...Remote access security policy involves the policies and conditions that are in place that allow users to connect to servers when out of the network. In the case of Richman industries, they are interested in maintaining connections with their users, and sharing app data that is on a server for their day to day operations. In their case, I would have access policy that is based on Explicit Allow policies. This means that the policy grants “Permission” to access the servers remotely if the connection attempt matches the policy conditions. Some of the requirements would include strict control enforced via one-time password authentication or public keys with strong pass-phrases. Also, anyone trying to gain access must not be connected to any other network at the same time, aside from personal home networks under the user's complete control. Further, employees with access must not use email accounts other than the company's standards, so that personal use won't be confused with business. Users must have approved virus control and spyware protection in place on all devices accessing the company network.

...CHAPTER 2 ENRIRONMENTAL INFLUENCE ON ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENT 1 2.1 Introduction In international accounting research, environmental influence is the key to understanding one country’s accounting system. "To a large extent, accounting is a product of its environment. That is, it is shaped by, reflects, and reinforces particular characteristics unique to its national environment" (Radebaugh and Gray 1997).

These criteria tried to explain the reasons for accounting differences between countries; they aimed to describe and compare different systems with each other in an efficient way. There are several advantages to categorize and analyze the differences among countries: First, it promotes improved understanding of the complex realities of accounting practices, as well as the factors that shape a country’s accounting regulations; Second, it provides useful information for solving some of the important accounting problems that exist in the world. For example, it can help policymakers assess the prospects and problems of international harmonization; Third, it can assist in the training of accountants and auditors who operate internationally; And finally, it can enable a developing country to better understand the available and appropriate types of financial...
