Please keep in mind that the discussion on fraud will evoke some emotions that is human. These are hypothetical situations.
On page 62 of the textbook, the Author Anderson and Enron case is discussed. This event demonstrates the breakdown of ethics and professional judgement in the 1990's / 2000 which resulted in accounting fraud. This occurred when accounting professionals failed to identify, report and correct unethical behavior because in doing so would harm the observer. Enron paid Anderson a total go $52 million making them the second largest client in there Houston Texas office.
The discovery of inaccurate financial statements and the failure to correct it and disclosure it in the 1997 earnings restatements were the primary reasons for fraud that has made Enron a household name today. This example demonstrates fraud from the top down where the professionals lost sight of there obligations during the audit.
The movie the Mule by Clint Eastwood proposed a similar dilemma in that ethics and professional judgement were ignored by all the individuals and fraud crimes were allowed to go uncorrected because there was no checks or voluntary disclosure which poses the question.
Question:
As a CPA or an accounting professional, how would you handle the issue of inaccurate earnings on financials statements if the lead auditor of your firm chose to allow it to go uncorrected.
How would you handle a $10 dollar variance versus a $10 million dollar variance?

You are asking to develop a “Triangle Guessing” game in Python for the assignment. The program accepts the lengths of three (3) sides of a triangle as input from a player. The program output should indicate whether the triangle is a right triangle, an acute triangle, or an obtuse triangle.
1.Tips to help you for this assignment: Make sure each side of the triangle is a positive integer. Use try/except for none positive integer input.
2. Validating the triangle. That is the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. Use try/except for invalid sides input.
3. For any wrong input, tell the player what is wrong and asking to re-enter.
4. Allow a player to play multiple times, for example, using a while loop. Remind the player what input to stop the game.
5. Develop your game/program a user friendly one. Document your program by adding comments: Introduce/describe the program including the author, date, goal/purpose of the program Document every variable used at the program even the name is meaningful Explain/comment operation/activity/logic of your code. For example, “Checking whether the inputs are positive integers” and “Checking the validity the 3 lengths to see if they are able to form a triangle”
6. Testing your program for all possible input and every of the 3 possible triangles

(a) Name 4 major components of a Gamma camera. Briefly explain
the function of each component.
Also, describe the advantages and disadvantages of using “thin”
scintillating crystal.
(b) In an experiment with 51.80 MBq 99mTc, 5.88×105 counts are measured in 2 minutes. According to the manufacturer the sensitivity is 202 cnts/(min⋅μCi) (American manufacturers still use Ci instead of Bq, 1μCi = 37 kBq). What is the difference between the sensitivity of the measurement and the factory specification?
(c) in a NM scan, we use a specific contrast agent with half-life
of 2h and emitted gamma radiation with wavelength of the 8.79x0-12
m. We image the patient immediately after the injection and the
scan takes 20 minutes. Injecting 1 mCi, the acquired NM images have
signal-to-noise ratio of 40. Calculate the SNR if we inject the
patient with 3 mCi and scan him for 60 minutes.
