Ftc Case Study

A company wants to know if a product they may promote really increases muscle mass by having high levels of protein. The company suspects the supplement may contain fillers such as sugars and starches. They went to the biotech company (our lab group) to conduct the experiments that will determine what is in the supplement. We hypothesized that when tested against knowns, the unknown would be found to contain mostly starch. Once general composition of the supplement was found, the concentration was tested by adding Lugol’s iodide to the solution and then testing the absorbency

There are three important issues in regards to computer forensics: admissibility of evidence, standards (certifications), and the analysis (preservation) of evidence. The term “Validation” refers to the confirmation by examination and the provision of objective evidence that the requirements for a specific use are fulfilled whereas the term “Verification” refers to the confirmation of validation with tools, techniques, and procedures (Flandrin).

Be that as it may, expanding the similarity of principles is difficult. It can't be refined by the FASB alone; it requires collaboration and assentation among standard setters around the globe. Distinctive beginning stages, diverse business societies, diverse administrative situations, diverse budgetary reporting targets, and diverse legitimate frameworks can make it troublesome for standard setters around the globe to concede to the same bookkeeping elective. Also, an option that is seen as a change in one nation may not be seen as a change by another nation. For instance:

The conflict between the FARC and the Colombian government has been a product of the injustices inflicted on the rural populations in Colombia that can be traced back to the mid 20th century. The FARC’s original mission was to represent and defend the rural poor, but expanded into a guerrilla group involved in criminal activities, such as drug trafficking, harming civilians and occupying territory, with political and economic gains in mind. The FARC began to lose its power in the mid-2000s and engaged in peace talks with the Colombian government from 2012-2016.
