...Assignment 1: Careers in Accounting Isaac I. Huff Strayer University Assignment 1: Careers in Accounting When it comes to pursuing a career in the accounting field, there are many options. According to AccountingEDU.org there are four primary fields in the arena of accounting. Public accounting, Management accounting, Governmental accounting, and internal auditing are the primary fields with many sub-fields that can be entered into. Accounting, of all types, is a constant demand field. A brief search with the term “accountant” yielded over 500 results on USAJobs.gov alone. Two of the accounting fields that interest me most are Forensic Accounting, and Tax Accounting. These two areas appear to be the most involved and ever changing areas in accounting. A Tax accountant is accountable for the collection of tax-related information, reporting to taxation authorities at the federal, state, county, and local levels in a timely manner, and advising management on the tax impact of various corporate strategies. And a Forensic Accounting is the examination of financial records that will lead to or result from litigation. The results of a forensic accounting investigation can be used as evidence in court, and so are usually heavily documented. With the ever-changing US tax code and the increased scrutiny that business is beginning to face, due to things like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, these two areas can be the difference between jail and smooth operation. Forensic Accounting is a field that...

...Safety-Kleen Replacing CRM System Generates Large Savings and New Efficiencies for Green Company Brief description of the business Safety-Kleen is a leading environmental services company, located in Plano, Texas providing services to over 270,000 customers, and is the largest green developer of re-refining and responsible cleaning solutions in North America. The company is still at the forefront of developing practical green processes for business, just as they were the day the company was founded. In fact, for many years, Safety-Kleen was the only company that provided this service. From 1954 to 1959, Ben Palmer invented the Parts Washer. The parts washer was a success from the start, and he decided in the early 1960’s not to sell his machine, but to lease it to the customer and service it by removing and replenishing the used solvent. The business problem Safety-Kleen needed a CRM solution that was easy to use, support, could seamlessly connect with its existing line of business applications, and was cost-effective. Safety-Kleen previously used Salesforce.com. Integration tasks were difficult and network latency caused performance issues. Salespeople were wasting valuable selling time duplicating lead entry. * Technology and Cost Concerns: With the use of Salesforce.com, and several other technologies, Safety-Kleen’s employees had to work around a fragmented data repository, which caused inefficiencies and resulted in unreliable information. It was a challenge...

...Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Many companies today use information as a basis to increase productivity, producing quality products, providing quality services, creating customer confidence, and making timely decisions. As such, information technology has become the prime reason for the success and failure of a company to compete in business. This illustrates the impact of information technology on business operations today. As a result, designing an information system of high quality is important so that organisations can compete successfully in the global market. Information systems experts need to understand the business operation of a company before they can design a comprehensive system. Every business is likely to be different. As an example, business transactions at a supermarket, bank, and hotel require information systems that are different and Unique. A systems analyst applies a technique called Business Process Modelling to Represent company operations and information requirements. A systems analyst works in an information technology based department. This person is Responsible for planning, analysing and implementing information systems. 1.1 Background of the Study Funeral homes arrange services in accordance with the wishes of surviving friends and families. The funeral home often takes care of the necessary paperwork, permits, and other details, such as making arrangements with the cemetery, and providing obituaries to the news media. ...

...While financial management deals with a wide array of decisions, we can group them in three main areas: investing, financing, and working capital. Every decision we take in the context of financial management will have to include these three aspects. Let’s consider the following real-life scenario: Last year, Boeing announced its decision to open a new $750 million manufacturing plant in South Carolina. This decision required Boeing to assess the potential investment return on the project and evaluate how this project compares to other potential investments. This process – planning, assessing, and managing long-term investments – is capital budgeting. Capital budgeting decisions require determining the revenues, costs, and cash inflows of a project, determining the required return of the investment, and prioritizing among a number of potential alternatives. At the same time, Boeing needed to consider the financing side. How will the construction of the new plant be financed, for instance? The financing decision deals with how to obtain the needed funds to undertake a project; the potential sources of funds; and the assessment of the costs and terms of every option. But further, it deals with the optimal mix of debt and equity – the capital structure. How much should be borrowed through loans and bonds? Should the firm issue new stock? How would increased borrowing affect the price of the stock? Each potential source of funds needs to be assessed and the right combination...

