ir complex ecology, naming, classification, and mapping have also become more particular, stressing what was actually present rather than postulating about climatic potential.
[B] In regions of higher rainfall, such as eastern Africa, savanna vegetation is maintained by periodic fires. Consuming dry grass at the end of the rainy season, the fires burn back the forest vegetation, check the invasion of trees and shrubs, and stimulate new grass growth.
[C] Once, as with the scientific treatment of African soils, a much greater uniformity was attributed to the vegetation than would have been generally accepted in the same period for treatments of the lands of western Europe or the United States.
[D] The vegetational map of Africa and general vegetation groupings used here follow the White map and its extensive annotations.
[E] African vegetation zones are closely linked to climatic zones, with the same zones occurring both north and south of the equator in broadly similar patterns. As with climatic zones, differences in the amount and seasonal distribution of precipitation constitute the most important influence on the development of vegetation.
[F] Nevertheless, in broad terms, climate remains the dominant control over vegetation. Zonal belts of precipitation, reflection latitude and contrasting exposure to the Atlantic and Indian oceans and their currents, give some reality to related belts of vegetation.
[G] The span of human occupation in Africa is believed to exceed that of any other continent. All the resultant activities have tended, on balance, to reduce tree cover and increase grassland; but there has been considerable dispute among scholars concerning the natural versus human-caused development of most African grasslands at the regional level.

However, in spite of buoyant stock markets over the last couple of years, Mezza Co’s share price has remained static. It is thought that this is because there is little scope for future growth in its products. As a result the company’s directors are considering diversifying into new areas. One possibility is to commercialise a product developed by a recently acquired subsidiary company. The subsidiary company is engaged in researching solutions to carbon emissions and global warming, and has developed a high carbon absorbing variety of plant that can be grown in warm, shallow sea water. The plant would then be harvested into carbon-neutral bio-fuel. This fuel, if widely used, is expected to lower carbon production levels.
Currently there is a lot of interest among the world’s governments in finding solutions to climate change. Mezza Co’s directors feel that this venture could enhance its reputation and result in a rise in its share price. They believe that the company’s expertise would be ideally suited to commercialising the product. On a personal level, they feel that the venture’s success would enhance their generous remuneration package which includes share options. It is hoped that the resulting increase in the share price would enable the options to be exercised in the future.
Mezza Co has identified the coast of Maienar, a small country in Asia, as an ideal location, as it has a large area of warm, shallow waters. Mezza Co has been operating in Maienar for many years and as a result, has a well developed infrastructure to enable it to plant, monitor and harvest the crop. Mezza Co’s directors have strong ties with senior government officials in Maienar and the country’s politicians are keen to develop new industries, especially ones with a long-term future.
The area identified by Mezza Co is a rich fishing ground for local fishermen, who have been fishing there for many generations. However, the fishermen are poor and have little political influence. The general perception is that the fishermen contribute little to Maienar’s economic development. The coastal area, although naturally beautiful, has not been well developed for tourism. It is thought that the high carbon absorbing plant, if grown on a commercial scale, may have a negative impact on fish stocks and other wildlife in the area. The resulting decline in fish stocks may make it impossible for the fishermen to continue with their traditional way of life.
Required:
Discuss the key issues that the directors of Mezza Co should consider when making the decision about whether or not to commercialise the new product, and suggest how these issues may be mitigated or resolved.

The tomato is originally an American plant. It was found in South America by early Spanish explorers. The word tomato comes from the native Nahuatl word tomatl. But when it moved north, the plant earned a different name. Remarkably, the settlers in North America thought it was poisonous. They believed that to eat it was surely to die. It was said that deserted suitors would threaten to eat a tomato to cause their coldhearted lovers-regret. Because of this legend, the settlers called the tomato a "love apple." While people enjoyed other native plants such as corn and sweet potatoes, everyone avoided the tomato.
No one knows who first dared to eat a tomato. Perhaps someone was brave enough, or lovesick enough, to try out the truth of the rumors. Of course, whoever ate this fruit was perfectly safe. No one died from eating a love apple. Still, it was many years before the people fully believed that the tomato was a safe, and even good food. But its use did become common, and the plant was sent across the ocean to become part of many traditional European dishes.
The language from which we derived the word tomato is______.
A.Portuguese
B.Spanish
C.Nahuati
D.European

