Q1. I classified the following controls based on what I read in appendix 1. For IT General Control, it talks to controls that are set in place so that a client's IT system operates correctly. These controls primarily focus on ensuring that changes to applications are properly authorized, tested, and approved before they are implemented and that only authorized persons and applications have access to data, and then only to perform specifically defined functions. Because of this, the physical access to the server room has been classified as an IT General Control. For Application Control, it talks more to automated controls that apply to the processing of individual transactions. They include such controls as edit checks, validations, …show more content…
Someone could have piggybacked into the system and is using this access illegally. This is essential in maintaining proper security of a company’s IT system as it could allow breaches to take place or even disgruntled employees a chance to log back in to the system. The proper firewalls and security policies need to be in place to avoid potential scenarios like this. The second suspicious transaction is an exact duplicate of another. This is from a breakdown in IT Dependent Manual Control and not having the proper checks taking place to alleviate duplicates. The IT system can only do so much. If a valid sales order is entered, it will accept it. This is where the manual oversight comes in and realizes the error after looking over the computer generated data and then can be excluded if need be. I am surprised that this happened though as the sales order number is identical and it still allowed for the transaction to appear unless this was the case of a system refresh. This also ties into Application Control, as these transactions did have a valid sales order number but it needs to take it a step further and have safe guards in place to not allow for two of the same sales order numbers to be generated, whether it was by user error or system error, this could have been avoided. The third and fourth suspicious transactions are two transactions that correspond to a sales person ID that is not on the current sales team. While this could be from
The case describes that, "...the accounting system could not be locked at the end of the month and there was no audit trail. Sachdeva and Mulvaney were thus able to make undetected post-closing changes to the books and bypass an internal control requiring Michael J. Koss to authorize those changes". These post-closing changes may be false entries done to hide theft during the accounting period. Further, because the reconciliations were done by the same people who initiated or recorded the transactions, the fraud could be covered up. For example, had one of them made an unauthorized purchase at a retail store where the expense were obviously not business related, they could have assigned the expense or expense description to a vendor where the transaction amount would have been normal. If the accounting system was not locked, they could have also just posted the transaction date back to a prior period that isn't likely to be reviewed.
* “…regularly sent and received wire transfers to and from other countries…transactions were always below the limit that triggered the bank’s reporting requirements.”

The applicants are morally correct as long as their action promotes their long term interest. If their action produces or will produce for them a greater outcome of good, versus evil in the long hall than any other alternative, than that action is the right one to act on, and the individual should take that to be a moral act.

Garcia and Licata took a number of old invoices and issued checks in the invoice amount, subsequently cashing the checks and splitting the amount between themselves. DeLoach soon after joined them and deposited a number of checks, issued by Licata, into various personal accounts throughout Miami. DeLoach used the funds from the fraudulent checks to write checks to Garcia and Licata (Barnett, 2007).
As soon as we were notified of the fraudulent transactions my security team, along with the network engineers, performed a thorough investigation of how such attack had occurred. Once we were able to view all logs and audit data it came to our attention that the data did not appear to be stolen from our network. All transactions performed were done so with the appropriate credentials.
Formal user access control procedures must be documented, implemented and kept up to date for each application and information system to ensure authorised user access and to prevent unauthorised access. They must cover all stages of the lifecycle of user access, from the initial registration of new users to the final de-registration of users who no longer require access. These must be agreed by IDI. User access rights must be reviewed at regular intervals to ensure that the appropriate rights are still allocated. System administration accounts must only be provided to users that are required to perform system administration tasks.
The next step is to look at all the canceled checks and see if anyone else is involved in the fraud. Also see if any checks were signed over to a different account.

The focus of this paper is case management. Case management has evolved into a diverse profession which includes many disciplines and is exercised in many settings. Case management involves the process of coordinating multiple services on behalf of clients and has been practiced now for several decades. Many disciplines have engaged in case management and identify themselves as case managers. Case managers work with many populations and settings and play an important role in today’s society. The following analysis explores how case management developed, how it is defined, its components, and how it relates to other nursing care delivery models. All these aspects are reviewed with the purpose to show the importance of case management
