Financing Higher Education in Africa $14.99 Sustainable growth in SSA is contingent on the capacity of States to diversify their economies and thus train human capital that will help carry out and support this transformation. Higher education plays a key role in training qualified individuals who will be able to implement new technologies, and use innovative methods to establish cost-efficient and effective enterprises and institutions. Through research and increased knowledge, higher education can also help address the challenges arising from the increase in the size of the population, limited arable land, endemic diseases, urbanization, energy costs, and climate change. However, in order for SSA to reap the benefits of this investment in human capital, higher education institutions must secure financing to provide quality training and sound professional prospects to their students. Currently, tertiary education development is unsustainable, resources per student are declining, and the quality of education is affected. These issues are particularly pressing in times of financial global crisis when available resources for tertiary education uncontrovertibly tend to diminish. The impact of the crisis that started in 2008 provides a clear illustration of the need to explore innovative ways to diversify and secure financing for higher education in SSA. This report provides a comprehensive overview of higher education financing in SSA, aiming to: (i) explain the fundamental financial problems faced by higher education under the combined pressure of a rapidly growing demand and the scarcity of public resources, and to present the dramatic consequences of this trend on quality; (ii) analyze and compare the current funding policies in SSA countries to provide directions for improvement; and (iii) examine the alternatives to the status quo and the policy tools to diversify resources and to allocate resources based on performance.

Land For Sale In Texas-The New Generation Way To Look For Land

Realtors can still help you find property at a price you can afford and information regarding land for sale in Texas.  Many sellers still prefer to list their properties in this manner.  In recent years there has been a shift towards selling property without the help of a realtor.  The main reason people attempt to sell without a realtor is because they feel they can save money by not paying a commission to a realtor.  I don't want to say this never happens because it does; however, it can be very hard to get the exposure for your listings for land for sale in Texas like a realtor can.

That's the way it has been for many years, however thanks to the world wide web this has changed.  Many websites, such as Texas Landsource exists to help those who have property for sale in Texas to advertise.  A specific rate is charged for services rendered and you can post pictures of the property as well as information about the property.  Besides a great title and description, be sure to include contact information and the asking price in case someone is looking at the websites and needs more information.

These websites are not just for those trying to sell their properties personally, but many realtors like to use these sites so they can get more prospective buyers looking at the Texas properties for sale.  The more realtors that post on this website, the more time you can save as a buyer in searching for the properties you would like to visit. Your goal needs to be to get as many people as possible to see each property which increases the potential of selling the property quickly and at the asking price and not having to settle for less.

The internet has changed the way people shop for everything including land for sale in Texas.  With everyone being in a rush these days, it is great to sit down at night and look at one website and see combined listings of many realtors. The buyer can narrow down his/her properties interested in and save a lot of time.  This makes so much sense that you can have done a little homework before contacting a realtor.  With maps and information in hand you can make one trip to a Realtor and get all your viewing done at once.

Texas Landsource has been using the Internet to help buyers and sellers who have property for sale In Texas.  You can browse hundreds of land and home listings that have pictures and full descriptions of the property.  All listings include information regarding who to contact if interested.

Where Do Yield Investors Put Their Money Today? Where can you find 10%+ Yields from property?

With the property markets now under-going correction from their highs in 2006-2007 across most of the developed world, and savings rates at an all-time low, cash-rich investors are seeking returns on their capital like never before. Gone are the days of investments baked with the expectation of capital growth, investments now need to "stack up" in terms of cashflow from day 1. That's not to say capital values are being ignored, far from it. Investors increasingly seek stable investments that provide a measurable and regular return. So markets should be in some sort of equilibrium in terms of supply versus demand, and capital values holding steady. In many ways then, conditions are back to normal in many respects for serious portfolio landlords.

So where are yield investors looking today? Working on the ProVenture team, we get to talk to yield investors every day from across the world and it is interesting to pick up on trends in their strategies. We hear about where investors have placed their hard-earned cash in the past, and where and why they are looking to invest in the coming years. Inevitably, many of the investors we speak to are focused on Germany as a place to invest for the coming years as this is our main area of operation as property consultants. But increasingly, we discuss investments in eastern Europe, other parts of western Europe and the USA as viable investment locations.

Let's look at some different markets and find out what is drawing investors to them at this stage of the economic cycle.

USA

What an interesting market to look at, as we write this piece in August 2010. The USA is the home of raw capitalism, and this harsh approach applies to the property market in much the same way as the money and equity markets. Despite the assets in question being people's homes and security, they seem exposed to harsh write-downs more than other countries, and this brings sorrow and hardship for those shielding loses and inevitable opportunities for investors.

