BUSINESS HITS THE ‘ROK’ BOTTOM

Leading building firm Rok seems to have hit rock bottom what with a string of unbearable business losses. But then the heads of the firm aren’t the only ones worried. A strong 3,800 jobs may also be lost with the series of loses as has been borne by the company now. Trading in poorly at 18.5p, the firm’s shares were simply suspended.

They have fallen down drastically by about ninety percent which is nothing short of shocking for Rok. Not four months ago Rok revealed that it had incurred drastic half yearly losses worth £3.8 million. The firm has thus got into administration. Just like with leading competitor housing firm Connaught which too entered administration after facing similar poor losses. PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) people Rob Hunt, Mike Jervis and Jeremy Webb, were all appointed as joint administrators at Rok.

Earlier Rok had also dealt with a severe blow when its plumbing, heating and electrical business was down and out big time as reported by an independent review done by the auditing firm BDO. The firm is known to provide with repairs and maintenance services to housing societies, schools, councils among others. The loosing of a string of its public as well as private sector clients even prompted them to cut about 750 jobs then.

The company now slowly but surely seems to be on the recovering track with its order book currently reading an impressive £435 million. The Scottish Government's economic and community development agency has also got into a £32 million deal with Rok which should see bright and pleasant sun rays hitting the firm’s management and employees. They are also winning some other healthy contracts.

SURVEY BY KPMG SAYS MANUFACTURERS AND SUPPLIERS ARE BETTER COOPERATING WITH EACH OTHER

KPMG is a global firm that provides tax, audit and advisory services. In one of its surveys, namely the “Global Manufacturing Outlook” survey, the firm analyzed about 196 manufacturing executives globally. These were in aerospace, metals, engineering and related industries.

The topic of discussion centered on the supply chain management. The recession hit one and all very badly. Most of the companies simply steered clear of any risks and investment which were relatively unsafe. In simple words, no taking of chances were the approach they followed.

Most of these companies are looking at working on a more intimate level with their suppliers. This is in terms the role they play in the manufacturing cycle namely product innovation and supply chain agility. One may simply look at China and India as two major countries which saw a lot of low cost manufacturing products before. These two markets have now become much bigger and deeper then that.

Today a number of world giants are willing to source research and development as well as manufacturing of sophisticated products in these countries. The rate of such activity has increased by about thirty percent which was a flat zero not three years ago. Jeff Dobbs, global and U.S. head of diversified industrials with KPMG, however states there are limits to this still. It would not be any time in the near future that you will have cars manufactured in China and exported to the United States.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN EMPLOYEE AND A PARTNER

Accountancy firms today work like giant corporations. They may as well have an LLP (limited liability partnership) member who is yet a mere employee in the organization. Thus a firm would do well to separate a genuine partner from an employee.

There are a number of reasons to be considered behind this, as far as the difference between an employee and a genuine partner is concerned. This includes the fact that a partner can dissolve a partnership while an employee is very much bound by it and cannot do anything.

An employee gets a fixed monthly income irrespective of the company’s profitability. Employees on one hand are entitled to a 52 weeks maternity leave while partners are only entitled of such a leave if the firm agrees with them. But then again when it comes to the right to pay, it is up to the firm to decide whether or not to give the employee or for that matter the partner on leave his pay.
A company better be sure of its every member’s status.

If it is not clarified as to if the member is a mere employee or for that matter a true partner then this could lead to some issues. This is truer in case of a rise of conflict between the company and the member. One of the more severe consequences as faced by a firm in case of a conflict of interests with a member is that person may ask for employment claims against the firm citing unfair dismissal a reason among others. This is if the company isn’t sure of the member’s status in the firm.

The investigation taking place would again be in connection with improper activities committed by a number of offshore companies. Many of these companies could be influenced into getting an arms contract in BAE’s favor. Leading British defense, security and aerospace company BAE Systems plc were advised by KPMG into using these companies by paying them commissions.

Businessman Fana Hlongwane, a former advisor to then-defense minister of South Africa, Joe Modise is also a key to the outcome of this investigation as even he finds himself in the probe which is getting uglier by the day.

A hefty sum of R200-million was allegedly paid to him by BAE. A lot seems to be going wrong in the scheme of things here. Previously, a string of corruption cases in terms arms deal investigated by South Africa’s Hawks unit were all of a sudden dropped. The Hawks on their part before shutting the case claimed for doing so due to a lack of “Manpower”.

The multibillion dollar deal of supplying aircrafts to South Africa by BAE was definitely not done without some help on part of quite a few influencing people. This latest probe and examination of KPMG is bound to reveal many of these influencers and thus bring them to the court of law. For once, a can full of worms seem to be all ready to open up.
