Select 1 ethical theory and apply it to resolving the ethical problem.

Need to create a case study with an etical problem.  After the case study is written, you should answer these questions:

1) Identify who are the mai moral agents in the case.

2) What is the dominant ethical problem in the case.

3) Select 1 ethical theory and apply it to resolving the ethical problem.

–  Utilitarianism

–  Deontology

–  Virtue ethics

I need to be able to use this case study to make a power point presentation and give a 15 minute presentation, on it. I also have to have some questions to ask the class (with my answers).  There is no set length on the case study, it just need to be long enough for me to make a 15 minute presentation.

Explain how PCAOB and SEC have benefited the investor.

 

Assignment 2: LASA 1: Reporting Requirements

Dewey, Wright, and Moore have just been approached by a new client, AV Imports and Exports, a company that trades goods with various countries. You are in charge of an audit engagement.

AV Imports and Exports is a publicly traded company that does several billions of dollars of business every year. As partner at Dewey, Wright, and Moore, you understand the ramifications of the audit of a company of this size. Regulation is stringent, and the impact on the firm, as well as on the society, can be substantial if the audit fails.

As you have interns and first year staff assisting you with this audit, it is important that they are educated on the risk, the regulation that governs the audit, as well as both the client and firm conducting the audit. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) are the major regulators of concern. To educate your staff on regulation and importance of conducting the audit properly, you instruct them to do the following exercise.

Visit the PCAOB Web site (http://www.pcaobus.org/) and the U.S. SEC Web site (http://www.sec.gov/). Review the reporting requirements for publicly traded companies, including Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) requirements. Analyze the impact of the reporting requirements on the auditing profession.

In an 8-10 page paper, respond to the following:

  • Explain how PCAOB and SEC have benefited the investor.
  • Evaluate whether more regulation is required.
  • Use the Argosy University online library resources to locate a case covering a CPA firm or public accounting firm involved in an audit failure. Explain whether or not you feel professional standards were appropriately applied in this case. Present the information in such a way that your staff can understand the significance of always maintaining the highest in professional standards.
  • The overall risk assessment is now complete. As a part of planning the audit, you need to select an appropriate audit strategy for obtaining sufficient evidence for each significant financial statement assertion. The strategies are based on the interrelationships among evidence, materiality, and the components of audit risk.

    Define the term preliminary audit strategy.

  • Summarize information about preliminary audit strategy from scholarly sources and cite the sources.
  • Describe the components that should be specified in developing a preliminary audit strategy for your client and explain how the strategy relates to the audit risk model.

Explore to what extent political ideology influences constitutional law.

After reading the landmark decisions of Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896) and Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966), discuss the following in a paper of 7-9 pages:

  • What factors influenced each of these decisions?
    • Read the dissenting opinions as well.
    • Explore to what extent political ideology influences constitutional law.
    • To support your points, identify specific examples in the language of both the decisions and the dissents.
  • Examine the political climate when both cases were decided.
    • Look at what philosophical underpinnings may have influenced the thinking of the court of the respective eras of these cases. How did the courts in each era read the U.S. Constitution differently?

Compute descriptive statistics for the variable(s), and explain the measures of central tendency and measures of dispersion that are most appropriate for your study.

Using the survey that you developed in Unit III, choose 10 people in your organization to respond to the survey. If you do not have personnel in your organization to respond or you do not get a favorable response, then you may create fictitious people to conduct the survey. Before disseminating the surveys, please pre-code the data (refer
to Chapter 19, pp. 470-471 or follow the example provided in the lecture).

Perform the following:

1. Create a data file using an Excel worksheet.

2. Compute descriptive statistics for the variable(s), and explain the measures of central tendency and measures of dispersion that are most appropriate for your study. Refer to the procedure for computing description statistics in
Chapter 17, p. 410 of your textbook.

3. Create a pie chart with percentages. Click here to view a tutorial from the Success Center on descriptive statistics data and creating a histogram chart, pie chart, and other simple graphs.

4. Compute a frequency table and histogram for each variable. Examples are shown in Chapter 17.

5. Decide which measures of central tendency, spread, and graphical display would be most appropriate for the
study.

Using the information above, write a one- to two-page paper explaining how the data will be analyzed. This section
should begin with a brief introduction to the section and a description of the problem. You must also explain how the data will be coded and edited. Provide justification for the descriptive statistics that will be employed in the study.  You will only need to submit the paper for this assignment. Please do not include data, results, or graphical
displays.

Describe one scene, one paragraph must describe the scene, like a park, in a positive way, and than in the second paragraph must be described negatively.

 describe one scene, one paragraph must describe the scene, like a park, in a positive way, and than in the second paragraph must be described negatively. For example if you describe the alluring smell of fresh cut grass than you must describe the sent in a negative way in the second paragraph. The elements that are described cannot be changed or omitted but their description can be changed. You cannot change the weather as well. Two paragraphs one positive one negative, and one paragraph long self reflection.

Companies use various types of computer software embedded in their accounting systems to prevent and detect fraud. Research one such program and explain in your own words how it prevents or detects fraud.

Discussion topic 1: Computer Forensics: Prevention and Detection

  1. Companies use various types of computer software embedded in their accounting systems to prevent and detect fraud. Research one such program and explain in your own words how it prevents or detects fraud.
  2. Software programs are also used in fraud investigations. These programs include case management software, graphics software, and data extraction software. Give an example of how case management software assists a fraud investigation. Next, provide an example of how graphics software can be used in a fraud case. Third, give an example of a type of evidence that can be obtained through a data extraction program.
