...many employers are stressing the importance of it. Accountants that can communicate are better suited for the work environment. Employers are starting to place importance on these skills then they are technical accounting skills. This chapter focuses on how accountants should write and how it affects your work and problem solving. It is important to keep in mind that writing is essential to accountants. Accountants have to be able to read and write on an everyday basis. For example tax accountants have to write memos to describe the results that they found and at times they must write letters to the internal revenue service for their clients. Auditors for example have to write memos to file in the audit working papers that are essential to any audit. After the audit is completed auditors must be able to write a letter to management advising them on any changes that should be made. Accountants at times have the responsibility to write footnote disclosures in financial statements and at times accountants were using very technical language. This resulted in many investors being misinformed due to the fact that not ever investor is an accountant. The Securities and Exchange Commission issued a disclosure rule that stated to write these notes in “plain English.” They are seven tips that writers recommend for business writing. These seven are content, critical thinking, appropriateness for readers, conciseness, clarity, coherence, and revision. By content the writers mean the...

...How Can We Increase Student Literacy/Comprehension? People read for different reasons but ultimately the goal of reading is to derive meaning for a purpose whether it is for learning new skills, gathering facts or just for pleasure. If there is no comprehension, then reading is nothing more than following words on a page while sounding them out. The words don’t really have any meaning. That’s why literacy/comprehension skills are critical for students (especially ELLs) success in school as well as outside of school. Without these skills students cannot gather any information and use it to function efficiently and enjoy life. As educators, there are many strategies we can employ in our classrooms to ensure that students are developing literacy/comprehension skills. The strategies that I have found to be the most effective are sticky notes, visualizing and synthesizing frames. Students can use sticky notes in a variety of ways to help them increase their comprehension. One strategy is to have students read a story or passage and write down any questions they have about the story on sticky notes as they read. This strategy can be used before and during reading and it can be done individually or as a class. To use it before reading, have the students take a picture walk through a book and write down questions they have based on the pictures. Next, read through the book and have the students write down any new or different questions they have based on the text. Finally...

...Before you start filling out your scholarship applications, you need to spend some time thinking about how to write a scholarship essay that will get the results that you want. For many students, the hardest part of writing a scholarship essay is getting comfortable with highlighting your accomplishments. Students often see this as bragging about themselves. But this is exactly what you need to do in order to convince the judges that you should receive the scholarship instead of the other applicants, you have to tell the judges what makes you a better candidate. Therefore, one of the most important things you have to do when getting ready to write your college scholarship essays is to spend some time reflecting on just how wonderful you really are. When you write down all of the great things you have accomplished, it will be much easier for you to create an essay that conveys your strong points to the judges. Tips for getting ready to write a strong essay: 1. Make a list of all your accomplishments. 2. Develop a list of your extracurricular activities. 3. Write down the three accomplishments of which you are the most proud. 4. Think of a problem that you have faced and write down how you were able to overcome it. 5. Put in writing your career goals, or your reason for wanting to attend college. 6. Pretend that you had to write a letter of recommendation for yourself. Write down the three most important things you would say. Armed with this list of your best traits, accomplishments...

...otherwise might not be able to grasp. The ideas of a lesson are written down on paper in a way that shows a clear map or relationship between what the lesson is on. Graphic organizers can be used for many different lessons including math, literature and history. One effect way of using a graphic organizer is to explain the time line of the Lewis and Clark expedition. For this I would use a series of events chain. To begin with this lesson, we would first read about the journey that Lewis and Clark took across the country. After reading is complete I would hand out sheets that had a series of events chain organizer already drawn on the paper. I would also have my own similar graphic organizer up on the board. I would then explain to my students how a series of events chain worked. I would explain how in the first box, the beginning of an event would be written down. To give them a clear understanding of this, I would talk about how a series of events chain would look based on their life so far. I would tell them in the first box, their birth date would be written down. I would also explain that other information could be used in that box as well, like where they were born or how much they weighed. I would then explain how the second box could contain the date that they first slept through the night. The third box could have the date of when they said their first word and what that word was. Then how they could write about their first steps in another box or when they started kindergarten...

...Role: • An accounting advisor engaged by a lawyer to help with concerns about an earnout arrangement (payment for the purchase of a business based on performance after the sale has closed). Key users: • Ms. Kellett and Mr. Jones are the only relevant users. Ms. Kellett will use the report to assist her in assessing the earnout agreement. Key facts: • Earnout arrangement being proposed for sale of company. • Selling price will depend on earnings after the sale closes and buyer (role is working for the seller) will prepare the financial statements. • Ms. Kellett and Mr. Jones are unsophisticated financial statement users. • Financial statements have a number of “soft spots” that could lead to Mr. Jones being disadvantaged by the earnout arrangement. Constraints: • The purchaser has suggested the earnout state that the financial statements be prepared using GAAP consistently applied. A clean audit opinion would also be required. Tighter constraints are required because GAAP still provides significant leeway to the new owners that will allow them to disadvantage Mr. Jones. Objectives: • Identify soft spots in the financial statements and propose ways to protect Mr. Jones from not receiving fair compensation for his business Issues: • Possible non-arm’s length transactions. • Inuvik will be a major supplier to other companies that the buyer owns. • This is a reasonable strategy for the buyer but it creates risks for Mr. Jones because transactions between Inuvik and the other...

...VARK Learning styles: Read/write learning style Name: Institution: VARK Learning styles: Read/write learning style Overview of the read/write learning style The read/write learning style mainly makes the use of printed words to receive and convey learning information. Using the style enables one skill to become the input of another through the transfer of the ability to read to that of writing. The skills transfer is integral in raising the awareness of how the structural components involved in learning are shared in both reading and writing modalities (VARK, 2016). One of the reasons a leaner may choose to embrace the read/write learning style is because it facilitates cognitive concept mastery since it brings out the aspect of making sense of what is read through fixing it in memory by writing it down (Crawford, 2005). Therefore, the method strengthens the learning quality by incorporating both the senses of sight and touch. Pointed out herein is how personal reading/writing strategies compare to the VARK preferred read/write learning style strategies and how the awareness of the individual learning style (read/write style) influences teaching and learning. Preferred learning strategies for read/write learning style * Identification of the item or subject that require a study. * Development of learning goals and questions or hypotheses with regard to the subject of study. * Identification of the sources from which the study will derive concepts from. The sources ought...

...this selection from Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird, I let out a huge sigh of relief, as I had no idea that even expert, published writers go through the same struggles in writing that I myself do. 2. Do you write “shitty first drafts” and then clean them up and turn them in? Or do you try to work out what you’re going to say in your head first so that you write only one draft? Or do you just turn in the “shitty first draft”? In the past, I have always been extremely cautious to let anyone else read my shitty first drafts. It always pained me when a teacher would ask us to bring a rough draft to class so that others could peer-edit my work. Because of this, I developed a tendency to attempt to work out what I was going to say in my head so that I would only have one draft. I would sit at my computer for hours typing, erasing, and re-typing my work, almost as if I was cleaning up my rough draft as I was writing my rough draft. I always tried not to just turn in the shitty first draft, as I knew it was far from my best work, but sometimes I would get stuck and would ultimately be forced into turning in my shitty first draft. 3. Based on your answer to question 2, are you happy with how you go about writing? Why or why not? Overall, no, I am not happy with how I go about my writing. One line that really hit home to me while reading this selection from Lamott was when she talked about “trusting the process.” This is something that seems obvious, but is rarely practiced...
