Accounting errors and fraud are common in most businesses, but there is a difference between fraud and misinterpretation of communication or accounting regulations. The role of management in preventing fraud becomes important in the last decades and the importance of auditing in curbing corruption is increasingly revealed. There is a strong connection between fraud and corruption, accelerated by electronic systems and modern platforms.The most recent developments tend to confirm that external auditing is curbing corruption, due to international accounting and auditing standards at national and regional levels. Thus, a better implementation of accounting standards and high quality of external control could prevent errors and fraud in accounting, and reduce corruption, as well.The aim of this paper is to present some particular aspects of errors and fraud in accounting, and how external audit could ensure accuracy and accountability in financial reporting.

This article presents the history and structure of the school of clinical trials monitors in Russia, the reasons for its opening in 2011, as well as the results of a survey of graduates. The authors discuss in detail what tasks they faced in creating a high-quality, modern, interactive educational program that is sustainable in the long term. Shows the important role of collaboration between academic institutions and business companies directly involved in clinical research on a daily basis. The structure of the course is presented, as well as teaching materials and electronic systems and technologies are used. Separately, the experience of operating a school during the COVID-19 pandemic is given, an analysis of the course functioning in fully online format, the positive and negative aspects of this approach. The second part of the article presents the results of a survey of graduates of the course for 9 years: from their satisfaction with training, to their further professional career (a total of 8 questions). In conclusion, the authors present their personal attitude to this educational project.

Ecosystem Diversity

The discipline of ecology can be subdivided into several subdisciplines, including community, ecosystem, and landscape ecology. While all the subdisciplines are important to the study of biodiversity, there is great variation in the extent to which their contributions have been analyzed. For example, the role of community ecology in biodiversity studies is well established. In community ecology, the entities of study are species that differ in their properties and generate a web of interactions that, in turn, organize the species into a community. Similar to community ecology, the contribution of landscape ecology to biodiversity is apparent. The entities of study, definable “patches,” are tangible. They differ in their properties and generate a web of interactions that organize the patches into a landscape mosaic. In contrast to community and landscape ecology, the role of ecosystem ecology in biodiversity is less apparent. In ecosystem ecology, it often is not clear what the entities are, and how they are organized. To the extent that ecosystem ecology focuses on energy flow and nutrient cycling, we can define fundamental entities as compartments and vectors in models that depict the flows of water, energy, and nutrients through communities. If we apply diversity criteria to these entities, we can use the term ecosystem diversity to refer to the number of compartments and vectors, the differences among them in type and size, and their organization in promoting energy flow or nutrient cycling. To our knowledge, ecosystem scientists have not yet developed criteria for ecosystem diversity similar to those used for species and landscape diversity. There has been some use of the term “ecosystem diversity” to refer to a diversity of ecosystems, implying a variety of habitats, landscapes, or biomes. As discussed above, we suggest that to define the role of ecosystem ecology in biodiversity studies, the approach should be to study the relationships among species, landscape, and ecosystem diversities (chapters 1 and 13). However, since the concept of ecosystem diversity awaits further development, we adopt a different approach for understanding the role of ecosystem science in biodiversity studies. In this chapter, we examine relationships among ecosystem processes, species diversity, and landscape diversity.

Dependence of charge transmission through several conventional and extended DNA duplexes on the explicit presence of their water–counterion surrounding has been theoretically studied. We show here that: (a) the latter does not form specific charge transmission channels in addition to those available in DNA duplexes themselves; (b) chemically modifying DNA bases to extend their π-electronic systems does not significantly alter time-averaged charge transmission probability through DNA duplexes.
