Should high school athletes have to submit to random drug testing? What about students who participate in academic decathalons or cheerleading? There have been increased efforts to have all high school students complete drug testing, regardless of whether or not they play a sport. Do you think all high school students should be tested for illegal drug use? In addition do you think random drug testing will decrease illicit drug use in high school students? Why or why not? Be sure to support your position with information from your textbook, the article below, and other scholarly sources.

Audit Planning and Control

It is common industry knowledge that an audit plan provides the specific guidelines auditors must follow when conducting an external audit. External public accounting firms conduct external audits to ensure outside stakeholders that the company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) standards.

Use the Internet to select a public company that appeals to you. Imagine that you are a senior partner in a public accounting firm hired to complete an audit for the chosen public company.

Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you:

Outline the critical steps inherent in planning an audit and designing an effective audit program. Based upon the type of company selected, provide specific details of the actions that the company should undertake during planning and designing the audit program.

Examine at least two (2) performance ratios that you would use in order to determine which analytical tests to perform. Identify the accounts that you would test, and select at least three (3) analytical procedures that you would use in your audit.

Analyze the balance sheet and income statement of the company that you have selected, and outline your method for evidence collection which should include, but not be limited to, the type of evidence to collect and the manner in which you would determine the sufficiency of the evidence.

Discuss the audit risk model, and ascertain which sampling or non-sampling techniques you would use in order to establish your preliminary judgment about materiality. Justify your response.

Assuming that the end result is an unqualified audit report, outline the primary responsibilities of the audit firm after it issues the report in question.

Use at least two (2) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

• Case Study

Read the following case study and answer the questions that follow:

Grace Speak is a fourth-year student at Best University. She and her fellow classmates are working hard in their final courses and preparing for exams. Inspired by the teamwork that the healthcare profession espouses, Grace gets an idea for a study group. She thinks it will really help to share case experiences, course notes, and study tips. Unfortunately, several members of her peer group live out of town, which makes it difficult for them to participate fully. Grace is torn, as she does not want to exclude them from the study group. When she voices her concerns to a classmate, her friend suggests using social media tools as the primary medium for sharing information.

1. Grace decides to establish a set of “ground rules” from the outset when she forms the study group. Create a set of “ground rules” that will help to create a group with full participation by all members and that will not place members of the group at risk, for either privacy or academic (plagiarism) concerns. Provide your reasoning for the “ground rules” you established.

2. In a specific week, the assignment is particularly challenging. One of the students in the study group offers to post the “answers” he received from a student who completed this same assignment last year from the same instructor. Grace knows that one of her close friends in the study group is at risk of failing if she does not do well on this assignment. Describe how Grace might handle this situation to reduce the academic risk of plagiarism for herself, her friend, and other members of the study group.

1-) Answer the followings;

a-) whenever they live together rather than apart there's more similarity in IQ scores between identical twins, siblings, biological parents and children, and even unrelated individuals. These findings suggest that _______________________ contributes to intelligence.

b-) The _____________ effect refers to the tendency for absolute intelligence to increase over successive generations.

c-) All psychological tests, including intelligence tests, must meet three criteria. Those include ___________, ______________ and __________.

d-) A physchologist administer an intelligence test to a representative group of 500 adults to determine the average performance and develop a set of norms for the test. This will help establish the test criterion of _________________________.

e-) A psychologist administers a personality test to group of college students in September and then has the students take the same test again in November. She then correlates the September scores with the November scores and observes a strong positive correlation between the two set of scores. In terms of the three test criteria, this personality test is ______________________________.

f-) When teachers expect that particular students will excel academicaly, the teacher may unintentionally treat these students in ways that will eilicit high academic performance. Similarly, when teacher expect that particular students will perform poorly in class, the teachers may unintentionally treat these students in ways that will elicit poor academic perofrmance. The process by which these epxectations become reality is called a ________________

g-) In attempting to explain group differences in intellgence scores, Steele had male and female students take a test composed of difficult math questions. When the students were infromed that the questions were an accurate test of mathmetical abilities and limitations, women performed worse than men. However, when the students were told that the questions were simply part of a psychology experiment, men and women performed equally well. These results illustrate a phenomenon known as _______________________________.

Instructions: Write your responses to the following 5 questions for at least 5 of the 7 example news stories about correlational studies:

1. Identify X and describe how it is being measured
2. Identify Y and describe how it is being measured
3. State the direction of the correlation (+ or –)
4. Identify a possible Z (third) variable
5. Fully interpret the relationship between X and Y (in plain English)

Example 5: Internet use in class leads to lower test scores  

You are approached by a 3^rd year health sciences student who is trying to recruit you to participate in a study of student mental health.  You are told that it involves an online survey, and covers topics like your current mental health, whether or not you access campus resources for mental health care, past experiences that may have been involved in the determination of your mental health experiences, and how your mental health relates to your academic outcomes during first year.

The 3rd year student is a research assistant on this project that is led by a new faculty member.  He is being paid to recruit students, and he tells you that he gets $25 for each successful recruit.

He explains the survey protocol in detail to you.  The protocol involves having you sign in to a web-based survey platform, provide a bit of information about yourself and your background, then answer questions about your mental health.  You will fill out the survey and provide your student ID number which will be linked with your academic record over first year (provided by the University Registrar), and also your health care visits to Student Health Services over the year (provided by Student Health and Wellness Services).  

Once the survey is completed you will receive a coupon for Tim Hortons, and also be eligible to enter a draw for a new iPad.  The study data will be kept by the student on his laptop, as well as the faculty members’ server.  Your name will be provided as part of the survey, but will never be used in any reporting.

In a one page response (maximum), please describe the types of questions you would ask the person recruiting you for study, in order to determine whether this research meets ethical standards.

Review of Current Accounting Issues

In your accounting career you will be required to analyse current accounting issues and communicate your theoretical understanding to your professional colleagues and your clients. For this assignment assume that you are the senior accountant working for a major firm.

Question (1,500 words)

The CEO has forwarded to you an interesting article and requires you to provide her with a deeper theoretical understanding of the issues discussed so that she can fully engage in the lively discourse at an upcoming conference.

You are required to find a newspaper article or web page report of an item of accounting news, i.e. it refers to a current event, consideration, comment or decision that has been published after the 1st of January 2018. Your article could also come from one of the professional journals. The article should not come from an academic journal. Academic journals generally do not contain news articles or articles of less than one page and are usually only published 2 or 4 times a year. If you are having a problem ensuring that your article is from an appropriate source contact your subject coordinator.

You then need to explain the article that you have found in your own words and clearly relate the concepts, ideas and facts within the article to one or more of the theories or topics that you have studied this session. Support your analysis of the assumptions and implications of the topic or theory as appropriate with reference to sources in APA 6 style. For example, this article from the Sydney Morning Herald in April 2016 could be linked to the topics of accounting regulation and measurement (and perhaps others). You must provide a copy of the article or web page, with details of the source, date and page number with your answer.
