...Proposal of Controls for Inflows Every company needs an adequate internal control system to minimize the risk of errors in the company’s accounting figures, attempts of fraud, and to ensure that the company abides to their production and managerial policies and procedures. Promoting employee efficiency remains important and helps keep investors apprised of the operations within the company and ensures they understand the company’s financial standing with regard to the integrity of its internal control system. Following is a proposal depicting a design of the internal controls for the inflows of a company that include cash, sales, accounts receivable, inventory, and production. Cash Key areas for the design of cash controls include: • Cash Security • Acknowledgement of Cash Receipts • Separation of duties • Review and Reconciliation Cash or cash equivalents are the most liquid asset a company owns. Cash is easy to transfer and not uniquely identifiable. Proper internal controls are crucial for inflows of cash, as cash is harder to trace. Cash Security proves the most important. Cash should remain in a secure location at all times whether in a safe, vault, or locked drawer or file cabinet. If combinations are used to secure cash, they should be changed frequently. Performing the proper background checks on perspective cash handlers remains a simple and effective method to control cash. Access to cash should remain limited and an access log should be kept for tracking...

...Jasimere Fairman IS3230 Project: Access Control Proposal In this report we will be discussing making improvements to our great company, Integrated Distributors Incorporated (IDI). We are a publicly traded company that is headquartered in Billings, Montana with over 4,000 employees in 8 locations spread all throughout the world. This multinational organization operates a fleet of freight delivery trucks at each location, while also offering freight forwarding and storage, has multiple business accounts with high level retailers, Federal, and large State governments. Recently, IDI has suffered a number of network compromises through an unsecured JV website leading to the exposure of extremely sensitive business strategies pertaining to current company documented developments. These leaks were ultimately the result of the company’s IT core infrastructure being ignored for far too long and having the majority of its operating locations running severely outdated hardware and software. This is where my team and I come in. With the understanding that this will be a process, we will be recommending a plan for phased improvements to IDI’s IT Infrastructure. Presently, the organization’s infrastructure weaknesses far outweigh its’ strengths. The obvious problem is with the hardware and software being extremely outdated, but one of major weaknesses is the lack of security implementations at some of the sites. As I completed further evaluations of some of IDI sites, the decision became...

Conclusion 13 I. Introduction Access control mechanisms operate at a number of levels in a system, from applications down through the operating system to the hardware. Higher-level mechanisms can be more expressive, but also tend to be more vulnerable to attack, for a variety of reasons ranging from intrinsic complexity to implementer skill levels. Most attacks involve the opportunistic exploitation of bugs; and software that is very large, very widely used, or both (as with operating systems) is particularly likely to have security bugs found and publicized. Operating systems are also vulnerable to environmental changes that undermine the assumptions used in their design. The main function of access...

...Alternative Proposals for Tough Gun Control Law is the Solution As violence and crime rate continue to increase, debates on tougher gun control also continue to escalate. While it is a popular notion that more weapons mean more gun-related injuries, many people vehemently oppose restriction on their freedom to own guns. Tougher gun control is an issue that is seen as black and white, though it is not. It is true that these dangerous weapons entails greater responsibility on the owner’s part. What I don’t understand is that we immediately opt to either say yes or a definite no, while saying yes means completely banning civilians to obtain guns. Saying yes on gun control absolutely does not mean a total ban. We can still buy and acquire these weapons for personal defense, while at the same time following strict policies for check and balance. Data on weapons effect does not prove correlation A psychological view known as weapons effect has been the basis for laws in gun control. The theory suggests that weapons can induce aggressive behaviour with tendencies to inflict harm when exposed with weapons (especially guns) for a relative time. While this is a good point, some studies have criticized its assumptions for its ecological validity (results cannot be used to conclude real life applications) perhaps due to the nature of the study itself. Still some argue that weapons effect does the opposite results according to other studies. For instance, results described by Kates and...

...A PROJECT PROPOSAL FOR THE INVENTORY CONTROL SYSTEM FOR CALCULATION AND ORDERING OF AVAILABLE AND PROCESSED RESOURCES GROUP 9 SIMANT PUROHIT BART MICZEK AKSHAY THIRKATEH BOB FAIGAO Executive Summary Our proposed project is a real time implementation of an inventory control system for an on-site corporate restaurant management and catering company. One such company is Guckenheimer (www.guckenheimer.com) which builds, staffs, and upkeeps corporate kitchens as well as provides catering services to corporate companies. This project is specific in that it applies to the dining domain of restaurants, but is flexible enough to be applied to many different kitchens and restaurants. In the case of Guckenheimer, they can use the software in their kitchens across the nation. The scope of this project will primarily focus on Guckenheimer’s kitchen and inventory located at the Groupon Chicago Office. Currently at Groupons kitchen, and the food industry in general, restaurant staff and managers are forced to keep track of inventory by hand. This means that they must count what they have sold and what they have left at the end of each day. They must also fill out order forms to be sent to vendors so that they can restock their inventory in preparation for the next week. This wastes valuable man hours and is a rather simple task to automate using our software. We propose a solution to this issue by developing software that keeps track of inventory in the ...

...chemical adhesive used in drying paper (XL-4). Although there was a unanimous vote among the board to construct the plant, another look has raised issues concerning the feasibility of the proposal. On top of the possibility of the denial of the proposal, there are concerns with the company that hinder the profitability and growth of the organization. First, a decision needs to be made regarding the funding for either the Swedish or Belgian proposal for the production of XL-4. There are various factors that need to be considered in the decision making process, one of which is the return on investment, as well as the possible transfer price between the divisions. Secondly, the company lacks the ability to clearly establish whether they are a centralized or decentralized organization. Issue 1: Accepting either the Swedish or Belgian Proposal After reviewing the Swedish proposal once again, Mr. Michael Gillot, Roget’s Senior Vice President, has decided to put the proposal on hold to ensure the numbers used to generate the cash flows are accurate. With both Sweden and Belgium offering individual proposals, a thorough analysis is done to determine which proposal is ideal for the organization. After calculating the net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) for both proposals, it seems Sweden has a higher NPV, whereas Belgium has a higher IRR (Appendix 1). However, the difference between the two NPV’s (approximately Skr. 13,000) is relatively small compared...

Possible marketing strategies, and benefits and risks, are explored. Finally, the type "C" Swatch should price under $30, and an exclusive distributorship should be adopted, are concluded. Furthermore, to enlarge Swatch's global market share and to achieve the economies of scale are recommended. The Swatch project was made by ETA, which produced a full range of watch movements and was known as the creator of ultra-thin movements used in expensive watches. This new watch would come in a variety of colored plastic cases and bracelets with an analog face, and ETA had designed an entire production process for Swatch. As the market share of Swiss watches shrunk sharply in the global market, ETA had faced a more and more difficult circumstance. The Swatch project under the code name “Popularius” aimed at rediscovering what the market wanted and then to supply and gain it. While problems were how to gain the potential market and how to adopt different marketing strategies to distribute and promote the new watch. The Swatch project concerned the investigation of Swatch’s potential markets and the feasibility of different marketing mix of Swatch watches and watch movements. The marketing mix of one company...
