...improvement and future success of this company moving into the public market. In order to properly perform an assessment of the LBJ Company, there first had to be some set of standards or regulations that outline the internal controls and proper procedures for companies and businesses to adhere to for financial reporting. As it turns out internal control is a key component of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act(FCPA) of 1977 and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act(SOX) of 2002 which required companies to follow this set of internal controls. This list of internal controls is as follows: 1). Conduct its business in an orderly and efficient manner, 2). Safeguard its assets and resources, 3). Deter and defect errors, theft, and fraud, 4). Ensure accuracy and completeness of accounting data, 5). Produce reliable and timely financial and management information, 6).

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Not all people are given the chance to have a quality education especially in the Philippines because it is now complicated. That’s why having the chance to study and choosing the course should not be compared to some thing like for an example buying a dress for a special occasion and when realization comes into your mind that you don’t want it, you’ll return it or maybe get your money back. No, this isn’t right, because in college life, you have to treat every second as an important detail of your life. You should not waste every moment in it. So choosing the course which you think fits your capabilities is very important. Studying a specific course in college is not only about paying the fees rather the most important things here are the time and effort spent. Money, time and effort are the most precious things in one’s life and once it is used or spent, it’s hard to gain again or worst you may never have it at all. So the time these are wasted for nothing, for sure the blame for this mistake will be felt truly. When looking at the profile of those students who are working and at the same time is studying, you would notice that they never dare wasting their time. For them, every second counts. Make an observation and you will find out that almost all of the working students are working too hard to finish their studies. For them, wasting their effort, time and money is such a big mistake.

...such as someone’s vacation hours and stocking merchandise for the store, those tasks should be delegated out to the assistant manager and to the store clerks. Being a supervisor means being in a role of leadership, logic, common sense, and decision making for yourself, the employees, and for the company. The “in Basket” debate and discussion gives us and our fellow classmates the opportunity to see if we can successfully delegate out certain tasks as a supervisor at a fictitious company. The discussion between me and fellow classmates was a great one and it appeared as though everyone agreed on everything accept for different incidents. The only two incidents where I came across disagreement were in regards to task number 3, and task number 4. These are the examples in which I will be using in this paper as far as disagreeing is concerned. Task number 3 is in regards to the mall hours changing for an upcoming holiday and that there is a request for store plans. In my own opinion and the opinion of all of my fellow classmates accept for one that I could find agreed that this task needed to be done by the Supervisor. The disagreeing student felt that it should be delegated to the Assistant Manager. This task should be done by the supervisor because it is not only a very important one...

...Corridors of Transition between 12 Angry Men and 12 “I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice”. Abraham Lincoln “The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom”. Aristotle ”Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck”. Orson Welles Justice = mid-12c., "the exercise of authority in vindication of right by assigning reward or punishment;" also "quality of being fair and just," from Old French justice "justice, legal rights, jurisdiction" (11c.), from Latin iustitia "righteousness, equity," from iustus "upright, just" . The Old French word had widespread senses, including "uprightness, equity, vindication of right, court of justice, judge." The word began to be used in English c.1200 as a title for a judicial officer. Meaning "right order, equity" is late 14c. Justice of the peace first attested early 14c. In the Mercian hymns, Latin iustitia is glossed by Old English rehtwisnisse. To do justice to (someone or something) "render fully and fairly showing due appreciation" is from 1670s. This word, with such a strong connotation, influenced and formed the basis of many philosophical...

...actually available. Calendars are part of determining availability of resources. In MS Project, calendars define the working and non-working time for the project and for each resource assigned to the task. As a change is made to a calendar, MS Project automatically reschedules all tasks affected by the change. Using Calendars There are two types of calendars in Project: base calendars and resource calendars. Base calendars define the working days and working hours for a project or a set of resources. Resource calendars define the working days and working hours for a specific resource. The default base calendar (also known as the project calendar) is called Standard. This standard calendar is usually set as an 8-hour day, 40-hour week, Monday through Friday, with no holidays. However, you can modify this standard calendar, but it is not recommended. MS Project also comes with two other base calendars: a 24-hour calendar and a night shift calendar. You can also create your own base calendars. You can manipulate such options as default start time and hours per day. Note: Resource calendars are updated automatically when the base calendar assigned to the resource changes. But changes to the default calendar options are not automatically displayed in the base calendar. When we first set up this project, MS Project assumed the Standard calendar. As we entered task...

