...determined that a more efficient technology system could bring vast improvement in these areas. The Radio Frequency Identification technology could relieve meaningless data entry while providing a better security of Riordan’s inventory and equipment. What is an RFID system? The Department of Homeland Security defined RFID technology in 2012, “Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology uses radio waves to identify people or objects. There is a device that reads information contained in a wireless device or “tag” from a distance without making any physical contact or requiring a line of sight.” The RFID works as an automated data collection (ADC) technology. Some have suggested that this technology has begun to replace the traditional method of identifying and tracking items by manually scanning a barcode. “Bar codes and associated technology are being replaced with RFID tags and readers in hospitals. The tags are essentially smart labels and, in most cases, have a chip and an antenna as their main components. The radio waves generated during the reading process are able to penetrate many materials and therefore can be employed where...

...receiving department. It is here that the stock manager will review the items on the truck and compare them to the truck bill that is shipped along with the supplies. Assuming that all the supplies on the truck match the items listed on the truck bill, the stock manager will manually load the incoming inventory into Mo's QuickBooks Point of Sale system based on the items barcode number. Also, it is at this time that the stock manager will release the funds and pay the supplier for the received inventory. Next in this process is the actual sale of products to the customers. A given customer will come into the store and make their selections. Once the customer has decided on what products to purchase then a request for sale will be made with the sales clerk. The sales clerk will scan each item's barcode to retrieve the sales data that has been stored into the POS system currently in place. Once the transaction is complete the inventory that was purchased will then be removed from the inventory stored on the POS system. If a customer were to decided that he/she needed to return an item, due to a manufacture's defect, then the item would be returned to the store and a claim would be filed with the sales clerk on duty at Mo's. Essentially what happens here is the sales clerk will load the inventory back into POS system and rescan a replacement item for the customer or return their money. Once the customer has been dealt with, Mo's will file a...

...and may detain a person for the purpose of a search (Huxley, 2012). An officer who has reasonable grounds for suspicion may detain the person concerned in order to carry out a search. Before carrying out a search the officer may ask questions about the person’s behaviour or presence in circumstances which gave rise to the suspicion according to Code A 2.9 PACE (Home Office, 2006). However, “Under common law a detained person is not obligated to answer questions” (Rice v Connolly 1966). In Rice v Connolly, Lord Parker CJ states: “It seems to me quite clear that though every citizen has a moral duty… to assist the police, there is no legal duty to that effect, and indeed the whole basis of the common law is the right of the individual to refuse to answer questions put to him by persons in authority, and to refuse to accompany those in authority to any particular place; short of arrest of course.” Johno has every right to not answer the questions asked by the officer, so refusing to say where he was is not an offence. If the officer has reasonable grounds to suspect he will find a prohibited item, under section 1(3) of PACE he is also able to search a person (Huxley, 2012). As the officers were keeping observations on what had been reported as a ‘crack house’, and had seen Johno entering and leaving the premises on two occasions, they would have reasonable ground to suspect to find a prohibited item on Johno, however they did not question him to eliminate or confirm a reasonable...

...can cause. Lead can cause serious health effects: kidney problems, anemia, hearing loss, development delay and growth problems. The only way to know for sure if you have lead poisoning is to have blood test. People who are most at risk of harmful effects from lead in their body include (Risk Factor, 2010): Babies and children under 6 years of age. Infants and young children are more likely to be exposed to lead than are older children. They may chew paint chips, and their hands may be contaminated with lead dust. Young children also absorb lead more easily and sustain more harm from it than do adults and older children. Children living in older homes. Although the use of lead-based paints has been banned since the 1970s, older homes and buildings often retain remnants of this paint. Children living below the poverty level. Although any child can be exposed to lead, children from low-income families are disproportionately affected, often because they live in older or unrenovated housing. Nonwhite children tend to have higher rates of lead poisoning. People with lead amalgams in their teeth. Although lead is no longer used to...

