This means that the bank will simply advance the money that your account is short and allow the check to be cashed.... a fee is charged for this overdraft protection. Overdraft fees typically range between $20 and $35 per overdraft. In addition, interest may be charged on any outstanding balance(that is the money the bank had to advance) until those funds are repaid. Naturally, overdraft charges can be very expensive, particularly if you aren’t aware of your account balance at all times, or are careless with the checks you issue. 6, record 1, English, - overdraft%20protection%20fee

NSF fees are more old-fashioned : If the account doesn’t have enough money to cover a check, the bank rejects it and charges a fee usually between $25 and $35 per check. 8, record 12, English, - non%2Dsufficient%20funds%20fee

GSM is the acronym for ’Global System for Mobile Telecommunications’. Australia runs on GSM 900Mhz frequency, so be sure to check that your phone will also support a GSM 900Mhz frequency. GSM phones will have a place to insert a SIM [subscriber identity module] card behind or below the battery back. The SIM card holds all of your account information including your phone number and call credit and allows you to connect to the local networks as opposed to roaming back to your home country. By having a different SIM card for different countries, you save on international roaming costs. 5, record 14, English, - GSM%20phone

Accountability out is something different. It was defined in our Round Table as the sense of responsibility that one feels to the law, or to one's sense of personal or professional ethics. Accountability in this sense is a check on behaviour that is imposed either externally(i. e., through obligations flowing from laws or regulations) or internally(i. e, through a sense of personal obligation to abide by a self-imposed standard of conduct). This sense of accountability, if that is not stretching the term too far, is also familiar to anyone who works within an institutional framework and, indeed, is fundamental to any broader account of law and morality. 1, record 21, English, - accountability%20out

L'obligation de rendre compte vers l'extérieur est une notion différente : on l'a définie lors de la table ronde comme étant le sens de la responsabilité que l'on éprouve envers la loi, ou envers sa propre morale personnelle ou professionnelle. L'obligation de rendre compte, comprise dans ce sens, est un contrôle du comportement qui est imposé soit de l'extérieur (c.-à-d. par les obligations découlant des lois et des règlements), soit de l'intérieur (c.-à-d. par un sentiment d'obligation personnelle de se conformer à une norme de conduite que l'on s'impose à soi-même). Cette variante de la faculté d'être comptable est également familière à quiconque travaille dans un cadre institutionnel et elle est en fait essentielle à toute expression plus large de la loi et de la moralité. 1, record 21, French, - obligation%20de%20rendre%20compte%20vers%20l%27ext%C3%A9rieur
