Review Memo to the Executive Vice-President This message should be short but complete coverage of the subject matter. The information remaining should be worded concisely. The executive vice-president would like to know the differences between the two terms LIFO and FIFO so that the management can decide which inventory valuation method the company should use. Therefore, focusing on how it would affect on the P&L statements is necessary. Start the memo by mentioning to the main point that he is looking for.

If it is not, revise your sentence. Mae relied on the annotations charts as a guide to planning her essay. It seemed logical to her to start her essay where she started the chart: by identifying the issue and the positions on the issue presented by each essay. In her first paragraph, she provides some context for the issue, noting that the disclosure in 2004 of detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib first led many Americans to become concerned about torture and that the debate over “enhanced interrogation techniques” such as waterboarding and sleep deprivation continues today. Like Mae, you may turn up relevant details in your background research about the issue- fact, history, current news- that you can use to present it to readers.
According to the Insurance Information Institute, insurers also consider local trends such as number of accidents and car thefts in areas where customers live. State Sen. Tim carpenter stated, “I don’t think good drivers should have to pay extra because other parts of the zip code, which could be miles away, may have higher crime rates or more irresponsible drivers. My bill will make sure that auto insurance premiums will be based upon the driver’s record, the years experience a driver has behind the wheel, and the miles driven, not by there zip codes.” With this new law premiums must be low enough that people can afford them and don’t end up and break the law. (Gores.1&2) Drivers in Milwaukee pay on average $1,044 in 2010, up from $979 in 2001. To people in Milwaukee, this new law is unfair.
As health insurance would help US citizens and immigrant’s health, a driver’s license would increase safety on the street. As said in (http://idebate.org/debatabase/debates/society/house-would-give-illegal-immigrants-drivers-licenses) “Offering drivers licenses to illegal immigrants makes the streets safer by giving drivers training to people who would otherwise be driving on the streets without adequate education”. Many immigrants will drive with or without a license in order to get to their job, something that makes driving in the freeway dangerous for many citizens; something that can be stopped with an official driver’s
The offenses are harmful to not only businesses in the United States of America but to the world of business as a whole and are unacceptable. If the law had been in place, many shareholders would have been safeguarded but numerous investors lost their lifetime savings by company insiders. The corporate world is a much more secure place with regards to investing with all of the changes and modifications which are now enforced. I still think there are other actions which can be taken to protect shareholders even though the modifications have significantly improved the procedure. Businesses must develop an ethical balance so as not to take advantage of unknowing shareholders who have invested their lifetime
SOX Reforms Corporate America The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) enacted July 30, 2002 introduced significant changes to financial practice and corporate management regulation. Passed in the wake of numerous scandals SOX is a complex piece of legislation that requires companies to make major changes to bring their organizations into compliance (Bumgardner 2). Many believe this act has not proven worthy and will not change effect in the business world, but I think this act will help businesses and outside investing. The act holds top executives personally responsible for the accuracy and timelines of their company’s financial data — under threat of criminal prosecution. Sox address weaknesses with internal issues, requiring yearly
The Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional because it did not give the presidential administrations the power to remove board members (Younglai et al., 2010). Another major con of SOX is the cost to comply with the audit requirement. Many lawmakers fear that these costs are pushing firms to move their operation oversees (Sarbanes-Oxley Act. (n.d.). Overall, SOX has caused companies to be more forthcoming with their financial data at the same time instilling more confidence from the public.
A good example of some of the laws placed today on businesses to protect the consumers from price inflation and customer allocation. Car dealerships in the past who were in the surrounding area of each other would either do one of two things prior to current laws being enforced and placed in the antitrust laws. The first thing that they would do is continuously undercut each other’s pricing and financing until the profit margin was unsustainable for one of the companies causing them to either file bankruptcy, sell the business, or make a phone call to the competitor and attempt to make a plea agreement with the other company to keep from going out of business. That conversation would include offering not to undercut its competitors pricing any further allowing both companies to remain in business and still keep a good profit margin. When those agreements are initiated it is not necessarily a bad law to break in my eyes because it at the end of the day keeps people employed and is helping the economy.
I think I would have a hard time convincing a judge, or anyone else, that I didn't steal the car. That same reasoning applies to illegal sharing or copying. The challenges presented by the era have forced artists to be innovative in coming up with ways to make the actual CD more valuable. Daniel Ball mentioned that one of the things the Ball Brothers has done is improving their CD inserts: “One thing that we are trying to do to combat that is offer a higher quality cover with more information on the inside. If a
