When carrying out an audit, it would be a tall order for the auditor to go through all the company’s transactions as recorded in the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of financial position. Therefore, they must consider utilizing the risk-based approach which ensures a more efficient audit process by considering the level of audit risk. Audit risk denotes the event that the auditor will present the wrong opinion due to a misstatement in the company’s financial misstatements (Demartini & Trucco, 2016, p. 329). This is accelerated when there are business risks that the auditor is not adequately aware of and, thus, fails to include it in their audit assessment. Business risks include lowered profitability, loss of customers, increased production cost, the rise in competition levels and fraud and theft among others.

Marketing, Case Study, and SLP Discussion Marketing is a fundamental process both in organizational and personal settings. Marketing ensures that an individual or an organization creates awareness of their competencies, skills, and value they can offer. In particular, in an organization setting, marketing entails creating, maintaining, and enhancing relationships with customers and other partners in a bid to achieve mutual exchange and fulfillment of promises. In support of this assertion, Iyamabo and Otujambo (2013) recognize marketing as an act of maintaining and sustaining a lasting relationship between the firm and the customers that are rewarding to both sides. The achievability of this paradigm is underpinned by the definition of marketing that encompasses the aspects of creating, communicating, and delivering value to the customers in a manner that espouses mutual satisfaction (Wilkie & Moore, 2007). Therefore, marketing entails mutual dependence in terms of creation and sharing value in a way that facilitates achievement between the organization and the customer. Traditionally, marketing was considered a business activity, but nowadays, it can be done on a personal level. Illustratively, a Toyota car retail…

David Wallace-Wells David Wallace-Wells established the purpose of this piece in the first paragraph, the first line of the book. “It is, I promise, worse than you think… You are barely searching the surface of what terrors are possible”. Wallace-Wells’ aim at analyzing tribulations that people face due to climate change. Wallace-Wells established his audience based on disasters and the effects that the intended people are likely to face. For instance, ancient diseases that have re-evolved due to global warming, malaria in this case, will interfere with the unwavering ecosystem and trespass the disease to humans beyond the limits. the author uses “you” and “we” to address the audience to show inclusivity in that no one is excluded from the adversity of global warming. His purpose of switching between the two is that he is very particular in the audience he is addressing. He chose the audience to warn them of the encroaching danger likely to affect them. Hence they are not excluded from the threat. Wallace-Wells assumes that the audience does not know that global warming is likely to…
Crisis Intervention Theory The utilization of theories and models in social work has become a critical element of the profession. Understandably, social work is a scientific field that deals with problem-solving in human relationships. As such, the utilization of crisis intervention theory in dealing with human behavior during stressful moments is essential in ensuring there is complete healing and sustained emotional balance.

Such psychological reactions can be short term, and hence they can be relieved with time-based on the techniques applied to curb the behavioral changes. Specifically, the expanded crisis theory focuses on the environmental, social, and situational facts of the crisis. In contrast, applied crisis theory encompasses domains such as usual development crises, situational, existential, and ecosystemic crises. Crisis intervention theory canbe traced to the initial authorship of Erich Lindeman, who was a German psychiatrist majoring in crisis intervention. Erich authored a paper on crisis intervention following the bereavement in the aftermath of a cocoanut night club fire that killed approximately 500 people. The…
Liberty Challenged in Nineteenth-Century America When the Treaty of Paris got signed in 1783, many Americans, especially the slaves, may have thought that a significant change had arrived. The nation had participated in the slave trade for more than a century. It had directly witnessed both the advantages and disadvantages of the institution. Others may have thought that for the first time, the nation was ready to embrace peace and unity, moving away from divisive politics and creating a healthy economy for all. However, the treaty failed to end slavery and set into motion a crisis on the institution that would eventually divide the young nation into two, as evidenced by the secession and the eventuality of the Civil war that pitted the Union against the Confederacy. Additionally, the Missouri compromise, the Dred Scott decision, and the three-fifths compromise challenged the need to abolish slavery as an institution and only created space for a divided nation. The Missouri compromise of 1820 failed to address the state of slaves amicably since many stakeholders viewed it as unconstitutional. Both the North and…
Global water crisis Water is a prerequisite to all human activities. It is critical for sustainable development and social-economic development, as well as the survival of human beings. It serves as an essential link between the surroundings and the society. As the global population elevates, the need for water rises with the same magnitude, and thus the need to balance all the demands on water resources to ensure the societal needs are taken care of (Jury & Vaux Jr, 2007). For instance, women and girls require access to clean and safe water to manage menstruation and maternity safely and with dignity. However, according to FAO, over eight hundred million people lack access to necessary drinking water representing a ratio of 1:10 globally. This means more than one person in every ten, requires access to basic cleaning water. Globally, women and girls spend more than two hundred million hours in search of water daily. For instance, in Africa, an average woman walks close to six kilometers in search of water to cater for their daily needs. Roughly ninety percent of…
