Term 5 Unit 1 Discussions
Unit 1 DB: Problem 1-39 (ACC440 Auditing)
Comment on Problem 1-39.
In a discussion between Peters and Ferrel, two auditing students, Peters made the following statement: ?A CPA is a professional person who is licensed by the state for the purpose of providing an independent expert opinion on the fairness of financial statements. To maintain an attitude of mental independence and objectivity in all phases of audit work, it is advisable that the CPA not fraternize with client personnel. The CPA should be courteous but reserved and dignified at all times. Indulging in social contacts with clients outside business hours will make it more difficult to be firm and objective if the CPA finds evidence of fraud or of unsound accounting practices.? Ferrel replied as follows: ?You are 50 years behind the times, Peters. An auditor and a client are both human beings. The auditor needs the cooperation of the client to do a good job; you?re much more likely to get cooperation if you?re relaxed and friendly rather than being cold and impersonal. Having a few beers or going to a football game with a client won?t keep the CPA from being independent. It will make the working relationship a lot more comfortable, and will probably cause the client to recommend the CPA to other businesspeople who need auditing services. In other words, the approach you?re recommending should be called ?How to Avoid Friends and Alienate Clients.? I will admit, though, that with so many women entering public accounting and other women holding executive positions in business, a few complications may arise when auditor?client relations get pretty relaxed.?
Evaluate the opposing views expressed by Peters and Ferrel.ÿ

The fours S

Read the following scenario that describes the game of Red Rover (an  activity in the hall of shame!). Reflect on how this game violates the  Four S?s as outlined in Chapter 8: safe, success, satisfying, and skill  appropriate.Two teams face each other across half of a basketball court and take  turns calling players over from the opposite side.  After Team A decides  who it wants to challenge, the members join hands to form a long chain  and call for Team B to ?send Frank over.?  Frank then runs as fast as  possible to either break through or dive under the chains formed by Team  A. If Frank fails to break through, he becomes part of Team A. If he  succeeds, he returns to his team together with the two players of Team A  who were at the point he broke through. Team B now calls over a player  from Team A.You can choose to discuss Red Rover or any of the other games that  violate at least one of the four S?s.  Some examples are: dodge ball,  ?Messy Back Yard?, relay races, tug of war, ?Simon Says?, musical  chairs, tag, etc. Explain the basics of the game/activity that you chose and how it is  usually played.  Give an analysis of how it specifically violates at  least one of the Four S?s.  Finally, include a detailed explanation on  how you would modify and adapt this activity so that it meets all of the  Four S?s: safe, success, satisfying and skill appropriate. It might be  that the activity would need to be completely revised and a new activity  would need to take its place in order to not violate the Four S?s.  In  that case, explain which activity you would use to replace this one.

We continually talk about how risk is an everyday part of our lives but fail to explain how we mitigate that risk. A minute example would be driving a car. Obviously going 80mph in a steal box is dangerous. In order to mitigate and minimize the risk we experience, we simply put on our seatbelts. This can also be applied on a larger scale to the critical infrastructure of the United States.You asked us to not forget the single greatest threat to our infrastructure: neglect. Yet, our electric grid has been neglected for decades. The American Society of Civil Engineers just gave our entire energy infrastructure a grade of D+ since much of it is 40 years or older and needs to be replaced (Rhodes, 2017). Consisting most of powerplants, transmission lines and transformers, the United States must mitigate our decaying and neglected infrastructure in favor of cleaner energy for the future.In recent political news, in order to mitigate the effect of green house gases and curb global warming, newly elected Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) unveiled the Green New Deal which calls for removal of fossil fuel usage, upgrading or replacing ?every building? in the country and overhauling transportation to limit the use of air travel. She also suggests removing ?farting cows.? While bovine flatulence shockingly contributes to a significant portion of greenhouse gases and global warming, it remains unlikely that America?s 100 million cows will be exterminated any time soon (Breuninger, 2019). Regardless of the farting cows, mitigation remains a key component to AOC?s strategy within the Green New Deal and seeks to limit global warming.Breuninger, K. (2019, February 7). Does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez really want to get rid of ?farting cows?? Not yet, at least. CNBC. Retrieved from: Rhodes, J.D. (2017, March 16). The old, dirty, creaky US electric grid would cost $5 trillion to replace. Where should infrastructure spending go? The Conversation. Retrieved from:
