A Business Continuity Plan outlines how the business will continue operations if there is an unplanned disruption in services, and assist businesses to overcome any future challenges. Many organizations never provisioned for a pandemic in their BCP. At the beginning of the pandemic, banks needed to determine how best they could serve their customers in the safest way possible. Where possible, Capital One Bank allowed and continues to allow employees to work from home. The work-from-home infrastructure needed to be developed with sufficient flexibility and controls where the company’s business continues, and that employees remain productive. Normal operations that are usually done face-to-face can be aided by technological advancements. In addition to the work-from-home environment and supporting infrastructure,…
The auditor worked for this client for years. But before accepting or continuing with the client, What are the reasons the auditor or audit firm should or should not retain this existing client this time around using the information below about the client? What risks could the client, its business, and its environment pose to the auditor or audit firm? The client: Although client cash flows have been stable, the disruption caused by the 2020 global pandemic made it difficult for retail lessors to pay their rent on time.

However, they estimate that they will receive all the lost cash flow from these tenants within a couple of years. Currently, the company is a…

In what sense might a financial manager be seen as "more ethical" if he or she follows this directive and issues a press release indicating that sales will not be as high as previously anticipated? A manager at a "Check Into Cash" business (see Focus on Ethics box on page 192) defends his business practice as simply "charging what the market will bear." "After all," says the manager, "we don't force people to come in the door." How would you respond to this ethical defense of the payday-advance business?

Specifically, PKD is heavily involved in E-business, and its internal information systems are tightly interlinked with its key customers’ systems. The CFO has estimated that every hour of system downtime will cost the company about $10,000 in sales. The CFO and CIO have further estimated that if the system were to fail, the average downtime would be one hour per incident. They have anticipated that PKD will likely experience 50 downtime incidents in a given year due to internal computer system problems and another 50 incidents per year due to external problems—specifically, system failures with the Internet service provider (ISP).

The CEO is, however, concerned about the potential disruption that the implementation will have on operations. In an announcement letter to Baker’s employees, the CEO stated that: “I have contracted Flybynight Consulting Group to do the needs analysis, system selection, and design work.

This promises to be an efficient process that will produce a system that will be appreciated by all users.” Required: Draft a memo from George…
