...Indelible Ink Machine, and Internal Control changes that I recommend you make. There are 5 main areas of control that LJB Company needs to address in order to stay in good standings with internal controls. The first internal control is the Establishment of Responsibility; “Control is most effective when only one person is responsible for a given task.”(Kimmel 339) A company should limit one employee to each area to limit the chance of illegal activities. Segregation of duties ties into establishing responsibility by assigning related activities to different employees. Documentation procedures deal with making sure that all transactions and events are documented and monitored. Physical, mechanical, and electronic controls are based on keeping safes, computers and time clocks monitored and restricted. Independent internal verification is used to audit employees and data reconciliation. The last category is called other. This deals with bonding employees who handle cash, and rotating employee duties. Based on the information you gave my colleague and my review of your company, I do not recommend you purchasing an Indelible Ink Machine at this time based on the information which gave to my colleague and my review of your company. This expensive purchase is unnecessary and can easily be avoided if you apply better internal control practices. The implementation of using numbered invoices is a good practice and should continue to be used moving forward. This practice will allow...

Jimmy Valentine was trying to live a moral life because of Jimmy’s sacrifice, honesty and determination. Jimmy Valentine was trying to live a moral life because of his sacrifices. First, Jimmy sacrifices his true identity by opening a safe in front of people that know him as Ralph. “In a minute Jimmy’s pet drill was biting smoothly into the steel door. In ten minutes-breaking his own burglarious record-he threw back the bolts and opened the door.” Second, Ralph sacrificed being noticed as Jimmy Valentine by meeting people and making friendships. The quote from the article proves this point, “Socially he was a success, and made many friends.”...

...Week 3 1) Security’s not how it was like back in the days, where all they did was lock away mainframes in the server room. Times have changed, technology has advanced and now comes in many forms. Security is very crucial to any organization, and physical security is no exception. Organizations are not just prone to cyber attacks, but as well breaking and entering, trespassing, natural disaster, fire, flood and much more. Physical security protects people, data, equipment’s, systems and facilities etc. Facility management is very important to any organization. It protects company assets. CPTED “is a discipline that outlines how the proper design of a physical environment can reduce crime by directly affecting human behavior”. It helps to provide support in loss and crime through proper facility construction and procedures. CPTED provides three main approaches to provide overall security. Which include natural access control, natural surveillance, and natural territorial reinforcement. It’s the best approach to build a facility through the CPTED approach. It’s also best to follow proper maintenance and procedures pertaining to physical security. For examples facility keys should only be assigned by the facility management and should be documented. Procedures should be written out clearly stating, how the keys should be distributed, inventoried or even destroyed given the circumstances. On any facility, it’s imperative to enforce access control, to prevent unauthorized personnel...

...> Driver's Handbook Online - Introduction Contents Getting Your Driver's Licence Safe and Responsible Driving Traffic Signs and Lights Keeping Your Driver's Licence Your Vehicle The Level Two Road Test Driver's Handbook Online Introduction Ontario's goal is to make its roads the safest in North America, and that's why the Ministry of Transportation has introduced a range of measures to improve the behaviour of all drivers, including new ones. In 1999, more than 860 people were killed and more than 84,000 injured on Ontario roads. The social and economic costs of these collisions have been previously estimated at $9 billion annually. Many collisions are caused by driver error - behaviour like following too closely, speed too fast, failure to yield the right of way, and improper turns and lane changes. And statistics show that new drivers of all ages are far more likely than experienced drivers to be involved in serious or fatal collisions. Ontario campaigns against drinking and driving, aggressive driving and promoting the correct use of seat belts and child safety seats are making a difference. Graduated licensing, which lets new drivers gain skills and experience in low-risk environments, is also helping to develop better, safer drivers. The Driver's Handbook Online gives new drivers the basic information they need about learning to drive in Ontario: the rules of the road, safe driving practices and how to get their licence to drive a car, van or small truck. The ministry...

...I am a mature safe driver, even than I recently made a mistake. I got pulled over by a cop for not stopping for a school bus. Even being a careful driver that I am, I never saw this bus. I was driving on a twisty road, where you couldn’t see past next bend. I was driving slow and monitoring my surroundings but I got pulled over by a cop and he told me that he pulled me over for passing a school bus. This was a single lane, tree lined road and even though I was following all the signs and speed limits and being careful, I never saw this school bus. I am still not sure if the bus was on side road or some service road. When I go in front of the judge, I will explain what happened from my point of view, and how sorry I am that I did not see the bus. I drive professionally and my lively hood depends on my clean record, which for the past many years, I have kept clean by driving and following all the laws and following safe driving practices. I have been driving by following the posted signs, being aware of my surroundings. I have even driven a school bus in the past, hence I am very careful to follow the rules. I will show the judge, my driving record to show that I have no DUIs or reckless driving charges in the past. I will improve by being extra diligent, taking driving classes and applying what I have learned in my class on the road. I will be careful to be more aware of my surroundings and check my mirrors and check the vehicles in front of me every 5 to 10 seconds...

