Future Technolgy

When we were young officers we liked to hear stories from the old heads of what police work was like in their rookie years.

Hot on Green

Green Accounting

With more pressure on companies to show their green credentials, environmental accounting might well become one of the hot jobs of the future.Here is a good summary of what it entails. Essentially, it's about risk management, collecting and analyzing information on materials flows and pollution controls for the company's executives, reporting to investors and regulators and analyzing how natural resources are used and how the company's environmental impact is being managed.At this stage, it's a very new area.
