...Controls for Outflows Biniyam Beyene, Christie Ferrell, Gabriel Mendoza and Paula Strahl ACC/544 May 2, 2015 Professor Tracie Youngblood Controls for Outflows Purchasing, accounts payable, cash disbursements, finance, investment, and payroll are key components to a successful and efficient business. Internal controls are needed in these outflow process to prevent fraud and theft within the business. The follow proposal will list the types of controls that are needed and reason for the controls. Finance One of the things that cannot be overlooked when it comes to controls is finance. Finance is the lifeblood of an organization. Without proper controls and functionality and control, a company’s finances can be out of distorted and may cause a business to possibly go under and close for business. One of the things that a business can do with controlling its finances is to have more than one person of management sign off on orders that have to do with financial transactions. An example of this would be a work or purchase order. This is something that should be controlled and documented by more than one person of management. The last thing that upper management wants to see is a mess of finances where one individual may end up taking too much control and could very well not be aware of the right amount of inventory they could be purchasing where there may not be a need. A second person can look over the order themselves and may have the ability to...

...instruments are made of wood and glued together instead of nailed as that will change the sound of the instruments. Strings of different lengths and thickness are then attached to the instrument and stretched to a specific length in order to sound the proper pitch. Strings are typically made of synthetic materials, sheep gut or metal, depending on the player’s preference. The Woodwind Family The woodwind section is made up of piccolos, flutes, oboes, English horns, clarinets, E-flat clarinets, bass clarinets, bassoons and contrabassoons. The name “woodwind” is sometimes misleading as about half the woodwind section is made of some sort of metal, for example, flutes are made of silver or gold, piccolos are sometimes made of silver and saxophones are made of brass. The Brass Family The brass family is composed of trumpets, French horns, trombones, baritones, euphoniums and tubas/sousaphones. Brass instruments are made of brass tubes that flare out into a bell at one end of the instrument. The bell, like a megaphone, helps to amplify the sound of the instrument, which helps make brass instruments the loudest of all the orchestral instruments. To make a sound on a brass instrument, you have to put your lips together and make a “buzz” sound into a metal mouthpiece. Percussion Percussion consists of drums (snare, bass, tympani, bongo, tom-toms, etc.), xylophones, marimbas, tubular bells, cymbals, maracas, glockenspiels, gongs and castanets. The term Percussion means "the hitting...

...What is the Fraud? The fraud consists of Equipment Overshipping and a kickback scheme. Who is involved? Charlie Thurgood and Ben Hill. How was it done? The first two months, April and May, TBC used Sports Chalet as its equipment vendor, however for the last two months, Ben Hill has diverted the business to Sports Equipment for no credible reason besides that Charlie is his friend, in the catalog there are no price differences between the two. Michele would submit the purchase order to Ben, so Ben had a chance to recreate purchase orders since they are left open and increase the orders. He would change the quantities ordered and told charlie to falsify the invoices. Charlie would also swap the shipping slips and the invoices so they would match TBC's records and alter the price on the invoice so the same total would be charged. Charlie and Ben could then fence the excess goods and divide the money. What is the economic impact of the fraud for the last 4 months? This fraud has cost the Tallahassee Beancounters $4,150 dollars since it began in June. How can this fraud be corrected? Ben had an overlapping authority when it came to choosing vendors, handling purchase orders, and paying vendors. By having access to all of these it was far too easy for him to use his position for fraud. Asking for the lost revenue back or possibly suing them for it. Sports Equipment could also be forced to deliver the amount of goods that appeared on the...

...Date: October 10, 2011 From: Rachael Melendez To: PwC Auditor Introduction BLUE Company operates under an enterprise planning system which allows an organization to automate and integrate its essential business processes. There are many weaknesses within BLUE’s expenditure process that lead to potential risks. The internal controls in this company are poor; for example, certain departments are authorized too much power, such as the purchasing clerk and the cash disbursement department. These duties need to be segregated among other departments. By pre-approving transactions, such as an approved vendor list, preventative controls can eliminate the ability to engage in fraudulent activities. Also, this company needs to engage in a system of checks and balances among each department to ensure validity, accuracy and completeness. Analysis The first step in the expenditure process may create issues. All the employees should not have access to create a purchase requisition. For example, how can an employee that works in the cash disbursement department know about the inventory levels and make a purchase requisition. BLUE Company is lacking an inventory control department; this needs to be incorporated. BLUE Company should limit the number of employees with the access to create a purchase requisition within the inventory control department. Unauthorized access exposes assets to misappropriation, damage, and theft. By incorporating access controls, BLUE Company may be able to...

