http://www.bp.com/extendedsectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=9044263&contentId=7077294 Immediately after the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico, BP asked its most senior safety professional, Mark Bly, to lead an investigation relating to the causes of the incident and make recommendations to help prevent such accidents from occurring. The investigation led to 26 recommendations for reducing risk in BP's drilling operations. Since the report's publication in 2010, BP has made a significant progress in implementing those 26 recommendations. BP Magazine finds out more In September 2010, four months after the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico, BP released its Deepwater Horizon Accident Investigation Report, known as the Bly Report, concluding that the accident resulted from a complex, interlinked series of failures involving multiple parties. The report was the work of an investigation team led by BP's head of safety and operations, Mark Bly, and consisted of more than 50 technical and other specialists, drawn not only from BP but also the wider energy industry. The team made 26 recommendations specific to drilling, aimed at further reducing risk. Accepting all of these recommendations, BP committed to their implementation across its worldwide drilling operations and the recommendations are now in the process of being implemented into the well designs by engineers and operations personnel. That implementation is overseen by the global wells organisation (GWO), established by BP in April 2011 to facilitate a stronger, centralised and standardised approach to all BP-operated wells activity. "Our mission is to deliver safe, compliant and reliable wells for BP," says Richard Lynch, head of GWO. "We have to be very clear about the work we are doing and the risks involved, and have plans in place to manage those risks. "Successfully delivering the report's recommendations will standardise the way we work, and give us the base

http://news.bpholdingsmngt.de/how-can-i-lower-my-taxes/ bp holdings, bally price holdings news Income from investments… The income you earn from investments is added to your income from all other sources. As a result, each additional dollar of investment income is taxed at the highest rate applicable to your total income. If for example you know that you make high income this year and your income is expected to drop next year, it very well makes sense to defer the sale of your investments to the year when your marginal tax rate will be lower. Pension plan and other payments… The same can be said about taking money out of your pension plan (401K, IRA, etc.). Taking a lump sum out of your pension plan can easily move you to higher tax bracket; therefore, if you have the option to take your lump sum later in a year when your total annual income is lower, it may impact your tax liability significantly and positively. Income from reinvestments… Another example is the taxation of income from reinvestments. If a couple (filing separately) has investments in the name of the higher-income-earning spouse, then the investment income is likely to be taxed at a higher rate than it really needs to be. So called Income on Income tax strategy can be used to reduce the tax rate which is used to tax income from reinvestments. If you earn income and transfer it to your spouse, you as the transferring spouse will have to tax it. If this income generates some income while it is in your spouse's hands, the attribution rules assign this income to the transferring spouse for taxation purposes. The transferring spouse has to pay taxes in this income. However, the good news is that this income becomes the capital of the spouse receiving it and can be reinvested in the receiving spouse's name. The income earned on this reinvested income (that is the Income on Income) is not attributed back to the transferring spouse. The spouse being in the lower tax bracket will tax this incom

Financial Crimes Overview and Priorities: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigates matters relating to fraud, theft, or embezzlement occurring within or against the national and international financial community. These crimes are characterized by deceit, concealment, or violation of trust and are not dependent upon the application or threat of physical force or violence. Such acts are committed by individuals and organizations to obtain personal or business advantage. The FBI focuses its financial crimes investigations on such criminal activities as corporate fraud, securities and commodities fraud, health care fraud, financial institution fraud, mortgage fraud, insurance fraud, mass marketing fraud, and money laundering. These are the identified priority crime problem areas of the Financial Crimes Section (FCS) of the FBI. Mission: The mission of the FCS is to oversee the investigation of financial fraud and to facilitate the forfeiture of assets from those engaging in federal crimes. In fiscal years (FY) 2010-2011, the FCS was comprised of the Asset Forfeiture/Money Laundering Unit (AF/MLU), the Economic Crimes Unit (ECU), the Health Care Fraud Unit (HCFU), the Forensic Accountant Unit (FAU), the Financial Institution Fraud Unit (FIFU), and the Financial Intelligence Center (FIC). The ECU is responsible for significant frauds targeted against individuals, businesses, and industries, to include corporate fraud, insurance fraud (non-health care-related), securities and commodities fraud (e.g., investment fraud schemes such as Ponzi, pyramid, and advanced fee schemes and securities market manipulation schemes), and mass marketing fraud. The HCFU oversees investigations targeting individuals and/or organizations who are defrauding public and private health care systems. Areas investigated under the HCFU include billing for services not rendered, billing for a higher reimbursable service than performed (upcoding), performing unnecessary service

