...Accounting professionals provide validity, signing off on annual reports, which directly or indirectly play a critical role in establishing and maintaining the confidence of the investors. Unfortunately, we are not learning from our past mistakes. History shows us that after every crisis, e.g the great depression of 1929, economic downturn of 1988, dotcom bubble of 2000, Enron and Worldcom issues, and finally the subprime mortgage crisis, there has been a need to appoint boards which recommended changes mostly pertaining to the accounting areas. Accounting professionals are constrained in providing information from data provided to them. While it is their responsibility to follow Generally Accepted Account Principles (GAAP) accounting standards, they do not have a crystal ball to predict the future, but they should have seen the crisis coming much earlier and played by the ethics rules and standards established by GAAP. Also, there is a caveat in the annual reports which says it is the management teams of entity who are responsible in ensuring integrity of data provided to the accounting professionals. The mortgage subprime crisis was driven by greed at many levels including at the homeowner, broker, lender, banks, and government levels. Accounting professionals should play a role in identifying "the train" and should stop the accident from happening much earlier. Economists, however, are better equipped to do so than the accounting professionals though. They should...

But I’ll tell you this; there is no one I despise more than all of these dense, half-witted, ineffective lawyers trying to minimalize my intellect with their fancy suits and ignorant views on the facts of this event. When they look at me with their pompous, bespectacled faces I know exactly what they’re thinking of me; the greater the genius the greater the asshole. They especially believe that you cannot make a man of business out of a genius, any more than – let’s say – money out of a Jew. Huh, I guess if I said that out loud they would account that as another one of my...

...Confessions of an Asshole Just a heads up, mahaba itong post na ’to. Skip it if you have ADH— oh a puppy, cool. I’ll just get this out of the way, I am an asshole. Ako yung guy na mahilig paglaruan ang emotions ng mga babae. I’ve broken hearts and felt no remorse about it. It’s not like I had a reason to justify it all, either. I did all those for my own ego. Masarap yung sense of achievement pag alam mo na kaya mo pasagutin ang isang tao. Liligawan mo tapos pag alam mo na last push na at sasagutin ka na, bigla ka na lang mawawala. It was all for the thrill of the chase. Walang feelings on my behalf. Alam ko, gago ako. I’ll admit, it was empowering at first. Badass daw pag “player”. Ang laking boost sa ego. But don’t get me wrong; I’m not proud of the things I’ve done, at least not anymore. Something made me realize how heartless I’ve become. That something shattered my image of myself. “I hate you.” Sanay ako marinig yan. Kumbaga parang “Good morning” o “Hello” lang sa akin ang ganyan. Normally, I wouldn’t mind it at all. Pero iba ang impact kapag bestfriend mo for about 8 years ang nagsabi. Yung bestfriend na alam lahat ng kagaguhan mo inside and out, yet still continues to be your best friend. She had just gone through a breakup with her boyfriend of about a year. Turns out na niloloko lang pala siya ng guy. Syempre ako ang takbuhan. I was ready to comfort her (and more than ready to give that guy the beating of his life). What I wasn’t ready for was her resentment...

...In the excerpt of Sarah Schulman’s, Gentrification of the Mind, we see the development of the political groundwork made by the Republican Party that led to the widespread unawareness and ignorance of the AIDS epidemic. According to Schulman, the Republican Party set up a system of gentrified thinking designed to ignore the reality of the epidemic. As a result, in the play, Angels and America, by Tony Kushner, we see an underlying pattern of resentment and anger towards the ruling political class in America due to the Republican Party’s ignorance and mishandling of the AIDS epidemic. However, what is gentrified thinking and how does it relate to the problems of the AIDS epidemic in 1980’s America? According to Schulman, gentrified thinking...

