audit accounting assignment

Tableau
In this case, you are
the auditors and trying to use Tableau and 2020 revenue data obtained from
Mason Snow, an audit client, to identify ‘sales on specific days at specific
store locations’ that look most risky (=high possibility of misstatements) so
that the engagement team can focus on those risky amounts in substantive
procedures. This week, you will identify Mason Snow’s fraud risk related to
revenue recognition and continue your Tableau analyses. As a group, each member
of the group must work collaboratively to complete the tasks.

Your Tasks:
Continue your Tableau
analyses of trends in sales and the relationship between sales and weather
patterns. Specifically, you should submit the following analyses.

Pick one store type that the
2020 sales trend looks most abnormal compared to 2019 sales (Note: I noticed many groups used bar and line
graphs in last week’s analyses. When trying to find ‘unusual’ sales
transactions, scatter plots are a better tool to observe outliers than
bar or line graghs).

Put together a MS Word document that
includes

1) the graphs (screenshots) and analyses
(50-100 words) on the store type you selected;
2) Brief conclusion on risk
transactions you would like to select as the sample to test revenue (150
words)

community gang initiative

Assignment Details
The gangs in your town have become increasingly more violent over time. There have been several serious incidents of violence and drive-by shootings, an increase in drug traffic, and attempts to recruit new gang members in the local middle and high schools. In the past, your local police department chose not to partner with the community and failed to see a lasting reduction in gang activity. You know that they have recently started a new community policing program in an effort to try and address this situation.
Your supervisor at the juvenile justice non-profit organization where you work has asked you to create a plan for a community gang initiative that works with the police efforts. You recognize that increasing police patrols and gang arrests in the area are only a short-term solution. You want to implement a program that will provide a long-term solution through community and police cooperation.
Write an action plan of at least 3-5 pages that addresses this problem in the community. Your action plan should include, but is not limited to, the following:
Several initiatives that will assist in rectifying the problems, including the following:
Educational initiatives
Local initiatives
How can the negative effects of violence on children be lessened?
Do you believe that there should be a limitation on the violent video games that children are permitted to play? Explain your position.
What type of assistance will you ask for from the community as a whole?
What role will the police department take?
How will you measure the effectiveness of your plan?

Compare and contrast the perspectives, identifying how they are similar and different in terms of their philosophical assumptions about human nature and personal change, the roles of the practitioner and the client, and the nature of the assessment and intervention process.

The purpose of this assignment
is to encourage students to think understand how the underlying principles of
family therapy models influence the interventions of the practitioner.
Additionally, students will think critically about how social work ethics and
values interface with the specific models.

Choose four class readings that
provide overviews of two of the theoretical
perspectives we cover in the class (structural functionalism and , experiential).
Choose two readings for
each perspective. Summarize the readings very briefly (1-2 paragraphs).
Compare and contrast the perspectives, identifying how they are similar and

Create an 8-12-slide PowerPoint that presents a potential pathway and plan to implement a national health insurance program in the United States.

Create an 8-12-slide PowerPoint that presents a potential pathway and plan to implement a national health insurance program in the United States.
As you explore the physician services market and the hospital market, you will have an opportunity to explore concepts such as supplier-induced demand and cost shifting. The efficiency of physician and hospital services will be explored, as well as price competition of both physicians and hospitals. Since the price that a hospital or physician charges for services is rarely paid, you will have the opportunity to think about the relevance of price and why we even have prices today.
National health insurance is a highly debated topic in the United States. This assessment focus on creating an outline for a plausible national health insurance program, which will bring into consideration a number of factors, such as financing structure of national health insurance, and think about the advantages and disadvantages of a single-payer system, employee mandates, and refundable tax credits. You will have an opportunity to look at our neighbor, Canada, and compare the Canadian health system to that of the United States. What are some of the benefits of the Canadian health care system and do those benefits outweigh the costs, such as longer wait times? As you finalize your assessment you will pick a side—for or against—national health insurance.

Write a 2-4-page executive summary recommending resource investment in a program based on its potential to deliver positive health and economic outcomes.

Write a 2-4-page executive summary recommending resource investment in a program based on its potential to deliver positive health and economic outcomes.
As a health care professional, you must have a foundational, high-level understanding of health care economics:
One part of this foundation comes from understanding:
The basic laws of economics as they apply to the health care industry.
How the health care system creates unique economic challenges and burdens on all stakeholders.
Another part of this foundation comes from understanding:
The history and trends in health care economics around such topics as the role of the government and government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
Trends in patient payments.
The resulting changes in health care expenditures, as well as areas for improvement in the health care system (Feldstein, 2012).
Another key is understanding the concepts and processes involved in the production of health care:
Multiple inputs influence health and wellness.
Medical care is only one input, although a significant one.
The health production function and decision rules for allocating health care resources is a key component of the first assessment in this course. For this assessment, think about the ways in which health production efficiency, both technical and economical, can help drive decisions on the allocation of resources (inputs) to drive improved patient health and results (outcomes) (Feldstein, 2012).

Professional Context
The ability to research, examine, and determine the most efficient ways to allocate resources in order to produce to best health outcomes is a key competency for health care economic professionals. In the complex field of health care, there will always be multiple ways and multiple programs in which an organization can invest resources. It is the health care economics professional’s responsibility to examine the cost of the inputs in comparison to the historic or projected output of health and then make recommendations regarding investment. Looking at investment is not always entirely about the amount of positive outputs—technical efficiency, economic efficiency, and stakeholder priorities will all also play a part (Feldstein, 2012). Being able to not only understand and crunch the numbers, but also navigate these other considerations, is vital in becoming an effective health care economics professional.
Scenario
You are a health care economics professional with specific expertise in using a health production function to allocate resources. A member of the Board of Directors has asked you to prepare an executive summary that will help the board understand the current practices of the organization and where the organization should align itself in light of current and emerging trends. Additionally, you have been asked to analyze the inputs and outputs of two current programs in the organization in order to make allocation recommendations about how to best utilize the available resources to achieve the best possible outputs for the programs.
This assessment has three main parts:
The first part is your examination of the organization’s current practices and alignments with historical health care trends, as well as how the organization needs to change to align itself with current and emerging trends.
The second part is your analysis of two existing programs that could be candidates for further investment (Note: You may use two program examples from your textbook, your own research, or your own organization as the context for your analysis and this executive summary.).
The third part is your proposal on how to allocate resources for the two programs, as well as a brief explanation of how the views of the stakeholders influenced your decision making project.
If you have not already, it may be helpful to complete the formative activity to check your understanding of the economic concepts relevant to this assessment.
