...The Sundale Club as a whole is facing multiple issues. Membership is currently dropping; membership in previous years was at capacity with people awaiting membership on the waiting list. Now, management is considering holding a membership drive in order to attract new members to fill vacancies. Most of Sundale’s income is generated by the social activities that members attend, with the drop in membership the income flowing into Sundale is also decreasing. The declining membership must be reversed in order to maintain the business. Another issue effecting Sundale is the amount of stress the employees are experiencing. Some of the stress can be associated to the change in personnel. Changes in the structure of the organization result in new work groups and changes in the way employees interact with one another increasing the stress of employees. (Brown, D., 2011, pg 234) The decision-making within the company is mainly left to Mr. Ellis who does not involve his employees in his decisions. When managers make decisions without input from subordinates, the employees tend to feel that they have little control over their work environment, which creates stress. (Brown, D., 2011, pg 235) Mr. Ellis himself seems to create stress and worry for his employees. The leadership of an organization has a large amount of control over the culture of the organization, if the leaders create an environment that makes the employee uncomfortable this will add to the stress of the job. (Brown...

...Week 8 – Assignment Case Study – 9.1 – Wally’s Billboard & Sign Supply 1. The audit of cash is considered an important part of an audit due to the below reasons: * Almost all business transactions will be ultimately settled through the cash accounts * Cash can be either and asset or a liability * The audit of cash accounts assists in the verification of other asset and liability accounts as well as revenue and expenses * Cash is the highly liquid asset in a company and it is an area of high inherent risk since there is a relatively high risk of misappropriation. * Investors rely on the accuracy of cash in evaluating the company’s financial well being The audit steps for cash are a routine part of an audit, therefore this part is usually assigned to new staff members or interns. However, professional skepticism should be present when reviewing cash or any other part of an audit, whether routine or not. (Hinton, Lecture Notes) 2. It is very important when an auditor develops an audit program to include thorough procedures for auditing cash balances, as it has a direct effect on an organization's profits. The auditor must perform audit procedures of the internal controls of the company to detect any shortcomings. In addition, the auditor will perform substantive tests of details, tests to detect lapping, and analytical procedures in order to verify that there is no material misstatement and to provide evidence to support the assertion...

Hansel takes a slice of bread and leaves a trail of bread crumbs to follow home. However, after they are once again abandoned, the children find that birds have eaten the crumbs and they are lost in the woods. After days of wandering, they follow a beautiful white bird to a clearing in the woods and discover a large cottage built of gingerbread and cakes, with window panes of clear sugar. Hungry and tired, the children begin to eat the rooftop of the candy house, when the door opens and a "very old woman" emerges and lures them inside, with the promise of soft beds and delicious food. They comply, unaware that their hostess is a wicked witch who waylays children to cook and eat them. The next morning, the witch locks Hansel in an iron cage in the garden and forces Gretel into becoming a slave. The witch feeds Hansel regularly to fatten him up, but Hansel cleverly offers a bone he found in the cage (presumably a bone from the witch's previous captive) and the witch feels it, thinking it is his finger. Due to her blindness, she is fooled into thinking Hansel is still too thin to eat. After weeks of this, the witch grows impatient and decides to eat Hansel, "be he fat or lean." She prepares the oven for Hansel, but decides she is hungry enough to eat Gretel, too. She coaxes Gretel to the open the...

...Guardian of the Llano The Doctor, from Doctor Who, is an alien who protects the earth and the occupants on it from alien threats. From the moment Castiel “raised Dean from perdition”, he became the Winchester’s guardian angel in the CW show, Supernatural. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and her gang of “Scoobies” guard and protect the people in the “hellmouth” that is Sunnydale.

...CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Education is the best thing that a parent can give to his or her children aside from love and care that they need. Education is about learning that everything has an explanation to it; it is about longing to find reasons to answer various questions. Education can guide us to enlightenment. It is education that builds in every individual, a confidence to take decisions, to face life and to accept accomplishments and disappointments. Education is very important to the healthy growth and development of a young individual’s personality. It brings experiences on character building, sense of responsibility, knowledge about many things, and it makes one skillful, equipped and prepared to face the challenges that will come his or her way and to make one’s dream come true. It opens doors of brilliant career and opportunities in life. Being in high school is one of the most important endeavors that a child should experience. It may be difficult to adjust to the new changes during the first year because some can be confused and scared but it can also be very exciting to others. However, the students will soon notice that high school life and learning is fun yet complicated. Generally, being responsible students, they should deal with the problems being faced in high school in a positive manner. Public schools handle about thousands of pupils in a year. One of the hardest problems being faced in public school...
