“The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)’ has dominated academic literature and greatly influenced the practical world of finance and business for almost half a century; as a way to measure systematic risk. Researchers in the 1980s and 1990s have questioned the relationship between systematic risk, measure beta, and returns on securities. Despite heavy criticism of the model from the academic community, CAPM has reached new heights of popularity in the outside world (Arnold pp 269). Hundreds of thousands have studied the CAPM in universities and now hold key positions ready to make decisions based on the model.” Critically discuss the theoretical argument and practical implication of CAPM.

Assume that you applied for a position in UPC’s (fictitious firm) internal audit department after 5 years in the finance department. As a senior internal auditor, one of your assignments is to design and implement controls over capital budgets and review control effectiveness. Your company is required by the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) to report material weaknesses in internal controls.

You created the attached spreadsheet to verify the growth rate used in calculating cost of capital. You identified many inconsistencies with the data used by the finance department. The discrepancies led to a higher cost of capital for the truck replacement project. Therefore, UPC decided to lease trucks instead. Further, you are aware that the finance director is the one who approves capital projects and makes procurement and leasing decisions. The finance director owns a truck leasing company, and proposals have been received from his leasing company.

Your have been instructed to respond to the following tasks:

• Identify and explain 5 or more audit objectives for UPC’s capital plans.
• Provide a report of your audit, and discuss any SOX reportable issues.
• Recommend internal controls to address identified and perceived control weakness in UPC capital plans.
• Some managers have complained that the process of accepting projects does not consider qualitative factors. What qualitative factors will you recommend? Are there any associated risks?

In addition to being a decorated law enforcement officer with 15 years of experience in investigations, you are also a member of a regional professional membership organization for law enforcement officers.

 

At next year’s annual conference, you will be conducting a training for which members can receive continuing education credits.  The topic of your training is “Probable Cause v. Reasonable Suspicion: How Do We Train Our Officers?” This is a “train the trainer” event, in that the bulk of the attendees at your workshop will be training officers who will take these techniques back to their agencies to use as they train their new officers on these constitutional issues.

 

Your job is to put together a PowerPoint presentation that will utilize contemporary case law and other resources to provide a training presentation to the attendees. The objective of your training is to help attendees learn how to differentiate between probable cause and reasonable suspicion.  Essentially, your job is to provide these trainers with the tools to return to their agencies and make these concepts and issues clear to their officers. Effectively presenting this information can be the difference between a case being dismissed for lack of probable cause, and a deserving criminal defendant being prosecuted effectively.

 

Your training should address, but is not necessarily limited to, the following:

 

• A definition of search and seizure
• A discussion of who the Fourth Amendment regulates
• A discussion of the reasonableness clause and the warrant clause of the Fourth Amendment
• A definition of probable cause and of reasonable suspicion, and a discussion of the current state of the law on probable cause and reasonable suspicion
• At least 2 different fact scenarios to illustrate the steps in the decision-making process for an officer in determining whether probable cause or reasonable suspicion exist
• A discussion of the current state of the law in stop-and-frisk
• A discussion of the consequences to law enforcement for violating the Fourth Amendment (such as the exclusionary rule or civil or criminal liability)
• Any other information you believe important to convey in training on this topic

  You must support your presentation with a minimum of 5 legitimate sources.

Practitioners can provide important perspectives that align with your research. If you do not have access to knowledge practitioners, or if you want to supplement the information you have gathered through interviews, you may access several HR bloggers. You may wish to start with HR.com’s blogs (link in the Resources).
   • Conference Proceedings: Frequently, industry conference proceedings are posted on the Internet. Identify industry associations that may have had a conference related to your topic, trend, or issue. Search the Internet to see if the conference’s proceedings have been published. Conference proceedings are often an important resource for finding best practices.
