...1. What were the driving forces that lead Wells Fargo OFS to redesign their strategy and processes? Wells Fargo launched its online financial services much ahead of their competitors and with the astonishing response of the growing customer base, they enhanced the online services with all major banking services like reviewing their accounts and balances, bill payments etc. The OFS primarily focused on the maintaining the high attrition rate of online customers and provide all their customer with a low cost service medium. The OFS group recovered their cost by charging other department within the bank depending on the activity of the customer after logging into the portal. However due to this main the purpose of providing a low cost media to the customer was being lost in the need of generating OFS group revenue. Because of this the OFS had reached a point where the profits and costs were equal. Wells Fargo’s traditional approach to measure performance and strategies using the financial metrics led to poor decision making while the online banking needed a well-planned long term goal as it was one of the driving factor of the business in the coming years. Also, because of the rapidly changing technological trends on a daily basis in the internet media, the OFS had to be upstream in their approach to keep with the latest technologies. This involved new competitive threats and meeting the customer demands became a challenge due to the varied customer base in the online banking...

...4.1 Audit objective relating to database access is verify that database access authority and privileges are granted to users in accordance with their legitimate needs. Audit procedures for testing data access controls are: Responsibility for authority tables and subschemas. The auditor should verify that database administration personnel retain exclusive responsibility for creating authority tables and designing user views. Evidence may come from three sources: (1) by reviewing company policy and job descriptions, which specify these technical responsibilities; (2) by examining programmer authority tables for access privileges to data definition language commands; and (3) through personal interviews with programmers and DBA personnel. Appropriate access authority. The auditor can select a sample of users and verify that their access privileges stored in the authority table are consistent with their job descriptions organizational levels. Biometric controls. The auditor should evaluate the costs and benefits of biometric controls. Generally, these would be most appropriate where highly sensitive data are accessed by a very limited number of users. Inference controls. The auditor should verify that database query controls exist to prevent unauthorized access via inference. The auditor can test controls by simulating access by a sample of users and attempting to retrieve unauthorized data via inference queries. Encryption controls.

...Perceptual mapping is a graphics that can display visually the perceptions of a customer or a future customer. The product is displayed on a graph that shows its position relative to the competition. The perceptual map will help a company identify a positioning strategy in relation to the company’s competitors. In the simulation, there were three situations that solutions were needed to be identified. In the following paper, the situation, a proposed solution, and the outcome will be described. First Situation Although motorcycle sales are rising, Cruiser Thorr, Thorr Motorcycles product, is declining in sales. The purpose for the weakening is that Thorr’s target market elderly adults are growing older and are no longer interested in purchasing the motorcycle. Youthful consumers are not willing to purchase the Cruiser Thorr. Young customers prefer inexpensive priced motorcycles subsequently; youthful consumers lack a large amount of a disposable income to dispense. Also the youthful multitude does not relate with Cruiser Thorr’s lifestyle product line. This development of diminishing sales is required to reverse sales. A new marketing design needs to be put into place that will make the Cruiser Thorr more wanted by young consumers. The four considerations that is believed will make the Cruiser Thorr desirable to younger customers are the following: Cool, Service Offering, Lifestyle Image, and Price. These four considerations as it is to believe what a younger customer would...

...equally effective in producing expected outcomes. Moreover, the usefulness of BSC as a practical theory has been questioned by referring to some of its assumptions, especially the cause-and-effect relationship (Norreklit, 2000, 2003). In this paper we re-examine the cause-and-effect principle, which can be seen as one of the corner-stones of the BSC. Further, we outline alternative ways to apply cause-and-effect in practice, both analytically and organizationally. To facilitate research on BSC, we discuss some of the contingencies that may limit or support the usefulness of the causeand-effect concept. These include strategy, organization, environment and communication related issues. Key Words: Balanced scorecard, cause-and-effect, non-financial measurement, performance management, strategy, strategy map. * We wish to thank the editors, Sten Jönsson and Jan Mouritsen, for their guidance in the process of writing the paper. Further, we thank Fredrik Nilsson and Nils-Göran Olve for their encouraging and helpful comments. All remaining errors are of course the responsibility of the authors.

...Implementing XBRL Developing a roadmap for the SEC mandate Contents 1 2 4 14 What is XBRL? XBRL and the SEC Implementing XBRL Focus on quality To our clients and friends For several years now, momentum has been building towards a single electronic financial reporting standard to allow more efficient retrieval and analysis of financial information. One of the key objectives of this movement to digital financial reporting is to enhance the accessibility of financial information, which proponents believe will be utilized better, faster and cheaper. Furthermore, a digital format would support more informed business and investing decisions, including greater comparability across enterprises. The SEC has required filers to begin using “interactive data” — eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) — as the electronic financial reporting standard. This indicates the dawn of a new digital era in business and financial reporting. This document is intended to help companies develop an XBRL implementation strategy that includes an understanding of the key considerations and decisions required to create a quality XBRL submission. Thus allowing investors, analysts, regulators and other financial statement users to realize the full benefits of XBRL. It outlines the building blocks for a company’s XBRL implementation plan. The foundation of this plan is for a company to develop the necessary background on XBRL basics and the SEC’s XBRL mandate. With an implementation...

There are numerous areas of focus that come to mind when we talk about improvements for a supply chain but the process itself is not given enough significance. The research paper covers the most popular process in use, from spreadsheets to its immediate future evolution i.e. visualization tools for supply chain data. There are several tools that exist in the market, each of them have their advantages and disadvantages when used in a certain environment. Supply chain mapping is one such tool that many companies are already utilizing but the mapping tool which gives a visual representation of the entire supply chain network is only an abstract network map and so it has its shortcomings. In contrast, supply chain mapping can be utilized alongside geographic analytics giving...

This paper teases out and discusses the literature researches of XBRL from 6 aspects: the production bases of XBRL, the effect of XBRL, the classification criteria formulation of XBRL, the auditing assurance of financial reports based on XBRL, the implementation of XBRL in different countries and some researches about XBRL in China, which reflects the current status of research about XBRL relatively fully. ------------------------------------------------- Keywords: XBRL, Auditing assurance, Classification criteria 1. Introduction XBRL is one variant of XML (eXtensible Markup Language) for business reporting. XBRL defines financial data on the web with explicit semantics in a machine-readable format, making automated data analysis possible. XBRL is a standard XML reporting language to enhance the efficiency, reliability and accuracy of financial reporting. Data in XBRL format does not need to be converted from one application to another because data are independent of applications by using standard tags for data items (Farewell, 2006). The financial information is presented to the public on the Internet usually in a static format such as PDF or HTML, the XBRL technology offers a way to have dynamic financial information. XBRL can support both financial and non-financial data contexts, which distinguishes XBRL from traditional financial documents (Debreceny et...

...Inc. is the high-end segment, and customers’ age ranges from 35 to 50 years old. However lately, the company is suffering from sales decrease and loss of market share, mainly because target customers are getting older and are not interested anymore in buying into the lifestyle CruiserThorr represents. Additionally, competitors are focusing on new products sold at cheaper prices, and targeting the young generation with low disposable income. Thus, the newly hired marketing manager has been asked to revert this trend with a new marketing plan. Market research, data comparison, and mapping give a better understanding of where the company stands today in terms of brand recognition and customers’ perception. Perceptual maps are used to gather all relevant competitive information that help deciding if the product needs to be re-positioned or if there is a need to create a brand new product. Perceptual mapping is “Marketing research technique in which consumers’ views about a product are traced or plotted (mapped) on a chart. Respondents are asked questions about their experience with the product in terms of its performance, packaging,...
