...Chapter One As accounting students we have studied a variety of accounting areas involving financial and taxes. The accounting information course appears to be a course that heads in a different direction then what we as students have become accustomed to. Speaking for myself I have always been drawn to the accounting field because it is a black and white area. In other words, there it is organized and has right and wrong answers, this leaving out the gray areas between right and wrong. Accounting information systems appears to be throwing us into a whole new area of the study of accounting. The fine line between right and wrong is becoming smudged into a gray area. With accounting information system we are being thrown into an area that is now unfamiliar to what we have come to know as right or wrong. This accounting information system is designed to help us think outside of the box by providing unstructured problems that will increase our ability to develop professional judgment, our confidence in our ability, and use more critical thinking. The conceptual framework was developed in the late 1970’s by the FASB to be used as a guide for accounting principles. The conceptual framework is set up as a pyramid that has three levels. The top level provides the objective of financial reporting: provide information to decision makers, the second or middle level is divided into two parts, one part is aimed at the elements of financial statements and the second part is geared towards...

...AND MANAGING SERVICES PROCESSES Flowcharting Customer Service Processes Processes describe the method and sequence in which service operating systems work and specify how they link together to create the value proposition promised to customers. In high-contact services, customers are an integral part of the operation, and the process becomes their experience. Badly designed processes are likely to annoy customers because they often result in slow, frustrating, and poor-quality service delivery. The poor processes can make it difficult for frontline employees to do their jobs as well. From that situation it can give effect to get low productivity, and increase the risk of services failure. Every services company may have their own flowchart to serve their customers. Flowcharting can be define as a technique for displaying the nature and sequence of the different steps involved in delivering service to customers, offers an easy way to understand the totality of the customer’s service experience. In this project paper our groups choose two companies that offer security service to customer which are Securiforce and Safeguard. These two companies have a same core service that offer security service to their customer or organization. Securiforce today provides a comprehensive and integrated range of services to meet the needs of a broad spectrum of establishments both in the private and public sectors such as protection services, cash in transit services, cash management service...

Calories are consumed in both food and beverages. Calories can be identified from both product labeling and calorie counters located on the Internet. Calories are burned daily in both daily living and exercise. Calories expended or burned can be calculated using calorie calculators located on the Internet. The balance of calories may be displayed in either calories or pounds and ounces. The following are examples of the information that might be provided: Calories are in balance. _ _ _ more calories are consumed than expended. _ _ _ more calories are expended than consumed. No pounds/ounces were gained or lost. _ pounds _ _ ounces may have been gained. _ pounds _ _ ounces may have been lost. Use the following computation: One pound equals 3500 calories.

...All nurses begin with the strong intention to improve conditions within health care facilities and thus improve the outcomes associated. We often think of this notion as a way of dirty living and unsanitary conditions. This does not only apply to the hygiene concerns but emotional concerns as well. When one walks into a hospital and hands over the responsibility of their livelihood bad safety, their last concern may be that the professional personnel treating them may not be qualified for the job. Structural indicators have one consider not only the demand and need for appropriate staff is adequate but also that the education is up to par for those individuals (Savitz, 2005). Do these professionals hold the degree but not the special certification to preform a specific task or duty? In this scenario, it begs to differ as to why the CNA came to remove the restraints. Was this a direct command from the RN? Is the RN burned out and understaffed causing the CNA to be the only one available to respond to this patients needs? In addition, this CNA is preforming an assessment of a potential skin breakdown/ulcer and furthermore educated the patient's family on the matter. It does not seem clear that the RN assigned to patient is in full communication and authority with the health care team causing delays or misses in identifying and treating a problem. This sheds light on process indicators which include recognition, assessment, and nursing intervention methods (Savitz, 2005)...

...Selection Structure Paper Given the following task: Selection Structure Paper, Use the Part 1: Programming Solution Proposal you developed in Week Two and select one section of the proposal that requires a selection structure. Write a 2- to 3-page paper describing the purpose of that structure and write the pseudocode for that structure. Examine any iteration control structure. If the program you described in Week Two does not lend itself well to the inclusion of a selection structure, create a new example of a selection structure. Create a Visual Logic flowchart that parallels this pseudocode. Test the flowchart to make sure that it executes properly and produces correct results. Submit the paper and the Visual Logic file. Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. The process of selection is a way for the computer to interact with the user and to be able to understand how to make choices based on the user’s point of view or interest. Selection can be understood by computers by transforming such selections into algebraic equations, and from there into binary code which is the language that the computer understands, once the program is written, it will use a compilator, which acts as the translator between computer language and human language. The process of selection allows the user to choose what to do and then it gives options where to choose from, and it gives results which vary depending on the option selected by the user, when using the process of selection...
