From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to describe the accounting software modules required by a manufacturing company in the contemporary production environment. The introduction of high- tech into the manufacturing process creates changes which render many traditional cost accounting procedures either ineffective, or irrelevant, or both ineffective and irrelevant. As a consequence, the introduction of high-tech into the production process has, in most manufacturing companies, been accompanied by a significant shift in emphasis in manufacturing management. In the recent past, the emphasis in manufacturing management was on materials inventories, ordering and production lead times, labor and material efficiency, work.in.progress (WIP) levels, finished goods inventories, and so forth. The emerging emphasis (...)"

"TRADE CREDIT AND RECEIVABLES FINANCING
The generation of capital is one of the most pressing problems facing any business venture. A great variety of capital sources exist, along with an equally great variety of methods by which these sources may be tapped by a business. For many firms, however, access to both capital sources and methods by which capital may be obtained from these sources is often restricted by a variety of diverse factors. The problem facing a firm in this context is to obtain the capital required, in the amount required, and under conditions which enable the firm to continue to fulfill its objectives. Several important factors are involved in the solution to this problem. This current research focuses on the use of trade credit by a firm as a means of generating short-term capital, and on the use of a firm?s accounts .."

The Changing Role of Organizational Accounting, 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the accountant in a modern organization must be able to perform many more functions than in the past. Managerial accountants are important in assuring that the organization is on target for meeting strategic goals. It looks at how it is no longer enough to have a basic understanding of receivables, payables and cash flow and how accountants now play an active role in management and decision making. They are responsible for goal setting, forecasting and many other activities that were previously in the realm of management and must consider corporate culture and be able to adapt their techniques to meet specific company needs.
From the Paper
"Corporate culture and accounting used to be two terms that should never occur in the same sentence. Accounting was a separate entity from other systems in the organization. Now accounting is an integral part of every phase of the business including legal, political and social systems within an organization (Shraddha and Sidney, 1997). As the needs of an organization change, so do the accounting system change to meet these changing needs. A modern accountant must be more flexible in practice than in the past. Modern accounting practices must be able to adapt a trait that was not synonymous with accounting in the past. Accounting used to adhere to a rigid set of rules and procedures, but now they must remain flexible and willing to change on short notice. "

Abstract
This paper looks at how sophisticated computer systems are a necessary cost that corporations are finding themselves faced with in order to maintain control and reliability of their computer systems. Without them accountants will be unable to appropriately balance and file reports. The paper discusses how, in order to reduce this, some corporations have put account managers in place to police their customers when checks are received and bills issued. This puts an additional level of checks and balances in place to try to eliminate inaccurate postings. The paper concludes that, although mistakes will occur even with data analysis systems and security protocols in place, the fact is that the best companies can hope for is to reduce inaccuracies.
Outline:
Fraud or Inaccuracies
In the Name of Sarbanes-Oxley
Technological Advances
Enterprise System
Security Reduce Threats
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In today's market place data is being channeled into networks through user screens that are more than likely customers' computers. They submit their orders via their own computer systems while inadvertently place security responsibilities to others. With the Internet, online ordering is putting the customer in control of what he needs and when he needs it. This puts additional pressures on companies to not only protect the data that they currently have within the walls of their servers but to also maintain some degree or order in the process flow of data from a customer. While doing this it must also be realized that customer computers must be preserved from receiving corrupt or virus laden files from the company systems when they are attached to the corporate website or host providers.

Health Information Portability Accounting Act (HIPAA), 2005.
This paper discusses the impact Health Information Portability Accounting Act (HIPPA) has had on employers and on the confidentiality of health information.
1,900 words (approx. 7.6 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 60.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the Health Information Portability Accounting Act (HIPAA) creates federally mandated requirements regarding protected health information (PHI) that can impact any employer, regardless of its size, location or industry. The author points out that employers who sponsor group health plans are affected depending on whether the employer (1) is fully insured or self-insured and (2) creates or receives Protected Health Information, defined to include all individually identifiable health information held or transmitted by a covered entity or business associate electronically or in other forms with the exceptions (a) that the Privacy Rules do not apply to employment records, including medical information employers use to comply with various disability laws, such as American Disabilities Act (ADA), and workers' compensation, or to administer workplace disability policies or substance abuse rules and (b) health information useful to the employer in administering their health plan. The paper relates that the act allows adolescents access to confidential care for contraception and sexually transmitted diseases and other services.

