...misstatement about the condition of the property. In retrospect, good ethical practice does considers that if there is the faintest question about whether or not to disclose an issue to potential buyers, avoid the potential for liability and tell all. (NOLO) Generally, a seller is responsible for disclosing only information within his/her personal knowledge. (NOLO) So what is a person to do in this case, where Nash was informed about the toxic waste on the property but was instructed by a DAC lawyer that it is not required to disclose? Let’s first consider the facts before a decision is rendered. As mentioned, the Florida law does not require a disclosure. However, I believe there are different factors at hand that may overrule that law. One factor to consider is conducting negotiations under good faith. This rule requires parties to act honestly. During negotiations, Nash provided Fledgling with a copy of the full environment audit report that was conducted 6 months ago. By providing that document, it demonstrated that Nash began the negations under good faith. Fledgling representative also asked Nash “Are there anything I should know about?” This was an open-ended question. The representative didn’t ask if I should know anything now, but basically over all. At the time, Nash was not aware of the toxic waste on the property, so the response was no. But, the minute that Nash was given new information, the facts changed. These facts were created...

...International Journal of Selection and Assessment Volume 17 Number 3 September 2009 Guidelines and Ethical Considerations for Assessment Center Operations1 International Task Force on Assessment Center Guidelines2 This document is an update of several prior editions of guidelines and ethical considerations for assessment center operations dating back to 1975. Each set of guidelines was developed and endorsed by specialists in the research, development, and implementation of assessment centers. The guidelines are a statement of the considerations believed to be most important for all users of the assessment center method. For instance, the use of job-related simulations is a core concept when using the method. Job simulation exercises allow individuals to demonstrate their abilities in situations that are important on the job. As stressed in these guidelines, a procedure should not be represented as an assessment center unless it includes at least one, and usually several, job-related simulations that require the assessee to demonstrate a constructed behavioral response. Other important areas include assessor selection and training, using ‘competencies’ as dimensions to be assessed, validation, participants’ rights, and the incorporation of technology into assessment center programs. The current guidelines discuss a number of considerations in developing and using assessment centers in diverse cultural settings. 1. Purpose staff of an assessment center; and (4) guidance...

The conversations will be recorded and stored in the organization's Private Branch Exchange (PBX) system to where data storage hardware and software requirements will be needed. This document is to outline a Web security life cycle for the organization that will later be compiled as part of the organization's overall security policy by the organization's Senior Security Engineer. Therefore the following categories will serve as the staple of this outline: Application development, QA/testing, deployments, website encryption/key management, data storage/access, systems/devices that interact with the website, 3rd party vendor access, employee web security training, regulatory compliance, emerging laws and regulations for website security. 1. Application development : a. System Analysis: i. Define clearly of the purpose of the software ii. Provide direction for further development iii.

...Project Part 1 ITT Technical Institute Table of Contents Task 1 Page 3 Task 2 Page 6 Task 3 Page 7 References Page 8 Task 1 First World Bank is a savings and loan financial institution that provides services to their customers like loans, credit cards and standard banking services. First World Bank believes that once they can provide their services online they will gain $100,000,000 a year in online credit card transactions. The issue is how to securely provide their services to their customers and how they can provide those services and still save money in doing so. First World Bank will have to comply with federal regulations to be compliant and to avoid fines and sanctions. If the First World Bank fails to safe guard the information that they have stored on their customers and that information is compromised then the First World Bank will lose customers and also their reputation. Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) is one of the federal regulations that the First World Bank needs to be in complaint and stay in compliance with. Gramm-Leach-Bliley is a regulation that requires banks to safe guard customer’s information and to provide how the institution shares customer’s information, what information is collected, who they share the information with, and how they protect it. This information is required to be disclosed to customers in writing, in the written notice the customer will also be advised...

Corporate Social Responsibility, Audit Fees, and Audit Opinions Abstract Using a sample of U.S. firms from 2000-2008, we examine whether and how their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) affects audit fees and the audit opinions. We find that auditors charge lower fees and reduce the propensity to issue going concern qualifications to client firms with superior CSR performance, but increase them for clients with significant CSR concerns. We interpret this finding as suggesting that the auditors use CSR information as an indicator of the client’s...

...1.0 Introduction 1.1 Definition of poverty CHUPICAL SHOLLAH MANUEL Poverty as a phenomenon is very elusive to define and is rather multidimensional and a contested concept whose definition is influenced by the contexts in which it exists. The concept has both a relative an absolute measure. The dominant Western definition since World War II has defined poverty in monetary terms, using levels of income or consumption to measure poverty (Grusky and Kanbur, 2006: 11) and defining the poor by a headcount of those who fall below a given income/consumption level or ‘poverty line’ (Lipton and Ravallion, 1993: 1 in Handley et al., 2009). Multidimensional definitions acknowledge that poverty is also defined by a sense of helplessness, dependence and lack of opportunities, self-confidence and self-respect on the part of the poor. (Narayan et al., 2000). Sen (1999) defines poverty as lack of freedom while another dimension view it as interlinked forms of deprivation in the economic, human, political, sociocultural and protective spheres (OECD, 2006).This essay discusses the issue of poverty in Africa from colonial period to present day. The paper also analyses the causes of poverty since colonial era, the poverty alleviation strategies adopted to deal with poverty and propose possible solutions for poverty alleviation. A plethora of case studies will be drawn from several countries to substantiate the claims and insights provides in this paper. 2.0 Poverty, colonialism and Colonial...

To work in a bank, to acquaint with its working mechanism was always a point of interest for me and God gave me a golden opportunity to complete my internship at UBL, one of the leading bank in Pakistan and well known in world due to its appearance in the international markets. I had a general idea about the banking, but once I practically started the internship in banking field I observed much about banking, I realized the importance and significance of commercial banking for the development of economy. To adjust myself in such a large commercial organization was not an easy task, but by the grace of Almighty Allah aid my internship in a befitting manner and I learned a lo about the overall banking arena.
