Task
Complete the question given below.
All workings, when appropriate, must be shown to substantiate your answers.
Question 1 [35 marks]
The regulatory environment for financial reporting
You are a member of a large accounting firm which is responsible for preparing financial reports, including statements and notes to the accounts; and for advising staff in client firms who are responsible for preparing financial reports. The firm only deals with large Australian companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. One of your key tasks is to monitor the changes and developments in the financial reporting environment and summarise them in a regularly published newsletter.
Required:
Prepare a 2 pagenewsletter that identifies and summarises developments and changes in the financial reporting environment for the period January - March 2016, inclusive.
Detailed guidelines for completing this question:
1. Monitoring of changes and developments
This will involve regular monitoring of a number of sources over the required period. The sources should be varied in range, as you will need to identify and consider developments/changes relating to:
· Technical issues such as issue of new accounting standards, exposure drafts or other pronouncements or interpretations.
· Regulation and monitoring of financial reporting.
· Political influences or other potential developments (such as identification of any reporting failures) that could impact or may be of interest to staff (such as Enron or Parmalat failure). 'Political' does not only mean action from politicians – it would also include lobbying/actions by other groups to promote their own interests – for example there may be articles about companies, or particular interest groups such as Group of 100, saying that if certain accounting standards are introduced this will disadvantage or have a negative impact.
You will need to consider both local (Australian) and international sources and developments. A section on 'international' items/developments must be included in the newsletter.
2. Potential sources
Given the scope of the potential influences on financial reporting you will need to monitor a range of sources. Below is a list of sources that may be of interest, note that this list is not exhaustive, you should search for sources outside of these. You should not rely on any one type of source, but a range of sources from each category, i.e. do not just look at websites, also check journals, newspapers etc. Examples of possible information sources include:
(i) Websites such as those of:
· Australian Accounting Standards Board
· Financial Reporting Council
· Australian Securities and Investment Commission
· Australian Securities Exchange
· International Federation of Accountants
· Chartered Accountants in Australia and New Zealand
· CPA Australia
· International Accounting Standards Board
· Financial Accounting Standards Board
· Websites of large accounting firms.
(ii) Professional publicatio ...

Background
ANALYTICAL REPORT ASSIGNMENT GUIDE
An analytical report is a technical or professional document written for business or government uses. These reports use information from surveys, financial records, and other reliable sources to reach conclusions that help reviewers make important decisions. It is different from an informational report because it analyzes a situation and persuasively presents conclusions and recommendations. This type of report is covered in Ch. 10 (p. 250-252) of your textbook (a sample full report is on pages 281-294). A student sample report with instructor comments is also available.
Goals of analytical reports
Depending on the purpose, an analytical report can accomplish one of three goals. Once you have chosen a context and topic, you will need to establish which type of goal you are after. Below are three main types; your analytical report will only take on one type of goal:
To Assess Opportunities
This kind of analytical report informs decision makers about a new and potentially successful endeavor. For example, you could suggest that a retail snacks company consider a gluten-free version to its most popular cookie line. For the report, you would include information on food industry trends and examples of other companies in similar markets. Examples: market analysis reports, due diligence reports
To Solve Problems
Reports that solve problems do exactly what they claim: they solve problems. Using previous examples of similar situations and weighing the options between solutions, you should make clear recommendations to a decision-maker based on the research compiled. For example, a business might be facing higher costs due to recent upgrades and is seeking ways to reduce spending while maintaining sales. What solutions and/or plan of action could be proposed? Examples: troubleshooting reports, failure analysis reports
To Support Decisions
If an organization or business is making a big move in the near future, a report could analyze the effects (both positive and negative) a big decision will have on the organization. If done retrospectively -- as in, the move has already been made and there have been repercussions, good or bad -- then you may use the available data to analyze the move. Examples: feasibility reports, justification reports
Report topic examples:
· To analyze the benefits of adopting a new employee dress code at X company
· To analyze market data and present opportunities for growth in a chosen market
· To introduce an alternative approach to a current problem or issue
· To propose solutions to declining sales
· To justify a current change in workplace policy
Considerations when choosing your topic:
· Choose a context you are familiar with (i.e., a company you’ve worked for, a business you have stock in, an organization you either follow or are a part of)
· Choose a realistic topic – don’t attempt to make something up that is either unrelatable or too extreme (alth ...

