By AssignmentHelp Blog

Dealing with Traumatic Experiences.

Be creative here. Use any population that you are passionate about and come up with a scenario. Explain the scenario to me. Design a strategy for how you and your team will address the needs of that population by answering the questions below. What did this client or population experience? What are the resulting behaviors? In other words, how are they acting because of what happened? Why is this a problem? What is the desired behavior? In other words, what do you want them to find (peace, hope, safety)? What do they need? What can you (as the Human Services Professional) provide? How can you and your team be of assistance? Where will you find funding (donations, state, federal funding, etc.)? What paths to recovery can be taken (yoga, EMDR, drumming classes, etc.) and why did you choose these paths? Create a timeline with specific dates outlining how you will help this population and implement the paths to recovery. Justify why your plan will be effective.

Internal Control System

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Internal Control System. You work for a small manufacturing firm, where it is clearly too expensive to have proper segregation of duties. Because of this lack of control, management knows that opportunities exist to perpetrate fraud within the company. Management is particularly concerned with possible collusion between purchasing agents and vendors because of the relatively small size of the company and the fact that a single purchasing agent is often solely responsible for a vendor’s account. Management knows now that a lot of money can be saved by proactively preventing fraud and not just acting on a reactionary or crisis basis. They have started to establish an open-door policy where all employees are encouraged to talk about pressures and opportunities faced while on the job. Management also wants to establish a hotline where employees can report suspicious activity. Is an employee hotline necessary? Is this sort of whistle-blowing ethical? What can management do as they establish this hotline to encourage employees to actually use it?
