The discipline of accounting has come a long way, as the following essay, shows. From its simple roots in the backwoods of Assyria 7000 years ago where traders haggled with one another over their goods and recorded them in cuneiform on rocks and wax tablets, accounting has ballooned into a growing morass of rules, regulations and controls in order to check corruption. Need to check corruption, in turn came about, as the world itself grew more complex and traders developed into simple businesses that then became firms with various investors, before gradually merging into the international corporations that we have today.

Disasters are political occurrences; they can either destroy or glorify politicians. The spectacular temperament of disasters calls for the involvement of these chief executives and they test their leadership merits. How politicians control these rare occurrences can frame how their whole term in office receive judgments. During his last White House Press Conference, President George W. Bush was asked about the mistake he made during his reign, and among his regrets was the federal response to Hurricane Katrina (Reeves, 2011). Even though he never campaigned on his capacities to control natural disasters, Hurricane Katrina formed part of his legacy. To an impacted voter, the policy of disaster is potential even more significant than choices regarding the economy, education or war. As a result, disaster management holds a great impact on politicians because people judge them from the manner in which they respond and mitigate disasters. This paper therefore evaluates the current state of emergency management field about political influence besides assessing how disaster policy might be more proactive. The paper also assesses Hurricane Katrina, which took place in 2005 in the U.S. and underlines the greatest obstacles to a more proactive evolution of emergency management.