Taking a historical perspective on the market, we see that the USA has typically had an average level of owner-occupation between 1960-1990 of around 60%. Home ownership was a realistic aspiration for many, but not an imperative like in other markets such as UK or Spain where owner-occupation rates have been as high as 85-90%. This led to, in most locations, a stable market to invest within and a ready supply of short to longer term tenants. The credit bubble of 1996-2006 changed all this.

During the period of low interest rates, sectors of the population who up until then could not aspire to home ownership at their stage of life, if at all, entered the market on "teaser" loans, affordable for the first few years of the loan but become crippling as the loan rates reverted to usual market rates or higher. This greed on lenders parts, and their shocking lack of due diligence into individual's ability to pay, had a now famous global effect. Currently, 14% of the population are behind on mortgage payments or are in foreclosure. This is an average, and some markets have double this rate. That's 9 million homes in trouble, double that are households sitting on negative-equity. So where are we now, and is the USA a place worthy of investment research? It is safe to say, the market is still largely bereft of confidence and sharp declines have been felt pretty much across the board. But are there areas that have suffered steeper declines than are justified?

Well, the USA is a huge market. Let's focus on one city, Orlando [Florida] as a case study.

The Orlando region derives much of its economic power from tourism, business conventions, medial and hi-tech research and the "grey dollar" or those retiring to the warm climes from more northern states or from abroad. The property market has grown with the huge rise in population, up 30% in the last decade alone. Typical in this region have been gated developments and condominiums growing mainly to the south of the city and spreading at an alarming pace in the empty land. The city or downtown area is well-established with some property dating back 100 years or more, broken up only by the high-rise developments which seemed viable during the credit bubble.

Construction of property can be standard construction, or more rapidly built units from pre-fabrication section. Use of wood in structural elements is often seen.

During the credit binge, Orlando was front and centre, financing and constructing homes to service both the local and tourist market. Depending on location and subdivision, property soared 200-300% from 1995-2005, unheard of growth rates in this market which has no scarcity value and seemingly limitless land in which to develop. Commercial development went just as mad. Business plans for "strip malls", small malls by the road side took off. Some areas of the city boast 10 Taco Bell franchised outlets in a 1km radius. All sectors of the property market, even in downtown locations, could be said to be very over supplied.

In terms of pricing, let's look at the price history of a high-end 2-bedroom apartment in the downtown district using the excellent zillo.com tool:

The graph shows that such a unit was being sold off plan in excess of $400k, now priced around $200k [or even cheaper navigating the foreclosure route].

In terms of rental potential, the downtown area enjoys solid demand. Around $1800-2000 should be expected per month, bringing a healthly 12% or so yield.

Why would you buy this? Well, the current low capital value is compelling, as is the location of the unit in the downtown area which enjoys some degree of scarcity value. It is an interesting proposition.

Why wouldn't you buy? Well, considering the lack of confidence in the marketplace, finance will be very difficult for the first few years of the hold. It should be best considered a cash purchase, so the power of leverage is not as easy here. Additionally, it really is not clear where capital values will go, but for a cash investor looking for a sustainable yield, this is a strong option.

The German Market

Over the last 10 years or so, property markets around the world have experienced rates of capital growth typically between 200-300%, fuelled by cheap and plentiful credit. There are few exceptions to this trend, one of them being Germany. Due to re-unification some 20 years ago, the property market in Germany, particularly in the old east, has been operating out of sync with other markets. Speculation by mainly western German buyers fuelled a boom which ended around 1996. As investors were chasing rents that were not achievable, the German market gave way and went into decline from around 1996 – 2001. This was the same time that most markets around the world experienced their greatest growth rates. Prices have stabilised in most areas from 2001 and shown some capital appreciation in certain areas, particularly the good locations in the bigger cities such as Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Berlin.

Market Features:

The residential market differs considerably from other locations, with more robust tenant laws and longer typical residence times. Typically, a residential unit will be offered for letting totally unfurnished, without kitchen units, light fittings or even flooring. The incoming tenant will provide all their own furnishings and stay for a longer period, typically on average about 7 years. Tenants sign contracts of a defined period but are effectively on a lifetime lease thereafter, only needing to move out if they are not regular with their payments or the landlord (or close family) which to occupy the unit. Tenants must give 3 month's notice to quit and will repair and decorate the unit to a good condition when vacating.

