...if a fraudulent activity occurred or not. If there’s no one in your organization with the experience or skill set to handle an accounting fraud investigation, hire an outside professional in order to uphold the credibility of the investigation. The main focus of an accounting fraud investigation is to collect the pieces of the puzzle and put them together to create a clearer picture of what happened. There are three main pieces in the accounting fraud puzzle: the pre-investigation, evidence collection and investigation interviews. These three activities help investigators get the information they need to complete the puzzle and report on the investigation. Pre-Investigation You need to know what you’re looking for. Set objectives at the outset of the investigation to make sure you know what documents you will need to obtain, professionals you’ll need to involve and people you’ll need to interview. The easiest way to gain greater insight into each of these areas is to conduct a thorough pre-investigation. The pre-investigation will help you make sure you have the facts of the initial complaint straight.

...IIBM Institute of Business Management Examination Paper Human Resource Management Subject Code-B102 Section A: Objective Type & Short Questions (30 marks) MM.100 Part Two: Answer 1. Career planning involves efforts on the part of the organizations to provide avenues for growth to its employees. Certainly this growth should be accompanied by development. The other side of the coin is the role of employees in career planning. It involves effort on the part of employees to clearly think through and decided areas in which they would like to make a career for themselves. When employees have assessed their career needs and have become aware of organizational career opportunities, the problem is one of alignment. The crucial role has to be played by HRD in ensuring this alignment to build up morale in the organization. A systematic choice of development techniques like training, special assignment, counseling and rotational assignments should be made to ensure this alignment. Employees are often uncertain as to the type of work that would suit them best. There are a number of evaluation instruments available to determine basic aptitudes. Human Resource Development Managers should be able to guide employees by administering these instruments on them. Employees should also find out whether they are loners or socially active. These exercises with some assistance from HRD Managers should help in career need assessment. Realizing that employees have...

...did not have the alumni network in New York, they tried to attract more high quality professionals from U.S. top 10 schools. For each school, a team captain is assigned so that students have a constant and familiar point of contact. Recruiting process for new outside associate started from company presentation at “core business schools” on campus which worked as the first screening interview. The next step was on-campus official interview which tested candidates for ability to work in investment banking as well as for cultural fit. Then, qualified applicants took part in “Super Saturday” and have five half-hour interviews with short breaks. Chip Rae is director of recruiting at SG Cowen who had a responsibility for the recruiting process. He tactically changed some recruiting process. For example, in the past the firm defined the U.S. top 10 schools as core school, but he enlarged it to the top 25 schools because the students SG Cowen hired from the top 10 schools are close to the best students in the next 15 schools. Rae asked associates or senior associates to conduct the first round interview because junior bankers are suitable to assess day-to day skills of candidates. Meanwhile he made sure senior bankers attend at Super Saturday to judge if candidates are a promising investment banker. Rae also tried to choose people who can act as a representative of the firm and develop corporate culture. Problem/ Opportunity SG Cowen does not have a standardized hiring process and...

...attention, damage can be caused and grounds given for complaints. Feedback to the rejected candidates can help reduce the disappointment because it can give unsuccessful candidates practical information about what to do differently in future and how to enhance their skills and experience. For the appointed candidate, it provides the beginning of their development in their new job. Making Win-win decisions The final decision to appoint or reject candidates is usually made after an interview. The information collected throughout the previous selection activities can be collated to form a report on each candidate. This report will include an assessment on each candidate against the pre-determined selection criteria and recommend which aspects are in need of further exploration. What interviewers look for Overall interviewers attempt to see evidence of well roundedness, competence and success. A survey of personnel executives found that personality and demeanor during the interview affects hiring decisions the most. The second most important factor was experience, followed by specific skills and qualifications. Expansive resumes were given the least importance. Candidate Assessment Report...

