Financial accounting:  Broadly deals with the overall operations of the organization.  It deals with the accounting for all the general ledger accounts.\n\nManagement accounting:  Broadly deals with assigning of costs, such as overhead, direct/indirect labor and materials to cost objects (output).  Here's a link for more information on management accounting: http://www.imanet.org/ima/sec.asp?TRACKID=&CID=5&DID=5\n\nThis is really a basic overview for you, I don't have the time to go in depth of the advantages and disadvantages - they would differ between different people's viewpoints.  You just need to gather hard facts and determine what each field has advantages and disadvantages in the context of your opinion.

Power does not always corrupt! Power is all about responsibility and progress. Power corrupts because most people aim for power without preparing for the position. People don't care to prepare themselves for the position rather they agitate and do everything possible to get there only to find out that they are at least a step behind in everything. When one is in charge his/her everything is put on the line including morality. Nobody is given responsibility beyond his power but its another thing to identify and appreciate the power. In secular or spiritual, power should not corrupt but the level to which one prepares for the position and the resources available will make a lot of difference. The only precaution to take is consistency, transparency and fairness.

The difference is between active and passive harm.  In any area of life, whether it be politics, business, or childcare, one can do harm passively by not doing what they should.  This is bad.  One can also do harm by actively pursuing harm.  This is not only bad, but intentionally bad.  The difference may not be obvious by the outcome, but is clearly obvious in the intent.  Many neglectful parents can be rehabilitated through education and changing priorities, but the truly abusive may not be as easily re-directed.  So, I think the distinction is important, at least when looking at the issue sociologically.

I am well agreed with the answer of Edna T.\nAccounting is a profession that involves lot of responsibilities and lot of authorities. When somebody has authority to do something then there are more chances to misuse the sources.\nAs accountants have authority so they should also being controlled by an independent authority that formulate the rules and bounderies for them, in order to run the work smoothly and without misconceptions.\nThe worldwide governing body for accounts is "International Federation of Accountants" IFAC\nand there are lot of óther local bodies of every country.

You are ultimately responsible for your actions.  If someone wrongs you then you have to decide how to react.  If you are angry then that is your choice.  It doesn't mean that you don't have a right to be angry or shouldn't be angry, it just means that you chose to be angry.  The other person isn't responsible for your reaction, but they are responsible for having failed to meet an obligation and they are responsible for creating a situation that had a negative affect on you.  So over all you are responsible for you choice but that doesn't let them off scott free to do as they please and blame you.

They result in the same thing - money out of your pocket.  Duties usually involve importing and exporting.  Taxes involve income or purchases.

Rights and responsibilities are interdependent and interactive in a sense.  The rights and responsibilities that apply in the real world also apply in the kindergarten classroom.  Consider the United Nations Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the specific rights and freedoms granted as a citizen of your own country.\n\nOf course, with all rights come responsibilities.  If we have a right to a safe environment, we have a responsibility to not do anyting to make another's environment unsafe.  We have a right to learn, and a responsibiity to not prevent others from learning, etc.\n\nI hope these thoughts help.

Nope, I think you are probably a responsible citizen :-)

I believe that parents should be held responsible to a certain extent, but, you can preach and preach to your kids about what's right and wrong and they still may not listen. I firmly believe that you CANNOT hide everything from your kids. Society has a very big part in shaping idea's into a child's mind. The child should be held criminally responsible to the extent of the law, unless the parent forced or helped the child do the act, then both should be held responsible.

Isn't it better to blame God than to take responsibility for your own actions?

There are multiple possible standards.\n\nCriminal negligence is where the person was responsible for stopping the criminal, and failed to exercise due care in doing so. This only applies where the person owed a legal duty to act.\n\nReckless endangerment is where the person had a legal duty to act or at least a duty to reduce the risk of harm, and choose to either not act or to disregard that risk of harm. The difference is that negligence is an objective standard (what they should have done), while recklessness involves a subjectively known duty/risk.\n\nCriminal facilitation (accomplice liability) is where the person knew they were helping the criminal commit the crime, and helped them anyway.

Personal responsibility is a great thing if you get the chances and the playing field is even.\nThat's first thing I know about it.\nI also know it's a term abused by rich right wingers to justify poverty.\nMost really rich people are still born into wealth and personal responsibility has nothing or little to do with it.\nRespect for anyone who makes something of their life,regardless where it started but it's foolish to suggest where you come from doesn't effect the chance you have to make something of your life.If you have the misfortune to be born extremely poor,personal responsibility will not cut it.You need a Little help.\nIf you see it at a global scale,it's even mean and reckless to blame all people's misery on lack of personal responsibility.If you are born in Africa at this moment and you're not part of the privileged few chances are you'll be poor,whatever you do.\nPersonal responsibility is great and needed but at the same time anyone should realize it is also a luxury that in some instances doesn't cut it

Ultimate responsibility lies with the person in charge, and if you cannot accept that, you need to take a subordinate role. If your underlings cannot perform to proper standards, they must be replaced.
