An “audit failure” is a situation in which a professional auditor fails to detect a material error in the financial statements of the company they are auditing. The audit failure in the situation of Rita Crundwell the failure was exacerbated by the fact that the auditors continually signed off on the misstated statements for years. Crundwell is responsible for many of the deficiencies mentioned, such as the missing funds and the incorrect invoices. However, she is not the sole person responsible for this fraud. The lack of internal control is to blame, and this cannot be placed on a single person. The government should have separated duties and used

“The record of the present Democratic Administration has provided us with sufficient campaign issues without the necessity of resorting to political smears.” She uses the title of the DA not only to show the changes that need to be made but who in particular need to make them. “The Democratic Administration has completely confused the American people by its daily contradictory grave warnings and optimistic assurances.” This device again, is melded with the contrast that she uses often to show contradictions. “Freedom of speech is not what it used to be in America. It has been so abused by some that it is not exercised by

The meeting continued with board member Jason Hopp presenting Dr. Matthew Flannery, formerly the principal of Shiloh Hills Elementary School, for a roll call vote to approve him as the new Assistant Superintendent of the WIlson School District. Mr. Hopp spoke for approximately two minutes about the credentials, reputation, and record of quality performance that Dr. Flannery has documented during his time with the district.

It may be worth observing that Mr. Martin is known as the “no man” of the current board, and often tows one of the more conservative lines of all board members. One can speculate that he may have felt

The article, “Who benefits from failing urban school districts?” written by Martin Haberman, the authors influential piece expresses the concern for the current direction of public education. When the concept of who is benefiting from failing urban school districts is mentioned; one would believe that no one can possibly benefit from schools failing. The children aren’t benefiting, their parents aren’t benefiting, the community isn’t benefiting. The public institution is becoming a big business instead of an institution that helps children in their development. It is obvious that there are challenges in the schooling system. In this manuscript, I will discuss the issues with the bureaucracy in education. There will also be mentioning of how standardized testing and the lack of resources in urban schools are affecting children’s education in the urban community. Lastly, there will be a discussion about how parents and teachers have an effect on children’s education.

Analysis: Throughout her article, Strauss uses statements from well-appointed people such as the National Education Association President Lily Eskelsen García, Madison City Schools Superintendent Robby Parker, and Stephen Mucher. These quoted statements provide a huge boost of ethos that convinces the audience that Strauss is a credible author. This credibility is desperately need because throughout the entire article, Strauss never includes a counter claim or considers the opposing view point. By failing to even mention the opposing viewpoint, Strauss weakens her argument. Regardless of failing to include a counterclaim,

Every school district has board meetings throughout the school year. Unfortunately, many parents, community members, & school personnel do not attend such important meetings because they don’t realize or understand the importance of such board meetings or how informative they can be.

The Power of Their Ideas is a collection of journal entries and essays by former New York City principal, Deborah Meier, who successfully created an alternative public school program. Long before the current school reform movement began Deborah Meier invested her heart and soul into creating a school environment that continues to foster to the whole child. For her, hearing the self-confident voices of children was a reminder that they are all-alike and are indeed capable of generating powerful ideas. With this as a mantra she has not only sought to build the individual student but the community as a whole.
