Business & Finance - 24 November 2006

I am doing a research paper for my forensic account class on fraud and internal control. I need to write a suggestion on how to establish an internal control to prevent CEO from scamming people and prevent investment advisor from scamming people. This is based on true story. Here is the link to review http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/print/local...

What way can the company prevent it from happen? what can internal control auditor do? What can accountant do? What can the board of trustee can do with CEO who is scamming investors?

What way can the investor do to protect himself? How can they investingate the company to make sure it legitmate company?

Thank you for your help.

However, she does not play well with others. I'd love to do something to put this caniving little nark in her place. Keep in mind I do not wish to get (caught) fired or arrested. Any advice?

I know these two people who are fighting over who gets to file the kid on their tax returns. What if one of them files first, and the other tries later on? What will happen? Will there be an investigation to see who should really be able to file the kid or will they just tell the person that someone already filed that kid? Please tell me.

Hello,
I'm on my way to define what course to choose. I'm studing wright now at my hometown, the capital of Lithuania - Vilnius. My course is Automatics (electrical & electronics engineering). I'm on my 3-rd semester already. But I'm completely not satisfied fith the way of teaching, with facilities, and many more. So I sereously decided to go for studies in UK.
And now... I'm stucked. I don't know which course to choose.
There is only 2 of them that I consider:
a) Engineering and management
b) Business and management

What would you suggest me to choose? I want to get a good job right at the time I graduate (~40k pounds) and I think would take less my time.

P.S. At the moment I have got a lot of engineering knowledge, so it won't be as hard for me as it would be if I hadn't.
A HUGE thank you for all your answers! Appreciate it..

I am starting my own home-based business. I hope I can expand it outside of the home in a couple of years, but until then I just need to know how to start it. Like tax wise how do I go about registering and do I have to get a Tax id?

I live in jersey and am currently wondering whether or not my job is handling things legally.

I'm given 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week, however i always turn up short of 40 hours, even tho 3 out of 5 days i stay 1-2 hours late.

I asked about it and was told that its because i only work 7 1/2 hours a day, with 30 minute breaks deducted from pay.

I'm wondering if people are supposed to *get* paid breaks.

My relative is a lady in her 50's who hasn't worked for at least 20-25 years. When she last worked, she was a travel agent. Now, she needs to get back into the working world because of financial difficulties, but she's had trouble finding a job for the obvious reasons. She has no degree (except for one in fashion design from years ago, but her eyesight won't allow her to be a seamstress anymore). What do you think would be some better career choices for an intelligent woman in her 50's with only minimal computer skills? I know, it's very tough.

My close relatives are thinking about declaring bankruptcy, they're at least 100-150 thousand dollars in debt. They can just make the minimum payments, and sometimes not even, and now one of them isn't working so, doesn't seem to be much hope for them. They also have a very large mortgage, and are forced to sell their house. The house is in both their names (they're married). Some of their credit cards are joint accounts, like they both have cards with the same number. If they declared bankruptcy, could one of them just do that, rather than both of them? The majority of the money that they owe is on the husband's credit cards, but some of the money like I said is joint. Any advice on that, from anyone that's been through it? Any good bankruptcy lawyers agencies in the Los Angeles area? Thanks. :o)

I am a mom of 4 chidren and have recently posted some items for sale on Ebay. I've heard that a lot of people have had success doing this. I'm concerned though that no one is bidding on my items because I don't have a rating score yet. How will anyone trust that I will ship them the merchandise they purchased or that I'm legitimate. I know I would be skeptical to purchase anything from someone w/ no rating score. Can anyone give me any tips. I'd love to hear some success stories! I'm not looking to be rich. Just make some extra spending cash for the kid's and myself. I am a stay at home mom and thought this would be great for me. Thanks in advance for your responses!

Hence they propose redducing staff numbers by 25% but potentially employing 3 new staff to improve their skills base. How would you advise the partners approach the issue of reducing staff numbers? what relevant employment law would they need to consider when engaging new staff?

Lately at work (I work in the hotel industry), our scores have been really low. My front office manager came to me tonight and told me that I really need to start paying attention because I am making simple mistakes. She also said she is talking to everyone, I am not the only one. It just made me feel REALLY low and worthless. Anyone else gone through this and felt this way? I need cheering up guys. Nice answers need only apply. Thank you!!
