...have dominated the business news for the last few years, as well as recurring announcements of large settlements in class action suits against major accounting firms, the prospect of a malpractice case against an accounting firm would at first glance seem attractive. Juries are presumably more predisposed to view accountants with renewed skepticism, when hardly a news cycle passes without some reference to accounting fraud, investigations, and the occasional large-scale debacles like the demise of Arthur Andersen, not to mention the high-profile criminal prosecutions that have recently gone to trial. Daniel J. Hurson, formerly Assistant Chief Litigation Counsel at the SEC, practices securities enforcement and accounting malpractice law in Washington, D.C. His website is www.hursonlaw.com. 25 26 The Practical Lawyer April 2006 Accountant malpractice litigation is a minefield of arcane judicial doctrines layered over pleading and discovery traps that can bury the best plaintiffs’ counsel. Indeed, among the players in these sagas, the accountants sometimes offer the best litigation target. The companies themselves have often tanked; the errant executives dismissed, awash in legal problems, and without insurance coverage; but the accountants (Andersen notwithstanding) live on and prosper. They are generally deep-pocketed and amply insured, and the surviving “big four” firms are vast international organizations with billions in revenues. Even the middle-tier...

...Legal Issues of Performance Management Legal issues associated with a performance management system can vary, but as Herman Aguinis states “performance management systems that are fair and acceptable to the employees are also legally sound” (Aguinis, 2013). The following paper will review some of the most common mistakes found in performance management systems that allow for legal implications to take place. The primary focus will be directed towards procedural standardization and implementing them equally with all employees. The secondary focus will examine how improper documentation leads to legal implications because of a lack of showing reason for decisions of no pay raise or even termination of employment. Procedural Standardization Setting up a performance management system has many aspects, but one of the areas it could be detrimental for an organization is how they standardize procedures for all employees to follow when describing another employee within reviews. In this manner there cannot be what is referred to as a double standard. Double standards are defined by Dictionary.com as “any code or set of principles containing different provisions for one group of people than for another” (Dictionary.com, 2015). A great example of procedural standardization is best found in an article written by Kathleen Davis for the Fast Company website. Within Kathleen’s article she describes how words appear on men and women’s reviews and the manner of which they appear to present...

...Human Resource Management and the Workplace Cassandra M. Rhymes BUS303: Human Resources Management Professor Beverly Williams April 26, 2010 Human Resource Management and the Workplace Human Resource Management requires a careful balance and coordination between corporate policies, local, state and federal regulations, and employee rights within the workplace. This paper will review a few of the principles examined during this course and applied to current work environments. Specifically, this paper will review the effect human resource management has on planning within a company through hiring, planning, and recruitment through the use of compensation and other benefits that are important to employee satisfaction. Discussions within our classroom environment included EEO and affirmative action, human resource development, safety and health, and employee and labor relations. While these are not the only components of human resource management, these are the items we addressed in class. Within my own company, our human resource department is divided among the divisions, with the main corporate office housing the human resource group for the entire company, and a small human resources group in the St. Louis office for the division I currently work for. For purposes of this paper, I will use the St. Louis information, as it is the group I am most familiar with. Additionally, I will address the corporate policies for the United States groups, as those apply to our...

The law was also enacted in response to several major corporate and accounting scandals; two of the most infamous cases are Enron and WorldCom. This research paper will focus on the analysis of four issues and discuss how the Sarbanes-Oxley Act affected the following subjects: A. 1. Audit committees of public company board of directors responsibilities since SOX 2. Sarbanes-Oxley section 404 on internal control 3. The accuracy of public company financial statements and the cost of capital for public companies 4. The main advantages and disadvantages of Sarbanes-Oxley Act B.

...evolved over the years, for example in the early 1900s, leadership was defined as, “the ability to impress the will of the leader of those who lead and induce obedience, respect, loyalty, and cooperation” (Moore, 1927). Today, leadership scholars agree that there is not a single common definition for leadership (Rost, 1991). The process of leadership is the interaction conducted between the leader and the followers whereby the leader influences a group of followers to achieve a common goal. Leadership and management are not synonymous. In numerous ways, leadership is a process similar to management. Both leadership and management involve influence, working with people, and effective goal accomplishments. The process of management was developed around the turn of the 20th century, as a way to eliminate disorder and confusion, and bring efficiency into an organization. Of course, along with similarities there are differences between management and leadership processes. Management is about seeking order and stability. Leadership is about seeking adaptive and constructive change...