...Injury Prevention: Motor Vehicle Injuries and Distracted Driving Among Teen Drivers Heather Stockman Waynesburg University Advanced Health Promotions Judith Adams August, 20, 2013 Injury Prevention: Motor Vehicle Injuries and Distracted Driving Among Teen Drivers Injuries are extremely widespread across society today and unintentional injuries remain among the top 15 killers for people of any age. The majority of people just accept these incidents as accidents, acts of fate, or a part of life although most of the events that result in injury, disability, or death are not only predictable but preventable. Beyond their immediate health consequences, injuries have a major impact on the well-being of society by contributing to premature death, disability, increased medical costs, and lost productivity. In addition, the effects of injury affect not only the injured person but also family members, friends, coworkers, and communities (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2013). The Injury and Violence Prevention objectives for 2020 include a wide range of issues that can improve the health of the nation if appropriately addressed. One such objective focuses on motor vehicle crashes that are due to distracted driving. This paper will focus on that initiative. INTRODUCTION Distraction is any activity that could divert a person’s attention away from the primary task of driving. There are three main types of distraction. The first is when the driver takes his eyes...

Many things can go wrong when driving your own car or someone else’s vehicle. It also depends on whether or not you are driving in storms or just regular cold weather. Of course, when you are driving in cold weather you need to be aware of other vehicles on the road because your mirrors are bound to get foggy and icy.

...Did you know that thirty two percent of people believe that texting and driving is completely safe? Some states have now made it illegal to drive while using a hand held cell phone. This law is now enforced in almost every state in America. Although some people may believe that it is safe to use a hand held cell phone while driving it is not because it is a distraction from the road and it puts others on the road in danger as well. To begin with, studies have shown that the average person has a reaction time of four seconds while driving. It has also been proven that driving while using a hand held cell phone cuts this reaction time by two to three seconds leaving little to no time to avoid accidents.

...Argumentative Essay Bailey Tollefson WR097/EL113W 11/26/15 There is a tremendous issue in America with teens driving. A big reason why is because car crashes are, “the number one killer of teens in the United States” (“Safe kids Worldwide,” 2014). Many parents realize the danger that their kids are in once they get their license, and get freaked out. This is because teens are inexperienced, they easily get distracted, and most do not realize the importance of safe driving, and how unsafe driving can affect their lives. Teenagers have little experience once they get their drivers licenses. This is a major problem, because when you are young you feel invincible. This certainly is not the case. In 2013, 2,163 teens in the United States ages 16–19 were killed, which means that six teenagers died each day (“Get the Facts,” 2013). These crashes were mainly from lack of experience. “The first 500 miles for teenage drivers are the most crucial. During this time, they are 10 times more likely to be in auto crashes than adult drivers” (“Teenage Car Accidents,” 2012). A big concern for driving at night is reduced road visibility. “In 2009, 61 percent of teen crash deaths occurred between 6 P.M, and 6 A.M… this is primarily due to a combination of the visibility challenges caused by dark conditions, and slower response time brought about by fatigue, and a lack of experience driving under such conditions” (Canfield, 2013). Also animals are more active at night, which would lead to an animal...

...Note: the following case is copyrighted and may be copied and used only by current users and owners of the textbook, BUSINESS ETHICS: CONCEPTS AND CASES by Manuel Velasquez. Domino’s Delivers In May 1993 Domino’s paid $2.8 million to settle a lawsuit brought by the family of 41-year-old Susan Wauchop who was killed when her van was struck by a Domino’s delivery truck being driven on a highway in rainy weather.1 The family alleged that the 19-year-old driver was speeding to meet Domino’s guarantee to deliver a pizza within 30 minutes. Domino’s argued that weather and road conditions were the real cause of the accident and refused to change its 30-minute guarantee. Not only was the guarantee popular with its customers, it also set Domino’s apart from its numerous rivals in a highly competitive and crowded business.2 Domino’s Pizza was founded in 1960 when two brothers, Tom and Jim Monaghan purchased a pizza store in Ypsilanti, Michigan. A year later Jim traded his half of the business to his brother for a Volkswagen Beetle and Tom Monaghan became sole owner. By 1983, the company had expanded to 1000 restaurants. Ten years later the company was well on its way to owning over 4000 outlets within the United States, and over 500 outside the United States. In addition, over 1000 Domino’s Pizza restaurants were owned by others as franchise operations. Domino’s had become the fastest growing pizza company in the world. Analysts felt that the key to Domino’s rapid expansion was a promotion...
