...Audit plan for testing accounts receivables and revenues. Step1 Reconcile and Select specific balances for confirmation (I remember the first step of audit plan is reconciliation, including the teacher’s ) a) Obtain the accounts receivable subsidiary balances (aged by customer, if possible) and trace totals to the comparative summary of accounts receivable balances (GL accounts). Reconcile the total balance to the general ledger control account balance. b) Select a sample of customer balances from the year-end accounts receivable subsidiary ledger. Trace the items to sales order and sales invoice, and meanwhile check the existence of these supporting documents - a key step to find the services and customer created fictitiously by Satyam. c) Examine authorization for any significant adjustments made throughout the year. Step2 Prepare and send confirmation a) Arrange for confirmation requests to be signed by the client and mailed directly by the auditor. Maintain control over the confirmation process at all times. The auditing team relied on Satyam management to send confirmation requests for accounts receivable for 2006 and 2007 audits. b) Second requests and, where warranted, third requests should be mailed when responses to positive confirmation requests have not been received within a reasonable time.

...form of periodization. Unfortunately, most have misused a system in order to peak for a meet. Progressive gradual overload, or Western periodization, is based on a hypothetical goal. So, at any time, the percent of your contest max may be off by as much as 20%. Many times the lifter is missing weights 3 weeks from the contest. This is because their expectations are too high or possibly too low. Training should be calculated by using a formula based on math, not dreams. I suggest everyone read books on periodization by noted authors such as Tudor Bompa or Vladimir Zatsiorsky. These books explain periodization in terms of micro- and mesocycles. After all, periodization is a reference to the division of training into a yearly plan, or even a 4-year plan, i.e., an Olympic cycle. This system is used for weight lifting, powerlifting, and track and field, and of course should be used for all sports requiring the development of power. The former Soviet Union had so much data on training that they did not know what some top coaches were doing. Mel Siff (`!Supertraining`!) asked how I arrived at our 3-week pendulum system. It was quite similar to that used by the great Soviet Union SHW champion Vasily Alexeev. I stated that after 3 weeks we could not become faster or stronger, so we waved back down and started over. Mel said that Alexeev found the same to be true. So with the help of Russian and Bulgarian research and that done at Westside with over 70 Elite powerlifters, plus feedback...

...the students should be properly motivated. This is no means an easy task. The program is also an opportunity. It is probably the principal tool which help us improve education in the present situation when financial resources are so scarce and the need is so urgent. Characteristics of an Institutional Plan Institutional plans are not a charter of additional demands. Their primary objective is to make the best utilization of existing resources and, from this point of view, they emphasize human efforts rather than additional money investment. Institutional plans must be broad-based and democratic. They must involve everyone concerned- the principal, teachers, parents and students. A good educational plan must be known to all- the supervisor, the teacher, and whenever necessary, to parents and students; that it must be able to secure their full cooperation and that it must assign specific responsibilities and duties to each teacher and other school officials. Institutional plans must be practical and realistic rather than utopian or over-ambitious. For educational plans, our motto should be: “not high aim but failure is a crime.” We do not mind how small a plan a teacher prepares. Let somebody say, “I want to improve the handwriting of my children.” What you decide to do is immaterial. But once you decide to do something, we will not accept any excuse for failure. This is what we have to insist upon doing things with dignity, with pride in oneself and with success...
