How has the company performed over the past year in terms of investment, market share,      and profitability? What are the company’s mission and vision statements?

You will continue to research and write a section for the Strategic Audit Report this week by creating three different components under Section II of the Strategic Audit Report (Strategic Posture and Corporate Governance Section).

Researching these areas will help you gain a better understanding of your strategic audit company’s current financial position, what they do and their future direction, and the makeup of their leadership team. Having a firm understanding of where your company is currently will enable you to identify issues that need to be corrected and improved upon for the future.

The company that your strategic audit report will focus on is FedEx. Review the attachment section for more background information on FedEx.

Provided are the guidelines/questions to complete each part:

  1. How has the company performed over the past year in terms of investment, market share,      and profitability?
  2. What are the company’s mission and vision statements? Please ensure the statements are from a valid source, such as the organization’s website. If the company does not have a listed mission or vision statement, then write one for them. Explain what makes a good mission and vision statement and what makes bad ones. Use a reference (correctly cited) to support your explanation/perspective. Then explain if your company’s mission and vision statement (or the one you have written for them) is a good one or a bad one and why.

Review the link for the following video explaining how to write a mission and vision statement. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2MyaR0gMo0)

3.   List the company’s board of directors by name, if they are internal or external board members,          what year they were elected to the board, what they do on the board for your company, and what their level of management is.

Parts 1, 2, and 3 of your assignment should be one page in length each.

· All pages should be double-spaced, with sources cited and referenced using current APA formatting.

· You should have a total of three (3) pages upon completion of all parts. Compile all pages of your document to submit to this assignment.

Identify a barrier that might make it difficult to implement the solution-focused model with the client described. Discuss how a social worker could help a client re-focus on the present rather than on their past.

Social workers who utilize the solution-focused model are mindful of how their conversations with their clients, families, groups or even community members facilitate their thinking about solutions. The client is always the “expert,” and therefore, social workers ask questions to explore how the client perceives the problem and situation.

Respond to two colleagues:

Identify a barrier that might make it difficult to implement the solution-focused model with the client described.

Discuss how a social worker could help a client re-focus on the present rather than on their past.

In discussing your position, in favor or against, ensure you are explicit about explaining what are the ethical dilemmas that affect the communities involved.

  • Read the assigned articles, and watch the assigned videos.
  • Choose a topic on data management and data privacy that has an ethical dilemma.
    • A non-comprehensive list of potential articles is provided below. 
  • Develop a critical paper where you take a position in favor or against the topic/company you chose.
  • Propose a solution to solve the conflicting interests and move the issue to resolution.
    • This could include legislation, regulation, monetization, or stopping a practice.
    • Be sure to be specific in your recommended action.
  • Develop a stakeholder analysis, what is important to each actor and why? How would your recommended actions impact each group? What could you do to influence a certain powerful group to adopt your solutions?
  • In discussing your position, in favor or against, ensure you are explicit about explaining what are the ethical dilemmas that affect the communities involved.
  • Word count and structure guidelines
    • 750 to 1000 words
    • Include an opening paragraph -five to six lines- that summarizes the entire paper. This is not an intro that describes what the paper is about, rather this is a full summary of the paper. Think of this, if my paper landed in the hands of busy executives, would they have a full understanding of what my analysis is, as well as my recommendations and why by just reading the opening paragraph?
    • Do not answer the paper in a Q&A format style. Rather use sections and sub-headings.
    • Strengthen your storytelling by using numbers and charts, where/if relevant.
    • Finally, if it fits within your allotted word count, consider cybersecurity. Are we just bounded to always have bad actors who will infiltrate a database? Is this just another risk of doing business, and therefore users should know that the more digitalized they become, the more their data will land in the wrong hands? For your chosen topic, could the organization/company take even more precautions to secure their data?

Scholarly academic sources:

  • As mentioned in the rubric, you MUST use sources outside of the ones given to you already in the pre-readings. However, you are welcome to use the sources in the pre-readings but these DOT NOT count as part of the required number of scholarly academic sources.
  • Include at LEAST three scholarly academic sources. e.g. journal articles or books.
  • Check the box for “peer-reviewed” while performing your search on Hult’s Digital Library.

IMPORTANT

  • You are expected to produce a “new-to-the-world” analytical piece.
  • It is NOT OK to simply piece together the work of others.