...provide employees and management a way to manage inventory. Having a proper plan in place it will save the company money, time, and provide a balances way of having stock available for customer. Assigning product code numbers on clothing merchandise upon delivery from vendors allow the item to be accounted for and to re-ordered the item and ensure that it will always be in stock and not create overstock that hurts company profit. Not meeting customer demands for a product by not keeping it in stock lessens the chance of repeat customers. There are a few disadvantages to having an automated inventory system such as human error due to inventory not being logged properly, software issues such as power outages, and software errors. Viruses and hacking can be an issue as well. Providing a backup of the inventory is a great way to ensure no total loss of inventory information. Policy and Procedures will need to be developed for employees and management to ensure everyone is being consistent with documenting inventory and to reduce errors. A case study done on the Herman Goelitz Candy Co. showed the difference having an automated inventory system had on the operations of the company. By utilizing this time of inventory control it gave them greater control over their merchandise and manages larger quantities of the inventory to be more efficient (Ingrassia, 2001). Upgrading inventory systems will help companies further reduce errors in shipping. In a case study written by Rick Gurin...

...Since its founding, the website Amazon.com has attracted criticism and controversy from multiple sources, where the ethics of certain business practices and policies have been drawn into question. Amazon has faced numerous allegations of anti-competitive or monopolistic behavior, both in and out of court. This includes documented instances of price differentiation, enforcement of controversial patents against competitors, attempts to prevent discounted direct selling by publishers, and a declared intention to cease working with third-party print on demand services in favour of its own. Questions have been raised concerning the company's legal compliance. In 2002, Amazon faced a challenge to the legitimacy of their Canadian operations, although that case was subsequently dropped. A 2009 ruling in Japan found that the company, which had tried to avoid paying corporate tax in the country, was in fact liable to pay. Controversy over taxation has arisen on multiple occasions: It was reported in 2012 that Amazon is under investigation in the UK, while in the US the company has attracted criticism for only collecting sales tax from customers in five states. Compounding these problems, there have been reports of poor treatment of workers, with allegations of summary dismissals for health problems and anti-unionization tactics including mass layoffs. Some controversies have centered around content. The bookstore has carried titles such as The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure and...

...flavor. Braising of meat is often referred to as pot roasting, though some authors make a distinction between the two methods based on whether additional liquid is added. Cream is a dairy product that is composed of the higher-butterfat layer skimmed from the top of milk before homogenization. In un-homogenized milk, the fat, which is less dense, will eventually rise to the top. In the industrial production of cream, this process is accelerated by using centrifuges called "separators". In many countries, cream is sold in several grades depending on the total butterfat content. Cream can be dried to a powder for shipment to distant markets.Cream skimmed from milk may be called "sweet cream" to distinguish it from whey cream skimmed from whey, a by-product of cheese-making. Whey cream has a lower fat content and tastes more salty, tangy and "cheesy".[1] They are also used in variety of food products.Cream produced by cattle (particularly Jersey cattle) grazing on natural pasture often contains some natural carotenoid pigments derived from the plants they eat; this gives the cream a slight yellow tone, hence the name of the yellowish-white color, cream. Cream from goat's milk, or from cows fed indoors on grain or grain-based pellets, is white. Deglazing is a cooking technique for removing and dissolving browned food residue from a pan to make a sauce, known as a pan sauce, that is often made to accompany sauteed meats.

...was recorded as revenue when it was received on December 13. Barbor was not billed until January 2. The order was not shipped until after the year end on January 2. The remaining balance owing was recorded in accounts receivable and sales. The inventory was excluded from the ending inventory count as well. The issue is whether this is the appropriate time to record the revenue or if another time is more appropriate. The other issue is that the balance owing is not a receivable until the product has left the warehouse. The cost of the sofas should also be included in inventory. Analysis According to ASPE 3400, revenue cannot be recognized until: 1. The seller of the goods has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership, in that all significant acts have been completed and the seller retains no continuing managerial involvement in, or effective control of, the goods transferred to a degree usually associated with ownership. Not met: MD has not yet provided any goods to the customer, they still owe them an obligation. As such, the couches have not been transferred and the revenue recognition criteria have not been met. 2. Reasonable assurance exists regarding the measurement of the consideration that will be derived from the sale of goods, and the extent to which goods may be returned; and Met: The deposits have...

