    Northern Frontier Parks

    1. After reading the case, I would say that the engagement risk the auditors are facing is fairly high. Up until 1999, George Newton, the current CEO/CFO of Northern Frontier Parks, Inc., was responsible for creating the financial statements, which were not being audited or reviewed by anybody. This is an issue because without an audit, there is no way to ensure the company’s financials are being correctly stated. George Newton wanted to base the purchase price of the shares on a multiple of net income, which is concerning because he could’ve been fraudulently reporting the financials of NFP in order to set a favorable price for himself since nobody was auditing his work.…

    A Sand County Almanac Summary

    Coastlines have a special place in history and they are disappearing the most rapidly. He talks about how National Parks and Forests need to be handled with care since there are a limited supply left, for the people to view. Early and recent developments like the fishing resort and the separation of National Forest from State forest in Minnesota, have threatened the disintegration of some areas. Tourist roads and public highways move in on federal areas reserved for the beautiful views, and are starting to take over. The author talks about how during war times the shortage of lumber was a gateway for new roads to clear out the trees, but now ski-resorts are built where wilderness use to reside. He also states that Canada and Alaska have wilderness areas that have never been named and should stay like that as long as possible. Wilderness for recreation has annihilated numerous acres of wilderness for games and athletic sports. In the early days wilderness was only used to…

    Teddy Roosevelt Dbq Progressive or Conformist

In one of his speeches he said "those lumber companies…have desired to get possession of the valuable timber of the public domain, to skin the land, and to abandon it when impoverished well-nigh to the point of worthlessness" He later says that because of this reason, forest reserves are needed and only the government can deal with this specific issue. (Document A) Roosevelt also created the first national bird reserve on Pelican Island in Florida. Roosevelt also greatly contributed to this cause, in fact more then any other president before him by setting aside 194 million acres for national parks and nature preserves.

    Why Wilderness

    In his speech “Why Wilderness?”, Roderick Frazier Nash uses his power of persuasion, knowledge, and personal belief to convey how essential our wilderness is. He is trying to accomplish two things; persuading the reader that wilderness is important enough to put forth an effort into preserving it, and present to the (already pro-wilderness) audience how he believes they should do so. By contrasting the past and present of our wilderness and what we have and haven’t done to keep it, Nash suggests that we are not currently on the correct path. Nash does an excellent job of proving to the reader and the audience that change is in order without bombarding them with negativity.…

    National Park

    After the dramatic battle of the Civil War, Pea Ridge National Military Park (PRNMP) was established in honor to those that fought in 1862. With just 4,300 acres where this significant battlefield takes place, people can visit this enormous park that is open every day. PRNMP has beautiful features where visitors can enjoy and have a pleasant visit because this park still preserves some of the things that were actually used in battle like cannons and rifles. The park also serves as an educational teaching for kids to know about the Civil War that was occurring in 1862, and the battle that soldiers were fighting persistently to win over Missouri’s destiny. But what it makes this state park so known by visitors are the museum, nature, and outdoor activities.…
