Case Study In December 2016, Arshad Ali joined Imperial Computers Ltd. (ICL) as a Senior Programmer, with a handsome pay. Prior to this job, he worked successfully as an assistant programmer in Gem Computers (Gem). Arshad felt that ICL offered better career prospects, as it was growing much faster than Gem, which was a relatively small company. Although Arshad had enjoyed working there (at Gem), he realized that to grow further in his field, he would have to join a bigger company, and preferable one that handled international projects. He was sure he would excel in his position at ICL, just as he had done in his old job at Gem. ICL had international operations and there was more than a slim chance that he would be sent to USA or the UK on a project. Knowing that this would give him a lot of exposure, besides looking good on his resume, Arshad was quite excited about his new job. Arshad joined Gunjan’s five-member team at ICL. He had met Gunjan during the orientation sessions, and was looking forward to working under her. His team members seemed warm and friendly, and comfortable with their work. He introduced himself to the team members and got to know more about each of them. Wanting to know more about his boss, he casually asked Rehman, one of the team members, about Gunjan. Rehman said, “Gunjan does not interfere with our work. In fact, you could even say that she tries to ignore us as much as she can.” Arshad was surprised by the comment but decided that Gunjan was probably leaving them alone to do their work without any guidance, in order to allow them to realize their full potential. At Gem, Arshad had worked under Sultan and had looked up to him as a guide and mentor – always guiding, but never interfering. Sultan had let Arshad make his own mistakes and learn from them. He had always encouraged individual ideas, and let the team discover the flaws, if any, through discussion and experience. He rarely held an individual member of his team responsible if the team as a whole failed to deliver – for him the responsibility for any failure was collective. Arshad remembered telling his colleagues at Gem that the ideal boss would be someone who did not interfere with his/her subordinate’s work. Arshad wanted to believe that Gunjan too was the non-interfering type. If that was the case, surely her non-interference would only help him to grow. In his first week at work, Arshad found the atmosphere at the office a bit dull. However, he was quite excited. His team had been assigned a new project and was facing a few glitches with the new software. He had thought about the problem till late in the night and had come up with several possible solutions. He could not wait to discuss them with his team and Gunjan. He smiled to himself when he thought of how Gunjan would react when he will tell her that he had come up with several possible solutions to the problem. He was sure she would be happy with his having put in so much effort into the project, right from day one. He was daydreaming about all the praise that he was going to get when Gunjan walked into the office. Arshad waited for her to go into her cabin, and after five minutes, called her up, asking to see her. She asked him to come in after tem minutes. When he went in, she looked at him blankly and asked, “Yes?” Not sure whether she had recognized him, Arshad introduced himself. She said, “Ok, but why did you want to meet me?” Arshad started to tell her about the problems they were having with the software. But before he could even finish, she told him that she was busy with other things, and that she would send an email with the solution to all the members of the team by the end of the day, and that they could then implement it immediately. Arshad was somewhat taken aback. However, ever the optimist, he thought that she had perhaps already discussed the matter with the team. Arshad came out of Gunjan’s cabin and went straight to where his team members sat. He thought it would still be nice to bounce ideas off them and also to see what solutions others might come up with. He told them of all the solutions he had in mind. He waited for the others to come up with their suggestions but not one of them spoke up. He was surprised, and asked them point-blank why they were so disinterested. Aftab, one of the team members, said, “What is the point in our discussing these things? Gunjan is not going to have time to listen to us on discuss anything. She will just give us the solution she thinks is best, and we will just do what she tells us to do; why waste everyone’s time?” Arshad felt his heart sink. Was this the way things worked over here? However, he refused to lose heart and thought that maybe, he could change things a little. But as the days went by, Arshad realized that Gunjan was the complete opposite of his old boss. While she was efficient at what she did and extremely intelligent, she had neither the time nor the inclination to groom her subordinates. Her solutions to problem were always correct, but she was not willing to discuss or debate the merits of any other ideas that her team might have. She did not hold the team down to their deadlines not did she ever interfere. In fact, she rarely said anything at all. If work did not get finished on time, she would just blame her team, and totally disassociate herself from them. Time and again, Arshad found himself thinking of Sultan his old boss, and of how he had been such a positive influence. Gunjan, on the other hand, even without actively doing anything, had managed to significantly lower his motivation levels. Arshad gradually began to lose interest in his work – it had become too mechanical for his taste. He didn’t really need to think; his boss had all the answers. He was learning nothing new, and he felt his career was going nowhere. As he became more and more discouraged, his performance suffered. From being someone with immense promise and potential Arshad was now in danger of becoming just another mediocre techie.

Question2: What should Arshad do to resolve his situation?

Programmer defined Function / Arrays: 1.Write a function for printing an array. void print_array (int arr[], int size); 2. Write a function to generate an array of random integers. void random_array (int arr[], int size, int range); The scale of numbers should be 1 to range. 3. Write a function to find the sum of a sequence of number. int sum (int arr[], int size); 4. Write a function rotate(arr[], d, n) that rotates arr[] of size n by d elements. Example: Rotation of the above array by 2 will make array. In your main function, call the above functions:  Declare an array of size that input by user.  Initialize this array with random values. (task 2)  Display this array. (task 1)  Display the sum of the numbers in the array. (task 3)  Ask user for number of elements to rotate ‘d’.  Call the user defined function named ‘rotate’. (task 4)  Display the array again.

A door is closed under the control of a spring and dashpot. The spring gives a torque of 13.5 Nm when the door is closed and has a stiffness of 50 N.m/rad. The dashpot gives a damping torque of 100 N.m.s/rad. The moment of inertia of the door about its hinges is 90 Kg.m2. Derive an expression for the motion of the door if it is opened 90o and released and find approximately the time it takes to close

Before the audit report was signed, the audit team encountered the following situation. Treat each situation independently and assume the remaining financial statements are fine.

1) A property owned by Cook’s Furniture Ltd was sold to Lidia Preston, the wife of Howard Cook in June 2020. The property has a market value of four million and was sold at 3.2 million. Management did not disclose this in the financial statement because they believed this was a private matter. The disposal of this asset has been appropriately accounted for on the financial statements (e.g. the asset was removed from PPE and the loss of disposal was correctly recognised as an expense).

2) The subsequent selling price of the ready-made furniture range suggests the inventory valuation as at 30 June 2020 should be written down by $48,000 but management only wrote $38,000 off as per the financial statements because they were confident that they can increase the selling price again in 2021 after people settling back to normality.

3) Carl Cook decided to retire in 2021 due to health reasons, Carl is willing to sell his shareholding to the remaining shareholders. However, the BoD decided to explore the potential of selling the business. By the time to sign the 2020 financial statements, the company has not commenced a negotiation with any potential buyer. The BoD said to the auditor that they may not sell the business if they cannot get a good deal. Carl’s retirement decision is disclosed on the financial statements, but not the intention to sell the business.

REQUIRED: For each of the above situation:

a) Discuss the audit procedure that the auditor needs to perform in relation to each situation.

b) Explain which audit opinion is appropriate for each situation.
