A wealthy billionaire recently retired since his travel business was adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. He wants to start a mutual fund focusing on equities. He has hired two fund managers. One of them is his son who is a graduate of the University of Adelaide and believes in market efficiency. You are the second fund manager. You are skeptical about market efficiency having read a number of academic and practitioner articles on the topic. Since your boss is not a finance person, you need to convince him regarding the investment strategies that you will use in conjunction with your colleague

In the interest of equity, your boss is thinking of allocating equal amount of the funds undermanagement to you and your colleague. Is this the correct approach? Argue your case – equal or not using concepts learned in the course. What methodology should you use to come-up with the best allocation scheme?

The choice of the measurement model to be used in Financial Statements has always been particularly complex and controversial within the academic community, standard setters and practice. In a recent speech, the Chairman of IASB, emphasized: ‘[…] I was struck by the multitude of measurement techniques that both IFRSs and US GAAP prescribe, from historic cost, through value-in-use, to fair value and many shades in between. In all, our standards employ about 20 variants based on historic cost or current value.’ Hans Hoogervost, Chairman IASB (20 June 2012). It is expected that neither fair value nor historical cost are likely to be both wholly relevant and reliable and that there is often a trade-off between the two. In practice, which measurement method, historical cost or fair value would provide the ‘best’ accounting information?

argues in support of reliability (faithful representation) and historical cost measurement method.

We have provided a list of three topics below.  Select one that is of interest to you.  For that topic, imagine that you are developing a CIHR Project Grant.  Part of that grant will be to create a thorough and convincing knowledge translation (KT) plan for your study and its findings.  In 400 words or less (that is the maximum space you will have on this grant application), please outline the essential elements of your KT plan as would be included in your grant.

Topic 1.  A randomized trial to investigate a new antiemetic therapy (vs. standard care) for use in the treatment of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy

1. The existing Conceptual Framework has several notable omissions. It does not include an explicit reference to substance over form nor does it define derecognition or when derecognition should occur. The International Accounting Standards Board has also removed prudence from its framework and has attracted criticism from the academic and practitioner communities for doing so. However, the Exposure Draft on the Conceptual Framework attempts to explain the roles of prudence and substance over form in financial reporting whilst putting forward proposals to clarify the aims of the accounting requirements for derecognition.

Required:

(i) Discuss the features of the concept of prudence and the arguments for and against its re-introduction into the Conceptual Framework.

(ii) Explain why it is important for there to be guidance in the Conceptual Framework on the role of substance over form, and the principles relating to derecognition set out in the Exposure Draft on the Conceptual Framework.

Initial Post:

Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt had very different attitudes about government and approaches to deal with the Great Depression. Describe each president's approach to the economic crisis, with examples from the speeches of President Hoover versus President Roosevelt.

Analyze the two approaches and consider:

• What was the long term impact of each President's actions?
• How did these different approaches change what Americans felt the government should be doing for them?

Your initial post should:

• Be 300-400 words in length.
• Describe each President's approach and consider the impact.
• Give at least one example from each President's speech.
• Use formal academic language, including MLA format citations- both parenthetical citations in your post, and full citations at the end. Please refer to the class Writing Guidelines and/or the MLA citation resources for a refresher.

Role of the DBA in Various Business Types.

The study materials cover how the roles and responsibilities of the database administrator may be both similar and different due to the context of various business settings, such as retail, healthcare, financial, and educational businesses. The underlying core business processes that make up the mission of the organization can influence what the role of database administrator involves. The same is true of the size of an organization. In smaller settings, database administration is just one part of a general IT role that covers a broad span of responsibilities; in a large multinational conglomerate, the role might involve very specific tasks and activities.

In this discussion, please state and explain your findings on this issue in clear academic prose, and document your facts with references from your research. The goal is to point out how the role of the DBA is impacted by the environment in which they do their work.