Objective
Objective: To analyze the financial statements of a publicly traded company
Obtain an annual report from a publicly traded corporation that is interesting to you. Be sure the company's financial statements include deferred taxes, postretirement benefits, dilutive securities, and share-based compensation.
Using techniques you have learned in the previous weeks, respond to the following questions.
1. What amount of deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities are on the two most recent years on the balance sheet? What gives rise to these deferred taxes? What information is disclosed in the footnotes related to deferred taxes? Please define a deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability.
2. What temporary and permanent differences does the company disclose in their footnotes? What are some other examples of temporary and permanent differences?
3. What is the amount of income tax provision in the two most recent years on the income statement? What information is disclosed in the footnotes relating to income tax expense? Does the company have a net operating loss carryforward or carryback? What are the guidelines for carryforwards and carrybacks?
4. Does the company have a defined benefit or defined contribution plan? What are the key elements of the plan discussed in the footnotes? What amounts on the balance sheet relate to this plan? What are the differences between defined benefit and defined contribution plans?
5. Does the company have leases? If so, what are the amounts and terms of the leases? What are the five tests to determine if a lease is a finance lease? What is the difference between a sales-type lease and a direct-financing lease?
6. Does the income statement contain any separately reported items, such as discontinued operations, in any year presented? If it does, describe the event that caused the item. (Hint: There should be a related footnote.)
7. Are there any subsequent events, errors and irregularities, illegal acts, or related-party transactions that have a material effect on the financial statements?
8. Does the company use the direct or indirect cash flow presentation method? What is the difference between these two methods? How does the cash flow statement agree to the other financial statements?
9. What investing and financing activities does the company have? What are some other examples of investing and financing activities?
10. What noncash transactions does the company have on its cash flow statement? What are some other examples of noncash transactions?

Assignment
You have recently attended a workshop aimed at improving your understanding of company Annual Reports using Tesco’s report as an example.
During the workshop you looked at the following sections of Tesco’s annual report:
· The Strategic Report including the Environmental and Social Review,
· The Corporate Governance Report and,
· The Group Statements of: ‘Income’ (also sometimes referred to as the Statement of Profit and Loss) ‘Balance Sheet’ and ‘Cash-Flows’.
You learned about how different ‘stakeholders’ may use the information contained in these reports and financial statements. You also learned about financial ratios and how these can be used to interpret and assess the performance of a business in terms of its profitability, liquidity, efficiency and return to investors.
The timing of the workshop was very fortuitous. You are the Purchasing Manager for the business you work for. You are in the process of letting a contract for the supply of an important component used in your business’s production. You have been provided with the financial statements of Benedict Co. who are one of a few companies tendering for the contract. The income statement and statement of financial position have been reproduced ...

Technical Report Assignment Guidelines
This report assignment requires you to write a recommendation report on a topic of your choice. A
recommendation report assesses a troublesome or unsatisfactory situation, identifies a solution to the
problem, and persuades decision makers to pursue a particular course of action that will improve
matters.
PROJECT GOALS
The overall goals of this project are to acquaint you with research and the publication process
involved in technical report writing. This is a pedagogical goal: in doing the project, you are to learn
about various professional journals, bibliographic aids, research practices, and directions of
communication. This experience should enable you to study other topics in technical
communication. Likewise, this experience should help you prepare for similar projects in the “real
world” – the world of work that you will enter after you graduate from Bowie State University.
TOPIC SELECTION & AUDIENCE
Your topic will stem from the businesses you have established in the Audience Analysis assignment.
The companies you have created will provide the foundation for this report.
You will write your report to a real decision maker in your company—an executive reader who has
the means to act on your recommendations. As you prepare your report, you should do so with this
reader in mind. In other words, write the report as if that person is the reader. You aren’t required
to directly submit the report to that reader; however, when I grade your report, I’ll be evaluating it to
assess how convincing it would be for that reader. Again, I am not your primary reader.
PROJECT TOPICS
Listed below are your options for topics. You may choose your own topic; however, be

INTRODUCTION
Annual reports produced by companies are a primary source of information about a company's activities over a specific period of time. The information disclosed in these reports is prepared by the company's management and is useful to different users, mainly investors and creditors.
The primary purpose of an annual report is to convince existing shareholders to continue investing in the corporation. However, management may also use the annual report to: (1) persuade prospective shareholders to invest in the corporation, (2) inform financial analysts about the investment quality of the corporation, (3) inform lenders, such as bankers and suppliers, of the credit-worthiness of the corporation, and (4) provide evidence to government agencies of compliance with regulations.
As a manager, you are (or will become) involved in the preparation of financial statements, which entails knowledge of the disclosure requirements. Furthermore, you will most probably use financial statements frequently in your profession. For example, as a manager, you will be the responsible person for the accuracy of the information in the financial statement. As an analyst, you may be asked to advise clients about investments in particular companies. More importantly, as an individual investor you may use financial statements to select your personal investments.
The basic purpose of the Financial Statement Project is to "get your hands d.

