...Question 3: Briefly discuss the key events that led up to the Sarbanes- Oxley Acts of 2002 and the Creation of the PCAOB. Answer 3: In the mid 1990s America experienced a flourishing economy. The stock market rate rose at increasing rates. This motivated accounting firms to desire to expand their business. In the 2000s there was a bubble burst, stock prices plummeted as investors fled the market. IPOs also disappeared and this event led to the revelation other flaws in the market. It became apparent that the boom years had been accompanied by fraud. Corporations such as Enron, WorldCom, Tyco and Adelphia had a lot of misconduct in business principles. There was lack of fairness and integrity due to conflict of interest. Corporations focused on short-term goals. A lot of managers adjusted financial result to meet the projected results. Question 5: Compare and contrast management’s responsibility for the entity’s financial statements with the auditor’s responsibilities for detecting errors and fraud in the financial statements.

...Running head: RESEARCH CRITIQUE: BLOOD STREAM INFECTIONS Research Critique Tom Jones Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi School of Nursing Nursing Research 5314 Fall 2005 Research Critique Introduction Blood stream infections associated with central venous catheters account for approximately 250,000 infections in the United States annually. The vast majority of these infections are preventable through education on best practice (Coopersmith et al., 2004). Best practice principles include hand washing, maximum sterile precautions, and labeled catheter dressings. Central venous catheters are routinely used in the critical care setting; therefore, posing an increased risk of infection. Furthermore, increases in morbidity, mortality, and cost are a result of blood stream infections from central lines (Warren et al., 2004). Research Problem Blood stream infections increase morbidity, mortality, cost, length of stay; furthermore, the literature shows that many of these infections are preventable. A staff education has proven to be cost effective and proficient in decreasing blood stream infections (Coopersmith, et al., 2004). Warren et al. (2004) states, “The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends the utilization of health-care worker education is an important element in programs aimed at the prevention of hospital-acquired infections” (p.1613). A review of the literature explain nurse bedside behavior after education on hand washing...

These topics will start with the basic principles of an investigation then lead into the criminal investigation basics then learn the proper evidence acquisition and management the next step in the guide to helping you with the investigation process is employee and administrative investigations ending with personnel investigations. Investigation Principles Investigations are the examination, study, tracking, and the gathering of factual information (Sennewald-Tsukayama 2006). With this being said the investigation process is more of an art form than it is science, but science in many investigations plays a large part. The person that is doing the investigation is the gather of facts; this person must hypotheses and is able to draw a conclusion that is based on the information and the evidence. The basic principle in investigation is that the process is a comprehensive activity that involves the collection of information with the application of logic and the ability to use sound reasoning. The basic end result in any investigation is that it is a factual explanation of what has happened if the issue or incident is that of history, or what is occurring, or if the issue is of the present (Sennewald-Tsukayama 2006). There are two types of investigations...

...Fayol stands the test of time Henley Management College, St Peter Port, Guernsey Keywords Management, Model, Planning, Organizing, Co-ordination Abstract Planning, organising, co-ordinating, commanding and controlling ± these are the elements of management according to Henri Fayol. Less known, but no less important, are Fayol's principles of management. Fayol was born in 1841 and died in 1925. His Administration Industrielle et Generale was published in French in 1916 but was not translated into English until   1929. Fayol's work is often quickly rejected either because of its age or because it is believed to have been superseded by observational findings. However, Fayol's work was based on observation. This paper considers some contemporary models of management (Hales, Kotter, Mintzberg) and argues that Fayol's elements of management are not refuted but are rather reinforced by more recent findings. The paper concludes that Fayol's work stands the test of time. The five elements of management and 14 principles of management are briefly presented. Michael J. Fells Fayol stands the test of time 345 Introduction Henri Fayol was born in 1841 and died in 1925. After 30 years of an eminently successful career as a practitioner, Fayol devoted the remainder of his life, from 1918 to 1925, to promoting his theory of administration (Fayol, 1949). Fayol was perhaps the first to note the need for management education (Brodie, 1967). His Administration Industrielle et Generale...