...In week 1, my expectations were to build on what I already knew about the Sarbanes-Oxley Acts from work experience. My expectations were met and even exceeded my expectations. I came into the week with some unanswered questions and after the reading and discussion questions, they were answered. I had a broad understanding of the Sarbanes-Oxley from work experience and never got into the details, which this class allowed me to get into and really grasp what was put into the Acts and how to fully apply the Acts to real experience. Going into the week, I wasn’t really expecting much for budgets but by the end of the week I realized I didn’t know that much about the different kinds of budgets out there. It has helped me in my current positions because we do quite a bit of budgeting for some of our clients. My week 4 expectations were fairly low because of the audits I was a part of during my audit days. I do very little audit work nowadays but it was a great refresher to keep it fresh. Everything that I read during this week I knew and just reaffirmed my knowledge. We would split the audit up and my sections were the sections we covered during this week. When I first started auditing I had no accounting experience, I didn’t have any classes to fall back on. After the reading I felt really comfortable because I was performing the audits right and going into the audits with the right mind set and asking the right...

...Week 4 Case Study Adam Careaga Shorter University BUS 6750 ONLH2 Bill Carson April 5, 2014 Chinese Tires In 2008, the United Sates imported 46 million tires from China, three times as many as it did in 2004. China’s share of the American market leaped from 5 percent to almost 17 percent over the same period, while U.S. employment in the tire industry fell by more than 5,000 jobs and domestic production slumped from 218 million tires to 160 million tires. The Chinese import was causing a market disruption and the U.S. implemented a three year tariff on imported tires. The tariff consisted of a 35 percent tariff for the first year followed by a 30 percent tariff the second year then a 25 percent tariff the final year. The tariffs were place on top of an existing 4 percent import tariff. (Hill, 2011) In the scheme of all the tariffs and arguments over the imports the better question would be who benefitted from this high tariff and who suffered? Tire imports from China show clearly why international economics is different. Consumers should be looking for good-quality products at low prices, but when their purchasing shifts toward more imports of foreign products, it can become a controversial political issue. National government officials have the power to enact policies that can limit international transactions like importing. If the whole world were one country, the issue of shifts in purchasing would be left to the marketplace. Within a country...

...Business and Support Systems NAME American InterContinental University Date Abstract Virtual reality and augmented reality are two different versions of reality. The use of electronic systems caused a flash crash because the systems were not set up to catch things like the selling off futures at a rapidly dropping rate. The productivity of Valero is being measured on a dashboard that has access to current and historical production data. Business and Support Systems Introduction There are different digital realities that are currently available; two of these are augmented reality and virtual reality. A flash crash happened because electronic systems were not programmed to stop the sale of futures if the price dropped. Valero is managing their business using a dashboard to measure the productivity of their refineries. Reality Gets Better Augmented reality and virtual reality use similar technology, however, virtual reality immerses a person into an entirely new reality, while augmented reality enhances the real world reality. In augmented reality, a computer can supply a person with sensations, images and sounds. Digital data is added to the real world, so the virtual reality world is not nearly as exciting as the enhanced real world. Virtual reality immerses the user, and all of their senses, into a digital world that is entirely made up of media. Users of virtual reality generally have to wear a headset that provides them with a way to block out...

We need more who, what, where, when and why there is an issue for the individuals living in a poverty area versus the individuals/families that live in better off areas. Why would it be possible for an individual to be able to receive benefits and they live in areas that are not considered by society as poverty area as those individuals who are struggling to make ends meet in a poverty area not able to receive benefits or their benefits are reduced. The federal government states cannot discriminate and regardless of race, creed, gender everyone is entitled to the same benefits, but everyone needs to first qualify if they meet the gross income standard chart that the government has created as a guide who should and should not qualify for benefits to start, also after the gross income is meant, then they take into consideration, medical cost for disabled, aged individuals, rent/mortgage, utilities as well. Using a survey is a type of interview that is highly structured to obtain unbiased data. The questions are structured in a way to obtain a wide range of data, which saves time and money while obtaining certain information from the public.
