Chapter 6 – Controlling Accounts Receivables
Question 1. Are credit checks performed before terms are granted to customers? Describe the process.
Conducting credit checks is highly recommended prior to setting terms granted to customers. In this way, the business owner would be able to prevent bad debts that would affect the company’s financial status.
To do so, the business must run a credit check on customers. Some private institutions provide credit services wherein they run background checks on individuals. The business may opt to charge customers with a credit check fee and then have them fill in forms where the customers consent to having a credit check run. After the results of the credit check, the business may then decide whether to transact with a customer. If they agree to a transaction, the business sets the terms depending on the customer’s credit background, particularly his or her ability to pay for rendered products or services.
Question 2. What type of sale agreements do you have in place, which are signed before the sales takes place?
Prior to signing the contract, agreements during sales include policies on return and exchange, the purchase price, the description of the product or goods being sold, warranties, description of how the goods will be delivered, and other notes agreed upon by the buyer and the seller.
Question 3. What is your Accounts Receivables turnover?
The Accounts Receivables turnover must be high for the business to ensure that it does not incur bad debts.
Question 4. What is the procedure to receive payments from customers including the receiving of the mail, opening the mail, recording the transactions, and making deposits into the bank?
To receive payments from customers including the receiving of the mail, opening the mail, recording transactions, and making deposits into the bank, the business owner should have initially recorded the terms of the receivable during the time of sale. After receiving and opening the mail, the transactions must be recorded using invoices. After keeping track of the flow of cash through invoicing, the receivables may be forwarded to the auditors and accountant. The business owner would then make a decision on how it would be deposited in the company’s bank.
Question 5. Describe the procedure the company follows when receiving payments from customers. What documents are verified to insure payments match the invoice sent to customers?
When receiving payments from customers, the business verifies the term of receivables agreed upon between the business owner and the customer. To insure payments match the invoice sent to customers, records such as the aging schedule and the general journal may be used to check the invoice using the records.
Question 6. Is there an aging process for all Accounts Receivables accounts to better control receipts from customers and to collect from overdue accounts?

Generation Gaps: Changes in the Workplace due to
Differing Generational Values

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to discuss the
generational gaps that are found in the workplace
today. With multiple generations working together,
and the oldest generation having to work longer and
retire later, generational changes are occurring in the
workplace and for management. There is a lack of
communication and understanding between the
different generations caused through differing values
and goals. Younger generations are also entering
different fields than those that were popular for older
generations. There is a serious new problem in the
workplace, and it has nothing to do with downsizing,
global competition, pointy-haired bosses, stress or
greed. Instead, it is the problem of distinct
generations — the Veterans, the Baby Boomers, Gen
X and Gen Y — working together and often colliding
as their paths cross.
Individuals with different values, different ideas,
different ways of getting things done and different
ways of communicating in the workplace have always
existed. So, why is this becoming a problem now? At
work, generation differences can affect everything
including recruiting, building teams, dealing with
change, motivating, managing, and maintaining and
increasing productivity All of these ideas are
explored, discussed, and evaluated, through looking
at current research on the topic and case studies that
have been conducted not only in the United States but
around the world.
Keywords: Generation gap, workplace, values.
Introduction
Throughout the years, as the population has continued to
both grow and age, it has caused generational changes to
take place in the various aspects of life. With the changes in
the demographics of the world’s population, there have also
been changes in how each group thinks and what they
value. This not only affects the way people behave in their
personal lives, but it also affects the workplace. As
generational changes occur in the workplace, a lack of
communication has caused adisconnect to occur between
the values and goals present among the different age groups
along with newer generations choosing different career
paths.
* Author for Correspondence
In order to understand where these differences stem from,
you need to analyze how each generation is different when
it comes to their beliefs and values. So, it is best to identify
the different groups present in workplace which range from
those born in 1922 to those born in the early 1990’s.

Advocating for Early Childhood Education
· What is advocacy?
Advocacy is how we support our children. We as teachers give advice for our children or we listen. We let the children and families know that we believe in them and we will be there for them. Teachers, admin, staff can advocate for children as long as they are in school. Advocates are also trained people and they are not lawyers. One of their responsibility is to stay up to date with the regulations of the educational laws.
