Current Events 3:

These assignments are intended to:
(a) increase your ability to research current events related to fraud,
(b) increase your understanding of a particular type of fraud, and
(c) provide an opportunity to critically evaluate articles about fraud. Each of these is consistent with the UMUC learning objectives.

Please, use a local news report or perhaps the Internet to find a fraud case involving a type of fraud covered to date in the course. The submission should be presented in Times New Roman font, 12 pitch, and one-inch margins, which are standard for APA (American Psychological Association) formatting. Paragraphs should be single spaced, with one blank line between paragraphs. Use of language to extend length without much content is obvious and will be discounted accordingly. Following these guidelines, you will have plenty of content to fulfill the two to three-page length requirement. NO MORE THAN THREE PAGES of narrative should be necessary for most cases. Most reports can be completed in two pages or less.

  • Select and read a current events article discussing a fraud case. In this context, current refers to articles published within the past 18 months. If you reside overseas, an article published in an overseas news report may be used, if appropriate sourcing is used in the submitted Report. Sources in English are required. APA reference list entries typically end with: Retrieved from:, followed by a hyperlink to the article. This might be important for sources published overseas.
  • Write a one paragraph summary of the case. A summary should state, in your own words, the main issues of the case and key facts. A summary is not a retyping of all or part of the source article. Use proper APA referencing, including in-text citations and a reference list, referring to the article you are using as a source for facts about the case you are presenting. It is best to begin with a sentence about the crime and to include an in-text citation. Including the title of the article you retrieved the case details from is not as professional as stating a fact about the case, with an in-text citation.
  • Write two to four paragraphs about the relevance of the case to the industry and fraud. This is where you analyze the fraud case. Consider the following:
    • Identify the key issues posed by the case.
    • List the applicable stakeholders and their rights and obligations.
    • Which choices were available to the individual(s) involved and what were or are the costs or tradeoffs?
    • Comment on how the situation was or should be resolved.
    • Who (individual or group) was or will be impacted by the situation?
    • Point out any questions you believe should be considered by your readers about the case that will add substance to learning.
    • Write a paragraph to express your opinion about the case and issues involved. Be sure to back up your opinions. Remember, this is your opinion about the case and issues involved, not about how the article you are referring to was written.
    • Be certain to comment on what controls or aspect of the circumstances involved surrounding the fraud might be changed to deter future frauds of similar nature. This relates specifically to the deterrence aspect of the class material and is important. Suggested changes should be supported by sources from class readings or similar sources from the UMUC library.
    • Verify there is a reference within your Report to the article you found the case details in. Usually that is referred to with an in-text citation in the sentence where you first refer to the case.

The Report should be written in prose, rather than provided as a bullet list or in an outline format.

The deliverable should be single-spaced, with a blank line between paragraphs. Indented first lines for each paragraph are preferred. Examples of APA in-text citation formats and reference list formatting are available from the Resources in our classroom. Submitted Reports are to be single-spaced because they are likely closest to the format you would provide summaries and documents to your professional colleagues and organization leaders.

About Skimming:

For the three current events Reports, as well as the other class assignments, “Skimming” refers to the process of extracting cash from incoming receipts to an enterprise. This type of cash skimming scheme is discussed in Chapter 3 of the Corporate Fraud Handbook, available at Books 24/7 in the UMUC library under e-Books. Reports submitted which focus on a case involving extraction of credit card information from an ATM or sales station at a retail establishment will not be looked on favorably. That type scheme is often referred to in the media as skimming, but not the type of cash skimming we are discussing during this course. The credit card cases referred to are typically closer to identity theft, rather than a form of cash larceny discussed during our course.

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

/in /by

 Please follow the instruction below

zero plagiarism

5 references not more than 5years

it is estimated that more than 6% of the U.S. population will experience posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their lifetime (National Center for PTSD, 2010). This debilitating disorder often interferes with an individual’s ability to function in daily life. Common symptoms of anxiousness and depression frequently lead to substance abuse issues and even physical ailments. For this Discussion, as you examine the Thompson Family Case Study in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with PTSD.

Post on or before Day 3 an explanation of your observations of the client William in Thompson Family Case Study, including behaviors that align to the PTSD criteria in DSM-5. Then, explain therapeutic approaches you might use with this client, including psychotropic medications if appropriate. Finally, explain expected outcomes for the client based on these therapeutic approaches. Support your approach with evidence-based literature.

Watch the following required video, which uses The Matrix to explain the problem of how we can, or cannot, prove that we are NOT brains in vats, but that we really are experiencing an external world that is just as it appears to be.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLKrmw906TM

question

Prompt: Is there any way to refute skeptical arguments like the brain in a vat (BIV) argument (i.e. that while it seems to us that we are walking around in the world normally, that in reality we are just brains in vats, connected to a vast computer inputting all our experiences)? How can we know that the external world really is as it seems to be to us through the senses?

Please write a minimum 200 word response to the prompt; and then write a 100 word response to one of your fellow students’ posts.

IOP/455; Professional Ethics, Discussion Response (1)

Please respond to classmate. Be constructive and professional in your responses.

Response should be at least 175 words.

Lamonze Parker

Hello Class and professor,

The real problem with having an international code of ethics is the cultural differences in different countries. You may choose to not do business with countries who have strict guidelines on something like sensuality, religion or political views. Implementation of a universal code may no go over well. Apple operates in China and the labor laws are very different there than they are here. Having a international code of ethics could possibly stop production in that country forcing the price of phone to go up if they are produced elsewhere . As much as I disagree with the standard held in different countries you can’t argue with the facts. We want justice but most of us don’t want to pay for it. The best standard is to have a region specific guide line that you want your business to abide by. Keep in mind that you can’t highlight production facilities in different countries on your daily reports if they have less than practical working policies. Try to find places with like minded views to work with in order to align with your standards.
