Goal 1b has not been achieved and still, 300 million workers are living below the poverty line. The global employment to population ratio which is the amount of working age people who are employed in the world has only fallen from 62% in 1991 to 60% in 2015. This shows very little change. The 2% fall was affected by the global economic crisis from 2008 to 2009, and the aftershocks. Since 1991 there has been a drop of 10% in the amount of men and women aged 15-24 who are employed. From 5/10 employed in 1991 to 4/10 employed in
Accounting is commonly described as the language of business. It is very important for all business owners to have very good understanding of their finances. Having the knowledge of your business finance, you will know where the money is going. Every business owner should have a good understanding of finance.

The leadership team discussed specific outcomes that they want accomplish, taking into consideration the issues they want to address. After careful deliberation, they decided that they wanted to create a process of implementation with a feedback loop in which teachers and staff discuss each lesson. Documentation would be written down of what worked and what did not work and modifications could be done for the upcoming lessons. This could be accomplished by setting time for staff to meet and discuss lesson implementation, areas of strength and weakness.

250). Additionally, the poverty rate calculated in 2014 stands as 14.8 percent of the population, and have fluctuated only modestly over the years (De-Navas-Walt & Proctor, 2015, p. 12). What is even more staggering is that from 2000 to 2012, 34.5 percent of the population has suffered at least one spell of poverty lasting at least two months (p. 14). What these statistics appear to suggest is that despite the noble aims of such reform, they seem to appear to be insufficient in rewarding work to ultimately ameliorate poverty. This leads some to argue that the root problems can be attributed to how wages in the low-skilled labor sector are depressed and therefore too low for poor workers to take advantage of the EITC, suggesting that increases in the minimum wage would help compound the anti-poverty effects of the EITC (Neumark & Wascher, 2011, p. 713).

Landry’s Debt to Asset ratio also increased from year 2002 to 2003. In 2002 Landry had a debt to asset ratio of 0.39. In 2003 Landry’s debt to asset ratio increased to 0.45. While both numbers are acceptable and considerably low, the increase from 2002 to 2003 could influence potential investors to not invest in Landry’s stock. This increase also suggests that Landry’s debt also increased from 2002 to 2003. Overall, while there was a slight increase from 2002 to 2003 Landry’s still had a good debt to asset ratio. We think that a contributing factor to the debt

In recent decades, the global economy has undergone a rapid transformation, from an economy driven by “traditional hard assets- plants, warehouses and the like”, to an economy driven by patents, software, intellectual property, and brands. These items fall into a category that has become hugely important in the world of financial reporting, “intangible assets”. Increasingly, the value of a firm is derived not from its tangible assets such as stock, property, plant and equipment but by its knowledge capital, its employees, even by its business processes. As Baruch Lev notes in 2001:

Accounting is generally regarded as a mathematical discipline founded on mathematics. However, as the unified field chart created by Maharishi University of management shows, accounting is a Multi-layered discipline founded in the unified field of natural law. Maharishi explains that "cosmic intelligence, absolute intelligence of Natural Law, displaying its infinite managing power in the orderly administration of the ever-evolving, ever-expanding universe." - Yogi, M. M. This absolute intelligence is the foundation of the 6 levels of the Unified Field chart [1] of accounting. It all begins in the unified field where the feedback loop completeness and steps to success are formed followed by the creation of the

Accounting is the compilation of financial information for use in making economic decisions. BOOKKEEPING provides the basic accounting data, by systematically recording such day-to-day financial information as revenue from the sale of products or services; expenses of business operations such as the cost of merchandise sold; and overhead expenses such as rent, wages, and so forth. Accounting principles determine which financial events and transactions should be recorded in the bookkeeper's ledgers, journals, and computer printouts. The analysis and interpretation of these records is the primary function of accounting.
To state the facts, MDG Goal 1 has three specific targets. Target 1.A is to halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people whose income is less than $1.25 a day; Target 1.B is to achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all, including women and young people (UN website, 2015). It is known that 300 million workers lived below $1.25 in 2015 (UN website, 2015). Target 1.C is to halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people who suffer from hunger; it is estimated that 795 million people are undernourished (UN website, 2015). Furthermore, it is noteworthy that the number of people living below the poverty line in South Asia was 222 million in 1990 to 51 million in 2012; while in Sub-Saharan Africa, the number increased from 182 million people in 1990 to 213 million in 2012 (PovcalNet, 2015). I chose these two regions since South Asia has shown the most significant reduction in extreme poverty rates from 52 percent to 17 percent, while sub-Saharan Africa had the least percentage decline from 57 percent to 41 percent as well as 40 percent of the population still living in extreme poverty (MDG Report, 2015).