...If you were Stephen Conner, who would you hire, and why? In the case study of “Recruitment of a star” there are four candidates for the job offered by Stephen Conner. They are Gerald Baum, David Hughes, Sonia Meetha and Seth Horkum. Among all, my choice is Seth Horkum. There were several positive aspect which made him my first option such as his time management (being at interview before the schedule), his prior experience with PowerChip company (Upcoming client for RSH), his long term commitment (15 years of service @ Jefferson Brothers) which allows dependency and loyalty. With all the above aspects and the intelligence he exhibited in the interview makes him the best fit for the job. What problems does Stephen Conner face? When Stephen let Peter go, the biggest problem was to find the right replacement at the earliest. So the time was the key factor because it was the time when they were in need of a senior analyst to get started with the new client (PowerChip Company). Apart from that, he was facing a lot of concerns from the senior executives of the organization about his decision of letting Peter go. In fact they were more upset with his decision of making Rina who was an assistant to peter and joined the organization just 3 years ago as a substitute for Peter. What should Peter's replacement look like, and which of the candidates best fits this description? (Page 4) Peter was extremely intelligent and his analytical skills were superior. So if one has to replace...

...Examine the advantages of using structured interviews in sociological research (20 marks) There are different forms of interview, the main division being between structured and unstructured. Structured interviews result in quantitative data that can be turned into statistics, which sociologists can use to examine trends and patterns in behaviour. Positivists believe there is an objective social reality that can be scientifically studied. They favour structured interviews, because to study something scientifically, their research methods must be reliable and representative. Structured interviews are a standardised means of research; this is because they use the same set of questions for everyone. Often they use pre-set responses that respondents much choose their answer from, making collation of data much easier for the researcher. Interpretivists on the other hand, do not approve of structured interviews, they believe them to be fundamentally flawed because the respondent is not always free to answer in the way they wish. The data from structured interviews is directly comparable, due to the fact they use fixed questions and answers. They are also easily replicable and therefore useful in checking results of other interviews. If the questions and answers were different in each interview, like they are in unstructured and group interviews, the researcher could not compare responses over time in a longitudinal study. Structured interviews also have a very high response rate. Unlike...

...things such as staffing levels, productivity, any adjustments that need to be made, and performance appraisals. Job analysis plays a major role in organisations and it is important to remember that it is an analysis of the job and not the person. Job analysis is also important when it comes to the selection process as this will be based on the job description which should be written from the job analysis provided. There are several methods in which a job analysis can be carried out. These could be; interviews, questionnaires and observation and all methods have their advantages and disadvantages. Interviewing the incumbent(s) The interview method of gathering information needs to be carefully structured and conducted in an open and transparent manner. They are a good way of obtaining valuable information, however the interviewer must have a rapport with the interviewee to feel comfortable enough for them to openly discuss their job role. Questionnaire Like an interview, the questionnaires should also be carefully structured to bring out the importance of the job aspects. These can usually be completed relatively quickly and are cost effective. However, the difficulty with a questionnaire is that the person answering the question may not interpret the question in the same way as the person that wrote the questionnaire. Furthermore, the...

Then again took an aptitude test but finally didn’t give offer to anyone. - Then came Coca Cola on Day 2. They organised GD in the groups of ten each and then there was a single interview of about half an hour which mainly consisted of HR based questions. The topic of the GD was “Are Engineering students wasting time in studies ?”. The interview mainly focussed on the commitment to work with them and asked whether I did any activity depicting leadership skills. - Coca Cola shortlisted candidates with medium profile like moderate CPI with few extracurrecs. I had a target of gettng placed in Qualcomm from second year itself. It came on Day 2 and I got a call from Qualcomm in the middle of the interview of Coca Cola so I could not take their call.

Team Work Culture; enjoy working in a close knit team, have lots of interdependence, friendly and supportive colleagues, and cooperative and sharing atmosphere. After exploring the resource in the Phoenix Career Services I realized there are a lot of resources that believe might actually be very useful like the Interviewing link where you can go and they have help with conducting pre-interview research, preparing for your first interview, how to answer common interview questions. Which I think I will really explore that link, beings interviews seem to be the toughest part about job searching for myself. I think the resources in the Phoenix Career Services are wonderful resources for students to follow their career choices and with the extra help with certain areas of job searching can make it easier to obtain employment in a new career. I know that I will definitely be exploring the resources more and utilizing them as much as I possibly can.
