LGBTQ+ pride festivals around the country have lost millions of dollars in corporate sponsorships this year, as more companies fear being targeted by the Trump administration over their diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

Nearly a fourth of corporate donors to NYC Pride, including Mastercard, Citi, Pepsi, Nissan and PwC, pulled sponsorships totaling an estimated $750,000.

At WorldPride, held this year in Washington, D.C., consulting giants Booz Allen Hamilton and Deloitte dropped their sponsorships and have lost nearly $260,000 in funding.

Anheuser-Busch, the brewer for the brands Budweiser and Bud Light, withdrew sponsorship from pride events in San Francisco and Columbus, and in St. Louis where the company is headquartered.

The sharp decline in corporate sponsorship for pride festivals this year comes as President Donald Trump has threatened anything related to DEI and associated with the LGBTQ+ community ― and corporations have retreated their support.

On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order declaring DEI initiatives “illegal and immoral discrimination,” and announced the termination of all federal offices and grants related to DEI training. In a second order, Trump vowed to end the federal funding of “gender ideology,” a right-wing term that is used to refer to the existence of transgender people and their rights.

Over the last decade, corporate America began to increasingly support Pride festivals after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage in 2015. Pride-themed and rainbow-colored products, from clothing to credit cards, had become so universal at retailers each June that some began to critique corporate support as “rainbow capitalism.”

Critics lamented that corporations only supported LGBTQ+ communities with big displays during Pride while being silent the rest of the year ― or in some cases donating millions to anti-LGBTQ politicians.

2015 PWC COTA post race interview

Buggs Spamming

@country-wannabe was originally a Shelbert blog. She hasn't posted anything since mid 2021. She goes back to 2014, which of course, everything between then and 20 July 2015 is about them. I will just say she did not come over the to the Darkside (Shefani world) with great acceptance, as she felt her blog was about Blake. Eventually she was assimilated. But what is interesting, is that there is an archive that shows the emotions, falsehoods, truths, some hate, etc about BS and ML's divorce from just before it happened through to, not sure. This is stuff I don't have in my archive, and the only way to get it there is to repost her stuff.

There will be more spam, for the rest of 2015, I am sure November will be very interesting, to read. Blake and Gwen flew to attend the CMAs on 4 Nov. Gwen was only backstage. Unfortunately, her, or his, or both (have heard conflicting reports) that based on the fact the paps had caught them being very cozy with each other at Halloween parties (day of and next) the publicists decided to announce to the world that Blake and Gwen were officially dating due to the paps finding out that Gwen was with Blake on the plane. Unfortunately, the announcement apparently came out while ML was on the red carpet. MLs fans, when they found out about the timing went ballistic, accusing Blake and Gwen of trying to diminish ML.

The hate was there before, but, when this happened, it basically exploded from some of the hardcore ML Fans. We here started referring to these off the wall people as ranfans to differentiate them from the sane fans of ML. From then on, we saw a lot of unsubstantiated hate from these people. Some were absolutely psycho. There are still a few on twitter and some show up in mine and PWC's blog to screw with us.

Gwen, and Blake denied that they told their publicists to release the information.

Bottomline, more coming.

Coalition Responsible For Consulting Crisis

10 years of Liberal/National federal governments stripped the public service of 15, 000 jobs and opened the door for consultants PwC, KPMG, EY, and Deloitte to feast on government contracts to the tune of billions of dollars. Coalition responsible for consulting crisis, as insider mates shuffle jobs between government and the big 4 consultancy/auditing firms to ensure the flow of business and big bucks. Four Corners has revealed the incestuous relationships in the Department of Defence and KPMG via whistleblowers telling their story about what has been going on. Pigs with snouts in the trough comes to mind as an analogy about what has been occurring. “It has been the Coalition's official benchmark for "responsible management" since 2015; a target that prime ministers Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Morrison also pursued. More than 15,000 government jobs were abolished as a result.” - (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-05-13/has-federal-budget-2021-ended-coalition-war-on-public-servants/100133980) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pduOqZPnqVc

Dishonest & Dodgy Coalition Governments Dealing Billions To Consultants

The lack of transparency is a major issue and questions have to be asked whether this was a deliberate strategy by the Coalition in government. Outsourcing, what has always been the work of government through the public service, means that these consulting firms are not scrutinised to the level government departments usually are. The Abbott, Turnbull, and Morrison governments moved much of their work of government to these private consulting firms. Public funds normally allocated to the trusted public service were diverted to these private companies. The PwC tax scandal has shown clearly that these firms are not to be trusted with sensitive and confidential government information.

