How Arts Funding Is Done Elsewhere When Rick van der Ploege became Holland’s secretary of culture in 1998, he launched an arts-funding revolution that alarmed his quiet, multicultural country—but also became a potential model for smaller population countries such as Canada. Bursaries for about $100,000 a year were offered to foreign graduate students. Foreign filmmakers could also receive funding—as long as it met Dutch content requirements. More contentiously, artists would have to prove that there was a market for their creations if they wanted a subsidy. “My argument has always been to get the best people in the world. ... Whether they be Canadian, Japanese, and maybe the Dutch, bring them together, and the locals would then have to compete on a global scale.” Draw a graph to illustrate and explain how bursaries for foreign graduate students might improve efficiency.

Natural resources like land, water, air, energy, etc. are the main inputs of any business process. The rapid development in industries is causing more environmental issues like pollution, carbon emission, greenhouse effects, water and air contamination, land and soil contamination, loss of biodiversity etc. So, accountability towards the environment has become one of the most essential areas of social responsibility. Our traditional accounting system is limited to record and reporting financial information of the business process for internal and external stakeholders. This limitation can be removed by implementing Environmental Accounting and Reporting over the traditional accounting system but requires good knowledge, training and standard guideline. Based on the explanation above, please give your arguments supported by some theoretical framework related to EAR from different scholars/researchers. How it’s an implementation in Indonesia? Why?
