...on changes to the auditor’s report is an effective improvement, or do you think the current auditor’s report is better? In defending your answer, you should incorporate both the “pros” and “cons” of the current model and the “pros” and “cons” of the IAASB’s proposed model. You may feel free (if you wish) to elaborate on what you think the IAASB should have done, if you believe that the current model should be improved but have a different idea about how this should be accomplished. 2. Consider the different parties involved in the auditor’s report, such as client managers, auditors, investors, and audit committee members. Put yourself in their shoes. How do you think these parties might differ in their views regarding if the IAASB’s model should be adopted or if the current model should stay “as is”? In your answer, please be specific and identify which perspective you think each party would adopt and why they would have this point of view. In the exposure draft of “Reporting on Audited Financial Statements: Proposed New and Revised International Standards on Auditing”, IAASB proposed several revised and new standards. Some of the significant changes proposed in the draft included a new standard, titled “Communicating Key Audit Matters”, which require auditors of the financial statement of listed entities to communicate in the report significant key audit matters selected from the communication with the managements and those charged with governance during the audit...

...reserved to them by the articles of association or the Companies Act 1965. Although they are granted the rights to make decision on the management board and the approval rights in passing directors’ proposals, some shareholders find it inadequate as the current approval rights is a fairly weak tool in controlling agency problem. With wide and in-depth coverage of ongoing corporate tussles, shareholder awareness has improved to the point that shareholders now want to hold management accountable to proper corporate governance. Hence, in this essay, the issue of whether Malaysia should encourage shareholder empowerment to improve corporate governance in companies and thereby attract more foreign direct investment is discussed. To support my arguments three main decision-making power; rules-of the-game, game-ending and scaling-down; as well as the approval rights and proposal rights are discussed. Definition of Shareholder empowerment Shareholder empowerment means the increasing rights given to shareholder to participate in corporate decisions. These rights include the proposal rights and approval rights, which could be classified under the rights to decide. Right to propose emphasize on shareholders right to initiate their proposals to control managerial agency problem whereas right to approve emphasize on the approval of managerial proposal. Similarly, according to Bratton and Wachter, shareholder empowerment...

...Riordan Finance and Accounting Process Improvement Proposal CIS/207 December 04, 2012 Executive Summary Riordan Manufacturing, Inc. is composed of three primary facilities in the United States, with locations in Georgia, Michigan, and California. Headquarters is located in San Jose, California. In addition to the core entities, Riordan Manufacturing has a joint business venture located in Hangzou, China. Investigation into the company’s operating procedures and expenses revealed several shortfalls requiring immediate attention. The implementation of a streamlined Enterprise Resource Plan (ERP) and Electronic Database Interchange (EDI) is expected to reduce operational costs by 10% while improving cycle time by 15%. The finance and accounting departments are struggling with their existing record keeping and database configuration. The resources identified at each facility are made up of disparate and antiquated equipment. Current operations for the consolidated close of the General Ledger are completed, at a minimum, 15-20 days past deadline. Additionally, the current system adds unnecessary administrative costs for personnel re-adding documents that are manually written or not compatible with HQ IT systems. Monthly audits are daunting, costly, and labor intensive. Additionally, there is an immediate need for government compliance to meet the specific demands of that customer base. The entire financial and accounting focus can benefit greatly and exceed current...

...Prinsetta Myers Professor Lawsey Thomas HRM 517: Managing Human Resource Projects May 7, 2013 1. Identify the common roles in a human resource project. Then, analyze these roles to typical human resource functions. Projects are the primary method that organizations use to reach their strategic goals, which involves many people functioning in a variety of roles. These roles can be categorized in three levels: executive, managerial, and associate. At the executive level, the roles are steering team, sponsor, and chief projects officer. The steering team collectively represents all of the major functions of the organization and sets the overall organizational priorities. The sponsor provides the financial resources and has a major stake in the project outcome. Lastly, at the executive level is the chief projects officer, who is responsible for all the people who work on the project. The second level is the managerial level compromised of the functional manger, project manager, facilitator, and customer. The functional manager typically decided who will work on the project. The project manager leads the planning, executing, and closing of the project often investing the most time on the project. A facilitator often has no particular interest in the project but is there to provide focus during project meetings. The customer has three tasks which include prioritizing the project need, carefully selecting a good contractor, and killing the project...

