...GSA Wants You Strayer University Bus 330 – Contract Administration and Management Professor Antoinette Bridges May 30, 2014 Abstract GSA is focused on giving the merchant group the vital preparations and tools required for them to seek work with the Federal Government. In doing this mission, GSA's Office of Small Business Utilization has devoted its assets to teaching the small business entrepreneur with continued support in training. Stanberry, S. A. (2013). GSA Wants You Describe the electronic submission process and the security measures present in this approach. Analyze the advantages over classic paper solicitations. According to Stanberry (2013), the electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) is a web-based government-wide subcontracting system that allows electronic submission of applications from potential contractors. The system will manage the receiving, revisions and rejections of applications submitted through the eSRS system. The information received into the system can generate reports and analyses of subcontracting data in real-time. The eSRS process helps to create a green environment by reducing the paperwork submitted, killing less trees. It also reduces the errors, less time to process the applications, allows for electronic signatures, papers are not lost and it makes the process less time consuming on the subcontractors. The electronic Subcontracting...

...Minkow started seeking for financing but realized that bank were not willing to lend him money due to his age and low profitability of his business. That’s why he came up with the idea of forgeries and thefts from his insurance company. Later on, making friends he asked the insurance claim adjuster - Tom Padgett to confirm from time to time that Minkow’s company received occasional insurance restoration contracts on remodeling works on properties damaged by fire, storms and other catastrophes. Soon he realized that there was no need in development of carpet business because the main “income” was obtained by restoration operations. Then, Minkow decided to go public and for that purpose he hired independent auditor – George Greenspan. By that time Minkow had established fake insurance company and Padgett had got the top position in it to confirm fraudulent restoration contracts, so Greenspan didn’t notice any problems with those sites. By the end of the year he was dismissed and Minkow retained “Ernst & Whinney” to enhance creditability of his operations on restoration contracts. “Ernst & Whinney” agreed to provide 4 types of services to “ZZZZ best company”: review the financial statement of the company for the 3-month period ending July 31, 1986; assistance in the preparation of a registration statement to be filled with the SEC; a comfort letter to be submitted to company’s underwriters and full scope audit for the fiscal year.

The aim of this paper is analyze the employment contract. The steps of the analysis are reading the employment contract carefully, deconstructing the clauses of the contract line by line, pulling out different legal principles, tell the stories or create the scenario that how they fire you, give my recommendations and what I learned about this contract. The reason this employment contract created is because both the employer and the employee need to confirm their obligations, liabilities, and rights. The relationship between the company and the consultant should based on a valid employment contract. In the recommendation part, I try to find out the best way that the consultant can do under this agreement, and if the problem is arising, how can we solve it. The pulling out of legal principles found that many common law ideas were applied in the contract. The use of common law specifies the provisions that about what the consultant can do and what they cannot do. The contract is written in English, and the words is used in the contract are no ambiguity. I explain the clauses line by line use my own words. The clause covers many areas, and it is detailed.

...Critically comment on the transaction cost based theory of Construction procurement and evaluate its potential as a practical tool in the Selection of procurement systems Abstract This term paper will provide comprehensive reviews on the entire literature involving transaction cost economics (TCE) in construction procurement. It will also critically describe the transaction cost based theory of construction procurement and also give an evaluation of its potential as a critical tool in the selection of procurement systems. The paper will also explore how TCE has emerged from most economic roots to examine empirical phenomena in construction procurement. TCE has been increasingly applied not only to business-related fields such as finance, accounting, organizational theory and marketing but also to the construction industry. Most construction industries have recently moved to practice innovative working techniques that will involve great collaboration and interrelationships that has been in the past. While these benefits such as collaborative and improved ways of working are discussed, but so little is evident about their cost. Hence there proves to be a diverse evidence showing the cost of procurement and more competitive and traditional practices. The purpose of this term paper is to try and examine the transaction based theory of procurement that is used in construction industry. Introduction Ever since it emerged in the early 1970s (Williamson 1971) the new institutional...

...EFFECT OF PROCUREMENT SYSTEMS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS Abstract: Project procurement has been described as an organized methods or process and procedure for clients to obtain or acquire construction products. Apart from the traditional approach, there are now other “fast-tracking” or innovative procurement systems used by the construction industry world wide. The different procurement systems differ from each other in term of allocation of responsibilities, activities sequencing, process and procedure and organizational approach in project delivery. These differences have invariably affected the project performance. Project performance has been defined as “the degree of achievement of certain effort or undertaking” which relates to the prescribed goals or objectives that form the project parameters. There are many other elements that determine project success, but the focus of this paper is on the three critical parameters or project performance i.e. time, cost and quality. The aim of this paper is to look into the effect of the different procurement systems on the project performance. Since there are many different project procurement systems, it is appropriate for the purpose of this presentation to limit to the common ones i.e. traditional system, design and build and management contracting. Keyword: Project procurement, performance, time, cost and quality INTRODUCTION The procurement of construction project is vast in scope because it involves the...

KEMPISTY and COMPANY 3 SEC v. DELPHI CORPORATION, et al., (PAUL FREE, CPA) 5 SEC v. JASPER 6 LIMITED ACCOUNTING-CLIENT PRIVILEGE 7 CONCLUSION 9 REFERENCES 11 INTRODUCTION Accountants have responsibilities to act in the interest of three different parties. 1. Their clients 2. Third parties 3. The government In this paper, I will outline the duties accountants owe to each party, examples of how accountants breach duties to each party, and additional obligations accountants have to each and all of the three parties. LIABILITY TO CLIENTS Anyone from Fortune 500 corporations to low-income individuals can become accounting clients. A person or entity need only to enlist the professional services of an accountant via a contract to become a client. The contract may require the accountant to perform an audit, complete federal and/or state tax returns, give a consultation regarding business formation and financial planning, or a wide host of other accounting functions. Beatty and Samuelson explain how an accountant must execute their contracts with their clients with, “a degree of skill and competence that an ordinarily prudent accountant would under the circumstances (2010).” We may consider this concept...

...1. Executive summary This paper will study a contract, common in business law; but more specifically, this report will analyze a credit card agreement from CIBC Visa. In studying this contract, it will show what a contract is and the legal framework that it implies. In studying the clauses of this contract, one will familiarize oneself with the legal terms and jargon that all contracts consist of. In explaining these clauses, one might be able to divide them into twelve main principles that a contracting agreement should consist of. This paper will then analyze the clauses and any potential flaws or problems, and later suggest changes that should be applied. These can be considerable change, for instance, adding or removing clauses or can be simply a small change, such as changing a few words in a clause or fixing a spelling error. This report will then move on to challenge the legal reasoning of the contract and finally explain the legal corrective measures that are identified at the end of this paper. All of these things will be tied into the general foundation of business law and how they all connect. 3 2. Introduction This paper is designed to explain a typical credit card agreement; first, it will explain all clauses and the true meaning behind the legal verbiage. Secondly, this paper will define and apply various legal principles as they apply to the contemporary legal environment.
