I have provided my analysis on important audit and accounting issues of the Youth Singers below: This audit engagement will be high-risk due to the following factors: - YS is a new client therefore we are not familiar with their routines. - YS has never been been audited before therefore, any information about internal controls or management support cannot be obtained through previous auditors. - Segregation of duties is doubtful. One person is in charge for routine operational activities. -…

For my event coverage I attended the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure breast cancer walk/run. This is a huge organization that is held all around the country and this past weekend the event was held at Six Flags Great Adventure. The event took place outdoors and the weather was a perfect balance of a sunny day with the chill of fall. I liked to think the weather represented what the cause of the cure walk was for to brighten the bone chilling disease of breast cancer. It was truly inspiring to…

I went to homelessness and aging workshop to get more information about older adult who are homelessness. I know that not so many people know that there are many older adult who are homeless. I was doing a class project relating to homelessness among older adult with my friends and we all went to the workshop to get more information. The workshop was more like discussion group, which everyone can talk and give their opinion. By listening to people talking or giving their opinion, I gain more…

"Thank you all for coming out tonight, and remember you can make more donations online. The children of the El Hato school really need our help. Have a wonderful night!" I stepped off the stage and breathed a sigh of relief. The benefit concert had been a success. Ali, the social activities manager at Gleneagles Country Club, gave me a hug, and Mr. Spina, the general manager, shook my hand and congratulated me. The country club members who had attended our concert rushed over to ask us questions…

Being a shy freshman in a student body of over two thousand students, high school was a difficult situation for me to tackle. I was never comfortable around people in my school, so I searched for clubs to help me adapt to a new social order. It was due to this that I wound up in Mock Trial, a club I had no idea even existed but ended up loving. Mock Trial has taught me how to function in uncomfortable situations and how to lead those around me to success. While Mock Trial is a club for future…

Karen Martin was a 31-year-old wife, mother, sister, daughter, and educator. She lived a healthy lifestyle full of hiking, outdoor activities and spending time with her daughters Carmen and Cali.

Karen was diagnosed with breast cancer and after further examination they discovered it was at the second stage. Karen battled this disease for three years until she had to tell her daughters goodbye too…

dropping and rising to compensate for the loss of our copper pal. Even though pennies may seem small they add up quick! In the article, Give a Penny, Save the day By Ted Waterhouse, he discusses a middle school that raised over $3000 in one week of fundraising. They also talk about how people are more willing to pay with pennies than they would be with any other coin. One student from the middle school said, “If you asked for my quarters I would have said no because I use them for videogames.”…

The one way plane ride to Yorktown, Virginia is one I will never forget. I was barely sixteen years old, an upcoming tenth grader in a small rural town hidden in the wheat fields of southeastern Washington and cautiously aware, that getting back home was going to take a lot of hard work. As the plane descended and the lights of the airport grew brighter, I picked up my map and studied it one last time. What less than 1% of the population will ever even think about attempting, I was ready to…

As a part of this group I have volunteered at various fundraising events. A few of these major events are the Empty Bowl and the Chili Cook Off.
