Jennifer VanPelt is the assistant chief accountant at BIT Company, a manufacturer of computer chips and cellular phones. The company presently has total sales of $20 million. It is the end of the first quarter and Jennifer is hurriedly trying to prepare a trial balance so that quarterly financial statements can be prepared and released to management and the regulatory agencies. The total credits on the trial balance exceed the debits by $1,000. In order to meet the 4 p.m. deadline, Jennifer decides to force the debits and credits into balance by adding the amount of the difference to the Equipment account. She chose Equipment because it is one of the larger account balances; percentage-wise it will be the least misstated. Jennifer plugs the difference! She believes that the difference is quite small and will not affect anyone\'s decisions. She wishes that she had another few days to find the error but realizes that the financial statements are already late. Instructions 1. Who are the stakeholders in this situation? 2. What ethical issues are involved? 3. What are Jennifer\'s alternatives? Solution Answer:1 . Stakeholders are the people who are affected by the decision. That would be Jennifer VanPelt, her manager, the company, the shareholders, and whoever is in charge of the Equipment account. Answer:2 The ethical issue is malfeasance. If Jennifer VanPelt is dishonest even though it was probably someone else\'s mistake, she is getting herself wrapped up in a problem and making it worse. Plugging numbers means not only is the mistake going to remain, but now the Equipment account is messed up, too. Answer:3 Jennifer\'s first alternative would be to go to the chief accountant and point out the discrepancy. Since the credits exceed the debits, this shouldn\'t be a big deal, because there isn\'t any money missing. Her second alternative would be to ask for an extension due to the discrepancy. The third alternative would just be to submit the numbers, even though they don\'t balance, and say that it should only take a few days to find the problem..

She believes that the difference will not affect anyone’s decisions. She wishes that she had
another few days to find the error but realizes that the financial statements are already late.
Who are the stakeholders in this situation?
What are the ethical issues involved in this case?
What are Meredith’s alternatives?
Solution
Part A
The stakeholders in this situation are:
- the Frazier company, the company and its shareholders.
- Meredith Ward who is employee working at a position of assistant chief accountant.
- Users of the company’s financial statements.
Part B
Meredith\'saction of adding $1,000 to the Equipment account is unethical. The total of equipment
account is intentionally misstated. The misstatement of equipment account by $1000 will also
result into misstatement of other account by $1000 to avoid error that may arise due to
imbalance. If the amount would have been immaterial and there is no intention to commit fraud
(cover up an embezzlement or other misappropriation of assets), Meredith’s action might not be
considered unethical in the preparation of interim financial statements. However, if Meredith is
considered to be violating a company accounting policy by her action, in that case her behaviour
is believed to be unethical.
Part C
Meredith’s alternatives are:
1. Identify the error causing the imbalance though it requires more time than deadline
2. She should honestly inform her supervisor of the imbalance and suffer the consequences.
3. making the adjustment in the next quarter, identifying the error after deadline.
What Answers Do I NeedYou will be presented with four cas.docx
What Answers Do I Need?
You will be presented with four cases involving ethics and public service. In each case, you are not
provided with an answer. Instead, think about these cases and the additional information that you might
want as you prepare for the first discussion of this unit. Pay particular attention to issues of ethics,
morals and values.
Decision 1
Dave really wants to move up in his government department and is sitting for the civil service test that
will allow him to move up to the next grade. The extra pay he will earn from the promotion will help him
support his young son who has medical issues, and as a single dad, Dave believes that anything that
helps him to keep his boy happy and healthy is justified.
As he works through the multiple-choice section of the test, Dave realizes that he does not have enough
time to finish all of the responses. The woman sitting next to him has finished this part and he can see
her answers. Should Dave cheat and copy her answers, in light of his concerns about the extra pay
enabling him to better care for his son?
Things I might want to know:
• Is the son’s condition temporary or chronic? How sick is he?
• Where is the mother and is she also providing financial support?
• Does the woman sitting next to him really know the answers?
• What are Dave’s chances of successfully navigating the rest of the promotion review?
• What is the position Dave would have if promoted?
• How does this situation fit within Dave’s overall values, and will he feel bad later if he cheats?
• Is cheating ever justified?
Decision 2
After a natural disaster, the poorer people of the community were unable to leave the area, and services
such as water, power and transportation disappeared. Police watched over the streets in an attempt to
maintain the peace. However, because relief services did not seem to be arriving quickly enough, the
people were getting restless and increasing vocal and violent about their needs.
In search of food, people began smashing windows in grocery and convenience stores. Some were
taking food to feed their families, while others were seeing this as a free shopping spree for anything
they believed they could later sell. It was difficult to tell who was truly in desperate need and who was
taking advantage of the situation. The police were not outnumbered, but chose to look the other way
because so many people really did need food and supplies. Should the police officers have enforced the
law and stopped the stealing, or were they justified in trying to help those in need?
Things I might want to know:
• How long had it been since the disaster?
• How many people were stealing?
• How many appear to be in real need, and how many are just looting?
• How close are the relief services?
• What is the environment like – hot, cold, wet, dry, etc.?
• Would the police be mobbed by the angry public?
• Is stealing ever justified?