...Anthony Arriaran Acc 205 Professor Yordy 4/17/2015 Liar Liar Jim Carrey stars in a comedic film from 1997 called Liar Liar. In this film, Jim Carrey plays a character named Fletcher Reede who is a lawyer in Los Angeles. Fletcher Reede is faced with a big dilemma when his son Max makes a birthday wish; wishing that his father could not lie for twenty-four hours. Magically, the wish comes true and during the twenty-four hours of not being able to lie there are plenty of legal and ethical issues that Fletcher Reede creates. The first ethical issue that is presented is when Jennifer Tilly meets with Fletcher Reede for the first time. Jennifer Tilly seems to be a gold digger who only wants money out of a divorce with her husband. She makes it very obvious by mistake and does not realize it. Rather than Fletcher Reede choosing to inform her with the correct way to handle this situation with the divorce, he not only encourages it but also blows it way out of proportion making it seem like Jennifer Tilly is the victim. It is extremely unethical to do this because the right thing to do would be to let her know what is morally correct in this situation. Seeing that Jennifer Tilly was clearly not the victim, Fletcher Reede could have avoided acting unethical by being honest with her and letting her know what would be a fair settlement in this situation. It is a lawyer's job to help their client and put their client in the best position possible, however it is required that they...

...Inside the Mind of the Modern American Boss -- New York Ma... http://nymag.com/guides/2007/officelife/30010/# Boss Science The psychopathology of the modern American corporate leader. By Steve Fishman Published Oct 25, 2007 P ossibly, your boss is a truly fine person—wise, kind, perceptive, capable, understanding, the all-seeing director of the office sitcom, the sort of individual one might like to have, in an ideal world, as a parent or a confidant. Or not. In the real world, bosses are known to suffer from a long list of social pathologies: naked aggression, credit hogging, micromanaging, bullying, you (Photo: Superstock) name it. According to one report, 60 to 75 percent of employees—it doesn’t matter the organization—say the worst aspect of their job is their boss. It’s not difficult to believe, as one office expert concludes, that “every employed adult will have to work for a bad boss for some significant period.” In the natural world, there are brutal processes by which, say, one especially vicious bull walrus ends up on the rock, with all the females, while all the others are forced to skulk around the periphery. Dogs, we’re told, inevitably select a leader, who emerges naturally through some mysterious language of dominance rituals, reinforced with tactical urination. Could the same be true, somehow, in the world of work? Is there some law of office life that dictates that jerks rise to the top? In search of an answer, I began to explore the vast...

You must replace good habits with great habits. Bad habits must be replaced with good ones. II. Income—Average income in the United States is $33,000 per year. Maryland has the highest average income in the United States with $35,000 per year. 85% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. And have little to no savings at the age of 65 yrs. Old. 95% of the United States is in the $33,000 per year mark 3X this gap is the is the next step at the $100,000 per year mark. Only 4% of the United states makes $100,000 per year or more. Less than 1% of the United States makes $500,000 per year or more. Do you have what it takes to be in that 1% range? Don’t take advice from people that are in the $33,000 per year mark. They have never made $100,000 so why the fuck would you listen to them on how to be successful. III. Choices A. How do we choose to spend our money? a. It doesn’t matter how much money you are making. It is how you use the money that you make. ie. Someone can be making $35,000 per year and they are able to put aside $5,000 per year towards their savings. Then someone can be making $100,000 per year and they spend every penny they earn. “Learn to invest your money and not spend it.” Barry Dillah Stop spending money and start investing money If the money...

