Every business, big or small, deals with outgoing payments. Whether it’s to suppliers for inventory, to employees for salaries, or to vendors for services rendered, keeping track of these expenses is crucial. This is where payment vouchers come in – the unsung heroes of the accounting world.
A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.

The Rise and Fall of Ponzi Schemes in America.pptxDiana Rose
Ponzi schemes, a notorious form of financial fraud, have plagued America’s investment landscape for decades. Named after Charles Ponzi, who orchestrated one of the most infamous schemes in the early 20th century, these fraudulent operations promise high returns with little or no risk, only to collapse and leave investors with significant losses. This article explores the nature of Ponzi schemes, notable cases in American history, their impact on victims, and measures to prevent falling prey to such scams.
Understanding Ponzi Schemes
A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam where returns are paid to earlier investors using the capital from newer investors, rather than from legitimate profit earned. The scheme relies on a constant influx of new investments to continue paying the promised returns. Eventually, when the flow of new money slows down or stops, the scheme collapses, leaving the majority of investors with substantial financial losses.
Historical Context: Charles Ponzi and His Legacy
Charles Ponzi is the namesake of this deceptive practice. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors in Boston a 50% return within 45 days or 100% return in 90 days through arbitrage of international reply coupons. Initially, he paid returns as promised, not from profits, but from the investments of new participants. When his scheme unraveled, it resulted in losses exceeding $20 million (equivalent to about $270 million today).
Notable American Ponzi Schemes
1. Bernie Madoff: Perhaps the most notorious Ponzi scheme in recent history, Bernie Madoff’s fraud involved $65 billion. Madoff, a well-respected figure in the financial industry, promised steady, high returns through a secretive investment strategy. His scheme lasted for decades before collapsing in 2008, devastating thousands of investors, including individuals, charities, and institutional clients.
2. Allen Stanford: Through his company, Stanford Financial Group, Allen Stanford orchestrated a $7 billion Ponzi scheme, luring investors with fraudulent certificates of deposit issued by his offshore bank. Stanford promised high returns and lavish lifestyle benefits to his investors, which ultimately led to a 110-year prison sentence for the financier in 2012.
3. Tom Petters: In a scheme that lasted more than a decade, Tom Petters ran a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme, using his company, Petters Group Worldwide. He claimed to buy and sell consumer electronics, but in reality, he used new investments to pay off old debts and fund his extravagant lifestyle. Petters was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
4. Eric Dalius and Saivian: Eric Dalius, a prominent figure behind Saivian, a cashback program promising high returns, is under scrutiny for allegedly orchestrating a Ponzi scheme. Saivian enticed investors with promises of up to 20% cash back on everyday purchases. However, investigations suggest that the returns were paid using new investments rather than legitimate profits. The collapse of Saivian l

