· and a project plan.
You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment it is written for. Additionally, you may create and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.
Documenting the existing IT network and system is an important first step, but you, the CIO, know that capturing the needed changes can be critical to your success as an executive. You know that procuring and documenting quality business requirements is an important step toward the design of quality information systems. Completion of a quality requirements document allows user needs and expectations to be captured, so that infrastructure and information systems can be designed properly. Using the requirements document provided in the course shell as a part of the requirements gathering process, you are to assess the needs of the company as it prepares to become a multinational organization. You must consider current and future trends and requirements; however, assumptions should be realistic and carefully considered. The needs of the organization should be documented. Later deliverables will focus on specifics of all requirements.

Turner & Turner
The following audit report was drafted by a staff accountant of
Turner & Turner, CPAs, at the completion of the audit of the
financial statements of Lyon Computers, Inc. (a public
company) for the year ended March 31, 2014. It was submitted
to the engagement partner, who reviewed matters thoroughly
and properly concluded that Lyon’s disclosures concerning its
ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of
time were adequate, but there is substantial doubt about Lyon
being a going concern. Identify the deficiencies contained in the
audit report as drafted by the staff accountant. Group the
deficiencies by paragraph. Do not redraft the report.
To the Board of Directors of Lyon Computers, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Lyon
Computers, Inc. as of March 31, 2014, and the other related
financial statements for the year then ended. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards that
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
4. As discussed in Note X to the financial statements, the
Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has
a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. We believe that
management’s plans in regard to these matters, which are also
described in Note X, will permit the Company to continue as a
going concern beyond a reasonable period of time. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In our opinion, subject to the effects on the financial statements
of such adjustments, if any, as might have been required had the
outcome of the uncertainty referred to in the preceding
paragraph been known, the finan- cial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Lyon Computers, Inc., and the results of its opera-
tions and its cash flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of
the preceding year.
