Converting Corporate Bank Statements to Financial Statements: A last-resort, spreadsheet-based method
The purpose of this document is to illustrate a spreadsheet-based method to assist in compiling financial statements from corporate bank account data. Use of this method may be appropriate in cases where a corporation has fallen behind on its accounting responsibilities; is undergoing a corporate tax or trust exam audit with lost, incomplete or erroneous records; or when an inactive corporation has few transactions in a reporting period and requires financial statements in short order.
Hardening the Xen Hypervisor Debian 9 DomU: A review of default packages and libraries
The threat of running unnecessary services on a system bloated with extra software is a less commonly discussed security concern. Yet enabled and listening services weaken the server’s defences by creating potential entry points for the attacker, as well as by providing resources for the attacker to use against other machines. The server hardening maxim we’re interested in today goes as follows: “Install only necessary software; delete or disable everything else.” With this topic in mind, our task is to examine how this technique applies to a Xen Project hypervisor DomU virtual machine running a paravirtualized Debian 9 operating system.

A government experiment in intervention: Views of the current real estate market
The Bank of Canada‘s January 2018 Monetary Policy Report and November 2017 Financial System Review both highlight the impact of recent government interventions on the country’s hottest housing markets – those of greater Vancouver and Toronto.

The economy in general: A Bank of Canada perspective
The January 2018 Bank of Canada (“BOC”) Monetary Policy Report announced strong growth in the Canadian economy during 2017, including near-capacity levels of economic activity.[1] By their estimates, GDP growth came in at around 3% for 2017 with approximately 70% of that growth derived from domestic consumption – a historically normal level of household consumption […]
The effects of environmental variables on asset valuations: An introduction
Just like the measured weight of an object differs in water versus on land, asset valuations, or measurements, are too affected by their own environmental variables.
