While blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are developing there needs to be a balance between regulation, risk management and innovation, according to The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).
Originally developed to fund blockchain based innovation, Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are when investors receive coins/tokens rather than shares. As a result, ICOs are a potential disruptor of the finance function and risk being used for money laundering as they are outside current security regulations, according to the ACCA.
As the cryptocurrency allows businesses to obtain funding more quickly and easily, ICO activity has increased in the last six months of 2017, with funds raised 40 times more than in the previous year, according to the ACCA report ICOs: real deal or token gesture.
Accountants should guide organisations by keeping up with regulatory announcements in their jurisdictions, as well as training in risk, compliance and governance, Vaidyanathan added.
Regulators have issued warnings of the inherent risks of ICOs, and have adopted various approaches to tackle these risks. For example, South Korea and China have banned ICOs outright and the USA Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has identified unacceptable ICOs. Regulators believe that individual investments should be assessed on a case by case basis, and where ICOs are classed as security, the security regulation requirements should be complied with.


The now sober Hollywood actor Drew Barrymore says that she does not miss drugs.
The 'Charlie's Angels' actor made the statement on the 'Norm Macdonald Has a Show' on Friday.
She also said that she never used hallucinogenics or heroin during her battle with addiction. "I don't know what that's like, but I think I liked to feel good. I'm an upper person. You know, I'm like, 'Woo hoo!' I also didn't want to be like, 'Man, I see s-t." she added.
While Barrymore's days of drug use are behind her, she admitted that she still drinks socially. "I enjoy my life and get out of my own head, it's not like I'm this militant person of clarity and presence, but [drug] literally seems like my worst nightmare right now." she clarified.
Earlier this week, the 'Blended' actor was spotted with her ex-boyfriend Justin Long at New York City's Lowell Hotel. The pair dated for two years from August 2007 till October 2010. After parting ways with Long, Drew married actor Will Kopelman in June 2012, before calling it quits in 2016.

Alternative Tuition Models in Focus
A Webinar Series
Schedule and Presenters
Jewish Communal Professional Discounts
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM PT
More than two dozen schools across the U.S. now offer substantial tuition discounts for Jewish communal professionals. Learn about the objectives and results of these programs in schools and communities. Join us for a conversation with Dr. David Bryfman, CEO of the Jewish Education Project, a strong advocate of tuition discounts for Jewish communal professionals. David will share his vision for why Jewish non-profits should offer tuition subsidies as part of their employee compensation packages.
Dr. David Bryfman is the Chief Executive Officer of The Jewish Education Project. After working in formal and informal Jewish educational institutions in Australia, Israel, and North America, David earned his Ph.D. in Education and Jewish Studies from NYU, focusing on the identity development of Jewish adolescents. David has authored several articles and presented broadly on topics ranging from the Jewish teenage experience, innovation and change in Jewish life, Israel education and more broadly about Jewish education. He is a founder of the annual Jewish Futures conference, helped direct the 2019 study "GenZ Now: Understanding and Connecting with Jewish Teens Today", and was the lead researcher of the groundbreaking 2016 study, "Generation Now: Understanding and Engaging Jewish Teenagers Today," and editor of Experience and Jewish Education, a compendium of essays written by and for Jewish experiential educators. David is a member of Cohort Three of Leading Edge's CEO Onboarding Program. He is an alum of the Wexner Graduate Fellowship Program and the Schusterman Fellowship.
Tuition Reduction Programs
More than a dozen Jewish day schools across North America have significantly reduced their tuition in order to make their schools more affordable and attract more students. Join us for a conversation with heads of schools that have implemented tuition reduction programs to learn about the objectives of the programs and the impact on enrollment.
Presenters will be announced soon
Community-based Middle Income Tuition Programs
Dozens of schools across North America now offer tuitIon reduction programs for middle income families. At least three communities across North America have implemented a community-wide, middle income initiative. Join us for a conversation with the architect of one of these community-wide programs.

