...Understand the role and responsibilities of key personnel In this piece of work I will be identifying the roles and responsibilities of key personnel in a business, while doing this I will also gain and understanding of these roles and responsibilities. There are key personnel in a business and they all have different roles and responsibilities in that business. Individuals in a business can hold any number of roles or responsibilities. While having a particular role it is their responsibility to make sure that while in that role everything is safe. Most businesses have clearly defined controls that specify what each job role is responsible for. Systems administrator— a system administrator is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the LAN. Although small organizations might have only one systems administrator, larger organizations have many. Systems analyst— Systems analysts are involved in the system development lifecycle process. They are responsible for determining the needs of users and developing requirements and specifications for the design of needed software programs. Segregations of Duties: Job titles can be confusing because different organizations sometimes use different titles for various positions. It helps when the title matches the actual job duties the employee performs. Some roles and functions are just not compatible. Segregation of duties usually falls into four areas of control: Authorization: This is verifying cash and approving purchases Custody:...

...the company are identified below: Several major legal issues exist (University of Phoenix, 2002), brought on by C-S’s declaration that they require the immediate transfer of all unfinished code, their decision to rescind the contract, and the possibility that they have hired another IT firm to complete the project. This event raises several issues including intellectual property rights, changes to the end-user system and functional requirements, quality of deliverables, and timeline requirements. Assessment of the risks has identified several legal principles that either work against, or in favor of Span Systems, and are important to note for risk management as well as for defense going forward. The first legal principle is the minor breach of contract under substantial performance of contract. C-S claims that Span Systems deliverables in...

...created. I must speak to someone now about what I have discovered and to address SGT Day’s response to what has happened. I would be wondering what else may have been disregarded by SGT Day. 2. Employ applicable laws and regulations. Since I am now in a new unit I would check the SOP regarding proper disposal of classified documents and the reporting protocol for breach of security violations regarding the this type of incident. 3. Reflect on the ethical values and their ramifications. I must take into account first the Army values and how they apply in this situation. The first value that I think of is “Integrity”- Do what is right legally and morally. I have to follow SOP for this incident and not let the fact that SFC Sharp is revered by his peers and what effect this will have on me for following through with doing what is right. “Duty”, I am bound by oath to fulfill my obligations and hold true to the Warrior Ethos, I have the duty to ensure this incident is reported regardless of who is involved. “Respect” SFC Sharp will be treated in a non judgmental way by me as it’s only for me to follow SOP and report this incident. SFC Sharp is to receive an award in the evening and I will not do anything to prevent the presentation of such award. “Loyalty” I will bear true faith to my unit by not accepting SGT Day’s “sweep it under the rug approach” when it comes to SFC Sharp’s mishandling of the secret material. This brings into question SGT Day’s loyalty for his unit. “Courage”...

...Confidentiality, Privilege, Reporting, and the Duty to Warn. It gave a clear picture of how these things, though they may sound similar are quite different in many ways. The first case was about a young boy was taken to the hospital by his foster parents. He was unconscious with bruises down the spine of his back and a bruise under his eye. When the nurse questioned her about it she stated that it was from being jostled in his car seat. The nurse did not make any note of that observation nor did she call CPS to report possible abuse as she believed what she was told by the foster mother. Dominic was then brought back to the hospital four days later suffering from head trauma and then died. Nurse Brown was being charged with a crime for failure to report the abuse. It is noted that health care professionals are mandated to report suspected child abuse or they could be charged with a crime. Nurse Brown defended her position by saying that the stature that requires healthcare professionals to report suspected child abuse was unconstitutionally void for vagueness. In this case the trial judge dismissed the charges against the nurse stating that it was too vague,...

