ABSTRACT: This study investigates how the timing of the consideration of Big Data visualizations affects an
auditor’s evaluation of evidence and professional judgments. In addition, we examine whether the use of an intuitive
processing mode, as compared to a deliberative processing mode, influences an auditor’s use and evaluation of Big
Data visualizations. We conduct an experiment with 127 senior auditors from two Big 4 firms and find that auditors
have difficulty recognizing patterns in Big Data visualizations when viewed before more traditional audit evidence.
Our findings also indicate that auditors who view Big Data visualizations containing patterns that are contrary to
management assertions after they view traditional audit evidence have greater concerns about potential
misstatements and increase budgeted hours more. Overall, our results suggest that Big Data visualizations used
as evidential matter have fewer benefits when they are viewed before auditors examine more traditional audit
evidence.
Keywords: Big Data; visualizations; pattern recognition; intuitive processing; deliberative processing.
I. INTRODUCTION
T
he financial statement audit process increasingly involves the use of greater amounts of data and more sophisticated
analytical tools. In order to leverage the value of new data sources and ultimately reduce the risk of material
misstatement, audit firms are now evaluating audit approaches that encompass multiple external and internal sources of
data (Yoon, Hoogduin, and Zhang 2015). Many of the new approaches involve harnessing the richness of information
contained in what is commonly referred to as Big Data. We examine auditors’ use of Big Data to identify relevant patterns that
can be used to inform their audit judgments and decisions.
Big Data consists of large, unstructured datasets that are beyond the processing capabilities of traditional querying tools
and that include data from financial and nonfinancial sources (Brown-Liburd, Issa, and Lombardi 2015). Big Data is generated
on a continuous basis from a wide variety of sources with varying degrees of veracity (Zhang, Yang, and Appelbaum 2015).

optional.
The task
The assignment is designed to assess your understanding of business finance theories and explores a
number of areas within the course by applying your learning to a real company. Through this project,
you need to be able to demonstrate critical and analytical skills in academic writing, various research
synthesising skills and be able to communicate clearly and effectively.
Please note this is a finance assignment for real business, so make sure you have the appropriate
combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis.

the word limit significantly marks will be deducted.
Turnitin will be used to check percent.
FINC 331Week 2 Homework HintsOverviewThis week the hom.docx
FINC 331
Week 2 Homework Hints
Overview
This week the homework is rather more difficult than last week. What is different this week from last week is that most questions require a calculation or the understanding of the formula. That said most of the questions are straight forward. There are a few tricky ones though!
These questions deal with:
Days receivable
Fixed Asset Turnover ratio
P/E ratio, EPS and Stock price computation
Alternative Financing Needed (AFN)
Contribution margin
Days receivable ratio
(aka Days Sales Outstanding)
This ratio considers the frequency with which the company collects on its outstanding Credit Sales in terms of number of days. There are two parts to this calculation: Accounts Receivable (A/R) Turnover, and then the Days Receivable.
Step 1:
A/R Turnover = Credit Sales ÷ Average A/R
A/R turnover represents the number of times the A/R is collected in a year.
Step 2:
Days Sales = 365 days ÷ A/R turnover
Days Sales Outstanding takes the A/R turnover and restates it into the number of days.
Fixed Asset Turnover ratio
This ratio helps analysts determine how efficiently a company uses its fixed assets to generate income.
Fixed assets are things like buildings, equipment, land, etc. They are long-term assets that benefit the company for more than one year. Fixed assets re sometimes called PP&E which stands for property, plant and equipment.
Fixed Asset TO = Net sales ÷ Net PP&E
The “Net” is important in the denominator because it means that the total value of the PP&E must be adjusted for depreciation.
P/E ratio and stock price
(questions #12 & 13)
The Price to Earnings ratio tells us the ratio of a company’s stock price to its per share of earnings (EPS).
EPS is the portion of Net Income that is available for each share of outstanding common stock.
EPS = (Net Income – Dividends) ÷ # of shares outstanding
and
P/E ratio = stock price / EPS
If we know the P/E ratio and the EPS, we can determine the stock price:
Stock price = P/E ratio x EPS
Additional Funds Needed (AFN)
question #14
When a company is forecasting its revenue and needs into the future, it usually creates Pro Forma financial statements. These statements take the goals and expectations that the company has and turns them into dollar amounts on financial statements. If a company expects to grow at a certain rate, and have costs that are a certain amount, it must be able to predict if it can pay for all of its needs. In many cases it cannot and it must seek external financing. We can compute how much external financing is need by simply making sure that the Balance Sheet balances. Remember, Assets = Liabilities + Equity.
So, if we know the net income, the projected increase in assets and projected liabilities plus the retention ratio, we can compute the amount of Additional Funds Needed. The retention ratio is the ratio of the net income that the company keeps and does not pay out as.