Certainly writing style is much different from oral style. Word choice, for example, is simpler and more informal in speaking than in writing. But you can learn about oral style by reading. In a recent Wall Street Journal article, movie critic Robert Ebert examined film criticism that is available online. He wrote that due to the rise of technology, companies are able to restore old films so that "Today we can see the work of Buster Keaton more clearly than he could in the last three decades of his life." The comparison here clarifies the amazing advances in restoration of old films in the minds of the reader.
A comparison can do the same in a speech. The listener cannot go back over what you have said, so you must be instantly clear. The comparison is probably the shortest way to make a point clear.
Ebert contrasted the poor writing styles of academics with the outstanding film criticism now available online: "They communicate in prose as clear as running water." Again the simple comparison helps the reader understand instantly how Ebert feels about such writing style.
Thus a speaker can learn clarity in his/her craft by reading essays as well as working on specific speaking skills. In fact, any medium other than speaking will broaden our skills in what to say and how to say it.

So sit tight and let us explore all the Game of Thrones filming locations in Dubrovnik i.e including the Red Keep, Qarth, Blackwater Bay and other areas of Kings Landing where scenes like the uprising or the walk of shame took place.
If you don't want to go through the trouble of finding the location on your own and just want to someone to explain you about the location and walk you there along with the printed photo from the scene of Game of Thrones then this is the perfect option for you.
If you are up for some exploration and want to do the treasure hunt around the Old Town of Dubrovnik then you can follow along the guide further and use of map to find the spot which was used in the Game of Thrones Location in Dubrovnik.
Book Game of Thrones Tour in Dubrovnik
To avoid any confusion and have the peace of mind pre book the tickets for the Game of Thrones tour in Dubrovnik.
Be prepared to walk a lot throughout the tour because yes the location is spread across old town and you have to walk to cover all the spots.
Some of the locations are also present with the entry tickets and the walking tours doesn't include the cost of entry tickets which is the City Wall of Dubrovnik and the Lovrijenac Fort which has the cost of 33.18 EUR for City Wall and 13.27 EUR for the Lovrijenac Fort.
Short on time then how about checking out the Google Maps and following the complete trip along with it.

Just head to the old town Bus Stop and then just walk to your right and you will see a small alley taking you to the Dubrovnik West Pier and this should be your ideal starting point for covering the Game of Thrones filming location in Dubrovnik.
The famous battle of Blackwater Bay. This little bay has become famous for that epic battle scene, but it has actually been used for a lot of other scenes too.
Along the bridge in the middle there have been scenes like Shae watching over Sansa speaking to Littlefinger (see photo below).

Just look on your right from the Dubrovnik West Pier you will find the Dubrovnik West Harbour and that is something which you can see for free. If you want this harbour for yourself then you have to visit this place early in the morning and at that time it is completely free for you.
One of the most famous sequences from Season 2 takes place at the mysterious doors in West Harbour, which also serve as Blackwater Bay, when the gold cloaks were given the command to kill all of King Robert Baratheon's illegitimate offspring.
Pile Harbour, located next to Pile Gate and immediately outside Dubrovnik's Old Town Walls, offers a view of King's Landing Harbour. Between Fort Lovrijenac on the right and Bokar Fortress on the left is the little fishing harbour.
The entrance and beaches of King's Landing are depicted in this scene from Season 2, Episode 6, "The Old Gods and the New," as the Lannisters bid Princess Myrcella farewell. In Season 6, Episode 1 of "The Red Woman," the setting reappears as Cersei waits for Myrcella to arrive.
Once you have completed exploring the above three places there are two things which you can do. First you can either go-to Lovrijenac Fort to cover the Red Keep but yes you have to buy the entry ticket for the same for around 200 Kuna / 33.33 EUR more details about that can be found below.
Or you can walk to the Gradac Park which is around 200m from the west harbour.
Gradac Park, which is close to the Old Town of Dubrovnik, was featured in Season 4 Episode 2 of "The Lion and the Rose" as the location of the Purple Wedding feast when King Joffrey was poisoned and died.
In the same season's episode three, "Breaker of the Chains," when Sansa departs King's Landing, the Park was also mentioned. Fort Lovrijenac is not far from the park, which is well worth the trip for the views of the ancient town.
The Dubrovnik City Walls, which are a portion of Fort Bokar, were the backdrop for several of the sea wall images in King's Landing. From Fort Lovrijenac or when strolling around the City Walls, you can get the best views of the fort.
In Season 2 Episode 8 of "The Prince of Winterfell," Tyrion and Lord Varys discuss defence tactics for King's Landing from the City Walls, and this serves as the scene's backdrop.
Now this is something which you can see from the Pile West Harbour for free but if you want to really explore this by climbing up then this is something for which you have to spend. You can save this to be done when you are exploring the city wall later during your things to do in Dubrovnik.

