An analysis of disclosures prepared by listed entities undertaking mining or oil and gas activities

Galbraith, Patricia Rosemary January 2015 (has links)
Thesis (M. Com. (Accountancy))--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, School of Accountancy, 2015. / ABSTRACT The extractive activities industry includes entities that explore for, discover, develop and extract deposits of minerals, oil and natural gases. Recent research conducted has concluded that accounting for the assets and expenditure together with the disclosure requirements in this industry are not comprehensively addressed by current International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The debate surrounding the accounting and disclosure alternatives in the industry as well as movements to standardise them have been ongoing since the 1890s. The latest movement by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) resulted in a project team publishing the Discussion Paper DP/2010/1 – Extractive Activities of April 2010 (Discussion Paper). The Discussion Paper presents disclosures determined to provide the most useful information to the users of the industries financial statements. The IASB have paused this topic and it will not be added to the agenda in the near future, however, this Discussion Paper is likely to form the foundation of a new IFRS. This research report will assess how the reserves and related disclosures currently prepared by entities in the mining or oil and gas industry compare to the proposed disclosure requirements of the Discussion Paper. This research report uses a mixed methodology. Quantitative analysis, through the use of a disclosure checklist, dominates the study which covers two years. The results of this study are then qualitatively and compared per proposed disclosure, against market capitalisation, by listing sector, by external auditor and whether the entity has a single or a dual-listing. Overall the study shows that the current disclosures of the entities do not satisfy the proposed disclosures of the Discussion Paper. Entities in the extractive activities industry would need to invest more into financial reporting in order to achieve compliance with the disclosures should they ever form part of an IFRS. The findings do indicate that the number of disclosures provided is dependent on the size of the entity. The two entities PRG/0500709A i found to have the most disclosures are in the gold mining sector and have an alternative listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

The work is an ethnographic research that made use of a case study with a qualitative approach. The main objective was to analyze the historical construction and the current status of the community of Batoque in its cultural aspects and the use and management of natural resources by traditional fishermen and farmers in relation to their living territory. The specific objectives are defined in three points: (1)to describe the historically constructed social relations and cultural events that underlie the notion of community among members of the reserve; (2) to study how artisanal fishermen and small scale farmers are organized and handle and use local natural resources, and (3) to investigate the involvement of fishers and farmers of Batoque with the shared management system of the reserve. The textual production is based on the interpretation of the oral histories reported during the experience of living with the community. The text provides a historical approach, that addresses the specific context in which arose the community of Batoque and the ways in which the territory was continually reaffirmed, which culminated in the establishment of the Extractive Reserve of Batoque. The process of constitution of the conservation unit was marked by intense struggles against real estate speculation. The territoriality in the community functioned as a factor of identification, defense and strength, in the dispute over the planning process. The redemption of the memories of the past of Batoque demonstrates that throughout the formation process of the community the use of natural resources has been a central point. The extent of reserve covers coastal-marine ecosystems (lagoons, sand dunes, sea), estuaries and mangroves. The community is essentially formed by two groups of families: those who depend exclusively on the environment to carry out their agricultural and / or extractive production activities - approximately 175 families that practice family agriculture, artisanal fishing, livestock creation and craft-making - and those without agricultural or extractive activities, but other economic activities like small shop keeping, public transport and tourist-related activities - about 87 families. Fishing activities, extractive activities and animal production interconnect a diverse set of activities that are important as occupation of the territory and source of income. There is an average of 150 vacationers who own real estate on site (houses or land). People have shown a wealth of knowledge about the environmental changes that have occurred in the landscape of Batoque over the decades and about the management of natural resources in carrying out their productive activities. This knowledge was a key factor that led the daily learning, the choice of technologies used in productive activities and awareness to conserve and take care of it. The shared management process of the extractive reserve shows unstable relationships between social groups and the ICMBio governing body. Ensuring the balance between the diverse and conflicting interests is a challenge for territorial management. / A pesquisa é fruto das análises construídas no processo de vivência-pesquisa realizada com a comunidade que reside na Reserva Extrativista do Batoque, localizada no município de Aquiraz, no estado do Ceará.