Ratio Analysis
OBJECTIVE
You are to assume you have been recently hired by The Company and have been assigned to a team that reports to the CEO of THE COMPANY (SELECTED BY INSTRUCTOR). The head of your team is the CFO who is concerned about THE COMPANY’s current financial performance and comparison against major competitors in the industry and the impact that may have on the firm’s stock price. The CFO would like your team to provide insights that will help them to project future financial performance. Specifically, the primary question to answer is: will THE COMPANY be financially viable over the next two to three years, and which steps should be done to improve its financial stability?
THE COMPANY that is to be analyzed for this project is to be a company selected by instructor.
Alternatively, you can request approval of another publicly traded company. This request must be submitted before the end of the first week of the course. The request must include
· identification of the company by ticker symbol and name
· a reasonable and appropriate explanation of why you want to examine the alternative company
· the source of the analyst's report that will be used in the analysis (which must be submitted to me)
· acknowledgement by you that all of the specific elements of the assignment (see below) will be prepared by you and included in the final research project report

Financial/Netflix Example Response 1.docxResponse to Case 0: Netflix
In an attempt to become the market leader and the biggest player out there and to solidify its position as an internet provider of movies and television shows for both kids and adults, Netflix has made a lot of spectacular moves. However, one that has been questioned is its move into producing its own original shows. Original shows is expensive and Netflix has to pay for it up front. So why did Netflix go into it and was it a good idea? Netflix has plenty of subscribers and they could save a lot of money. Original content is definitely a way for Netflix to strengthen its business model.
One of the first things to consider is Netflix business model. Netflix has customers, products, operations, financials, competitors, and partners in its business model. All are really important to its business model. The originals allow it to make new partners with movie producers instead of using movie studios to buy movies. This should save it 30% to 50% which would improve its financials. Its going to change its operations and its competitors won’t like it. Also, its product would increase.
Netflix is an amazing company that has tons of movies and shows that customers love, and one of my favorites that is an original production is Orange Is the New Black. Because it has so many shows, Netflix has millions of subscribers and these subscribers pay $8.99 for a basic subscription, $12.99 for a standard subscription and $15.99 for a premium subscription. The prices were raised at the beginning of 2019. All of this has made it possible for Netflix to make 15,794,341 thousand dollars in 2018. Because it makes so much money, Netflix should be able to figure out how to make a positive profit instead of a negative one. Original content should help it be able to turn its fortunes around. Many of the original productions are really good shows. This should attract new customers and help it grow its subscriber base. Netflix is probably really good at making new movies because it knows so much about its customers. Netflix is able to track a lot of information about people, which helps it know what people like. This can help Netflix find good shows and movies to produce. This probably why its original products are so good.
Also, one of the things to think about is how Netflix competes with other companies. Amazon and Hulu all have streaming services. Others will soon follow and Apple is one of them. Netflix wants to have something that the others don’t, so it is important for Netflix to make new shows that they own. It helps that Netflix has a great CEO. Reed Hastings has made a great company culture that can be tough at times but really drives good results. This is important to have in the movie industry where people may not work hard. Its culture can help it make sure movies are made correctly or so that people will like them. Also, Netflix will be able to make movies for less money due to the fact that.

FINC 331Week 2 Homework HintsOverviewThis week the hom.docx
FINC 331
Week 2 Homework Hints
Overview
This week the homework is rather more difficult than last week. What is different this week from last week is that most questions require a calculation or the understanding of the formula. That said most of the questions are straight forward. There are a few tricky ones though!
These questions deal with:
Days receivable
Fixed Asset Turnover ratio
P/E ratio, EPS and Stock price computation
Alternative Financing Needed (AFN)
Contribution margin
Days receivable ratio
(aka Days Sales Outstanding)
This ratio considers the frequency with which the company collects on its outstanding Credit Sales in terms of number of days. There are two parts to this calculation: Accounts Receivable (A/R) Turnover, and then the Days Receivable.
Step 1:
A/R Turnover = Credit Sales ÷ Average A/R
A/R turnover represents the number of times the A/R is collected in a year.
Step 2:
Days Sales = 365 days ÷ A/R turnover
Days Sales Outstanding takes the A/R turnover and restates it into the number of days.
Fixed Asset Turnover ratio
This ratio helps analysts determine how efficiently a company uses its fixed assets to generate income.
Fixed assets are things like buildings, equipment, land, etc. They are long-term assets that benefit the company for more than one year. Fixed assets re sometimes called PP&E which stands for property, plant and equipment.
Fixed Asset TO = Net sales ÷ Net PP&E
The “Net” is important in the denominator because it means that the total value of the PP&E must be adjusted for depreciation.
P/E ratio and stock price
(questions #12 & 13)
The Price to Earnings ratio tells us the ratio of a company’s stock price to its per share of earnings (EPS).
EPS is the portion of Net Income that is available for each share of outstanding common stock.
EPS = (Net Income – Dividends) ÷ # of shares outstanding
and
P/E ratio = stock price / EPS
If we know the P/E ratio and the EPS, we can determine the stock price:
Stock price = P/E ratio x EPS
Additional Funds Needed (AFN)
question #14
When a company is forecasting its revenue and needs into the future, it usually creates Pro Forma financial statements. These statements take the goals and expectations that the company has and turns them into dollar amounts on financial statements. If a company expects to grow at a certain rate, and have costs that are a certain amount, it must be able to predict if it can pay for all of its needs. In many cases it cannot and it must seek external financing. We can compute how much external financing is need by simply making sure that the Balance Sheet balances. Remember, Assets = Liabilities + Equity.
So, if we know the net income, the projected increase in assets and projected liabilities plus the retention ratio, we can compute the amount of Additional Funds Needed. The retention ratio is the ratio of the net income that the company keeps and does not pay out as.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
