Ans.-Under Aligned Documentation System, different forms used in the International trade transaction are printed on the paper of the same size and in such way that the common items of information are given the same relative slots in each of the documents. With the effect from 1.10.1991, the new standardized documents came into effect. This is referred to as The Aligned Documentation System based on the U.N. layout key. The documents are aligned in such a manner that the common items of information are given in the same relative slots. This system also helps to prepare one" Master Documents" embodying information common to all documents, and xerox all the aligned documents by suitable and reproduction techniques.

They are challenged with poor performing Information Systems (IS). Simple Gateway IS produce multiple versions of documents utilized by staff to make poorly informed business decisions. This paper is an analysis of the challenges to the key Simple Getaways stakeholders, actual performance and desired performance. A technological solution is defined and supported to address the alignment of the IS to the Simple Gateways business objectives. Simple Getaways, Inc. Request for Proposal Response 3 Simple Getaways, Inc. Request for Proposal Response The current implemented IS in the Simple Gateways is designed to provide control benefits. The IS was intended to facilitate information to provide the stakeholder the ability to make better decisions and actions. (Chew & Gottschalk, 2009) The current IS produces multiple versions of the same documents used by the office staff. The offices are segregated from each other with their own file servers making e-mail channels the current means to share documents from one store to another. The multiple versions does not assure the information to be accurate or up to date. The staff is then left with misinformation to make decisions. The Simple Gateways IS does not provide a process to perform administrative tasks like approving sick leave or vacation...

...Books are symbolic of learning, and the educated. For years now, having a home library was the luxury few could afford. The lucky few who had one were immeasurably proud of it, and rightly so. Today, not only are books beginning to lose the value that they once had in the eyes of Man, their place in society has been increasingly challenged by the newborns of the digital age. New trends such as the increasing pace of life, the accelerating rate at which new information is being pedalled forth, and the ubiquity of the effects of capitalism have driven people to become more efficient. The by-product of such phenomena is that Man is taken as its slave, and only the interests of the market are considered, instead of the individual. Unfortunately, this has dealt a severe blow to the significance of the book in modern society. All indicators seem to point out that the book is unworthy of its more efficient counterparts like the personal computer or tablet. Yet, the book holds a special place in our hearts: its final trump card. We should not be too quick to oust the book out of our lives even with the proliferation of suitable alternatives, for there is still indeed worth of the hard copy even in the frenzy of modern society. Evolution seems to have taken mankind back to square one, where the modern man (like his ancestors thousands of years ago) worries about his next meal, appointment or payment. "Next" seems like the buzzword of modern society, with people constantly looking for...

...workflow. CHALLENGES AFFECTING KEY STAKEHOLDERS The processes currently being used at Simple Getaways for communication and the distribution of information are no longer suitable for the organization. Documents from each office are stored onsite on a Microsoft Windows file server, making it difficult for other offices to access and use the information they contain. Currently the method used to share files with other offices is via email. This results in multiple copies of the same document residing on various computers at multiple office locations. The duplicate versions are not updated when the original document is modified which leads to different versions of the same document being used. Some business decisions are being made using information from the outdated documents. For example, a document containing airline ticket pricing may be used when creating price quotes for customer travel, but the price for airline tickets fluctuates regularly. If these inaccurate prices were used in a quote, the company has the potential to lose money on the transaction and may be obligated to fulfil the terms of the quote even though it was based on incorrect information. Additionally, when a document is shared between multiple offices and they each make alterations and return the document, the...

...overwhelming success of the company, they have grown from one office located in California to 12 all across the United States. Due to this expansion, the communication between headquarters and human resources has become increasingly challenging. When employees request leave or there is a change in an employee's file, a paper document is used. When headquarters requests a document from one of the offices, that particular document is either mailed or faxed. The hard copies are stored in a file cabinet. The file sharing has also become an issue because each location utilizes a Windows file server. The offices do not have central file sharing. That does not allow for real time file sharing. The current way employees work on files together is by emailing each other. When the revisions are completed, the file goes back to the original employee. This causes a delay in processing and outdated paperwork. I propose the company utilizes a central server that every office has access. With a new file sharing system, anytime a file is changed, the revised version is immediately available for any employee to access. I recommend a more up to date way of using paper forms. Once a form is used, the employee scans and saves to the central server. That way the administration can access employee files or leave requests anytime they need without any delays. I believe this change to the way Simple Getaways, Inc. shares files is the best option because every office is connected....

...ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Artificial intelligence is the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science that aims to create it. AI textbooks define the field as "the study and design of intelligent agents where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1956 defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines. The field was founded on the claim that a central property of humans, intelligence—the sapience of Homo sapiens—can be so precisely described that it can be simulated by a machine. This raises philosophical issues about the nature of the mind and the ethics of creating artificial beings, issues which have been addressed by myth, fiction and philosophy since antiquity.Artificial intelligence has been the subject of optimism, but has also suffered setbacks and, today, has become an essential part of the technology industry, providing the heavy lifting for many of the most difficult problems in computer science. AI research is highly technical and specialized, and deeply divided into subfields that often fail to communicate with each other.]Subfields have grown up around particular institutions, the work of individual researchers, the solution of specific problems, longstanding differences of opinion about how AI should be done and the application of widely differing tools. The central problems of AI include such traits as reasoning...

