(a) WorldCom was a major global communications provider based at Clinton Mississippi, but operated in more than 65 countries. WorldCom engaged in schemes directed and approved by its senior management. The company disguised its true operating performance by using undisclosed and improper accounting that materially overstated its income before income taxes and minority interests by approximately $3.055 billion in 2001 and $797 million during the first quarter of 2002. (b) The company also improperly transferred certain costs to its capital accounts; thereby WorldCom's transfer of its costs to its capital accounts violated the established standards of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). As a result, WorldCom falsely portrayed itself as a profitable business during 2001 and the first quarter of 2002. WorldCom's improper transfer of certain costs to its capital accounts was not disclosed to investors in a timely fashion, and misled investors about WorldCom's reported earnings. (c) Conduct an internet search or from the university library to locate article(s) relating to how WorldCom used restructuring reserves (liabilities) to fraudulently manipulate reported earnings. Required: 1) Identify and discuss how the management of WorldCom was able to perpetrate the fraud in (a) and (b) scenarios. 2) In relation to fraud elements, discuss what you can identify to be the primary factors or causes of the fraud? 3) What are the audit procedures that should have helped to identify scenario (b) and (c). .

1: A company should evaluate there flow of information and departments and based in that decide who should have access to what information. Not every employee needs the access to company's important documents. The less people that have access the better. Also, another way that I have seen to prove work is when you have more than one persons authorization needed to access something. When a worked at a company in order for me to access some stuff I would need my supervisor to override for me and if he wasn't available the system required that 2 employees used there logins including mine to be able to access whatever I needed and they could not leave my sight until I was done. Ethical Issues that can come in play while doing school work and installing new system would be to not plagiarize. You don't want to spend all this money to go to school and learn nothing by cheating or using a security system that is easily accessible. If its a system that you can easily get in, a hacker would have no problem. 2: Discuss about most relevant and significant tools that can potentially be used to protect business records of a company? Documents, laptops, cell phones, and storage devices such as usb and flash drives should be secured by being locked up in an office, safe, or cabinet. There should be a limited of employees with access to the key and information. Paper files with business or consumer information must be shredded and discarded. It is better to shred the paperwork in house. A company I had previously worked for used to hire a company to shred their paperwork for them. Everyone would pile the sensitive information into a large locked bin, then the 'shredders' would pick up the bins and dump the paperwork into their trucks for shredding. On one occasion, the person picking up the bins accidentally dropped it and the papers spilled out and blew across the parking lot! Of course, strong passwords are necessary to secure sensitive data as well as encrypting information, establishing firewalls, anti virus programs, and hiring IT personnel. 3: I can say it is very important that all business owners have a method to protect all their records to keep all their paperwork in a safe place. Especially nowadays, i cant speak on how everyone else should run their business, but i can say as far as me trying to become a business owner i will have separate copies of everything that goes on in my business and have it secured in a safe place, or my own personal computer, and etc. In todays world sometimes you cant even trust your own staff so when it comes down to certain customers files i will have them secured so that i am the only one who can view it especially since i plan on opening up a nursing home for the elderly. Their information needs to be kept in a safe place so that not everyone can view their charts. 4: 4:Do you think perceptions of American Muslims and Muslims in general have changed since 9/11?

. Question 1: Figures and beliefs of Greek mythology (including deities) can be identified in many types of Greek art. Cite important examples and explain their significance. Representations of humans in ancient Greek sculpture evolved from static, conventionalized forms to more naturalistic and expressionistic figures. How can we see this progression in examples from different periods? While it is true the Romans were great copiers of the art and architecture of Greek art, they were also inventive and innovative in a number of areas. Cite at least four examples of where the Romans displayed originality in art and architecture and explain specifically how this originality was shown. Discuss the areas in which, you feel, they displayed the most originality, and explain what factors were present in their culture to foster such originality. Question 2: Iconic and narrative images are significant types of early Christian representations. Identify examples of storytelling and symbolism in painted, carved, or mosaic Christian works.
