Modern Day Policing Introduction Policing is one of the main sectors that help in maintaining law and order in any geographical area. It is the very reason that people in society can interact with the rest members of the community with peace and a lot of respect.

An Ageing population is an experience that is not only being felt in Japan but in most countries globally. The difference is the rate of population growth, with statistics showing that developed countries have a higher number of the aging population compared to the developing countries (Higo & Khan, 2015).

Fundamentally, studies reveal that the larger the population of the elderly, the higher the fiscal burden as well as the transfer of income between generations. Drawn from readings, my opinion concurs with researchers…

FASB created ASC 606 also known as the new revenue recognition standard that virtually affects all businesses that enter in contracts with customers that involve the transfer of goods or services.

In other words, revenue can only be recorded when the goods are received, and the services are performed not necessarily when cash is received. Also, the inflow of a future economic benefit needs to probable and the amount coming in needs to be able to be measured reliably. However, within the revenue recognition principle, there are many gray areas involving…
