The transaction objects and the sources carry transaction information into the rules defined for each component of an entry. These components, i.e. journal line type, account derivation rule, and journal entry descriptions are grouped together as a journal line definition (JLD) for a particular event. For example, you can set up a JLD for an invoice validation event, another for payment creation, and another for payment clearing. The set of rules for a particular subledger application is called the application accounting definition (AAD). The set of AADs for multiple applications is called the subledger accounting method. You can maintain multiple accounting methods. You can set up as many components as you like and use them for different accounting methods. You can set up an accounting method that creates entries in compliance with US GAAP, and another one that complies with IFRS. These two methods could share components, such as entry descriptions, because the journal entry components are modular. The accounting methods are then assigned to each ledger, which...

Introduction We believe that to truly understand the whole point of this question, one must first take a step back to try and understand exactly what is a MNC and how do MNC’s impact us. Furthermore, once we understand the whole point regarding the term “MNC” can we understand the full extent and scope of our topic. Now, to understand exactly what is a MNC, A MNC or ’ Multinational Corporation’ in simple terms refers to a large corporation which both produces & sell goods or services to various countries. Though this is a very brief and simple description of this term, it is an accurate one never the less, because as the name suggests it is a corporation which conducts business in different countries at the same time. 1.1 Background According to historical reports and literature the first traits of an MNC like organization...

...which in turn will increase the length of hospital stay, total costs of care and risk of mortality (Hatler, Buckwald, Salas-Allison & Murphy-Taylor, 2009). The lack of use in consistent protocols for central venous access devices accrue an approximately 250,000 bloodstream infections in U.S hospitals yearly (Hatler et al., 2009). An estimated 90,000 deaths a year result from these bloodstream infections associated with intravascular catheters (Hatler et al., 2009). The health care system averages $25,000 to $40,000 per incidence (Mathers, 2011). The identification of proper and/or improper practice and application of evidence-based practice protocols is essential to keeping catheter patency and prevention of infections. Definition of Topic Stated by the authors of Evidence-based Practice to Reduce Central Line Infections, “a catheter related blood stream infection is defined as a positive blood culture with clinical or microbiologic evidence that strongly implicates the catheter as the source of infection” (Render et al., 2006, p. 254). What, besides what we already are taught to perform, can be further done to reduce the percentage of blood stream infection in central venous catheters and access devices? Existing practices used for infection control of central line placement include maximal barrier precautions, which consists of strict compliance with hand hygiene, wearing a cap, mask, sterile gown, and...

...Ending Homelessness among Veterans through Housing Programs Services Mary R. Flores Southeastern University Introduction Homeless veterans have consistently existed in the United States. However, just after the Afghanistan and Iraq war, the issue has become more noticeable in the news. The National Health Care for Homeless Council defines homelessness as the absence of a normal and adequate night-time place of residence. According to the ‘National Alliance to End Homelessness’ program, 49,933 of veterans and their families are currently living without having their basic needs met (National Alliance to End Homelessness, 2015). To know whether veterans participating in the Housing First program with the Housing and Urban Department-Veterans Affairs Supported Housing (HUD-VASH) receive housing services more rapidly and keep up long term housing stability, it must be compared to the Veterans in Treatment As Usual (TAU) approach to HUD-VASH. Connection to housing service programs is critical to veteran’s successful re-integration to society after deployment. This is exemplified by the success of Housing First (HF) and the different outcome of veterans who use similar program such as Treatment As Usual (TAU). The HUD-VASH program first started in 1992 as a teamwork effort between the Veterans Affair (VA) and the HUD. HUD provides housing to homeless veterans through a resident-based program named ‘Section 8 vouchers’, while the VA provides supportive services. ‘Section...

...COGNITIVE ORGANIZATION AND IDENTITY MAINTENANCE IN MULTICULTURAL TEAMS A Discourse Analysis of Decision-Making Meetings Jolanta Aritz Robyn C. Walker University of Southern California Measuring culture is a central issue in international management research and has been traditionally accomplished using indices of cultural values. Although a number of researchers have attempted to identify measures to account for the core elements of culture, there is no consensus on those measures. This article uses an alternative method—discourse analysis—to observe what actually occurs in terms of communication practices in intercultural decision-making meetings, specifically those involving U.S.-born native English speakers and participants from East Asian countries. Previous discourse studies in this area suggest that differences in communication practices may be attributed to power differentials or language competence. Our findings suggest that the conversation style differences we observed might be attributed to intergroup identity issues instead. Keywords: intercultural communication; intercultural communication; group communication; discourse analysis; intercultural management; group decision making; communication accommodation theory In an increasingly global economy, multicultural work teams are becoming more commonplace, and fostering teamwork in multicultural teams is a growing challenge. The growing body of intercultural research suggests important Jolanta Aritz is an Associate...

...errors. Medication errors can be attributed to faults in both humans and medication use systems. Therefore, it is necessary to address resolutions to both of these predicaments. The anticoagulant heparin is amongst the most implicated medications. Thus, it has been documented in the top five high-alert medications. Two notable events that triggered recent interest in this topic are the heparin overdoses that occurred in California, associated with actor Dennis Quaid’s newborn twins, and those affecting neonates in an Indiana hospital. The Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) is a proactive approach to error prevention. Implementation of an FMEA system would serve as a crucial method that will help to recognize potential failures of a product or process before adverse events occur. FMEA can help identify where the use of technology can be implemented to facilitate the reduction of medication errors, especially pertaining to heparin as in this case. Studies have shown how technology, such as computerized heparin nomagram system (HepCare), smart pump infusion technology, computerized physician order entry (CPOE), and the bar coding system, can reduce medication errors. Expanding nationwide awareness of these methods should result in a significant decline of medication errors. Introduction Errors are unavoidable in today highly complex and technologically advanced medical treatment facilities and hospital. Recent studies have shown that over 1.3 million people suffer...

The Securities & Exchange Commission’s (SEC) XBRL mandate began in 2009, requiring all public companies to submit financial statements in XBRL format (United States Securities and Exchange Commission, 2011). The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has used the standard since 2005. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is the latest of these immense government agencies to flirt with idea of implementing a XBRL mandate. The purpose of this paper is to briefly (1) explore why XBRL is the preferred standard, (2) shed light on the exploratory phase that the IRS has entered and the benefits to be gained from the new standard as well as the obstacles that lie ahead, (3) look at what the rest of the world is doing, and finally (4) look at the inevitability of an IRS adoption of XBRL.
