| 1. ''International law - treaties.''
| | ''UK''. |
|
| |
|
| A treaty between states, especially a multilateral treaty.
| | (ONS). |
|
| |
|
| Examples include the OECD model tax convention.
| | The executive office of the UK Statistics Authority (a UK government department) responsible for the collection of various categories of financial and demographic statistics, including census information and inflation indices. |
| | |
| | |
| 2. ''Constitutional law - unwritten parts.''
| |
| | |
| Parts of the rules and practices of a state that are not written down, but are followed as if they were.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 3. ''Ethics - law - regulation - markets.''
| |
| | |
| Conventions are standards and principles of conduct that are additional to compliance with regulations and law.
| |
| | |
| For example, the ACT's Ethical Code requires the ACT's members to comply with "the laws, regulations and conventions of the countries and markets in which they transact business..."
| |
| | |
| | |
| 4. ''Markets - professional practice.''
| |
| | |
| A generally understood and accepted method of doing or saying something.
| |
| | |
| | |
| For example the ACT/360 day count convention for many major currencies, used to calculate short-term interest payable and receivable.
| |
| | |
| Another example is the ''dual aspect convention'' - or ''double entry principle'' - in bookkeeping, that every accounting transaction affects two accounts.
