Anti-Corruption Watchdog: Few states actively fighting corporate corruption

August 21, 2015 by SPCS Leave a Comment

BERLIN (AP) ” An anti-corruption watchdog says only four of 41 countries that signed an anti-bribery convention 16 years ago are actively investigating and prosecuting companies that bribe foreign officials to win contracts, or dodge taxes and local laws.

Transparency International, which annually assesses compliance with the OECD anti-bribery convention, said Thursday that Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States are the only countries considered to be actively enforcing the agreement.

The organization says six countries are classified as having moderate enforcement, nine have limited enforcement, and the remaining 20 “are doing little or nothing.” Two could not be measured.

The worst category includes six of the Group of 20 global economic powers: Argentina, Japan, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, and Turkey.

Companies Office – Registries Integrity and Enforcement

April 5, 2014 by SPCS Leave a Comment

The Registries Integrity and Enforcement Team (RIET) are part of the Companies Office. Its  role is to ensure the integrity of the registers that are administered by the Companies Office, by proactively monitoring their use.  RIET primarily acts by seeking compliance or preventing misuse but, where appropriate, it prosecutes offences on behalf of the Registrar of Companies – Mandy McDonald.

Companies Office enforcement guidelines dated 1 July 2013 can be located at:

http://www.business.govt.nz/companies/about-us/enforcement/policy-guidelines#register-integrity

An example of non-compliance is the case of a company director(s) who persistently fail to ensure company Annual Returns are filed on time. Non-compliance can lead to prosecution and/or a company being struck off the Register of Companies by the Registrar. [Read more…]

Family Life International – a registered charity – explains what’s wrong with pornography

June 29, 2012 by SPCS Leave a Comment

Family Life International, a charity registered by the New Zealand Charities Commission, has published a clear response to the question “What’s wrong with pornography?”

It is noteworthy that the Charities Commission, headed by Mr Trevor Garrett, has stringent policies in place outlawing the dissemination, viewing, transmission and possession of “pornography” in the work place by its employees, including such activities involving workplace computers. The SPCS commends the management of the Commission for putting such policies in place and ensuring that employees in breach of these policies are dismissed and/or severely sanctioned.

Overview [of FLI article]: Thanks to the focused and concentrated efforts of pornography moguls like Playboy magazine’s Hugh Hefner, pornography has now become mainstream fare on television, film and in literature. In fact it has become so prolific that those who express their disdain for pornography are looked down upon with suspicion and ridicule.

Magazines like Playboy which were once considered gross obscenity are now touted as a cultural rite of passage, or even a form of modern art. The most frightening aspect of pornography is that it is so widely accepted while the research regarding its true effects on society and the human person is almost completely ignored.