Introduction
HIPPA Privacy Rules
HIPPA Compliance and Employers
HIPPA and Consumers
From the Paper
"In connection with implementing a compliance program, group health plans are exempt from these requirements if they provide health benefits solely through an insurance contract with a health insurance issuer or an HMO and they do not create or receive PHI except for summary health information, or information regarding the status of an individual's enrollment, or disenrollment from the HMO or health insurance issuer. It is important to note that employers must consider their activities not only in the context of use and disclosure of PHI between the group health plan and the plan sponsor, but also in the context of any disclosures of PHI to a third party. A disclosure from the group health plan to a third party administrator would require adequate assurances of confidentiality, and would require a business associate agreement under the Privacy Rule before PHI could be disclosed."

From the Paper
"Citizen comments have long since been part of town hall meetings in local government. Citizens attend the local government meeting and sign up to be heard. There is usually a time limit on how long they can speak thereby giving many the opportunities to be heard. The local government usually places a rule where the officials cannot respond or defend they must simply listen to the comments of the citizens and take note."

Accountability for Education, 2008.
This paper discusses the No Child Left Behind program, arguing its ineffectiveness.
1,253 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 42.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the so-called No Child Left Behind program has been a key educational initiative promoted by the Bush Administration, which claims that the program means accountability, that children are helped by the program, and that the program should in fact be expanded so as to assure that children receive the education they deserve. On the other hand, the writer notes that critics find that the law is ineffective, that the program does not serve the needs of children at all, that what happens is that teaching is changed so everyone teaches to the test so children can pass, that children are not really being educated at all and that the program might work if redesigned. The writer maintains that the evidence does show that the program does more to make schools look good to parents without actually improving education. The writer concludes that teaching to make certain students pass a standardized test does little to educate those children in how to think, and the test only gives political leaders a false belief that they are improving education and accountability when they are only adding a new layer of uncertainty and confusion.
From the Paper
"Critics of the legislation see it as a broad attack on public education in favor of federal control. The irony is that this approach comes from the Republican Party, which has long fought against any federal role in education at all, and in truth, even under the No Child Left Behind Act the party only sees value in federal control if the federal government is controlled by Republicans.
"Criticisms of the No Child Left Behind program come from several different perspectives. One group sees the program as another unfounded federal mandate, and more than 20 states and school districts across the country have objected to the regulations and with the way the program is funded. A survey in 2005 showed that almost half the stets then had testing programs in place for reading and math, but the report also showed that the number of schools cited as needing improvement had doubled over the last year."

Women Who Receive the Death Penalty, 2002.
This paper discusses the different issues that are considered when women are tried for violent crimes.

Abstract
This paper examines whether or not gender bias plays a role in the courts decisions to convict women and sentence them to death for violent crimes. In order to try to answer these questions, the paper begins by giving a brief history of capital punishment in the United States. The author also discusses some different cases where women were convicted of violent crimes and received the death penalty. The author presents the many factors that were considered when deciding on the sentencing including how gender bias affects the courts' decision when handing down sentencing and how women are often viewed as being victims, as is often the case in domestic abuse, when charged with a crime. The final issue discussed is the role that politics plays in perpetuating how women and capital cases are often dealt with in America.
From the Paper
"The case of Karla Faye Tucker has been famous. Karla had killed two people with a pickaxe in 1984. She was put on death row for fourteen years, and in that time, had claimed she found Jesus. She died by lethal injection on February 3rd, 1998. Why such a long wait? If Karla were a male, would the Supreme Court have to wait so long to prove an execution? Well, yes, actually. The courts want a long time to confirm the death sentence on a criminal so they can be precise and just. What perhaps happened to Karla was there were many pleas to free her and, since she was a woman, the court felt it should do something for her sake. For a while, no one had really paid a great deal of concentration to the gender bias until this recent case."

Receiving Constructive Feedback in Peer Review Activities, 2002.
A look at the concept of fellow students examining papers of other students, and its ramifications.

