In this issue we look at Asia 10 years after its currency crisis had a domino effect on capital markets around the world and find that the region has emerged stronger than ever and better prepared to deal with similar crises in the future.

We also examine the tax implications for working in Canada as a non-non resident – for both employers and employees and recognize that a lot of “headaches” could be avoided by proper planning.

The article on managing employee risk provides useful advice on how to conduct prehiring background checks and implementing controls on use of technol-ogy to prevent fraud; while the review of Dubai shows that it has put the necessary infrastructure in place to become one of the world’s leading financial hubs.