Natalie is struggling to keep up with the recording of her accountin.docx
Natalie is struggling to keep up with the recording of her accounting transactions. She is spending a lot of time marketing and selling mixers and giving her cookie classes. Her friend John is an accounting student who runs his own accounting service. He has asked Natalie if she would like to have him do her accounting.
John and Natalie meet and discuss her business. John suggests that he do the tasks listed below for Natalie.
Hold cash until there is enough to be deposited. (He would keep the cash locked up in his vehicle). He would also take all of the deposits to the bank at least twice a month.
Write and sign all of the checks.
Record all of the deposits in the accounting records.
Record all of the checks in the accounting records.
Prepare the monthly bank reconciliation.
Transfer all of Natalie’s manual accounting records to his computer accounting program. (John would maintain all of the accounting information that he keeps for his clients on his laptop computer.)
Prepare monthly financial statements for Natalie to review.
Write himself a check every month for the work he has done for Natalie.
For Part I of the assignment, identify the weaknesses in internal control that you see in the system that John is recommending. Can you suggest any improvements if Natalie hires John to do the accounting?
Part I should be a minimum of two pages in length. Please use APA format. While there are no required resources, please be sure that any sources used have proper citations.
Part II
Natalie decides that she cannot afford to hire John to do her accounting. One way that she can ensure that her cash account does not have any errors and is accurate and up-to-date is to prepare a bank reconciliation at the end of each month. Natalie would like you to help her. She asks you to prepare a bank reconciliation for June 2020 using the information below.
Additionally, take the following information into account.
On May 31, there were two outstanding checks: #595 for $238 and #604 for $297.
Premier Bank made a posting error to the bank statement: Check #603 was issued for $425, not $452.
The deposit made on June 20 was for $125, which Natalie received for teaching a class. Natalie made an error in recording this transaction.
The electronic funds transfer (EFT) was for Natalie’s cell phone use. Remember that she uses this phone only for business.
The NSF check was from Ron Black. Natalie received this check for teaching a class to Ron’s children. Natalie contacted Ron, and he assured her that she will receive a check in the mail for the outstanding amount of the invoice and the NSF bank charge.
For Part II of the assignment, complete the tasks below.
Prepare Cookie Creations’ bank reconciliation for June 30.
Prepare any necessary adjusting entries at June 30.
If a balance sheet is prepared for Cookie Creations at June 30, what balance will be reported as cash in the Current Assets section?

Case Study Conflicting ClientsTopic Auditing (Confidential.docx
Case Study:
Conflicting Clients
Topic:
Auditing (Confidentiality, Misrepresentation of Facts)
People Involved:
Jennifer Grace, First year member of her CPA firm’s management group
Tom Ward, CFO of Fantastic Developments, Inc., a client
While reviewing the current-year audit working papers of Coshocton National Bank (CNB), the engagement manager, Jennifer Grace, noted something curious. In the working papers related to loan valuation, Jennifer saw that the commercial loan of Fantastic Developments had been randomly selected for confirmation but that Fantastic had not responded to either the initial or second confirmation request. The audit staff disposed of this “loose end” by alternate procedures: examining cash collections (which had become somewhat sporadic) and vouching to underlying loan documentation, including a set of recent (unaudited) financial statements that showed Fantastic’s solid financial position and operating profitability.
Jennifer noted this reference to Fantastic Developments because this private company was also a client of her firm. In fact, Jennifer had served as the audit senior on the prior-year audit of Fantastic. She knew that the company had been struggling for a couple of years and had experienced recurring operating losses. Her knowledge of Fantastic did not reconcile with the discussion in the audit working papers related to the financial statements furnished to the bank.
When Jennifer contacted Fantastic’s CFO, Tom Ward, and inquired about the company’s apparently miraculous turnaround, he was noncommittal and unhelpful. Tom replied that business had picked up. He apologized for not calling Jennifer’s firm himself because he had been so busy, and then he told her that Fantastic had decided to engage another CPA firm for its accounting and auditing needs. Although confused, Jennifer obviously couldn’t reject the possibility that this abrupt dismissal was a direct consequence of her inquiry.
As a result, Jennifer wonders whether the financial statements which Fantastic furnished to the bank as a basis for a loan application are fraudulent. The bank apparently has no such suspicion, however.

