The FASB’s Conceptual Framework and Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFASs) require full disclosures to be made in a business enterprise’s financial statements. These disclosures requirements are applicable to corporations and nonprofit organizations. The purpose of these disclosures is to provide reliable and relevant information to the users of the financial statements. In addition to disclosures required by the FASB, nonprofits must also be in compliance with regulations enacted by Congress as well as local laws. You currently work for a nonprofit organization as a staff accountant. The controller has requested that you conduct research on disclosure requirements for nonprofit organizations to ascertain if the organization is in compliance with established FASB requirements and any other regulations applicable to nonprofits, such as IRS regulations. Prepare a written report of 2–5 pages that includes the following: Describe financial accounting disclosures required for nonprofit organizations and how these disclosures provide useful information to users. Explain disclosure requirements for nonprofit organizations, such as the tax-exempt determination letters required by Congress and the IRS. Discuss the reasons for these disclosure requirements and the sentiments of the public and government about deviations and scandals in this sector because of lack of disclosures. Include a minimum of 3 properly researched and cited facts using APA format as they apply to the disclosure requirements for nonprofit organizations. .

Questions None of these questions has a style component, thus you don't have to write in complete sentences and well-formed paragraphs. You can use lists where appropriate if you want. You are a partner in a medium-sized, regional CPA firm and have been approached by XYZ, Inc., a relatively small, public company, to do their audit for next year. XYZ is registered with the SEC and has filed audited 10-Ks for the last 10 years since they went public. They haven't indicated why they are switching auditors. XYZ specializes in developing shale gas using fracking technology. Fracking technology involves drilling wells into shale formations and injecting high pressure water containingspecial chemicals into the well to fracture the shale formation and release the trapped natural gas. You and your firm currently are members of the AICPA. All the partners and managers are licensed CPAs in the state of New Mexico and also members of the AICPA. Your firm has limited experience with oil and gas extraction and has no other fracking clients. However, your firm has offices that can cover the physical locations where the prospective client does business. a) Develop a checklist of five areas or issues that you would want to research before you accepted this firm as an audit client. For each area or issue, explain why you would want to research it and give an example of where you might go to get some information about each issue. i) Issue 1 - Royalty: The royalty is to be paid by the lessor without any deductions for the cost of the drilling or production and royalty is negotiable, therefore it should be assessed. ii) Issue 2 – Bonus: The bonus is to be paid to the lessor as consideration for execution of the lease. It should be expressed as a fix dollar amount per net mineral acre. iii) Issue 3 – Post production Cost: Taking into consideration if royalty is based on pricing received by the company, the post production cost should also be revised or checked to be computed. iv) Issue 4 - Lease Terms: It’s imperative to be able to understand how the lease term function in this particular industry such as oil and gas. Not to mention, the time period of lease to be able to identify and understand the ongoing concerns. v) Issue 5 – Safety Management: The need of the study of safety management system being adopted by the company in regards to employee involvement, safety training, hazard identification, management of labor and control. b) Describe two reasons why a firm like this firm would want an audit even if they were not required to do so by the SEC. I am looking for substantive reasons that show you understand the importance of auditing in capital markets and why possible stakeholders like lenders and investors would want a firm like this to have an audit. Reason 1: The firm and it’s auditors are very capable and have been permitted by the states to perform the external audit and not to mention, can perform the audit responsibil ...

The Fatherhood Project should be organized to address the following two major questions: Given the aforementioned differences that exist between men in the US, how does the sociological imagination help you to position black fathers into the historical roles (child-rearing and breadwinner) previously mentioned? And, what theoretical perspective/perspectives would best explain why black fathers are not able to fulfill the breadwinner role in the United States? To help you address the aforementioned questions, project members should e ngage in a semi-structured interview with eight persons (5 males and 5 females). These individuals can be your peers, family members, persons on campus or even strangers. Ask about their thoughts on what father involvement means to them, if there are differences in how black fathers are perceived in relation to white fathers and what do they feel, if any, account for these differences. Ensure to collect data on the age, race/ethnicity, gender, perceived socio-economic status, religious affiliation, level of education and family structure, of the persons you interview (no names are to be solicited). The Fatherhood Project should include: Introduction/Background - A working definition, or definitions, of father involvement and detail the sociological and historical evolution of fathering in the U.S. Theoretical Perspectives (this section can be combined with the first section) - Assess the successes and failures of two theoretical frameworks that you will use in your paper to explain your results on fathering. Analyses/Discussion - Using the semi-structured interviews, write a detailed critique of what father involvement means, noting the differences that exist in the definitions, the differences in how black fathers and white fathers are perceived and the reason for these perceived differences. Please make note of how the aforementioned differences are stratified by race/ethnicity, gender, education, socio-economic background etc. The Father Involvement Project is a group assignment and asks you to develop a critical response with regard to the following quote, subsequent statements and questions: “His job is elsewhere… because his fundamental value to the family is maintaining the connection to the elsewhere . . . Fathers have been far away for centuries: on military campaigns, as sailors on distant seas for years at a time; as cattle drivers, travelers, trappers, prospectors, messengers, prisoners, jobbers, peddlers, slavers, pirates, missionaries, migrant workers. The work week was once seventy-two hours. The construct ‘‘fatherhood’’ shows widely different faces in different countries, classes, occupations, and historical times. Only today is absence so shaming, and declared a criminal, even criminal-producing behavior.” (Hillman, 1996; pg. 80-81). One of the most, if not the most, enduring historical elements defining fatherhood has nothing to do with rearing children but deals with the assumption .