“Former KPMG partner urges royal commission into consulting industry following damning report into PwC scandal” - (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jul/06/former-kpmg-partner-urges-royal-commission-into-consulting-industry-following-damning-report-into-pwc-scandal) “PwC Australia has sacked eight partners, including its former CEO Tom Seymour, over their direct involvement in or knowledge of the tax leak scandal which has engulfed the consulting firm.” - (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-07-03/asx-markets-business-live-news-july-3/102553582)

Neoliberal Coalition Oversees Erosion Of Ethics  & Professional Standards

Overcharging and extending contracts is rife in the consulting sector and via these government contracts they have gone to town. Tens of billions of dollars have been siphoned off into the hands of these firms and their insider mates of the Coalition. Scott Morrison has a lot of questions to answer re-Robodebt and PwC was involved in this illegal debacle as well. It is time that these people were brought to justice and prosecuted. The erosion of ethics and professional standards has been overseen by the Coalition in power. Screwing the taxpayer out of money and feathering the nest of private individuals has been happening on a very large scale. “Collins had breached a series of confidentiality agreements made with federal Treasury and the Board of Taxation that gave him access to various consultative forums as a senior partner in the local branch of a global accounting firm. Information obtained during those processes was used to brief local and international tax partners or staff on what the government was doing in specific areas of taxation. It was publicly known that Collins had shared knowledge that he should not have shared, as was the fact that his former firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers (now PwC), was given a disciplinary penalty that required it to tighten up training and procedures.” (https://www.themandarin.com.au/219292-damning-emails-reveal-former-pwc-peter-collins-multiple-breaches/

