auditing

There are two
questions
1). Create a scenario
that demonstrates specific ways in which management could manipulate
transactions impacting inventory values that the auditing team might not
detect.

Recommend key
strategies that the auditor could implement in anticipation of such manipulation.

Justify your response.

2).
Please respond with 5 to 7 sentences to the rebuttal
Management can overstate
inventory and cost of goods sold by inflating inventory or overhead expenses.
The key strategy to uncover this kind of fraud is to perform substantive
analytical procedures of inventory balances, including:
1. Compare gross margin percentage
with that of previous years.
2. Compare inventory turnover
(cost of goods sold divided by average inventory) with that of previous
years.
3. Compare unit costs of
inventory with those of previous years.
4. Compare extended inventory
value with that of previous years.
5. Compare current-year
manufacturing costs with those of previous years (variable costs should be
adjusted for changes in volume).
Substantive analytical
procedures may include the assessment of reasonability of inventory count with
available storage facilities. Auditor needs to obtain a knowledge about
inventory (size, weight, method of storage) and the knowledge about the
available storage footage.
After performing the
appropriate tests of the cost accounting records and substantive analytical
procedures, auditors have a basis for designing and performing tests of details
of the ending inventory balance, including a physical observation of the
inventory.

Share a first hand account of a moment you have experienced or witnessed that illustrates a specific change needed in our schools.

Write an Op Ed using 750-1000 words.
Share a first hand account of a moment you have experienced or witnessed that illustrates a specific change needed in our schools.
After the first hand account, explain how the moment illustrates the need for change. Like the Ordinary Moment assignment, describe a single specific moment. Keep the moment focused and limited in time, Unlike the Ordinary Moment assignment, your event has to relate to school, and you can focus on a moment that stands out for you, that was perhaps unordinary, something you won’t forget.
To strengthen your argument include a counter argument, a rebuttal and a call to action along with your explanation.
Checklist for the Op Ed:
Use all of the skills applied to the Ordinary Moments assignment to develop a vivid personal narrative (first hand account)
After the above story, add an explanation of the lesson the narrative teaches and the problem it illustrates.
The Explanation will include the following:
The problem clearly illustrated in a specific moment written as descriptive narrative
A meaningful counter argument. Name what might keep reasonable people from agreeing with you.
A thoughtful rebuttal to the counter argument that directly addresses the weakness of the counter argument.
Include a call to action. Make clear what you would like your reader to do in response to your Op Ed.
For more information on the elements required in an Op Ed please see Five Parts of an Op Ed.
3. Show evidence of your assignment developing through a writing process. Submit the rough draft and show the revised changes in the final draft
4. Apply MLA format
5. Show you are improving the skills you applied in Essay 1: The Ordinary Moments Assignment

Chikungunya Virus

Epidemiologists study the occurrence and transmission of human diseases on a global scale. This is no easy task since pathogens, or disease-causing organisms, are everywhere. It is virtually impossible to avoid coming into contact with a potentially pathogenic microorganism in the modern world.
In this Assignment, you will practice some epidemiology. You will apply what you have learned about the structure and function of microorganisms as you explore a pathogenic microbe and its impact on human health.
To complete the Assignment, choose one of the microbes assigned by your instructor. Include the following prompts within your discussion:
Provide background about the disease-causing microbe. Is it a virus, bacterium, etc.? What are the symptoms of the disease?
Describe the impact of this microbe on human health. Why would this disease be of concern to epidemiologists? What is the prevalence of the disease in the human population?
Describe any treatments available for the disease. Include vaccinations and chemotherapeutic treatment options.
In your opinion, would the innate immune system or the adaptive immune system be more effective at fighting off this infection? Explain your answer and provide examples as support.
800 words
At least 3 academic sources. These can include references provided within the project directions and the textbook. The Purdue Global Library is also a great source for academic references. Do not use sources such as Wikipedia or Ask.com. References should be credible and academic in nature.
Free of grammatical and spelling errors
No evidence of plagiarism. Assignment should be written in your own words, and sources should be properly cited and referenced. Use of quoted material should be limited to no more than 10% of the total paper.

personal letter

Topic and Structure:
Personal Letter Construct a letter focused on persuading the reader to change his or her stance or opinion.
Think about a personal opinion you hold in which someone close to you (friend, family member, etc.) disagrees. Appeal to your reader in an emotional manner using appropriate language and strategies such as motivation, inspiration, etc., to write a personal, passionate letter in an effort to get your reader to agree with your perspective. Kindly play off the readers emotions to draw him or her into your argument. Make sure your appeals are legitimate and straightforward so that you avoid using logical fallacies in your efforts.

Use letter format, provided at the end of these instructions, and begin with an introduction that explains your topic. Make a fluid transition into the thesis where you issue your opinion as well as three reasons that support your claim. Present and argue each of the three reasons in three separate body paragraphs. Finish with a conclusion that summarizes your appeals and makes one final effort to sway your reader.
Sample Thesis Statement: Therefore, Carol, my dear friend, please reconsider homeschooling your children because this approach can stunt a childs social development; it tends to be subpar to nationally recognized curriculum, ultimately becoming a hindrance to college acceptance; and lastly, the chosen teacher, whether that ends up being you or another qualified instructor, will not have the resources that public school teachers have available to continuously enhance and advance instruction.

The purpose of the Response Essay is to reflect on the materials under review, but also your experience as a reader.
You are not expected to restate what you have read or restate what others have written about what you have read. The purpose is to examine the process of your own reading. For example, what do you think of the language that these writers use? What do you think about the characters or the events? You are welcome to compare one reading to another or, if you wish, introduce an example from your own experience that may shed light on what you have read. Ultimately, discovering the significance of these readings means thoughtfully examining your own point of view as a reader of literature.
