Student’s Note: 

During 2019 spring, my friend told me about USC summer camp, and I searched for it. It is an opportunity to study at USC and USC’s professor will teach us. USC is one of the best engineering schools, and it is close to my house. It will be a great chance for me to learn in USC. I soon register for this summer camp and got accepted. 

I am the leader of group 6

In week one, I started with building the robot, but in day 3, our teammate told me they didn’t have any express in computer science where I learned coding from school and Science Fair I did in 11th grade. I start to do the coding part and our robot works pretty well.

In week two, we build a bridge, I worked on design the bridge and build the bridge. The bridge was really successful and it didn’t crush.

In week 3, I figured out “and” and “or” gate and build the logic circuit, it was not working at first because there was some problem with wiring, but some help, it worked perfectly.

In week 4, I build the airplane and the rocket, the airplane successfully flied and the rocket lunched.

Also, for the research paper, I researched on what we need for Water Treatment assigned people what they need t research on and I put their work together. 

Question 2(1.5 pages): Leadership can be demonstrated in many ways. Please share how you have demonstrated leadership in either your school, job, community, and/or within your family responsibilities.

• According to your textbook, to minimize the risk of material misstatement, auditors seek third- party verification of account balances by mailing customers their statements. Discuss the advantages of positive and negative confirmations, and ascertain whether or not email and oral confirmations are acceptable to increase customer response rates. Support your position.
• Discuss the key differences between substantive tests of transactions and substantive tests of balances. Next, identify at least two (2) situations when an auditor should test account balances. Support your rationale with related examples of such circumstances.

• Create a scenario that demonstrates specific ways in which management could manipulate transactions impacting inventory values that the auditing team might not detect. Recommend key strategies that the auditor could implement in anticipation of such manipulation. Justify your response.
• Discuss the difference between a subsequent event and a subsequent discovery of facts. Next, determine the auditor’s responsibility for each event after the audit report is completed. Support your position.

Deliverable 3 – Plan for Managing Operational Failures

Competency

Evaluate the components of operational risk and the application of corresponding risk management plans.

Instructions

LTD Acceptance is a private property and auto insurance carrier that specializes in sports cars and motorcycles. This organization is owned by LTD Capital, a large equity group with over 15 holdings. LTD Acceptance is the parent company’s single largest holding as it drives 70% of total revenue. Due to the inherent risk involved in that segment of the market, many of LTD Acceptance’s competitors do not offer policies for sports cars or motorcycles. This market segment is underserved which is why the organization has 20,000 active policies for a sports car or a motorcycle.

LTD is headquartered in Houston, TX. LTD does not sell insurance directly to the public. Instead, it uses third-party agents to sell its policies. LTD handles all customer service needs including claims intake, policy services, and general questions. The company operates in four states: California, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. Currently, LTD does not have an active system in place to ensure that its agents are in fact using LTD guidelines to screen potential policyholders. However, no evidence of negligence has emerged so far as the organization has yet to have a year in which it was not profitable. LTD has also had the good fortune of not suffering losses because of natural disasters or catastrophic events.

Organizations in every sector experience breakdowns or failures that compromise the efficiency and efficacy of their operations. This concept is defined as an operational failure. Operational failures have a direct and adverse impact on profitability. As such, the shareholders want assurance that the risk management team is actively working on mitigating the occurrence of these failures. As the newly hired senior risk analyst, you are responsible for outlining a plan to do just that.
For this deliverable, provide a report to your supervisor which provides a framework for managing operational risk exposures. Your report should include the following:

• Explain why the operational losses cannot be broadly managed. Why do they have to be categorized?
• For each operational risk exposure listed below, provide at least two examples of potential losses from the exposure and reasons why you need to manage it.
  • Internal fraud
  • External fraud
  • Employment practices and workplace safety
  • Clients, products, and business practices
  • Damage to physical assets
  • Business disruption and system failures

Your conclusion should align the effective management of operational risk exposures with organizational effectiveness.
The format for your report should be in the business, professional style.

Payroll master file/database is a file containing all wages, insurance, loan info, taxes paid per employee. This is also to be updated as needed to keep track of new hires, terminations and tax rate changes.  

Describe the types of errors that may occur in the master file and how they get there. How would you design payroll procedures to help prevent them?