Outline For The Consultancy Report
I. Title Page
The title page of a formal report works in collaboration with the cover page to provide a solid
introduction to the consulting report. Your team’s report will certainly have a sense of
permanence; it will likely be filed and periodically reviewed and consulted. Therefore, the title
page should include specific information regarding the report:
• Names of the authors or other contributors, including contact information and the name of
the organization you’re working within.
• A very good and specific title that reflects, as much as possible, the main points of the
report
• The name of the business or organization that your team is consulting
II. Executive Summary
An executive summary is designed primarily to serve the person who, at least initially, does not
intend to read the entire report. It usually states the main points of each section and emphasizes
results, conclusions, and recommendations, usually in around three pages. Executive
summaries are ideally suited to the needs of readers who are seeking advice about a decision or
a course of action. These summaries are called executive summaries because some decision makers
rely wholly upon their advisors to read and evaluate the rest of the report.
For the purposes of this project, the executive summary should be three pages, and should
concentrate on listing the tasks performed by the team. This would involve summarizing
problem/opportunity areas, methodology, conclusions, and recommendations. It’s not a bad idea
to develop an executive summary during the early stages of your team’s writing process, as this
document can help to provide your team some focus. Keep in mind, however, that this will also
be a document that will need to be revised to properly reflect your report.
III. Introduction to the Report
The introduction allows your readers to preview the nature of the project you have undertaken for
your client. Essentially, the introduction forecasts the basic organization of the report. Some
writers and readers insist that the following questions should always be addressed and/or
considered in the introduction to the report:
• What is the problem or the opportunity? Be specific. Whenever you can, quantify.
Describe the problem or opportunity in monetary terms, because the proposal itself will
include a budget of some sort and you want to convince your readers that spending
money on what you propose is smart. Be positive. In other words, don’t say that a
problem is slowing down production; say that it is costing $4,500 a day in lost
productivity.
• What is the purpose of the proposal? Even through it might seem obvious to you, the
purpose of the proposal is to describe a problem or opportunity and propose a course of
action. Be specific in explaining what you want to do.
• What is the background of the problem or the opportunity? In answering this
question, you probably will not be telling your readers anything they don’t already know.

Background
ANALYTICAL REPORT ASSIGNMENT GUIDE
An analytical report is a technical or professional document written for business or government uses. These reports use information from surveys, financial records, and other reliable sources to reach conclusions that help reviewers make important decisions. It is different from an informational report because it analyzes a situation and persuasively presents conclusions and recommendations. This type of report is covered in Ch. 10 (p. 250-252) of your textbook (a sample full report is on pages 281-294). A student sample report with instructor comments is also available.
Goals of analytical reports
Depending on the purpose, an analytical report can accomplish one of three goals. Once you have chosen a context and topic, you will need to establish which type of goal you are after. Below are three main types; your analytical report will only take on one type of goal:
To Assess Opportunities
This kind of analytical report informs decision makers about a new and potentially successful endeavor. For example, you could suggest that a retail snacks company consider a gluten-free version to its most popular cookie line. For the report, you would include information on food industry trends and examples of other companies in similar markets. Examples: market analysis reports, due diligence reports
To Solve Problems
Reports that solve problems do exactly what they claim: they solve problems. Using previous examples of similar situations and weighing the options between solutions, you should make clear recommendations to a decision-maker based on the research compiled. For example, a business might be facing higher costs due to recent upgrades and is seeking ways to reduce spending while maintaining sales. What solutions and/or plan of action could be proposed? Examples: troubleshooting reports, failure analysis reports
To Support Decisions
If an organization or business is making a big move in the near future, a report could analyze the effects (both positive and negative) a big decision will have on the organization. If done retrospectively -- as in, the move has already been made and there have been repercussions, good or bad -- then you may use the available data to analyze the move. Examples: feasibility reports, justification reports
Report topic examples:
· To analyze the benefits of adopting a new employee dress code at X company
· To analyze market data and present opportunities for growth in a chosen market
· To introduce an alternative approach to a current problem or issue
· To propose solutions to declining sales
· To justify a current change in workplace policy
Considerations when choosing your topic:
· Choose a context you are familiar with (i.e., a company you’ve worked for, a business you have stock in, an organization you either follow or are a part of)
· Choose a realistic topic – don’t attempt to make something up that is either unrelatable or too extreme (alth.