The 16th Century Ethnographic Museum, which was once a granary, today houses agricultural displays and traditional clothing. It is well known as King's Landing's Littlefinger's brothel in Game of Thrones.
Just walk around 20 meter up hill from the Franciscan Monastery and you will reach the Ethnographic Museum.
It appears in "Two Swords," the opening episode of Season 4, where Tyrion meets Oberyn Martell, who is in King's Landing seeking retribution for the deaths of his sister and her children.
The steps of the Great Sept of Baelor at King's Landing are also known as the Jesuit Staircase. There are four locations in the Old Town where Cersei must begin her infamous Walk of Shame in Season 5, Episode 10 of "Mother's Mercy": the Jesuit Staircase, Od Margarite Street, St. Dominik street, and Ploce gate. However, the Jesuit Staircase is arguably the most famous location where Cersei must begin her walk of shame to return home.
Numerous additional people were brought in to line the streets as cafes and shops were closed. In Season 5, Episode 1, "The Wars to Come," the staircase was also seen as a location where people gathered to pay their respects to Tywin Lannister.
Between the Cathedral and Sponza Palace, Dubrovnik's main boulevard is dotted with boutiques, cafes, and old-world structures. It appeared in "Mother's Mercy," Episode 10 of Season 5, where there was a Walk of Penance.
Most of the market scenes at King's Landing, as well as those involving the City Watch and the murder of the bastard children, were filmed in the winding streets of Dubrovnik. It was also mentioned in the Walk of Penance in "Mother's Mercy," Episode 10 of Season 5.
Another noteworthy appearance occurred in Season 2, Episode 5, "The Ghost of Harrenhal," when Bronn and Tyrion heard the outcry against Cersei and King Joffrey, who is referred to as the "product of the incest."
The Dominican Monastery is the main attraction on St. Dominic Street, and it was from its steps that the protest speech against the Lannisters in Season 2, Episode 5, "the Ghost of Harrenhal," was delivered.
Ploe Gate, the Old Town's eastern entrance, was featured in Seasons 2 and 5 of Game of Thrones. In "The Ghost of Harrenhal," the fifth episode of Season 2, Tyrion and Lancel Lannister may be heard conversing with Bronn in the background.
After her Walk of Shame in Season 5, Episode 10 of "Mother's Mercy," Cercsei entered the Red Keep through the Ploe Gate and was met by Qyburn.
In the Season 4 finale, "The Mountain and the Viper," the combat sequence between Prince Oberyn the Mountain and a viper took place in the abandoned Hotel Belvedere, which is situated just outside of Dubrovnik.
Despite Split soccer fans' addition of some paint, the tiny amphitheater is easily recognizable.
Fort Lovrijenac, also known as the St. Lawrence Fortress, is a magnificent fortress outside the western gate of Dubrovnik's Old City and is immediately recognisable as the Red Keep in King's Landing. In Seasons 2 and 3, The Fort reappears frequently in Game of Thrones.
In the Season 2 premiere of "The North Remembers," a tournament is staged there to commemorate King Joffrey's naming.
Later in the episode, Cersei approaches Littlefinger in the Red Keep. He informs her that "knowledge is power," and she responds, "Power is power." King Joffrey arrives there after being attacked at Pile Gate, and Tyrion slaps him there as well.
In Season 3 Episode 1 ("Valar Dohaeris"), when Bronn informs Tyrion he should double his pay now that he is knighted, and in Season 3 Episode 5 ("Kissed by Fire"), when Cersei begs Littlefinger to assist in evicting the Tyrells from King's Landing, Fort Lovrijenac also makes an appearance.
The city walls of Dubrovnik have appeared in the series numerous times and are one of the most well-known and stunning tourist destinations in the city. They were one of the greatest mediaeval fortification complexes, and in 1979, UNESCO designated them as a World Heritage Site.