· Why is advocacy important to early childhood education?
Its important to help the families because they might be vulnerable in society. We as teachers need to make sure our children and families are being heard. We as teachers need to make sure their wishes and views are being considered when it’s about their child or family. Its because we are helping the family make life decisions about their children and even their family life. Its also important to make sure we are not judging the family or having or our own personal opinions about what is going on when we are helping advocate for the family, we need to make sure we are stating the facts for the family.
· What is your role as an early childhood educator in making legislative changes?
Our role is to be able to email them or decide how to get a hold of them and let them know our questions, comments or suggestions on things that need to be changed, updated. We need to let them know so we can support our school, children, and families. It is our role as educators to stay aware of the laws. The Federal laws we need to make sure we are aware of the
· Family Education Rights & Poverty Act
· The No Child Left Behind
· Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
With these laws and many more they need to hear from schools in the United States. The federal laws mean we need to address the issues. These issues usually involve infringement of the student’s rights and they are to protect the rights. The state laws depend on the state you are in. The state laws this is where you would go if you have a problem or need to voice about
· Teacher Retirement
· Teacher evaluations
· Charter schools
· State Testing requirements
· The required learning standards
· Much more
Your school board is also a great place to help with policies and regulations and any revisions that need to be done.
· What ethical issues must early childhood education professionals consider related to advocacy and why do those issues exit?
In NAEYC the code of Ethical Conduct and in their it describes how any educator is required to act and what they do and not to do. At times as an educator as staff we tend to do what is the simplest or sometimes, we want to please others but when it comes to this, we must remember to follow our responsi.
Advertising is one of the most common forms of visual persuasion we .docxSALU18
Advertising is one of the most common forms of visual persuasion we encounter in everyday life. The influence of advertising in our society is persuasive and subtle. Part of its power comes from our habit of internalizing the intended messages of words and images without thinking deeply about them. Once we begin decoding the ways in which advertisements are constructed, once we view them critically, we can understand how, or if, they work as arguments. We may then make better decisions about whether to buy products and what factors convinced us or failed to convince us.
What are the different forms of advertising?
Modern media comes in many different formats, including print media (books, magazines, newspapers), television, movies, video games, music, cell phones, various kinds of software, and the Internet. Each type of media involves both content and also a device or object through which that content is delivered.
TEAM TASK:

Adopt-a-Plant Project guidelines
Overview:
The purpose of this project is for you to choose a plant, conduct online research into the biology of the plant, and communicate what you have learned. You will be preparing an annotated bibliography on the plant you choose. The entire project is worth 50 points
Annotated Bibliography (50 points)
You will prepare an annotated bibliography with a list of the top 10 most interesting facts about your plant.
· Each fact should be paraphrased (i.e. written in your own words, no quotations allowed).
· Then tell me why this is interesting to you – make connections to your life or to currents issues in our world.
· Finally, give a full citation and tell me why you think this is a reliable, trustworthy source. Use this libguide to help you come up with reasons why your source is trustworthy.
· At least one of your sources should be from a peer-reviewed, science journal article.
Here is an example:
Fact 1: Taxol is a chemotherapy agent derived from the bark of the Pacific Yew Tree. The chemical itself is derived from a fungal endophtye within the bark. I thought this was very interesting, because the Pacific Yew tree is native to the state of Washington, and my aunt Jane received Taxol while undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. I also thought it was interesting because of the mutualistic relationship between the plant and the fungus.Citation: Plant natural products from cultured multipotent cells
Roberts, Susan; Kolewe, Martin. Nature Biotechnology28.11 (Nov 2010): 1175-6.
This is a reliable source because it is published in a peer-reviewed science journal article, written by two PhDs that are providing a review of the current literature on the topic
To complete the assignment, you should first choose a plant, gather articles discussing your plant, read the articles sufficiently enough to discuss the plant, and finally write the annotated bibliography. You are expected to produce original work, and any plagiarism will receive a zero. The paper should be double-spaced, and typed in 12 point font size, with normal margins. The instructions for how to properly cite your sources are at the end of this handout.
