The 2002 SOX Act required integrated audits for all public companies with immediate implementation by larger accelerated-filers. The 2010 Dodd-Frank Act modified section 404 of the SOX Act to exempt certain smaller companies (non-accelerated-filers) from having external audits of their ICFR.
Given the importance and function of internal controls and known fraudulent activities, do you agree with this modification that eliminated the need for these smaller public companies from having auditor’s express an opinion on their ICFR? Explain your answer.
Though recommended, there is no requirement for private and not-for-profit companies to have external auditors audit their ICFR. Explain whether you feel these organizations should have their ICFR audited by external auditors.

4. (10 pts) Hemoglobin S or sickle cell hemoglobin forms fibers
in red blood cells because
of a Glu→Val mutation on the surface of the protein. The mutated
residue interacts
with Leu and Phe residues located on the surface of a different
protein molecule. This
interaction drives the formation of the fibers. Explain why higher
concentrations are needed to form fibers at lower temperatures.

The COVID-19 crisis has led to unprecedented shock to the state of the macroeconomy. Use the IS-LM curves as well as the AD-AS curves to show how the economy will correct itself if prices are sticky or sluggish. Compare this to how the economy will correct itself when we assume prices are flexible or adjust easily over the course of a year. In one or more paragraphs explain what should happen when the economy corrects itself under each scenario. Also, discuss the impact on all variables and economic agents. Be sure to indicate the direction of movement for all variables. (25 points)

Investigators need to study the impact of the Coronavirus outbreak. It is of interest to understand how the number of hospitalizations in a particular state is associated with three predictors including the number of tests available, whether the social distancing measures are taken, and the overall population size. Answer the questions below: 1. Identify the outcome variable and its type (continuous, or binary, or count). 2. What are the predictor variables? 3. (Give the name of the model that you would like to use for this problem, and explain the reason for using the model. Do not need to write down the mathematical expression of the model.

Like all viral pathogens, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, or SARS-CoV 2 (I know, how topical), requires a cell surface receptor in order to invade a given host cell. For SARS-CoV 2, this receptor is actually the enzyme Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2, or ACE2. ACE2 is responsible for downregulation of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System by deactivation of Angiotensin II. Explain the RAAS in detail, including the roles played by kidneys and the lungs, and then explain what effects using recombinant human ACE2, or rhACE2, to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome could have on blood pressure.

Keep a record of your use of the mass media-television, internet, facebook, gaming, movies, etc.-including your reason for using these sources. Then take the role of a sociologist and write about how you might have been socialized by the media you used. What norms and values were you exposed to? How did they affect you? Which other agents of socialization (besides media) influenced your use of mass media (did peers or other groups/entities entice you?
