    The payroll procedures at the Galena plant do contain some shortcomings. The first one is that the supervisors in the production department are not approving actual hours. Another one found is that payroll clerk seems to be in charge of most duties, which clearly signifies a lack of segregation of duties. Finally, the employee from the personnel department should not be the one to have access to the payroll checks and hold them until time for delivery.…

    The Shareholders are going to be interested in the financial health of the company so it will be important to focus on profit ratios and return on investments. When evaluating a company’s financial health it is important to evaluate all positive and negative financial instances. When I meet with the design crew, investors, and CEO I will suggest that we paint an honest picture of our financial health. In accordance with the SEC and Sox act, it is our fiduciary responsibility to divulge all financial information even if it is negative. With that being said it is also a good idea to elaborate on the good points. We have seen some dives in our profit outputs but it will be important to highlight what caused the decline. Our investments and expansion plan will outline how our profits should rebound and increase in the years to come. Points like the capital structure, liquidity, strengths, weaknesses, plans to improve in the future, and profit ratios compared to industry averages are all important topics to consider when presenting an annual report to stakeholders (Fraser & Ormiston 2007).…

    The International Accounting Standards Committee was formed in 1973. This committee was the first international standard-setting body. In early 2001, this Committee was reorganized and became the the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to independently develop and establish a single set of accounting procedures for international business. Since the reorganization of the IASB, the use of these international financial reporting standards (IFRSs) have been required or permitted in over 100 countries, including the European Union ("What Have IASB And FASB Convergence Efforts Achieved?", 2013). The IASB aims to make the entire world follow guidelines for financial reporting to make use and comparability of financial reports more consistent across all geographical areas.…
