...Week 2 Assignment from Text – Jamie Oswalt 16-33 a. The payroll procedures at the Galena plant do contain some shortcomings. The first one is that the supervisors in the production department are not approving actual hours. Another one found is that payroll clerk seems to be in charge of most duties, which clearly signifies a lack of segregation of duties. Finally, the employee from the personnel department should not be the one to have access to the payroll checks and hold them until time for delivery. In order to fix these shortcomings and improve the internal controls of Galena’s payroll procedures, there are certain changes that should be made. All employees should sign off on their own time cards and then give the time card to his or her immediate supervisor for approval. There should also be at least two payroll clerks with different duties. One should prepare the information that will need to be processed through the payroll data processing. Another should be the one to reconcile the time cards and the payroll register. The payroll clerk should not be authorized to void and reissue checks. This should be approved at the management level. The payroll checks should be given to the accounting department for safe keeping instead of the personnel department. b. All of the shortcomings mentioned above could lead to material errors and irregularities. The lack of the segregation of duties is a material weakness. The payroll clerk could easily submit false or fictitious...

...Resource: Visualizing Psychology Read questions 1, 2, & 4 located in Critical and Creative Thinking Questions in Ch. 4 of Visualizing Psychology. Answer each question in at least 50 words. 1. Sensation and perception are closely linked. What is the central distinction between the two? The central distinction between the two are: Sensation is the way we receive information through our five senses (sight, smell, touch, hearing, taste) and relays that information to the brain through our sensory receptors, neurons then carry this information to the brain. Perception is how we interpret that information and translate it from our sensory receptors to our real world environment. 2. If we sensed and attended equally to each stimulus in the world, the amount of information would be overwhelming. What sensory and perceptual processes help us lessen the din? We have sensory receptors that are specialized for sensory reduction. This is the process where our sensory receptors are filtered and analyzed before being sent to the various parts of the brain. Once the information travels to the brain there is a coding process that differentiates between the various stimuli and perceives this information before sending that information through to various parts of the brain. This process helps lighten the load on the brain from having overwhelming information being sent to the brain all at once. 4. What senses would likely be impaired if a person were somehow missing all of the...

...SPECIAL EVENT: I have been through many big, small, public, and private event during these six months. Especially, there was a private event that I know I will never forget. In the 25/April/ 2015, two month after I work in Tavern. We know the event since two weeks ago; it was a celebration party for Mr./Mrs. Blum’s birthday. The celebration party was for their close birthday and marriage anniversary. Thus, with my colleges we planed to give them a gift. “A video” crushes my mind; firstly I know they won’t let us “buy” any gift for them; secondly, if we were plan to buy a gift, it’s not easy as what you think, there are too many factor, such as, the price (can’t be too cheap or expensive), the size (you can’t put an elephant in the room), and all the other the consideration (we won’t sure if they will like it or not). In Conclusion, I offer my idea, which we make a video to express the feeling we never said to them before. Hence, we try to connect people who had worked in this...

...In 2011, I was a recent graduate and working at a job that offered me the potential of long term employment. Ironically, I experienced several life changing events during this time. I had been working for this company since 2010, which was my main source of income. This company was going through a downsize in 2011 and I was affected by it. I was switched to a different position within the company and my hours were abruptly cut to less than 30 hours per week. This happen during the same time period I became a newlywed and relocated. Furthermore, there was a mix up with where my mail was being delivered. Some of my mail, including my student loans were being delivered to a previous address. I was unaware that my student loans had become delinquent. I was made aware of this by means of my college contacting me. I then immediately took action and contacted my loan providers when I found out I had a lapse in payment. I explained the situation to the loan providers and was granted a forbearance due to my hardship....

...matter, how much more readable it is when the general timeline of the events listed is considered. On the repurposing assignment I had a difficult time trying to organize everything in an effective manner while keeping it all on the same page. This was probably my biggest challenge on this assignment as I tried to deal with alignment and visual effect. I did however, have a fun time working with the design of the page itself and playing off of the name of the recipe. After constructing the work, it was mentioned to me that most people played off of the warm of the hot dish and went with more warm tones, it made me realize just how many different options and ways this project could have gone. While constructing this project I also learned how crucial the right type face can actually be, this would be a great thing to know in the next few projects to come. One of the most challenging concepts for me to grasp was the idea of rhetoric and its entirety, we read a lot about it and talked a good deal about it in class yet it is still a little blurry to me. It seems like such a complex thing that it has many different factors and scenarios to it. I do understand that it is a form of persuasion with language, but from what I did learn in class, it seems to be more than that. The next project we worked with was repurposing, this was a pretty open ended assignment and it took me a little while to decide what I was going to do, which also set me behind a little bit, but all in all I...

