It should claim through a comparison (or contrast) of a single feature comment to at least two “eastern” religions. (Confucianism, Taoism, Hinduism, and Buddhism) and two “western” religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). For “eastern” religions you should discuss one Chinese (Confucianism or Taoism) and one Indian (Hinduism or Buddhism) religious tradition. One of the “western” religions you discuss must be Islam. Thus your essay will focus on a common theme but discuss it with regard to four distinct religions.

Essay Assignment:
Closely examine how Othello’s psychological transformation throughout the course of the play unmasks his flawed sense of judgment and reasoning. In what ways do jealousy and love intersect and play upon Othello’s perception of Desdemona? How and why is Othello so readily accepting of Iago’s lies? Why is Othello so open to Iago’s misinformation, yet so closed off to the reality of his own marriage? In considering these general questions, trace Othello’s descent into madness and analyze how, from a psychological standpoint, he seems to lose all sense of reason and internalize Iago’s sexually paranoid and misogynist language.

Summary:
This week’s assignment is a case study, which you can find in week 5. Please read the case in its entirety and use the questions at the end of the case as a guideline to write your analysis. Do not number the questions in your paper; write and introduction and a conclusion, use a cover page and a reference page.

Case Study Guidelines:
A case study is a short description of a real business situation. Analyzing case studies gives you the opportunity to apply concepts you’re learning to real business problems. Cases are generally written for several types of analysis. Usually, there is not a “right or wrong” answer. Rather, cases provide a vehicle for you to demonstrate your understanding and ability to apply course concepts and theories. You must use appropriate sources (properly cited) to support your position. Check your analysis by assessing how well it demonstrates your subject knowledge. If your answer relies solely on your ‘impressions’ of the topic, it is likely that the analysis is not your best effort.
Simply answering the questions which are part of the case is not enough; consider the questions to be clues to the important concepts and facts. You are strongly encouraged to use the following outline so that your analysis is organized appropriately:

1. Identify both the key issues and the underlying issues. In identifying the issues, you should be able to connect them to the business principles which apply to this situation.
2. Discuss the facts which affect these issues. The case may have too much information. In your discussion, you should filter the information and discuss those facts which are pertinent to the issues identified above.
3. Discuss your tentative solution to the problem and how you would implement your solution. What actions would you propose to respond to the situation, based on the knowledge you have gained in this course? You should draw on knowledge gained in your readings, experience and coursework (in this course and others) to support your response. Be sure to properly cite references in APA format. You should also draw on other references such as business periodicals and relevant journals. Remember that an analysis is more than simply a summary of the Case Study.
4. Discuss follow-up and contingency plans. How will the organization know that your proposed solution is working? What should they do if it does not work?

Evaluation Criteria
Have you identified the critical issues/problems in the case and analyzed the key facts related to the issues/problems?
Have you discussed a tentative solution that addresses the issues/problems and how you would implement your solution?
Is information from the textbook and other sources integrated into your analysis appropriately? For all sources, you must provide complete APA citations.
Is the paper professionally presented? Remember your audience. It is important to present your information as clearly and succinctly as possible. Do not sacrifice thoroughness for mere brevity.

summarize the four articles that are uploaded from my instructor. Find two more articles for the paper that helps the research question. This assignment is for a literature review. The assignment topic is the research question. What are the main points of the research? What was their hypothesis or research question?
Give at least 2 to 3 paragraphs for each section. I need to summarize what was their hypothesis or research question, briefly describe the methods (is there a dependent Viriable/ independent Variable) how was the data collect. What research tool was used(observation, survey, or interview). What methods were used to support the hypothesis. Were there any limitations to the results?
and what were the findings (are the findings done quantitative or Qualitative).

Be sure to provide a citation (in APA format) for each.
4 of the sources are from the instructor and you will find 2 more sources which make 6 sources for this paper

Research Question: The similarities and differences across police departments in regards to use of force policies in Illinois?

Are the various world systems and development theories out dated for the contemporary Caribbean society?

Choose a state and review the scope of practice for the advanced practice nurse. How does it compare to Florida?
Submission Instructions:
Your initial post should be at least 500 words, formatted and cited in current APA style with support from at least 2 academic sources. Your initial post is worth 8 points.

Case Requirements:
Go to https://www.sec.gov/divisions/enforce/friactions.shtml and select a recent AAER to analyze. Please
DO NOT select an AAER related to insider trading or bribery as you will have difficulty responding to
Question 3 in such instances. Look for AAERs related to accounting firms and CPAs. Additionally, it is
important that you select an AAER that you understand and can succinctly summarize the major details
within 2 pages.

