference that may exist between the list price of a leased vehicle and the capital cost inherent in the lease. www.taxnews.com /tnn/tei/tei_doc_public.nsf/85256396005ac84685256244005d3a03/def710c04b1d2ddc85256a730061794b   (7726 words)

The Defense Finance and Accounting Service The disparity between the Defense Department’s core mission (military readiness and force modernization) and the purely commercial nature of finance and accounting activities runs counter to private-sector trends of the past decade.

Taipei Times - archives Zalm's Austrian counterpart and fellow deficit hawk, Karl-Heinz Grasser, said ministers had to state strongly "that they want a strict and equal implementation of the pact" to counter such perceptions. The differing tones at the start of a two-day meeting of EU finance ministers foreshadowed months of wrangling intended to revive the so-called stability and growth pact, which underpins the euro. Paris and Berlin managed to suspend the rules last November despite repeated overspending, but the EU's top court annulled their action this summer. www.taipeitimes.com /News/biz/archives/2004/09/12/2003202620   (698 words)

USATODAY.com - FEC imposes new donation limits Democrats are hoping to use the outside groups for fall election activities to take on some of the activities their party used to have soft money to finance, and to make up some of the financial advantage Republicans have enjoyed under the campaign finance law that took effect after the 2002 election. Americans for a Better Country, a Republican group that asked the FEC to decide Wednesday's issue, said the ruling restricts much of what it planned to do, but that it will look for ways it can use soft money to counter Democratic groups' spending in the fall election. At issue Wednesday was how the nation's new campaign finance law — which banned national party committees and federal candidates from soliciting soft money — affects outside groups still raising the big checks. www.usatoday.com /news/washington/2004-02-18-fec-donations_x.htm   (808 words)

Women Clamor for Long-Delayed Return of the Sponge The sponge is one of the few over-the-counter, non-hormonal, woman-controlled contraceptives approved for use in the United States. Although it is not considered a reliable defense against sexually transmitted diseases, women say they like the sponge for a variety of reasons: It is sold over the counter, can be inserted as long as 24 hours before sex and, unlike condoms, it can be left in place for multiple rounds of intercourse. But Whitehall-Robbins, the only U.S. manufacturer of the sponge, voluntarily discontinued it in 1994, citing its unwillingness to finance equipment upgrades mandated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. www.womensenews.org /article.cfm/dyn/aid/848/context/cover   (1127 words)
