Dear President of LJB Company, I will be assisting you with recommendations from the evaluation of your internal controls and planning to go public in the future. There will be many new internal control requirements if LJB Company decides to go public. To prevent and detect fraud, Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002(SOX). This act requires all U.S. corporations that are publicly traded to maintain an adequate system of internal control. Internal control is all methods adopted by an organization to safeguards its assets, enhance the reliability of its accounting records, increase efficiency of operations and ensure compliance with laws and regulations.
Francesca Dennis Outline, explain and evaluate the responsibilities of the different levels of government in the UK The UK is built up of many different levels of government that all play an essential part in running the country. In this essay I will outline, explain and evaluate the responsibilities of the different levels of government. The first level of government I will explore is central government, which is responsible for developing and enforcing national policies, drafting new laws, signing treaties with other nations and defending the nation. These responsibilities you could suggest are essential for the central government to adhere because if the local governments had control of this crucial role, there could be delays in the development and implementations of decisions as there is a lack of any experience of decision-making at this level and central government has decades of decision-making experience and could do a much better job for the regions without any delay. The central government runs at a national level and is based in the Palace of Westminster in London.
Declaration of Independence vs. U.S. Constitution The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were created to work together; therefore they share many similar tones but the U.S. Constitution has a much stronger tone overall. A charter is a document issued by a sovereign, legislature, or other authority, defining its privileges, and purposes. In this case, the Declaration of Independence would be a charter and the US Constitution would be bylaws which the rules adopted by and organization chiefly for the government of its members and the regulations of its affairs. For example, we would see this in business today and that these two sets of documents work together: a charter would show why a company goes into business, and the bylaws is how a company will organize and govern itself. Similarly, when the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were written, the Declaration of Independence served as the charter or the purpose document, and the U.S. Constitution served as the bylaw, or the organizational document.
The SEC oversight also encompasses rendering final approval of the PCAOB’s regulations, criteria, budgets, investigations, and authorizations. As far as its effectiveness as an oversight body, I think it was a smart decision by the SEC not only to delegate the job of auditing oversight to the PCAOB, but also to oversee its (the PCAOB’s) actions as easily; this system reminds me of the checks-and-balances system employed by the ramifications of the U.S. government (i.e. the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of government). In the SOX-SEC-PCAOB scenario, the PCAOB is monitored by the SEC; likewise, the SEC is monitored by SOX and the SEC has the agency to implement changes (i.e. monitor) SOX as well.
Lastly it states that how can we improve coordination and communication among all levels of government and the public in the fight against terrorism. A central argument that is clearly stated is that how are we bettering the systems that we have in place to help us better defend ourselves from terrorist attacks. I convinced that the study was worth doing because the author explains the difference in what we was doing in the past and how we took those security measures and develop a better system for the present but using those past experiences in a matter that we are able to develop a better system also. Using the past and present terrorist attacks can enable us to have better systems for our future and perhaps ensuring our people have a safer place to live for them and our children. From what the author has stated is that, Homeland Security is improving the National Warning Systems in order to improve coordination and communication and also improving on the Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS and the National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) but I believe that the National Terrorism Advisory System has a great
Richard Lambert Computer Forensics, Cybercriminals, Laws and Evidence November 16, 2012 Federal Security within Federal Buildings Federal government facilities and buildings’ security is of utmost importance as it not only affects the daily activities of the federal government, but it also affects the safety, health, and well-being of federal employees as well as the public at large. The government of the United States has a very important obligation of assuring the peace of mind as well as the physical safety of the numerous Federal employees and members of the public who go to the Federal government facilities and buildings. Unfortunately, over the years, federal government leased/owned property has been susceptible to terrorism acts
This can be accomplished by conducting business in planning, negotiating, and managing the subcontractors and vender in accordance with JWCS policies and procedures. Which reflects the Federal Acquisitions Regulations (FAR), and passing the Defense Contractor Audit Agency (DCAA) maintaining our certification in Federal contracts to support larger companies, and the Federal Governments agencies as Department of Defense (DoD), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and numerous other federal
Peel’s New Police was but one element of a body of changes reforming not just the Criminal Law, but the entire Criminal Justice System, including imprisonment and transportation, and also general criminal procedure. It is understandable that a change agent of Peel should be chosen to oversee the creation of a new structured Police Force. History had judged Sir Robert PEEL to be one of England’s great reformers, a claim evidenced by a cursory look at the changes he brought about during his term as Home Secretary in the early
It is important to note that in one fundamental respect, all law enforcement agencies in the United States are subject to control and direction by citizens through their elected representatives. This represents the very essence of policing in a democratic society. Mayors, governors, and presidents appoint law enforcement chief executives and have a large say in directing law enforcement agencies under their control through the appointment of agency chief executives and the setting of basic policy. City councils, county boards, state legislatures, and Congress exercise control through the budgetary process (Walker 2005). The civilian oversight of law enforcement movement in the United States is expanding and evolving.
The past trends have provided the criminal justice system a perspective to help make changes necessary to protect society in the present. The current trends in criminal justice have help to make the necessary changes that currently concern the community. Because the society in the United States is constantly changing with the advent of new technologies, the future trends in criminal justice will help to provide changes necessary to protect society in the future. These trends have provided a well rounded criminal justice system in the United States. However, because society is ever evolving, the criminal justice system will also continue to evolve better to protect society.