Music has long been used by movements seeking social change. In the.docxssuserf9c51d
Music has long been used by movements seeking social change. In the 1950s and '60s, this was particularly true, as successful black and white musicians openly addressed the issues of the day. During the '60s, popular white singers, such as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, lent both their names and their musical talents to the American Civil Rights Movement. In fact, music long assisted those working to win civil rights for African Americans. Freedom songs, often adapted from the music of the black church, played an essential role in bolstering courage, inspiring participation, and fostering a sense of community.
Instructions:
Your PowerPoint presentation should include the following:
• Background and explanation of your special topic.
• Brief background of your American musician/artist.
• The relationship your American musician/artist had to this special topic and the contributions
they have made.
• An explanation of how your American musician/artist connected to and influenced both music
and American society and culture.

Technical Report Assignment Guidelines
This report assignment requires you to write a recommendation report on a topic of your choice. A
recommendation report assesses a troublesome or unsatisfactory situation, identifies a solution to the
problem, and persuades decision makers to pursue a particular course of action that will improve
matters.
PROJECT GOALS
The overall goals of this project are to acquaint you with research and the publication process
involved in technical report writing. This is a pedagogical goal: in doing the project, you are to learn
about various professional journals, bibliographic aids, research practices, and directions of
communication. This experience should enable you to study other topics in technical
communication. Likewise, this experience should help you prepare for similar projects in the “real
world” – the world of work that you will enter after you graduate from Bowie State University.
TOPIC SELECTION & AUDIENCE
Your topic will stem from the businesses you have established in the Audience Analysis assignment.
The companies you have created will provide the foundation for this report.
You will write your report to a real decision maker in your company—an executive reader who has
the means to act on your recommendations. As you prepare your report, you should do so with this
reader in mind. In other words, write the report as if that person is the reader. You aren’t required
to directly submit the report to that reader; however, when I grade your report, I’ll be evaluating it to
assess how convincing it would be for that reader. Again, I am not your primary reader.
PROJECT TOPICS
Listed below are your options for topics. You may choose your own topic; however, be
reminded that your topic must address a particular problem, be researchable, and provide
recommendations. Only two groups may work on each topic, so read the options carefully.
A. A local business (identify the business) has an ineffective website or social media presence.
Based on what you know and what you have learned thus far from your textbook and from
this course, perform research to highlight ways the current website or social media presence
is ineffective and write a report to your primary reader recommending the best solution to

Music has long been used by movements seeking social change. In the.docxssuserf9c51d
Music has long been used by movements seeking social change. In the 1950s and '60s, this was particularly true, as successful black and white musicians openly addressed the issues of the day. During the '60s, popular white singers, such as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, lent both their names and their musical talents to the American Civil Rights Movement. In fact, music long assisted those working to win civil rights for African Americans. Freedom songs, often adapted from the music of the black church, played an essential role in bolstering courage, inspiring participation, and fostering a sense of community.

Importance of the Learning Agreement
Purpose of the Learning Agreement: The learning agreement is designed to ensure students are mindful about the learning expectations in their field placement. It was developed to help students and supervisors/instructors plan a well-rounded experience that will help students meet the learning objectives.
Learning Objectives: The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) requires students gain competency in nine areas of social work practice. These areas of practice are defined as core competencies of the profession. Each core competency requires particular behaviors students should be able to engage and gain competency in. Students should provide examples of activities in the agency they can participate in to help them meet the learning objectives. Some examples of activities are provided. This is not an exhaustive list, so others can be added. Students must have an opportunity to complete tasks in all nine areas of competency.
Connection to the Student Evaluation: Not only is the learning agreement a helpful tool to plan the learning goals for the term, but it connects directly to the evaluation points in the student evaluation. Field Instructors/supervisors will be asked to complete student evaluations. Each student is evaluated on the nine core competencies of social work. Having a solid learning agreement aligns the learning goals with the student’s evaluation, so no areas are missed.
Instructions
Negotiating the Agreement: The learning agreement should be completed by week 3 at the agency. This is a collaborative process, where the .