*** Reminder: The scientific name of a plant should always be typed in italics, with the first letter of the Genus capitalized. For ex.: Digitalis lanata. When you search for information on your plant online, make sure to use the scientific name, which will bring back a wider variety of results
The bibliography is worth 50 points and will be graded on:
1. Effort
• Quality of references
•Depth/breadth/quality of material covered
2. Following directions/ requirements
I will use the following rubric to grade your bibliography:
Research, Critical Reading and Documentation
Balanced, authoritative sources; correctly cited sources; effectively integrated outside sources. Most sources from science journals
10 pts
Effective sources, correctly cited, Could have a few more.

Adlerian-Based Positive Group Counseling Interventions w ith.docxSALU18
This summarizes an Adlerian-based positive group counseling program for emotionally troubled youth that integrated positive psychology interventions. The 12-week program used interventions from positive psychotherapy curriculum to increase positive emotion, engagement, and meaning by emphasizing strengths. Sessions focused on identifying signature strengths, cultivating strengths through goals, developing gratitude, processing good and bad memories, and expressing forgiveness as a way to increase social interest. The positive interventions aligned well with Adlerian principles of emphasizing strengths, social interest, and encouragement to help youth overcome problems.
After completing the assessment, my Signature Theme Report produ.docxSALU18
After completing the assessment, my Signature Theme Report produced the following results: Communication, Relator, Individualization, Consistency, and Strategic. When I first saw the themes presented, I was a little skeptical at first but after reading the detailed descriptions I felt like it made a lot of sense and mirrored a lot of what I had already thought about myself.
A core value that I would like to continue to strengthen would be the value of acceptance. One of my top five themes was relator which explained that I have a comfortability with gravitating towards people I already know and building relationships from there. I don’t have issues with making new relationships, but I can see that sometimes I close myself off initially to embracing new ones. With acceptance, you have to understand that there are some situations you can control and some that you can’t but embracing the latter can lead to new experiences that could be beneficial (Riley, 2021). Another core value that I would like to improve upon would be calmness. This fits in well with my theme of consistency. While I am a firm believer of things being fair and consistent, I can get easily upset when things don’t balance out like they are expected to. I know that working on being calm in tense situations will help me adapt easier when things don’t always work out as they should.
One of the strengths that I would like to embrace fully and continue to improve upon is communication. It was no surprise to me that communication was at the top of my list for my themes. When I am in a position of leadership at work, I make it a priority to keep my staff updated on everything that is going on for that night and it is something I expect from my charge nurse when I am working the floor also. A communicator is only effective when they are aware of their style of communicating and how others perceive or respond to it (Marshall & Broome, 2021). As a communicator I know that I can always work on how I communicate non-verbally and with body language especially. The other strength that I would like to continue to work on is of being strategic. The report explained that the strategic theme fit me because I am able to sort through the clutter and find the best route when I am trying to accomplish something. I really believe this about myself because when I have a task I need to accomplish, whether I am in a leader position or not, I will break everything down and reorganize it to make sure I have come up with the best solution. I feel like the best way to do something is the way that makes it concise and without a lot of excess getting in the way.
A characteristic of mine that I would like to strengthen would be that of instinct. My theme of individualization points out that I have an instinct about others and how they work and function. I have always felt that I easily read people and can get a sense of who they truly are and for example in the workplace how they are as a staff member. S.

Advanced persistent threats (APTs) have been thrust into the spotlig.docxSALU18
Advanced persistent threats (APTs) have been thrust into the spotlight due to their advanced tactics, techniques, procedures, and tools. These APTs are resourced unlike other types of cyber threat actors.
Your chief technology officer (CTO) has formed teams to each develop a detailed analysis and presentation of a specific APT, which she will assign to the team.
.
Your report should use
The Cybersecurity Threat Landscape Team Assignment Resources
to cover the following five areas:
Part 1: Threat Landscape Analysis
Provide a detailed analysis of the threat landscape today.
What has changed in the past few years?
Describe common tactics, techniques, and procedures to include threat actor types.
What are the exploit vectors and vulnerabilities threat actors are predicted to take advantage of?
Part 2: APT Analysis
Provide detailed analysis and description of the APT your group was assigned. Describe the specific tactics used to gain access to the target(s).
Describe the tools used. Describe what the objective of the APT was/is. Was it successful?