The ethical status of nursing homes is deeply affected by their cultural image. For a culture with deep anti-institutional biases and often romanticized versions of "family" and the freedoms of "home," nursing homes are especially suspect (Collopy & Boyles, 1991). They are "total institutions" where personal freedom, privacy, and range of choice have little chance (Collopy & Boyles, 1991). However, the picture is changing. While many nursing homes still do function like impersonal and regimented institutions, over the last decade, a grassroots movement in long-term care known as "culture change," or "resident-centered care," has begun to spread throughout the country (Haran, 2006). Moody originally wrote Chapters 7 & 8 in the late 1980s when this movement was just beginning and thus he doesn’t discuss “culture change” in your textbook. Does “culture change” embrace Moody’s Negotiated Consent model? Why or why not? Support your statements with evidence from the Required Studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style. References Collopy, B. & Boyles, P. (1991). New directions in nursing home ethics, Hastings Center Report Haran, C. (2006).

The Enlightenment freed humankind from what many considered the “superstitions of religion” and paved the way for the Industrial Revolution with its focus on science and reason over religion and faith. Consider that Frankenstein was written when humanity was on the cusp of incredible achievement. Vaccination for the devastating disease smallpox began in the late 18th century, and a wealth of inventions led to the factory and mass-productions of goods. Factories, however, resulted in people working long, grueling hours, often in unsafe conditions. Two literary styles, Gothic and Romantic, developed as a reaction to Enlightenment thinking’s emphasis on the human ability and the power of the human mind, to the horrors of the French Revolution (which was itself influenced by Enlightenment thinkers), and the remarkable changes wrought by the Industrial Revolution, both good and bad. These literary styles focus on the imperfections of human beings and the powerful force of nature. Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein was infamously written as the result of a bet as to who could write the most terrifying ghost story, but it is more than a scary story. Among the main themes of the novel is dangerous knowledge, including (but not limited to) the knowledge of the creation of life. In a post of a minimum of 500 words, discuss modern implications of what could be considered the dangerous knowledge of life and death. As a modern society, have we crossed a line to the acceptance of dangerous knowledge? .

The Exclusionary Rule Defendants in criminal trials have one main weapon to prevent their conviction before trial. That weapon is called the Exclusionary Rule. The Exclusionary Rule holds that evidence obtained through a violation of a defendant's constitutional rights is inadmissible at trial. This primarily applies to Fourth Amendment search and seizure. Further, the evidence obtained illegally may make inadmissible other evidence obtained from the original evidence (i.e., the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine). Therefore, it is important for all judges, lawyers, police officers, and other legal professionals to understand the nuances of this fact-intensive rule. Review Chapter 3, § 3.1 and 3.2, in your course text, Constitutional Law, and focus on the fundamentals of the Fourth Amendment. Review Chapter 4 in your course text, Constitutional Law, and focus on the Fourth Amendment and its prohibition of illegal search and seizures. Consider how the principles of search and seizure would apply in real life scenarios. Think about whether or not illegal searches and seizures should exist. Think about whether evidence obtained in an illegal search should or should not be excluded in a trial in which that evidence alone would result in a conviction. With these thoughts in mind: Due by Thursday February 11 , 2016 a 300-400 an argument explaining whether or not illegal searches and seizures should exist. Then, explain whether evidence obtained in an illegal search should or should not be excluded in a trial in which that evidence alone would result in a conviction. Be specific and justify your response. Support your work with specific citations from the Learning Resources. You are allowed to draw from additional sources to support your argument, but you must cite using APA standards. All quoted material must be identified, cited, and referenced per APA standards. .