Murray Bowen is one of the most respected family theorists in th.docxssuserf9c51d
Murray Bowen is one of the most respected family theorists in the field of family therapy. Bowen views the family unit as complex and believes it is important to understand the interactions among the members in order to solve problems. Satir and Minuchin also advanced family therapy with their concepts and models. As a clinical social worker, using these models (along with having an ecological perspective) can be very effective in helping clients.
For this Discussion, review the “Petrakis Family” case history and video session.
By Day 4
Post
(using two concepts of Bowen’s family theory) a discussion and analysis of the events that occurred after Alec moved in with his grandmother up until Helen went to the hospital. If you used the concepts of structural family therapy, how would your analysis of the situation be different? Which family theory did you find to be most helpful in your analysis? Finally, indicate whether Satir’s or Minuchin’s model is the more strength-based model. Why?
The Petrakis Family Helen Petrakis is a 52-year-old heterosexual married female of Greek descent who says that she feels overwhelmed and “blue.” She came to our agency at the suggestion of a close friend who thought Helen would benefit from having a person who could listen. Although she is uncomfortable talking about her life with a stranger, Helen said that she decided to come for therapy because she worries about burdening friends with her troubles. Helen and I have met four times, twice per month, for individual therapy in 50-minute sessions. Helen consistently appears well-groomed. She speaks clearly and in moderate tones and seems to have linear thought progression; her memory seems intact. She claims no history of drug or alcohol abuse, and she does not identify a history of trauma. Helen says that other than chronic back pain from an old injury, which she manages with acetaminophen as needed, she is in good health. Helen has worked full time at a hospital in the billing department since graduating from high school. Her husband, John (60), works full time managing a grocery store and earns the larger portion of the family income. She and John live with their three adult children in a 4-bedroom house. Helen voices a great deal of pride in the children. Alec, 27, is currently unemployed, which Helen attributes to the poor economy. Dmitra, 23, whom Helen describes as smart, beautiful, and hardworking, works as a sales consultant for a local department store. Athina, 18, is an honors student at a local college and earns spending money as a hostess in a family friend’s restaurant; Helen describes her as adorable and reliable. In our first session, I explained to Helen that I was an advanced year intern completing my second field placement at the agency. I told her I worked closely with my field supervisor to provide the best care possible. She said that was fine, congratulated me on advancing my career, and then began talking. I listened for the reasons H.
Mrs. Thomas is a 54, year old African American widow, mother and gra.docxssuserf9c51d
Mrs. Thomas is a 54, year old African American widow, mother and grandmother, who lives with her daughter and four grandchildren (ages 12, 10, 7 and 5) in a 4 story walk up apartment. She is an active member of her church community and friends, comments that she had so much energy that she exhausted all of them just being around her. At age 51, she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Busy with raising her grandchildren, a little more than 3 years went by before she sought attention for her symptoms and was diagnosed. Despite aggressive treatments with chemotherapy and radiation, her diseased progressed and she was considering undergoing a bone marrow transplant. Climbing the stairs to the apartment one afternoon she became very short of breath and collapsed. Her twelve, year old granddaughter called 911. At the hospital she was minimally responsive and in severe respiratory distress. She was intubated and transferred to the ICU. A family meeting with the oncology and ICU team was called to discuss Mrs. Thomas’s advanced condition, the fact that she would probably not survive further treatment for the lymphoma and to develop a plan of care. Fifteen family members arrived, including her daughter, pre-teen granddaughters and grandson, three nieces, four nephews, several friends from her church and the minister. On being asked that only the immediate family participate in the meeting, the family and friends became angry and insisted that all of them be involved in this discussion.
1. The students should focus their thoughts on the dynamics of this family meeting. If you were the nurse in this situation, how would you address meeting? Here are some questions that may help your thinking. W
hat is your impression regarding this scenario? What are some concerns you have with this case? What do you anticipate would happen? How would you handle all the family members and friends wanting to be included in the discussion? There is not right or wrong answer. But remember you need a professional journal to support the discussion.
2. Now think about you being the patient. How would the situation be handle within your family? Have you thought about what kind of care you would want? Does someone know what you would want if you had a catastrophic event? Would family members support the decision maker's decision for for you?

Murder CasePreambleAn organization system administrator .docxssuserf9c51d
Murder Case
Preamble
An organization system administrator was labeled as the key suspect in a homicide case. The accused claimed that he was at work at the time of the murder.
Police Intervention
The police asked his employer to help them verify his alibi. Unpredictably, the same organization, occasionally trained law enforcement personnel to investigate computer crimes and was eager to help in the investigation.
Collaborative Strength:
The organization worked with police to assemble an investigative team, seized the suspect computers in his office and residence, and backup tapes on a file server managed by his employer. All of these evidence were stored in a room to where only members of the team had access.
Harsh Situation
At the initial stages, the operation appeared reasonably well documented, but the reconstruction process was a disaster. The investigators made so many omissions and mistakes that one computer expert when reading the investigator's logs, suggested that the fundamental mistake was that the investigators locked all of the smart people out of the room. The investigators, in this case, were unaware of the situation and unwilling to admit the slip-up.
As a result of the investigators' omissions and mistakes, the suspect's alibi could not work together. Digital evidence to support the suspect's alibi was identify later but not by the investigators. If the investigators had sought expert assistance to deal with a large amount of digital evidence, they might have quickly confirmed the suspect's alibi rather than putting him through years of investigation and leaving the murderer to go free.
Lesson Learned
The case amplifies forensic investigators' requirements to obtain fundamental knowledge of computers, compatible operating systems, and application software programs.
Forewarning forensic investigators to seek the assistance of the system administrator during the criminal investigation.
Scenario
You have been retained as a Deputy Technology officer at the University and charged with the responsibility of developing an Acceptable User Policy for the department of computer science based on this murder case.
Question 1
Use the AUP to amplify the advantages and disadvantages of investigators' quarterly training on most currently used operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, Linux, Sun System, and more.
Scenario 2
The investigators, in this case, were unaware of the situation and unwilling to admit the slip-up. As a result of such omissions and mistakes, the suspect's alibi could not work together. Digital evidence to support the suspect's alibi was identify later but not by the investigators. If the investigators had sought expert assistance to deal with a large amount of digital evidence, they might have quickly confirmed the suspect's alibi rather than putting him through years of investigation and leaving the murderer to go free.