AssignmentScenarioAs a security administrator for Always Fresh
Assignment
Scenario
As a security administrator for Always Fresh, you have been instructed to ensure that Windows authentication, networking, and data access are hardened. This will help to provide a high level of security.
The following are issues to be addressed through hardening techniques:
1. Previous attempts to protect user accounts have resulted in users writing long passwords down and placing them near their workstations. Users should not write down passwords or create passwords that attackers could easily guess, such as words founds in the dictionary.
2. Every user, regardless of role, must have at least one unique user account. A user who operates in multiple roles may have multiple unique user accounts. Users should use the account for its intended role only.
3. Anonymous users of the web server applications should only be able to access servers located in the demilitarized zone (DMZ). No anonymous web application users should be able to access any protected resources in the Always Fresh IT infrastructure.
4. To protect servers from attack, each server should authenticate connections based on the source computer and user.
Tasks
Create a summary report to management that describes a hardening technique that addresses each issue listed above. Provide rationale for each selection.

Assignment Instructions:
You are the Partner‐in‐Charge of a large metropolitan office of a regional public accounting firm. Two members of your professional staff have come to you to discuss problems that may affect the firm’s independence. Neither of these situations has been specifically answered by the AICPA Professional Ethics Division. Therefore, you must reach your own conclusions as to what to advise your staff members, and what actions, if any, are to be taken by the firm.
For each of the following two cases, answer the following questions:
a.
Set forth arguments indicating that the firm’s independence has not been impaired.
b.
Set forth arguments indicating that the firm’s independence has been impaired.
c.
Express your personal opinion. Identify those arguments from part (a) or part (b) that you found most persuasive. If you believe that the firm’s independence has been impaired, make suggestions about how the problem might be resolved.
Case1:
Don Moore, a partner in the firm, has recently moved into a condominium which he shares with his girlfriend, Joan Scott. Don owns the condominium and pays all the expenses relating to its maintenance. Otherwise, the two are self‐supporting. Joan is a stockbroker, and recently she has started acquiring shares in one of the audit clients of this office of the public accounting firm. The shares are held in her (Joan’s) name. At present, the shares are not material in relation to her net worth.
Case2:
Mary Reed, a new staff auditor with the firm, has recently separated from her husband. Mary has filed for divorce, but the divorce cannot become final for at least five months. The property settlement is being bitterly contested. Mary’s husband has always resented her professional career and has just used community property to acquire one share of common stock in each of the publicly owned companies audited by the office in which Mary works.

Regulatory Complaints Case Scenarios
Discuss the following case scenarios and questions in your Learning Team to complete the Regulatory Complaints Summary Learning Team assignment due in Week 4.
Case 1
Mariah B., an LMFT, worked with a client for over 2 years and no longer sees him. The client presented with generalized anxiety disorder, which reduced in frequency and severity of anxiety after working with Mariah B. Mariah B. was out in a busy part of town one weekend and saw the client. The client came up to her and thanked her for all the work that was done to help him better manage the disorder. Mariah B. accepted the thank you and told her former client, “If you ever need me again, do not hesitate to contact me.”
After several weeks, Mariah B. received a phone call from her former client. She returned the call and found out that the client had a romantic interest in her. Mariah B. noticed that she felt the same way and initiated the personal relationship with the former client. For 2 years, she pursued this client through e-mails, phone calls, and meetings at a local coffee shop.
· What are the potential legal issues that would apply?
· What other extenuating circumstances might be relevant?
· What other information would you need to know to make a decision on her conduct?
· Could the client lodge a complaint?
Case 2
Dominic A., an LMFT, had several discussions with a current client about the possibility of terminating the therapeutic relationship and the possibility of establishing a friendship after therapy. He said that the symptom presentation was minimal and that he treated the client more like a friend to begin with. Many times they talked about events in each other’s lives more than the minimal adjustment symptoms. After terminating therapy, Dominic A. began talking to the client on the phone socially. The two never saw each other in person, and the phone calls lasted for approximately 4 months.
· What are the potential legal issues that would apply?
· What other extenuating circumstances might be relevant?
· What other information would you need to know to make a decision on his conduct?
· Could the client lodge a complaint?
Case 3
Jane Allen P., an LMFT, informed her client that the client’s health insurance was not covering her therapy fee. Jane already knew that the client could not afford to pay, so she got creative and ethical at the same time. To avoid a lapse in treatment and issues of client abandonment, Jane decided to allow the insurance company to continue to bill at the same rate and allow the client to discontinue the $10 co-pay. Jane considered this to fulfill her pro bono requirements.
The client continued to bill her insurance company and Jane wrote off the remaining balance. This practice continued many months. Allegations of misconduct were reported to the licensing board.