(i) Following an investigation you discover that commissions were paid to a senior official in one country to ensure that the local drug licensing agency concerned facilitated the acceptance of one of your principal revenue earning drugs for use within its national health service.
(ii) You have discovered that an agent of your firm, aware that the licensing agreement might be forthcoming,
purchased several call option contracts on your company’s equity.
(iii) A senior member of the firm’s treasury team has been taking substantial positions in currency futures in order to protect the risk of loss on the translation of dollar assets into the domestic currency. Over the last 12 months significant profits have been made but the trades do not appear to have been properly authorised. You discover that a long position in 50, $250,000 contracts is currently held but over the last four weeks the dollar has depreciated by 10% and all the signs are that it will depreciate considerably more over the next two months.
(iv) One drug company has managed to copy a novel drug that you have just released for the treatment of various forms of skin cancer. You have patent protection in the country concerned but your company has not been able to initiate proceedings through the local courts. Contacts with the trade officials at your embassy in the country concerned suggest that the government has made sure that the proceedings have not been allowed to proceed.
The company’s chief financial officer has asked you to look into these issues and, with respect to (iv), any World Trade
Organisation (WTO) agreements that might be relevant, and to advise her on how the company should proceed in each case.
Required:
Prepare a memorandum advising the Chief Financial Officer on the issues involved and recommending how she should, in each case and in the circumstances, proceed.

1 Geno Vesa Farm (GVF), a limited liability company, is a cheese manufacturer. Its principal activity is the production
of a traditional ‘Farmhouse’ cheese that is retailed around the world to exclusive shops, through mail order and web
sales. Other activities include the sale of locally produced foods through a farm shop and cheese-making
demonstrations and tours.
The farm’s herd of 700 goats is used primarily for the production of milk. Kids (i.e. goat offspring), which are a
secondary product, are selected for herd replacement or otherwise sold. Animals held for sale are not usually retained
beyond the time they reach optimal size or weight because their value usually does not increase thereafter.
There are two main variations of the traditional farmhouse cheese; ‘Rabida Red’ and ‘Bachas Blue’. The red cheese
is coloured using Innittu, which is extracted from berries found only in South American rain forests. The cost of Innittu
has risen sharply over the last year as the collection of berries by local village workers has come under the scrutiny
of an international action group. The group is lobbying the South American government to ban the export of Innittu,
claiming that the workers are being exploited and that sustaining the forest is seriously under threat.
Demand for Bachas Blue, which is made from unpasteurised milk, fell considerably in 2003 following the publication
of a research report that suggested a link between unpasteurised milk products and a skin disorder. The financial
statements for the year ended 30 September 2004 recognised a material impairment loss attributable to the
equipment used exclusively for the manufacture of Bachas Blue. However, as the adverse publicity is gradually being
forgotten, sales of Bachas Blue are now showing a steady increase and are currently expected to return to their former
level by the end of September 2005.
Cheese is matured to three strengths – mild, medium and strong – depending on the period of time it is left to ripen,
which is six, 12 and 18 months respectively. When produced, the cheese is sold to a financial institution, Abingdon
Bank, at cost. Under the terms of sale, GVF has the option to buy the cheese on its maturity at cost plus 7% for
every six months which has elapsed.
All cheese is stored to maturity on wooden boards in GVF’s cool and airy sheds. However, recently enacted health
and safety legislation requires that the wooden boards be replaced with stainless steel shelves with effect from 1 July
2005. The management of GVF has petitioned the government health department that to comply with the legislation
would interfere with the maturing process and the production of medium and strong cheeses would have to cease.
In 2003, GVF applied for and received a substantial regional development grant for the promotion of tourism in the
area. GVF’s management has deferred its plan to convert a disused barn into holiday accommodation from 2004
until at least 2006.
Required:
(a) Identify and explain the principal audit risks to be considered when planning the final audit of GVF for the
year ending 30 September 2005. (14 marks)
