The auditing profession in South Africa has recently received significant attention from the legislature with the promulgation of the Auditing Profession Act 26 of 2005, which repeals the Public Accountants' and Auditors' Act 80 of 1991 (the PAA Act) and makes far-reaching changes aimed at effective oversight of the profession as a whole. The profession has, however, also received the attention of the judiciary, and in a way that may be disconcerting to its members.

Given that about 80 per cent of Singaporeans live in public housing estates, town councils are an integral part of Singapore life. Last month, the Ministry of National Development (MND) initiated a public consultation on the proposed amendments to the Town Councils Act (TCA), which was first enacted in 1988 to empower elected Members of Parliament and unelected town councillors to run public housing estates

The purpose of this article is to qualify the hypothesis that states that the presence of committed workers contributes to organizational success. So, it is necessary to clarify first of all what type of commitment and what kind of success is meant. The article then examines which variables the organization needs to act upon in order to influence it. A survey questionnaire was developed and distributed to academic staff at a public university in Spain. Data were analyzed using two ordered logit models, one for each type of commitment analyzed: affective commitment and continuance commitment. Analysis of the data shows that personal variables have a positive impact on affective commitment, and, while job-related characteristics do not appear to be significant, group variables such as working atmosphere have a positive impact. With respect to continuance commitment, age proved to be negatively significant and possession of a doctorate has a positive influence. The variables used to capture available opportunities to leave the organization are negatively significant. Points for practitioners The results that emerge can help educational managers to understand the predictors of the different types of commitment and design effective human resource policies. The empirical application is carried out in an organization within the services sector, specifically, a public university in Spain. A further contribution is the incorporation of variables from all categories or groups of antecedents, which permits a thorough diagnosis.

AbstractA recent Ninth U.S. District Court decision on a biological opinion for Fort Huachuca in Arizona reinforces the
requirement that federal agencies are ultimately responsible for their obligations to conserve endangered and
threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. This decision has direct implications for the Army's
attempt to gain a favorable biological opinion for training activities on the recently acquired expansion lands at
Fort Irwin, California. Irrespective of whether or not the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issues a favorable
biological opinion, the Army must independently demonstrate that it is undertaking specific, measurable mitigation
activities that will assure the recovery of the desert tortoise and other endangered or threatened species
affected by its expansion activities. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