Abstract
This paper provides guidelines that will help receivers of peer review feedback accept criticisms constructively. In addition, this paper also suggests effective ways and methods for encouraging students to accept criticism gracefully. This, evidently, is more important, since it avoids and prevents the occurrence of any negative criticisms from happening.
From the Paper
"Peer Review is defined as ?the process of submitting one?s work to the judgment of another who is equally qualified? (Work 2002). Peer review activities are usually practiced in most educational institutions, and are usually conducted between students in one class. Peer review activities let students assume the role of both editors and writers. Students become editors because they are tasked to evaluate their classmate?s work, while they are also writers because they are also tasked to compose papers (which they, as editors, will evaluate). Peer reviews are often encouraged because they entail critical thinking and responsibility on the student?s part. The role of students as writers are often placed in a critical situation during peer review activities, and the relationship between the writer (receiver of the feedback) and the editor becomes crucial, since it entails understanding (on the receiver?s part) and objectivity (on the editor?s part) for peer reviews to become effective and tension- free. Writers are often evaluated in peer review activities, and students receiving unfavorable feedbacks (incorrect form or structure, or both) often face the problem of not obtaining a high grade, which leaves the writer discouraged, and often creates tension between the editor and writer."

Abstract
This paper discusses entrepreneurship and how start-up businesses find financing. It examines the business plan for a capital-generating product and discerns what sources of capital are available for the entrepreneur once he has a business plan for an entrepreneurial venture. It analyzes to what extent an entrepreneur must be willing to redo business concepts inherent in a plan, in order to obtain the needed financing. Each section of the paper is separated by profiles of two leading entrepreneurs -- Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft and Michael Dell, founder of Dell Computers.
From the Paper
"Planning is a continuous process in business management. Every business is involved in the tasks of making decisions and recording the results of business activities. Without a plan there is no meaningful way to evaluate results, thus future actions are not based on a revised plan but rather revised guessing. Operating without a plan breaks the continuous process shown above and as a result you manage by reacting to events rather than by anticipating and planning for how to maximize events."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at corporate bonds and preferred stocks, defining both types of investments, how they differ and their strengths and weaknesses. The paper examines and explains the many factors that must be considered before one can wisely make a decision regarding an investment in corporate bonds and preferred stocks, but suggests that both bonds and preferred stocks are considered relatively safe investments and provide slow, steady growth for investors. Next, the paper describes common stocks and how they work as an investment as well as the advantages and disadvantages of this type of investment. Finally, the paper takes a look at the accounts receivable and inventory aspects of financial management and explains their importance to both the management process and to investors.

Common Stocks
Accounts Receivable and Inventory
From the Paper
"Preferred stocks, a class of a company's equity, are cheaper to buy and more liquid than corporate bonds. Companies issuing preferred stocks often yield 8 percent or more. Preferred stocks are closer in kin to bonds than to common stocks. They pay a fixed dividend, their price tends to stay near their par value and they usually have no voting rights. They are called preferred stocks because they stand in line ahead of common shares when it's time to pay out dividends or liquidate the company. However, preferred stockholders do not get their dividends until the bondholders have been paid. Because of this, preferred stocks are slightly more risky than bonds issued by the same company; the stockholder is paid a little extra for assuming that risk. Large corporations and banks encourage preferred stocks."

Assessing Outsourcing, 2008.
This paper is an experiential account of the benefits and costs of outsourcing.

Abstract
This paper assesses the benefits and cost of outsourcing from the author's personal experience within an outsourced organization. Specifically, the company outsourced all accounting system IT functions including accounts payable, accounts receivable, credit and collections, and internal auditing. The author argues that the decision to outsource pays off in terms of both reduced personnel costs, reduced time taken solving relatively simple but time-consuming accounting problems, and the freeing up of financial managers' and analysts' time to work on the larger, more difficult problem of the order management system being inaccurate in the bills of material (BOMs) it is sending to production.
Outline:
Executive Summary
Costs of Outsourcing
Benefits of Outsourcing
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The subjective costs are the perceived loss of control of core accounting functions by the senior accounting managers, and the tendency to keep managing and monitoring the activities of Infosys even though the processes have been outsourced. Additional subjective costs have begun to emerge as well, including the realization our company at one point was too thinly staffed to manage the outsourcing relationship and we would actually have to hire a new project manager to manage the relationship as no one had time to do this full-time. Carrillo, L, Desronvil, K., Niven, C. (2003) report from their research on outsourcing that often companies are too thinly staffed to manage the outsourcing efforts, and this slows down the potential benefits that could be achieved. There were also the intangible costs of trying to get the Infosys culture to work with our company's culture. Infosys moves much faster than the company I work for, and that took several months for each organization to culturally get synchronized with each other. There was also a degree of ethnocentrism to an extent in the financial analysts who wondered if they were going to be outsourced as the second wave of the project, and insisted they knew the financials and company better than any outsider could."
