...Assessment 1 – Personal Social Media Audit Student Name: KA CHUN CHEUNG Student Number: S3276462 The 7 days diary recorded the social media and applications I have been used between 17 of March to 23 of March. There are few applications have high frequency that I using that, such as Facebook, Wechat, instagram, whatsapp and weibo. During 7 days period of recording, I discover that every morning after I wake up, I will spend some time on bed to go some social micro blog and network on the bed and the duration usually less that 30minutes. After that, I will use some mobile social apps like chatting tools such wechat, whatsapp during the day when I am free. The frequency that I use chatting tools actually is 24/7 standby, I will try to reply ASAP if I am still awake and not busy at that time, so the duration of use the chatting tools is short but frequency is high.

The strategy is developed to ensure the company will deliver the intended value to those customers through a blend of marketing mix tools. Example of an Integrated Marketing Plan Environmental Analysis Environmental analysis is a vital exercise to complete by any company that will explore and understand the external local, national or international forces that might affect your business. The factors are largely outside the direct control of any company and can sometimes have a negative impact on their plans. Equally this can be very important as it will support the business and marketing strategy allowing the company to take advantage of potential opportunities whilst minimising the potential threats to the company. The Marketing Environment According to Philip Kotler, “A company’s marketing environment consists of the internal factors & forces, which affect the company’s ability to develop & maintain successful...

...Cost Audit Cost Audit in EDP environment When planning the cost audit, the cost auditor should consider an appropriate combination of manual and computer-assisted audit techniques (CAATs). In determining whether to use CAATs, he should take into account: i) His computer knowledge, expertise and experience. ii) Availability of CAATs and suitable computer facilities. iii) Impracticability iv) Effectiveness and efficiency. v) Timing. In an EDP environment, the control procedures take basically two stages: 1. Manual Procedure – i.e. the clerical work done up to the translation of data into machine-sensible form. This stage, being manual, is subjected to usual internal control conditions and the Cost Auditor will have little difficulty in appraising them by means of ‘compliance test’ and ‘substantive’ test’. 2. Computer Procedures – i.e. the computer processing work. Auditing in this area is actually a complex activity, for which the Cost Auditor as a prudent person should develop himself for adequate EDP knowledge. Before the actually starts to conduct his audit in EDP environment he should envisage to maintain an ‘Audit Control File’, as his valuable kit. The Computer Audit control File may be built up containing full details of the system including: i) Copies of all source documents and the details of the checks that have been done to ensure their accuracy. ii) Details of physical control over source documents and any control tools on...

...Types of Audits To distinguish between the types of audits that may be used for each process of Kudler Fine Foods IT Systems, the auditor must first determine which audit is appropriate. There are different audits available for the processes at Kudler Fine Foods; including attestation, findings and recommendations, SAS 70, and SAS 94. The auditor will need to decide which audit is most appropriate for the Accounting Information System and the Retail Enterprise Management System incorporated into Kudler’s Systems. During an attestation audit, the auditor will provide assurance for a specified topic or issue for which the client is responsible. An assertion is made based on specified criteria, and the results are provided in a report. The findings and recommendations audit is used when, “implementing systems, security review, database application review, IT infrastructure and improvements needed engagement, project management, and IT internal audit services” (Hunton, Bryant, & Bagranoff, 2004, p. 217). This type of report does not include the auditor’s opinion, but any information pertaining to the work performed is included. The SAS 70 audit includes information pertaining to a company’s internal controls and is used when services, such as payroll are outsourced to an ADP. An ADP provides payroll services to companies at a lower rate than it would cost if the company were to handle this in-house. An SAS 70 audit is used when companies want to assure that they have implemented...

...AUDITING: A JOURNAL OF PRACTICE & THEORY Vol. 24, No. 1 May 2005 pp. 21ñ35 Recent Changes in the Association between Bankruptcies and Prior Audit Opinions Marshall A. Geiger, K. Raghunandan, and Dasaratha V. Rama SUMMARY: The intense legislative and media scrutiny after a series of high-profile corporate failures, coupled with the paradigm shift in the regulation of the auditing profession brought forth by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, suggests that auditorsí decisions would be more conservative in the period after December 2001. Based on analyses of 226 financially stressed companies that entered bankruptcy during the period from 2000 to 2003, we find that auditors are more likely to issue going-concern modified audit opinions in the period after December 2001. Since the post-December 2001 period coincides with recovery from a recession in the U.S., we also examine prior audit opinions for 93 companies entering bankruptcy in 1991 and 1992. We find that auditors were also more likely to issue prior going-concern modified audit opinions in 2002ñ03 than in the earlier recession recovery period. Following the technique used in Francis and Krishnan (2002), we document that the increase in going-concern modification rates for bankrupt companies after December 2001 is due to changes in auditor reporting decisions and not solely due to differences in client characteristics between the time periods studied. Keywords: bankruptcy; going-concern reports. Data Availability: Contact the authors...

...Internal auditing covers a broad range of areas that includes a lot of regulation. Even more focus is on information technology. “As the demands of traditional audits responsibilities and the growing burden of information security evolve, the industry is beginning to see emerging trends in internal auditing departments across many organizations” (Hirth, 2012). Information technology controls continue to increase in importance to today’s organizations as reliance on technology and compliance requirements increase. Deficiencies in information technology controls can have a significant impact on the organization. According to a 2011 presentation by public accounting firm Deloitte & Touche, the following are some of the top emerging information technology emerging issues. Social networking and social media technologies is expanding into new areas, including user communities, business collaboration, and commerce. The risks in this area include brand protection, unauthorized access to confidential data, and regulatory or legal violations. Historical audits are not sufficient to determine risks in this area as the medium is constantly changing. The audit plans should be updated every year based on a review of social media usage within the company with an eye on emerging risks. Mobile devices, including cell phones and tablets have become common workplace tools. These devices do not maintain the same level of data security as the organizations stationary network.
