First I would need to review the previous controller’s closing process to determine areas that need improving. Next I would document every step of the closing process this will help itemize the nature of each task, who completes it, the time required to complete it, and any queue times that appear when a task is shifted to a different person within the process. I would also consider shifting work outside the period traditionally reserved for closing activities. I would review the closing activities to determine which ones could be shifted to the previous months and which ones can be delayed until after close. Implementing automation can also shorten the closing process. For example, a data warehouse can be constructed to extract and consolidate data from various computer systems or a workflow management system can be used to coordinate activities across several offices such as who works on what activity and how long it takes them to complete a task. Another way to shorten the close process is to centralize all accounting operations in one location. This allows the company to concentrate all of its efforts on improving the efficiency of a single …show more content…
A spend analysis evaluates spending to keep costs down. The advantages of a spend analysis is that it contains detailed files on what a company buys, how much they spend, and who they buy from. By conducting a spend analysis the controller can consolidate purchases in order to increase buying volume with a smaller number of preferred suppliers. Although this analysis can be used to reduce cost it does have one disadvantage. Spend analysis do not account for nonfinancial questions behind purchasing decisions. Such as why does a company work with one supplier versus another or is it more beneficial to the company to use a higher price supplier to guarantee higher quality. Higher quality products and supplies can generally help reduce
At the beginning of round one we had only one product available which was cake. As a company, we decided it would be best to move cake into the low-tech segment on the perceptual map. In order to do that we needed to make adjustments to the performance and size category. The performance was a little low from where we were wanting it. The first step we took to move its position was by increasing the performance from 6.4 to 6.9.
For each table: 1) Obtain the timestamp. 2) Call the service retrieve patient data, update all changes after comparing the timestamp. 3) After patient’s personal information, exercise and the requirements are downloaded comparing the timestamp. Loop through all the records; if data already exists, update it, else insert it. 4) Patients Last visited information and the recorded information are posted back to the server only if a field completed is false.
Question # 1: Part A How many electrons and protons in an atom of vanadium? Answer # 1: Atomic number = number of protons = 23 Mass number = number of protons + neutrons Mass number = 51 g/mole Number of neutrons = 51-23 Number of Neutrons = 28 Number of electrons = atomic number = 23 Question
Lab 7: Moon Phases was designed to measure the relative position of the Sun and Moon over the course of one phase cycle (i.e. one month, 29.5 days) The idea for Lab 7: Moon Phases was to examine how the illumination of the moon by the Sun produces the different phase cycles we see as the Moon rotates around Earth and as the Earth rotates around the Sun. The observations of the Moon were taken on four different days in the month of February to March capturing four different Moon Phases.
Osk.exe not working error in windows 8 must not be ignored and this is because the file remains responsible for Accessibility On-Screen Keyboard in Windows Systems. In fact, the error which is generated is primarily in the numerical data format. It is important that you take steps to rectify the same as many annoying error message pop-ups might be generated and slow down your PC considerably. Further, there remains ample scope for system freeze and blue screen of death (BSOD) issues happening as well.
1. 1. Data scrubbing is which of the following? A. A process to reject data from the data warehouse and to create the necessary indexes B.
6-1. Examples of organizations that could have information silos could be a local restaurant and a chain restaurant. Both probably have information silos if they have a database for each area of work. This could happen if each area doesn 't have a way to communicate their data to the others, which causes problems in the business system running smoothly. For the local store, an EAI would probably be the best because it is for smaller businesses and would disrupt business for a shorter period of time.
HTTP & TCP Input & Output In this simple java program, I inputted an HTTP URL for a website, and when the program is run, it returns HTTP data for the specified website. In terms of TCP/IP model, this HTTP request would fit under the application layer, as I am using an interface to exchange data through a network. More specifically, as the data exchange is utilizing the HTTP protocol, and sends the data through port 80. Here, I am using a very simple java TCP server and client.
After compiling all of the ingredients into a numbered list, I find out that every product “purchased” at Harris Teeter would account for $116.19 over the budget. The few adjustments I made to my shopping list beforehand did not help reduce the total to a reasonable price either. While I was going through all of the products at home, I crossed out a few unnecessary items that were optional or switched to products with a lower price just to see if I could be within the budget. Eventually, after I was done “shopping” and tallying up all of the prices, the cost still exceeded the price that I calculated in my head. As I went down the aisles searching for foods on my grocery list, I kept a close eye out for products that had nutritious labels such as organic, fresh, or low in sodium so that the college student I chose could receive the right amount of nutrients needed for a healthy lifestyle.
The focus of this section, will be collection and analysis of the data for the two RQs. First, I will state the needed data for each RQ, potential sources and process of analyzing it. For instance, estimation of desertified area or ESAs (Environmentally Sensitivity Areas) (11) for each year –1994, 2004 and 2014 – will be based on four indicators (NDVI, Albedo, Soil moisture and Sand dunes). The selection of these indicators based on many studies. For instance, the selection of the best indicators to monitor and assess the desertification in arid and semiarid region seen a lot of evolution.
With widespread use of internet services, the network scale is expanding on daily basis and as the network scale increases so will the scale of security threats which can be applied to system connected to the network. Viruses and Intrusions are amongst most common threats that affects computer systems. Virus attacks can be controlled by proper antivirus installation and by keeping the antivirus up to date. Whereas any unauthorized access in the computer system by an intruder can be termed as Intrusion and controlled by IDS. Intruders can be grouped into two major categories which are external and internal Intruders.
The objective of this piece was to create something meaningful to me, that will flow together well by using audio files. I’m a huge fan of the piano, so I knew that I wanted to incorporate a piano in the piece. Surprising enough the main part of the whole piece is the pinaoloop2 on a loop. The work process for this piece primarily involved getting the audio samples that will work nicely around my main piece which is the pianoloop2. After obtaining the audio files, the major software that I use to get the sounds together was Audacity.

Additionally, operations are often conducted away from the office, or in austere environments utilizing mobile broadband and laptop computer. Having access to the organizations data in an organized efficient manner is essential. Finally, a centralized knowledge management system allows organizations to share and collaborate much