Finance for Nationals and international buyers is usually set around 60-80% loan to value. The level of finance depending on the client's income and the rental value of the property. Typical interest rates are fixed for 5 or 10 years and around 1.3% above the Euro 5 or 10 year swap rate. So at present rates are around 3% for a 5 year fix and 3.8% for a 10 year fix.

Typical Prices:

Property, both commercial and residential tends to be priced per sqm and not by room or bedroom number. Therefore, investments can be easily compared by size, price and location. Residential property can be purchased either on a single basis or by purchasing a complete block of apartments. Purchasing a complete block tends to reduce the price per sqm paid. Some typical prices per sqm in the major cities, depending on size and location:

• Berlin – 1.000 – 2.000 Eur psm
• Frankfurt – 2.500 – 4.000 Eur psm
• Munich – 3.500 – 5.000 Eur psm

Locations to the east of Germany (Dresden, Leipzig, Chemnitz for example) have properties in a good refurbished condition from 500 Eur psm. Remarkable value and the most undervalues market in the world according to the OECD. Location in terms of sustainability of rent is crucial in these locations.

As an example apartment block, below is a unit in Leipzig with 19 apartments. The purchase price is 420k euro and a yield of around 12% net is achieved.

Typical Yields:

In the same way that property is marketed for sale, rental property is priced per sqm. The rental is often broken down in to "cold" and "warm" rent, with the cold rent being the income to the investor and the warm rent covering all bills including ground tax and routine property maintenance. Cold rents start at around 4 Eur psm in the very cheapest parts of cities to the east of Germany with cold rents in cities such as Munich reaching 12 Eur psm and above in many cases. Yields range between around 5% for single apartments in Munich, Frankfurt and Hamburg to around 10-12% when bought as a block in cities such as Dresden, Leipzig and Chemnitz. Berlin offers the complete range of yields and is a very diverse market.

Running Costs:

Costs during ownership are transparent and are comparatively low. The majority of deductions to run the property are taken from the "warm rent" or ancillary cost and should not be included in yield calculations. This includes basic building maintenance, communal area cleaning, buildings insurance and property tax. From the net rent, apart from unplanned maintenance, the cost of letting management is the primary deduction. There are a variety of fee structures for letting management including a flat fee per apartment or a percentage of the rent collected. Letting management typically costs between 5-10% of net rents, depending on area and fee structure chosen.

Positive Investment Aspects:

• Hands-off investment – long-term tenants, unfurnished propertyletting
• Well regulated and robust tenant and property management practices
• High rental yields possible, to fit all investor types
• Good finance available, at competitive levels of interest
• Reliable legal and land registry system
• Transparent running costs

Negative Investment Aspects:

• Robust tenant laws – a tenant cannot just be removed unless they do not pay rent
• High purchase costs (between 10-12%)
• High yielding properties can be subject to a forced sell and can be problematic to deliver

View on Market:

Very good yields, underpinned by strong legal system and high levels of finance. Capital values very low in comparison with anywhere in the developed world. Truly unfurnished property allows for significant holdings to be built up in a relatively "hands-off" manner.

Where Next??

In terms of property in Europe, beyond Germany, yield investors have very few options. Markets are either stable but producing yields in the 3-6% range, or falling in capital value and difficult to predict the floor. Markets across the Eurozone and UK have a few years to run you would say before re-entering the market for yield and stability in capital value. Places that have experienced huge capital falls, but stabilise well in the coming years [with increasing wages as a key index] should be kept in mind. The following locations could be worth noting in years to come, with capital falls experienced in last 3 years:

• Lithuania [Vilinus, Kaunas] – 55% price fall
• Latvia [Riga] – 70% price fall
• Ukraine, Kiev – 55% price fall
• Further afield, yields on 8%+ can be found in:
  • Sao Paolo, Brazil 8.1%
  • Santiago, Chile 8.7%
  • Jakarta, Indonesia 11.1%
  • Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 8.7%

The diligence here should include analysis of finance availability, interest rates payable and currency stability. No good getting a 10% yield when the interest rate is 12%, or if the currency weakens significantly during the period of your hold.

Good luck in your hunt for yield.

Don't Think Twice Because You Need The Hunting Club Insurance

"I've known these guys for 20 years, they wouldn't sue me." If I have heard that once, I've heard it a thousand times. The truth be known, that is a very naïve statement. Generally, it is not the hunters that you have to worry about. What if the hunter by some freak of nature accidentally shoots the neighbor's son? The neighbor is going to come after whomever he feels has money and can be tied to the liability of the incident. You may know and trust your hunters but if one of them is a husband providing for his family and has a fatal accident on your property, do you think his wife cares how she gets the money to support her family? You cannot predict how someone is going to act when backed into a corner. A Hunting Club Insurance policy is the best way to protect you from unforeseen liabilities when accepting money for hunting rights.

