Details:

Choose a public company in the food industry. Analyze the financial statements and assess whether the financial performance has improved or declined year-over-year. Analysis techniques include the following: Comparative financial statements Trend analysis Ratio analysis Percentage analysis Presentation of 5–10 PowerPoint slides that includes the following: At least 3 slides relevant to the analysis prepared An analysis of the performance of the firm based on the analysis tools used A summary of the company’s financial performance and assessment of whether it has improved or declined year-over-year in terms of profitability, asset utilization, and liquidity Background on Course Research Requirements: In the business world, it is important to use research to strengthen points made in presentations and projects. Learning to use the search functions in databases for research is a crucial critical thinking skill that complements other research techniques. There are two main types of databases. You must stay away from inferior Web sites with anonymous writers; articles found on consultant Web sites, and materials on Web sites that are not reputable. Dictionaries and encyclopedias most often repeat the information from textbooks. Acceptable Internet resources include, among others, government sites (especially for statistics). Wikipedia or any open source Web sites are not permitted.   _____________________________________________________________________________________   Many corporations and government entities have an internal auditing function and a separate fraud investigation function either as a subunit of internal auditing or security or as a separate unit within the organization. In addition, many accounting and consulting firms have a forensic, investigation, and litigation support services.     The financial forensic investigation techniques and procedures used within an organization (in-house) or from a professional contracted service firm can come about in different ways. For example, some forensic techniques for analyzing financial statements are common for financial auditors, fraud auditors, or forensic accountants and investigators. Other techniques, such as using behavior detection methods and interviewing methods, are primarily used in specific fraud investigation engagements. Please post an answer to the following questions. Support your answers with academic or real-life criminal justice examples to accentuate your point. Also, you must provide at least 1 feedback post to one of your classmates. Research and locate a company who was audited by an outside source and explain the method, technique, and findings of an audit. Do you think that it is a wise investment to contract services that provide security against fraud or should it be an in-house department that provides fraud security services? Include additional information that you think is appropriate or interesting concerning ethical or unethical business behavior. Cite your references in APA format. Provide one feedback post to another classmate.

Assignment 6: Physical Design and Implementation Due Week 7 and worth 50 points This assignment requires the use of a relational database management system. Strayer University provides each student with a login id to a University maintained Oracle Database Server for you to implement your tables and queries in this course. As an alternative to using that, you may download any relational database management system of your choosing to your personal desktop and physically implement your database locally on your PC. Your logical database designs are rolling along great, and your boss has even hinted that you may be promoted to senior systems analyst! Now, you are ready to have rubber meet the road and actually physically design and implement your database! However, that annoying executive that has been trying to stump your rise to glory along the way is questioning how secure the database can be, since “everybody” can access it. Write a 2-3 page paper in which you: Explain the security mechanisms available for a database and how the data will be protected. Explain how to defeat SQL injection attacks since the database will be publicly accessible. Outline the physical design of your database. List the SQL commands you will use to create your database tables. Note: Be sure that each table has at least ten records that you create so you will be able to produce reports later on. Implement the tables in Oracle’s 11g relational database management system (see software requirement above) and verify its evidence through the implementation of screen shots in the written paper. Note: Remember, this is the physical implementation of your logical design from prior assignments so your grade will reflect the degree that you are able to accurately realize your blueprints from the logical designs you developed previously. This will form the basis of your grade. In addition to submitting your SQL code for this requirement, you must submit screen shots of your tables. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements: Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
