E-Bilanz ab 2011 Pflicht

Für alle Fiskaljahre, die im Laufe des Jahres 2011 starten, müssen Unternehmen ihre Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung künftig elektronisch an die Steuerbehörden senden.

Für Wirtschaftsjahre, die nach dem 31. Dezember 2010 beginnen, müssen alle bilanzierenden Unternehmen in Deutschland gemäß Paragraph 5b des Einkommensteuergesetzes (EStG) ihre Bilanz, ihre Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung und gegebenenfalls eine Überleitungsrechnung standardisiert elektronisch übermitteln. Zusammenfassend wird von der sogenannten E-Bilanz gesprochen. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein zentrales Vorhaben der Bundesregierung nach dem Motto "Elektronik statt Papier". Es geht darum, unnötige Bürokratie abzubauen. Dieses Ziel war im Dezember 2008 im Deutschen Bundestag mit dem Steuerbürokratieabbaugesetz vom Gesetzgeber festgeschrieben worden.

Bei der IQPC Konferenz E-Bilanz & Taxonomie am 16.-18. Mai 2011 in Frankfurt wird es zu diesen Thema einen aktiven Austausch zu Pilot-Projekten, Vorreiter-Unternehmen und Finanzverwaltungen geben.


So sprechen unter anderen:

Dr. iur. Swen Oliver Bäuml: Wirtschaftsjurist/Steuerberater, Family Office des Pharmaunternehmens Boehringer Ingelheim:. Fachliche Schwerpunkte sind die rechtliche und steuerliche Gestaltungsberatung bei Personen- und Kapitalgesellschaften, die Analyse von Steuerreformvorhaben und die steuerrechtliche Begleitung von Investmentanlagen. Er ist u. a. Mitglied des Unterausschusses ‚Unternehmensteuerreform’ beim Bund der Deutschen Industrie (BDI).

Christa Aumer, Referatsleiterin Group Taxation, Allianz SE: Seit September 2002 als Referatsleiterin im Bereich Group Taxation/Corporate Taxation bei der Allianz SE in München tätig. Dort obliegt  Frau Aumer  insbesondere die steuerliche Betreuung/Beratung der inländischen Konzerngesellschaften.

Straße reinigt Luft

Im neuen Siemens Kundenmagazin wagt das Unternehmen einen Blick in die Zukunft und gibt einen Ausblick über die Innovationen der nächsten 10 Jahre:

Straße reinigt Luft

Straßenbeläge können Schadstoffe aus der Luft binden und den Anteil von Stickoxiden um bis zu 45 Prozent verringern. Das haben Wissenschaftler der niederländischen Universität Eindhoven herausgefunden. Durch den Einsatz von Nanotechnologie konnten sie herkömmlichen Beton mit Titandioxid versetzen. Titandioxid sorgt wie ein Katalysator für eine selbstreinigende Wirkung des Straßenbelags. Es nimmt das ultraviolette Sonnenlicht auf und bewirkt, dass sich der Sauerstoff mit einem Teil der umweltschädlichen Stickoxide verbindet, die ansonsten zum Anstieg des bodennahen Ozons beitragen. Auf diese Weise entstehen nur harmlose Nitrate und Salpetersäure, die bei Regen abgewaschen werden. Nanomaterialien gehören zu den Schlüsseltechnologien des 21. Jahrhunderts: Durch ihren Einsatz lassen sich Ressourcen effektiv schonen und Energieeinsparungen realisieren. Sie werden bereits in vielen Konsumprodukten verwendet – zum Beispiel als UV-Filter in Sonnencremes, als Korrisionsschutz oder bei kratzfesten und schmutzabweisenden Lacke.

Guideline on the Investigation of Drug Interactions

The EMEA Guideline on Investigation of Drug Interactions from April 2010

The potential for interactions between new medicinal products and already marketed drugs should be evaluated. This applies both to effects of the medicinal product on other drugs as well as the effect of other drugs on the medicinal product. Furthermore the effect of concomitant food intake needs to be investigated. The interaction potential is usually investigated through in vitro studies followed by in vivo studies. In addition, studies in other species may be relevant for studies of pharmacodynamic drug-drug interactions. The results of interaction studies are used to predict a number of other interactions based on the mechanism involved. Treatment recommendations are developed based on the clinical relevance of the interactions and the possibility to make dose adjustments or treatment monitoring. This document aims as providing recommendations on all these issues. General recommendations are also provided for herbal medicinal products.

Monika Lessl from Bayer Schering Pharma AG on Open Innovation

An Interview with  Monika Lessl von Bayer Schering Pharma AG, Alliance Management Global Drug Discovery. Mrs Lessl is one of the many knowledgable speakers at the annual Congress Discovery Partnerships happening Tuesday and Wednesday this week (25-26 Jan 2011). More details on the event can be accessed here: www.discovery-partnerships.com

IQPC: Which advantages does the approach of open innovation have for pharma companies such as Bayer Healthcare?

Lessl: Open innovation is defined as the use of internal and external ideas and paths to create value, which in our case means the development of novel drugs with high medical need. The questions to be addressed in drug discovery are challenging and cannot be solved by industry alone. Joining forces with partners with complementary expertise and skills is a key prerequisite for future success.

IQPC: What kind of risks do you see?