In the Season 3 premiere, "Valar Dohaeris," Tyrion, Bronn, and Podrick walk along the city walls as labourers fix the damage from the Battle of Blackwater. This is one of the most famous views from the city.
They appear in the scene where the Mountain kills prisoners in Season 4, Episode 7 of "Mockingbird," and once more in Season 5, Episode 3 of "High Sparrow," where King Tommen Baratheon advises Cersei to go back to Casterly Rock.
The Walls feature again in Season 5, Episode 4 'The Sons of the Harpy' when Lancel apprehends Loras Tyrell leading to his arrest and it's from the Walls that we see the ship carrying Marcella's body en route to King's Landing in Season 6, Episode 1 'The Red Woman'.
Tip for City Walls – Game of Thrones travel advice for Dubrovnik: City Walls walking tickets cost 250 Kuna / 33.27 EUR each, and we strongly advise doing it at opening time (often 8am) to avoid the craziest crowds. The Pile gate serves as the primary entrance to the walls, and the St. Lucas Fortress and the St. John's Fortress serve as the other two gates.
Another thing which you would explore if you are doing the city walls tour of Dubrovnik is the Minceta Tower which is the highest point of the city wall.
The majestic Minceta Tower, located atop Dubrovnik, offers stunning views of the Old City. When Daenerys Targaryen looks for the opening in the walls while pursuing her stolen dragons, it is depicted as the House of the Undying in Qarth in Season 2 Episode 10 of "Valar Morghulis."
4. The Rector's Palace
The Rector's Palace, which was constructed in the 15th century for the rector in charge of Dubrovnik at the time, is now a museum.
It was mentioned in Season 2, Episode 6, "The Old Gods and the New," when Daenerys attempted to get ships to transport her army over the Narrow Sea but was turned down by the Spice King.
The city of Qarth is located on the beautiful, green Lokrum Island, just a few hundred meters from the Dubrovnik mainland. The island, which was once used as a quarantine area, is now a well-liked day trip destination for both locals and visitors.
Lokrum Island had an appearance in Season 2, Episode 5, "The Ghost of Harrenhal," when Daenerys Targaryen went there to mingle with the elite of the city. The former Benedictine abbey on the island's cloister is where the action takes place.
We would recommend you to go early morning to Lokrum Island so that you can explore everything on the Island not only the Game of Thrones Shot location on the Island. The earliest ship is at 9 AM in the morning and the last ship back is around 8 PM in the evening.
The tickets can be bought for 200 Kuna / 33 EUR on the old Port of Dubrovnik which is just next to the exit of Domnican Street.
The Trsteno Arboretum's exotic gardens, which are 30 minutes' drive from Dubrovnik and overlook the Adriatic Sea, are frequently seen in Seasons 3 and 4 of Game of Thrones as the King's Landing gardens.
Trsteno Arboretum may only be reached by taxi or public transportation. The public bus cost you around just 5 EUR and you can easily reach to the place. If you want to plan your trip well before time then you can book the public transport ticket from Dubrovnik to Trsteno Arboretum.
You now know all the Game of Thrones filming locations in Dubrovnik, also known as Kings Landing!
Even though Dubrovnik is more famous as the set of Game of Thrones, when we arrived in Split we found that they did Game of Thrones walking tours also there.
When we were exploring Sibenik last year we noticed that there are Game of Thrones tour happening in Sibenik Croatia as well.
But coming back to Dubrovnik if you have time to spare then of course you can search all the places where of Game of Thrones was shot for free with just small effort.
And if you really want to avoid the hassle of searching then we would really recommend you to book the Game of Thrones Dubrovnik Tour because then someone will keep explaining you all the places and you can just enjoy and follow them while the tour guide would lead the way for you.
