...ggrgegregrgregrg fefe A report or account is any informational work (usually of writing, speech, television, or film) made with the specific intention of relaying information or recounting certain events in a widely presentable form. Written reports are documents which present focused, salient content to a specific audience. Reports are often used to display the result of an experiment, investigation, or inquiry. The audience may be public or private, an individual or the public in general. Reports are used in government, business, education, science, and other fields. Reports use features such as graphics, images, voice, or specialized vocabulary in order to persuade that specific audience to undertake an action. One of the most common formats for presenting reports is IMRAD: Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion. This structure is standard for the genre because it mirrors the traditional publication of scientific research and summons the ethos and credibility of that discipline. Reports are not required to follow this pattern, and may use alternative patterns like the problem-solution format. Additional elements often used to persuade readers include: headings to indicate topics, to more complex formats including charts, tables, figures, pictures, tables of contents, abstracts,and nouns summaries, appendices, footnotes, hyperlinks, and references. Some examples of reports are: scientific reports, recommendation reports, white papers, annual reports, auditor's reports, workplace...

...Data Analysis and Interpretation: In this report we have focused on the public sector banks i.e. the nationalized banks and SBI and its associates. We have collated the data for these two groups of banks and used them as one. We can consider multiple output and input measures, which are in particular applicable to the Indian Banking industry. However for this case we have considered output as deposits and inputs as capital and labour costs. Following this approach, we have defined output as the rupee value of total deposits at the end of the year. We have measured labour by the number of employees which comprises of all the employees viz., officers and other employees i.e., clerks and sub staff. Capital input is a crucial input in the production process and it is the most complex of all the inputs to measure and has been taken as the value of the net fixed assets of the banks. We already have the formula for Cobb-Douglas production function: F (K, L) = A.Kα.Lβ Here K represents capital, L represents labour and A, α, β are Positive constants. In order to calculate the value of A, α, β we need to convert this equation into a linear one. Taking the natural logarithm of both the sides we get, logeF = logeA + α logeK+ β logeL Where logeF = Y, logeA = C, logeK = x1, logeL = x2, α= A, β= B Now we plot the multiple regression line for the variables F, K and L through the data obtained for the public sector banks over the range of years , and we obtain the values for the...

Dorner was after any and all law enforcement and anyone involved with them and LAPD had no idea what else was in store. The manhunt lasted for a little over a week and authorities had no idea where he was or what his next move could have been. Somehow, they caught up with him finally and it all ended with a cabin on fire and Dorner allegedly dead. ABC 7 was not subjective, they reported the information they had, and the reporters did not seem to make subjective comments in the first report. Some information I found odd to be reported was the preschool Dorner attended. Has the reports continued, it started to seem like all the stations were being subjective in their reports. Fox 11 news was the most subjective; the reporters shared how terrible they thought the events were and hoped for Dorner’s capture. In both stations the information that was omitted or never spoken of in detail was how good of a person everyone knew Christopher Dorner as. There were people who wanted to share their experiences with him and who have known him for years and never thought of him as a killer, but apparently none of that mattered at this point. NBC 4 was the most objective, there were no opinions, and they reported the information they had. All news stations seemed to omit any good information on the suspect, but at that point they were...

Participants of the clergy currently are vital to report child abuse in 27 States and Guam (Mandatory Reporters of Child Abuse and Neglect, 2012). In different lines of work it is more vital than other job professions. People who are in the line of working as social workers, childcare providers ,and teachers are more involved with children on a day to day basic so they are essential to report assumed child abuse. The media can service growth in quantities by states that include clergy in this group by stressing cases of child abuse in their place of residence.

With people speaking out and offering solutions lawmaker knows what options they have and how the residents would be pleased with these solutions. In Indiana it is very important that child abuse should be reported. In Indiana mandatory reporting has existed for 15 years and if not reported the person can face jail time. If mandatory reporting does not exist, it still should be that any adult that is around and notice this type of thing should report to save the child.

