...Name Tutor Course Date 2c: Artefact collection and reflection 1. Optus on Facebook This was an article on business communication. It examined Optus’ internet marketing strategy via Facebook. The report revealed that the organisation was not maximising this outlet. As a communication channel, social media is easily becoming the mode of choice. This is not an exception even for a country like Oman. I found that the information and assessment I did in this assignment were quite relevant to my placement. I have spent a good amount of time, at the institution, using social media. I already knew the indispensability of this channel. The assignment assisted me in knowing how to get the most out of social media. I will use some of the same recommendations in the report to improve Oman Football Association’s outcomes in the future. 2.The Great Ocean Triathlon This was also another assignment that we did in the course. It was a report on preparation for the 2014 triathlon event. As a result of this piece, I was able to identify a mission, vision and objectives for the event. These skills were highly applicable in the internship because I needed to have objectives and goals at the start of the practicum. Additionally, the assignment involved identification of a target market, source of revenue, assessment of the experience and actual operational planning. These are all aspects that the OFA employees tackle daily. I used lessons about strategic...

...Assessment could be defined as the “process of gathering, interpreting, recording and using information about students’ responses to an educational task. “(Harlen, Gipps, Broadfoot, Nuttal. 1992. P.214) It is a part of everyday life for all teachers; it is an integral part of teaching and learning and is a basis for planning lessons and schemes of work based on national curriculum. The main function of assessment is to support teachers and learners in achieving their objectives and aims; by providing information about the progress of learners and by helping institutions to improve and perform better. Assessment can sometimes be seen as something extra that teachers have to undertake, outside of their daily routines; such as invigilating exams or taking books home to mark after school; although assessment is not just marking and awarding grades. It involves identifying at what stage of learning each pupil or student is at, as well as highlighting any miscomprehensions within their learning. It is then possible for a teacher to fill these voids of knowledge and plan lessons appropriately by tailoring lessons to the academic needs of the learners. Using assessment is vital for any learning facilitator and it therefore underpinned by the governments teaching standards, which also make assessment very necessary. Teaching standard 6 requires that to “Make accurate and productive use of assessment”. (URL 5) Assessment itself is a very broad term and many variations exist with...

Course Description and Objectives Course Description: A strategy is an integrated and coordinated commitment designed to exploit a firm’s core competencies. Managers use a strategy to identify market opportunities, analyze competitors, and determine among competing alternatives to enhance the performance of their firms. A strategic decision requires managers to use resources appropriately with respect to external environments in order to help their firms create unique firm value and gain competitive advantages. In this sense, a strategy tells managers what the firm will do as well as what the firm will not do. MGMT 4900 introduces the key concepts, tools and principals of strategic management. It requires you to have an interdisciplinary perspective that uses the ideas, concepts, and theories from your functional courses such as Accounting, Economics, Finance, Marketing, Organizational Behavior, and Statistics.

...Financial Statement Fraud ACCT 710: Assignment 6-2 Shannon Baxley David Welch September 24, 2011 Table of Contents Abstract………………………………………………………………………………………3 Introduction…………………………………………………………………………………..3 Literature Reviews……………………………………………………………………………5 Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………………..16 References…………………………………………………………………………………...18 Abstract This paper describes financial statement fraud (FSF) and how it may occur within companies. The reason of this study was to research FSF detection and prevention. Research was also done to determine any influences that SAS (Statement on Auditing Standards) No. 82 and SAS No. 99 had on audit programs and the analysis from external auditors. Thirteen scholarly journals were reviewed in order to analyze SAS No. 82 and No. 99 and to show ways to detect and prevent fraud. Results found that managers and/or auditors can create fraud intentionally and unintentionally. There are ways to prevent fraud and educating managers and/or auditors is a good way to make sure fraud does not occur. Introduction Financial statement fraud (FSF) involves the premeditated issuing of phony information on a financial statement (financial statement fraud, 2011). FSF occurs when a company exaggerates assets or revenue, or when it devalues liabilities and expenses (financial statement fraud, 2011). The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or AICPA defines fraudulent financial reporting as “intentional misstatements or omissions...
