    The Parmalat situation started out as a fairly standard – although sizeable –accounting fraud. Not even the best auditors could prepare for what was to come from this company. The Parmalat group, a world leader in the dairy food business, collapsed and entered bankruptcy protection in December 2003 after acknowledging massive holes in its financial statements. This happened when billions of euros seem to have gone missing from the company’s accounts. This dramatic collapse has led to the questioning of the soundness of accounting and financial reporting standards as well as of the Italian corporate governance system. Parmalat, which is headquartered in the central Italian city of Parma, was, like most Italian firms, launched as a family business. Under the direction of Calisto Tanzi, the capofamiglia, he began expanding the business shortly after his father’s death in 1961, transforming it from a small sausage and cheese shop into an international food and beverage concern. In a world where your network is your net worth, he formed close relationships with the Christian Democrats, who governed Italy throughout the postwar period. Today Parmalat is a leading producer of such items as pasteurized milk, cheese, yogurt, cookies, juice and iced tea, most of which are sold under a variety of names in different countries. Well-known names in North America include Archway and Mother’s cookies, Olivina margarine, Black Diamond and Balderson’s cheeses, and Astro yogurt. After such a description one may think that the company is very successful but this was only the beginning.…

Currently Spain has the highest unemployment rate in the European Union (Kern, 2010). Next I looked at Italy which is governed by a democratic republic.

Were I to invest money in either of these countries I would have to choose Italy. Despite any political or economical problems, Italy seems to be the more stable option to…

    In 2007 Italy had a population size of 58.1 million people (Italy: Population, 2008). It is ranked to have the 22nd largest population worldwide (Croce et al, 2009, p. 153). After more than a decade of experiencing fewer births than deaths, the population has continued to grow (Italy: Population, 2008). This growing trend has been influenced by immigration to the area. The number of people from overseas who decided to take residence in Italy increased from 4.5% in 2005 to 8% in 2011 (“Italy economy”, 2012). A majority of those immigrants move to northern Italy from the following regions: Albania, Morocco, Romania, China, and Ukraine (Italy: Population, 2008).

    After WWII, Italy rapidly transitioned from an agriculturally based economy to a highly industrialized economy in order to keep up with other developing countries. Italy is a leading country in world trade and exports as it praises itself on its well known industries such as its prominent and inventive business economic district, an industrious and aggressive agricultural sector, and for its innovative automobile, industrial, appliance and fashion design abilities. Italy has numerous small businesses that propel its economy, rather than global corporations that fuel globalization. Given that fact, Italy was the seventh largest exporter in 2009, trading mostly with other countries in the EU such as Germany, France, and Spain. Tourism is also a big money maker for Italy as it is the fifth most visited country and highest tourism earner in the world. Even after a strong backbone of business and trade, Italy is currently suffering from major economic problems. The debt Italy is in resulting from massive government spending in the 1980’s onward is astronomical ranking in second behind Greece. The Italian economy is weakened by the lack of infrastructure development, market reforms and research investment, and high public deficit. The EU has had to assist Italy numerous times to help its development and growth out of the debt they are…
