rhonda — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 14:23:29 -0500

Learning to Learn, the very first training program aimed at teaching adults with little schooling in the methods necessary to learn, was jointly achieved by the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue and the Centre DÉBAT, a literacy group working in an impoverished district of Montreal. Created with the financial participation of the National Literacy Secretariat, the program was initially published in French in the autumn of 2000, then translated into English and launched in Montreal in April 2006.

CEARC Working Paper: Towards an international statement of recommended practice for co-operative accounting and reporting

rhonda — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 14:07:48 -0500

Co-operatives do not always fit well into accounting frameworks designed with others in mind. CEARC proposes to develop a draft iSORP on accounting and reporting by co-operatives, with a view to exploring its potential. This research project aims at both building a practical accounting tool for co-operatives, while also providing a means for researching, discussing and developing a co-operative accounting perspective.