Multimodal Personal Narrative – Develop a multimodal document to bot.docxssuserf9c51d
Multimodal Personal Narrative – Develop a multimodal document to both visually illustrate and verbally express a personal transformation.
Use a one-page newspaper or single-panel brochure format to present a personal narration of a transformation of your choice from a point in your childhood to today. You might discuss a career aspiration you had as a child, transition to the job you held as a teenager, and lastly, explain the profession you maintain today. Use connecting ideas to ensure you have a cohesive essay, which will ultimately (in the conclusion) explain what you learned from this transformation. For example, how and why did you go from point A (job 1) to point B (job 2) and then on to point C (job 3)? Or, you might consider illustrating a transformation based on a way of life or philosophy.
Implement three photos to represent your ideas, feelings, etc., at the three focal points in your life. You may use personal photos, clip art, or other images, but be sure you use and/or attribute them appropriately. For example, you are free to use your personal photos as you’d like, but make sure to choose clip art or other images that you either have permission to use freely or that you cite adequately. Equally consider your document’s layout, such as text sizes, photo placement (near the related essay text), and colors, in addition to how you present your content, to include thesis, support, and organization.
Sample thesis statement:
Growing up in Sedona, Arizona, I was constantly looking up into the clear night sky, viewing multiple constellations and shimmering stars, which had me yearning to reach them—literally—so when I turned 16, I began working as a camp counselor at a space camp, which ultimately led to a career at NASA; my journey taught me that if I reached for the stars, nothing could stop me.
Length:
This assignment should be at least 500 words.

Multigenre Project
EN101O Fall 2019 Dr. Walter
A Multigenre Project (MGP) presents multiple, even conflicting, perspectives on a topic in order to provide a rich context and present an aesthetically appealing product for an audience. Your MGP should reflect the following:
A focus: You should not only include documents that relate to a general topic, but you should ensure that the documents work towards a claim you are making about the topic.
A coherent organization/your entire MGP should be presented in an umbrella genre that best fits your purpose. You should create and organize documents in order to lead readers through the project, to help them understand your focus and purpose. Coherent organization will come out of the umbrella genre you choose for the project. For example, creating a magazine as the umbrella genre that includes articles, images, advertisements, etc. with one focus will provide cohesion to the project. Examples of how you might “package” the MGP include a CD, a scrapbook, a photo album, a patient file, an employee handbook, a manual, a newspaper, a magazine, a website—the options are endless! Just be sure to provide a table of contents (TOC) that offers an overview of and title for each document.
Look at some of the examples posted on D2L for concrete depictions of how this can work.
The Multigenre Project includes at least 8 documents (including an Introduction, Table of Contents, 5 documents of different genres (not including your Introduction), and a works cited page) that offer a sustained argument about your chosen issue. By creating documents in different genres (e.g., editorials, feature stories, brochures, short fiction, charts, scripts, etc.), you learn to write for multiple audiences, multiple (rhetorical) purposes, and multiple forums. All documents/text must be original work you create for the MGP.
Your Introduction serves as a guide to readers, helping them understand the issue you are addressing, offering insight about why you chose the genres you chose, etc. The introduction is your chance to help readers understand why this topic is important, how they should “read” your documents, etc. The introduction may be written as a letter to readers, a magazine article, an editorial, etc.
The bulk of your MGP will be the five documents, each representing a different genre, that helps persuade your audience(s) to your point of view. Aim for a good balance of genres, and be sure at least three of your documents directly use the sources you have gathered from your research. By writing a brochure that utilizes your research sources, a chart or other visual, a story drawing from the information you have gathered, a quiz based on researched sources, etc.—by approaching your research findings in a creative way, your MGP helps an audience understand many different perspectives about your topic. Some of the documents you will include may be more time-intensive than others. But the 5 documents that make up the bo.

