Discuss what you perceive to be the most significant point made by the speakers regarding the auditor’s role in detecting fraud.

5 accounting questions due tomorrow morning. Questions are not related, and should be answered separately with the correlating question number on top. References are required.

Q1

The CEO attended a conference that presented the topics of Economic Value Added (EVA), Balanced Scorecard, and activity-based costing. He has come to you wanting more information about these three topics. Discuss the concept of EVA, Balanced Scorecard and activity-based costing and what their purpose is. Discuss the advantages and the disadvantages of a company’s use of these performance measures. How are these three measures related?

Q2

Please listen and watch the videos found in the Week 5 Lecture on fraud, evidence, and computer sabotage. Briefly discuss what you perceive to be the most significant point made by the speakers regarding the auditor’s role in detecting fraud. See attachments.

Q3

We have very interesting topic this week. Please discuss how does the integration of IT into accounting systems enhance internal control?

Q4

Auditors develop overall audit plans to ensure that they obtain “sufficient appropriate audit evidence.” To this end, auditors employ various types of audit tests, or audit procedures. The extent to which auditors use different audit procedures and the timing of those procedures is a matter of professional judgment, which depends upon a number of factors. Decisions about the mix of audit procedures and the timing of procedures significantly impact the speed with which an audit report can be issued.

What factors will an auditor likely consider when determining the types and timing of audit procedures?

Q5

Please discuss and contrast the circumstances in which the auditor would choose not to test controls with those in which he or she would perform tests of controls.

 

What are your core personal values, those virtues and elements of character that make you who you are?

This culminating activity is designed to help you develop a presentation or project that teaches character through the curriculum and encourages ethical reflection. Your final project may be in the form of a webpage, videography (no longer than 10 minutes), poster, brochure, song, poem, or any other instructor-approved medium.

1. Select one of the following content areas:

  • Math
  • Language Arts
  • Social Studies
  • Science
  • Art
  • Physical Sciences
  • Physical Education
  • Sports
  • Music
  • Modern Language

2. Using your selected content area, design a presentation or project that will help your students develop the cognitive side of character (performance, civic, and/or moral) by (include all of the following):

  • Raising ethical awareness
  • Creating an understanding of virtues of your chosen character type and how to apply them in concrete situations
  • Helping them to take the perspective of others
  • Helping them to reason morally (Why are some things right and others wrong?)
  • Helping them make thoughtful decisions (the virtue of prudence)
  • Helping them create self-knowledge, including the capacity for self-criticism (the virtue of humility)

3. At the end of your presentation, include a final project summary statement that addresses the following:

  • What are your core personal values, those virtues and elements of character that make you who you are?
  • What are your personal strengths as a moral model? More specifically, what moral awareness, feeling, or action do you bring to the classroom or workplace? Your home?
  • Who are you as a future role model or educational leader?

4. Finally, address your future. You are still learning, you will always develop, so look to the future: What’s next? Now that you know more about character, what skills might still remain to be refined or added? What might you want to explore further in the arena of moral leadership?

Examples of project ideas:

  • A video presentation for a science classroom that is designed to teach students how to use character to accomplish tasks through teamwork.
  • A PowerPoint presentation for a language arts classroom that illustrates how a particular piece of literature incorporates character and how this can be analyzed in a literature study.

Describe the issue of exposure to videogame violence in today’s society as related to Greg’s situation.

For his 10th birthday, Greg was given a handheld videogame system. His parents allowed him to pick any two games. They knew the games might contain violence, because there was a violence rating sign posted on the games, but rationalized that they were only games and other kids play them. Greg would quickly finish dinner and run up to his room to play his games.

His parents were pleased to observe that Greg enjoyed their present so much. After a week, his parents noticed that he wasn’t turning off the videogames at bedtime, and had begun turning homework in late. He was up so late playing that he would not get up for school without argument. His parents decided that enough was enough and took the video games away. Greg threw temper tantrums and persuaded his parents to buy him a computer after convincing them that it was necessary to keep up at school. Greg soon returned to the same pattern of behavior where he spent long hours and late nights at the computer. This time, his parents felt a false sense of security that he was doing his homework. One day, his curious parents decided to scan the computer history to see what Web sites Greg was browsing. To their horror, they discovered that Greg was spending many hours online playing interactive, sometimes violently graphic, games on the Internet. He was also chatting with other “gamers”. Before confronting Greg about his behavior, his mother and father agreed to investigate what types of intervention strategies might be available within their community. They have come to you, a behavioral consultant, for advice.
