...Internal Control Procedures For Petsmart Jayla West University of Phoenix August 31, 2014 I chose Petsmart as my topic for my paper. Mainly because I have pets and that is where I purchase all my necessities for the animals that I truly treat like my kids. I thought it would be interesting to see what the internal procedures for this company are. Petsmart has an audit committee which is selected by the Board of Directors, and is comprised of at least three board members who remain independent of the company and the management team. This is mainly because of the NASDAQ National Market rules that are in place and must be followed. By following these rules outlined, all committee members will meet the financial literacy requirements of the NASDAQ, and at least one member will meet the financial expertise required by the NASDAQ. The purpose of the Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and accounting and financial reporting processes; the audit of the Company’s financial statements; the compliance by the Company with its systems of internal accounting and financial controls and legal and regulatory requirements; the independence of the Company’s external auditors and the performance of the Company’s external and internal auditors. The committee is allowed access to all financial books, records, facilities, and personnel of the company in order to properly...

...Medical Billing and coding compliance is very important to the billing world. Billing management starts at the first patient contact and ends only when the account has been paid in full. . In between, there are a series of important steps, each of which is critical for accurate billing and proper reimbursement. In this essay we are going to discuss the importance of the linkage code, implications of incorrect medical coding, and how physicians and payers fee are related to the billing compliance. We are also going to discuss what steps we can take to meet the compliance standards. When claims are filed correctly they will show the connection between the service being billed and the diagnosis code. The linkage code helps determine which procedure goes with which diagnosis code. If the linkage codes are not correct this will cause the claim to be denied. Linkage codes help the payer to determine the medical necessity for the service provided. Payers will determine the coverage by medical necessity. Services that are considered to be of nonmedical necessity are not covered under an insurance policy. It is important that the billing specialist be aware that different payers will have their own set of medical necessity edits. The implications of incorrect medical coding can cause issues for both the medical provider and the patient. Coding incorrectly can cause denial of claims. Providers would lose their patients trust, causing them to seek health care elsewhere. Providers can...

The commercial arbitration represents a jurisdictional way of settling commercial disputes. It means that the hearing and the settlement of the dispute between parties is performed by a person or persons chosen or agreed to by them.

INTRODUCTION ...................................................................... 1! LACHES IS AND SHOULD BE AN EQUITABLE DEFENSE ............ 2! LACHES IN AN AGE OF STATUTES OF LIMITATION ................... 8! A MIDDLE COURSE IN PETRELLA ......................................... 17! CONCLUSION ....................................................................... 18! I. INTRODUCTION The famous Martin Scorsese movie Raging Bull and an ancient doctrine of equity will make a joint appearance later this month at the U.S. Supreme Court. On January 21, 2014, the Court will hear arguments in Petrella v. Metro:Goldwyn:Mayer, Inc.1 The case involves copyright infringement claims about the movie, and about the extent to which those claims are barred by the doctrine of laches. Laches is a defense that was developed by courts of equity, and it is typically raised in cases where a plaintiff has delayed her suit without good reason. Petrella raises two big questions about how laches fits into contemporary American law. One is whether it applies to all claims or only to equitable ones.2 The other is how it is affected by a federal statute of limitations. Is laches displaced, on the theory that Congress has spoken by enacting the statute of limitations, so that it would violate the separation of powers for a court to substitute its own equitable doctrines? Or does laches...
