The Kennedy half-century: the presidency, assassination, and lasting legacy of John F. Kennedy. New York: Bloomsbury USA, 2013. The excerpt from the first book concentrates on giving an overall view of JFK's life from start to finish including his school years (childhood and early career). Most of this information exhibited why JFK became The President he is known to be. I plan to use this to give background depth on his life prior to his actual Presidency. The boook The Kennedy Mystique will be used to address how JFK often manipuated the media to establish his and his familes name and the mythical lure that went a long with it. I would particularly like to utilize this book for its inside look that it gives into JFK's private affairs that were the primary purpose for the creation of Camelot. I also plan to use The End of Camelot book, because although long and very detail oriented it gives a superb look into JFK's Presidency thorugh personal accounts of his own and others and also through recollection's of those who studied and witnessed his Presidental and personal life. The Kennedy half-century is vitally important for me too use because the book explores...

...Every President the United States has all had their own issues when they’re serving their term, but 2 in particular stand out. Franklin D Roosevelt had the country looking to him for direction right away after being felt threatened from the Pearl Harbor attack. His decision could teater which way the United States would go. Also John F. Kennedy had a crisis of his own. His term took place during the Cold War. He too had a crucial choice to make of whether to use nuclear weapons that could potentially destroy the world or some other strategy to win the war. With all this going on both of them made impactive and widely interpreted speeches. The 2 campaigns were brought up with have the same general background. They both based their decisions...

...From the handouts, Ben Hill is the possible perpetrator I suspect most. The clue to make this conclusion is that he’s “all over” the TBC’s work. My following analysis is based on the fraud triangle. As regards to opportunity, Ben is the office manager and he has multiple authorities over the company’s operations including transaction verification and cash handling. It’s easy for him to perpetrate a fraud. The most obvious opportunity for him to commit a fraud is in purchasing equipment. Because Ben recently changed a vendor to Charlie Thurgood, who has a close relationship with him, it’s suspicious that they may collude with each other. When purchasing the equipment, Ben has access to the purchasing order which is “open”. He can possibly change the ordered quantity and ask Charlie to change the invoices which Charlie will personally drop with Michelle. It’s Ben who is the only person authorizes the purchase as well as the payment. There is no segregation of duties in this purchasing process. Besides Ben is the person responsible for hiring temporary employees and verifying the timesheet and checking. It’s also easy for him to add more employees who actually don’t exist. Moreover, Ben verifies the ticket log and keeps the money overnight. There is a chance for him to steal money from it too. The pressure making him to plot fraudulent schemes may come from his family background which shows he has “a bunch of ex-wives.” There is a possibility he needs to get money to afford the...

...encountered a dramatic opportunity, a new network printer management product. Jim Sole, the new president of this growing Boston-area company, is currently looking for somebody to take the position of a leader for the new product division. So he engaged a headhunter that gave him some propositions of possible candidates. When searching for an appropriate candidate Jim is looking for specific traits. His policy is to seek internal sources of candidates to promote. However, this is a very specific case since the company is entering the market with a new product. Jim will have to recruit someone from outside in order to provide some insights about the selling channels. Therefore, one of the major requirements for the candidate is to have experience with networking products and understand Value Added Resellers (VARs) business. Any customer of VARs is a potential customer for Bitstream. Since this new product has a prospect value of $100-million in a very few years, there are more than just a handful of requirements for the position. Personality traits such as leading skills, flexibility and intellectual curiosity are critical for the job. On the other hand, Jim considered that a specific amount of experience is not so important because a smart person can learn how to do the job. For Jim, the suited person for the job will have marketing skills, be energetic and enthusiastic. The president knows that they have to speed into the market and that is why he is looking for a seasoned professional...

...and the ultimate victor, was Prime Minister Nicéphore Soglo. Supporters of Soglo also secured a majority in the National Assembly.[4] Benin was thus the first African country to effect successfully the transition from dictatorship to a pluralistic political system.[5] In the second round of National Assembly elections held in March 1995, Soglo's political vehicle, the Parti de la Renaissance du Benin, was the largest single party but lacked an overall majority. The success of a party formed by supporters of ex-president Kérékou, who had officially retired from active politics, allowed him to stand successfully at both the 1996 and 2001 presidential elections.[4] During the 2001 elections, however, alleged irregularities and dubious practices led to a boycott of the run-off poll by the main opposition candidates. The four top-ranking contenders following the first round presidential elections were Mathieu Kérékou (incumbent) 45.4%, Nicephore Soglo (former president) 27.1%, Adrien Houngbédji (National Assembly Speaker) 12.6%, and Bruno Amoussou (Minister of State) 8.6%. The second round balloting, originally scheduled for March 18, 2001, was postponed for days because both Soglo and Houngbedji...

...Internal Control: Case Study 2 1. Inform the President of any new internal control requirements if the company decides to go public. (7 points) According to the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, all publicly traded U.S. corporations are required to maintain an adequate system of internal control at all time. As LJB Company President, you should be aware that a control environment must be presented at all times, and “that unethical activity will not be tolerated.” Your companies must identify and analyze the various factors that could create risk for your business and how your team can manage those risks. The overall internal control system needs to show and communicate all appropriate information within the organization, to ensure that the communicated information has reached the organization. According to the textbook, “It is very important to have testing and auditing of controls to build a long lasting organization. 2. Advise the President of what the company is doing right (they are doing some things well) and also recommend to the President whether or not they should buy the indelible ink machine. When you advise the President, please be sure to reference the applicable internal control principle that applies. (13 points) Its good that this company has been doing well with creating a balance environment for employees due to the long-term employees that are currently there. I can see that the managers and employees have a great balance, which keeps good control within the...