A comunidade é formada essencialmente por dois grupos de famílias: os que dependem exclusivamente do meio ambiente para reproduzir suas atividades produtivas agrícolas e/ou extrativistas – aproximadamente 175 famílias que praticam agricultura familiar, pesca artesanal, pecuária e artesanato – e daqueles que não possuem atividades produtivas agrícolas ou extrativistas, mas outras atividades econômicas como pequenos comércios, transporte de pessoas, trabalhos com o turismo – aproximadamente são 87 famílias. As atividades de pesca, extrativismo e de produção animal interligam um conjunto diverso de atividades que são importantes como ocupação do território e produção de renda. Há uma média de 150 veranistas que possuem imóveis no local (casas ou terrenos). As pessoas demonstraram um rico conhecimento sobre as modificações ambientais ocorridas na paisagem da praia do Batoque ao longo das décadas e sobre as práticas de manejo dos recursos na realização das suas atividades produtivas. Este conhecimento foi um fator fundamental que guiou o aprendizado diário, a escolha das tecnologias utilizadas nas atividades produtivas e a consciência de conservar e cuidar do mesmo. O processo de gestão compartilhada da reserva extrativista apresenta relações instáveis entre os grupos sociais e o órgão gestor ICMBio. Assegurar o equilíbrio entre os diversificados e contraditórios interesses é um desafio para a gestão territorial.

¿Buscando Revertir la Desaceleración de la Economía a Través de la Reducción de los Estándares Regulatorios?: Un Análisis de los Aspectos Ambientales del Paquete de Reactivación Económica / ¿Buscando Revertir la Desaceleración de la Economía a Través de la Reducción de los Estándares Regulatorios?: Un Análisis de los Aspectos Ambientales del Paquete de Reactivación Económica

Castro Pozo, Xennia Forno, Soto Palacios, Miguel Ángel 10 April 2018 (has links)
Global economy is going through a transition where investments in extractive industryprojects have drastically slowed down, which results in a competition among governments for establishing regulatory incentives to make their jurisdictions more attractive. In this context, the Ministry of Economy and Finance has created a Specialized Team to Track Investment Execution, which is intended to identify all the issues and obstacles that hinder the execution of investments so as to adjust their regulatory frameworks. As a result, the aforementioned Team submitted a bill that the Congress has recently approved, Law N° 30230, known as Economic Recovery Package, which provides for a set of measures relatedto the private investment and environmental regulations.Based on the analysis of the aforementioned measures, the authors propose that this Law does not intend to reduce the environmental standards or requirements but to provide such legal security that gives investors certainty and predictability as to the regulatory framework. / La economía mundial viene atravesando una fase de transición donde la inversión en proyectos de industrias extractivas se ha desacelerado drásticamente, lo cual conlleva a que muchos gobiernos compitan por generar incentivos regulatorios que vuelvan más atractivas sus jurisdicciones. En ese contexto, el Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas creó un Equipo Especializado de Seguimiento de la Inversión, cuyo propósito es identificar todos aquellos problemas y trabas que afectan la ejecución de las inversiones, a fin de proponer la adecuación de los marcos normativos. Es así que, a propuesta del referido equipo, recientemente fue aprobada por el Congreso la Ley No. 30230, conocida como el Paquete de Reactivación Económica, que contempla una serie de medidas vinculadas con la regulación ambiental y la inversión privada.Partiendo del análisis de las referidas medidas, los autores proponen que la Ley no busca reducir los estándares o exigencias ambientales, sino mas bien alcanzar aquella seguridad jurídica que permita otorgar certeza y predictibilidad a los inversionistas respecto del marcoregulatorio.