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

2. Dear Friends,
As I reflect on this year of our work, I
am pleased to say that during a year
of transition, the Economics Center
has set the stage for increasing
its impact in the community. We
have welcomed Dr. Julie Heath
as our new Director. Julie’s work
with the Center’s dedicated staff
Sean V. McGrory
and with our committed trustees
has strengthened this organization and positioned us for
tremendous growth. This year, our accomplishments include
training 650 educators in our professional development
courses and reaching over 12,000 students who benefited from
our Center’s economic and financial education programs. The
Research and Consulting team of the Center has worked with
high profile clients in our business community, and introduced
a more custom and sophisticated approach to our client reports
which now include infographics and easy-to-read summary of
research findings.
Mission
We would be remiss in not highlighting the 35 years of visionary
leadership of our founding director, Dr. George Vredeveld,
who stepped down from this post this year. He has built this
organization into the premier organization for teaching of
economics and personal finance to elementary and high school
students and teachers. What sets us apart is the way in which we
conduct our work. We are dedicated to building partnerships
with those who benefit from our work. This organization is a
tremendous legacy of George’s work in our community. Under
George’s leadership, our research division became the leading
provider of economic data and analysis.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I would like to thank those
who gave their time and talent to help us make an impact. We
appreciate philanthropic investments of our donors. It is their
trust and support that are critical for the sustainability of our
work. I would like to recognize the University of Cincinnati
and the Carl H. Lindner College of Business for its academic
leadership. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the commitment
of the Center’s staff.
I look forward to the year ahead as we focus on building and
educating the next generation of leaders, creative thinkers,
informed consumers, and smarter employees.
THE ECONOMICS CENTER IS THE REGION’S NUMBER ONE
RESOURCE FOR ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL EDUCATION AND INFORMATION.
Community Need
Economic and financial literacy is critical to the health of the
economy and to corporate profitability. Students attending
K-12 classrooms are the future economic drivers. The Center
works to educate students and teachers, helping to build
a future workforce through comprehensive and relevant
economic and financial education.
Our MissioN
As a thought leader in the community, the Economics Center
provides the knowledge building blocks for a stronger
economy through economic education and research. Our
student-based programs, interactive tools and professional
development improve the economic and financial literacy of
school children and young adults. Our research and consulting
empowers business and civic leaders to make informed policy
and economic development decisions.
Engaging Students,
Empowering Educators,
Equipping Decision Makers
through the Knowledge
of Economics
Our Impact
2011-2012 Highlights:
Engaged 6,529 students, grades
4-12, throughout the state in the
Stock Market Game; teaching
the basics of investing, risk and
diversification.
Enhanced the economic education
of 5,597 elementary students
from 37 local elementary schools
in Student Enterprise (StEP). Over
2,800 students from the Cincinnati’s
urban neighborhoods participated
in this entrepreneurship program.
Enrolled 32 local high school juniors
and seniors in the Today’s Learners,
Tomorrow’s Leaders (TL2) summer
program, a rigorous, college-level
Microeconomics course.
Offered 40 different professional
development teacher training
courses, for grades K-12, reaching
over 650 educators and selling 873
graduate credits.
Completed more than 30 Research
and Consulting projects for local
and regional clients in the public
and private sectors, totaling nearly
$450,000 in revenues.
3. Community Impact: Engaging Students
Student Enterprise Program (StEP)
Stock Market Game
StEP equips students with 21st century skills: creativity, entrepreneurship, criticalthinking, innovation, and financial responsibility. This incentive-based program
encourages students to set up mini-economies in their school and to learn how to make
responsible money- management choices through hands-on lessons in spending, saving,
and investing. As a result of this program, students’ attendance increases, students’
attitudes improve, and learning of economics and personal finance is enhanced.
The Stock Market Game is an online simulation that allows students to manage and invest
a virtual portfolio of $100,000. For ten weeks, students compete against other teams to
build and manage the best-performing portfolio. A few accomplishments:
A few noteworthy highlights from the year:
Luxottica, Klosterman Bakery, WesBanco, and Fifth Third each adopted a StEP
elementary school and helped carry out the program’s activities. Community
partnerships have become critical to StEP’s sustainability and have allowed the
Center’s staff to expand StEP to additional schools.
In May, the 6th annual Market Madness took place at the University of Cincinnati.
More than 900 StEP students from 16 local schools came together to advertise,
buy, and sell 26 different products from their businesses. This year, the program
emphasized service-learning. Students collectively earned $4,897,251 StEP dollars
and donated 5 percent of their earnings to the Freestore Food Bank, the Ronald
McDonald House, and eight other local charities.
D
uring the fall game, the Economics Center partnered with US Bank to engage
students in Princeton High School. US Bank employees served as classroom speakers.
Students presented their investment portfolios to US Bank’s professionals.
I
n May, the Center hosted the 3rd annual regional Portfolio Challenge where top
teams competed for a chance to win a trip to New York City, generously sponsored by
Ohio National Financial Services, to visit Jennison, Lazard and Goldman Sachs. Over
160 students attended the Portfolio Challenge and students from Cincinnati Country
Day and Cincinnati Christian School won the competition.
Today’s Learners, Tomorrow’s Leaders (TL2)
In June, 32 high school students participated in the Center’s three-week, highly
competitive, Today’s Learners, Tomorrow’s Leaders (TL2) program. Each student completed
a rigorous, college-level Microeconomics course. This unique course blended classroom
instruction with real-world application of microeconomic concepts as students visited
local businesses such as Procter & Gamble, Citibank and Luxottica.
4. Community Impact: Empowering Educators and Equipping Decision Makers
Educator Professional Development
Research & Consulting Division
The Center’s teacher training program increases the depth of knowledge of financial
and economic concepts, helps teachers integrate this content into the Common
Core standards, and sharpens instructional skills. Well-trained educators are the most
sustainable vehicle for reaching several thousand students each year with economic
and financial education.
The Research and Consulting team of the Center provides the knowledge building blocks
that helps clients make better finance, policy, and economic development decisions. The
Center introduced a new custom approach to research, and a more sophisticated design for
reports. A few other notable accomplishments from the year:
This year, 25 education leaders from 14 districts participated in the Alpaugh Scholars
Leadership program, attending monthly sessions to discuss community issues
such as healthcare, economic development, and social services. As a result of the
generous contribution from the Alpaugh family, our community has a cadre of
more informed school leaders with a better understanding of the needs of Greater
Cincinnati, and a better ability to educate our future workforce.
In May, the Center hosted its first “Toast to Teachers” event during Teacher
Appreciation Week. The Center’s education staff met with more than 100 local
educators at a social gathering to express gratitude for the contributions Cincinnati
area teachers make in the lives of students.
Earned nearly $450,000 in research revenue by completing economic analyses for clients
from public and private sectors, including the Cincinnati Reds, Talbert House, City of
Cincinnati, Western & Southern Open, Carter and The Banks, Music Hall Revitalization
Corp., Community Mercy Health Partners, Environmental Protection Agency, Freedom
Center, Kenton County Airport Board, Uptown Consortium, Inc., Focus on Ohio’s Future,
Duke Energy, Greater Cincinnati Energy Alliance, and several others.
Launched the Research Fellows
program, a unique opportunity
for the Economics Center to
collaborate with experts to add
capacity to the Center’s research
team. Fellows include individuals
from within the University and
the business community: Andy
Benson of KnowledgeWorks, David
Brasington of the UC Department
of Economics, Carlee Escue of the
UC College of Education, Elizabeth
Edwards a Venture capitalist and
author, Olivier Parent of the UC
Department of Economics, Richard
Stevie of Integral Analytics, and
Margy Waller of Topos Partnership.

