B 9.A 10.B Case 1 I would suggest Mr. Eatough report the fraud activities to the board for the following reasoning: According to the Code of Ethics, Mr. Eatough is required to engage with integrity while performing internal auditing for the company. The principle of integrity, specifically the Rules of Conduct associated with the principle state that internal auditors “shall perform their work with honesty, diligence, and responsibility” (1.1) . That is to say, Mr. Eatough is held highly responsible and hence must exercise due diligence while performing internal auditing tasks. As the internal auditor chief, Mr. Eatough has the responsibility to report any fraud to the board or higher level management. Furthermore, Standard 1130 states that “the CAE must disclose the details of the impairment to approriate parties” (p2-16), hence Mr.Eatough is required to disclose the fraud under the Standards.

All these in turn have an effect on the level of patient care staff provide since staff attitudes and team-working do influence this. A profession can be described as ‘A vocation...esp. one requiring advanced knowledge or training’ (p2386, Brown, 1993, vol 2), linked to this is the definition of professionalism which is ‘The body of qualities or features, as competence, skill, etc., characteristic of a profession or professional’ (p2368, Brown, 1993, vol 2).

...business and project contexts. This article evaluates the benefit of PMMs based on their traits and characteristics and investigates PMMs in their operational context: where PMMs come from and how they support practitioners. The findings suggest a misalignment between the intended benefit of PMMs at the strategic level and the reported benefits by project managers at the project level. Additionally, it is shown that practitioners’ expertise, accountability, and attitudes all have a direct influence on the extent to which PMMs contribute to and benefit the management of projects. report from former UK Health Secretary Andrew Lansley captured the attention of many by highlighting that “Labour’s IT programme let down the NHS [National Health Service] and wasted taxpayers’ money by imposing a top-down IT system on the local NHS, which didn’t fit their needs” (BBC News, 2011). This report highlighted significant issues associated with IT/IS project delivery. Successful delivery of projects is essential to the effective functioning of government and has a direct bearing on departments’ abilities to improve public services (Improving Government Risk Handling, 2009). Despite this central role of IT/IS projects within organizations, the high cost and failure rate continue to engage...

...achievement of organisational purposes. Staff must make a valued contribution to the work of the organisation. Eventually they will leave, more often than not because they find alternative employment or retire. Occasionally, however, employment has to be terminated. This unit considers how human resource management deals with these aspects of working. However, the focus of human resource management has moved beyond personnel management towards a more proactive approach that, in addition to the traditional roles associated with staff management, also considers how to get the best people and the best out of people so that they work in roles and ways that are closely aligned to organisational objectives. This often leads to the assertion by many senior managers that ‗Our employees are our most valuable resource‘. Human resource management takes place against a background of organisational needs, policies and procedures that are themselves shaped...

...Unit 1: The business environment Help sheet 1.1.1 P1 Describe the type of business, purpose and ownership of two contrasting businesses To achieve P1, you must complete Task sheet 1.1.1, a case study, as well as Worksheets 1.1.1 to 1.1.4. You must also write a detailed presentation about two organisations. • You must ensure that the two organisations chosen are very different. For example, a large plc, such as Tesco, and a charity, such as Save the Children. This will make it easier to compare the environments. • It is a good idea to choose organisations that you are interested in, but that also have a large amount of information available. Therefore, spend some time researching a few organisations that might be of interest to see which one will make this task the easiest. • The same organisations will be used for tasks other than P1 so look ahead in the assignment to make sure the information you will need is available. • Once you have chosen your organisations, you need to research them in order to be able to identify the type of businesses they are. You must identify which scale they operate at and what sector they operate in. Make sure you give evidence and reasoning to back up your decisions. • The purpose and ownership of a business can often be seen on its website. However, you may find a phone interview very useful for collecting all the information you need. This can then be used as evidence. Remember to reference your work when necessary. ...

Review the mandated requirements for legal compliance (from chapter 4) and determine which requirements apply to the Arthur Andersen case. Explain your rationale After re-reading Chapter 4 there are five areas that separate the mandated requirements for legal compliance, and I feel the that two apply to the Arthur Andersen case; the protection of consumers, and incentives to encourage organizational compliance programs. In the laws that protect consumers they require businesses to provide accurate information protecting them from financial scams, unfair, fraudulent, or deceptive practices. There are “Gatekeepers” that are in charge of that such as lawyers, financial rating agencies, and financial reporting services that help enforce high ethical standards. This...