Part 3: Cybersecurity Tools, Tactics, and Procedures
Describe current hardware- and software-based cybersecurity tools, tactics, and procedures.
Consider the hardware and software solutions deployed today in the context of defense-in-depth.
Elaborate on why these devices are not successful against the APTs.
Part 4: Machine Learning and Data Analytics
Describe the concepts of machine learning and data analytics and how applying them to cybersecurity will evolve the field.
Are there companies providing innovative defensive cybersecurity measures based on these technologies? If so, what are they? Would you recommend any of these to the CTO?
Part 5: Using Machine Learning and Data Analytics to Prevent APT
Describe how machine learning and data analytics could have detected and/or prevented the APT you analyzed had the victim organization deployed these technologies at the time of the event. Be specific.
Part 6: Ethics in Cybersecurity.
Ethical issues are at the core of what we do as cybersecurity professionals. Think of the example of a cyber defender working in a hospital. They are charged with securing the network, medical devices, and protecting sensitive personal health information from unauthorized disclosure. They are not only protecting patient privacy but their health and perhaps even their lives. Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability - the C-I-A triad - and many other cybersecurity practices are increasingly at play in protecting citizens in all walks of life and in all sectors. Thus, acting in an ethical manner is one of the hallmarks of cybersecurity professionals.
Do you think the vulnerability(ies) exploited by the APT constitutes an ethical failure by the defender? Why or why not?
For the APT scenario your group studied, were there identifiable harms to privacy or property? How are these harms linked to C-I-A? If not, what ethically si.

Adultism refers to the oppression of young people by adults. The pop.docxSALU18
Adultism refers to the oppression of young people by adults. The popular saying "children should be seen and not heard" is used as a way to remind a child of his or her place and reaffirm the adult's power in the relationship. The saying suggests that children's voices are not as important or as valid as an adult's and they should remain quiet. Children are often relegated to subordinate positions due to socially constructed beliefs about what they can or cannot accomplish or what they should or should not do; this in turn compromises youth's self-determination. This oppression is further highlighted when considering the intersection of age with race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and sexual orientation. You will be asked to consider all of these when reviewing the Logan case and Parker case.

3. Goodwill:
At Goodwill reconciling 19 stores daily using Vantiv and Excel,
and I’ve posted closing journal entries into Great Plains. I’ve
assisted with the annual audit by finding audit sampling
documents and by auditing stores to ensure accurate credit card
transactions and make sure all our accuracy and compliance
policies were followed. I also audited daily transactions where
there was a cash discrepancy greater than $20.
At Goodwill, I process month-end closing journal entries for $3
million across 19 stores in Silicon Valley using Microsoft Excel
and Microsoft Dynamics. The journal entries consist of the
following accounts: Cash, Donations, Salvage Goods, New
Products, Gift Card Issued, Gift Card Redeemed, and Cash
Over/Under. I’ve also handled the month-end close process at
Atmas Consulting I have prepared cash flow statements, balance
sheets, income statements, and statement of equity at Atmas
Consulting for $20 million in company revenue. I have prepared
month-end reconciliations at Goodwill and West LA Music.
Liked:
At Goodwill, I devised a method to improve the time to
completion of reconciliation by using the filter function. I was
able to organize the financial data chronologically, resulting in
completion twice as fast than managements expectation.
Challenge:
I’ve had the opportunity to train coworkers, and it’s always
been a great way to hone my expertise and build relationships.
At Goodwill I trained a coworker to use pivot tables and
understand reconciliation processes, journal entries, and store
sales audit procedures. My training improved efficiency and
helped us complete projects under deadline. It was gratifying to
help my coworker grasp difficult concepts and advance in his
career.
4. Healthsouk.com
As a critical member of the team, improved Healthsouk’s fund
balance 120% through reconciling and then projecting
previously unaccounted funds. I managed general ledger
activities for A/P, bank transactions, payroll, billing, month-
end, account reconciliation, and accruals.
Liked:
At Peralta Community College I coded 40 invoices per week
into PeopleSoft and performed check runs for up to 100 invoices
a week. I also reconciled 6 funds and $17 million in monthly
transactions using Pivot tables. I worked with internal auditors
on process flow activity to prepare for annual college budget.
