Audit Research Paper

/in /by

 1. Select an audit case that you prefer.

2. Research the situation using  internet resources like the SEC or PCAOB enforcement actions web pages.  The listed cases will also have newspaper and journal articles  available.

3. Describe the AUDITOR ethical  situation you find. Keep in mind that many/most of these cases also have  an ethical component related to the client’s managers. The paper is to  focus on the auditor ethics. Of course, you may need a brief explanation  of what management did that created an ethical dilemma for an auditor.  For example, management created a cookie jar reserve. The purposely  non-GAAP financial statement in itself is an ethical problem on the part  of the client. Certainly management’s improper action is to be  discussed briefly. The paper’s main focus should be on what the auditors  did about that cookie jar.

4. Research the Audit Standards that pertain to the situation. There may be several that apply.

Write up which standards apply and explain why they are appropriate to the situation.

5. Describe how the auditor did or did not follow the applicable standards.

6. Discuss any consequences the auditor experienced as a result of any ethics lapse.

7. Explain what an auditor should have done and how this might apply to you in the future as an audit professional.

8. Your paper should be 3 – 5 double spaced pages. Use APA formatting and cite at least 2 sources.

 The project in this module follows proper design guidelines and uses Excel to create the worksheet shown in Figure 2 – 1. Every two weeks, the owners of Olivia’s Art Supply create a salary report by hand, where they keep track of employee payroll data. Before paying employees, the owners must summarize the hours worked, pay rate, and tax information for each employee to ensure that the business properly compensates its employees. This report also includes the following information for each employee: name, email address, number of dependents, hours worked, hourly pay rate, tax information, net pay, and hire date. As the complexity of creating the salary report increases, the owners want to use Excel to make the process easier

Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

This assignment will be based on this scenario.

Additional Information

Leroy thinks it is important to use a set of steps from an established change model to guide the change process. He has recommended the OD Action Research model, Appreciative Inquiry, and Kotter’s 8-Step model as potential alternatives. But the VP of HR wants to know all of the details and is also concerned about the potential resistance to change at Red Carpet, so Leroy thinks it’s important to discuss this as well. Red Carpet is seeking long-term success with this change, so Leroy would like you to include a forward-thinking statement regarding the future of Red Carpet after the change. In no time, you and Leroy will be riding the elevator to the 27th floor with a beautiful view of Philadelphia, and he is confident that your collaborative effort will be well-received.

Review the Red Carpet scenario for this course, and with your classmates, discuss the following questions about Red Carpet’s change management plan:

  • In your opinion, which one of the following change models will be best for Red Carpet’s change process: OD Action Research model, Appreciative Inquiry, or Kotter’s 8-Step model?
  • What interventions would you recommend to address the challenges at Red Carpet?
  • Considering the organizational culture of Red Carpet, how could you help the organization use communication to overcome resistance to change?

Healthcare Administration Assignment (DUE TOMORROW)

/in /by

PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING ASSIGNMENT: 

Hospital rating is an important undertaking for primarily the patient and the health care organization. Typically, hospitals are usually rated based on patient experience, process, outcome, patient safety and cost measures. The rating usually based on data derived from government sources like the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) surveys, The Joint Commission, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS); and administered by CMS (WebMD, 2020). Such ratings usually provided a state and national benchmark for the hospitals and helps consumers choose the best facilities from which to acquire health services. The current assessment will compare the ratings of two hospitals in Los Angeles and two hospitals in Kansas City (WebMD, 2020).

The Los Angeles Community Hospital is a popular hospital located in 4081 E Olympic Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90023. According to Medicare.gov, the hospital has an overall star rating of 4/5 and a patient survey rating of 1/5 (Medicare, 2021). Generally, the overall star rating is based on how well the individual hospital performs across various quality areas while the patient survey rating measures the patients’ experience of their hospital care such as the hospital environment’s quietness and cleanliness, the hospital staff’s responsiveness to patients’ needs, and the healthcare practitioner’s communication. Comparatively, the Kaiser Foundation Hospital – Los Angeles, which is located in 4867 Sunset Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90027, has an overall star rating of 2/5 and a patient survey rating of 3/5 (BestPlaces, 2021). However, while the overall star rating could suggest that the former hospital has a better score than the latter this could actually not be the case given that the Kaiser Foundation Hospital’s rating only includes data reported on inpatient services. 

Kansas City is also a home to several large hospitals. For instance, University of Kansas Hospital is a large, private hospital located in 4000 Cambridge Street Kansas City, KS 66160; while St Lukes Hospital of Kansas City is located on 401 Wornall Road in Kansas City, MO 64111 (BestPlaces, 2021). The former hospital has an overall star rating of 5/5 and a patient survey rating of 4/5 while the latter hospital has an overall star rating of 4/5 and a patient survey rating of 4/5 (BestPlaces, 2021). Based on this comparison, the two hospitals located in Kansas City, MO, have a better rating compared to the other two based in Los Angeles City, CA (BestPlaces, 2021). 

In terms of demographics, both the Kansas City, MO and Los Angeles, CA, are the largest cities in their respective states based on the population. Kansas City has the largest overall population of 476,974 (51.3% females and 48.7% males, median age of 35.2) while Los Angeles is home to about 3,949,776 (50.5% females and 49.5 males, and a median age of 35.2) (BestPlaces, 2021). The demographics of the respective cities could also play a critical role in the respective hospital’s rating. 

For this assignment, summarize the ratings in the reading above. Identify the organizations that are rated the highest and lowest and explain the reasons

Topic 1 DQ 1

What are some of the organizational differences between correctional mental health delivery systems? Why is an understanding of these differences important? Is there any particular delivery system that appeals to you more than others?

Topic 1 DQ 2

One of the purposes of incarceration is incapacitation. Incapacitation is the concept that threats to the community are removed through a period of incarceration. So how can we appropriately balance the goal of incapacitation with the role of reintegration that correctional facilities must play? Are these two goals so juxtaposed that correctional facilitates can do neither goal appropriately? Access and read the GCU Statement on the Integration of Faith and Work. Explain how might a person with the Christian worldview approach the balance of the goal of incapacitation with the role of reintegration.