Liberal Vision Of Australia All About Wealth At Any Cost For The Few These people at the heart of these big 4 consultancy firms have earned millions of dollars. They live in big houses in exclusive suburbs worth millions of dollars, and they drive very smart cars. Insider trading is illegal and yet these accountants have trod an inside track thanks to their Coalition mates in power. A decade of Coalition governments has overseen the massive expansion of private consultants taking over the public service. Liberals screwing the Australian people for their own advantage. Profits and avoiding public scrutiny by Abbott, Turnbull, and Morrison are at the heart of this betrayal of trust. “The previous Coalition government spent $20.8bn outsourcing more than a third of public service operations, an audit has found. The federal government released the findings of the Australian public service audit of employment on Saturday, which examined the hiring practices and associated costs of 112 public service agencies, excluding the CSIRO, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and parliamentary departments. It found the equivalent of nearly 54,000 full-time staff were employed as consultants or service providers for the federal government during the 2021-2022 financial year – the equivalent of 37% of the 144,300-employee public service.” - (Stephanie Convery, The Guardian, 6 May 2023) Conservative voters in Australia are hoodwinked into voting for the Coalition on the basis of socially conservative policies. Meanwhile, we are all shafted via insider trading for their mates and plum government contracts for wealthy friends in the consultancy business. Hundreds of millions of dollars of public funds being siphoned off into the hands of these dubious individuals. Donald Trump and the Republicans have written the modern rule book for this grifting behaviour in government in recent times. Trump is a hero for these conservatives combining billion dollar grift with authoritarian power to keep any dissenting voices in check. Look at the list of questionable activities undertaken during the Abbott, Turnbull, and Morrison governments. - Climate change and global warming – the Coalition has put back Australia at least a couple of decades via their inaction and manipulation of government policies in this space. - Consultancy Crisis/Gutting the Public Service – tens of billions of dollars going into private hands via overcharging, wasteful practices, and neutering public scrutiny and the voice of the public service. - Robodebt – the Robodebt scheme was cooked up by Scott Morrison and was illegal, but put into practice anyway. 500, 000 Australians were wrongly accused of owing large amounts of money to the government. People killed themselves in despair over this! A settled class action has cost taxpayers $1.6 billion so far. A Royal Commission was scathing in its condemnation and recommendations for further prosecution against those administering the scheme. Scott Morrison, of course, denies any wrong doing and responsibility for something he instigated. - Sports Rorts – pork barrelling taken to another level, as Coalition ministers direct spending to swing voter seats in a bid to shore up support for their electoral cause. Australians in Labor seats miss out on investment into their infrastructure because of where they reside and the political bellwether situation. - Uluru Statement from the Heart – 10 years of Coalition government denied this call from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians for a place at the big table. Whenever Liberal/National governments come to power they invariably dismantle and defund Indigenous bodies and programs, which were established by Labor governments to close the gap. Whether it is politics over concern for First Nations’ people or just out and out racism the end result is the same. Is it any wonder that First Nations’ Australians want a Voice to Parliament written into the Constitution. Peter Dutton is leading the No vote against the Voice in the referendum. The Nationals also oppose it. Mean spirited, racist, and, generally, lacking compassion are all ways to describe this behaviour. - Housing Crisis - Where has all the social housing in Australia gone? Neoliberal economic policies have given everything over to the private sector and the profit motive. Needy and vulnerable? Tough luck, you're stuffed in Oz these days. - Corporate Profits Driving Inflation - A concentration of corporate power via takeovers and mergers means that price setting is rife in Australia. Bugger all competition (where and what has the ACCC been up to?) in the banking sector, supermarkets, audit firms, airlines, real estate, mining, energy sector, and everywhere you seek to do business is an oligopoly.

Top 10 Ranking Guide to Dublin, Ireland – The CEO’s Guide to Top Companies, Government Agencies, and Investment Executive Education

Introduction

Dublin, the capital city of Ireland, is a vibrant and historic metropolis known for its rich literary heritage, lively culture, and economic dynamism. As the largest city in Ireland, Dublin serves as the political, economic, and cultural center of the country. The government operates under a parliamentary democracy where power is divided among three branches: the executive, legislative, and judicial. The head of state is the President of Ireland, currently Michael D. Higgins, while the head of government is the Taoiseach (Prime Minister), currently Leo Varadkar. 

The executive branch is responsible for implementing laws and administering public policies. The Taoiseach appoints ministers who oversee various government departments. The legislative branch, known as the Oireachtas, consists of two houses: Dáil Éireann (House of Representatives) and Seanad Éireann (Senate). Members of Dáil Éireann are elected by popular vote, while Senators are appointed or elected through various means. The judicial branch ensures that laws are interpreted fairly and protects citizens' rights through an independent court system. 

Ireland's political system emphasizes democratic values and civil liberties, providing a stable environment for businesses to flourish. English is the primary language spoken in Dublin, but Irish (Gaeilge) is also recognized as an official language. The rule of law is a fundamental principle in Ireland, ensuring that all citizens are treated equally and justly under the law.

Novaland chấm dứt hợp đồng kiểm toán với PwC sau gần 10 năm hợp tác

Lý do Novaland kết thúc hợp đồng với PwC

Công ty Cổ phần Tập đoàn Đầu tư Địa ốc No Va (Novaland, mã: NVL) vừa thông báo chấm dứt hợp tác với Công ty TNHH PwC Việt Nam - đơn vị kiểm toán đã đồng hành với tập đoàn từ năm 2015. Hợp đồng kiểm toán giữa hai bên đã chính thức được thanh lý vào ngày 19/11/2024. Nguyên nhân chính được Novaland đưa ra là do dịch vụ kiểm toán của PwC không đáp ứng yêu cầu cần thiết để đảm bảo tiến độ kiểm toán và công bố báo cáo tài chính đúng quy định, ảnh hưởng trực tiếp đến tình hình niêm yết của doanh nghiệp.