Most states have passed laws that indemnify those that just give permission to hunt on their land. I know some folks that take cash so that they don't have anything in writing thus thinking they are protected by state statute. Come on. Do you really want to commit perjury when the plaintiff's attorney asks you under oath if you accepted money for the right to hunt on your land? Wouldn't it be a whole lot less stressful to let the insurance companies' attorney deal with it and defend you? This is one of the biggest benefits of buying liability insurance. The insurance company is obligated to defend you or make a settlement on your behalf. Think of the thousands of dollars you could spend just defending yourself against a frivolous claim if you are not insured.

Then there are those that say they don't need Hunting Club Insurance because they made the lessees sign an indemnification clause as part of the lease. I do recommend this to be part of the hunting lease agreement but truthfully the release of liability clause is not worth the paper on which it is written. The same rules above apply. The person that signed the lease is probably not who you should be worried about. Do yourself a favor and spend the few dollars for a hunting lease liability policy and sleep well at night.

Careers In Accounting

Dr.L.Lakshmi

INTRODUCTION

Accounting is the study of how businesses track their income and assets over time. Accountants engage in a wide variety of activities besides preparing financial statements and recording business transactions including computing costs and efficiency gains from new technologies, participating in strategies for mergers and acquisitions, quality management, developing and using information systems to track financial performance, tax strategy, and health care benefits management.

There's a lot to get out of a career in accounting. Perhaps most important: You will learn how business works. The field of accounting offers stimulating and challenging work that is constantly evolving. Because accountants spend a lot of time looking under the hoods of businesses they really learn how business works. It's no surprise that many successful players in business began their careers as accountants. It's also no surprise that most Chief Financial Officers of large corporations have a background in accounting. An accountant is perfectly positioned to become a CFO because he or she probably has the best understanding of what drives business and profits in a company.

Audit: Work in audit involves checking accounting ledgers and financial statements within corporations and government. This work is becoming increasingly computerized and can rely on sophisticated random sampling methods. Audit is the bread and butter work of accounting. This work can involve significant travel and allows you to really understand how money is being made in the company that you are analyzing. It's great background!

Budget Analysis: Budget analysts are responsible for developing and managing an organization’s financial plans. There are plentiful jobs in this area in government and private industry. Besides quantitative skills many budget analyst jobs require good people skills because of negotiations involved in the work

Financial:  Financial accountants prepare financial statements based on general ledgers and participate in important financial decisions involving mergers & acquisitions, benefits/ERISA planning and long-term financial projections. The work can be varied over time. One day you may be running spreadsheets. The next day you may be visiting a customer or supplier to set up a new account and discuss business. This work requires a good understanding of both accounting and finance.

Management Accounting: Management accountants work in companies and participate in decisions about capital budgeting and line of business analysis. Major functions include cost analysis, analysis of new contracts and participation in efforts to control expenses efficiently. This work often involves the analysis of the structure of organizations. Is responsibility to spend money in a company at the right level of our organization? Are goals and objectives to control costs being communicated effectively? Historically, many management accountants have been derided as "bean counters". This mentality has undergone major change as management accountants now often work side by side with marketing and finance to develop new business. Tax

Tax accountants prepare corporate and personal income tax statements and formulate tax strategies involving issues such as financial choice, how to best treat a merger or acquisition, deferral of taxes, when to expense items and the like. This work requires a thorough understanding of economics and the tax code. Increasingly, large corporations are looking for persons with both an accounting and a legal background in tax. A person, for example, with a JD and an CPA would be especially desirable to many firms.

PLACES WHERE ACCOUNTANTS WORK

Public Accounting Firms: Public Accountants work in partnerships which provide accounting services to individuals, businesses and governments. The largest, high-profile public accounting firms are known as the Bix Six and dominate the field of accounting. This field offers advancement potential to audit manager, tax manager or partner reached by only two to three percent of new hires.

Government: Government accountants may work at the local/state level or the federal level and administer and formulate budgets, track costs and analyze programs.

Solo: A time-honored form of employment is to become a CPA and hang out your own shingle. This form of work requires you to generate your own business, but has the benefits of offering close customer contact, a high degree of independence and, depending on how good you are, high financial rewards. This work can be risky but puts you in the midst of community affairs.
