1.2234 The Use of Financial Derivatives in Managing Corporate Risk.
This paper will explain the role of futures contracts in hedging strategies, and look at the elements of risk in hedging strategies. Upon this base, it will explore the extent to which risk can be controlled, and look at different quantitative strategies investors have used to minimize their risk exposure. In the final analysis it will be argued that there is no foolproof strategy for minimizing risk: what works in some cases simply does not in others. This is to say that risk is not completely eliminated, but rather reduced to varying degrees. 22.5 pgs. 35 f/c. 22b.

3.2236 Changes in Information Technology.
The IT changes in the discount brokerage industry have been enormous over the 1995-1999 period. In response to this rapid technological advancement, the number of discount brokerages has multiplied with several hundred now active in the market. Investors are becoming increasing price conscious and there is great pressure on technology to reduce transactions costs and the time it takes for investor's bids to reach the trading floor. Those with the most advanced technology will dominate the market. Information technology, therefore, is perhaps the most critical success factor and, more than this, it is guiding the development of the entire brokerage industry. This study takes a Work Centered Analysis (WCA) approach of the key IT changes made over the 1995-1999 period. 11 pgs. 6 f/c. 6b.

7.1777 Accounting: The Differences Between Financial And Management Accounts. It Is Not Just A Question Of Legality.
Perhaps one of the most prominent discussions involving accounting has to do with the differences between financial and management accounts. Some regard these differences to be a question of legality. Companies are required by law to submit financial statements based on certain requirements. On the other hand, management accounting can be structured to suit the needs of the company. However, the fact that firms can structure their management accounting statements according to their needs might lead one to suggest that major differences between these two systems relate to practicality. With this in mind, it is hypothesised that while legal issues are important for determining the differences between financial and management accounting they are not the only considerations, one must also consider the extent to which practical considerations contribute to the development of these differences. 5 pgs. 10 f/c. 3b.