...Gender Specific Profanity Use INTRODUCTION In the course of linguistics there has always been an underlying notion that males have a broader range of profanities in their arsenal opposed to females that have a more narrow knowledge and also that as individuals their of swear words differ in the presence of the same and opposite sex. Rarely are men openly expressive terms such as ‘Slut’ or ‘Bitch’ within conversation with a woman and like-wise woman follow a similar conduct with men, but when they are in a same gendered group this friction is no longer present and the use of swear words in both genders increase. It is within this notion that this survey tries to capture the context that adolescent men and woman use profanities. This assignment uses a variety of acclaimed swear words that are used in modern society in different youthful groups within Melbourne, hopefully identifying a certain culture of ‘do’s and don’ts’ in assimilation to addressing the opposite and same sex. HYPOTHESIS That males with have a greater knowledge in identifying the various swear words presented whereas females will have a more narrow understanding of the words presented. Also, that males will generally use more swear word and in a more frequent manner then females. Also that both woman and men will swear more in a same gendered group then when they are in a mixed gendered group. BACKGROUND Sociolinguistic theory and empirical research gives great detail and insights into gender based usage...

...This is an essay about nothing. I have to write 250 words to be a member to get one lousy answer to a question. Unfortunately I have only written 29 words now. Today my daughter placed 2nd place in a basketball tournament. It was easily the highlight of Thanksgiving break for our family. The other parents were pretty much assholes, yelling at the referees and carrying on like typical bad sports parents. Everyone gets upset because the refs clal their kids for fouls, but that’s how the game is played. When facing a better basketball team, you can’t overcome them with fouls. You must play clean, hard basketball. It is truly necessary for success. Unfortuantely, I am only at 119 words still! Oh my gosh, writing 250 words is way harder than I thought it would be. Right now my daughter is watching youtube videos. I hope they’re appropriate. We just ate dinner, and are sitting as a family watching television. We are also waiting for my father to come visit. We love it when he visits us, because we really think that family is of utmost importance. I’ve almost hit the 200 word mark! Only fifty five more lousy words to type on this new laptop that I bought a few weeks ago. I should be working on my case study right now, but after a break for Thanksgiving, it is proving harder to remember what in the world I am supposed to be doing. I am almost there....

...and negative work environment is too much to handle in some instances and is not healthy for all involved. With this increased employee leave, current employees that remain tend to now work harder. The costs to the company to possible have longer work hours (overtime pay) as well as all the employees getting overworked and sometimes they might in-turn go on stress leave. There is also an increase in costs to the companies that have an employee assistance program as well as disability payments that need to be paid out if an employee goes on a leave. This is all a never ending cycle that just seems to impact the costs to the company dramatically. Confirmed by Robert Sutton in his book The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn’t, the “damage that assholes do to their organizations is seen in the costs of increased turnover, absenteeism, decreased commitment to work and the distraction and impaired individual performance documented in studies of the psychological abuse, bullying and mobbing (Sutton, 36). The negative impacts that workplace bullying has on companies are numerous and one way to combat this issue would be to look at some solutions to offset all of these costs. A company must first admit that the matter of workplace bullying exists and find solutions that can assist them in reducing and abolishing the amount of bullying that takes place on a daily basis. In the initial stages, the company must ensure that there is a clear definition...

...battling depression and losing I began to try to figure out a bit about myself. What was it that made me so sad, lonely and terrified of the world? I cared too much. I had anxiety because I was thinking of whether I would be popular or successful in the future. I was depressed because I didn’t let go of all my mess ups and rejections and awkward moments. I picked at my insecurities, I truly looked inside my soul and found my flaws. That is when it began, that is when I learned to accept myself, and I stopped caring about pleasing everyone. I stopped taking anyone’s rude, or angry remarks to heart. I stopped caring about rejections, I wasn’t afraid of the word “no” anymore. I wasn’t afraid of someone thinking that I am weird, or annoying, or an asshole. I realized that living a happy peaceful life is about your ability to not care about other’s judgments. We all die at the end so why try so hard to fit in. Why relive the awkward conversations you had with your crush and cringe every time. Why cry over those insults thrown at you. Just let it all go, start a fresh new day every day. That’s why I’m here, doing something that I would never imagine myself doing a year ago. Talking in front of a class of peers, all of you judging me, some judgments good, other bad, and I'm glad to say I don’t care. So I urge you all to give this art form a try, live in the present, be at peace and be happy. Thank...
