There are three steps to creating a strong risk register:


Risk Identification


Risk Analysis


Risk Response Plans


Risk Identification — Strong process of identifying risk is central to good risk management of projects. There are other methods that may be used to build a danger list, but these are the most significant ones: brainstorming; topic matter experts; checklists; lessons learned; study of documents; SWOT examination; Delphi technique; examination of hypotheses and diagrams of impact. Clearly it is not feasible to mention all the threats to a project, nor is it a realistic objective. The real world encompasses simply too many variables. Yet there is a danger registry for delivering a fast and definitive report to the project manager when things go wrong.

Risk Analysis — There are two forms of risk analysis: Predictive Analysis that includes assigning a likelihood and effect score to each risk in the registry. And quantitative analysis which means that if a likelihood and effect score is assigned to each risk case, a prioritization is evaluated and compared to the other risks. Quantitative analysis includes utilizing empirical methods to assess the project's impact on the risk.

Danger Response Plans — Design of response plans is the third and final phase towards creating a risk list. There are four directions inside the Risk Register to react to each danger event: Stop. Eliminate the hazard or defend the project against its impact. Avoid. Transfer. Mitigation and acceptance.

1. Statistics at a certain college has been historically taught at two times: at 8 am and at 4 pm.

A random sample of 150 students that took the morning class results in a mean score of 81.2 points, with a standard deviation of 18 points, and a random sample of 150 students that took the afternoon class results in a mean score of 76.4 points and a standard deviation of 21 points. For this problem, assume that the sample sizes are large enough so that the sample standard deviations (S) are good approximations for the unknown population standard deviations (σ).

a. Compute a 95% confidence interval for the mean score for all students taking statistics at 8 am.

b. Compute a 95% confidence interval for the mean score for all students taking statistics at 4 pm.

c. Based on the confidence intervals, is there strong evidence to support the claim that the morning classes do better in statistics? Explain.

2. A poorly written research paper states a confidence interval for the mean reaction time to an experiment as 83.6 ± 11.515 seconds, but forgot to mention what the confidence level was. However, the paper did say that the population standard deviation is σ = 35, and the sample size was n = 25.

a. What was the confidence level used for the confidence interval stated in the paper? b. Using the same sample results, how could you lower the margin of error to below 10 seconds?

Ozzie Foods Ltd produces several varieties of muesli and chocolate bars. An action has been brought against the company by a customer who broke a tooth while eating a muesli bar sold by Ozzie Foods Ltd. The chief accountant of Ozzie Foods Ltd, Col Gates, prepared a draft of the financial statements, including a note disclosure about the lawsuit. However, the chief executive officer, Wil MacLean, argued that the lawsuit should not be reported as a contingent liability because Ozzie Foods Ltd might win the case, and any mention of this incident in the financial statements might encourage more lawsuits and potentially increase the company’s liability.

Accounting Question:

The Sky Blue Corporation has the following adjusted trial balance at December 31.

Image and details here:http://prntscr.com/isps3z

What you are seeing from the picture is the full closing journal entry for revenues, expenses, and dividends. My question is regarding the revenues/expenses part because that is where i have incorrect errors on. The dividends portion of the closing journal entry is fine, so no help is needed there.

The specific requirements for the revenues/expenses are shown below:

http://prntscr.com/ispsa4

I am not sure if this is a technical error because the numbers should be correct and the debits and credits equal each other.

UPDATE: PLEASE DISREGARD THIS QUESTION. I HAVE SOLVED MY PROBLEM.

Turns out, i included an additional "retained earninngs account" that was not needed. I went off the example from my class lecture, but i think the teacher included 2 "retained earnings" accounts to sort the revenue portion and the expenses portion, but the question was asking me to record the closing entry for rev. AND expenses, so i combine both. The single retained earnings is the difference between the revenues (excluding unearned) and expenses in the general journal

Now that i think about it...the teacher did mention that the book would try to include 2 because they combine rev/exp. into a single closing journal entry but there is actually 3 and i guess the activity assignment we did in class was for that purpose

The business I am opening is Spirulina. Spirulina is a micro-algae and as such has been growing naturally in our environment for millions of years, it is a tough plant able to withstand harsh growing conditions, in fact, the micro-algae cell never really dies it goes dormant when weather conditions are not favorable, and as soon as these change and the environment is once again suitable for growth, spirulina begins growing and reproducing again. Naturally growing spirulina can be found in high alkaline lakes and in general, it is said that where flamingos are, spirulina is sure to be found. It is a type of cyanobacteria, which is a family of single-celled microbes that are often referred to as blue-green algae. Just like plants, cyanobacteria can produce energy from sunlight via a process called photosynthesis (Ebène, 2011-2016). The main reason that I am interested in such a product is that the product benefits people’s health which I am going to mention and cover in the rest of my report.

Question

Step 1 - Develop a list of assets and capabilities you or your business partners possess at the start-up of the company.

Step 2 - Break that list into two groups: Standard and Unique (standard would be what is expected for this type of product or service, unique would be the thing that sets it apart from the competition.)

Step 3 - Evaluate the Unique aspects and state how solid they are.

Susan is a paralegal in a one attorney office. She works for Mr. Robert Sharky. One Friday afternoon, attorney Sharky left early to take a flight to Las Vegas. He planned to be back on Monday. Bob Jones, one of the firm’s divorce clients, runs into the office and tells Susan he just shot his ex-wife when she came at him with a knife after an argument. He throws the smoking gun on the desk and asks Susan to hide it for him. Susan takes the gun and puts it into her desk drawer and locks the drawer. She plans to discuss the issue with her attorney when he gets back from his vacation on Monday. She tells Bob that the firm can help him avoid jail time since the wife instigated it and Bob shot her in self-defense. Bob leaves.

That night Susan joins her friends for happy hour and tells them about what happened but she does not mention Bob’s name. After Susan tells the story, a news flash comes on the television at the bar and the story says the suspect in the wife shooting is Bob.

Use the American Bar Association Model Rules of Professional Conduct or the state of GA ethics rules and spot all the issues in this scenario. What did Susan do wrong and what rules did she violate? Should she have informed the police?