Multicultural PerspectiveToday’s classrooms are diverse and .docxssuserf9c51d
Multicultural Perspective
Today’s classrooms are diverse and you will be expected to meet the needs of all of your students. Many of our students come from different cultures, which affects how they learn. We must take this into consideration when developing our lesson plans, making our role as an educator even more complex. As a result, we must be informed of our students’ cultural backgrounds as this includes another element of cognitive understanding that will guide our instructional practices. By understanding student culture, we can gain insight into learning preferences, interests, motivation, and prior knowledge.
Based on the important features of multicultural education found in Figure 4.6 of our text and selecting a specific content standard from the
Common Core State Standards Initiative (Links to an external site.)
(CCSS), develop a learning activity that includes these key features of multicultural education:
Integration of content
– How does your learning activity incorporate content from different cultures?
Reducing Prejudice
– How does the learning activity attempt to minimize any of your own prejudices as well as your students?
Making Teaching Equitable
– How does the instructional approach to your learning activity meet the needs of all your students by recognizing learning styles, interests, and motivation to help achieve academic potential?
Empowering Learners
– How does the learning activity empower all students to work toward their academic potential?
Construction of Knowledge
– How does your learning activity promote different perspectives that validate how culture influences knowledge and beliefs?
Be sure to first provide your content standard from the CCSS followed by your learning activity. Then explain how your learning activity meets each element of multicultural education by providing evidence to justify and support your assertions. Then reflect on your K-12 school experience. Was a multicultural education part of your schooling? What factors may have contributed to the inclusion or exclusion of a multicultural education in your own early schooling? Make sure to incorporate the five key features of multicultural education in your reflection.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
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.

