... Google, full disclosure y protección de la intimidad Una lectora del bloc me remitió amablemente esta interesantísima noticia que publicaba ayer El País antes incluso de que yo pudiera hacerme con el periódico (¡gracias!).

... The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) requires that franchisors provide full and complete disclosure to a prospective franchisee through a written disclosure document. All franchisors offering and selling franchises in the U.S. had to convert their old disclosure documents to the new franchise disclosure document or FDD format required under the Amended Rule by July 1, 2008.

... Those concerned about more disclosure have said, “It’s called private equity for a reason.” Yet the growth in the size and influence on the corporate sector raises a key question: How much does the public have a right to know? Not surprisingly, general partners were most opposed to more disclosure. Limited partners were more open to greater disclosure and in fact desired greater accountability from general partners, but they, too, feared that the public would misinterpret the returns. But let’s consider what disclosure means in the context of investment returns. ...
... Hace poco paseándome por la pagina web de la Hacienda Britanica -HM Revenue & Customs- encontré una noticia curiosa : la existencia de una offshore Disclosure en la Ley de presupuesto británica para el 2.009, que si no entendía mal era como una amnistía fiscal para quienes tengan cuentas offshore, es decir no declaradas. Investigando encontré la siguiente información (en tax analyst ) que una vez traducida por Google y remozada por mi dice: El New Disclosure Opportunity (NDO) será la segunda amnistía fiscal desarrollada por el HMRC. La primera, conocida como Offshore Disclosure Scheme (ODF), comenzó en abril de 2007 y supuso alrededor de 400 millones de libras en impuestos impagados, intereses y sanciones. ...