Discussion 1
Small Business Risk
Tanya's Toy Shop is a small business that makes and sells wooden toys in Detroit, Michigan. The business consists of a manufacturing plant in Dearborn, Michigan, where the toys are created, an assembly area at the back of the shop in Detroit where the toys are assembled, and a storefront area where the toys are sold. Tanya has struggled to keep her business running since the downturn in the economy devastated her home state. Tanya hires out-of-work GM workers to run the lathes and other equipment in the manufacturing plant and hires disabled workers to assemble the toys in the back of her shop. Tanya and her daughter run the storefront, which is open from 9AM to 3PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. They keep the key to the shop in a fake rock beside the door of the shop so the workers can let themselves in to work when they arrive ahead of either Tanya or her daughter.
The equipment that is installed at the Dearborn plant includes a CAD system that runs the lathes and an inventory and order management system that was created by a former employee, who was subsequently fired for stealing money from the cash registers in the shop. Tanya recently learned that he had been arrested and was to be tried on embezzlement charges relating to work he had done for another business following his firing from her business. She was surprised to find him waiting for her in the store one day recently but was happy when he told her that he felt badly and was there to apologize for his behavior and was looking for development work while he was out on bail. She took his contact information and told him she would let him know if she needed any support with the software he had developed.
Tanya, in her attempt to keep the business alive and to prevent job loss for her family of workers, has cut corners in all other areas of the business. She has eliminated the consultants who were helping support the IT infrastructure at the manufacturing plant. She runs the shop with a manual cash register and stores receipts in a canvas bag and has begun doing her own taxes because she can no longer afford the services of an accountant. She is so overwhelmed with her financial situation that she took out a second mortgage on her house and filed an extension on her taxes because she just cannot cope with trying to figure out why it seems as though business is better than what is showing up in her cash receipts.
Use the study materials and engage in any research needed to fill in knowledge gaps. Discuss the following:
· Where are the areas of vulnerability identified in this scenario?
· What is the total risk associated with the developer turned embezzler that Tanya may not have yet discovered?
· How would you approach determining exactly what the level of risk is and the potential damage that has been done by the former software developer?

I. Problem
On September 8, 2016 Federal Regulators announced that Wells fargo customers nationwide had been paying ghost fees on accounts they had never signed up for. Employers secretly created about 2 million unauthorized bank and credit card accounts since 2011. The phony accounts earned the bank unwarranted fees and allowed Wells Fargo employees to boost their sales figures and make more money.
The way it worked was that employees moved funds from customers' existing accounts into newly-created ones without their knowledge or consent, regulators say. The CFPB described this practice as "widespread." Customers were being charged for insufficient funds or overdraft fees -- because there wasn't enough money in their original accounts.
Additionally, Wells Fargo employees also submitted applications for 565,443 credit card accounts without their customers' knowledge or consent. Roughly 14,000 of those accounts incurred over $400,000 in fees, including annual fees, interest charges and overdraft-protection fees.
The bank agreed to pay $185 million in fines, along with $5 million to refund customers. Wells Fargo also said it had fired 5,300 people over the past few years due to improper sales tactics. Wells Fargo has the highest market valuation among any bank in America, worth just north of $250 billion. Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA), the investment firm run legendary investor Warren Buffett, is the company's biggest shareholder.
(Elijah - will edit it more (raw) ) “Everything we do is built on trust,” said by the Wells Fargo Chairman and CEO, John, G. Stumph according to their Wells Fargo’s Vision and Values of Wells Fargo. The company’s objectives and mission is to earn their employees and customers trust by relationship. However, their scandal tarnished their reputation. Their fraudulent acts of making accounts without the knowledge of their customers is unethically acted. At first, the managers thought that their workshop has been effectively efficient, since their employees were meeting the quota. However, belatedly they have known that it would harm them in the long-run.
Senior managers develop empowered employees through impressive strategies to have a positive result of an internal motivation. The incentive programs, for example uses higher compensation, better career paths, and recognition awards. Unfortunately, this restricts the employees to define the company by themselves. Employees wanted to personally excel in a company, however they don’t want to be held accountable for their actions. Therefore, they ended up complying with the definition the company implements. Undermining the true value of empowerment purposely made to allow employees to internally succeed, but became externally committed.
That’s why the employees did not feel responsible for unethically reaching the company’s sales goals, because they only followed what is expected from them. “Employees aren’t able to reach their goals, because they need to have their paycheck,”.

