For governments that implement GASB Statement No. 34, the fund financial statements will accompany Management\'s Discussion and Analysis and the government-wide statements. The fund financial statements are used to report additional detailed information about the primary government not found in the government-wide statements and focus on major funds of the primary government. The GWFS are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. GWFS report information about the government as a whole without displaying individual funds or fund types. Distinctions should be made in the GWFS between the primary government and its discretely presented component units, as well as between governmental activities and business-type activities. Fiduciary activities are not included in the GWFS. GWFS include: The Government-wide Financial Statements and Fund Financial Statements have a different measurement focus and basis of accounting. To help the user understand and assess the relationship between fund-based and government-wide financial statements, local governments will be required to present a summary reconciliationthat will show the interplay between the two types of statements. Balance sheet - The basic statement of position for governmental funds reports the difference between assets and liabilities as fund balance. Fund balance is divided into reserved and unreserved components. This is the same statement that is contained in the AUD and ST3. Statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance-The basic statement of activities for governmental funds reports revenues by source and expenditures by function just as they are currently reported. Since long-term liabilities and capital assets have been incorporated into the government-wide statements the accounts groups will no longer be reported in the statements. A revised supplemental schedule will be included in the AUD and ST3 to continue to accumulate this information. Statement of net assets- The basic statement of position for proprietary funds reports the difference between assets and liabilities as net assets. Net assets are divided into invested in capital assets, restricted and unrestricted.Statement of revenues, expenses and changes in fund net assets- The basic statement of activities for proprietary funds distinguishes operating and non-operating revenues and expenses.Statement of cash flows - This statement will now be required to be prepared on the direct method where operating cash flows will be reported by source. This is not a change for local governments since OSC has already required this method. Solution For governments that implement GASB Statement No. 34, the fund financial statements will accompany Management\'s Discussion and Analysis and the government-wide statements. The fund financial statements are used to report additional detailed information about the primary government not found in the government-wide statement.

List any extraordinary and special items. c. Review the Statement of Cash Flows for the proprietary funds. List the four categories of cash flows. Are they the same as shown in the text? Are interest receipts reported as cash flows from investing activities? Are interest payments shown as financing activities? Is the direct method used? Is a reconciliation shown from operating income to net cash provided by operations? Are capital assets acquired from financing activities shown as decreases in cash flows from financing activities? Does the ending cash balance agree with the cash balance shown in the Statement of Net Position (note that restricted assets may be included)? d.

Review several of your peers’ posts. Respond to two peers who did not choose the same tool as you. JOHNNY'S POST: Select one of the following tools: Cummings and Worley’s five dimensions of leading and managing change. Explain how a leader could use this tool in guiding an organizational change. I believe all leaders could help their organization by learning the five dimensions of leading and managing effective change. As stated in the text, 2016, “Those dimensions include motivating change, creating a vision, developing political support, managing the transition, and sustaining momentum.” (Ch 3.2, Para 20). All five of these dimensions are essential for a business that is going through an organizational change. As a company evolves and expands over time there will be a time where the leaders of the company will have to implement change to stay effective and up to date. The first step of motivating change is very important because people generally reject change. Leaders must motivate the change otherwise the employee’s will not buy into the concept. Creating a vision helps the company understand what their goals are. Without establishing a vision, it would be impossible for people to know what the goals for the company are. This would lead to confusion and most likely low morale. Political support helps the new change become accepted. If there is a lack of support the new change could fail to gain momentum. The transition of change will not happen overnight. I believe the final two dimensions are often overlooked and not implemented in many companies. If the momentum is not sustained most people will fall back into old habits. It's important that leaders periodically check up on progress and reassure its employee’s that the change is working. Reference: Weiss, J. W. (2016). Organizational change (2nd ed.). Retrieved from https://content.ashford.edu/ (Links to an external site.) SARA'S POST: Hey Class, Per Weiss (2016), Cummings and Worley's five dimensions of leading and managing change provide companies reliable guidance and direction for taking steps toward organizational change. These dimensions, motivating change, creating a vision, developing political support, managing the transition, and sustaining momentum, are easy to understand and, if followed correctly, will assist in a smooth transition in what could serve as an otherwise chaotic period (Weiss, 2016). Motivating Change I appreciate that Weiss (2016) acknowledges that many people are resistant to change. Often, when employees or stakeholders initially learn about upcoming changes, their first reaction is one of hesitation and insecurity. Employers should offer buy-in to a new direction. Offer a compelling reason for the change, proving the move is positive and beneficial. A one-on-one conversation with employees will provide a sense of security and personalize how the change will impact their position. Creating a Vision Many ar.

