The Competitive Ability of Norwegian AS (limited) Companies
Norway was one of the last countries in Europe to drop the requirement for an annual audit for all national limited companies (AS and ASA) regardless of the size or turnover of the company. In 2011 this requirement was lifted for small limiteds, i.e. companies with less than NOK 5,000,000 in turnover, fewer than 10 employees and a total value of assets less than NOK 20,000,000. Parent companies are still obliged to file annual accounts, regardless of size or activity. From 2012 the minimum share capital requirement will be relaxed. These two measures reduce the benefits of NUF's over small AS's.

“The shift from the perception of the child as innocent to the perception of the child as competent has greatly increased the demands on contemporary children for maturity, for participating in competitive sports, for early academic achievement, and for protecting themselves against adults who might do them harm. While children might be able to cope with any one of those demands taken singly, taken together they often exceed children’s adaptive capacity.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“Certain brief sentences are peerless in their ability to give one the feeling that nothing remains to be said.”
