Selye’s general adaptation syndrome (GAS)

Unit VI Reflection Paper
Throughout this unit, you have learned that certain links exist between emotions, motivation, and stress. In fact, if one does not handle his or her stress effectively, numerous health issues could arise. For this assignment, you are to compose a reflection paper in which you examine a current or past stressful event in your life. You must embrace Selye’s general adaptation syndrome (GAS) and describe your reactions to the stressful event during each stage. You should describe the various facial expressions that you displayed as you progressed through each stage as well. Be sure also to address the following questions: What coping strategies did you embrace to help solve the problem? How was your professional life affected by the stressor? How does Maslow’s hierarchy of needs relate to your stressor? What motivated you to solve the problem? Did you experience additional conflicts with other individuals as you endured this life trial? Tips for writing your reflection paper: Introduction: This is meant to give a concise overview of the featured stressful event and is usually one paragraph in length. In your introduction, you will reveal the featured stressful event that you will examine for this paper. Summary: This contains your description of the required areas listed above in the opening statement, including Selye’s GAS, your facial expressions, coping strategies, professional impact, and relationship conflicts. Analysis: In this portion of the paper, you should provide information from the textbook to analyze the impact that the stressful event could have placed upon your health, future goals, and motivation. You may use sources identified from the CSU Online Library to assist your analysis efforts, but this is not required. Conclusion: This summarizes your final reflections for the featured topic. For instance, what implications have you uncovered during your research that you will apply to future stressful events? Your paper must be at least one page in length, not counting the title and reference pages, but it can be longer if necessary to address all aspects of the assignment. It should be formatted in APA style. You are required to utilize the textbook, but other sources may be used if needed. You may visit the CSU Online Library to identify a source that provides specific information on how this stressful issue could impact your health, future goals, and motivation. Any information from a source should be cited and referenced in APA style.

When it comes to adhering to international guidelines that go above and beyond the minimum expectations set forth in international trade and commerce agreements, you often encounter diversity in the views of the importance and feasibility of participation. This assignment is meant to help you work through potential difficulties to create a strong business case for moving an organization forward in proactively addressing compliance to international guidelines for manufacturing, employee treatment, and general business principles. Review the scenario and respond to the questions that follow:
Imagine yourself as the CEO or a high-level executive for an international corporation. A board member brings the UNGC, UNPRI, or ISO27000 (apply to the use of technology) standards and principles to your attention and stresses the importance of adherence to all the principles contained within the guidelines. When you take this mandate to the executive leadership team, their first reaction is that it is too costly and presents more of an ideal rather than what is possible for your company in the real world.
Who in management should respond? What is the case for compliance? How do you create a business case for adhering to these guidelines?
How do you bring the board and management together? What should the strategy be?

Group Company Project – Part II
The purpose of the second part of the comprehensive project is to compute financial statement ratios. Based on the company you selected in Part I, complete the following:

  1. Based on formulas in your textbook, compute the following ratios for two years. You may use Excel to compute your ratios.
    1. Debt ratio
    2. Gross profit margin
    3. Free cash flow
    4. Times interest earned
    5. Accounts receivable turnover
    6. Inventory turnover
  2. Prepare a DuPont Analysis of ROE for two years, including computations of
    1. Return on Sales
    2. Asset Turnover
    3. Return on Assets
    4. Financial Leverage
    5. Return on Equity

 

  1. Briefly evaluate the ratio trends. Indicate on your worksheet whether each ratio is:
    1. stronger / weaker
    2. quicker /slower
    3. more / less liquid
    4. more / less risk
  2. Write a 3-6 page report evaluating trends in all of the above ratios. Discuss whether your company’s profitability, efficiency, liquidity, and solvency are improving or deteriorating. Suggest ways the company can improve the ratios that show problems. The report should be well written with cover page, introduction, the body of the paper (with appropriate subheadings), conclusion, and reference page. References must be appropriately cited.

 
 
 
 
 
 
Submit Group Project Part III (Read Instructions):
Important: Turnitin is active. Turnitin score greater than 25% will be investigated. In addition, you may lose points if your Turnitin score is greater than 25%. 
Group Company Project Part III
The purpose of the third part of the comprehensive project is to use resources available to obtain industry averages for commonly used ratios. Additionally, you will compare company ratio results to industry averages.

  1. Obtain the four-digit primary SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) Code and industry title for your company. Record the primary SIC code and industry title at the top of the Ratio Analysis Worksheet.
  2. Obtain industry averages for commonly used ratios in the current period. Industry average information is reported by industry title or SIC code.
  3. Look up the following industry-average ratios:
    1. Current ratio
    2. Debt ratio
    3. Gross profit margin
    4. Times interest earned
    5. Accounts receivable turnover
    6. Inventory turnover
    7. Return on Sales
    8. Asset Turnover
    9. Return on Assets
    10. Financial Leverage
    11. Return on Equity

Note that some industry averages may not apply to your company.
Alternative to Industry Averages:
If you are not able to find the industry average for part 3 of your project, please consider the following:
Unfortunately, some of the websites where you can find industry averages will require you to pay for them. Instead of using industry average, calculate the same ratios for one of the competitors to the company you used in your project. That will give you the comparative information you need for Part 3 of the project. I believe this will help.

