...ETHICAL CONSIDERATION Students Name: Instructors Name: Date Submitted: Introduction A research design defines the entire plan that one selects so as to incorporate the alternate components regarding a certain study in a logical and reasonable way (Vaus, 2006). Consequently, this paper shall try to assess the ethical consideration of research design basing on my opinion in safeguarding the estimation as well as opinions of the survey participants. A survey is a study concerning the uniqueness of a certain defined population through the gathering of information from a sample of people (Journal of glossary statistical terms, 2015).Thus; it is an unethical to disclose any information as well as opinion that a participant in a certain research discloses. In a research design, every participant is entitled to their views, and one should not be judged for stating what they feel like it’s true according to them. Every participant in a research design wants to be assured of their safety when responding to the design research questions. Therefore, in protecting these participants, it is always good to guarantee them that all the information given out will be kept in privacy. The participants will have to sign as well as commit their information with the relevant subject. Thus, this is because should any of the information be leaked...

...University of Phoenix Material Privacy and Security Worksheet Consider this week’s readings and class discussion about privacy and security rules and the storage of records. Write 50- to 100-word answers for each of the following questions based on your readings and class discussion. 1. What is the difference between privacy and security? There is often confusion about the difference between privacy, confidentiality and security. In the context of HIPAA, privacy determines who should have access, what constitutes the patient’s rights to confidentiality, and what constitutes inappropriate access to health records. Confidentiality establishes how the records (or the systems that hold those records) should be protected from inappropriate access. Security is the means by which you ensure privacy and confidentiality. 2. Identify standards established through the Privacy Rule to protect individuals’ health information. The Privacy Rule for the first time creates national standards to protect individuals' medical records and other personal health information. • It gives patients more control over their health information. • It sets boundaries on the use and release of health records. • It establishes appropriate safeguards that health care providers and others must achieve to protect the privacy of health information. • It holds violators accountable, with civil and criminal penalties that can be imposed if they violate patients' privacy...

They also wish to thank and useful suggestions of members of the CriM group, Martin Messner and Juhani Vaivio. We would particularly like to thank Markus Granlund and the two anonymous reviewers for their many helpful comments and suggestions. Both authors thank ‘Fondation HEC’ and ‘Agence Nationale de la Recherche’ for their fundings. Abstract Recent techniques and shifts in the environment are often foreseen as leading management accountants to adopt a business orientation. However, empirical evidence pointing to fundamental shifts in the roles played by management accountants remains relatively scarce. We explore this paradox and give sense to the various roles played by the management accounting function by focusing on how management accountants are involved in and endowed with authority in decision-making situations. Using data we gathered from 73 interviews in ten multinational companies, we identify four styles adopted by the management accounting function: the discrete, the safeguarding, the partner, and the omnipotent management accounting functions. We show that each style can be associated with a specific role: discrete control of managerial behaviour, socialisation of managers, facilitation of decision-making, and centralisation...

...Auditor Independence - Its Importance to the External Auditor's Role in Banking Regulation and Supervision Marianne Ojo Oxford Brookes University - School of Social Sciences and Law; The Institute for Business and Finance Research, LLC; Covenant University January 1, 2006 Abstract: The role of the external auditor in the supervisory process requires standards such as independence, objectivity and integrity to be achieved. Even though the regulator and external auditor perform similar functions, namely the verification of financial statements, they serve particular interests. The regulator works towards safeguarding financial stability and investor interests. On the other hand, the external auditor serves the private interests of the shareholders of a company. The financial audit remains an important aspect of corporate governance that makes management accountable to shareholders for its stewardship of a company. The external auditor may however, have a commercial interest too. The debate surrounding the role of external auditors focuses in particular on auditor independence. A survey by the magazine Financial Director shows that the fees derived from audit clients in terms of non-audit services are significant in comparison with fees generated through auditing. Accounting firms sometimes engage in a practice called low balling whereby they set audit fees at less than the market rate and make up for the deficit by providing non audit services. As a result...

...Internal Audit Chapter 5 Review 1. A business process is the set of connected activities linked with each other for the purpose of achieving an objective or goal. 2. Two general types of business processes are present in most organizations that deliver goods and services: the operating processes and the management and support processes. The operating processes include strategic planning, product and service design and development, marketing, production/delivery, invoicing, and collection. The management and support processes include obtaining and managing the organization’s human resources (this could include hiring, training, benefits), managing financial resources (including budgeting, financial accounting, treasury), managing the information technology resources, managing physical resources (facilities management, security, maintenance, etc.), the organization’s compliance and governance systems, and the process for managing the organization’s external stakeholders (government relations, public relations, etc.). 5. A top-down approach begins at the entity level with the organization’s objectives, and then identifies the key processes critical to the success of each of the organization’s objectives. A bottom-up approach begins by looking at all processes directly at the activity level, and then aggregates the identified processes across the organization. 7. The two common methods used to document processes are process maps and process write-ups. Process...
