ICAEW’s response highlights five steps it believes should be the focus for reform: 1) Set up ARGA quickly and focus its remit on improvement “Throughout its work, ARGA should emphasise its role as an improvement regulator,” says Iain Wright, ICAEW’s Managing Director, Reputation and Influence. ARGA should follow the BEIS Regulators’ Code in supporting those it regulates to work to improve quality and build capacity while remaining compliant. 2) Make directors more accountable for internal controls The government should bring into force a more robust UK regime for accountability over internal control,

The formulation of the law aimed at ensuring road safety, averting accidents and restoring discipline to the roads. The RTA is a big breakthrough in extending the legislative landscape on road safety, replacing the Motor Vehicles Ordinance, 1983. But it is frustrating as the law is yet to commence in full even after elapse of over two and half years. The government is in a dilemma over balancing the interests of passengers and that of vehicle owners with their workers. The government is apparently more submissive to transport owners and workers than those who use such vehicles and are victim

Some water users, however, accuse the state of taking a heavy-handed and overly expensive approach that will force landowners to install devices in areas that don’t need them. The move comes as Western states struggle to manage water resources amid an historic drought, climate change, and a growing supply-and-demand imbalance. In some watersheds, government officials don’t know how much agricultural users—thought to be responsible for upwards of 90% of water consumption—are using. “You can’t administer water rights if you don’t know how much water people are taking,” said Kevin Rein, Colorado

Personalization memory may account for 70 percent of the chip’s transistors, and the programmed circuit configuration may waste (leave unused) most of the transistors in a logic element. A logic element configured as a simple AND gate, for instance, wastes almost all of its transistors. Indeed, in every configuration of a logic element, some of the transistors are unused. And long wires and transistor connections at wire intersections in the PLD slow circuit operation. The bottom line is that, for complex functions, current PLDs are big, slow, power hungry, and expensive, and they come with high
