Chapter 23: Audit of Cash and Financial Instruments

The amount of subjectivity involved in establishing fair value estimates can be complex for management responsible for making the fair value measurements and disclosures contained in financial statements. This is particularly true for fair value measurements for which observable market prices are not available. Auditing standards require auditors to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide reasonable assurance that fair value measurements and disclosures are in conformity with accounting standards, and auditing standards provide guidance for auditing those measurements and disclosures contained in financial statements.

a. Visit the PCAOB’s web site (pcaobus.org) to identify where in the PCAOB Auditing Standards guidance is provided for auditing fair value measurements and disclosures.

b. PCAOB auditing standards require the auditor to obtain an understanding of the entity’s process for determining fair value measurements and disclosures. Identify 5 things the auditor should consider when obtaining that understanding.

c. What should the auditor consider when engaging a specialist to perform substantive tests related to fair value assertions?

d. Briefly describe the three types of substantive tests of fair value measurements that the auditor may perform.

1. Briefly describe this leader’s background – including details such as their current role and organization, work history, educational background, family background if relevant, industry involvement.

2. Describe their approach to leadership, drawing on at least one leadership theory from the academic literature. Provide evidence to support your assessment of their leadership approach. That is, describe two specific examples of actions they have taken that demonstrate this particular leadership approach you have described.

3. What are two key challenges they have faced as a leader? How have they managed this challenge? What could they do differently to be even more effective?

4. What have you learned about leadership from studying this particular leader?

The essay needs to have a clear and coherent structure, be clearly expressed, with few errors. In your essay refer to at least (10) sources of which need to be current academic references no older than 2010. An academic reference is a journal article or academic book. It The academic references could be about the leadership theory you have chosen, about important leadership capabilities that this person has had to demonstrate (such as creating a strong Organisational culture, creating a motivating environment, influencing others or managing change), or about the challenges they face.

I want to do research about the evolution of Genus Panthera. Like lions, tigers, jaguars, leopards, snow leopards. I want to know how they are different from them from the past and present. I plan to do the research by reading article and books. I really like big cats that’s why I want to do it.
Due on the day of the final exam is a five-page paper (or other creative work) on a topic of your choice, which has to do with evolution or evolutionary science. The goal of this assignment is for you to demonstrate to me that you can take some of the big lessons we cover in this course, and use them to think about things that I didn’t explicitly teach you about. See below for details.

If you choose to do a paper, the paper must be submitted in the form of .doc, .pdf, or. odt. If you choose to do a paper, it should be about five pages long, double-spaced. Some form of standard citations are required, including a bibliography or works cited list. I do not care what bibliographic format you use, but your citations and bibliography must conform to some standard format: APA, AAA, Chicago 5th, MLA, etc. If you are not familiar with bibliography formats, then take some time to do some research and understand one of the above formats.

Requirements for other formats besides papers will vary.

After you have posted your topic proposal to this forum, I will approve or disapprove your topic. You won’t get points until I have approved your topic! And you won’t be able to submit a final paper or project either.

Instructions:

Here, in one paragraph, describe your project. At minimum, I need to know what kind of work you want to do and what your topic will be.

What kind of work can I do? You can do anything you want. Most students write 5-page papers, but I accept works of fiction (prehistoric fiction, speculative fiction, science-fiction, etc.), works of programming, games, poetry, musical works, presentations, works of art, interpretive dance (no one has done this one for ANTH 001 yet), and many other formats. I allow you to select your own format because I want to make room for people whose strengths go beyond writing nonfiction prose. This is not an invitation for you to slack! Choose the format in which you think you will produce the best work. If you’re confused, go for a paper.

What can my topic be? Your topic must pertain to evolution or evolutionary science. That is the main thing that I am looking for when I read over your topics. Within the realm of “evolution and evolutionary science” there is a lot you can do. Anything to do with the following topics will work:

Nonfiction paper topics: genetics; paleontology; animal or plant husbandry; eugenics; human evolution; human biological variety; human ecology; critical thinking about the implications of evolutionary theory; the evolution of a favorite plant, animal, or fungus species; political questions around evolutionary theory; political questions around genomic technologies; new advances in medicine; evolutionary understandings of race, sex, gender, class . . .

Fiction is popular, but also a bit trickier. It can be difficult for some writers to demonstrate an understanding of evolutionary theory over the course of a short story, but I have gotten interesting work about: future scientists reconstructing the evolution of a futuristic animal; speculative natural histories of imaginary planets or times (see Dougal Dixon’s After Man or Wayne Barlowe’s Expedition to Darwin IV); stories of human evolution across space; and lots of stories about genetic dystopias and utopias.

Below are some topics I will not accept:

– “The evolution of X,” where X is not a living thing, and therefore not actually subject to biological evolution. I do not accept topics like, “the evolution of video games,” “the evolution of automobiles,” or “the evolution of firearms” because video games, firearms, and automobiles do not evolve — they are technological artifacts that we make to please us, based on historically specific needs and wants.
Exceptions: You may write about stone tools, art, hunting, or anything that might be discussed in the context of the lifestyles of prehistoric humans.

– “The evolution of X,” where X is an individual person. I do not accept topics like, “the evolution of a football player” or “the evolution of a fashion model,” because what you are actually talking about in these papers is better described as, “the training of a football player” or “the development of a fashion model.” Individual persons do change, but that change is only evolutionary in a metaphorical sense. Species and populations undergo evolution, not individual persons.
Exceptions: You may write the biography of a scientist, naturalist, or other scholar who has contributed to our understanding of evolutionary theory. You may write a biography of other important figures in the history of evolutionary research including non-human figures like Koko, Kanzi, Lucy, etc.

– “The evolution of X,” where X is an idea. I do not accept topics like, “the evolution of liberalism in the US” nor “the evolution of corporate structure” because these are ideas or social constructs that do not undergo evolutionary processes. Instead they are subject to historically specific needs and wants among humans.
Exceptions: You may write about how certain scientific, philosophical, political ideas have impacted understandings of evolution, or visa versa.

If you are writing a paper, please take a minute to consider whether or not your topic can be handled in a satisfactory way in a paper of five or fewer pages. Please remember, I read a lot of these!

If you are having a hard time deciding what to write about, see what other students are doing . . .

Create a diagram or illustration addressing the following in a paper. Once you create the diagram you will need to explain the diagram in a paragraph referring to the images you have chosen.

Identify the different cloud types
The elevation, air flow, and atmospheric pressure for each cloud type
How atmospheric pressure affects seasonal changes
You may create more than 1 visual or a series of visuals to address each prompt. Please make sure you use proper APA format with figure numbers, legends, citations and refer to your image when writing about it.
