As a company grows and expands into new markets, it may be necessary to establish branches with some degree of autonomy in order to provide a better service to clients. The degree of autonomy granted to the managers of such branches by the head office and the accounting records maintained by these branches, differ considerably from one enterprise to the next.The accounting system used to record branch transactions can also vary considerably from the centralised accounting system, where processing is done entirely by head office, to a basically decentralised ac

I’ve invented and patented several products that are clever, useful, and saleable. Wal-Mart even gave one of them their highest grade when I sent them the plans through their little-known, inventors program. So why aren’t I rich? That’s a reasonable question.

By positioning him as a judge who would comment on legal issues in the news (and there were a lot of big cases at the time) we generated a great ‘buzz.’ When all was said and done, he appeared on well over a hundred shows across the nation. And, during the course of those interviews, the hosts gave him ample time to discuss his book and plug it.

For instance, we had a client who had written a book instructing people on how to get their “estates” in order…while the Terri Schiavo controversy happened to be raging.

Needless to say, this author was a hot commodity on talk radio and got a huge amount of media attention for himself and his book.
