CONT

Skid control is all about learning how to control and correct the car in the event of a skid, i. e when your tyres lose traction for whatever reason. It could be oil on the road, black ice, snow or standing water that makes you skid. When it happens, the front or rear end of you car moves out and you slide. Skid control will teach you how to recognise what type of skid you’re in(front/understeer or rear/oversteer) and how to get out of it safely.... Skid control schools offer a mix of one to one and small group lessons, so check with each individual supplier.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metering Instruments
  • Measuring Instruments
CONT

Some properties have just one water meter to service multiple residences. This [setup] is common in older blocks of units or apartments. For this type of property, the usage charges for all residences are split evenly among occupants (regardless of individual usage) because [a utility service provider doesn’t] know how much water each residence is using. A check meter is an additional meter [that a utility service provider] can install so that [a property owner will] have visibility of [their] property’s [utility] usage, and [they will] only pay for what [they] use.

OBS

check metre : The use of the term "metre" in this designation is incorrect, as "metre" designates either a unit of measurement or a metrical group. The term "meter" refers to a measuring instrument.

Record 9 2006-06-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Accounting
  • Auditing (Accounting)
  • Statistics
DEF

The propensity, often unconscious, to search for, assemble, present, or use evidence in such a manner as to point to a preselected endproduct or conclusion. Bias does not of necessity lead to error, since it may be anticipated and allowed for by employing adjusting or weighting devices, or ostensibly inaccurate results may be interpreted or cross-checked in a variety of ways.

OBS

It is possible to extract evidence and synthesize an objective and valid picture even when employing biased or potentially biased sources of information. A principal objective in the process of auditing is the search for and correction of biases. An auditor determines the presence or lack of bias in a group of accounts receivable by circularizing persons against whom claims are held. Offsetting biases are regularly taken advantage of in the construction of "internal controls". By the operation of a normally patterned system of "internal check", valid results are deemed to follow by placing individuals with independent, opposing interests in opposition to each other and making them participants in the recording of the same transaction. The assumption underlying any such device is that the offsetting biases are of the same relative order of magnitude.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Comptabilité
  • Vérification (Comptabilité)
  • Statistique
DEF

Altération, intentionnelle ou non, des conditions d'une expérience, de la présentation d'une information, d'une estimation comptable ou d'un sondage, qui a pour effet de modifier les résultats ou l'information comptable dans un sens déterminé.

OBS

Dans le cas d'informations comptables, la mesure d'éléments à comptabiliser est partiale lorsqu'elle a tendance à aboutir systématiquement à une sous-évaluation ou à une surévaluation de ces éléments. Le choix des méthodes comptables peut être partial lorsqu'il est fait avec l'idée de favoriser les intérêts d'utilisateurs particuliers ou la réalisation d'objectifs économiques ou politiques précis. L'auditeur doit tenir compte de la possibilité d'un parti pris général dans les estimations comptables, et aussi de la possibilité que l'orientation du parti pris change de manière importante d'un exercice à l'autre, situations qui sont susceptibles de produire des résultats inexacts.