...in his ensemble such as “Once in a Dream”, “Night is Young”, and “Ready for a Sunny Day”. Dave’s jazz ensemble is a quintet and includes Bill Shreeve on sax, Lynn Willard on piano, Gary Nieves on drums, and Justin Grinnell on bass. Dave will also sometimes have guest appearances from some featured performers such as Hollis Gentry on sax, Tommy Aros on Latin Percussions, and Pat Fitzpatrick on electrical bass. Some of the songs were composed and arranged by Dave Scott or Bill Shreeve. I was able to catch their performance this Monday night on August 4th. I was able to listen in on a few pieces during my one hour and thirty minutes there. One of the pieces was titled “Blue Cheer.” The piece was highlight with the solo play of the saxophone player, Bill Shreeve. I found out after the performance that this piece was arranged and composed by Bill himself. It explains the dominant play of the sax in this particular piece. The piece was mellow yet had an upbeat feel to it. The bass provided a steady beat throughout the piece and the drums and symbols provided a mellow rhythm to the piece. The piano play was very subtle; you would have to really focus in on the piece to hear the piano player. There was a distinct rhythm throughout the piece provided by the sax. The piece...

...enjoyed the most was the Terence Blanchard Combo which was directed by Ansyn Banks. This group consisted of Jon Driver who played the saxophone, Doug Finke who played the trombone, Hanks Evans who played the piano, Will Kinman who played the bass, and John Walther who played the drums. Most of the performers were young but the older men still kept up with them and made for a great performance. The band itself felt comfortable playing their instruments, but seemed a little timid when it came to actually performing in front of everyone though. They were confident in what they were doing, but just seemed like they were a bit nervous in the beginning. The energy with each other was a little sluggish at the beginning of their performance but picked up midway through the first song and continued to increases as they performed their second piece of the night. They all got into their instrument and you could really feel the passion they had for playing it as well. The Terence Blanchard Combo, as well as the other bands, played two different pieces. The first piece they played was called “Strollin’” and composed by Horace Silver. The saxophone played by Jon Driver was very impressive by the way he knew when to cut in and out of the song and his cues were right on point. This song was very upbeat and fast paced and I enjoyed the theme of it. The saxophone and trombone...

...Antoine-Joseph "Adolphe" Sax (6 November 1814 – c. 7 February 1894[1]) was a Belgian musical instrument designer and musician who played the flute and clarinet, and is well known for having invented the saxophone. He also invented the saxotromba, saxhorn and saxtuba. Contents [hide] 1 Biography 1.1 Early life 1.2 Career 1.3 Other invented instruments 2 Notes 3 References 4 External links Biography[edit] Early life[edit] Antoine-Joseph Sax was born in Dinant, Belgium. His father, Charles-Joseph Sax, was an instrument designer himself, who made several changes to the design of the horn. Adolphe began to make his own instruments at an early age, entering two of his flutes and a clarinet into a competition at the age of 15. He subsequently studied those two instruments at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. Career[edit] Having left the school, Sax began to experiment with new instrument designs, while his father continued to make conventional instruments to bring money into the household. Adolphe's first important invention was an improvement of the bass clarinet design, which he patented at the age of 24. Sax relocated permanently to Paris in 1841 and began working on a new set of instruments exhibited there in 1844. These were valved bugles, and although he had not invented the instrument itself, his examples were so much more successful than those of his rivals that they became known as saxhorns. They range in approximately seven different sizes, and paved the...

