Your boss is part of a team that will be interviewing candidates for the position of Chief Compliance Officer. You have been asked to prepare a brief summary for the interviewers to use as a refresher for what they already know about SOX in general and Section 404 specifically. Make sure your report includes the following information:

1.    A brief description of SOX.

2.    A brief description of internal control.

3.    A list of the major requirements of Section 404.

4.    Any other information you deem important.

5.    A brief summary or conclusion to your report.

6. Appendix: Which is the better article and why do you think so?

The total paper needs to be at least 2000 words

In a leadership role, you will learn that there is an abundance of responsibilities, especially with regard to making important decisions. Decisions can be harder to make if you have a close working relationship with individuals. Place yourself in the seat of a member on the leadership team (manager, director, CEO, president, VP, etc.). Pick a scenario, from the list below, and discuss how you would go about making your decision based on your knowledge.

• Layoffs: You are challenged with a decision to layoff a team member who has been loyal to the organization for many years and has ultimately become your friend.

• Hiring: There are two people who qualify, for a position, in your department. One person has years of experience while the other person has the education.

• Sexual harassment: An employee has filed sexual harassment against a manager, who happens to be a close confidante of yours.

• Theft: A manager is suspected of stealing from the organization. This manager happens to be your relative.

This is an opportunity to get creative and also showcase your leadership skills. You may fill in the blanks however you would like. Be specific in providing the details of the scenario you choose. Additionally, you will need to address the process of your thinking regarding how you would go about making your decision and why you would choose this decision. Please use subtitles for each section. The subtitles should be labeled as follows:

• Scenario (Discuss the scenario from the list and fill in the blanks to complete the situation.)
• Decision (Describe the process of thinking and why you chose this decision.)
• Position (This section will detail why you selected this decision.)
• Conclusion

You have seven mornings per week. On each morning, you can either study, go to the rock climbing wall, or sculpt (i.e., make sculptures). If you rock climb, you must be a member of the club. The membership fee is 100 Bobos each week. And, as member, you pay 10 Bobos for each morning of climbing. If you sculpt, you must rent a studio which costs 100 Bobos per month. Each morning you sculp, you use 10 Bobos worth of material.

Your economics professor has asked you to produce a table showing your marginal cost for each of 7 mornings you might sculpt during a normal week.

ble and why the values you wrote down make
sense. Provide your answers in sections labelled
The Table
The Explanation

Assume that in October, you rationally climbed two times per week and sculpted three times per week. In November, you know that the daily climbing price will be 5 bobo per morning. Explain, using the costs and benefits of sculping, how you will decide whether to rent
a studio in November. Provide your answer in a section labelled
November

Assume that in March you rationally climbed two times per week and sculpted three times per week. A climber from out of town is willing to pay you 50 Bobos per week for your April membership. If you sell, you cannot climb. If this is the only change the professor is aware of, what does your economics professor predict about how often you sculp in April? Explain. Provide your answer in a section labelled
April

Assume that the following March, you rationally climbed two times per week and sculpted three times per week. In April the membership fee for the climbing club will increase 150 bobos per week. If this is the only change the professor is aware of, what does your economics professor predict about how often you sculp in April? Explain. Provide your answer in a section labelled
April, redux

Working with Strings

The following program illustrates the use of some of the methods in the String class. Study the program to see what it is doing.

// ***************************************************************
// StringManips.java
// Test several methods for manipulating String objects
// *************************************************************** 
import java.util.Scanner;
public class StringManips
{
   public static void main (String[] args)
   {
      String phrase = new String ("This is a String test.");
      int phraseLength; // number of characters in the phrase String 
      int middleIndex; // index of the middle character in the String
      String firstHalf; // first half of the phrase String
      String secondHalf; // second half of the phrase String
     
      // compute the length and middle index of the phrase 
      phraseLength = phrase.length(); 
      middleIndex = phraseLength / 2;

      // get the substring for each half of the phrase 
      firstHalf = phrase.substring(0,middleIndex);
      secondHalf = phrase.substring(middleIndex, phraseLength);
      // concatenate the firstHalf at the end of the secondHalf 
      switchedPhrase = secondHalf.concat(firstHalf);

      //print information about the phrase
      System.out.println();
      System.out.println ("Original phrase: " + phrase);
      System.out.println ("Length of the phrase: " + phraseLength + " characters");
      System.out.println ("Index of the middle: " + middleIndex);
      System.out.println ("Character at the middle index: " + 
      phrase.charAt(middleIndex));
      System.out.println();
   }
}

The file StringManips.java contains this program. Save the file to your directory and compile and run it. Study the output and make sure you understand the relationship between the code and what is printed. Now modify the file as follows:

Declare a variable of type String named middle3 (put your declaration with the other declarations near the top of the program) and use an assignment statement and the substring method to assign middle3 the substring consisting of the middle three characters of phrase (the character at the middle index together with the character to the left of that and the one to the right - use variables, not the literal indices for this particular string).

Add a println statement to print out the result.

Save, compile, and run to test what you have done.

Declare two new variables city and state of type String. Add statements to the program to prompt the user to enter their hometown—the city and the state.

Read in the results using the appropriate Scanner class method - you will need to have the user enter city and state on separate lines.

Then using String class methods create and print a new string that consists of the state name (all in uppercase letters) followed by the city name (all in lowercase letters) followed again by the state name (uppercase).

So, if the user enters Lilesville for the city and North Carolina for the state, the program should create and print the string

NORTH CAROLINAlilesvilleNORTH CAROLINA

Add comment lines after each variable declaration, indicating what each variable represents.

Add comment lines for each section of the program, indicating what is done in that section.

Sample run:

Original phrase: This is a String test.
Length of the phrase: 22 characters
Index of the middle: 11
Character at the middle index: t
Middle 3 characters: Str
Enter your hometown city: Lilesville 
Enter your hometown state: North Carolina 
NORTH CAROLINA lilesville NORTH CAROLINA