...Green computing 1 Green computing Green computing, green IT or ICT Sustainability, refers to environmentally sustainable computing or IT. In the article Harnessing Green IT: Principles and Practices, San Murugesan defines the field of green computing as "the study and practice of designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers, and associated subsystems—such as monitors, printers, storage devices, and networking and communications systems — efficiently and effectively with minimal or no impact on the environment."[1] The goals of green computing are similar to green chemistry; reduce the use of hazardous materials, maximize energy efficiency during the product's lifetime, and promote the recyclability or biodegradability of defunct products and factory waste. Many corporate IT department have Green Computing initiatives to reduce the environmental impacts of their IT operations.[2] Research continues into key areas such as making the use of computers as energy-efficient as possible, and designing algorithms and systems for efficiency-related computer technologies. Origins In 1992, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency launched Energy Star, a voluntary labeling program that is designed to promote and recognize energy-efficiency in monitors, climate control equipment, and other technologies. This resulted in the widespread adoption of sleep mode among consumer electronics. Concurrently, the Swedish organization TCO Development launched the TCO...

...Uncontested UI Supremacy In the battle between Microsoft Business Solutions (MBS) and the UK-based the Sage Group plc (LSE: SGE.L) for the small-to-medium enterprise (SME) market segment, technology choices will be a major factor. The previous parts of this note detailed the strategies of these two major vendors and analyzed how the market would respond. But, going a mile further, there are some important areas where the synergy and a bridge between MBS and the rest of the "classic" Microsoft world could take place, such as the previously mentioned "user experience" mantra. The basic hypothesis is that Office (i.e., Word, Excel, and Outlook) constitute the core of the user experiences of many millions of existing and prospective desktop customers. Leveraging that ubiquitous look-and-feel acquaintance in the MBS product lines (and in those of rapidly increasing independent software vendors [ISV]) is something that can add tremendous clout to MBS sales efforts—with the supposedly minimal training for the information technology (IT)-resource constrained SME market. In fact, the ongoing Outlook, Excel, or Word user interface (UI) metaphor moves may speak volumes about where the entire market is going. Possibly the most vocal in that regard could be the recent announcement made by Microsoft and SAP that they are jointly developing a product that will integrate back-end SAP business processes and transactional data into Microsoft Office front-ends. The product, code-named Project...

...GREEN CLOUD COMPUTING ABSTRACT: Cloud computing is a highly scalable and cost-effective infrastructure for running HPC, enterprise and Web applications. However, the growing demand of Cloud infrastructure has drastically increased the energy consumption of data centers, which has become a critical issue. High energy consumption not only translates to high operational cost, which reduces the profit margin of Cloud providers, but also leads to high carbon emissions which is not environmentally friendly. Hence, energy-efficient solutions are required to minimize the impact of Cloud computing on the environment. In order to design such solutions, deep analysis of Cloud is required with respect to their power efficiency. Thus, in this chapter, I discuss various elements of Clouds which contribute to the total energy consumption and how it is addressed in the literature. I also discuss the implication of these solutions for future research directions to enable green Cloud computing. The paper also explains the role of Cloud users in achieving this goal. Table of Contents ABSTRACT: 2 1. Introduction 3 2. What is Cloud computing? 6 2.1 Cloud Computing Characteristics 7 2.2 Components of Cloud Computing 8 2.3 Cloud Computing Deployment Models 10 3.

...Reporting Now that you understand how goods are produced and sold in SAP, section 3 will show you how to extract information. While SAP excels at keeping the production process on time and error free, another benefit of the system is the huge amount of readily accessible information it stores. The primary cause for SAP’s success in the ERP market has come from its shared database structure. By using a single large database to store ALL system data, information is kept incredibly accurate and is always up to date. It did not take SAP users long to realize that this also meant that management could use the system information to make highly educated business decisions. Which would you rather have to make an important decision: a report which was compiled over a week with information from last month’s sales, or a report which was built a few minutes ago, using the company’s up to the minute SAP database? There are many different ways to form useful reports with SAP. The most common is to run one of the many preconfigured reports which come with the system. If the preconfigured reports do not show you what you wish to see, you have the option of creating custom reports using two methods: Report Painter and Report Writer. Report Painter is the easier of the two. The Report Painter tool sets up a report template for you. All you have to do is decide what information you want to see, and enter the appropriate key figures and characteristics in the blank report...