Novaland nhấn mạnh rằng trong quá trình hợp tác, đã xảy ra tình trạng chậm trễ trong công bố thông tin tại một số thời điểm của năm 2023 và 2024. Hơn nữa, hai bên không thể thống nhất được lịch trình phát hành báo cáo kiểm toán năm 2024 theo đúng yêu cầu pháp luật. Điều này khiến cổ phiếu NVL bị cắt margin và rơi vào diện cảnh báo, gây bất lợi lớn cho Novaland trên thị trường chứng khoán.

Trong các báo cáo tài chính hợp nhất năm 2022 và 2023, PwC đã đưa ra nhiều ý kiến nhấn mạnh về giả định hoạt động liên tục của Novaland. Cụ thể, nửa đầu năm 2024, Novaland chậm công bố báo cáo tài chính soát xét bán niên với lý do số lượng giao dịch và chứng từ tăng cao. Kết quả kiểm toán cho thấy doanh nghiệp lỗ ròng 7.327 tỷ đồng, trái ngược với con số tự lập lãi 345 tỷ đồng. PwC cũng yêu cầu Novaland phải trích lập dự phòng nghĩa vụ thuế hơn 4.300 tỷ đồng liên quan đến dự án Lakeview City tại TP Thủ Đức, gây nhiều tranh cãi.

Moore AISC - Đơn vị kiểm toán mới của Novaland

Sau khi chấm dứt hợp đồng với PwC, Novaland đã lựa chọn Công ty TNHH Kiểm toán và Dịch vụ Tin học Moore AISC làm đơn vị kiểm toán cho báo cáo tài chính năm 2024. Theo Novaland, Moore AISC đáp ứng đầy đủ các tiêu chí về uy tín, năng lực, kinh nghiệm trong lĩnh vực bất động sản và không có xung đột lợi ích với tập đoàn.

Moore AISC là thành viên của mạng lưới Moore Global Network Limited - một trong những tổ chức kế toán và kiểm toán lớn trên thế giới, có trụ sở tại London. Việc hợp tác với đơn vị này được kỳ vọng sẽ cải thiện chất lượng kiểm toán, tăng cường tính minh bạch và độ chính xác trong báo cáo tài chính của Novaland. Tập đoàn cũng khẳng định đây là bước đi mang lại lợi ích lớn cho cổ đông và các nhà đầu tư.

Tính đến cuối tháng 9/2024, Novaland ghi nhận tổng tài sản đạt hơn 232.000 tỷ đồng, với hơn 145.000 tỷ đồng tồn kho. Tổng nợ phải trả của doanh nghiệp ở mức 191.400 tỷ đồng, trong đó các khoản nợ trái phiếu chiếm gần 39.000 tỷ đồng. Để cải thiện tình hình tài chính, Novaland đã xử lý 15 tài sản và ghi nhận dòng tiền hơn 25.400 tỷ đồng từ hoạt động thanh lý bất động sản.

Theo Novaland, sự thay đổi đơn vị kiểm toán sẽ giúp doanh nghiệp củng cố niềm tin của nhà đầu tư, đảm bảo chất lượng kiểm toán, đồng thời tăng cường hiệu quả công bố thông tin trong bối cảnh tài chính đầy thách thức.

The Impact of Metaverse Technology on India’s Digital Transformation

India’s digital transformation journey has been nothing short of remarkable, marked by rapid advancements in technology, widespread internet penetration, and a burgeoning digital economy. Over the past decade, the country has seen internet usage surge from just 10% in 2011 to over 50% in 2023, reflecting a rapid shift towards digitalization across various sectors.

As the nation strides forward, the Metaverse—an immersive digital universe that blends physical and virtual realities—is emerging as the next frontier in this evolution. A 2022 study by Deloitte estimates that the Metaverse could contribute up to 2.4% of India’s GDP by 2030, highlighting its potential to play a pivotal role in reshaping industries, enhancing digital experiences, and accelerating India’s digital transformation.

