    This thesis evaluates the Corporate Governance practices and placement of internal control into the processes of the Northway Migration Consultancy, a UAE based migration Consultancy Company. The survey method has been used to answer the research questions. There were 22 respondents to the questionnaire and all the members took an active part in the survey. To achieve this aim Mr. Muhammad Asif, Managing Director of Northway migration consultancy was the commissioner of this re-search and he extended full support in getting all the participants to take part in the questionnaire response through Webropol. In the theoretical framework the relevant theories forming part of the Corporate Governance code have been included such as the Cadbury report, Hampel report, Turnbull report, and FRC Guidance, UK CG Code, and COSO requirements. In the literature review the implementation of the Corporate Governance and Internal Control components in three organizations including Nestle, SERCO, and College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultant and their implications were discussed and evaluated on how effectively they have incorporated all these requirements in their process. The methodology discussed different approaches to the research. It also included the research methodology adopted for this thesis. Finally, the conclusion discussed the Northway Migration Consultancy effectiveness in adopting the Corporate Governance and Internal Control strategies. From the responses and the data analysed it has been established that although Northway Migrations is following many governance and control practices it is not being regulated and overseen by any regulatory body in UAE. Therefore, they can seek the membership of CG regulatory bodies in UAE and look for constituting some necessary committees to bring more transparency in their governance structure and practices

    Prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths in pastoral sheep and goat flocks in the Cholistan desert of Pakistan

    Small ruminants are a major source of cash for many rural populations, especially in semi-arid and arid regions of developing countries. Extensively managed animals often host gastrointestinal parasites, and even chronic infestations lead to economic losses. We evaluated the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths in sheep and goats of the Cholistan desert, Pakistan, where livestock is the backbone of the regional economy. Fresh faeces (10 - 15 g) were collected from 500 sheep and 500 goats across five different localities. Standard parasitological techniques served to identify parasite eggs, and copro-culture enabled larval determination of specific nematodes. Overall helminth prevalence was 78.1% across the 1000 animals; pure nematode infestations were most prevalent (37.5%), followed by pure trematode (7.9%), pure cestode (2.6%) and pure protozoa infestations (0.8%). Mixed infestations with nematodes and trematodes occurred in 6.4% of all animals, mixed nematode-cestode infestations in 3.8%, and all three groups were found in 19.1% of the sheep and goats. In goats more males (81.1%) than females (77.0%) were infested, the opposite was found in sheep (73.6% males, 79.5% females). Parasites were especially prevalent in suckling goats (85.2%) and sheep (88.5%) and to a lesser extent in young (goats 80.6%, sheep 79.3%) and adult animals (goats 72.8%, sheep 73.8%). Given the high infestation rates, particular attention should be paid to management of suckling animals. A general means of reducing infestation rates might be the systematic testing of traditional plant-based remedies against helminths for cheap and regular deworming of the herds
