discuss how such a difference might have an impact on financial statement analysis, or if you believe that it would. 

In this week’s discussion, we will be looking at some of the differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which is the set of accounting rules followed by just about every industrialized nation outside the U.S.  While there are many similarities between the two systems, there are also some significant differences.  After learning a little bit about some of the similarities and differences, please reflect somewhat on how these differences might impact financial statement analysis, or if you think they actually would.

Conduct research to find out one or more differences that exist between balance sheets that are prepared using U.S. GAAP and those prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).  Explain the difference and if there seems to have been a move in recent years toward convergence of the two systems.  Finally, discuss how such a difference might have an impact on financial statement analysis, or if you believe that it would.  Make sure to provide APA format citations and references for your sources.

Were there other strategies that might have been employed to come to the resolution?

PROMPT

A few years ago, I began helping a start-up company get off the ground; the company was essentially a youth esports league that trained them in the games and business side of the sport. When I began with Game Crossing, I implemented a database, graphics, and the business’s administrative process. The founder wanted to include three of us: his neighbor, my fiancé, and myself in his business to discuss membership shares in the limited liability company. During the shares meeting, I learned he would combine my percent with my fiancé’s to equal the individual amounts allocated to himself and his neighbor. This action caused an argument; I was the only female and felt like the work I was putting in was not being seen or appreciated and that I was not seen as my own person. We did not conclude the meeting that night but instead paused and set a date later in the week to regroup our thoughts and examine the situation. After cooling down, I studied the problem and asked myself a series of questions, including looking at the conflict through the owner’s eyes. This was his company; he was bringing extra people in, and letting go of control of his “baby” was not easy. Knowing what I know now about businesses, even writing our names into ownership is a big deal because one member leaving a non-public company can dissolve it. During the examination process, my fiancé and I reached out to the owner to express our concerns and gauge his reasoning for combining our percentage. After going back and forth, we discussed our problems; he felt I did not care at the same level due to my availability, and I could not drive to every tournament due to a retail schedule. I was worried that the work I had done was unused or unacknowledged. But ultimately, we came up with a way to split the membership fairly, considering the owner’s past investments in the company. Our agreement was that the owner would retain his share, and the other three of us would get a smaller percentage with the option to buy in up to twenty-five percent. I was much happier with this deal and believe overall it was fair to the owner as well; he retained the investment he put in and kept all members on an equal footing.

However, this situation brought up uneasiness about what future disagreements could do. I had to sit back, answer crucial questions, and evaluate what was best for myself and my family moving forward. The most important question is why am I helping at Game Crossing; what was my goal and what was I trying to gain? And my answer was that it was a way to spend time with my son and fiancé; It was a family project and was not really something I was passionate about as a career. During my internal questioning and questioning with my partner, I discovered that our friendship with the founder was more beneficial and the esports industry was not for me. After these realizations, I talked to Victor and currently help Game Crossing in a consultant capacity, and even helped them rebrand.

Scholarly Activity

Instructions

Learning your leadership risk-taking capacity is important as leaders begin to set the goals for the organization and the results that are expected. The leader’s leadership style is one way to determine the amount of risk that the leader may be willing to take.

Research a company or leader who has gone through a major change or direction change. Include the following components in your analysis of the company/leader:

· Complete a risk analysis of the company/leader, and determine how risky the change was.

· Describe how the leader’s style impacted the amount of risk the organization was willing to take on to make the change.

· Finally, explain how risk tolerance levels are related to achieving the organization’s goals and producing results.

Your completed assignment must be at least three pages in length and include at least two outside sources, one of which must come from the CSU Online Library. None of your sources can be a blog of any type. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment. APA formatting, however, is not necessary.

Compose a strategy that would address the health violations noted and ways to mitigate them in the future.

Part 1

Review the CDC Outbreak updates page and look at some of the recent cruise ship outbreaks (Links to an external site.) between 2015 and 2020. Choose one that is interesting to you based on the cruise line or causative agent.  

In the text of your initial post,

• Indicate the virus that caused the outbreak (“unknown” is not an option) and common symptoms and treatments for the virus.
• Distinguish the cruise line and cruise ship it occurred on.
• Express the raw number and percentage of passengers and crew impacted by the outbreak.

Part 2 of your initial post

• Review the CDC’s Advanced Cruise Ship Inspection Search site for the specific ship and year noted in Part I.
• Highlight two health violations that were identified that could have led to the outbreak.
• Compose a strategy that would address the health violations noted and ways to mitigate them in the future. The CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program site will be of assistance here if unfamiliar.

how can we use nursing theories and evidence to help implement individualized patient care?

how can we use nursing theories and evidence to help implement individualized patient care?

1 paragraph, the information must be logical, meaningful, and understandable sequence, and is clearly relevant to the discussion topic. Grammar, spelling, and/or punctuation are accurate.

Imagine a statesman at their  best dealing with this issue. What does that look like? Who does that  look like? What would you do? 

Paper should be 4-5 double-spaced pages of content in length (this does not include title page or reference pages).

o Paper should be in current APA format.

o Headings should be included and must conform to the content categories listed (i.e., Statesmanship Model, Interpersonal Skills, Emotional Intelligence, etc.).

· 3-5 additional scholarly sources must be used. They need to be scholarly and provide relevant public administration theory and practices. 

First:

When we think of public administration,  we are concerning ourselves with the implementation or oversight of  government policies within an organization. As such, your first step is  to find an organization of your choosing that has a real-life issue or a  situation they are currently dealing with. In other words, the public  administrators in this organization were met with resistance, what was  it? Or the policy implemented may been violated. What happened? How was  it violated?

Second:

Now we are going to  apply the statesmanship model discussed last week to this situation. The  overarching idea of statesmanship is the call for moral character. In  the context of this assignment, how can that model be applied to the  situation at hand? How can someone, with decision making power, change  what happened?  What can they do to fix it? You want this person to  exhibit the character traits we discussed last week. What interpersonal  skills should be used to effectively administer statesmanship?

In  other words, there is a problem that need to be fixed. How can that be  fixed using what we discussed last week? Imagine a statesman at their  best dealing with this issue. What does that look like? Who does that  look like? What would you do? 

Organization & Issue

You  want to find a real organization with a real issue to work with. If you  experienced issues in your organization, you may use that, just be sure  to address all components in this study. You may use something you  heard about on TV. Just be sure to research the organization and make  sure it is indeed an issue, that is well documented.

Format

You  want to format this like a research paper in that you will have a title  page, which can name the organization or the issue at hand. You want to  number your pages. You want to double space and use headers to help  organize your paper. You also want to include a reference page (an  Abstract is not necessarily). Review the Rubric to ensure you cover all  bases. 

Sources:

You want to apply all the  reading material. Include the book, presentations, and articles used  thus far. You also want to include 3 additional sources peer reviewed  sources that add value to what you are discussing.

Please note,  each Case Study will have a different direction, but the concept may be  the same. I will provide as much feedback as necessary to help you  moving forward.

This is a good opportunity to explore leadership  in an organization. Have fun with it, do not over think it. You all did a  fantastic job on your discussions, so you can do well on this too.

Please let me know if I can provide additional assistance.