A 2023 report by PwC further supports this, predicting that by 2030, the Metaverse AI could generate nearly $1.5 trillion globally, with India expected to be one of the leading contributors.

Matthew Ball, a leading expert on the Metaverse, offers insight into this transformation, noting, “The Metaverse is not a place, it’s a moment in time when the digital world becomes more valuable than the physical one.”

As India embraces this transformative moment, the Metaverse will open up new opportunities across sectors like business, education, and entertainment, driven by innovative metaverse companies in India, propelling the nation toward an even more connected and digitally empowered future.

Driving Factors Behind India's Digital Transformation

India’s digital transformation is driven by several key factors:

Government Initiatives: Programs like Digital India (2015) have expanded internet access and promoted digital literacy.

Internet Penetration: Over 50% of the population is online, thanks to affordable data and widespread smartphone use.

Technological Innovation: Advances in AI, blockchain, and cloud computing are transforming industries and driving growth.

Startup Ecosystem: A thriving startup scene is disrupting traditional industries with innovative digital solutions.

E-commerce Growth: Platforms like Flipkart and Amazon have made online shopping mainstream, boosting digital transactions.

Digital Payments: UPI revolutionized payments, processing over 8 billion monthly transactions by 2023.

Youth Demographics: A young, tech-savvy population is fueling demand for digital services and platforms.

These factors collectively position India as a global leader in digital innovation.

Case Studies: Metaverse Applications in India

India is rapidly embracing the Metaverse, leveraging this innovative technology across various sectors. Here are some notable case studies showcasing how the Metaverse is being applied in India:

1. Education and Training

BITS Pilani's Metaverse Convocation

BITS Pilani, one of India’s premier educational institutions, made headlines by hosting its convocation on the ibentos Metaverse platform. This groundbreaking event allowed graduates to experience their convocation in a fully immersive, virtual environment. Students created avatars, interacted with peers, and received their degrees in a 3D digital setting. This innovative approach not only brought the global BITS Pilani community together but also set a new standard for how educational institutions can leverage the Metaverse for large-scale events.

2. Retail and E-commerce

Reliance Retail

Reliance Retail has ventured into the Metaverse by creating virtual shopping experiences where customers can explore digital stores, interact with products in 3D, and make purchases using digital currencies. This initiative is part of their broader strategy to integrate physical and digital shopping, providing customers with a seamless and engaging retail experience.

3. Real Estate

Hiranandani Group

The Hiranandani Group, a major real estate developer, has adopted Metaverse technology to offer virtual property tours. Prospective buyers can explore properties in a fully immersive environment, complete with 3D walkthroughs and interactive features. This has revolutionized the way real estate is marketed and sold, making it easier for buyers to make informed decisions from anywhere in the world.

4. Healthcare

Apollo Hospitals

Apollo Hospitals has implemented Metaverse applications in healthcare training and patient care. Through VR simulations, medical students and professionals can practice surgeries and complex procedures in a risk-free environment. Additionally, virtual consultations and therapy sessions are being offered to patients, expanding access to healthcare services across the country.

These case studies highlight how the Metaverse is not just a futuristic concept but a present-day reality in India, transforming industries and creating new opportunities for innovation and growth.

Benefits of Metaverse Adoption

1. Enhanced Collaboration and Communication

The Metaverse fosters real-time, interactive communication in virtual environments, improving remote teamwork. According to a 2023 Gartner report, virtual collaboration tools are expected to increase team productivity by 25%.

2. New Economic Opportunities

The Metaverse creates new revenue streams through virtual real estate and digital goods. A 2022 PwC study predicts the Metaverse could contribute $1.5 trillion to the global economy by 2030.

3. Immersive Learning and Training

Virtual environments enhance learning and training experiences. A 2023 report by Deloitte highlights that immersive training can improve knowledge retention by up to 70%.

4. Personalized Customer Experiences
