The owner is anticipating that new employees will need to be hired, but he is worried that if the large orders for fireworks displays do not continue, the company will not have the funds to pay the new employees. The owner is now considering changing the business entity, but he does not know what entity to form or how to form it.

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.

Background Information and Reporting Task
You are a junior accountant with Factional Ltd, a large, publicly-listed company operating in the high-tech sector. Factional Ltd has recently appointed a new chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr Magnus Bouche, who is due to take up his appointment very shortly. Last night, at the invitation of a friend, you attended a prestigious charity function which, coincidentally, was also attended by Mr Bouche. At one point during the night, you found yourself standing quite close to (but unobserved by) Mr Bouche and overheard a part of his conversation with friends, including his comment that the first thing he intended to do as CEO of Factional Ltd was to “take a bath”.
You are not sure of what it means to “take a bath”, but the conspiratorial tone of the conversation and the fact that one of Mr Bouche’s friends responded to the comment by asking about the likely impact on Factional Ltd’s share price, while another laughed and said something (which you couldn’t quite hear) about Mr Bouche’s put options in Factional Ltd shares, have aroused your suspicions.
This morning, you spoke confidentially to your supervisor in the accounting department of Factional Ltd, Ms Betta Golightly, telling her about the overheard conversation and asking her whether she knew what it meant to “take a bath”. She replied that she had heard of the Big Bath Hypothesis and knew that it related to earnings management, but confessed that she didn’t know about any likely capital markets impacts. She then asked you to conduct some research and prepare a report for her, outlining the following:
i. Possible motivations for an “earnings bath”
ii. How an “earnings bath” may be achieved
iii. Whether an “earnings bath” has implications for a firm’s share price
iv. Whether an “earnings bath” has implications for the value of a firm’s stock options.
Your report will provide the basis for Ms Golightly’s decision on whether the matter should be brought to the attention of Factional Ltd’s audit committee (a sub-committee of Factional Ltd’s board of directors).
Report Requirements:
Report Format: Your report must conform to ‘Basic Report’ structure – see ‘Business Report Handout’ on Blackboard. You should keep in mind that your report is intended to be submitted to the audit committee of Factional Ltd.
Referencing: Your report must be fully referenced in-text and also include a list of references. The ‘RMI.

MBA 640 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of an external capital funding proposal.
Most businesses face a landscape of uncertainty and a never-ending stream of risks and opportunities. Managers must continually project the likely financial
impact of decisions, make recommendations, act on those decisions, determine how to pay for them, and evaluate the costs and effectiveness of what has been
done. Many decisions are short-term, routine, and operational. Others are longer-term investment decisions that require substantial new resources, such as
developing new services, expanding into new geographic markets, or undertaking business combinations or spin-offs. Each requires managers to forecast, plan,
and make decisions based on a thorough understanding of both internal and external factors that can affect a company’s financial success.
For the summative assessment in this course, you will bring your finance and economics knowledge to bear by preparing an external capital funding proposal for
a major international investment at a publicly traded corporation. In order to secure the support of potential financial backers, your proposal will need to lay out
what the proposed investment opportunity is, how it fits within the company’s broader mission and goals, its financial impact, and the amount being requested
and why (including alternative funding mechanisms considered). In addition, it will also need to include information on the organization’s context, risk factors,
and microeconomic assumptions that could affect the success of the investment.
Prompt: Submit a paper that addresses critical element IV, Risks, of the final project. Discuss any risks that might affect the success of the project and how you
have planned for those contingencies.
Note: The risks (and opportunities) you identify should demonstrate your understanding of the company you selected, the industry, the investment project you
are proposing, and your project’s country and timing. Your estimates of financial impacts will be only preliminary; you will most likely revise them in your final
submission at the end of Module Nine.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Section IV Risks:
1. Internal. What are the company’s most significant internal risks and opportunities related to the project? How might they affect your financial estimates
and how will you address them? Support your response with specific examples.
2. External. How will you address significant qualitative risks outside the company that might affect project success? Give specific examples. For example,
how might culture or politics in the target country affect the proposed investment’s financial success? Natural disasters? How have you planned for
these risks?
3. Microeconomic. Assess the microeconomic factors that might affect decisions about the proposed investment. .

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.

Much of what is today called art was not made as art. This is the case not only
with regard
to early European artifacts and monuments, but also with regard
to
objects made outside the West in places where the concept of
art traditionally has
not been recognized. Not infrequently (although less frequently than in the past),
many of the objects from outside the West that
were not made as art are grouped
together and called "primitive art." This is
so
despite the fact that art historians
and anthropologists, among others, have been fussing about the
term
"primitive
art" and its synonyms since the middle of the twentieth century.

In
19^7, Adrian Gerbrands was one of the first to offer a thorough discus
sion of what he called "the problem of the name."2 Yet his proposed
substitute term?non-European art?was also criticized by those in the

The transition from a traditional society organized along feudal lines to a modern society of individuals was a traumatic one marked by tremendous upheaval. Most of the thinkers we have read this term are concerned with this issue and indeed, grappling with the question required new understandings of society and new justifications for social science. Using Marx, Weber, Durkheim explain how they characterized the transition to the modern world and explain what each approach makes visible and what each obscures.

