AUDIT AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE PRIVATISATION PROCESS: THE ROLE OF THE NATIONAL AUDIT OFFICE

In this paper we analyse the evolution of the Italian telecommunications market since the beginning of the liberalisation and privatisation process in Italy started in the mid-nineties. The role of competition and regulatory authorities is also considered. We present a survey of the main regulatory interventions in the industry as well as the market structure and its dynamics in the period 2000-2015. We also provide some insights on the current state of the ultra-fast broadband access and the evolution of the so called “next generation networks”. In this regard, the recent Italian government’s plan regarding the deployment of the broadband services is also discussed. Our research can provide helpful information on telecommunications trends in Italy and would help to assess past as well as ongoing policies.

Use Of Social Media

The public narrative of the role of the school nurse is about Band-Aids and management of acute illness and injury. The public does not understand that school nurses are responsible for so much more. Literature recommends that school nurses change the narrative of school nursing by the use of social media and websites, but school nurses are not using websites as evidenced by a national audit of websites and survey of school nurses. The school nurse website toolkit was developed to assist nurses in the development of their own professional practice websites, thereby enhancing their image to stakeholders and changing the public narrative of school nursing.

Combat Money Laundering

Using the documentary research methodology, the aim of the article was to study Iran's criminal policy towards money laundering in its banking system. A number of measures have been taken in the Iranian legal system to combat money-laundering, the most important of which is the adoption of the anti-money-laundering law in 2007 and its executive regulations in 2009. With the enactment of this law, the crime of money laundering officially entered the Iranian legal system with its own special and independent title. By way of conclusion, it is evident that various governmental and judicial institutions have made the fight against money-laundering one of their main objectives and tasks. Meanwhile, the role of the National Audit Office has also been prominent, and it has made numerous efforts, both nationally and internationally, to identify cases of money laundering, eliminate money laundering and ultimately combat it effectively and efficiently.