1. Task
Complete the question given below.
All workings, when appropriate, must be shown to substantiate
your answers.
Question 1 [35 marks]
The regulatory environment for financial reporting
You are a member of a large accounting firm which is
responsible for preparing financial reports, including statements
and notes to the accounts; and for advising staff in client firms
who are responsible for preparing financial reports. The firm
only deals with large Australian companies listed on the
Australian Securities Exchange. One of your key tasks is to
monitor the changes and developments in the financial reporting
environment and summarise them in a regularly published
newsletter.
Required:
Prepare a 2 pagenewsletter that identifies and summarises
developments and changes in the financial reporting
environment for the period January - March 2016, inclusive.
Detailed guidelines for completing this question:
1. Monitoring of changes and developments
This will involve regular monitoring of a number of sources
over the required period. The sources should be varied in range,
as you will need to identify and consider developments/changes
relating to:
· Technical issues such as issue of new accounting standards,
exposure drafts or other pronouncements or interpretations.
· Regulation and monitoring of financial reporting.
· Political influences or other potential developments (such as
identification of any reporting failures) that could impact or
may be of interest to staff (such as Enron or Parmalat failure).
2. 'Political' does not only mean action from politicians – it would
also include lobbying/actions by other groups to promote their
own interests – for example there may be articles about
companies, or particular interest groups such as Group of 100,
saying that if certain accounting standards are introduced this
will disadvantage or have a negative impact.
You will need to consider both local (Australian) and
international sources and developments. A section on
'international' items/developments must be included in the
newsletter.
2. Potential sources
Given the scope of the potential influences on financial
reporting you will need to monitor a range of sources. Below is
a list of sources that may be of interest, note that this list is not
exhaustive, you should search for sources outside of these. You
should not rely on any one type of source, but a range of
sources from each category, i.e. do not just look at websites,
also check journals, newspapers etc. Examples of possible
information sources include:
(i) Websites such as those of:
· Australian Accounting Standards Board
· Financial Reporting Council
· Australian Securities and Investment Commission
· Australian Securities Exchange
· International Federation of Accountants
· Chartered Accountants in Australia and New Zealand
· CPA Australia
· International Accounting Standards Board
· Financial Accounting Standards Board
· Websites of large accounting firms.
(ii) Professional publications:
· In the Black (CPA)
· Acuity (CAANZ)
(iii) Newspapers/journals
3. 3. Contents
The restriction of a 2 page newsletter means that you need to
use your own judgement as to whether to include information
about specific changes and developments and how much
information to include. It is not intended that you provide
complete details of changes/developments (although you may
consider in particular cases that more detail is needed). The
purpose of the newsletter is to alert staff to changes and
developments that may impact on their work and provide
enough information about these changes/developments to satisfy
the following:
· For staff (the intended audience) to understand the nature of
the development/change and its potential impact (so staff can
decide whether they need to investigate further given the nature
of their own work),
· Provide sufficient information for staff to be able to obtain
further information on the development/change if they wish to,
· The newsletter should where possible be in your own
words with sources adequately referenced using the appropriate
referencing system.
· Some examples of significant items to be considered include:
· Revised or reissued accounting standards or interpretation
(both national and international),
· ASIC reviews on financial reporting,
· New ASX disclosures for listed companies.
Given the target audience, it would be assumed that they have a
working knowledge of common terms and abbreviations (such
as AASB, FASB) so abbreviations may be used. Don't be afraid
to be creative. The effectiveness of a newsletter is impacted by
how interesting the readers find it.
What not to consider?You need to take care that the
developments and the changes considered and included in the
newsletter are relevant to the objective, in particular the
issues/developments that directly relate to the preparation of
4. financial reports for large companies listed on the Australian
Stock Exchange. The newsletter SHOULD NOT consider areas
only INDIRECTLY related to the preparation of financial
reports such as (and this is not an exhaustive list):
· Fraud,
· Auditing,
· Taxation,
· Other disclosures by listed companies such as:
· Industry disclosures required by peak organisations,
· Voluntary disclosures in the area of corporate social
responsibility,
· Voluntary Environmental disclosures.
4. Format
The newsletter should be in the following format:
· The top of the newsletter must include the title (you need to
decide on what to call your newsletter) and details of the period
the newsletter is considering.
· The newsletter should not read as one continuous 'essay'. It
must include headings and sub-headings that assist in
identifying the nature of changes/developments and help to
guide the reader, and also enable the reader to distinguish
between items of interest and the relative importance of
changes.
· You must refer the reader to specific sources so that they are
able to obtain more detailed information of the
development/change.
· The newsletter must be printed in minimum font size of 11
points (You may wish to use larger fonts etc for headings etc).
You may wish to set your newsletter out using columns but this
is optional. Apart from minimum font size, there are no specific
requirements in relation to line spacing, margins etc. However,
you should note that simply reducing line spacings, margins to
'fit more in' may impact on the presentation and effectiveness of
the newsletter.
· There is no specific 'word limit'. The newsletter must be no
longer than 2 pages. In cases where the newsletter exceeds the 2
5. page limit, only the first 2 pages will be marked.
Do not attach actual articles/printouts of web sources etc to
your assessment. You are only required to include details of
these in the bibliography.
5. Bibliography and referencing
This assessment must include a bibliography rather than a
reference list (this should not be part of your newsletter and
to be given on a separate page). A bibliography includes all
materials used in the preparation of your assignment, not just
those referenced within the paper. The reason a bibliography is
required (rather than a reference list) is that this will provide an
insight into the range and regularity of your monitoring
activities (not just those specifically referenced within your
'paper') which is part of the criteria for assessment. It is
expected that the bibliography will be quite long. The
bibliography needs to include specifics of what you have
actually accessed and read that is related to the area - not just a
general link to a website or newspaper etc. Therefore if you use
a source such as the AASB website, please reference every
article that you read separately. Assessments without a
bibliography will not be accepted or marked.
When citing electronic sources, please include the date
accessed. If you are unsure how to cite electronic sources check
the referencing guides that are available from the library or
online at the student services site. APA referencing style should
be used for all citing format.
Please be reminded that plagiarism is regarded as a serious
issue within the University system with severe consequences for
students who have been found to have deliberately plagiarised,
the minimum penalty being zero for the assignment. You should
ensure that they are familiar with the plagiarism policy and
referencing requirements before commencing assessment.
6. Rationale
The purpose of this assignment is to help you further develop
some of the skills and knowledge required and valued by the
accountancy profession. The task that you will be required to
undertake is similar to the tasks required of a professional
accountant working within the financial reporting field.
Accounting professionals need to ensure they are aware of
current developments and that their knowledge is 'up to date'.
They need to be able to identify changes that have occurred that
may impact on their work and to know where they can obtain
information about these changes. In this assignment you are
asked to provide a summary of recent developments relating to
financial reporting.
As such this assignment aims to:
· Develop the student's ability to identify and source changes to
financial reporting requirements so as to update professional
knowledge required for practice;
· Assist students acquire an awareness of current developments
and changes (both locally and internationally) that may impact
on current and future financial reporting rules and regulations;
· Develop the student's ability to provide written material
appropriate to the accountancy profession;
· Help students appreciate the limitations of the currency of
knowledge in a technical financial reporting area;
· Allow students to understand the relationships between
technical issues and community attitude to financial reporting.
This assignment will assess your ability to:
· prepare basic financial statements for reporting entities; and
· discuss critically and comprehensively the statutory and
professional requirements upon which published financial
statements are based.