Jeff typically makes 75 of his field goals. Steve typically makes 5.pdf
Jeff typically makes 75% of his field goals. Steve typically makes 55% of his field goals.
Suppose they both have the opportunity to kick 3 field goals.
What is the probability Jeff will succeed in making at least 1 field goal? (0.0001)
What is the probability Steve will succeed in making at least 1 field goal? (0.0001)
What is the probability that both Steve and Jeff will succeed in making at least one field goal?
(0.0001)
What is the probability that either Steve or Jeff will succeed in making at least one field goal?
(0.0001)
Given that only one field goal total was scored, what is the probability that Jeff was the one who
kicked it? (0.0001)
Solution
p(jeff) = 0.75 p(steve) = 0.55
p(jess scores atleast 1) = 1 - (0.25)^3 = 0.984375
p(steve scores atleast 1) = 1 - (0.45)^3 = 0.908875
p(both score atleast one goal) = 0.984375 x 0.908875 = 0.89467
p(either jeff or steve score atleast one goal) = 0.984375 + 0.908875 - 0.89467 = 0.99858
p(jeff scores 1 goal and steve none), p1 = 3*0.75*(0.25)^2*(0.45)^3 = 0.01281
p(steve scores 1 goal and jeff none), p2 = 3*0.55*(0.45)^2*(0.25)^3 = 0.00522
thus, p(jeff scores the only goal scored) = p1/(p1+p2) = 0.71.

Write and sign all of the checks.
Record all of the deposits in the accounting records.
Record all of the checks in the accounting records.
Prepare the monthly bank reconciliation.
Transfer all of Natalie’s manual accounting records to his computer accounting program. (John would maintain all of the accounting information that he keeps for his clients on his laptop computer.)

Case Study Conflicting ClientsTopic Auditing (Confidential.docx
Case Study:
Conflicting Clients
Topic:
Auditing (Confidentiality, Misrepresentation of Facts)
People Involved:
Jennifer Grace, First year member of her CPA firm’s management group
Tom Ward, CFO of Fantastic Developments, Inc., a client
While reviewing the current-year audit working papers of Coshocton National Bank (CNB), the engagement manager, Jennifer Grace, noted something curious. In the working papers related to loan valuation, Jennifer saw that the commercial loan of Fantastic Developments had been randomly selected for confirmation but that Fantastic had not responded to either the initial or second confirmation request. The audit staff disposed of this “loose end” by alternate procedures: examining cash collections (which had become somewhat sporadic) and vouching to underlying loan documentation, including a set of recent (unaudited) financial statements that showed Fantastic’s solid financial position and operating profitability.
Jennifer noted this reference to Fantastic Developments because this private company was also a client of her firm. In fact, Jennifer had served as the audit senior on the prior-year audit of Fantastic. She knew that the company had been struggling for a couple of years and had experienced recurring operating losses. Her knowledge of Fantastic did not reconcile with the discussion in the audit working papers related to the financial statements furnished to the bank.
When Jennifer contacted Fantastic’s CFO, Tom Ward, and inquired about the company’s apparently miraculous turnaround, he was noncommittal and unhelpful. Tom replied that business had picked up. He apologized for not calling Jennifer’s firm himself because he had been so busy, and then he told her that Fantastic had decided to engage another CPA firm for its accounting and auditing needs. Although confused, Jennifer obviously couldn’t reject the possibility that this abrupt dismissal was a direct consequence of her inquiry.
As a result, Jennifer wonders whether the financial statements which Fantastic furnished to the bank as a basis for a loan application are fraudulent. The bank apparently has no such suspicion, however.

Assignment
Scenario
As a security administrator for Always Fresh, you have been instructed to ensure that Windows authentication, networking, and data access are hardened. This will help to provide a high level of security.
The following are issues to be addressed through hardening techniques:
1. Previous attempts to protect user accounts have resulted in users writing long passwords down and placing them near their workstations. Users should not write down passwords or create passwords that attackers could easily guess, such as words founds in the dictionary.
2. Every user, regardless of role, must have at least one unique user account. A user who operates in multiple roles may have multiple unique user accounts. Users should use the account for its intended role only.
3. Anonymous users of the web server applications should only be able to access servers located in the demilitarized zone (DMZ). No anonymous web application users should be able to access any protected resources in the Always Fresh IT infrastructure.
4. To protect servers from attack, each server should authenticate connections based on the source computer and user.
Tasks
Create a summary report to management that describes a hardening technique that addresses each issue listed above. Provide rationale for each selection.