Lessl: Selection of matching partners is an important aspect. Only if a strategic fit is given and the goals of
partners are matching a partnership will be successful and create value in the long run.

IQPC: How difficult is it to define the pre-competitive boundary?

Lessl: Open innovation comprises a number of different models about how to collaborate and to use external ideas and resources. Depending on the question to be solved, the adequate model of partnership has to be chosen. If the main goal of the partnership is the development of tools and standards relevant for the entire industry a precompetitive approach, such as the IMI consortium, is the agent of choice.

Securing the Smart Grid - a book review

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday January 05, @02:50PM
from the protect-ya-neck dept.

brothke writes "Securing the Smart Grid: Next Generation Power Grid Security, authors Tony Flick and Justin Morehouse provide a comprehensive and first-rate overview of smart grid technology and what is needed to ensure that it is developed and deployed in a secure and safe manner. An issue is that smart grid has significant amount of hype around it, including the promise that it will make energy more affordable, effective and green. With that, promises around security and privacy are often hard to obtain."

Securing the Smart Grid: Next Generation Power Grid Security
author	Tony Flick and Justin Morehouse
pages	320
publisher	Syngress
rating	9/10
reviewer	Ben Rothke
ISBN	1597495700
summary	Excellent overview on smart grid technology and its related security, privacy and regulatory issues

While the books notes early on that there is no singular definition of what defines smart grid, a generally accepted definition is that it is a "network of technologies providing real-time two-way communication that delivering electricity from utilities to consumers".

Most importantly, it is crucial to understand that the smart grid is an evolving environment, not a single entity or technology.

As important as the smart grid and security is, roughly 80% of Americans claim to know little or nothing about the smart grid, while 76% lack knowledge or understanding of smart meters, according to results of the latest Market Strategies International E2 Study.

From a security perspective, securing the smart grid is a complex endeavor. When you combined this with a public that is oblivious to the security and privacy issues, it gets worrisome quite fast.

The books 14 chapters provide a good overview of the various aspects of smart grid, energy and utility transmission, security, privacy attack vectors and more. The book offers a good balance of the topics, in a very readable format.

In chapter 1, the authors note that a smart grid is not a single device, application, system network, or even idea. And that there is no single authoritative definition for what a smart grid is. With that, the initial chapter sets and defines the various aspects to smart grid.

Chapter 2 provides an overview of the threats and impacts of smart metering at the consumer level. A large part of smart grid technologies is advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), which is a set of systems that measure, collect and analyze energy usage, and interact with advanced devices such as electricity meters, gas meters, heat meters, and water meters, through various communication media. Once smart grid is ubiquitous, AMI will be a hacker's platform of choice.

With all those benefits of AMI come security and privacy issues, and those open the metering infrastructure to smart thieves, stalkers, and a broad range of other threats and attacks. AMI also opens up a new set of privacy issues in that the AMI devices will be collecting significant amounts of personal energy data, which may or may not be transmitted over a secure channel.

Unfortunately, leaving security to vendors of home-based products has traditionally not been met with much success. Let's hope the smart grid vendors learn from the security debacles of the past and build effective and strong security into their products.

Chapter 4 notes that smart grid security is a matter of national security and that the US government is playing a large role in directing the effort. Numerous groups have efforts in place to secure smart grids, including DOE, FERC, DoC, DHS and more.

An important group working on this is the NIST Cyber Security Working Group (CSWG). The primary goal of the CSWG is to develop an overall cyber security strategy for the smart grid that includes a risk mitigation strategy to ensure interoperability of solutions across different domains/components of the infrastructure. This strategy addresses prevention, detection, response, and recovery.

The CSWG recently created NISTIR 7628 — Guidelines for Smart Grid Cyber Security, which complement everything detailed in this book. It also has the added benefit of being free. At 577 pages, it is also much more comprehensive.

Chapter 11 is especially fascinating, which deals with the topic of social networks and smart grid. While smart grid can leverage the power of social networking, it is inevitable that people will start tweeting about their energy usage. While that energy data may seem like an innocuous tweet, that information can be used to determine if the people are at home, on vacation, using specific appliances, etc.

For example, the Lyceum is the oldest building on the University of Mississippi campus. The Lyceum also has a twitter feed about its energy usage. While this is more informational, when individuals start sharing their energy usage, without effective social media controls, the security outcome is quite predictable. With that level of information disclosure, it is quite easy to determine if a family is home, not home, sleeping, entertaining guests, etc.

As to users who in the future will integrate tweets and other energy data into their social networking, the chapter illustrates how much of a security risk this can pose by detailing vampire energy cost estimates for over 75 different types of electronic products. Attackers can use the energy data and extrapolate what products are in use, when, and more.

The chapter concludes with a smart grid social networking security checklist. The smart grid social networking security checklist contains five categories for implementing basic security controls, name around: identity, authentication, information sharing, networking and usage.

The book also includes a number of sidebar Epic Fail stories, which detail major failures and catastrophes in various energy topics.

Overall, Securing the Smart Grid: Next Generation Power Grid Security provides an excellent overview on the state of smart grid technology and its related security, privacy and regulatory issues. The book provides an excellent introduction for anyone looking to understand what smart grid is all about, and its security and privacy issues.

You can purchase Securing the Smart Grid: Next Generation Power Grid Security from amazon.de.
