ACC 420 International Case Juliana Goes Eboli Technology has made it possible for corporations to create a global market rather than a local/regional market. This economic globalization brought many challenges to the accounting profession; since each country used to have their own accounting rules, it became a challenge for companies to report their financial position in a way that could be understood and compared by investors. It was based on this notion that the International Financial Reporting Standard was created.

THE UNIVERSITY OF ZAMBIA SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT STUDIES NAME: HAMWEEMBA WONDY COMPUTER NUMBER: 11081589 COURSE CODE: DS 102 LECTURER: DR.

The vast numbers of MNCs are located all around the world; they vary widely in size and interest. Their intention is to "take a package of capital, technology, managerial know-how, and/or marketing skills to carry out production or business services abroad" (Todaro: 2003).
We live in a world in which 13 of the top 50 economies are companies, not countries. How does this change the responsibility companies have for providing for social needs and addressing big-ticket challenges of the future? How can companies ensure their own future prosperity by beginning to engage looming issues of concern—from energy needs to public health to income inequity? Is the proliferation of nongovernmental organizations the result of an incapacity on the part of governments? Or, are NGOs an innovation in human social organization and an important step forward for addressing global and local challenges?