1. Briefly summarize the ethical issue underlying the AAER.

2. How do the facts described within this AAER align with the risk factors discussed in Chapter 4 of your textbook pertaining to inherent risk, control risk, or detection risk?

3. Discuss how auditors could have prevented the AAER from happening. (Note: If it is not directly clear how the external auditor may have prevented the AAER from happening, discuss the role the internal auditor may have been able to play in preventing the issue.)

4. How do you think this AAER may impact investor confidence in the capital markets? How do you foresee this action impacting other stakeholders? Please try to be specific.

The Case:
Excerpt from Hansen, J.C. 2010. Where were the auditors? Using AAERS in introductory or advanced
auditing courses. Journal of Accounting Education 28 (2): 114-127.
SEC Accounting and Auditing Enforcement Releases – Background and Importance
The responsibilities of the SEC are performed through five divisions (Division of Corporation Finance,
Division of Trading and Markets, Division of Investment Management, Division of Enforcement, and
Division of Risk, Strategy and Financial Innovation). On their website
(http://www.sec.gov/about/whatwedo.shtml) the SEC gives a brief description of the responsibilities of
each of these divisions. Responsibilities for the Division of Enforcement are described as follows:
First and foremost, the SEC is a law enforcement agency. The Division of Enforcement assists the
Commission in executing its law enforcement function by recommending the commencement of
investigations of securities law violations, by recommending that the Commission bring civil actions in
federal court or before an administrative law judge, and by prosecuting these cases on behalf of the
Commission… The Division obtains evidence of possible violations of the securities laws from many
sources, including market surveillance activities, investor tips and complaints, other Divisions and Offices
of the SEC, the self-regulatory organizations and other securities industry sources, and media reports.
All SEC investigations are conducted privately. Facts are developed to the fullest extent possible through
informal inquiry, interviewing witnesses, examining brokerage records, reviewing trading data, and other
methods. With a formal order of investigation, the Division’s staff may compel witnesses by subpoena to
testify and produce books, records, and other relevant documents. Following an investigation, SEC staff
present their findings to the Commission for its review. The Commission can authorize the staff to file a
case in federal court or bring an administrative action. In many cases, the Commission and the party
charged decide to settle a matter without trial.
The SEC also explains on its website (http://www.sec.gov/divisions/enforce/friactions.shtml) that their
list of AAERs:
…provides links to financial reporting related enforcement actions concerning civil lawsuits brought by
the Commission in federal court and notices and orders concerning the institution and/or settlement of
administrative proceedings. This list only highlights certain actions and is not meant to be a complete and
exhaustive compilation of all of the actions that fall into this category.
Feroz, Park, and Pastena (1991) examine the first 224 AAERs issued by the SEC. They give a brief
history in their study on AAERs and state (Feroz et al., 1991, p. 109):
that the first 224 AAERs “describe allegations of financial disclosure violations by 188 firms and their
employees including fraud, nonfraudulent but reckless disclosure, and accounting disputes that allege
neither fraud nor recklessness. The number of releases alleging reporting violations exceeds the number
of cited violations because some violations are the subject of multiple releases.”
The findings described in the AAERs are important to regulators and academics. Academics have
outlined how AAERs can be used in auditing courses. Licata, Bremser, and Rollins (1997) examine
AAERs from their inception in 1982 until August 1995 and they select specific AAERs that deal with
SEC actions against auditors. In their Appendix, they identify 60 out of the first 695 AAERs that deal
with (1) the Auditing Profession; (2) Audit Process; (3) Application of the Auditing Process: Transaction
Cycles; and (4) Completing the Audit and Offering Other Services. Licata et al. (1997) provide specific
cases for 7 out of the 60 AAERs, to be used as classroom instructional material.
Academic studies have used the AAERs as data. For example, Dechow, Sloan, and Sweeney (1995) use
AAERs to test the ability of different accrual-based-earnings-management models to detect earnings
management. They use AAERs as their sample of companies that are known to have committed earnings
management. Dechow, Sloan, and Sweeney (1996) look at corporate governance of firms that have
AAERs issued for them. They find that firms manipulate earnings to obtain low-cost external financing.
They also find that AAER companies’ board of directors were composed of a majority of non-
independent board members and were less likely to have an audit committee.
Beasley, Carcello, and Hermanson (1999) compiled a report commissioned by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) that identifies instances of fraudulent
financial reporting that were reported in AAERs between January 1987 and December 1997. Their search
identifies “nearly 300 companies involved in alleged instances of fraudulent financial reporting during the
11 year period” (Beasley et al., 1999, p. 4). The implications of the findings of Beasley et al. (1999)
provided a foundation for portions of the Sarbanes Oxley Act (US House of Representatives, 2002).