...| The significant influence of intelligence and information on law enforcement | | Question 1 Origin of Intelligence and Information Introduction Like the map which can t be concluded as the as the terrain, the fact is there is a difference of dimensions between the information and intelligence. Information comprises of two dimensions, it can be shaped as the intelligence when you add a third dimension like politics or ethics. The acquisition of knowledge or observation is only limited within the context of information and when you run the hypothesis and it’s proved to be valid information then it has become the intelligence. Intelligence involves the range of activities after considering the information and doing analysis to take further reactions, which are proceeded in secrecy and aimed towards the national security. The information involves, the warning related to the threats to national security and timely decisions are taken towards it. The resulting actions are taken in the preceding s of information concerning the hostile scenarios and promising operations. The context of intelligence has shaped throughout the time span, from the beginning of its origination. The brief application of intelligence is divided into three basic timelines. The past, present and the future; which we hold with the intelligence. The past comprises of tangible and intangible form of intelligence, after being inconsequence for a long time it developed a shape of intangible or verbal...

...also gives a more vivid picture of how the above mentioned things, though looking similar, are quite different in a myriad of ways. The very first case to be looked into was of a young boy who was taken to hospital by his foster parents. His conditions were not good at all for he had bruises on his spine and another bruise slightly below his eye. The nurse happened to questioned her about the same. She said it was as a result of being jostled in seat in the car. The nurse kind of didn’t make any note of this observation. Moreover, she happened to fail to call CPS to report the possible abuse for she was much in agreement of what the foster mother told her. Four days later, Dominic was for the second time brought to the hospital. This time, he suffered from head trauma. Unfortunately, he passed on. The nurse, was in hot soup. She was accused of failing to report Dominic’s abuse. The nurse might have ignored the clause that gives health professionals the mandate to report any...

This situation led to an important modification in the working of U.N. U.S.A with the support of France and the United kingdom was determined to have the United Nations provided with additional machinery handle such a situation. it was introduced in the assumption by USA that in future that in the Soviet Union veto in the security council would surely block any action similar to that taken in korea. Thus soon the UNITED FOR PEACE RESOLUTION was adopted by the general assembly. The resolution had 5 main provision: a) if during any case where there appear to be a threat to peace, breach of the peace or act of aggression, the security council, because of lack of unanimity among the permanent members, fails to exercise its primarily responsibility for maintenance of international peace and security then general assembly shall considered the matter immediately.In case any situation for uniting for peace resolution arises when the general assembly is not in...

...Lab Research Report 1: Procedures in the Physical Sciences Ertugrul Alsan Dr. Zahra Paraste Panah 05/05/2013 . SCI110 1. Astronomers use indirect methods to measure stellar distances. While triangulation and observation of parallax can be used for nearby stars, these methods fail for very distant galaxies and star systems. For these, astronomers use Cepheid variables – stars that change their luminosity in a known manner over precisely calculated intervals. If one Cepheid whose distance is known appears brighter than another whose distance is to be calculates, then the apparent magnitude and period of oscillation of the dimmer object can be used to calculate its distance relative to the brighter Cepheid (Freedman and Kaufmann, 2008, p. 638). In physics, mass of neutrinos is estimated indirectly through the phenomenon of neutrino oscillation. These particles are of three types – electron, muon and tau neutrinos – and they interchange (oscillate) between different types with mathematically defined probabilities. The mixture of neutrino types in a set of observations can be used to estimate upper and lower bounds on their mass values (Escrihulea, Tortola and Valle, 2011, p. 1). In chemistry lattice formation enthalpy is measured indirectly through the Born-Haber cycle. This is a stepwise calculation method in which a series of enthalpy changes is used to derive the final value. The lattice formation energy is deduced from the values of enthalpy...

...The Loud Speaker Campaign Tactics BUS405 The Labor Relations Process July 30, 2011 Abstract This paper is focus on the Loud Speaker Tactics. Acoustical Enterprises makes commercial audio soundproofing material at a company in Echo, South Dakota.

The Board has petition a cross-application for implementation of its charge. Learning that the Board abused its freedom of choice in confirm the Union as the private bargaining spokesperson of Acoustic personnel’s. The Employer acknowledges refusing to bargain but argued that the Union had been incorrectly certified, and therefore no legal duty to bargain could be imposed (Holley, 2010).
