This is because the section should summarize BRIEFLY the entire paper. There should be one or two sentences about the purpose of the report, a one to two-sentence description of the company and then a quick summary of the two vulnerabilities and the two solutions that you have identified. Company Overview Here you should identify which of the two company scenarios you are using and briefly summarize the organizations products or services, and business processes. Two Security Vulnerabilities Software Vulnerability Remember, you need to choose only two vulnerabilities from the three categories: hardware, software and policy. It is recommended that you make them limited in scope and very specific. Also, before starting on this section, be sure you have a very clear idea of the definition of the following terms: threat, vulnerability, risk, and consequences. A vulnerability is a weakness such as an unpatched Web server, but it need not be a “weakness” per se. It can simply be an asset exposed to risk unnecessarily. A Web server, no matter how secure, is still exposed to risk. However...

...the purpose of providing high quality training to clients to improve the productivity and performance of participants. To analyse the business plan, we will be assessing the report in its relevant sections. Firstly, the cover sheet identifies the key element of the business name. However, other relevant details such as the author – assumed to be the joint owners Michael Chapman and Elliot Berkley – contact details and a brief statement of the purpose have all been incorrectly omitted. Accordingly, it appears that the cover page of the report is not fulfilling its objective and providing the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the report when first viewed. Accompanying the cover sheet is the executive summary. The general purpose of executive summaries is to provide a comprehensive summary of the reports features, which can be read in isolation. Hence, the executive summary begins with summarising the main points of the business plan. However, this has been undertaken in an extensive and incoherent manner. The executive summary then proceeds to outline the objectives – written guide, intended audience, scope – then follows with the objectives of the overall company. The mission and keys to success are also detailed in a concise and effective manner. Accordingly, overall the executive summary has failed to include the what the business plan is requesting from the reader. Secondary to this, it appears a description of the business and its structure has been neglected...

They all have different strength and weaknesses that need to be weigh up carefully to fit the technique to the situation. The techniques investigated are: · International Country Risk Guide (ICRG) uses different variables to measure a country’s creditworthiness and estimate its ability and willingness to comply with its financial obligations. · Contribution Analysis (CA) is a logic model that evaluates the degree of contribution that the intervention is making to the observed measures. · Measuring Progress in Conflict Environments (MPICE) measures the effectiveness of diplomatic, military, and development efforts · Conflict Sensitivity Monitoring and Evaluation provides a detailed understanding of the conflicts context. Some of these techniques are more theoretical than others and can be applied in different speed and with different understanding of the conflict zone. Contents 1.

...Complete overview of an Audit Executive summary A financial audit refers to the verification of the financial statements of a company by an audit firm in order to express a professional opinion regarding their credibility. This process begins when a client approaches the auditor if deemed reputable the auditor accepts he begins by planning how to carry out the audit.

...INTRODUCTION: Project Status Reports | The status report formats/examples start on page 3What This IsFive different formats and types of status information that can be used to summarize and communicate project status to the team and Management. * Document formats to capture status on one page and easily hand out, post, or email. * Simple 3-slide set for presenting top-level status to management in meetings * One-page format for summarizing status on multiple projects. Why It’s Useful Regular status reports help ensure that the team has clear visibility to the true state of a project and that Management stays properly informed about project progress, difficulties, and issues, by periodically getting the right kinds of information from the project manager. Frequent communication of project status and issues is a vital part of effective project risk management.The reports should let management know whether the project is on track to deliver its outcome as planned, and must highlight to management any place where their decision-making or direct help is needed.How to Use It 1.

In communication planning with your team and stakeholders during the project front-end, decide on the initial period for the status report and who should receive it. This can be documented in your Communications Plan. 3. Decide on appropriate definitions...

Best’s assessment of three categories of risk: Economic, Political and Financial System Risk. • Pakistan, a CRT-5 country, is itself the site of military and terrorist activity. Its fundamental lack of political stability is a challenge to its economic and financial outlook. Economic Risk Moderate Low High • Regional instability and domestic bureaucratic inadequacies challenge this economy that, though recently liberalized by the government, supports a relatively low-income population. • In addition to the need to eliminate terrorist violence in Pakistan, the government must continue to work to strengthen the legal system and transparency in government to increase growth in Pakistan’s economy and industry.