Prepared and analyzed monthly reconciliations and researched
joining values for District Office reporting. I reconciled OMB
funds using PeopleSoft and Excel.
Liked:
At Peralta Community College, a big part of my job was helping
college presidents to work within their budgets. I was
responsible for compiling budgets totaling $14 Million monthly,
including meeting operating expenses, along with the other
commitments of four separate colleges. Each college president
had their own priorities and I was under pressure from each to
provide and allocate more money for classes and other district
services. I handled these demands objectively, while keeping
the details of each budget confidential and sharing details with
each respective president and their finance representative. One
way that I managed that pressure was providing each president
5. an explanation of how and why the funds were allocated. This
really made me realize the importance of not only allocating
funds in a fair, efficient way, but also communicating my
decisions persuasively. Challenge:
Disliked:
I am an adaptable team player. At Peralta Community College, I
developed a method to find discrepancies through cross
checking one account with another. I spoke to management
about my observations and explained why I believed my method
would be more efficient than what we were currently doing.
Management decided not to adopt my suggestion; however, I
supported the team’s decision because I believed it was
important to follow management’s directions.
At Greater Opportunities I reconciled payments consisting of
dental payments, day program, and activities and researched
variances related to profit and loss by examining journal entries
and financial statements exceeding $2M.
Results:· Performed collections calls that exceeded $800K in
monthly revenue methodically and thoroughly, resulting in an
80% recovery rate.· Detected $2M in variances by thoroughly
investigating books and subsequently organizing them with
precision and accuracy.· Completed bank reconciliations 3x
faster by automating processes using pivot tables.·
Demonstrated team player attitude by serving as a backup for
accounts receivable.· Delegated work load among team
members based on their strengths and weaknesses to break down
projects piece by piece to ensure deadline expectations were
met and exceeded.· Resolved customer questions, disputes, and
complaints by phone ensuring customer satisfaction.
Liked:
it was peak audit season, and we were behind schedule with two
6. weeks before the deadline. As the accounting assistant, I took
the initiative to discuss the situation with our accounting
manager. We brainstormed some ideas on how we could meet
the audit deadline. One of my ideas was to divide the project
into manageable pieces by delegating work to four team
members instead of two. I persuaded my manager to try this
method. Each person was in charge of a section. I ensured
everyone stayed on track by checking in with each member
before the close of business. With my effort, our team actually
met the deadline 3 hours quicker than management’s
expectations.
Disliked:
I was given a time-sensitive project with eight days for
completion. When I was planning, I did not take into account
that some of the work depended on another department. I
assumed they would deliver the information as planned and
didn’t keep tabs. As a result, the work was set back by two days
and we had to work additional hours to complete the project. I
handled this by taking full responsibility and explaining what
had happened to my supervisor. Then I proposed a plan to finish
the project as soon as possible. We had to redistribute the tasks
and work extra hours, but we were ultimately able to minimize
the delay and salvage our relationship with the client. This
taught me not only the importance of admitting mistakes and
taking responsibility, but also of planning ahead and
communicating with everyone on the team.
At Atmas Consulting I prepared audit schedules for management
and external auditors, researched variances for external auditors
and management to assess comparison of actual vs. budgeted
expenses.
Liked: At Atmas Consulting, I was able to expedite the audit
deadline three times faster than past employees. I reconciled the
7. bank statements by reconciling the Wells Fargo account,
spreadsheet, and MAS 90 systematically. Once I reconciled a
pattern of 5-6 values, I deduced a pattern to reconcile the
property’s credit card accounts within one week. The supervisor
was impressed with the efficiency and it became the standard
about how work should be done at the company.
Challenge: At Atmas Consulting, I was working with a
coworker who was not contributing as much as others, and as a
result it was putting burden on the rest of the team and
prevented in meeting deadlines. I told him that: I enjoyed
working with him, briefly told him his areas for improvement,
offered to compromise on tasks, and then worked with him to
come up with a plan to improve his performance. Six weeks
later, my coworker got a positive review from our supervisor.
The coworker and the supervisor thanked me for helping to
solve the problem. I was trying to foster a team environment, so
I made sure I didn’t take the credit from the co-worker.
