NOT CONTENT with having one of the most environmentally friendly buildings in the country PwC also wants its offices to be the cleanest.
The Big Four firm is payrolling a man with a large bird (pictured) to ward off the local pigeon population dirtying up the rooftop terrace.
Interestingly he's not a bird handler but a kite flyer!
PwC has recruited the kite flying skills of a local, to whizz a fake bird the size of a small child across its Embankment office in the hope it will scare off other birds.
Unfortunately the kite looks like a cross between a hawk and a crow and is scaring the employees too.

If budgeting is to have any value at all, it needs a radical overhaul. In today's dynamic marketplace, budgeting can no longer serve as a company's only management system; it must integrate with and support dedicated strategy management systems, process improvement systems, and the like. In this paper, Professor Peter Horvath and Dr Ralf Sauter present what's wrong with the current approach to budgeting and how to fix it.
In this white paper CCH provide checklists to help accountants and finance professionals both in practice and in business examine these issues and make plans. Also includes a case study of a large commercial organisation working through the first year of mandatory iXBRL filing.
