importance of forensic auditing in the accounting profession

Research the above topic and write a summary which will be a Power Point with audio.

discussion the critical approach 1

Provide an analysis of your classmates’ post – What did you take away? What did you learn? Be detailed and provide examples.

â–¢ Add to the discussion – What can you offer to the post? Possibly something they did not add or provide a personal example.

â–¢ Pose a thought-provoking question OR Provide an external, credible resource:

-Posing a question – Ask something other than, what do you think? Do you agree or disagree? The question should be open-ended, where the person is forced to answer the question with more than a yes/no response.

-Provide an external resource (yes, you can use the same resource for both classmates) – As master level students you must go beyond the textbook, contributing to the discussion by using other credible sources.

â–¢ Use proper in-text citations and list resources in APA style format.

revised risk and return assignment 1

Please complete the attached assignment after you watch the risk & return video.

PFI-FIN 3331 Revised Risk Return Assignment.pdf

Part I (Based on the video): Fully watch the video and answer the following questions.

Question 1: According to the video, how do we define risk?

Question 2: According to the video, how would the risk of a portfolio consisting of stocks from a variety of economic sectors compare to one consisting of stocks from just one sector? What is the technical finance term for this concept?

Question 3: According to the video, what is the difference between std. dev. and beta in terms of measuring risk?

Question 4: According to the video, what are some caveats associated with CAPM?

Question 5: According to the video, what is the difference between systematic and unsystematic risk? How is each type of risk impacted by holding a well-diversified portfolio?

Part II

Question 1: You invest in a portfolio of 5 stocks with an equal investment in each one. The betas of the 5 stocks are as follows: .8, -1.3, .95, 1.2 and 1.4. The risk-free return is 3% and the market return is 7%.

  1. Compute the beta of the portfolio.
  2. Compute the required return of the portfolio.

Question 2: You are given the following probability distribution for a stock:

Probability Outcome

.5 -6%

.5 18%

  1. A) Compute the expected return.
  2. B) Compute the standard deviation.
  3. C) Compute the coefficient of variation.

Part III

Question 1: What is the rationale for the positive correlation between risk and expected return?

Question 2: Why is it possible to eliminate unsystematic risk in a well-diversified portfolio? Likewise, why is it not possible to eliminate systematic risk?

case study on one of the current mass killings happening in the world darfur syria somalia ukraine burma or nigeria

Learning about genocide causes us to question why anyone would commit such extreme acts of violence. Those behind genocide have a rationale that we are usually incapable of understanding.

The United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide was signed in December 1948, and has been in force since January 1951. Article II of the convention defines genocide as any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, as such:

  1. Killing members of the group.
  2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group.
  3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.
  4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group.

Tasks:

Using the United Nations criteria for genocide, conduct a case study on one of the current mass killings happening in the world, Darfur, Syria, Somalia, Ukraine, Burma, or Nigeria, and write a 5- to 7-page paper that includes the following:

  • Give an overview of why genocides happen.
  • Which of the four types of genocide is happening in the country you chose: developmental, despotic, ideological, or retributive? Explain your rationale.
  • What factors were the precursors leading to this genocide? How long has the killing/conflict been going on?
  • Who are the perpetrators? Who are the victims? How many known deaths have there been?
  • What are the perpetrators hoping to achieve by engaging in this genocide?
  • Has this genocide led to problems of refugee populations for surrounding countries?
  • Has this genocide been covert and is there denial by the perpetrators to cover up the crime?
  • How great has the destruction been to the structure of the country physically and economically?
  • Has the international community intervened in this atrocity? Have they done anything to prevent future incidents?

Submission Details:

  • Your final submission will be a 5- to 7-page Microsoft Word document.
  • Cite all the sources in APA format.

the market for babies

  1. Describe the difference between “positive” economics (what-is or what-if statements) and “normative” economics (what should statements).
  1. Which type of proposition (positive or normative) do you think it would be easier to get a consensus on, and why?
  1. [Positive analysis] As we all know, at present it is illegal for parents who want to adopt a child to pay the birth mother for, or to offer to pay for, the babies they adopt. (Adoption agencies do charge for their services, of course.) Use economic theory to analyze the (potential) market for adoptive babies and answer this: what would happen if such payments were allowed? (Draw yourself a supply-and-demand graph to help you think about this question.)
  1. [Normative analysis] As we all also know, there are people who cannot have children who want to adopt, and there are pregnant women who for various reasons want to (or might be willing to) put their babies up for adoption. What do you think the government should do about the possibility of potential adoptive parents paying the birth mother directly for the babies they adopt – allow it, regulate it, or prohibit it? Give your reasons.
