"Land management categories should be disaggregated in emissions reporting and targets".
"Targets should acknowledge the need for Geological Net Zero, meaning one tonne of CO₂ permanenty restored to the solid Earth from every tonne still generated from fossil sources."
"By adding to cumulative emissions, any entity, country or corporation adds to the total passive carbon sink that needs protection for the foreseeable future."Allen et al. (2024). https://rdcu.be/d9Rnm

Tech billionaires consider a threat everything from documentation to whistleblowing.
“Another way to look at this is that billionaires have joined a war on professional administrative class of public servants precisely because of their proximity to formal mechanisms of accountability.”

Why #Crypto Might Be a Big Mistake
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zpijANwCIQ
Crypto is not money. It’s not secure. It’s not stable. It’s just speculation wrapped in dogma — and a huge risk to society.

Had a great session on Monday this week involving some lovely people from the #Accountancy trade and linked to the #InstituteofFinancialAccountants #IFA
We're working up a new #Degree #Apprenticeship programme using the Accounting #Finance Manager standard: https://www.instituteforapprenticeships.org/apprenticeship-standards/st1303-v1-0 and are gathering input and insight from local employers about how to build a comprehensive, accessible and valuable programme of study that means they have futureproof skills in their businesses.

Also; if your previous technology choices made this hard... That means a wider discussion to fix it, and don’t let outside people pressure you into compromising on data intregity in systems that need auditing. The bad ones will throw your reputation away anyway if they pressure you to do bad work and it messes up later #databasedesign #DatabaseDevelopers #systemDesign #Accountancy #Audit

The nuance that seems to come up is parent records with child records - ie if you remove the association, the associated child audit entries disappear.
Its easier to see the issue if you remove this type of record keeping to other situations- ie if a foster parent looks after a child, say the kid breaks a leg playing football while under the care of the carer, then the kid moves on…. You’d want to know that both the kid had the accident with the carer and that the carer looked after a kid that had an accident while with them. Both sets of information either end are needed. The accident shouldn’t disappear from the carer’s record.
Yet you hear this from system designers or developers.

I’m starting to think that anyone who designs or builds systems that handle data should do a basic bookkeeping course that covers how double entry works.
The accountants managed to work out for us since the 13th Century that if you move money from A to B, both A and B need an audit entry describing the movement each way. Write only - nothing is removed. Yet I don’t see an equivalent teaching in the various system design books, despite this concept being fundamental to any system that needs (financial and non-financial) auditing capabilities.

Ursula M. Franklin on @economics, #accountancy and #bookkeeping:
"In order to make socially responsible decisions, a community requires three sets of books. One is the customary dollars-and-cents book […]. The second book relates to people and social impacts. It catalogues the human and community gains and losses as faithfully as the ongoing financial gains and losses documented in the first book. In the third book, environmental accounting is recorded."

If you think #accountancy can't be interesting here's @RichardJMurphy forensic account of how a large chunk of the UK's national debt is actually an illusion.
Why might this be important?
In 2024, the #Tories & any incoming #Labour administration will use the level of public debt as a reason for the continuation of #austerity & a refusal to invest in the public sector & vital #infrastructure.
When either Hunt or Reeves makes that point recall Murphy's reasoning!
