...system by identifying individual activities as fundamental cost objects. “The development of an ABC costing methodology could typically be analyzed with focus on the following phases: 1. The determination of the significant operational activities. 2. The identification and collection of costs specific to each of these activities. 3. The identification of the cost drivers for each of these activities. 4. The determination of the activity unit costs. 5. The allocation of the costs to the cost objects based on the activity consumption (Buys, Pieter, Green, Kevin)”. It should be understood that an ABC system is not intended to replace the general ledger, but to be viewed as a tool to translate the general ledger. The Activity Based Costing system will identify activities (things the company does) of the value chain, calculate the individual costs of activities, and assign costs to cost objects. The activity-based technique will reach its full potential when it has expanded from Activity Based Costing to Activity Based Management. When looking to adopt the Activity Based Costing system, The Hampshire Company will need identify the activities the company performs. Identifying activities can be difficult and they will need to evaluate the tasks performed and decide which tasks will be classified as separate activities and which will be combined. After identifying the activities, the team will develop a flowchart of all the steps and processed needed to produce the umbrellas...

...and Compliance Policy Why is a security and compliance policy important? Businesses would not be in operation without a good security and compliance policy. Businesses need to be able to comply with government and state requirements. Security safeguards employee data, customer data, and business data. Without proper security, a business would compromise the quality of their data. There are several steps to identifying security and compliance procedures. It is necessary to any infrastructure to perform a risk assessment. This identifies any gaps in your infrastructure, classifies what is acceptable risk, and what isn’t. The first step is system characterization. In system characterization, you are identifying system components and their criticality in the environment. Production equipment would have a higher criticality in the event of an outage or virus outbreak versus a test machine which is generally open and does not contain safeguarded information. This process is important and pieces of equipment should be labeled for criticality. Servers need protection in the company, as well as other data center resources such as routers/switches. If a malicious user or rogue user were to interrupt business functionality by gaining access, this is a great risk to business continuity. Threat identification is the next step in a risk assessment. It is important to do port scans, virus scans, and observe permissions in an environment. This helps identify any possible threats...

...Custody Process Limiting Access to the Evidence * When a piece of evidence is collected, there are numerous individuals who will have access to it before the case goes to trial. The investigator, evidence technician, property officer, laboratory technician, prosecutor and defense attorney all may have custody. Each individual in this chain has a responsibility for the safe-keeping and preservation of the evidence while it is in their possession. Initial Collection * Before any evidence is removed from the crime scene, there should be an evidence custodian designated as the person in charge of initiating and maintaining all evidence. This person needs to document the crime scene location, as well as his time of arrival. There should also be a crime scene log established, witness list and documentation of identification, arrival and departure times of all law enforcement crime scene personnel. Record Keeping * The investigator who handles the evidence initially should affix her name, badge number and assignment to the package containing the evidence. When the evidence leaves the officer's possession, a record should be made in her case notes identifying to whom the evidence was given, the date and time, and the reason it was turned over. A signed receipt should be obtained from the person accepting the evidence and another signed receipt should be obtained when the item is returned. When the item is returned, the officer should examine the item and determine if...

Identification of Person a)Identification by fingerprint Fingerprint Identification is the method of identification using the impressions made by the minute ridge formations or patterns found on the fingertips. No two persons have exactly the same arrangement of ridge patterns, and the patterns of any one individual remain unchanged throughout life. Fingerprints offer an infallible means of personal identification. Other personal characteristics may change, but fingerprints do not. By comparing fingerprints at the scene of a crime with the fingerprint record of suspected persons, officials can establish absolute proof of the presence or identity of a person. Fingerprint is a biometric modality that is often used in a security setting. Fingerprint databases are in use worldwide for the purposes of personal identification, border control as well as to facilitate criminal forensic investigation. Many countries have multiple fingerprint databases, with each database serving a specific purpose. In Malaysia, there are at least 4 different fingerprint databases; namely PDRM-MAFIS (Polis Di Raja Malaysia- Malaysian Automated Fingerprint Identification System), PDRM-BIOFIS (Polis Di Raja Malaysia-Biometric...

... How DNA has changed 1 The technology has changed many aspects of the criminal justice system, and the use of DNA evidence represents one of the best examples on how technology has change the criminal justice system. The use of DNA has changed by allowing other materials beside blood to be used as identification. The DNA technology is behind what it takes in solving criminal cases, and the meaning between guilty and not guilty or life or death. There are various ways that the criminal justice system uses DNA technology. DNA has been used to analyze and prove innocence or guilty of suspects of crimes with great accuracy. DNA is part of everyday life. IT is the heredity material in humans abs almost all other organisms. In 1994, the DNA Identification Act established a national DNA database, run by the FBI, called CODIS (Combined DNA Identification System), which links all states. While the creation of DNA databases often can be defended case by case, the development of this technology serves an end in itself apart from any particular application. It provides an inescapable means of identification, categorization, and profiling, and it does so with a type of information that is revelatory in a way few things are. While being part of an investigation, DNA has help solve crimes. The DNA evidence is gathered at the crime scene such as blood, sweat, semen, etc. There is a couple of ways that DNA left behind can be...

...financial reporting (Dopuch and Sunder, 1980). Notwithstanding these issues, the FASB and the IASB go further towards a focus on capital providers needs in their joint project of revision of the Conceptual Framework when writing that financial reporting is not primarily directed to other groups than capital providers. There is a possibility that the objectives assigned to financial accounting as a social activity is directed by a dominant group that imposes its will on all others involved in the activity by making its own objective become the objective of the social activity (Dopuch and Sunder, 1980). Therefore, when criteria are used to justify the identification of primary users, there should be a comprehensive analysis of their definition, their importance for each category of users of financial reporting and if other criteria should be taken into account before reaching strong structuring conclusions on the objective of financial reporting and on identifying their primary users that may reflect the will of a dominant group. As a conclusion, trying to identify a primary user of financial reporting in order to reduce and facilitate the determination of the objective of general purpose financial reporting may not appear as the most appropriate avenue. An alternative may be to try to identify the common information needs that could be shared by a large range of users,...

...leaves on the Common Leaves sheet. Look closely at those leaf samples and devise a dichotomous key that helps you identify them. Be sure that your dichotomous key contains only pairs of statements about a single characteristic. For example, a pair of statements might be: A. leaf margin smooth B. leaf margin toothed However, you should avoid pairs of statements that do not address the same characteristic. The following pair, for example, would not be very informative in your key: A. leaf margin smooth B. leaf type needle-like As you develop your key, test it out with the 10 leaves provided on the Common Leaves sheet. When you've developed a key that identifies all 10 leaves, type your statements, “go tos,” and identifications, following the format in the example below. The example is based on this lesson’s dichotomous key for birds. |Statement 2a |The bird has a crest of feathers on the top of its head. |go to statement or |blue jay | | | |identify bird | | |Statement 2b |The bird has a smooth head. |go to statement or |3 | | | |identify bird | | ...
