    Scott and Mia, I am not sure which one of your can help me, but in reconciling our account I have discovered a few issues and have some questions. The swiped amount on the reports provided for the GL reconciliation do not always match the swiped amount. I understand that a vendor can undercharge a charge and swipe a card multiple times, but I did not think they could process cards for more than the total payment amount. For example, in tying out our invoice for 2/28-3/6/2018 I found that the swiped amount ties to our invoice/what was paid out via our account, but the swiped amount is for a different amount than what was issued. In six of the seven instances where the swiped amount was different than the issued amount, the swiped amount…

    The auditors could have detected this embezzlement and fraud by performing additional audit procedures for cash and inventory. With respect to cash-skimming scheme, the auditor could investigate further on the “Office” line item of certain cash report sheets by inquiring the company’s personnel and the management. Similarly, the auditor could also use analytical procedures to gain an overall assessment of sales and profitability across individual stores. Because the cash receipt was taken into consideration in determining sales and profitability of stores affected by the embezzlement, stores that consistently exhibit relatively lower sales and profitability may raise auditor’s eyebrows. Additionally, since the cash-skimming operation was not…

    The reason I chose to take this photo was because I feel that it sends the obvious message that we should stop the social inequality going on around us. We should stop focusing on our differences and focus more on our similarities and possible common goals. Maybe if we did this we could truly grow and become unified as a nation. We as a society should join forces and put an end to all of the discrimination and racism that surrounds us daily. I know that in a way this is an unrealistic expectation because the odds of there being absolutely zero inequality are closer to none than anything.…

    Archbishop Desmond Tutu expresses in the following simple yet elegant phrase the philosophies inherent in restorative justice, “…true reconciliation exposes the awfulness, the abuse, the hurt, and the truth…”. The frank exposure of emotional, physical and psychological injury may, however, adversely impact the victim(s) or alleged perpetrator in the short term. While restorative justice can be a risky undertaking, “only an honest confrontation with reality can bring real healing”. In the criminal justice system today in the United States, “real healing” seems to be a secondary principle; priority is given to proving the innocence or guilt of the accused in a trial conducted by a judge with the services of lawyers and the jury. The main stakeholders,…