A special thank you to the Alpaugh Family
Foundation
The Alpaugh Family Foundation contributed
$1,000,000 to the George Vredeveld Legacy
Fund to establish the Center’s i-learning
initiative. The goal of this initiative is to
provide online economics and personal
finance training for elementary and
high school students and teachers both
regionally and across the nation.
The Alpaugh family has been committed
to the mission of economic and financial
education of our teachers for the past 35
years. The Alpaugh Family Foundation also
funds the Alpaugh Scholars Leadership
Program each year, providing educators the
opportunity to engage with community
leaders and discuss economic issues.
“The new i-Learning program will allow us
to expand our reach exponentially to assist
more K-12 educators,” said Dr. Julie Heath,
Economics Center Director. “Mr. Alpaugh’s
gift will be used to leverage resources and
experts in online economics education to
most efficiently develop our own online
platform. Educators will be able to look to us
to provide a one-stop portal for economic
and financial education resources.”

www.economicscenter.org
We’ve already taught economics and personal finance to
1,000,000 students. Will you help us reach the next 1,000,000?
After three and a half decades of work, the Economics Center has trained thousands
of teachers, developed countless classroom materials and teaching resources, and
impacted one million students through innovative school programs that foster and
support knowledge of the economy, entrepreneurship and personal financial literacy.
Rapid changes in our economy and the workplace demand a more contemporary set
of skills from young individuals entering the workforce. Our work allows teachers to
effectively equip their students with the skills they will need for life.
Knowledge of economics and financial education has the power to transform one’s
life and improve decision-making. It is with a focus on creating an informed future
generation that we are laying a solid foundation for urban economic growth.
To join our effort, please support the Center at www.economicscenter.org/give.
