You are the newly-appointed CCO for a $34 Billion U.S.-based children’s toy company, which has operations in 70 countries around the world (including Europe, Latin America, North American, and Asia-Pacific). This is your first week on the job, and you’ve already been asked by the CEO, your boss, to perform a high level risk assessment with regard to four key corporate functions:

· Human Resources

· Finance

· Manufacturing

· Sales

Specifically, with regard to these four functions, the CEO has asked you to identify risks based on the four risk “drivers”: 

· legal risks related to failing to comply with key legislation and regulation (domestically and internationally)

· significant litigation trends afflicting the industry

· governmental enforcement actions brought against competitors

· key shareholder issues. 

The CEO has asked you to:

• design      a high-level risk assessment template based on the CEO’s instructions and      to identify at least one risk per function and risk “driver” for a total      of at least 16 risks. Remember that risks are “words” (e.g., “price fixing”      (under the Sherman Antitrust Act) or “bribery of foreign government      officials” (under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act)– there Professor      Crescenzi just gave you two related to Sales, since Professor Crescenzi      used to work for this company, was your predecessor, and is now enjoying a      relaxing life of sunbathing and golf). Each cell of the risk template      should be populated with at least one risk. 
• Prepare      a heat map that plots the risks against the “likelihood” and “severity”      related to the risk impacting the Company. Provide definitions as to      “likelihood” and “severity.” The CEO has asked you to define “high,”      “medium,” and “low” likelihood and severity, respectively. 
• Assign      ownership and accountability to internal functional or business leaders      for “owning” and managing the risks going forward.

Technical Writing – Week 2 Assignment

Definition of a Problem Report

This week you will create a definition of a problem report. Review the steps on How to Write a Problem Statement for Business before you begin. The headings and sections of the definition of a problem report are identified in your weekly lecture video. There are other report formats in the textbook.

The purpose of this report is:

·  to determine if a problem truly exits;

·  to clarify the complexity and various components of the problem; and

·  to allow all involved parties a chance to seek appropriate solutions.

Here are some things to keep in mind about a definition of a problem report:

·  It is not a persuasive report, so please do not try to convince your reader of anything

·  Changing the speed limit on a particular road

·  Upgrading company technology

·  Creating a student lounge

·  Creating a community garden

You should create a 2-3 page report defining your problem.  It must include the following:

·  A title page

·  Headings that indicate major sections (INTRODUCTION, DISCUSSION, CONCLUSION) and subsections (such as Statement of Purpose, Background, and anything relevant to your particular topic; for example, Childcare issues and productivity)

·  Formal language

·  Research

What to submit/deliverables: A completed Assignment 3 XLS Template and a completed Assignment 3 Financial Analysis Explanation Word Template.

What is the value of doing this assignment? One way to check your progress towards your financial goals is to conduct a personal financial analysis. This will help you see how well you have stayed on track with your finances over a period of time. Using technology can help you stay organized throughout your analysis, as well as help visualize financial data. Displaying the data visually will allow you to observe general trends in your personal finances and to communicate about them effectively.

For this assignment you will be using Excel as your technology tool to analyze personal financial data and display that data visually. There are many other technologies available for personal or professional use that can be used for this type of analysis. The approach to learning and working with Excel software in this course is one you can apply to other technology tools in your life and career.

Your goal for this assignment is to: Build your confidence and practice in the technology skill by conducting a personal financial analysis using a technology tool. You will use Excel to organize three monthly budgets, visualize this financial data using charts and graphs/charts, and discuss the results of your financial analysis, including progress towards your selected financial goal from Assignment 2.

Steps to complete: In Week 10, submit your assignment in BlackBoard by following these steps:

STEP 1:Read the following scenario and review the Assignment 3 XLS Template. See Attached 

Scenario: Three months have passed since you created your initial Financial Plan (from Assignment 2). A friend who is studying to become a financial advisor recommends that you check in on your progress towards your saving goal. She volunteers to help you conduct a financial analysis of your personal budget over three months. You meet with your friend each month to go over your analysis. In her studies she is learning that people understand budget concepts better when they are represented as visuals, so she asks you to create some.

In this assignment, you will make three monthly budgets. Your income increases each month, as shown in the tables in theAssignment 3 XLS Template. Additionally, in months 2 and 3, some cells have been filled in with a formula to represent an unexpected expense in that expenditure category for the month. You will need to reallocate your budget around this.

STEP 2: Use the Assignment 3 XLS Template and take the income and expenditures from Assignment 2 to use as your starting point for your Month 1 Budget.

· Remember, that since this is a monthly budget, you will need to divide all of the values from your Assignment 2 annual plan by 12. After you have done this, you will notice that embedded formulas show that your income changes for months 2 and 3, because you received additional unexpected income from other sources.

· You will also notice an increase in your “Healthcare” expenditure in Month 2 as the result of an unexpected medical emergency, as well as an increase in your “Miscellaneous” expenditures in Month 3 because of an unplanned for repair expense.

STEP 3: Fill in the cells of each monthly budget table to show how you would choose to allocate your income each month.

STEP 4: Use formulas to fill in the percentage columns for each monthly budget.

STEP 5: Create three appropriate graphs/charts (one for each month) in Excel to show the findings of your personal financial analysis. Each should show how you have allocated your income among the various categories.

STEP 6: Create a graph that shows your progress towards your savings goal across all three monthly budgets.

STEP 7: In the Word template, explain the reason why you chose the graphs/charts you did. How do the graphs/charts you created help someone understand the financial data?

STEP 8: Also in the Word template, discuss the results of your financial analysis including overall progress towards saving goals, potential changes in your budget that can be made in the future, and possible economic or life impacts that may affect your budget in the coming year.

STEP 9: Finally, in the Word template reflect on what your financial analysis might reasonably look like in a year taking into account income growth and inflation of consumer prices.
