The Economic Entity Assumption says that the activities of the entity are to be kept separate from the activities of its owner and all other economic entities.

Wikify date July 2011 In accounting , a business or an organization and its owners are treated as two separately identifiable parties. This concept is called businessentity concept . In accounting, the separate entity concept treats a business as distinct and separate from its owners. The business stands apart from other organizations as a separate economic unit. It is necessary to record the business s transactions separately, to distinguish them from the owners personal transactions. This helps to give correct determination of true financial condition of the business. This concept can be extended to accounting separately for the various divisions of a business in order to ascertain the financial ... same individuals or group. An example is a sole trader or one man business the sole trader takes money from the business by way of drawings money for his own personal use. Despite it being his business and apparently his money, there are still two aspects to the transaction the business is giving money ... trader and the business, and the sole trader is liable for all of the debts of the business, business transactions will probably still be taxed separately from personal transactions, and the proprietor of the business may also find it useful to see the financial results of the business. For these reasons, the affairs of the individuals behind a business should be kept separate from the affairs of the business itself. Examples Mr. X has three rooms in a house he has rented for 3,000 per month. He has set up a single member accounting practice and uses one room for the purpose. Under the businessentity concept, only 1 3 of the rent or 1,000 should be charged to business, because the other two rooms or 2,000 worth of rent are expended for personal purposes. blockquote The entity view holds the business enterprise to be an institution in its own right separate and distinct from the parties who furnish the funds. blockquote ref http www.jstor.org pss 241783 The Entity Concept in Accounting ... more details
Orphan date February 2009 A responsible entity is a peculiarly Australia n invention designed to replace the manager trustee in managed investment scheme s. It was created by the http www.austlii.edu.au au legis cth consol act mia1998208 index.html Managed Investments Act 1998 , which made significant amendments to the prescribed interest provisions contained in the Australian Corporations Act . The new arrangements replaced the relatively well known formula used in most common law jurisdictions of a two tiered trustee management company regime with a single responsible entity. The responsible entity holds scheme property on trust for scheme members. The responsible entity has power to appoint an agent to do anything that it is authorised to do in connection with a scheme. This may include the appointment of a custodian to hold scheme property on behalf of the responsible entity. Since November 1999 the Australian takeover scheme regulations were extended to listed schemes and the takeovers provisions and compulsory acquisitions provisions apply. A Responsible Entity has the dual role of trustee and manager of an investment scheme, and must be appointed if an investment scheme needs to be registered. The Responsible Entity must be an Australian public company, with certain levels of net tangible assets, depending on the value of the scheme s assets. The Responsible Entity must hold an Australian Financial Services Licence . When acting on behalf of an investment scheme, the Responsible entity must Act honestly Exercise a reasonable degree of care and diligence Act in the best interest of members of the investment scheme Treat all investment scheme members equally A Responsible Entity can either be owned by the same group as a fund manager, an internal responsible entity, or be an external responsible entity to the fund manager.

Entity realism is a philosophical position within the debate about scientific realism . Whereas traditional scientific realism argues that our best scientific theories are true, or approximately true, or closer to the truth than their predecessors, entity realism does not commit itself to judgments concerning the truth of scientific theories. Instead, entity realism claims that the theoretical entity entities that feature in scientific theory theories , e.g. electron s , should be regarded as real if and only if they refer to phenomena that can be routinely used to create effects in domains that can be investigated independently. Manipulative success thus becomes the criterion by which to judge the reality of typically unobservable scientific entities. As Ian Hacking , the main proponent of this formulation of entity realism, puts it referring to an experiment he observed in a Stanford laboratory, where electrons and positrons were sprayed, one after the other, onto a superconductor superconducting metal sphere , if you can spray them, then they are real. ref Hacking, I Representing and Intervening , page 24. Cambridge University Press, 1983. ref Entity realism has been an influential position partly because it coincided with a general trend in philosophy of science, and science studies more generally, to downplay the role of theories and put more emphasis on experiment ation and scientific practice. Thus, entity realism sometimes is also called instrumental realism or experimental realism ref Resnik, D Hacking s Experimental Realism , Canadian Journal of Philosophy Vol. 24 1994 395 412. ref . While many philosophers acknowledge the intuitive pull of entity realism, it has also been strongly some would say conclusively criticised, both as being too restrictive in that it ignores entities that are observable yet do not lend themselves to manipulation ref Shapere, D Astronomy and Antirealism , Philosophy of Science Vol. 60 1993 134 150. ref and as being too permissive ... more details
In the relational data model , entity integrity is one of the database integrity three inherent integrity rules . Entity integrity is an integrity rule which states that every table must have a primary key and that the column or columns chosen to be the primary key should be unique and not null. ref Beynon Davies P. 2004 . Database Systems 3rd Edition. Palgrave, Basingstoke, UK. ISBN 1 4039 1601 2 ref Within relational databases using SQL , entity integrity is enforced by adding a primary key clause to a schema definition. The system enforces Entity Integrity by not allowing operation INSERT, UPDATE to produce an invalid primary key. Any operation that is likely to create a duplicate primary key or one containing nulls is rejected. The Entity Integrity ensures that the data that you store remains in the proper format as well as comprehensible.