...Egyptian Uprising of 2011 Things will never be the same in Egypt due to the Egyptian revolution that has been ongoing since January of 2011. The uprising began in Cairo and many other cities followed, eventually causing the president to resign from office. I am going to tell a little bit about the revolution and what it has meant to me. The Egyptian revolution began in early January 2011 by activist revolting against the president of Egypt calling for the end of poverty, unemployment, government corruption and requesting the end of the presidents ruling. On January 25th, a national holiday in Egypt, the activist took to the streets to calling it a day of rage. From there on out for about a month there was brutal ongoing fights, with many people losing their lives. During this time, the city of Cairo was considered a war zone. During this uprising, over 800 people died and more than 6,000 people were injured. It makes me sad that there were so many people that had died just for speaking up and expressing their selves. As a child, you are taught to express what you feel and think, showing people what you are made of and what you represent. With that being your family, your religion, your rights and freedom of speech. The Egyptians, similar to us, used social media to share to the world what was happening in their desperate lives. The main difference I felt was that when they tried to use freedom of speech they were punished. I have learned that I am very lucky...

...the points or may come up with others, but these are the primary ones. a. Identify the ethical issue(s). There are two ethical issues: 1. Whether to issue an unqualified opinion based on the evidence already obtained, disclaim an opinion, or follow up on the information provided by the chairperson of the board, knowing that the client may not pay for the additional audit time spent. 2. What to tell the second client. Providing confidential information will violate the Code of professional conduct but if it is not provided, the second client may purchase Hi-Sail, which could be a bad investment, and the auditor might lose the second client. The parties are affected and their rights are 1. Management, including the president and controller, have the right to have the audit completed on a timely and cost-effective basis and to a proper consideration of their claims. 2. The board of directors, including the chairperson, have the right to insist that the financial statements be fairly presented by management and on a timely and effective audit. The chairperson has a right to be heard and to have the auditor obtain evidence to support or contradict his claims. 3. Current and prospective creditors and investors, including the second client and any other prospective purchaser of Hi-Sail, have the right to receive fairly presented financial statements on a timely basis and to an unbiased opinion on those statements. 4.

...Statement of Purpose for the position of ShARE P Knowledge sharing and dissemination is one of the things I am most passionate about. So much so, that I had got admission to the doctoral programs at IIMB and IIMC and was planning to become a professor in the future. ShARE is one such platform and being the President here would provide me with an opportunity to enable the knowledge sharing process and to build ShARE brand at IIM Indore. I believe that my reading habit, three years of work experience and the positions I have held in the past have endowed me with intellectual and managerial abilities necessary to manage an organization like ShARE well. I have led various student bodies in varying capacities in the past - General Secretary of NITK Students’ Union, Financial Coordinator of SPICMACAY Mangalore Chapter, and Convener of NITK 2009 Yearbook committee to name a few. I was also the only person in my batch to be elected to the NITK Students’ Union three years in a row, which is a testimony to my ability to elicit trust among my colleagues. Having worked in the analytics consulting industry for three years, I am quite good at making structured presentations and quantitative analysis. The job also gave me some exposure to Pharma and Retail sectors. I was rated among the top analysts at both my previous companies (Mu Sigma, Tesco) and was also appreciated for conducting excel training workshops, mentoring new hires and handling client communication well. I also read a lot...

...Case Title: Austin Wood Products The Role of the responder: Dave Pope, the plant Manager. Objective: The purpose of this report is to review Dave Pope’s concern about the company’s lumber stockroom operations. The stockroom situation was interfering with the productivity. To add with this, the President announced that the production levels would increase by 20% during the next month. Our objective is to fix this stockroom problem so that Dave would be able to meet the President’s demand of increase in productivity. Key Issues: * Stockroom operations. The company’s lumber stockroom operation was a big concern. There was in no way to know what was available before you get to the storage area. Because of that the metric was only a 50% chance of obtaining the needed lumber for the job. The stockroom situation was also interfering with the inventory. * Organizational structure. The company’s organizational structure was another issue. The company was organized in an old way and needs to be reorganized for better performance. * Maintaining Inventory records and changing demands. AWP did not have any formal inventory management system in place to maintain raw materials and finished goods. The inventory count is done manually and takes two days. They were completely not maintaining any inventory record whatsoever. The nature of demand also was difficult to predict as it varied from one year to the next. The metric was that the inventory turnover which relates inventory levels...

...Both allegations are based on email exchanges, which many observers say are dubious evidence that won’t hold up in court. Both BP and Barclays say that they will fight the accusations. Regardless of the outcome, regulators have become aggressive market monitors. That atmosphere is one reason why traditional regulated utilities got out of the “trading” game. To be clear, those power companies have always “marketed” their physical assets. That is, if they own electric generation and they have fulfilled the needs of their local populations, then they try to sell their excess electrons where they can fetch the most money. Or, conversely, companies in the market to buy electricity, can shop for generators to supply their needs for the least money. Speculative trading, however, is a different matter. That is, those local utility companies have opted to stop making financial bets, or trying to hugely profit from price volatility. The ones on the trading field now, says Reames, are the large European utilities that are making investments in the North American market: E.ON and Electricite de France, as well as some of the major oil producers and the mega-banks. E.ON, for example, will get going by year-end on the power side and in early 2014 on the gas side, from Chicago. “Nearly all U.S. utilities have decided to get out of that arena,” adds Bob Bellemare, chief operating officer of the Mykrobel, a consulting firm. “They are sticking to their knitting and managing physical...
