The COSO framework of internal controls is practised within companies around the world. The objectives of the COSO framework are closely related to its five components. For this week’s activity, please discuss these five components of the COSO framework. Be sure to include each components’ impact on each of the COSO framework objectives. What do you feel an auditor would most be concerned with during an IT audit? Lastly, discuss suggestions for integrating COSO framework compliance into a company in which you are familiar with. Your paper should meet the following requirements: Be approximately 2-4 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page. Follow APA6 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion. Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources. Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Pick one of the following terms for your research: Ethical Culture. DEFINITION: a brief definition of the key term followed by the APA reference for the term; this does not count in the word requirement. SUMMARY: Summarize the article in your own words- this should be in the 150-200 word range. Be sure to note the article’s author, note their credentials, and why we should put any weight behind his/her opinions, research, or findings regarding the key term. DISCUSSION: Using 300-350 words, write a brief discussion, in your own words of how the article relates to the selected chapter Key Term. A discussion is not rehashing what was already stated in the article, but the opportunity for you to add value by sharing your experiences, thoughts, and opinions. This is the most important part of the assignment.

Assignment:1) Create a post which compares and contrasts SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS, and provide an example of each. Initial posts should be a minimum of 400 words that cites atleast 3 sources and follows APA formatting.Also, respond to at least two peers’ posts. Responses should be substantiative and clear and further the conversation by stating what you learned from the post and asking questions. A suggested minimum is 150 words.

No unread replies.No replies.IntroductionIt is always wise to have a best possible alternative to a negotiable agreement (BATNA), which is the best outcome you could achieve if the negotiation fails and you must follow another course of action.25For example, say you want a salary raise of $5,000 per year, but you will accept $3,000 if it is offered. What will you do if you are unable to get the $3,000 raise? Will you settle for your current salary? Will you quit your job and try to find a higher paying job in another organization? Once you have identified your BATNA, you will be in a better position to figure out your zone of possible agreement (ZOPA) which is the area where two sides in a negotiation may find common ground26 For example, say you request your $5,000 salary raise and your boss tells you that the best offer will be $3,500. Since this figure lies within the zone that both parties find acceptable, then it is likely an agreement will be reached.Unit Learning OutcomesULO 1: Analyze the different bargaining approaches (CLO 1, 4 and 5, PLO 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6)ULO 2: Evaluate the different negotiation and dispute processes of reaching an agreementacceptable to all parties (CLO 2, 4 & 5, PLO 1, 2, 4, and 6)ULO 3: Examine the different types of conflict and determine if these conflicts are positive or negative to an organizations performance. (CLO2 and 3, PLO 1, 4, 6, and 7)DirectionsBlended Students: The initial response is to be posted to the unit discussion thread at least five (5) hours PRIOR to the scheduled class session. Respond to a minimum of two peers’ initial postings. The peer responses are due by 11:59 p.m. (CT), on Sunday. In unit 8, peer response postings will be due by 11:59 p.m. CT (Central Time), on Friday.Online Students: Initial posts are due by 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, CT (Central Time). After posting your initial responses, engage with your fellow classmates by responding with 2 or more replies to other students’ posts. Your responses to peers’ posts should be completed every Sunday by 11:59 p.m. CT, but you are also required to sign in and contribute at least 4 days per unit (do not concentrate your responses over only one or two days). The assignment will consist of your responses to specific questions in each unit that are to be submitted to the discussion area. It is highly recommended that you support your commentary with external resources (preferably not the textbook), and cite according to APA format.To summarize;If there are two discussion questions for the unit, you must answer both of the discussion questions. In addition, select two posts of your peers for each discussion question and react to them (for a total of 6 posts).In a situation where you may be assigned a single question for the unit, answer your discussion question and react to the posts of three of your peers (for a total of 4 posts).Discussion QuestionsRead the following article to answer the discussion questions (link below).MacDermott, T. & Riley, J. (2011). Alternative dispute resolution and individual workplace rights: The evolving role of fair work Australia. Journal of Industrial Relations, 53(5), 718-732.“Alternative dispute resolution and individual workplace rights: The evolving role of fair work Australia” (Links to an external site.)Compare and contrast the Fair Work Australia with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in the United States.In your opinion, describe the protections that should be standard for employees in the workplace.

The traits: Sensitive, Conscientious and Devoted correspond with which PDs (on that page)? Read thecharacteristics of those 3 traits (first page of each corresponding chapter in NPSP) and thencompare those traits to the symptoms listed in the DSM for the corresponding PDs (those are in a separatemodule if you need to reference them). Upon doing so think to yourself, “how does a normaltrait become pathological?” Attempt to explain in the post how these personality traits exist is normal andproductive fashion and what might happen that pushes these traits past the sense of normalcy intothe “pathological” zone? Would someone who scores high in one of these traits be more likely todevelop the corresponding PD, why or why not? What might be some protective factors and riskfactors? If you have these personality traits what might you do to keep yourself grounded so thatthese traits do not become too extreme? If the traits do become extreme how does that affect theperson’s daily functioning?
