All subsequent references in this article to the standard will be stated simply as ISA 315, although ISA 315 is a ‘redrafted’ standard, in accordance with the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) Clarity Project. For further details on the IAASB Clarity Project, read the article by Lisa Weaver, examiner for Paper P7, in the August 2009 issue of Student Accountant. WHAT IS AUDIT RISK?

...Warren E. Buffett, 1995, Case Questions The purpose of this case is to introduce the themes that we will be covering in this course. In fact, if you look at Buffett’s investment philosophy (question 3 below) and compare it to the syllabus, you will find extensive overlap. 1. What is the possible meaning of the changes in the stock price for GEICO and Berkshire Hathaway on the day of the acquisition announcement? Specifically, what does the $718 million gain in Berkshire’s market value of equity imply about the intrinsic value of GEICO? (Note that Berkshire owned 33.25 million shares before the acquisition was announced.) Geico stock price will move up on the day of the acquisition announcement. Meant, GEICO intrinsic value also increase, total value will be more than $718 million in the market. 2. How well has Berkshire Hathaway performed? In the aggregate? In its investment in Scott & Fetzer? In its investment in earlier purchases of GEICO stock? Scott & Fetzer conservatively financed with Berkshire Hathaway. Buffett offered to buy the company for $315 million. Scott and Fetzer paid Berkshire Hathaway $125 million. Buffett noted that in terms of return on book value of equity, Scott & Fetzer would have easily beaten the Fortune 500 firms. 3. Please critically assess Buffett’s investment philosophy, and prepare to identify points where you agree and disagree with him. Graham’s approach was to focus on the value of assets, such as cash, net working...

...1. Using examples, explain the difference between obscene and indecent materials. Obscene and indecent both have different meanings but are similar in many ways. Obscene material is described as disgusting or repulsive but indecent material is described as being offensive to the public. Both obscene and indecent can be view differently by the public; however, the Constitution plays a role with indecent material. Obscene material "is not protected by the First Amendment,” (The Dynamics of Mass Communication Tenth Edition, page 377) and broadcast stations cannot air obscene material at anytime. The problem with this is that no one had come up with a set standard of what obscene material is. Due to the difference in beliefs between families and individuals, no two people have the same beliefs and will not agree to a set standard of what obscene material really is. Since obscene material is can not be banned completely and therefore can be view during nighttime broadcasting. A good example of this is the adult swim channel. During the day children can view cartoons like Spongebob and Rugrats; but when 10 o’clock p.m. hit, the channel switches to adult swim when there are show with naked women and sex scenes. According to the U.S. Supreme Court, to be obscene, material must meet a three-prong test, "(1) an average person, applying contemporary community standards, must find that the material, as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest (i.e., material having a tendency to excite...

...Course Description Psychology asks, and in scientific ways attempts to answer, questions about why and how people think, feel, and behave as they do. Because we are all human and have much in common, sometimes discoveries can be applied more universally. However, psychology must also take into account differences in biology, in the social and cultural contexts of our lives, and in the individual way we interpret the world. Differences in perspective and the power of perspective to shape experience are themes that run throughout the course. We will study the major perspectives in psychology, research methods, brain and nervous system structures, states of consciousness, learning, memory, cognitive and social-emotional development in infancy and childhood, social psychological issues such as conformity and obedience, and some of the major categories of psychological disorders and therapies. You will have a chance to pursue some topics in more depth. The goal of the course is to strike a balance between giving a survey of a very rich, complex field and covering topics in depth. Both understanding of basic psychological principles and practical application will be emphasized. The aim is to enrich your knowledge of psychology and your ability to apply psychological principles to everyday life. Required Text Myers, D. (2011). Exploring psychology, 8th ed. NY: Worth.