Regulatory Complaints Case Scenarios
Discuss the following case scenarios and questions in your Learning Team to complete the Regulatory Complaints Summary Learning Team assignment due in Week 4.
Case 1
Mariah B., an LMFT, worked with a client for over 2 years and no longer sees him. The client presented with generalized anxiety disorder, which reduced in frequency and severity of anxiety after working with Mariah B. Mariah B. was out in a busy part of town one weekend and saw the client. The client came up to her and thanked her for all the work that was done to help him better manage the disorder. Mariah B. accepted the thank you and told her former client, “If you ever need me again, do not hesitate to contact me.”
After several weeks, Mariah B. received a phone call from her former client. She returned the call and found out that the client had a romantic interest in her. Mariah B. noticed that she felt the same way and initiated the personal relationship with the former client. For 2 years, she pursued this client through e-mails, phone calls, and meetings at a local coffee shop.
· What are the potential legal issues that would apply?
· What other extenuating circumstances might be relevant?
· What other information would you need to know to make a decision on her conduct?
· Could the client lodge a complaint?
Case 2
Dominic A., an LMFT, had several discussions with a current client about the possibility of terminating the therapeutic relationship and the possibility of establishing a friendship after therapy. He said that the symptom presentation was minimal and that he treated the client more like a friend to begin with. Many times they talked about events in each other’s lives more than the minimal adjustment symptoms. After terminating therapy, Dominic A. began talking to the client on the phone socially. The two never saw each other in person, and the phone calls lasted for approximately 4 months.
· What are the potential legal issues that would apply?
· What other extenuating circumstances might be relevant?
· What other information would you need to know to make a decision on his conduct?
· Could the client lodge a complaint?
Case 3
Jane Allen P., an LMFT, informed her client that the client’s health insurance was not covering her therapy fee. Jane already knew that the client could not afford to pay, so she got creative and ethical at the same time. To avoid a lapse in treatment and issues of client abandonment, Jane decided to allow the insurance company to continue to bill at the same rate and allow the client to discontinue the $10 co-pay. Jane considered this to fulfill her pro bono requirements.
The client continued to bill her insurance company and Jane wrote off the remaining balance. This practice continued many months. Allegations of misconduct were reported to the licensing board.

Discussion 1
Small Business Risk
Tanya's Toy Shop is a small business that makes and sells wooden toys in Detroit, Michigan. The business consists of a manufacturing plant in Dearborn, Michigan, where the toys are created, an assembly area at the back of the shop in Detroit where the toys are assembled, and a storefront area where the toys are sold. Tanya has struggled to keep her business running since the downturn in the economy devastated her home state. Tanya hires out-of-work GM workers to run the lathes and other equipment in the manufacturing plant and hires disabled workers to assemble the toys in the back of her shop. Tanya and her daughter run the storefront, which is open from 9AM to 3PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. They keep the key to the shop in a fake rock beside the door of the shop so the workers can let themselves in to work when they arrive ahead of either Tanya or her daughter.
The equipment that is installed at the Dearborn plant includes a CAD system that runs the lathes and an inventory and order management system that was created by a former employee, who was subsequently fired for stealing money from the cash registers in the shop. Tanya recently learned that he had been arrested and was to be tried on embezzlement charges relating to work he had done for another business following his firing from her business. She was surprised to find him waiting for her in the store one day recently but was happy when he told her that he felt badly and was there to apologize for his behavior and was looking for development work while he was out on bail. She took his contact information and told him she would let him know if she needed any support with the software he had developed.
Tanya, in her attempt to keep the business alive and to prevent job loss for her family of workers, has cut corners in all other areas of the business. She has eliminated the consultants who were helping support the IT infrastructure at the manufacturing plant. She runs the shop with a manual cash register and stores receipts in a canvas bag and has begun doing her own taxes because she can no longer afford the services of an accountant. She is so overwhelmed with her financial situation that she took out a second mortgage on her house and filed an extension on her taxes because she just cannot cope with trying to figure out why it seems as though business is better than what is showing up in her cash receipts.
Use the study materials and engage in any research needed to fill in knowledge gaps. Discuss the following:
· Where are the areas of vulnerability identified in this scenario?
· What is the total risk associated with the developer turned embezzler that Tanya may not have yet discovered?
· How would you approach determining exactly what the level of risk is and the potential damage that has been done by the former software developer?