...The most famous out of these people is George Gershwin, the clarinetist at the beginning of Blues in Rhapsody. The second famous being Martin Frost, who roller bladed while articulating flight of the bumble bee. How amazing is that? The clarinet has very unique acoustics, it’s the only woodwind with a cylindrical bore! Related reed instruments including saxophones, oboes, English horns and bassoons are all conical-bored; they are narrow at the top end, widening out to a much larger bell opening, but they are not considered part of an orchestra each register of the clarinet’s range has its own name. The lowest octave is known as the Chalumeau register, the middle octave is the Clarion register, and the highest octave is the Altissimo register. Now some fun facts on the Clarinet. “Clarinette” is a French word meaning “little bell” or “little trumpet.” Mozart liked the sound of the clarinet so much because he likened its tone to be closest to the quality of the human voice, even though a lot of people at the time did not like the sound it made, especially the high notes. The clarinet sometimes...

...artifact that best represents the society in which we live today. This paper will analyze in detail the jazz saxophone. This paper will examine its origin, it development, and its roots in American jazz. This paper will also explore the changes this artifact will have on future generations. Socio-Political Economic Environment If there were a single cultural artifact that this represents the culture in which we live, today that artifact would be the saxophone or as it is known to most musicians as the jazz sax. The saxophone and jazz are synonymous with a culture that was developed in the United States in the early 20th century. Although this instrument is enjoyed by people all over the world and is used in all forms of music today, it is best known as an integral part of jazz music (The-Saxophone, 2012). Adolphe Sax invented the saxophone in 1838 in Belgium. Sax was the son of an instrument maker and by the age of six, was an expert musical instrument maker (The-Saxophone, 2012). He produced such instruments as the flute and clarinet and learns to play them by testing the ones he made. Sax studied both instruments at the Brussels Conservatory. As a skilled musician, Sax was aware of a tonal disparity between certain instruments. He noticed that there was a disparity between the strings and wind instruments and the brasses and woodwind instruments (The-Saxophone, 2012). To him, it appeared that the brasses overpower the woodwind and the winds were overpowering the...

...York College presented a beautiful jazz performance on March 17, 2003. Sue Terry, the great saxophonist player visited and participated with the most talented college professors and students. Prof. Tom Zlabinger is the director of the program and it was such a great performance of him playing the upright bass. Not only him but his students rocked as well. Sue Terry is an alto and soprano saxophonist. She started her career in Hartford, Connecticut and then after she pursues her degree in saxophonist, she moved and settled in New York in the year of 1982. Her mentors named her “Sweet Sue.” Sue Terry was the main guest at jazz concert. She played her saxophone with the jazz group and she seemed to be exited and surprised with the York College’s jazzgroup. She corrected minor mistakes that the songs they were playing and gave excellent instructions to the jazz group. I was very excited about visiting this concert. This is my first time watching a jazz show in my whole life and I totally enjoyed the entire concert. The jazz group were about 20-25 people. The instruments that were used at this concert were the woodwinds (not so sure of the name) which I believe that there were five players on it. This was the most players in one category of instruments. I think the woodwind players were seated in the first row. Not only woodwind instruments, there were trombones, trumpets and all kinds of horn instruments that definitely is best suitable to an appropriate jazz concert...

...that capture its listeners. Any man who says that music doesn`t play a major role in one’s life is deserving of pity. Every man today fits under at least one classification of music. Today, I`ll share with you on the types of instruments, music and emotion and also the role of woodwind and brass in an orchestra. Body Do you know what an orchestra is? In simple words it brings the meaning of a group of people playing instruments that are classified into woodwind and brass. Do you know how a trumpet or a saxophone looks like? Do you know in which categories are these instruments classified? Well no worries, I`ll share with you. A woodwind instrument is an instrument in which sound is produced by blowing against an edge or by a vibrating with air a thin piece of wood known as a reed. Most of these instruments were originally made of wood, but some such as the saxophone and some flutes are now made of other materials. The examples of the woodwind instruments are flute, saxophone, clarinets, oboe and bassoon. Meanwhile a brass instrument is a musical instrument whose tone is produced by vibration of the lips as the player blows into a tubular resonator. They are also called labrosones, literally meaning "lip-vibrated instruments" (A lackadaisical Lexicon for Laggard Logophiles). The examples of brass instruments are French horn, trumpets, trombone, euphonium, and also tuba. Woodwind and brass instruments are also...