Background Information and Reporting Task
You are a junior accountant with Factional Ltd, a large, publicly-listed company operating in the high-tech sector. Factional Ltd has recently appointed a new chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr Magnus Bouche, who is due to take up his appointment very shortly. Last night, at the invitation of a friend, you attended a prestigious charity function which, coincidentally, was also attended by Mr Bouche. At one point during the night, you found yourself standing quite close to (but unobserved by) Mr Bouche and overheard a part of his conversation with friends, including his comment that the first thing he intended to do as CEO of Factional Ltd was to “take a bath”.
You are not sure of what it means to “take a bath”, but the conspiratorial tone of the conversation and the fact that one of Mr Bouche’s friends responded to the comment by asking about the likely impact on Factional Ltd’s share price, while another laughed and said something (which you couldn’t quite hear) about Mr Bouche’s put options in Factional Ltd shares, have aroused your suspicions.
This morning, you spoke confidentially to your supervisor in the accounting department of Factional Ltd, Ms Betta Golightly, telling her about the overheard conversation and asking her whether she knew what it meant to “take a bath”. She replied that she had heard of the Big Bath Hypothesis and knew that it related to earnings management, but confessed that she didn’t know about any likely capital markets impacts. She then asked you to conduct some research and prepare a report for her, outlining the following:
i. Possible motivations for an “earnings bath”
ii. How an “earnings bath” may be achieved
iii. Whether an “earnings bath” has implications for a firm’s share price
iv. Whether an “earnings bath” has implications for the value of a firm’s stock options.
Your report will provide the basis for Ms Golightly’s decision on whether the matter should be brought to the attention of Factional Ltd’s audit committee (a sub-committee of Factional Ltd’s board of directors).
Report Requirements:
Report Format: Your report must conform to ‘Basic Report’ structure – see ‘Business Report Handout’ on Blackboard. You should keep in mind that your report is intended to be submitted to the audit committee of Factional Ltd.
Referencing: Your report must be fully referenced in-text and also include a list of references. The ‘RMI.

MBA 640 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of an external capital funding proposal.
Most businesses face a landscape of uncertainty and a never-ending stream of risks and opportunities. Managers must continually project the likely financial
impact of decisions, make recommendations, act on those decisions, determine how to pay for them, and evaluate the costs and effectiveness of what has been
done. Many decisions are short-term, routine, and operational. Others are longer-term investment decisions that require substantial new resources, such as
developing new services, expanding into new geographic markets, or undertaking business combinations or spin-offs. Each requires managers to forecast, plan,
and make decisions based on a thorough understanding of both internal and external factors that can affect a company’s financial success.
For the summative assessment in this course, you will bring your finance and economics knowledge to bear by preparing an external capital funding proposal for
a major international investment at a publicly traded corporation. In order to secure the support of potential financial backers, your proposal will need to lay out
what the proposed investment opportunity is, how it fits within the company’s broader mission and goals, its financial impact, and the amount being requested
and why (including alternative funding mechanisms considered). In addition, it will also need to include information on the organization’s context, risk factors,
and microeconomic assumptions that could affect the success of the investment.
Prompt: Submit a paper that addresses critical element IV, Risks, of the final project. Discuss any risks that might affect the success of the project and how you
have planned for those contingencies.
Note: The risks (and opportunities) you identify should demonstrate your understanding of the company you selected, the industry, the investment project you
are proposing, and your project’s country and timing. Your estimates of financial impacts will be only preliminary; you will most likely revise them in your final
submission at the end of Module Nine.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Section IV Risks:
1. Internal. What are the company’s most significant internal risks and opportunities related to the project? How might they affect your financial estimates
and how will you address them? Support your response with specific examples.
2. External. How will you address significant qualitative risks outside the company that might affect project success? Give specific examples. For example,
how might culture or politics in the target country affect the proposed investment’s financial success? Natural disasters? How have you planned for
these risks?
3. Microeconomic. Assess the microeconomic factors that might affect decisions about the proposed investment. .

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.

Much of what is today called art was not made as art. This is the case not only
with regard
to early European artifacts and monuments, but also with regard
to
objects made outside the West in places where the concept of
art traditionally has
not been recognized. Not infrequently (although less frequently than in the past),
many of the objects from outside the West that
were not made as art are grouped
together and called "primitive art." This is
so
despite the fact that art historians
and anthropologists, among others, have been fussing about the
term
"primitive
art" and its synonyms since the middle of the twentieth century.

In
19^7, Adrian Gerbrands was one of the first to offer a thorough discus

The transition from a traditional society organized along feudal lines to a modern society of individuals was a traumatic one marked by tremendous upheaval.

