The Legal Concept of Changing the Status of a Legal Entity from a Commanditaire Vennootschap (Limited Partnership) to a Limited Liability Company

/in /by

There is no detailed legal concept regarding CV, especially when businesses want to change CV to LLC, including the deed of the changing of CV to LLC and the authority of each ally. CV regulations are still guided by the Commercial Code and Civil Code, while technical regulations refer to MoLHR Number 17 of 2018. The research indicates that while the LLC establishment deed contains a statement that all assets and liabilities of the dissolved CV become the authorized capital of the LLC, the CV dissolution deed contains a statement that the CV is declared dissolved and transferred to a LLC. Additionally, the legal concept of CV needs to be governed by a separate law, so the government must review and assess the 2018 Draft Law on Legal Plans of Business Entities, which needs to incorporate provisions for CV continuity into the CVR concept adopted from the Dutch Draft Law on Legal Plans of Partnership and CV to LLC. Through a qualitative research approach called normative juridical with a statutory approach and a comparative approach, the research aims to reconstruct and identify the legal concept of changing CV to LLC in the Netherlands in comparison to the Nieuw Burgerlijk Wetboek and the Draft Law on Legal Plan of Partnership.

Classical Abstraction versus Romantic Abstraction: Towards a Shift in Consciousness

/in /by

In this brief essay, I outline the two fundamental strands of art: The Classical and the Romantic. I illustrate these notions with key examples culled from the history of art. I argue that an extreme of either side propels art forward, but this is opposed to the larger stream of life in which balance and a middle road is called for. I then argue that through consciousness of art (…or science…etc.) and of the aesthetic, a second-order reflective stance is possible which, together with a moral sensibility, evolves a consciousness that may improve the quality of life for individuals and collectively.

/in /by

The purpose of this study is to obtain empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of audit committees and the quality of external auditors on the possibility of fraudulent financial statements. The population in this study are banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The method used in this study is a quantitative method using secondary data which is measured using ratios and statistical processing.

The reason underlying the results of this study is that the independence contained in the audit committee has not contributed to avoiding the likelihood of fraudulent financial reporting in a company. External auditor quality does not significantly influence the possibility of fraudulent financial reporting. This is because most companies use the services of non-Big Four Audit Firms to audit their financial statements. Simultaneously, it can be stated that the effectiveness of the audit committee and the quality of the external auditors significantly influence the possibility of fraudulent financial reporting. It is also concluded that the predicting power of the model is high.