...market research and competitive benchmarking, which was used in creating and submitting contract proposals. During the 1990’s, most companies such as Apple, Nike, McDonalds etc. were substantially dependent on the marketing departments that emphasized on face to face meetings with the customers, and employees pushing their sales numbers to increase revenue and business profits, which is similar to Acorn Industries’ approach of utilizing their marketing division to submit their proposals in order to obtain the government contracts (History: 1990s 2003). As the company was venturing into government contracts pertaining to the weapon systems and other diverse fields, it realized the significance of program management and brought in an individual with extensive knowledge and experience in the field of program management, which proved beneficial while changing the organization philosophy; and restructuring the organization and its various divisions. In order to remain competitive, profitable and maximize the return on investment, Acorn Industries continued the commercial product line which acted as a fail-safe in case of unfruitful government contracts. For example, both Microsoft and Apple have product lines such as phones, music players and other electronics, but continue to gain most of the revenue from their primary product: computers. Introduction of the Project Management Office (PMO) allowed program managers to interact with other project managers, functional managers...

...the Project: Highway 407 improvement Executive summary In 2013, following 3 years of program definition, research and planning, the province of Ontario’s ministry of transportation and infrastructure launched the project to improve the existing highway 407. This highway is the busiest route and convenient to access different parts of Toronto. The proposal of highway 407 was launched in 1959 and opened to the public in June 7 1997. 407 its one of the busiest highway, the total trips in 2010 was 114.691 Million. 407 ETR is the world’s first all-electronic toll road of its kind, and from the day it was opened up to the present day it continues to fulfill its mission of relieving traffic on local highways and roads. The goal of the project “Highway 407 improvement” includes reducing congestion and travel time; improve safety; expanding networks and transportation choice for high occupancy vehicles. Given the cost of the project and other provincial priorities, a key objective was to be self-financing, paid for through ERT system. The present value cost is estimated more than $5 billion, which is calculated over the period of 35 years. Key features of the project include extending the high occupancy vehicles lanes and commercial vehicle priority access. The project will also provide the reintroduction of the public transit to a corridor that has been too crowded to support reliable service for the past few years. The request of proposal was submitted on June 6, 2013...

...Memo To: Senior Management From: Portfolio Management Team Date: September 27, 2011 Re: SBU Proposal Industry Background Ford Motors Corporation was started by Henry Ford. Born in Wayne County, Michigan, in an area that later became Dearborn, on July 30, 1863, Henry Ford was the oldest of six children. In April 1888, Ford married Clara Bryant, a local girl and the foster child of—like Henry—Irish immigrant farmers. In 1893, his only child, Edsel, was born. Success soon came to him as he took a position in 1891 as an engineer at the Edison Illuminating Company and fairly quickly climbed the ranks. With his love for the outdoors and rural values, Ford might have easily remained in agriculture but something even stronger pulled at Ford’s imagination: mechanics, machinery, and understanding how things worked and what new possibilities lay in store. In the 1980’s, he focused particularly on internal combustion engines. Henry Ford called his first vehicle the Quadricycle. It attracted enough financial backing for Ford to leave his engineer position at Edison Illuminating and helped found the Detroit Automobile Company in 1899. The company faltered for a variety of reasons, and in 1901 Ford left to pursue his own work again. Later that year, the Henry Ford Company was born, but Henry Ford himself stayed with it only a few months. He left in early 1902 to devote more time to refining his vehicles. Ford recognized that with the right techniques, cars could be made affordable...

...Proposal for an Integrated Conflict Management System MBA 561: Conflict Management Jones International University September 2012 In Mark 10: 9 (King James Bible Version), Jesus tells us “What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder”. Clearly, the Son of God and beloved Savior informs his chosen believers that God, the Almighty Father, operates through solidity. It is therefore a concern of Gods as to why his house, the church, has become a home divided and confrontational. The writer of this paper intends to explore all possible explanations for such chaos, while offering strategic and accurate concepts for resolution. Proposal for an Integrated Conflict Management System Many names can be used to describe a church; the official house of God, the sanctuary, the place of peace, and my personal favorite, “The spiritual grocery store for the souls needs.” On surface, one would assume that such a place would the grounds for constant peace and unity amongst its administrative staff as well as its members. Oddly enough, despite the communicated perfection of God himself, the church too suffers from many areas of conflict based on the imperfections of those who are involved. With the help of Herman Blanding, head pastor for the Faith with Works ministry, my goal is to passionately explore and accurately assess conflict management within the church, and present the absolute best conclusions to help bring the church to its desired state of unity, obedience...
