Presentation to the Canadian Evaluation Society Annual Conference, Ottawa, June 2, 2009
Innovative evaluation methods and tools are emerging in the fields of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and social enterprise. The focus of these innovations is the measurement of the “blended value” (financial, social and environmental) that is created by CSR and social enterprise, which is of interest to social investors, “philanthrocapitalists” and governments.
This panel will summarize findings-in-process from ongoing applications in these spheres in Ontario, Ghana and other developing-world settings. There are advantages and challenges in applying “blended value” approaches that the presenters will examine. The panelists will also discuss the implications of these findings for the theory and practice of evaluation.
Measuring Social Enterprise Impacts and Benefits:Emerging Approaches and IssuesKarim Harji
Presentation at the CASC/ANSER conference, Ottawa, May 27, 2009
For many social enterprises, the important issues of accountability and performance often get funneled into a discussion around metrics and measurement. Yet the measurement of the “blended value” (financial, social and environmental) that is created by social enterprise is a relatively under-developed facet of the social finance marketspace. This session will present emerging approaches and methods to assess, manage and communicate the complexity of social and financial value creation. Drawing on Canadian and international examples, the potential contributions of these approaches to the broader debate around social impact measurement will also be examined.

Social Finance and Impact Investing in CanadaKarim Harji
Presentation at OISE - November 21, 2012
• An overview of the state of social finance and impact investing across Canada
• An analysis of why Canada is well positioned to become a leader globally
• A participatory discussion on the key issues such as:
-- The perceived trade-offs between social impact vs. financial return;
--- How philanthropy can complement social finance;
--- Measurement of social value creation;
--- Legislation and public policy; and
--- Bridging silos between sectors and organizations.
In the past, Canadians relied on governments and non-profits to meet social needs, while leaving markets, private capital and business to deliver financial returns. This binary system is breaking down. Profound societal challenges require us to find new ways to mobilize ingenuity and resources for effective, long-term solutions. A social finance marketplace investing in social, environmental and economic returns.

Due to the current instability in the business world, organizations should be able to anticipate changes and have coherent responses at hand to effective manage risks, create value, build good relations, increase profit and improve competitive positioning.
A report titled Exploring Strategic Risk issued in 2013 for Forbes Insights by Deloitte, contains some very important conclusions for the business community. 300 executives from around the world were interviewed for the study, in an attempt to find out their vision of the risk strategy and current changes and analysing how organizations should face these new challenges.
Sometimes it is difficult to link risks to a specific financial impact and not all data are pertinent to the evaluation of emerging risks. That's why companies have to be aware of internal risks and manage them well in order to be able to manage external risks and invest into strategic assets such as human capital, clients and innovation.
This insight explains the case of the financial services as the sector that less trust generates due to its short-sightedness, lack of values and lack of professional education that resulted in corruption and bad practices, which compromised the financial sector.
The report A Crisis of Culture: Valuing Ethics and Knowledge in Financial Services examines the role of integrity and knowledge in restoring culture in the financial services industry. The conclusions appear in the full version of this document.
The financial industry is just one example in the wider panorama. Lack of values is widespread and creates significant risks. Bad practices trigger problems such as loss of profit, loss of reputation and even loss of shareholders, clients and employees.
The crisis, as well as the arrival of new technologies, urges companies to maintain their good practices and emphasize aspects as ethics, leadership, commitment, performance, transparency and sustainability.
The digital revolution and social networks encourage companies to be more transparent: companies meet their promises and obligations, deliver a coherent dialogue and improve the relationship with their stakeholders.
Application of values raises the possibility of good results and profits for companies through improvement of their reputation and business as well as optimization of resources. This certainly creates competitive advantages, establishes a strong cultural connection and improves employees’ motivation.
Before taking any decision, an institution should keep in mind the fact that it needs implicit and explicit public approval. Good business management implies risk management, creating a climate of trust, good will, credibility, social commitment and empathy between stakeholders and the company.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

2. Innovative evaluation methods and tools are emerging in the
fields of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and social
enterprise. The focus of these innovations is the measurement of
the “blended value” (financial, social and environmental) that is
created by CSR and social enterprise, which is of interest to social
investors, “philanthrocapitalists” and governments.
This panel will summarize findings-in-process from ongoing
applications in these spheres in Ontario, Ghana and other
developing-world settings. There are advantages and challenges
in applying “blended value” approaches that the presenters will
examine. The panelists will also discuss the implications of these
findings for the theory and practice of evaluation.

• Investing more heavily in the evaluation of the microloan
program generates detailed client-success data, which has
both social and commercial value
• What is the link between results for microloan borrowers and
the credit-union's overall business performance?
• Which indicators and levels of the evaluation matter most to
which stakeholders, and what type of evidence is most
credible for each stakeholder group?
• What is the optimum allocation of time and money across
various evaluation components and activities?
• What is the most effective way to convert these evaluation
findings into persuasive lessons for policy-makers?

economic, social and environmental
components
investors simultaneously generate all three
forms of value through providing capital to

these three elements
