3. Service users were not treated with respect and never encouraged to be empowered in any areas.

AU Section 316 of Statement of Accounting Standards (SAS) No. 99 discusses what things an auditor should consider regarding fraud as part of an audit engagement. As part of this, AU §316.19a states “make inquiries of management and others within the entity to obtain their view about the risks of fraud and how they are addressed”, or interview those in positions to have knowledge about how various items are reported as part of an entity’s financial statements and corresponding disclosures. But are accounting programs providing graduates with the classroom content and experiential experiences to develop the interviewing skills necessary for success in the accounting profession? Currently, with rare exception, it does not appear so.
Sue works for a company called X-Pest Pty Ltd. One day Sue walked into the lunchroom of the business. In the lunchroom was a number of male and female staff that were looking at the latest Queensland Netball Team calendar called “Chicks of Netball”. The players in the calendar were semi-naked. As Sue walked into the room, Bruce, who knew Sue was very shy around men, was pinning up Miss October on the staffroom fridge. As Sue came over Bruce looked her up and down, and then looked at the calendar, and, confident he could humiliate Sue, said in a loud voice so that everyone could hear, “Too bad we don’t have any real chicks working here like the ones in the calendar. All we

Dating back throughout history woman were often considered to be too soft or docile to work.

Because peoples heritage is part of their culture. The more you understand about it the more you understand the person and the reason they do some of the things they do. You have a heritage and it is why you were brought up with the beliefs and standards. You want people to respect that, so you should give the same respect. It’s also a part of history which has helped us evolve throughout this world. You may not like it or agree with it, but you should at least learn a bit about it before you make a decision and still respect it.

During the Anglo-Saxon Era, there were many armies battling each other. These battles were documented and later made into stories. As we read some of these stories, we can see that some weapons are explained with much detail. That is because weapons back then were very unique to their owner. The weapons used during Anglo-Saxon literature depended on the wealth of the soldier, the proximity of the enemy, and the strength of the enemy.
Women and men have had certain roles in society that were understood amongst them to be specified for their particular gender. Males were known to have the leading role as head of the house hold and the bread winner while the woman’s duty was to stay at home and take care of the house and children. While many people years ago deemed this way of life and practice to be the right and ethical thing to do, times have changed and so this kind of treatment towards a woman’s equality must be questioned. Even though times have changed, this mindset of a woman’s ability to be as good as a man has not completely gone away. In today’s society a woman contributes to the economy and her family as equally as that of a man. Therefore, women should share equal rights and opportunities as their gender counterparts.
In Everyday injustices for working women: The slights add up website, even though today women have the freedom of association and press, men are feeling less powerful than women at work. When women present problems are an issue at work, they are seen weak and not a strong person who wants to find solutions to the conflict. Although, when men present their problems, they are seen strong, uptight person who is able to take charge to find a solution not like the women. Unfortunately, women are not accredited for their hard
The Sex Discrimination Act 1984 was enacted for the purpose of giving effect to the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women and prohibiting discrimination on the grounds of sex, marital status or pregnancy in areas including education, accommodation and provision services (Strachan & French, 2007). Furthermore, the legislation promoted recognition and acceptance of the principle of equality of men and women within the community. Additionally, the removal of discriminatory barriers has designed and ‘encouraged’ a change in treatment of women in recruitment, retirement, dismissal and termination. As a result, social behaviour modifies through the setup of rules that ‘employers must not discriminate’ through the enforcement of law (Strachan & French, 2007).
Women have experienced a historic situation of inequality in the social as well as professional aspects. Women were normally the ones that would take care of children, do the chores in the house, and in rural areas; they would work in the field with the rest of the family. However, today’s women have become more self-sufficient and independent from the predominant male figure within every historical family. Gender inequality in the workplace is becoming less common; yet, gender is a factor that affects men and women. Especially women have been subjected to a historical discrimination that has influenced society to decide which job is more suitable for women than men. However women have confronted and tried to break down the barriers that
These laws were written in response to a number of cases where employees, particularly female employees, were made to feel uncomfortable in the workplace by harassment of a sexual nature. This type of conduct was discouraging women from entering the work force.

Furthermore, the element of unlawful harassment is described broadly.