  1. Write a 3-5 page report comparing the above ratios to industry averages. Discuss whether your company’s profitability, efficiency, liquidity, and solvency are better than, or worse than, its peers. The report should be well written with cover page, introduction, body of paper (with appropriate subheadings), conclusion, and reference page. References must be appropriately cited. Format: Double-spaced, one-inch margins, using a 12-point Times New Roman font.

The Case Requirements
From the time that Loxon became GLS’s auditor, there were several audit deficiencies. Please identify and describe the key audit deficiencies that led to GLS’s persistent financial statement fraud.
Requirement 2
Section 10A of the SEC Act of 1934 requires auditors to report to the SEC when, during an audit, an auditor detects: 1) illegal acts which have a material impact on the financial statements, and 2) appropriate action is not taken by management and the board of directors. Loxon had responsibilities to GLS, but also to other stakeholders, such as the SEC, the PRC, and investors. Do you believe that Loxon fulfilled their responsibilities to each of the four stakeholders mentioned?
Requirement 3
The PCAOB and SEC coordinate their efforts to ensure public firms’ compliance with their rules and regulations and to protect investors. Section 106 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that auditors of a U.S. issuer registered with the PCAOB consent to produce workpapers when requested by either the SEC or the PCAOB. Among the common investigations by the PCAOB is the failure to cooperate with an inspection or investigation. Likewise, Rule 102(e) of the SEC “Improper Professional Conduct” gives the SEC the power to sanction auditors if there is professional misconduct.

  1. a)  What are the steps of conducting an inspection by the PCAOB?
  2. b)  What are the implications of violating the PCAOB inspections rules (types of sanctions) and
    discovery of audit deficiencies on Loxon?

11
c) Under SEC – Rule 102(e), what are the implications to Loxon for improper professional conduct?
Requirement 4
In 2017, the PCAOB issued a new auditing standard to replace a portion of AS 3101 “The Auditor’s Report on an Audit of Financial Statements When the Auditor Expresses an Unqualified Opinion” and extended it with AS 3105 “Departures from Unqualified Opinions and Other Reporting Circumstances”. The purpose of the new standards is to expand auditor reporting and enhance its relevance to investors. AS 3101 is effective for audits of fiscal years ending on or after June 30, 2019 for large accelerated filers and on December 15, 2020 for all other firms. Please review the final ruling of the AS 3101 using this link “https://pcaobus.org/Rulemaking/Docket034/2017-001- auditors-report-final-rule.pdf” and answer the following questions:

  1. a)  Summarize the improvements in the expanded auditor report.
  2. b)  Define Critical Audit Matters (CAMs) and give examples from the present case.
  3. c)  Assume that Loxon had provided its last auditor report prior to resigning. Given the
    circumstances of this case, prepare Loxon’s last audit report in accordance with the new audit report standard AS 3105: Departures from Unqualified Opinions and Other Reporting Circumstances. You may refer to an example of auditor’s report that you can access through the PCAOB website by following this link:https://pcaobus.org/Standards/Auditing/Pages/AS3105.aspx
  4. d)  What are the implications of this new standard on the case study?

Requirement 5
Culture can be defined as: “the collective programming of the mind that distinguishes the members of one group or category of people from another” (Hofstede, 2001, p.9). According to Geert
page12image40737536 page12image40732736 page12image40744256
12
Hofstede’s cultural model, societal values are affected by ecological values and influenced by external forces (trade and investment), and hence affect the business environment.

  1. a)  Describe the likely effects of the 6-D model of Geert Hofstede’s cultural dimensions on the
    development of financial reporting systems within the United States versus China. The link to the 6-D model of national culture by Geert Hofstede is shown below: https://geerthofstede.com/culture-geert-hofstede-gert-jan-hofstede/6d-model-of-national- culture/
  2. b)  Why are the financial statements in China considered State-sensitive information, while in the U.S. they are public information?
  3. c)  Countries all over the world are categorized by their regulatory and political systems, emerging as either common law countries, code law countries or mixed systems. Please describe the regulatory and political systems of the United States versus China.

Requirement 6

  1. a)  What are the most significant implication(s) of China’s State Secrecy Laws regarding the audit procedures and audit liability?
  2. b)  Do you think that Loxon was justified in their initial reluctance to provide the workpapers to the SEC?
  3. c)  Was the SEC justified in their reaction? Please support your answers.
  4. d)  Roger Silvers is an accounting professor at the University of Utah and had served as a visiting economist with the SEC. Professor Silvers recently wrote a comment letter to the SEC that includes recommendations for the SEC to follow in an effort to reduce the risks that investors face when investing abroad. The Comment Letter can be accessed via this link: https://www.sec.gov/comments/emerging-markets/cll9-7328594-218510.pdf. Please