Non-Comprehensive List of Potential Topics

  • Tesla continuously recording pedestrians and other drivers, through the cameras around its vehicles. Those pedestrians and other non-Tesla drivers have nothing to do with driving or owning the Tesla that is recording them.
  • Police being banned from using their own LAPD records around gang profiles.
  • Zhenhua Data keeping a database of high-profile Australian citizens.
  • Platforms of co-creation of knowledge that store in their databases unreliable data used by data scientists. Consider
    • The Non-Scott teenager who wrote 10,000 + Wikipedia articles for the Scottish Language. AI models were built based of that.
    • COVID-19 paper claiming that hydroxychloroquine posed a higher risk of death published by The Lancet peer-reviewed journal. Paper was later retracted due to the use of fictitious data to run the analytics.

Beta Computer Equipment Company

Accounting Issues Case

 

 

Part A

 

On February 20, 20X4 you are well into the field work of the 12/31/20X3 audit and the following issues have arisen during the audit of Beta Computer Equipment Company (BCE.)

 

  1. Service revenue
  2. Account receivable from officers
  3. Prepaid advertising
  4. Alan Almond Company receivable

 

Linda Wilson the president of BCE wants you to present your position on each of these issues as she would like your judgment as to “good GAAP” numbers. But, she has also pointed out that she understands that GAAP often does not provide a precise answer, and in such cases, she would rather error on the side of maintaining income rather than being “an overly pessimistic doomsayer.”  The attitude of Board of Directors members is consistent with that of Linda.

 

Prepare a memo that summarizes relevant professional standards (standard and paragraph should be cited) related to each of the 4 issues and prepare any proposed journal entries. Discuss information that would be included in any note disclosures related to each of the four items (you need not draft formal note disclosures). Prepare entries for all misstatements you identify, regardless of the amount involved. That is, don’t simply say no entry is needed because any amount involved would be immaterial. Assume that the current income is $1,323,839. For purposes of preparing journal entries, you may ignore income tax implications as any changes in taxes will be reflected later in the audit process after any entries have been posted to the working trial balance.

 

Summarize the income effects (before taxes) of any entries that you propose on a schedule such as the following (make clear over and understatements of income) :

Income Effect

 

  1. Unearned service revenue             ____________
  2. Account receivable from officers             ____________
  3. Prepaid advertising             ____________
  4. Alan Almond Company receivable ____________

 

 

Issue 1:  Service Revenue

 

BCE has included service revenue of $22,100 as a result of a number of one year service policies sold late in December as an “experiment.”  These service policies became effective on January 1, 20X4, or shortly thereafter.

 

The policies are sold at an average of $600 per year per customer; the $22,100 represents the total cash received as of year-end (debit cash, credit service revenue). The $600 per customer amount was arrived at by an analysis of previous service provided on a “fee for service” basis to customers. The average cost to BCE was approximately $200 per visit, with an average of 1.7 visits per year to customers. While the service policies allow unlimited visits for service, BCE has restricted the number of policies available due to difficulties in calculating the costs associated with such policies. BCE estimates that the number service calls is likely to increase to about 4 per year; the cost is expected to decrease to around $150 per call. So, at this point, the program is projected to break even. The aggressive pricing of the service policies is due to (1) the experimental nature of the program and (2) a desire to maintain long-term customer loyalty for future purchases of equipment.

 

What entry or disclosure, if any, is necessary in this circumstance?

 

Issue 2:  Accounts Receivable From Officers

 

At year-end BCE has $110,000 in accounts receivables from officers on the books. The Board of Directors approved these loans which are in the form of “demand” notes. One of the staff assistants asked whether there was any intent to require officers to pay back these loans.  Linda Wilson and Jan Wiggs, who each owe 1/2 of the total amount outstanding, agreed that while not much thought had been given to it, they imagined that they might someday repay the loans. On the other hand, they thought that the Board of Directors might forgive the loans some year in lieu of their annual bonus.

 

What entry or disclosure, if any, is necessary in this circumstance?

 

 

Issue 3:  Prepaid Advertising

 

On November 1, 20X3 BCE paid $30,000 in advance for eight months of advertising on radio station KNEWZ, a local news station. The entry was recorded with a debit to prepaid advertising and a credit to cash. At December 31, 20X3 BCE expensed $7,500 (debit to advertising expense and credit to prepaid advertising for 2 of the 8 months). Earlier, on December 29, 20X3 BCE received a letter from KNEWZ indicating that the radio station was changing its format on January 1, 20X4 to “classic heavy metal.”   In brief, news is being replaced by old songs of Phish, Ozzie Osbourne, and Metallica. It will now use the call letters KDEV.

 

Although BCE has no real data on this, it is management’s impression that most Ozzie Osbourne fans buy fewer networked computer systems than news station listeners. Accordingly, management attempted to cancel the agreement and receive a refund. Regrettably, the contract for the advertising provides no assurances about a change in station format and BCE’s lawyers say that obtaining any recovery in a court proceeding is doubtful. KDEV has refused any attempts at renegotiation and has suggested that BCE might be surprised at the number of customers that might respond to the commercials. KDEV is even willing to work with BCE to redo commercials eliminating the old ones that used the “sappy sounding” news announcers and replacing them with commercials using their new announcers; KDEV is willing to record these commercials for no additional cost. BCE management still questions whether the advertising will be well placed, but does believe that there may be a few listeners who might respond to the advertisement. BCE legal counsel suggests that it is not worth pursuing this matter further.

 

What entry or disclosure, if any, is necessary in this circumstance?

 

Issue 4:  Alan Almond Receivable

 

Alan Almond Company (Alan Almond) owes BCE $82,000 for a computer system installation that was purchased in March of 20X3. Alan Almond has run into financial difficulties due to dramatic decreases in the selling price of almonds during recent years. In August of 20X3 Linda Wilson (BCE president) and Jan Wiggs (BCE controller) established a repayment schedule in which Alan Almond would repay $10,000 per month (plus interest). While the first payment was made in September (bringing the debt down from $92,000 to $82,000), no further payments have been received. (Alan Almond has continued to make small purchases from BCE on a “cash” basis.)

 

Your discussion with management indicates that Alan Almond received a “going concern” modification from its auditors for the year ended 8/30/X3 (the audit report was dated 10/22/X3). The going concern modification arose due to a question concerning whether Alan Almond can obtain new financing when needed, on June 30, 20X4. However, the situation is not entirely bleak for Alan Almond’s future as layoffs of 1/3 of the company’s employees resulted in a situation in which Alan Almond operated at break even for the year ended 8/30X3. Alan Almond has discussed filing for bankruptcy with bankruptcy legal counsel and at this point believes it is unnecessary. But, if it becomes necessary, counsel suggests that creditors shouldn’t expect to receive more than 50 cents on the dollar. Management has suggested to you that 70 cents on the dollar is more likely if bankruptcy ensues. Your analysis at the date of both the Alan Almond audited annual statements (8/30/X3) and the interim statements (11/30/X3) indicates that if bankruptcy is declared, a recovery of 50-60 cents on the dollar (with no amount more probable than another in that range) is likely. Yet, it’s difficult to know what the situation will be in the future.

 

The sales agreement for the computer system allows BCE to repossess the equipment at any time prior to bankruptcy. But, because the equipment is used and specific to Alan Almond’s applications, management believes that the equipment could be sold for a (net) of between $20,000 and $30,000. Also, management points out that such an action would not be considered positively by either Alan Almond or a number of other companies that BCE is attempting to attract as clients. Accordingly, BCE has resisted this option and does not intend to pursue it at this time.

 

Your analysis of the interim statements (unaudited) reveals that Alan Almond operated at a slight profit during the first quarter and that almond prices have increased approximately 15 percent. However, experts disagree widely as to future almond prices as there is some concern that a significant increase in almonds from India may enter the US market. Finally, Alan Almond’s management, although noncommittal on details, suggests that it believes that it will be able to continue repayments on the debt within the “next few months.” But your feeling is that it is probable that Alan Almond will be forced to file for bankruptcy.

 

No allowance for this account is currently included in the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

What, if any, loss reserve (and/or note disclosure) should be reflected in the financial statements?

 

 

How can people who fear law enforcement and crime have these anxieties eased? How can law enforcement help?

Distrust of Law Enforcement

 

Fear of crime can lead to increased anxiety, social withdrawal, and many other outcomes. One of the goals of community policing is to reduce the fear of crime by building positive relationships with the people in an officer’s neighborhood and town. Distrust of law enforcement is one area that we covered in this Module, and studies have found that the level of trust relates to many factors, but race appears to be one of them. Community policing also hopes to tackle the issue of distrust by the strong relationships it seeks to make between officers and community members.

Your goal for this blog is to come up with real, actionable solutions that can address fear of crime and distrust of law enforcement that can appear in communities of color. Community policing is a theory – so don’t cite this – but you can find specific things that have been done under the umbrella of community policing, broken windows policing, evidence-based policing, etc, that target these very real issues.

How can people who fear law enforcement and crime have these anxieties eased? How can law enforcement help?