I. Problem
On September 8, 2016 Federal Regulators announced that Wells fargo customers nationwide had been paying ghost fees on accounts they had never signed up for. Employers secretly created about 2 million unauthorized bank and credit card accounts since 2011. The phony accounts earned the bank unwarranted fees and allowed Wells Fargo employees to boost their sales figures and make more money.
The way it worked was that employees moved funds from customers' existing accounts into newly-created ones without their knowledge or consent, regulators say. The CFPB described this practice as "widespread." Customers were being charged for insufficient funds or overdraft fees -- because there wasn't enough money in their original accounts.
Additionally, Wells Fargo employees also submitted applications for 565,443 credit card accounts without their customers' knowledge or consent. Roughly 14,000 of those accounts incurred over $400,000 in fees, including annual fees, interest charges and overdraft-protection fees.
The bank agreed to pay $185 million in fines, along with $5 million to refund customers. Wells Fargo also said it had fired 5,300 people over the past few years due to improper sales tactics. Wells Fargo has the highest market valuation among any bank in America, worth just north of $250 billion. Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA), the investment firm run legendary investor Warren Buffett, is the company's biggest shareholder.
(Elijah - will edit it more (raw) ) “Everything we do is built on trust,” said by the Wells Fargo Chairman and CEO, John, G. Stumph according to their Wells Fargo’s Vision and Values of Wells Fargo. The company’s objectives and mission is to earn their employees and customers trust by relationship. However, their scandal tarnished their reputation. Their fraudulent acts of making accounts without the knowledge of their customers is unethically acted. At first, the managers thought that their workshop has been effectively efficient, since their employees were meeting the quota. However, belatedly they have known that it would harm them in the long-run.
Senior managers develop empowered employees through impressive strategies to have a positive result of an internal motivation. The incentive programs, for example uses higher compensation, better career paths, and recognition awards. Unfortunately, this restricts the employees to define the company by themselves. Employees wanted to personally excel in a company, however they don’t want to be held accountable for their actions. Therefore, they ended up complying with the definition the company implements. Undermining the true value of empowerment purposely made to allow employees to internally succeed, but became externally committed.
That’s why the employees did not feel responsible for unethically reaching the company’s sales goals, because they only followed what is expected from them. “Employees aren’t able to reach their goals, because they need to have their paycheck,”.

Jeff typically makes 75 of his field goals. Steve typically makes 5.pdf
Jeff typically makes 75% of his field goals. Steve typically makes 55% of his field goals.
Suppose they both have the opportunity to kick 3 field goals.
What is the probability Jeff will succeed in making at least 1 field goal? (0.0001)
What is the probability Steve will succeed in making at least 1 field goal? (0.0001)
What is the probability that both Steve and Jeff will succeed in making at least one field goal?
(0.0001)
What is the probability that either Steve or Jeff will succeed in making at least one field goal?
(0.0001)
Given that only one field goal total was scored, what is the probability that Jeff was the one who
kicked it? (0.0001)
Solution
p(jeff) = 0.75 p(steve) = 0.55
p(jess scores atleast 1) = 1 - (0.25)^3 = 0.984375
p(steve scores atleast 1) = 1 - (0.45)^3 = 0.908875
p(both score atleast one goal) = 0.984375 x 0.908875 = 0.89467
p(either jeff or steve score atleast one goal) = 0.984375 + 0.908875 - 0.89467 = 0.99858
p(jeff scores 1 goal and steve none), p1 = 3*0.75*(0.25)^2*(0.45)^3 = 0.01281
p(steve scores 1 goal and jeff none), p2 = 3*0.55*(0.45)^2*(0.25)^3 = 0.00522
thus, p(jeff scores the only goal scored) = p1/(p1+p2) = 0.71.

Jim Smith has worked for the ABC Insurance Company for the past twen.pdf
Jim Smith has worked for the ABC Insurance Company for the past twenty-three years. Jim
graduated with a top-notch accounting degree and he also has his MBA. Bar none, Jim is
considered by everyone in his organization to be a brilliant accountant. At issue is that Jim\'s
brilliance may be coupled with just a little too much \"creativity\" when one considers his
approach to maximizing the company\'s profits.
At the end of every quarter, Jim calls up the supervisors of each of ABC\'s insurance branches,
and asks them to estimate their outstanding insurance claims. These insurance claims represent
money that the company very likely owes its customers – i.e., claims are estimates of money
owed at the end of the quarter to ABC\'s customers who are likely to file a claim in the near
future, but who have not yet done so (the total money owed - but still outstanding - is referred to
as a \"claims lag\", since there is a lag from the date on which an insurable event has occurred to
that point in time at which ABC has become aware that a customer has filed a valid claim).
For instance, based on historical experience, at the end of each quarter, Division 1 of ABC
Company estimates that 20% of all claims for that quarter are still outstanding (i.e., an insurable
event has occurred, but has not yet been reported to Division 1). This is the number (20%)
reported to Jim. Being the \"brilliant\" accountant that he is, and in light of his sheer eagerness
to maximize profits for the quarter (and because his quarterly bonus is based on each quarter\'s
profits!), Jim reduces the outstanding claims reported by all of ABC\'s insurance divisions by
10%. In doing so, Jim has effectively reduced the company\'s quarterly claims expenses by this
same 10% --- and voila! -- Jim has also managed a creative increase in his own quarterly bonus.
As you might guess, Jim sees nothing wrong in further reducing the divisions\' company claims
estimates, reasoning: \"Look...they\'re all a bunch of estimates anyhow!\" Jim further opines:
\"Besides, I have a duty to this company and to its stockholders - and that is to maximize
profits!\"
Consider this situation from a virtue ethics perspective. What virtues are at stake?
Solution
Virtue ethics emphasises on an individual\'s character as the primary key of ethical thinking. The
stress is on morals and character and moral behaviour.
Virtues are postivie traits and morals and qualities which are morally good.
From a virtue ethics perspective, Jim is presenting false numbers on a quarterly numbers. This
may also be considered a case of fudging and misrepresenting the data. In other words Jim can
also be said to be lying.
Jim is consciously under-reporting the outstanding claims numbers every quarter, to increase his
bonus. Jim says that he his doing a favor to the company and shareholders, but in reality he is
only concerned about his bonus and workd with the objective of maximizing his bonus.
The virtues at stake are: (1) honesty and .