...Introduction Lab safety is the most crucial part when working in a laboratory. Following all the proper precautions and acknowledging the lab protocols will ensure that everyone in the laboratory does not get harmed in any way. The three modules reviewed in this lab included: personal safety protocols, proper hand washing techniques, and proper disposal practices. Reviewing and practicing all three of these modules helped me recall and understand the importance of lab safety. Methods and Materials The first portion of the lab was over proper hand washing techniques. Proper hand washing includes using water, soap, a nailbrush, and paper towels. First you remove all jewelry from your hands and wrist. Next, you turn on the water and then apply soap to your hands. You must rub your hands together and scrub for at least 20 seconds. During this process of scrubbing your hands, you will use the nailbrush to clean under your...

...INTRODUCTION This afternoon I inspected room 23c of the college for the purpose of identifying any safety hazards which could affect users of the workshop. I have listed my observations, together with actions, which will require to be taken ensuring the college presents a safe place to work for students, lecturers and visitors. I would thank you for your assistance in providing me access to the facility and have highlighted some of the more serious deficiencies below, which will require immediate attention. The actual inspection sheets are appended to the back of this report. 1. GENERAL HOUSEKEEPING The standard of general housekeeping was mixed, but many of the deficiencies could be easily overcome. There were a good number of trip hazards, which should be immediately removed to safe storage areas. Some storage facilities available were not being used, whilst the storeroom appears to have many items which should be kept elsewhere. Apart from the trip hazards, some hydraulic oil is presenting a slip potential. The large number of total hazards listed indicates a problem with training and supervision as well as a potential lack of overall storage capability. 2. MACHINERY Some machines had relatively small faults, which could be easily rectified e.g.: lights not working, shields needing cleaned and gap adjustments required. Some shields were broken; however, some other hazards were more serious with in many instances, safety features removed from the...

...because without enough stock, production and sales will grind to a halt. Stock control involves careful planning to ensure that the business has sufficient stock of the right quantity available at the right time. Internal control is the process designed to ensure reliable financial reporting, effective and efficient operations, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The internal control system provides for safeguarding of assets and proper recording of transactions. This research is done about the inventory internal control system in Burger King outlets located in Portmore. Companies should store inventory in secure spacious warehouses so that inventory is not stolen or damaged. Goods and resources of similar type should be kept in the same general area of the warehouse to minimize confusion and to ensure accurate counts. In an aid to control stock most companies use physical inventory counts which are a way of ensuring that a company's inventory management system is accurate and as a check to make sure goods are not being lost or stolen or cycle counts which is conducted periodically throughout an accounting period as a means to ensure that the information in its inventory management system is correct. A company's investment in inventory is usually a large one, and it may be comprised of a large number of merchandise items that can be readily stolen and resold. If the inventory contains mostly raw materials, then keeping track of it is essential for ensuring...

...6 In my opinion Hope was not justified in deciding that the costs were for tooling modifications. There was not sufficient evidence to come to this conclusion, just some complicated explanations from USSC and inaccurate purchase orders and invoices. The evidence was not relevant to the audit objective. The specific products with modifications should have been traced back to their purchase orders. Instead the auditors just took the explanation of these orders from management. Finally the reliability of the evidence was not high, USSC had a lot to lose if it was concluded that they were indeed general production and the General Manger for Lacey had changed his position numerous times. The only reliable evidence was that of the independent law firm that concluded the purchase orders and invoices were not for tooling modifications. 5 The evidence that hope collected that supports USSC's claim that the charges in question were in fact for tooling modifications was the General Manager of Lacey Corporation (A division of Barden Corporation) goes back on his previous statement and confirms that the purchase orders and invoices were in fact for tooling modifications. USSC explained their position and said that they had instructed Lacey to make certain tooling changes that would result in improved efficiency in production of USSC products. When the audit team asked to take a tour of the Lacey plant to examine the actual production process the Lacey General Manger informed the audit...