Review several of your classmates’ posts. Provide a substantive response to at least two of your peers in a minimum of 300 words (each reply), by Day 7 (Monday). Based on your understanding of the reading, add important information to the conversation. How are your experiences similar to or different than those offered by your peers? How might damage to different parts of the brain impact various processes related to sensation and perception? Can you offer additional examples of social or cultural differences in childrearing that might impact outcomes? Peer 1 (Jennie): Sensation and perception both play a significant role in the sensory of how our brain functions. Perception is the way individuals see things or situations. Viewpoints may vary based on several things, including one’s environment, culture, traditions, and senses. That is when sensations come into play; seeing, touching, hearing, tasting, and feeling are all part of our sensory system. As mentioned by LeFrançois (2020), “Strictly speaking, sensation is the immediate response of our senses to sensory stimulation; perception is the brain’s interpretation of the signals it receives from its various sensory systems” (chapter 3.1). Human development includes a variety other than just genes and science. Erik Erikson is a psychologist who has been examining the interaction between genes (nature) and environment (nurture). Different backgrounds impact nutrition and physical development because not every child is raised in similar homes. One household can have customs of bike riding every night and include full servings of vegetables in every meal. Another house might have movie night along with a full bar of snacks and treats on the daily. The nutritional and physical development of the children in each household will be different because of the home environment. Social development is affected by childcare arrangements, culture, and traditions of the parents. The movie Babies [Streaming video], demonstrates how culture is a part of this development and precisely how nurture is the primary variable. When it comes to parenting styles and emotional development, the main thing to consider is the parent’s childhood. There are four categories into which parents fall under, each one having a different impact on how children emotionally develop. The different styles are; autonomous, usually, have securely attached children. There is dismissing and preoccupied parents, who typically have insecurely attached children, and unresolved who likely manifest disorganized-disoriented attachment. This development is influenced by both nature and nurture but develops positively or negatively depending on the child’s environment. The relationship between perception and development is affected by one’s environment, family beliefs, and the way they demonstrate affection. As mentioned in the Parental ethnotheories of children’s learning (2010) book, “Features of childhood such as the lon.

Review of Business Information Systems – Fourth Quarter 2013 Volume 17, Number 4 2013 The Clute Institute Copyright by author(s) Creative Commons License CC-BY 159 Dimensions Of Security Threats In Cloud Computing: A Case Study Mathew Nicho, University of Dubai, UAE Mahmoud Hendy, University of Dubai, UAE ABSTRACT Even though cloud computing, as a model, is not new, organizations are increasingly implementing it because of its large-scale computation and data storage, flexible scalability, relative reliability, and cost economy of services. However, despite its rapid adoption in some sectors and domains, it is evident from research and statistics, that security-related threats are the most noticeable barrier to its widespread adoption. To investigate the reasons behind these threats, the authors used available literature to identify and aggregate information about IS security threats in cloud computing. Based on this information, the authors explored the dimensions of the nature of threat by interviewing a cloud computing practitioner in an organization that uses both the private and public cloud deployment models. From these findings, the authors found that IS security threats in cloud computing must be defined at different levels; namely, at the business and technical level, as well as from a generic and cloud-specific threat perspective. Based on their findings, the authors developed the Cloud Computing Threat Matrix (CCTM) which provides a two-dimensional definition of threat that enables cloud users to fully comprehend the concerns so that they can make relevant decisions while availing cloud computing services. Keywords: Cloud Computing; Security; Cloud Security Issues Taxonomy; Threat Matrix INTRODUCTION ecause a cloud is a collection of inter-connected and virtualized computers (Buyya et al., 2008), the main enabling technology for cloud computing is virtualization. The basic concept of cloud is based on the premise that instead of having selected information systems (IS) resources, such as software and data stored locally on a user’s or organization’s computer systems, these resources can be stored on Internet servers, called “clouds,” and accessed anytime, anywhere as a paid service on the Internet. Cloud computing has the potential to bring significant benefits to small- and medium-sized businesses by reducing the costs of investment in information communication technology (ICT) infrastructure because it enables the use of services, such as computation, software, data access, and storage by end-users, without the need to know the physical location and configuration of the system that delivers the services (Mujinga & Chipangura, 2011). However, it has been stated that organizations adopt cloud computing projects and systems cautiously while maximizing benefits and minimizing risks (Lawler, Joseph, & Howell-Barber, 2012). Cloud computing is expected to play .