It is thought that prehistoric Indians did not take their best tools.pdf
It is thought that prehistoric Indians did not take their best tools, pottery, and household items
when they visited higher elevations for their summer camps. It is hypothesized that
archaeological sites tend to lose their cultural identity and specific cultural affiliation as the
elevation of the site increases. Let x be the elevation (in thousands of feet) for an archaeological
site in the southwestern United States. Let y be the percentage of unidentified artifacts (no
specific cultural affiliation) at a given elevation. Suppose that the following data were obtained
for a collection of archaeological sites in New Mexico: What percentage of the variation in
y can be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line? Answer
a.95.7% b.0.7% c.8.4% d.91.6% e.4.3%

It was hypothesized that sensory deprivation inhibits the intellectu.pdf
It was hypothesized that sensory deprivation inhibits the intellectual development of animals. To
test this hypothesis an experimenter used two rats, each of whom had just given birth to eight
pups. One rat and her litter were placed in a large cage with ample space and with objects to
explore. The pups of the second rat were separated from the mother, and each was placed in a
separate cage. These cages were quite small, and the only objects they could see (or hear) were
the four walls and the food dispenser. After five months both treatment groups of rats were tested
in a multiple-T maze using food as a reward. After 20 trials all of the nondeprived pups were
running the maze without error. On the other hand, the deprived pups were still making several
errors in the maze. This latter group of rats frequently \"froze\" in the start box and in the maze
and had to be prodded to move. The experimenter concluded that sensory deprivation inhibits
intellectual development such that deprived rats did not have the intellectual ability to learn a
simple maze.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Jennifer VanPelt is the assistant chief accountant at BIT Company, a.pdf
- 1. Jennifer VanPelt is the assistant chief accountant at BIT Company, a manufacturer of computer chips and cellular phones. The company presently has total sales of $20 million. It is the end of the first quarter and Jennifer is hurriedly trying to prepare a trial balance so that quarterly financial statements can be prepared and released to management and the regulatory agencies. The total credits on the trial balance exceed the debits by $1,000. In order to meet the 4 p.m. deadline, Jennifer decides to force the debits and credits into balance by adding the amount of the difference to the Equipment account. She chose Equipment because it is one of the larger account balances; percentage-wise it will be the least misstated. Jennifer plugs the difference! She believes that the difference is quite small and will not affect anyone's decisions. She wishes that she had another few days to find the error but realizes that the financial statements are already late. Instructions 1. Who are the stakeholders in this situation? 2. What ethical issues are involved? 3. What are Jennifer's alternatives? Solution Answer:1 . Stakeholders are the people who are affected by the decision. That would be Jennifer VanPelt, her manager, the company, the shareholders, and whoever is in charge of the Equipment account. Answer:2 The ethical issue is malfeasance. If Jennifer VanPelt is dishonest even though it was probably someone else's mistake, she is getting herself wrapped up in a problem and making it worse. Plugging numbers means not only is the mistake going to remain, but now the Equipment account is messed up, too. Answer:3 Jennifer's first alternative would be to go to the chief accountant and point out the discrepancy. Since the credits exceed the debits, this shouldn't be a big deal, because there isn't any money missing. Her second alternative would be to ask for an extension due to the discrepancy. The third alternative would just be to submit the numbers, even though they don't balance, and say that it should only take a few days to find the problem.
