  • The course syllabus asks students to identify a major issue in each class, and asks students to explain the issue with reference to the material presented in class and in one of the secondary readings. In other words, students are asked to make an analytical argument about the issue showing that the student understands the issue.
    • The issue students select may involve something that the entire class addresses or the issue may be more tightly focused, perhaps on one of the subheadings provided in each class.
    • In thinking about the issue, students are encouraged to ask themselves how and why did events turn out the way they did and not another? How does the issue compare with other issues discussed in that or in previous classes? What kinds of useful contrasts can be made? What do students think is the issue’s significance?
    • In thinking about their arguments, students should ask themselves if their Reflection explains the issue, and if it includes the perspective of one of the readings (not just the facts or data but the author’s own argument about the material). Student views do not have to agree with that of the reading, but if they don’t they need to explain why.
  • A model Reflection is concise. It identifies an issue and its significance in the opening sentences, and makes a reasoned argument explaining it using material online and useful references to the secondary reading. Students are free to be use their imaginations in explaining the issue but need still address the issue identified.
  • With regard to format, short essays like this do not need a separate title page. If you are citing one of the materials listed on the syllabus, please identify it once and feel free to identify page number in parentheses. If you reference any other material, you must include a full citation as a footnote or endnote – proper citation styles can be found on the link below.

module 2 chapter 4 discussion 4 topic group 1

/in /by

Chapter 4: Make sure you watch the video “Zimbaro’s Stanford Prison Experiment” *if googled the video comes right up* embedded in the powerpoint presentation. For your discussion for this chapter, talk about that film with your group members. Did the behavior of the participants surprise you (both the guards and the prisoners)? Did the behavior of the experimenters surprise you? If you had been a prisoner or guard in this study, do you think you would have behaved differently? As you frame your response, describe the difference between attitudes leading to behaviors versus behaviors leading to attitudes, and tie it in with your ideas about the Stanford Prison Experiment. In your follow-up comment, critique another group member’s response, paying close attention to the “attitudes leading to behaviors versus behaviors leading to attitudes” arguments. Did they make a convincing argument that attitudes lead to behavior (or behavior leads to attitudes)? As an optional (but interesting) discussion, feel free to talk about how attitudes are driving our current political climate in the United States.

ethics in accounting 21

/in /by

Effective financial reporting depends on sound ethical behavior. Financial scandals in accounting and the businesses world have resulted in legislation to ensure adequate disclosures and honesty and integrity in financial reporting. A sound economy is contingent on truthful and reliable financial reporting.

Instructions:

  • Read the following scenario.
  • Answer the questions that follow. This will be a 2-3 page submission in a question and answer format (also in paragraph form). An introduction and conclusion is not required.
  • Refer back to your textbook for guidance on how to think through the scenario.

You have been recently hired as an assistant controller for XYZ Industries, a large, publically held manufacturing company. Your immediate supervisor is the controller who also reports directly to the VP of Finance. The controller has assigned you the task of preparing the year-end adjusting entries. In the receivables area, you have prepared an aging accounts receivable and have applied historical percentages to the balances of each of the age categories. The analysis indicates that an appropriate estimated balance for the allowance for uncollectible accounts is $180,000. The existing balance in the allowance account prior to any adjusting entry is a $20,000 credit balance.

After showing your analysis to the controller, he tells you to change the aging category of a large account from over 120 days to current status and to prepare a new invoice to the customer with a revised date that agrees with the new category. This will change the required allowance for uncollectible accounts from $180,000 to $135,000. Tactfully, you ask the controller for an explanation for the change and he tells you “We need the extra income, the bottom line is too low.”

Required:

In a 2-3 page paper, discuss the following:

  1. Consider what you have learned relative to ethics and financial reporting. What is the rationale for the calculations/process used to estimate the $180,000 uncollectible allowance?
  2. How do you think the misstatement of funds will impact the income statement and balance sheet?
  3. What is the ethical dilemma you face? What are the ethical considerations? Consider your options and responsibilities as assistant controller.
  4. Identify the key internal and external stakeholders. What are the negative impacts that can happen if you do not follow the instructions of your supervisor?
  5. What are the potential consequences if you do comply with your supervisor’s instructions? Who will be negatively impacted?

Additional Requirements:

  • Use at least one (1) quality academic resource (in addition to your textbook) for this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as academic resources. You have access to Strayer University’s Online Library at https://research.strayer.edu and the iCampus University Library Research page at https://icampus.strayer.edu/library/research.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Your paper should be double spaced (Arial or Times Roman 12 pt font) and follow general Strayer Writing Standards (SWS) as they relate to references and citations. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details (more information and an example is included in the Strayer Writing Standards menu link located in your Blackboard).
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Management Fads – Are Fads Temporary or Permanent

  • The emergence and disappearance of fads appears to be a predictable aspect of modern society.
    • A fad arises when some element of popular culture becomes enthusiastically embraced by a group of people.
    • As with cultural fads, many provocative business ideas go through a life cycle of creating buzz, captivating a group of enthusiastic adherents, and then giving way to the next fad.
    • Beyond the striking similarities between cultural and business fads, there are also important differences.
    • Management by objectives (MBO) is a process wherein managers and employees work together to create goals. These goals guide employees’ behaviors and serve as the benchmarks for assessing their performance.
    • Continuous Improvement is a formal group of employees that meets regularly to brainstorm solutions to organizational problems.

*Improving culture through mission and vision statements is a process by which companies define themselves to their various stakeholders.

*Virtual Teams often alters the structure of an organization with employees organized into virtual teams which allow for interaction and communication throughout the global work environment.

The above examples of fads are just some changes that companies have experiences. As you think about the current trends in organizational structures or work environments for employees, find an article that describes or predicts what may be a future fad. Analyze it in terms of its features, characteristics, and potential impact. You can use the internet to research this topic. Your response can be in your own words. You can also comment on any fad that you observe in your own work experiences.

analysis of federalist papers using 2 supreme court cases as examples

/in /by

Welcome to Judiciary week. We are getting all legal, all the time. For this week, the focus is on Article Three of the Constitution, the assigned Federalist Papers, and Marbury vs. Madison. This Supreme Court case was the first time they flexed their muscle, so to speak, by interpreting and thereby setting a legal precedent enforcing their jurisdiction. The Supreme Court has two, as you will read in Article III of the Constitution of the United States: original jurisdiction, and appellate jurisdiction. This case hinged on that distinction. They also established Judicial Review. Make sure you note that fully. The Federalist papers assigned on the syllabus for this week, written by Alexander Hamilton, may be interesting in terms of how he framed the discussion of the Judicial Branch. How much power did he give it credit for, and does that still in this day and age? Included here also is a more recent Supreme Court case that is very applicable to our times. Clinton vs. Jones. Note not only the structure and precedents cited in the case, but note also the question this case established: are sitting presidents immune to criminal or civil prosecution? Can we relate this to current circumstances?

For this week’s reflection paper, there will be one question: Is the Judiciary as weak as Hamilton claims in Federalist 78?

The best answers will include an analysis of the assigned Federalist Papers, and two examples supporting your view. Those examples can take the form of any Supreme Court case, any Federal Court case, and anything from the uploaded assigned readings of course. This paper is, as always, due by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday. Current events relating to this topic are always welcome in your paper. We are, unfortunately, living in very interesting times. Include a current event in your paper this time. Let us use our tools to analyze what is happening right now.