The tragedies of 9/11 marked a turning point in the perception of the word “crisis,” especially to people in the United States who had never experienced such an attack on their own soil. The attacks were also a turning point in the perceptions of crisis management and crisis communications.
A crisis management/communications plan saved the lives of numerous people in the World Trade Center (WTC) on that fateful day. Rick Rescola was head of security for Morgan Stanley, which occupied 40 floors in one of the WTC towers. After the 1993 terrorist attack on the WTC, Rescola formed a crisis management team to try to avert an attack or to help employees survive another attack. The team members were in agreement that another attack would occur, and that it would probably occur at the WTC because of the symbolism of the towers being the tallest in the United States.
Team Rescola, as it was called, determined that the next attack would not be a ground attack, because the garage was protected after the 1993 incident. They even took a test flight around the buildings and predicted the attack would be by air.
Crisis communications was necessary to convince employees and managers that preparations needed to be made and that training for evacuation was necessary, and to explain how it would be done. Subsequently, there were drills. Rescola had lighting put in the stairways, and every person knew where the stairways were.
When the planes struck, WTC security advised all persons that it was safer to stay in the building. Rescola and his team began to evacuate employees. A glitch occurred in that one of the stairways was blocked by debris. Visibility was hampered either by smoke or darkness or both. Survivors and some of Rescola’s team members, consultants who were not in the building at the time, told the History Channel that team Rescola went to each floor and yelled, “Is anyone here?” If so, they led them out by alternate stairways. They say the team saved 95 percent of the total number of Morgan Stanley employees.
However, there was not enough time for them to reach every floor. Rescola and some of his team members died when the buildings collapsed. His wife said, when she saw the buildings go down on television, she knew her husband was there still trying to get everyone out.
Questions
1. Consider the Rescola story, what should offices in skyscrapers and large buildings do other than plan for evacuations?
2. Imagine the employees who objected to the training: what would be persuasive messages to them?
3. The 1993 attack was considered a prodrome by Rescola. Why didn't others see it?
4. In a crisis situation, using the image restoration theory, how could an organization determine which publics should receive which messages? Why would you send different messages to different publics?

The American poet, Emily Dickinson, had a sad life in which she suffered from health problems and succession of losses. These tragic deaths of her beloved ones affected her writing and style of expression. It can be seen that there is a recurrence of the theme death and immortality in her poems. She imagines death in a lot of different ways such as a buzzing fly. This research paper will tackle her style in several poems such as “I felt a funeral in my brain”, “Because I could not stop for Death”, “I heard a fly buzz when I died” and “my life closed twice before it’s close”

Are Graphic Novels Literature: MAUS: a Survivor’s Tale as a Model
Literature has an ever-broadening definition. Oxford advanced learner’s English dictionary defines literature as a piece of writing that is valued as a work of art. With such a broad definition who is to say that newspapers, graffiti, advertisement and even shopping lists are not literature. For many years graphic novels have been considered immature and lacking of literary qualities and the debate of whether or not they are a form of literature has been put on pause. After the winning of Art Spiegelman’s graphic novel Maus: a Survivor’s Tale with Pulitzer’s literary prize, and Alan Moore’s graphic novel Watchmen being listed as one of all-time best novels by Time magazine, the subject has been opened for debate again.
This research aims to address the highly controversial topic of whether graphic novels are literature or not, and intends to answer the question by conducting a study on Art Spiegelman’s graphic novel Maus: a Survivor’s Tale. The presented research will try to answer the main question Are Graphic Novels Literature?. The research will study Maus: a Survivor’s Tale by applying elements of literature such as plot, symbols, characters, themes, tone and setting.

In section two Psychoanalytic Listening and Fictions of the Holocaust of this book, the writer provides an analytical review of Maus as one of the best works in Jewish literature. The book gives new information and details regarding Maus and its writer Art Spiegelman which will be of benefit to the research.

10. Albert, CEO of XYZ, Inc., desires to expand the company’s
sales through exports to three (3) foreign subsidiaries. Albert
knows that the target subsidiaries are located in countries that
require transactions to be denominated in the local currencies.
Albert has researched foreign currency risk and knows that
there is accounting exposure in accounting statements,
operating exposure in future cash flows, and transaction
exposure in outstanding obligations. Albert does not understand
how these risks apply to XYZ, Inc. under his proposal or if
there are any mitigating risk strategies available. Albert
requests you, the head of the Risk Management division, to
prepare a report that he can present to the Board of Directors on
the potential foreign currency risk if XYZ, Inc. expands sales
into these markets. XYZ, Inc.’s reporting currency is the U.S.
dollar and the subsidiaries would purchase the merchandise as
inventory items.

Specify accounting exposure, operating exposure, and
transaction exposure. Determine the main financial statement
effects of each type of exposure if XYZ, Inc. expands as
proposed.
Determine two (2) types of hedges regarding foreign exchange
risk, in general, and recommend the most advantageous risk
mitigation strategy for XYZ, Inc. Provide support for your
rationale.
Note:
