Why is it considered as the foundation of ethical reasoning in accounting? The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) has outlined the expected Code of Conduct for accounting professionals. It is indeed considered to be the backbone of ethical reasoning in the field of accounting. Needless to say, there are several reasons why AICPA is the foundation of ethics for all accountants. For example, rules and principles of operations are contained in the professional code of conduct. The frameworks that are used to administer the rules are provided by the AICPA’s principles. Hence, the professional services offered by accountants are governed by the set rules. In addition, technical standards for professional code of conduct can be promulgated by designated agencies that have been authorized by AICPA. These rules and principles are the cornerstone of ethical standards applied by accountants. Besides, ethical reasoning in accounting has only been made possible by strict adherence to rules and principles. This implies that AICPA has played a significant role in maintaining sanity among accounting professionals. What are the three most important purposes of AICPA? Why are they most important? AICPA plays several roles in the field of professional accounting. In particular, it offers clear guidelines in regards to the anticipated Code of Professional Conduct. There is always the desire to boost the confidence of the public in this profession. In addition, members of the public who are served by accountants in various disciplines are supposed to be protected. For instance, there are specific rules and regulations that accountants must adhere to in order to safeguard the privacy of clients. In addition, the confidentiality of employers should be protected. As a matter of fact, the information shared by members of AICPA should be in strict adherence to the stated Professional Codes of Conduct. To begin with, AICPA plays the role of protecting members of the public who are served by accountants. As the institute safeguards the interest of the public, it also serves the purpose of improving the confidence level of the public in the field of accounting. The first section of the professional code of conduct expounds that members of AICPA are supposed to act in the most honorable manner. Professional accountants are expected to give priority to the needs of clients even if they may not gain anything in the process (AICPA, 2014). Raising the trust level of the public towards the profession is a core ethical requirement under the Rules and Articles described in the AICPA’s Professional Code of Conduct. Furthermore, client protection is the second most important purpose of AICPA. In other words, professional accountants are supposed to bridge the gap between client’s rules of confidentiality and protection of the public. All the guidelines on how to achieve the latter have been provided by AICPA. In order to achieve this purpose, the responsibilities of Certified Public Accountants have been clearly s
Project Background/Introduction Communication has been redefined with the advent of the new technology. The high rate of phone accessibility among most people in the current world has made the world a global village. The situation makes it possible to get in touch with any person using the mobile gadgets. Due to technological advancements, and the competition of leading firms smartphones have been developed and are readily available to most of country’s population. A smart phone is a handy device, which has the ability of serving both as a traditional cell phone as well as personal computer. Smart phones nowadays deliver satisfactory performance for audio communication as well as multimedia apps, thus setting up a high quality VOIP conferencing system has been made possible by the entry of smart phones. The ability of smart phones to support an audio conferencing system has given a new prospect to people with great convenience it has brought to the world. Inasmuch as variety of products exist in the market, a few of the products have the capability of offering audio conferencing services via the smart phones.In this project ,the audio conferencing system will be embedded with GPS location to it plus and user interface to allow selection of predetermined numbers. Voice-over-IP (VOIP) audio conferencing systems are widely used as Internet apps. VOIP has brought in breakthroughs in bridging the gap between persons distant apart. The application of the voice concept has been evident across varied sectors like social, academic, and business circles – indicating a strong need for the systems. VOIP systems are gaining more acceptance as the quality of service delivery as well as surrounding network environment keeps improving. 1 A highly eye-catching situation is when users can participate in a conference meeting, using their smart phones, without having to physically be present. This characteristic can be utilized in emergencies scenarios especially in raids and robberies in home situations. The research analyzes how a modest and extensible audio conferencing and GPS notify scheme for smart phones can be developed as well as executed fully. This paper considers all the essential modules of constructing an audio conferencing and GPS notify arrangement for Android-based mobile phones. Moreover, the system usability was examined by performing two key experiments. These experiments tested limited energy or battery use as well as determine the application of service quality using delay testing. Project Selection There are several safety and security issues faced by the citizens. By factoring in vital precautions, nonetheless, incidence security risks can be reduced considerably. For example, it can be done by reducing the temptation for robbers, keeping off bad areas, and even applying common sense on selecting safe locations. But one major problem which has been on the rise
Introduction This paper presents the notion that the continued development of racism and white supremacy during the post-civil rights era was in part due to an inherent bias found within social institutions at the time. It was only when such institutions were replaced by new ones that the idea of racial equality began to take off. First and foremost, the concept of structural inequality can be defined as an inherent bias within social structures which can provide some advantages to a select group of people within society while at the same time marginalizing others. This can be seen in instances related to racism, education, and discrimination wherein certain segments of the population are categorized and marginalized depending on the color of their skin and their particular race. Evidence of this can be seen in the article “Behind Blue Eyes,” wherein it is stated that: “ The downfall of official racial segregation brought about significant gains for racially defined minorities, yet the preservation of substantive racial inequality in income, education, housing, and other spheres quickly demonstrated the limits of the civil rights revolution .” The reason why this occurred was due to the presence of social institutions in the form of cultural inclinations towards racism that were still present at the time. The concept of a social institution can be defined as a set of shared social practices that have been implemented into the consciousness of a society over time. These practices can range from early biases over homosexuals to how social groups viewed minorities (i.e., blacks, Asians, etc.) as inferior simply because they had been considered inferior by their respective social institutions up till that point. People tend to ascribe to this particular way of thinking to such an extent that they come up with absurd ideas simply to justify their actions. This manifested itself in the idea that white men were getting a “raw deal” during the 1960s as a result of a lifting of racial segregation, which resulted in more blacks in the work force. They called it “white discrimination,” which did not exist at all yet was made up to justify perspective regarding job roles and how they should belong only to whites. Viewpoints such as these created a degree of social segregation even though the civil rights movement supposedly conferred equal rights to minorities. The result was that American society became increasingly divided over racial lines. Even without overt racial discrimination in play and with laws protecting minorities, wealth was increasingly being isolated towards the white majority. The result of such actions is that minorities remained minorities with wealth, education, and connections being increasingly isolated to the upper echelons of society. What this means for various businesses is that often when minorities apply for jobs, they lack the educational capacity, experience, and networks that a person from a majority
Introduction Maintaining high ethical standards is very important for any company. It helps create a positive image of the firm among employees, customers, and partners. The consequences of unethical behavior in business might be severe ruining the firm’s reputation and the careers of people. The goal of this paper is to study steps that need to be taken to develop a well-working ethical system by using the example of the scandal involving Wells Fargo and the problems it revealed. The culture of any company is heavily dependent on the values the leadership promotes among the employees, and the personal example they provide. In Wells Fargo, CEO John Stumpf put the expenditure of the market and sales figures above the value of ethical behavior. The management promoted cross-selling, which encouraged the subordinates to engage in aggressive sales practices (Tayan 18). The leadership of the bank deliberately ignored the controversial sales technics in the company. The CEO and senior management did not take any actions, although they had been aware for many years that this problem took place (Tayan 23). Such attitude of the leadership of the company might have given the employees the appearance that these forms of unethical behavior were accepted and even encouraged. Main body The structure and the business model of Wells Fargo allowed the emergence of the working environment that incited the employees to unethical behaviors. The divisions’ leaders were given a lot of autonomy, which harmed the efficiency of the ethical system. The bank used a compensation system that was primarily based on bonuses, and the supervises pushed their subordinates to make more sales. This pressure made many of them leave the company, and those who stayed had to turn to aggressive sales to hit the quotas (Tayan, 18). Stumpf did not take responsibility for the situation regarding the scandal. Instead, he decided to blame it on the fired employees of the company. Moreover, the existing ethic system did not work properly, and the attempts to use the ethics hotline of the company resulted in punishment for those who reported misconduct leading the employees to further distrust in it (Tayan, 21). Thus, although the company had some elements of an ethics system, it did not have any positive effect, because the senior management did not organize its proper work, and those who tried to use it were punished for that. It is common to use b
Street Fight is a documentary film that covers a mayoral campaign in Newark by Cory Booker. He was a Council member who stood up to a powerful politician James Sharpe. At first, Sharpe underestimated his competitor due to Booker’s young age and inexperience. However then, Sharpe had to make large investments in his pre-election campaign. The confrontation between two politicians got out of hand and turned into a real fight. Both candidates used similar leadership and power techniques to manipulate people’s opinions. However, Sharpe was more successful and won the election, though his opponent was very close to him. The main goal of this paper is to discuss the concepts of leadership and power, using examples that are presented in a film Street Fight. Leadership is a system that is based on several concepts, and it starts with the articulating a vision. It is necessary to specify goals. Cory Booker’s main aim was to transform urban communities. His slogans emphasized the importance of changes in the leadership of the city. On the other hand, Booker’s opponent insisted on the idea that the current city’s policy was well-designed and must not have been altered. Sharpe supported his opinion by presented statistics. It is the second concept of leadership, defining reality. He stated a significant reduction in crime rates and the increased number of new residential units. However, Booker mentioned other figures. These statistics aimed to prove that Sharpe’s policy had not had great success. Booker highlighted high unemployment and school dropout rates, noticing that Newark residents’ deserved the better quality of life. Thereby, Booker created a conflict, making people angry about his opponent’s incompetence. It is the third technique of leadership. In addition, Booker constantly blamed Sharpe for being inflexible and corrupt. Sharpe adopted the same strategy and stated that Booker had support from outside the city, thus, he pursued his own interests, not the city’s. Also, Sharpe underlined Booker’s hypocrisy because Booker was a famous Republican, though he tried to present himself as a Democrat. Applying these techniques, Sharpe aimed to gain the solidarity among older persons. In order to get more voters on their sides, these politicians employed the specific technique that implies power. A person gets power when the dependency of a certain resource takes place. Leaders can use a reward power technique to influence people’s behavior by promising them things they need. For example, Booker set safety as the major priority. He promised to reconstruct the Police D
Introduction Parkinson’s disease is one of the neurological disorders referred to as motor system disorders considering that these conditions are implicated in the loss of brain cells, particularly dopamine-producing cells. As a result, Parkinson’s disease is recognized by four primary symptoms including stiffness or rigidity (of the trunk and limbs), bradykinesia, tremor or trembling (in the hands, arms, face, legs, and jaw), and postural instability. On the other hand, progression of the primary symptoms leads to more pronounced symptoms such as difficulties in carrying out simple tasks, talking, or walking. Additionally, PD is common among the elderly people above the age of 50 years, with the early symptoms being subtle and gradual while individual differences are obvious in terms of disease progression. Here, progression of the primary symptoms results into more pronounced effects such as interference with normal physiological activities in the patient’s body. Moreover, PD is associated with depression; emotional changes; skin problems; constipation; sleep disruptions; and difficulties in speaking, swallowing, and chewing (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke [NINDS], 2012a). Currently, there are no known diagnostic tests for PD, and hence, many doctors rely on medical histories and other neurological examinations for diagnosis. As a result, many challenges are encountered during PD diagnosis, and the accuracy of tests is not guaranteed. Moreover, differential diagnosis may be initiated to rule out the presence of other related conditions. On the other hand, there is no known cure for Parkinson’s disease, but various medications and therapeutic interventions, which provide remarkable symptomatic relief, are available (NINDS, 2012a; Claassen, van den Wildenberg, & Ridderinkhof, 2011; Wilkinson, Beigi, Lagnado, & Jahanshahi, 2011; Tiihonen, Lankinen, & Viemero, 2008). This research paper compares and contrasts the effectiveness of pharmacological interventions such as the administration of Levodopa, Carbidopa, anticholinergics, and other drugs; the deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgical therapy, and the cognitive-behavioral patient education programs in the reduction or management of symptoms in PD. Additionally, this paper will recommend the most appropriate approach to treating PD in addition to examining the neuro-physiological foundations of diseases and/or disorders, and the contemporary attitudes toward the three therapeutic interventions listed abov
Introduction to Events Management This week’s lecture was very informative with an introduction to the concept of events management and how it can be applied in the sports industry. Initially, I did not know that the sports business industry is divided into different segments. However, during this week’s lecture, I learned that the industry has over ten market segments, and this realization widened my scope of thinking concerning the issue. It was interesting to realize that the sports industry can also be classified as both a product and service industry. Initially, I viewed sports as a spectatorial product, which is only used for entertainment. Now I know that the business falls in numerous categories starting from selling equipment and apparel, promoting merchandise, managing and marketing professional services, to selling sports media business products among other goods. The diagrammatical presentation of major sports events typology made it easy for me to understand how the industry is structured. Similarly, the world of sports events and OC breakdown highlighted how sports events are organized from the international level, through the national level to state or local level bringing together sponsors, media, and the general public. While I knew that there has to be some form of organization of sports events, I did not comprehend how planning was done and the different levels involved. One of the interesting learning areas during this week was the convergence between the entertainment and sports industries. The challenges and hurdles that have to be overcome in the sports industry gave a different perspective on sports events and business. For the first time, I learned about the different motivators of sports fans including enjoyment, gains, experience, and social aspects of the issue. It was also refreshing to understand the sports ecosystem and how money flows through the industry. I could not believe the number of resources and time that go into organizing major sports events such as the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup and the associated massive costs and revenue flows. This week’s lecture made me reflect on my understanding of the future of the sports industry. The topic was related to the strategic communication of events because, given the complexity of the process that is involved in planning for major sports events, such as the FIFA World Cup, I concluded that effective communication is required. Events Publicity, Promotion, and Sponsorship This week’s lecture started with an introduction to effective communication. I learned about the communication process of what happens between when a message leaves the source and when it gets to the receiver. Initially, I was not aware that communication is a process that goes through different phases and it could be improved by eliminating chaos, confusion, and conflict. The simple opening question on my understanding of the term communication jogged my mind as I searched for the right words to describe it. I realized that my definition was one-sided,
