Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate (Louwers & Reynolds, 2007). We believe that the audit evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

The financial crisis of the early 2000s left many investors and stockholders nervous about the accuracy of financial statements issued by public companies. The financial crisis resulted after many previously successful companies suddenly tanked due to restatement of their financials. These companies include Enron, Tyco, Sunbeam, Rite-Aid, Xerox and WorldCom amongst others (Kieso, 2014, p. 17). How could many previously successful companies suddenly go belly-up? The evidence was to be seen, these companies had used malicious accounting techniques to hide massive amounts of debts and increase their assets without having to show them accurately in a fair and honest way on their financial statements.

Increase in the profits above the actual budget can be attributed to 20% increase in sales in 2009. Although Jean’s profits were above the actual budget, French Division’s earnings were much lower than what it could have been, had they budgeted for the actual volume of sales that they ended up selling. We can partly attribute this decrease in earnings to the fact

In the 1900s and early 2000s, the United States started the integration movement to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the health care delivery system. The integrations system was designed to introduce various strategies that healthcare organizations use to achieve the diversification in their services. However, these policies have helped the health care system to gain market share, become more diversified, reduce competition, and increase cost advantages by using existing operation to offer new products or services (Shi & Singh, 2015).

The chief executive of the company was closely working with the vendors whose confirmations were vital in the auditing work and hence they could have submitted false confirmations. The auditing firm established a national risk management program for its clients and so national reviews were done to identify the high risk items in the financial statement. The vendor allowances were particularly high but they were not documented. As such, the auditors were supposed to demand for the documentations and compare them with the real figures. It is however noted that most of the documentations received were non-standard and this could have led to a different audit report given that vendor allowances were earlier identified as a high risk area. Inventory management was found to be poor especially in the allowances for inventory reserves. The audit firm was therefore obliged to carry out a thorough evaluation of the inventory reserves and determine whether it was reasonable. The valuation was also supposed to include all classes of inventory but for the case of the company, the evaluation excluded instances where no sales had been made. Hence, this evaluation could not accurately represent the position of the inventory reserve in the company. (Waters,2003)

In John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, loneliness can be caused by race as shown in Crooks who is the only person on the ranch of color. When all the ranch workers left for the town Lennie stayed behind so he decided to walk around the ranch and he sees a man and wants to talk to him but, the man says he does not want Lennie to come in so they talk outside of his room. Lennie does not understand the idea of racism so he is different fromt the other ranch workers. Lennie starts to talk with Crooks and he says “well, I got a right to have a light, you go on get outta my room. I ain’t wanted in the bunkhouse, and you ain’t wanted in my room”(Steinbeck 68).

This report looks at the internal and external environments of Tesco, a British multinational grocery-retailer, through applying frameworks to assess strategic decisions taken by Tesco. The dynamic external environment was examined using a PESTEL analysis which highlighted key industry drivers for grocery-retail being enforcement of new labelling and regulation laws influenced by social 'healthy-eating ' trends as well as increasing focus towards convenience stores instead of hypermarkets due to consumers making larger purchases online. The Porter 's 5 Forces analysis identified high customer bargaining power due to high standardisation and low differentiation between products offered by Tesco and competitors, creating low switching-costs which led to high competitive rivalry.

Supply and Demand change frequently and Tesco 's is currently in a state of disequilibrium. There is an issue that relates to demand due to the desirability of a product, and is unlikely that income will increase enough to cause a change in the demand, therefore Tesco have to create product that are desirable.

Lady Macbeth’s pivotal role in Macbeth’s calamity is illustrated through her immorality which stemmed from her deceptiveness and manipulation of Macbeth’s thoughts, emotions and actions, leading the play to its tragic conclusion. Throughout the progression of the play, Lady Macbeth proves to be exceedingly manipulative with no qualms about achieving her ambition. She cleverly influences Macbeth by exploiting Macbeth’s vulnerability and skilfully using it as a weapon. This is apparent when she accuses him of not loving her “From this time/ Such I account thy love” and criticises him of cowardice “Art thou afeard…’; “And live a coward”. In Act 1, Scene 7, Lady Macbeth insults and humiliates Macbeth by questioning his manliness; “What beast was’t

These may be as a result of Tesco's troubles from accounting scandal that has obligated changes in its top management, a sinking share price, decreasing sales and loss of consumer confidence as consumers turn to discount rivals such as Lidl and Aldi.

PwC’s conclusion may reasonable and Campbell’s practice may not have a material effect on Campbell’s operating results, but it still causes a misrepresenting report. An auditor should express a explanation on the audit opinion.