...Club IT BIS 219 May 2, 2011 Club IT While I was an intern I was responsible for analyzing Club IT’s needs, I decided to pay them a visit one weekend and see for myself what needed to be done. Although I had a wonderful time, I started to wonder about the club and the people that it attracts.. I did notice that it had a young feel to it, with heart pumping music, lighting, special effects and would be very popular with the people young of age. This could also be a nice place for the older crowd to hang out also. There were several IT issues that started going through my mind. I decided to look over the club’s website to see how much of the club’s information was available to the public and if it needed any adjusting. I decided that the Customer Orientation Strategy would give Club It the best competitive advantage.This is because the despite all of the club’s potential, it was still very empty. Creating an excellent mission statement, addressing the IT needs in relation to the Club’s needs, and performing the customer orientation strategy will enhance this club’s IT ability and clientele. Shortly after viewing Club IT’s website, I noticed that they already had an appealing mission statement in place. That mission statement is “We, Ruben and Lisa, offer you live music, DJ's, dance space and refreshments that suit your lifestyle. You are our friends, and we seek to build a community that meets regularly at Club IT." (Club IT ) Their mission statement is quite appealing...

...of the entire sales (Kroger, n.d.). Kroger employees belong to the United Food and Commercial Workers union. In UFCW, the people form the union. They come collectively with their coworkers, and they put forward and choose by ballot union officers. They also establish the working circumstances and apprehensions bargained in an agreement, and they are part of a bigger movement to advance the lives of employees in the workplace and in their neighborhoods. The more employees who unite collectively, the more management will listen to what the workers have to say. In union there is momentum and without, “union employees have only a small number of rights such as minimum wage, overtime after 40 hours, and unemployment insurance” (Kroger, para. 2). With a union, one enjoys many other benefits ensured in a union agreement, such as, “negotiated wages, health care and retirement plans, defined work schedules, grievance procedures, reasonable workload requirements, protection from unfair treatment and favoritism by the boss, job security and seniority rights and a voice on the job to bargain for other benefits.” (About UFCW, 2011, para. 1)....

...Personal Branding Plan Jessica Cutcher MKT/421 November 30, 2015 Rebecca Robbins Introduction Getting oneself out on the market is the most important part of getting a new job. In order to do this, a person must market themselves. In order to properly market themselves, a potential candidate has to know the resources in which to present themselves as good employee material. It is always a good idea to have a plan in place of the places that employment is desired. Then research those companies and determine what the best way to present a resume is. It is always a good idea to research the companies to begin with in order to come to a good determination as to whether or not this company is one that is good to work for. There are four businesses that I researched and have submitted my resume and applications. I will discuss which companies I chose, why I chose them and the steps that I took in order to present myself to their HR Departments. I have been doing this for the past 3 years, so I have some good references and a little bit knowledge as to how some of these companies perform their hiring process. The first company that I researched and chose to apply with is Ford Motor Company. Ford Motor Company is an organization that I chose because the pay and benefits are great and if you can get through the probation period, it can be a very good job. I looked them up online and found that Ford Motor...

(TCO A) Which of the following does NOT always increase a company's market value? (Points : 5) Increasing the expected growth rate of sales Increasing the expected operating profitability (NOPAT/Sales) Decreasing the capital requirements (Capital/Sales) Decreasing the weighted average cost of capital Increasing the expected rate of return on invested capital 2. (TCO F) Which of the following statements is correct? (Points : 5) The NPV, IRR, MIRR, and discounted payback (using a payback requirement of 3 years or less) methods always lead to the same accept/reject decisions for independent projects. For mutually exclusive projects with normal cash flows, the NPV and MIRR methods can never conflict, but their results could conflict with the discounted payback and the regular IRR methods. Multiple IRRs can exist, but not multiple MIRRs. This is one reason some people favor the MIRR over the regular IRR. If a firm uses the discounted payback method with a required payback of 4 years, then it will accept more projects than if it used a regular payback of 4 years. The percentage difference between the MIRR and the IRR is equal to the project’s WACC. 3. (TCO D) Church Inc. is presently enjoying relatively...

...higher-level education. Currently, the biggest economic support I receive is through financial aid. I was also rewarded two minor scholarships after volunteering at Palmdale Regional Medical Group and Antelope Valley Hospital, one of a thousand dollars and another of five hundred dollars. Although they were minimal, they helped tremendously my first semester. My father is also an enormous financial support system for my college education regardless of the instability of his job. He currently works as a truck driver and delivers loads to companies in different states. One week he may be working, but he is never certain about the following week due to the unavailability of loads and complications that arise from his job. Since he drives for continuous days, mechanical problems constantly arise that are costly. Additionally, in 2013 my father’s truck was stolen meaning he was unemployed, like my mother, for weeks. If for any reason, my father became unemployed once again, I would not be able to continue my five-year nursing plan by myself....
