Tom Emory is an administrator at Ferguson & Son Manufacturing Company’s. Tom Emory spoke: “Boy, I hate those meetings! I never know whether my department 's accounting reports will show good or bad performance. I 'm beginning to expect the worst. If the accountants say I saved the company a dollar, I 'm called ‘Sir,’ but if I spend even a little too much—boy, do I get in trouble. I don 't know if I can hold on until I retire.”
This statement is a problem an administrator should never go into a meeting in the blind of his departments’ performance. This doesn’t say much for him as an administrator.

The Auditor, an instructional novella written by James K.

I am the Director of Human Resources of Lehigh Hanson. In order to ensure the organization remains successful we have to make sure we hire the right people for the organization. In this review we will outline a job interview process and document the methods that we must use to select the right person for the available positions. We will determine at least two employment laws that we must consider in the process questions and examine the key ramifications of the organization’s lack of enforcement of said laws. The organization must predict three issues that we may encounter in building relationships with each type of worker.
Overall Strength: in general, the article provides structure to a concept that is very intangible by: (a) describing the nature and the functions of control; (b) segregating the MCS into categories: core control system, organizational structure, and organizational culture; (c) illustrating how to apply the control model (satisfied my approach) (d) provides a basis for designing and evaluating the system. The manner, in which the model is presented, with its use of figures, further emphasizes the structure of the model. See below on further emphasis on parts (a) -(c).

On an overcast afternoon in Portland, Oregon, on Friday, March 28, 2003, Richard Okumoto intently studied a set of hard-copy accounting documents called “adjusting journal entries” spread out on his desk. He had been appointed chief financial officer (CFO) of Electro Scientific Industries, Inc. (ESI), a multi-million dollar equipment manufacturer, just a few weeks earlier. Okumoto was in the midst of closing the company’s books for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003, which ended February 28.

As the Human Resource Manager of Coolsworth Limited, I am proud of our great reputation in the retail industry. However, as the HR manager, I have a number of roles and responsibilities. One of these roles is to ensure that staff and management are aware of the company policy and government legislation regarding the ageing workforce. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) of 1967 defined the "ageing workforce" as working individuals who are 40 years of age or older (Bockman, S. & Barbara, S., 2008). Australia’s population and workforce are ageing due to the combined impact of lower fertility rates, lower infant mortality and a large number of births in the post-World War II period. Thus, resulting in a larger amount of older workers, than ever before this trend is expected to continue for several decades (Chandler Macleod, 2016).

I started out as the Selling Business Manager for Clinique in Texarkana store #437. I fought to make that counter hit a million. We achieved the million the first year I was there and continued to reach the million every year after. Now I am the selling business manager for Park Plaza store #405, which is the largest volume Clinique counter in Dillard’s Department Stores, year to date. My team has also held on to having the highest/best service indicators in Dillard’s for the past three years. I had to make many adjustments moving from a million dollar counter to an almost two million dollar counter. Time management is critical at a counter of this magnitude. I had to come up with a strategic plan to insure my business continued to run flawlessly. I quickly realized that my clientele here at Park Plaza was much different than my clients in Texarkana and so I adjusted just as quickly. I had to plan all administrative tasks for the beginning of the week, and book my appointments for later in the day or week, which this new clients actually prefers because they are also on a busy time schedule. Also here at Park Plaza I have made amazing connections with many of my clients. One specific client Ginger McCorkle is a teacher at the Arkansas School for the Deal and Visually Impaired, we immediately hit is off, got to know one another and Ginger became one of my favorite clients. Recently, Ginger and I planned an outsource, at her school for Teacher Appreciation