Zitten in een donkere kamer is meer dan 30 verdiepingen boven de straten van het centrum van Houston, VS, een BP windenergie-exploitant kunnen bezoekers vertellen precies hoeveel macht wordt gegenereerd op een windmolenpark zo ver weg als Californië - en wat het weer als daar.Dit is de externe bewerkingen centrum (ROC), waar sommige 800 miljoen afzonderlijke gegevenspunten van BP's 13 windparken in zeven staten elke maand worden opgeslagen. De massa van informatie kan de externe bewerkingen ploeg nauwlettend in de gaten houden op kritieke en variabele factoren, zoals turbine beschikbaarheid, macht productiecapaciteit, markt prijzen en windsnelheid. Software verzamelt de gegevens bij elke individuele wind farm, evenals uit weerdiensten en nationale elektrische systeem operatoren als de elektrische betrouwbaarheid Raad van Texas (ERCOT), die vervolgens wordt verzonden naar Houston. Veel van de informatie wordt weergegeven in de vorm van cirkeldiagrammen of bar grafieken op het centrum vijf door 18 meter lange (1,5 x 5 meter lange) felgekleurde schermen - bekend als 'de muur'. Het trilt op een regelmatige basis, zoals getallen in real-time aanpassen. "De muur geeft ondernemers zichtbaarheid van wat bij elke wind farm gebeurt er," zegt David Grant, directeur van externe bewerkingen en SCADA (toezichthoudende controle- en data acquisitie) technologie voor BP windenergie. "We kunnen kijken naar de prestaties van een individuele turbine en vergelijk het met anderen van de zelfde fabrikant op een specifieke windpark of over de vloot; We kunnen herkennen als apparatuur begint te werken buiten een normale parameter en reageren." Dankzij een alarmsysteem geconfigureerd inhouse, exploitanten in het ROC bijna onmiddellijk weten van eventuele problemen op het gebied.

bp holdings Sweden The incidence of financial fraud in the United States is on the rise. Americans submitted more than 1.5 million complaints about financial and other fraud in 2011 - a 62 percent increase in just three years - according to the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) annual "Consumer Sentinel Network Data Book" the most comprehensive database of U.S. fraud trends (see Figure 1). Joe Borg, head of Alabama's securities commission and a leader among state securities regulators, agreed there is a proliferation of fraud, and he largely blames the Internet. His agency had an unprecedented 31-case backlog of criminal trials involving financial fraud in September 2011. "It's not unusual to have 20-25 convictions a year, but when we have 31 backed up - and we're trying them as fast as we can - the trend is up," he said. Borg ticks off the reasons: "Downturn in the economy. Fear among the public. The idea that the government can't protect them anymore. Medical costs are going through the roof. Those are fears. The Internet is the vehicle. The Internet's a big, big factor." Neil Power, supervisor of the FBI's Economic Crimes Squad in Boston, said the public is not fully aware of how pervasive fraud is, because only the most prominent cases, such as Bernard L. Madoff's $50 billion Ponzi scheme, are covered by the media. The vast majority of cases fly under the public's radar. "There is a substantial amount of fraud being addressed that's not being covered," he said. Many more scammers are never caught by a regulatory system rife with staff shortages and inadequate resources. For example, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) admitted in April 2010 that it has never examined some 3,000 registered U.S. investment advisers, Investment News reported. In Canada, only a small percentage of total fraud is reported to law enforcement: one in three Canadians has been targeted by a scammer, yet only 14 perc

http://www.newsmeback.com/story.php?title=-bp-spain-holdings-spanish-tax-facts Taxation in Spain occurs at a national level and at a regional ('Autonomous Community') or municipal level. The Spanish taxation system was subject to a significant review in 2007 that resulted in the introduction of a new Personal Income Tax Act. The tax regime in Spain is controlled by the Ministry of the Treasury. Tax Year 1st January to 31st December. Assessment Basis Spanish residents are taxed on their worldwide income (earned and unearned), capital gains from all sources and on their worldwide assets. Spain operates a self-assessment regime. For personal income tax purposes, married couples may choose to file tax returns jointly or separately. Income Tax Spanish residents are subject to Spanish Personal Income Tax ('IRPF'). Individuals and couples benefit from personal allowances which reduce their liability to tax and which increase in line with the number of dependent children. A new structure has been created for the taxation of income, which now falls into two categories: the general base and the savings base of income. The general base includes salary and other benefits from employment, income from economic activities, and property rental income (either actual or deemed). Such income is reduced by applicable deductions and allowances. It is subject to a progressive scale which is applied to successive portions of taxable income with rates ranging from 24% to 43%*. In the autumn of 2011 a new tax bracket was introduced for higher income earners as an austerity measure, with income over €175,000 now subject to a 45% rate. The savings base is subject to a 19% tax rate on savings income up to €6000 and to 21% on the excess and includes interest, dividends, and capital gains/losses paid to residents in Spain, together with life and disability insurance proceeds paid to Spanish residents by a Spanish entity (or an EU insurer operating on a Freedom of Services pa
