    Developing a methodology for the qualitative and quantitative credit analysis of banks in Kenya and Nigeria from a South African perspective
    (2009) Vlok, Stephen Raymond; Holman, Glen; Shev, Joanne
    This study presents research on credit risk assessment in emerging market countries with particular emphasis on the Kenyan and Nigerian markets. Using prior emerging market research, information from credit rating agencies and information gained from a country visit, a revised methodology is devised. Using this methodology, the individual banks scores are in line with the expectations of how they would rank relative to each other in terms of qualitative and quantitative factors.

    A study of some of the combined tax effects of capital gains tax and estate duty and a comparison with similar legislation in the United States of America and the United Kingdom
    (2003) Shev, Joanne; Roeleveld, Jennifer
    This paper presents a study of some of the combined effects of capital gains tax and estate duty. In addition, the current estate tax and inheritance tax situations in the United States of America and United Kingdom, respectively, are discussed in this paper for comparative purposes. The tax regimes in the United States of America and the United Kingdom are relevant to this investigation due to their ability to avoid imposing both capital gains tax and estate tax upon the same assets on the death of an individual. The generation-skipping transfer tax in the United States of America and the United Kingdom inheritance tax generation-skipping provisions are also examined as they may assist to close some of the loopholes in the existing South African estate duty legislation. By closing these loopholes, the need to subject the estate assets to both capital gains tax and estate duty on the death of a person may be negated.