...increasingly globalised, competitive business environment. HR records encompass a wide range of data relating to individuals working in an organisation, which may be stored in a variety of media, such as computer database or paper files. There and advantages and disadvantages to both media: 1.1 Paper records/ Paper Files: A risk analysis needs to focus on the secure storage and the prevention of threats such as fire or theft and relevant personnel can only access those files. There are legal requirements that employees are required to meet in terms of the length of time that specific documents are to be retained, so thought needs to be given to storage space and all files must be easily retrieved and accessed when required. The business must implement and maintain a good document discipline, i.e. no paper should be left laying around for unauthorised access, and a clean desk at night policy must be mandatory. However, there are some benefits to collecting and retaining paper files. Paper files are not susceptible to computer viruses, they are user friendly, and there are benefits to their portability. Paper Files supporting HR: This system of saving files proves particularly helpful while signing important job contacts, Signing of important legal documents that show...

...Record Keeping has been around for a long time now. Depending on the laws that governed us, we are requiring to maintain records. A good document retention policy could last up to seven years. A litigation hold is basically keeping all records pertaining to the case, or until the case is over. Depending on the records at hand, state and federal laws require organizations to maintain records. During litigation hold notice a good checklist to follow, is a good idea. A document retention policy basically establishes a policy that keeps records of documents and files for a certain amount of period, so that a court can examine a business practices over a time period. Courts and juries don’t have little tolerance for organizations that don’t maintain their records. They often give penalized corporations for keeping their records, by handing out big fines. A document retention policy is established after a litigation hold is given to an organization. Depending on the litigation hold certain documents must be maintain in order to prevent penalties. So if the litigation hold is pertaining to a HIPPA violation at a college, the college must maintain all records to include, emails, documents, faculty involvements, telephone conversations, backup tapes, hard drives, flash drives and etc. The policy has to be clear and understanding to faculty. The files must be in preserved in original format, and cannot be altered at any time. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was passed through the senate...

On April 5th, 1968, a teacher in Riceville, Iowa named Jane Elliot conducted an exercise on her third grade class students that dealt with the concept of discrimination that would grow up to be a renowned experience. The exercise was the result from Martin Luther King’s assassination. The documentary is an eye opening into the world of racism and discrimination. The dictionary defines racism as “a doctrine that one race is superior†and discrimination as “the denial of opportunities and equal rights to individuals and groups because of prejudice or for other arbitrary reasons†Throughout the American society . and through its history you can find discrimination. The documentary shows us that discrimination doesn’t just go to the extent to the color of your skin or what your ethnicity is, but can fall into any physical characteristics, your social status, where youâ €™re from, having a developmental disability, simple as being a woman and what not of other things, and in this case the color of your eyes.

...Part of your job as a staff associate in an auditing firm is to document your findings in working papers (also known as workpapers) and schedules. Workpapers summarize your audit actions, such as planning the audit. Schedules show what steps you take to reach a conclusion. For example, to support your conclusion that cash is correctly stated on the balance sheet, you may prepare a schedule showing all bank reconciliations affirming that they reconcile without discrepancy to the balance sheet. Your CPA firm specifies how you prepare all your audit documents. However, keep in mind that every workpaper stands on its own. This means that its purpose, source of information, and conclusions must be clearly evident. To prepare workpapers, you want to use the following elements: A descriptive heading: It should include the client’s name, the workpaper’s purpose, and the date under examination. Indexing: Like a book, every workpaper has a unique page number showing its place in the audit file. Cross-referencing: To improve your efficiency, you want to cross-reference your workpaper to related and supporting workpapers. Doing so eliminates the duplication of work. For example, if you file the client’s bank reconciliations in Section A and you refer to them in Section F, you don’t need to make copies of the bank reconciliations to place in Section F. Your cross-reference could be “See bank reconciliations in Section A.” Tick marks: For the sake of brevity...

...all the deadlines and pay dates. She alongside Miss Duprey who is known to be very goal oriented and always thinks more about the future. Unfortunately, Miss Duprey had a problem with her limbic system so processing and controlling her emotions were difficult for her. Miss Duprey continuously had mood swings when she did not take her medicine on time. This made it hard for her to evaluate a situation when her emotions were aroused. At 4:00pm that day, a document that was placed onto Miss Lila’s desk went missing when she stepped out. On entering the office she realized, it disappeared. She then turned to Miss Duprey to ask her for the document. Miss Duprey replied stating that she did it already and it was sent up to type. The very next day Mister Manning, the supervisor came looking for the same exact document. When he asked Miss Lila about it she denied ever seeing it. He then, asked Miss Duprey who said that she last saw it on Miss Lila’s desk. Miss Duprey forgot that she was the one that did the write up for the document and sent it to type. While Miss Duprey went her merry way, Miss Lila felt it was her obligation to right Miss Duprey’s wrong and have her “name back in...
