...Martini Drive 1990 Hull S90 LM0 England 13 March 2013 PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Syed Muhammad Abbas Ali Press officer of Acme (0044) 25676949 syed_acme@press.com Acme brewery is the hope of Hull The city Hull is known for its many social problems and the town brewery is known for its lack of order fulfilments. That’s why the new owners of Acme are going to improve the city. HULL, MARCH 2013 --- The people of Hull are celebrating, because of the rapid expansion of the Acme brewery. The city has gotten a new voice since the American company US Beverages bought Acme. It is the new owners hope, that the company’s products will go overseas to other markets. The company has moved its premises, from a docks area to a greenfield site. This makes it possible for the company to expand its limits. There are also more job opportunities than before, which will benefit the people of Hull. There used to be a lot of social problems in the city and people had no control over their lives. Therefore the Mayor decided to sell the brewery in hope of it becoming Hull’s rescue. The Mayor of Hull says: “ If the city had continued like this, people would have moved to other places. But because of US Beverages, who made Acme a bigger name than it was a year ago, we have a future. The people will have more opportunities and these will help our city in the long run. This is all possible because of the new Acme brewery.” ---------------------------------------------...

They went on some great tours in the historical and cultural city, and have just arrived home this Sunday. “In co-operation with the students, we have chosen to go to Krakow.

...Memorandum To: Head of Financial and Internal Control From: Group Learning Team A Date: 10/13/2014 Re: Challenges Communicating Accounting Changes The issuance of SAS No. 112 in 2006 and SAS No. 115 in 2009 by the AICPA created the need to communicate significant audit procedure changes to our clients, as well as to our own firm accountants. SAS No. 115 supersedes SAS No. 112. Due to SAS No. 115, significant changes need to take place in order to comply with the new accounting principles. Specifically, internal company controls have become a major focus of the standard audit procedures. Each of the three groups experienced certain challenges regarding the requirements of the new directive. Specifically: 1- Firm Accountants - The new audit requirements has compelled our audit staff to redesign our traditional procedures on issues outside the financial statements. Our staff maintains a high competency regarding the financial statements themselves, but the requirement to review company financial controls and procedures has significantly changes and requires us to reinforce our staff training as many of the younger staff are confused. The younger staff has little experience with how companies run operationally, and they are now being required to judge the quality of these operations. A series of training regarding best practice financial controls is recommended to bolster the staff's ability to complete the audits per the new directive. 2- Clients - The new...
