>Accounting homework help

 Select one of these short stories and respond as requested:
1) While performing an audit of TCC Corporation, the audit team noticed something that didn’t look right. The company’s receivables aging report showed that bank loan eligible receivables were approximately $91 million. The audit team calculated the bank loan eligible receivables to be approximately $50 million. The client didn’t identify specific accounts in writing off bad debts, there was extremely slow credit memo processing, and items that management had not focused on remained uncollectible and ineligible for financing. In addition, over the last two years, the company’s credit department has had unusually high turnover—four different people had held the credit manager position under an intimidating CFO. The current credit manager was a friend of the CFO and had worked with him at a previous company. After looking at some invoices and asking about customer information to confirm, the credit manager admitted to creating false documents and arranging fictitious sales with clients—all with the knowledge of the CFO.
What are some of the red flags that point to the possibility of fraud? What would you say was the main problem in this case that allowed the fraud to occur?
2) Joseph Gonzales recently bought a new business that included a small 20-room motel and coffee shop. He hired a young couple to run the business and plans to pay them a monthly salary. The couple will live for free in a small apartment behind the motel office and will be in charge of the daily operations of the motel and coffee shop. They will also be responsible for hiring and supervising the four or five part-time employees who will help with cleaning the rooms, cooking, and waiting on customers in the restaurant. The couple will also maintain records of rooms rented, meals served, and payments received (which can be in the form of cash, checks, or credit cards). They will make weekly deposits of the business’s proceeds at the local bank. Joseph lives about six hours away and will only be able to visit periodically.
What are your two biggest concerns about possible fraud on the part of the couple? For each concern, identify a possible control that could reduce the risk of fraud.
3) You are the owner of a privately owned, moderate-sized company. The business was founded over 20 years ago and has experienced impressive growth and profitability. The only frustrating thing, however, is that you know the company’s profits would be significantly higher if you could rid it of its problems with fraud. Your accountants estimate that the company has lost approximately 7 percent of its earnings to fraud over the past five years. The company has adequate controls in place, and you try to ensure that people don’t override them. Since you are the owner, however, you often bypass some controls. You know that you aren’t out to rob the company, so you believe that the controls aren’t applicable to you. You try to keep a close eye on most aspects of the business, but with about 500 employees, it’s difficult to know about everything that is going on. Employees have been caught in fraudulent activities in the past, but you have never bothered prosecuting them. You wish to avoid the negative publicity that would result, and you see no valid reason to publicly humiliate former employees—their shame won’t bring back the money they’ve stolen.
What aspects of the company can you change in order to reduce the amount of fraud that is occurring? Use the five factors described in the chapter relating to creating a culture of honesty, openness, and assistance to explain your answer.

Additional acts for which discipline may be taken against an ARNP relating to practicing with controlled substances that are added to the Nurse Practice Act (Section 10) include:

 Presigning blank prescription forms.

 Prescribing a Schedule II for office use.

 Prescribing, dispensing, or administering an amphetamine or sympathomimetic amine drug, except for specified conditions.

 Prescribing, dispensing, or administering certain hormones for muscle-building or athletic performance.

Evolution of Professional Nursing and Culturally Diverse

Assignment 2: Evolution of Professional Nursing and Culturally Diverse Workforce Analysis
of RA1:
In this module, we looked at the evolution of the nursing profession and how it relates to the continued issue of achieving a culturally diverse workforce. Despite our progress in moving toward a culturally diverse nursing workforce, efforts are needed to achieve nursing workforce diversity to meet patient care needs. The report produced by the Sullivan Commission on Diversity in the Healthcare Workforce (2004) provided a framework from which one can understand nursing workforce diversity issues. In particular, it provided a way to systematically review issues surrounding the historical context of nursing workforce diversity, why increasing workforce diversity is important, how we might achieve a more diverse workforce and how it may be paid for, and who is accountable for achieving the diversity goal.
Tasks:
Use the derived Sullivan Commission Report framework to describe and analyze nursing workforce diversity in a workplace of your choice. The framework is given in the bulleted list below.
Support your analysis with references. You must reference at least three nursing journal articles that are not from your reading assignment. Additionally, you may cite documents from the Module 1 reading assignments.
Protect workplace and personal identifiers in the completion of your assignment

Management homework help

Discussion Question
Please answer each of the following questions in detail and provide in-text citations in support
of your argument. Include examples whenever applicable. Make sure to provide examples for
each of the questions below.
a. Discuss how time value of money in the context of compounding interest.
b. Explain what an annuity is and what are the two most common types of annuity. Explain
how the present value and future value of an annuity is determined.
c. Extend the notion of compounding mentioned in your answer to part “a” above to
general situations where compounding is induced by growth, inflation, or deflation.
Activity 2
Part A:
By the end of this year you would be 35 years old and you want to plan for your retirement.
You wish to retire at the age of 65 and you expect to live 20 years after retirement. Upon
retirement you wish to have an annual sum of $50,000 to supplement your social security
benefits. Therefore, you opened now your retirement account with 7% annual interest rate. At
retirement you liquidate your account and use the funds to buy an investment grade bond
which makes $50,000 annual coupon payments based on a 6 % coupon rate, throughout your
retirement years.
1. How much will the face value of the bond that you will be investing?
2. Please calculate the monthly payment in your retirement account in order to be able to
achieve the plan mentioned above?
3. How much will your inheritors receive?
Now let’s extend the problem so that you protect yourself against inflation.
Part B:
Suppose you think if you were to retire right now you would have needed $50,000 each year to
supplement your social security and maintain your desired lifestyle. But because there is on
average 3% annual inflation, when you retire in 30 years from now you need more than
$50,000 per year to maintain the lifestyle you like.
4. How much will be equivalent to $50,000 at the retirement time when adjusted for
inflation?
5. How much will be the face value of the bond that yields the equivalent of $50,000, found
in #4 of Part B in coupon payment?
6. How much annual payment in the retirement account is needed to accumulate the
amount needed to purchase the bond when retiring?
7. What is the purchase power of the amount that will be received by your inheritors,
measured in the current value of $ at the time of opening the retirement account?
(Hint: First calculate what future amount in 30 years, which is equivalent to $50,000 of now and
then solve the rest of the problem).

MEASURES OF QUALITY

The Joint Commission and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) developed quality and safety indicators for various health care systems. These indicators seek to establish accountability for health care organizations through a reporting system, which is available to the public. For this Discussion, explore various accrediting organizations and specific measures that pertain to quality. In your research on accrediting organizations, consider how these quality measures affect quality outcomes, support ethical principles, and influence the delivery of clinical services.
 

To prepare:

  • Select one specific quality indicator      from the Week 2 Discussion and compare it with those outlined in this      week’s Learning Resources (In week 2 discussion, I spoke about nosocomial      infections and pain management as quality indicators).
  • Review the accrediting body standards      that pertain to your organization focusing on those standards that require      your organization to define its quality management program.
  • Consider regulatory requirements at      the state or national level that affect quality outcomes in your      organization.
  • Ask yourself: How do the Centers for      Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) restricted reimbursements affect      quality management or improvement efforts at my organization? How do these      standards and regulations influence or support ethical principles and      influence patient care and nursing practice?

By tomorrow Wednesday 12/13/17, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with at least 3 references from the list below that addresses the level one & two headings as numbered and lettered below:

post a cohesive scholarly response that addresses the following:

1) Choose any measurement and explain the extent to which your chosen measure is affected by CMS driven incentives and disincentives. 

2) From a systems perspective, discuss how this measure affects:

a. Quality outcomes 

b. Supports ethical principles 

c. Influences patient care and nursing practice.
