Paul Palmer

After leaving school at 15 with a CDB (Could Do Better) after his name, Paul Palmer decided he in fact could do better and wrote down his many takes on life. This book is packed full of nostalgic observations on life, play on words and sometimes borders on the realms of fantasy. From flowers to famine and beyond. An eclectic mix from social history, incorporating all the genres throughout the years and with a twist of a comedic view on life in the 50’s and 60’s. More serious aspects of war, peace and politics with some love poems to lighten the mood. Paul turns words into poetic verse which will give the reader a stirring cocktail of emotions and food for thought, with a finish of calm.

When the pandemic hit and everyone was quarantined at home, Paul Palmer contacted Colin Peabody, Chairman of the Coalition of DPS Retirees, and talked over having retirees submit stories about their careers. The original thought was to collect them and then Colin would send them out to retirees in the CDPSR e-mails for our officers to enjoy as they were homebound. It was such a success people began saying the stories should be in a book. The book "That Reminds Me of The Time" was born.

The voluntary sector contains over 50,000 organizations, 320,000 paid staff, and 3 million volunteers. The accounting and financial management of organizations in this sector poses as many difficulties as that of major for-profit organizations, if not more so, given the absence of the profit motive upon which much traditional accounting, finance practice and theory has been developed. This book explores the unique environmental, managerial and philosophical aspects of voluntary organizations as well as the technical specialist characteristics of financial accounting, auditing and taxation that differentiate their role. Introducing and providing descriptions of the main applications of accounting and finance applicable to the role of financial manager, this book uses real life case studies and examines the debates presented by other writers in the field. This key book helps readers make their own critical judgements, and contributes to their understanding of the distinctiveness of voluntary sector accounting and financial management.