...for accountability by the public has influenced reporting for not-for-profit and government entities. First, it must be understood on where the money is coming in from to these types of entities. The not-for –profit sector receives money from the government, pledges, contributions and donations. The government receives money from taxpaying citizens and may be financed through bills or laws passed through Congress and the Senate. In order to maintain integrity with these entities, the people that the money comes from need to know where their hard -earned money is going. There have been at least two boards set up: the Governmental Accounting Standards board and the Financial Accounting Stand Board. These boards have installed several statements of standards that tell what type of items needs to be reported. They also set the standard on how to report these financial statements. These recommendations have come down from audiences such as the one reading this memorandum, the nonfinancial audience. The boards mentioned above are reviewing audit reports that receive federal grants and donations. This is to make sure independent audit firms are in compliance with all regulations. Another thing that has come down from the nonfinancial audience is the change in the reports has made it easier and simpler to understand for people that have a complete grasp on numbers. Each person that reads a financial report will be able to easily understand...

...Corporate Social Responsibility, Course 2016 FE1 EDHEC Nice Tutorial 3 BP, Deepwater and Sustainability Reporting The Deepwater Horizon oil rig fire and explosion on April 20, 2010, killed 11 men and caused one of the largest marine oil spills in history. The leak from the undersea well flowed for 87 days and polluted an estimated 68,000 square miles of the Gulf of Mexico waters and nearly 500 miles of coastline from Louisiana to Florida. At the moment of the accident BP was the leaseholder and operator of the Maconda well located off the coast of Louisiana. The company was ultimately responsible for conducting operations there safely and in respect of the environment. BP hired Transocean Ltd (the owner of the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon) to provide the vessel and drilling crew to implement BP’s operations of the Maconda well. 1 Investigations established that bad management on the Deepwater Horizon resulted in poor safety on the rig. The US chemical safety board concludes that a last-ditch safety device on the underwater well had multiple failures and wasn't tested properly. It found that the cause of the initial explosion involved multiple screw-ups with cement, drilling mud, fluid pressure, botched tests, management problems and poor decisions. The blowout preventer sealed the well temporarily, but then it failed and that caused the massive spill. 1 For a description of BP’s implication in the Deepwater Horizon accident you can also read Cherry...

...As the director of a local television station I have two breaking news stories to share with our viewers. I have decided to report about the vote of the city council to close the city parks three days a week to save money. The second story we will report on will be the death of a celebrity. I decided to go with the council vote as my lead story because of the impact it has on the local population. Closing down the parks for three days will force the parents to find alternative places for their children to play. In today’s society children recreation is defined by Xbox, Wii and PlayStation. With rise of obesity among our children limiting the availability of the parks for the sake of money is poor politics. The city council should reconvene to find new approaches to saving money besides closing city parks. One submission is that we as a local television station can help promote a fund-raiser for the sole purpose of raising fund to keep the parks open for one or three of the days. Reporting on the death of a celebrity does not have the local concern of effect of the city parks story. Another reason I have chosen to make this my secondary story is that this story will possibly be reported on a larger media outlet. As a local television media we believe committed to our hometown citizens should be focus. Also putting the celebrity’s death second still keep our local informed of national news. By us reporting about the death of the actor will still maintain...

...almost 7,000 public companies found that some 75 percent said they operated in only one industry segment during the 1985—1991 time frame [ (Reason, 2001) ]. Because many companies were not providing expected segment information, the FASB replaced FASB 14 with FASB131. Under FASB 131, segments are defined from a management perspective--how management organizes segments within the enterprise for making decisions and assessing performance [ (Albrecht & Chipalkatti, 1998) ]. Under FASB 131, the management approach to segment reporting requires that segment information must be consistent with a firm’s management or organizational approach. FASB 131 was established to help the SEC see how companies are managed through the eyes of the company management. This means that companies had to start reporting the same information that they use internally for evaluating segment performance and that is used in deciding how to allocate resources to segments [ (Alfonso, Hollie, & Yu, 2010) ]. FASB 131 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. It requires that a public business enterprise report financial and...
