900 word accounting paper 1

900 word paper – Reference excluded, No PLAGIARISM, NO OVERDUE, No English GRAMMAR and SPELLING ERRORS

******************

What is a Signature Assignment?

A signature assignment is designed to align with specific program student learning outcome(s) for a program. Program Student Learning Outcomes are broad statements that describe what students should know and be able to do upon completion of their degree. The signature assignments are graded with an automated rubric that allows the University to collect data that can be aggregated across a location or college/school and used for program improvements.

Write a 900 word paper –

Your client, Cascade Company, is planning to invest some of its excess cash in 5-year revenue bonds issued by the county and in the stock of one of its suppliers, Teton Co. Teton’s shares trade on the over-the-counter market. The company would like you to conduct some research on the accounting for these investments.

Instructions:

Review the FASB Codification Student Instructions.

Provide Codification references for your responses below.

Incorporate your review of the FASB link to determine when the fair value of a security “readily determinable”.

Since the Teton shares do not trade on one of the large stock markets, Cascade argues that the fair value of this investment is not readily available.

Describe how an impairment of a security is accounted for.

Determine how close to maturity Cascade could sell an investment and still classify it as held-to-maturity.

To avoid volatility in their financial statements due to fair value adjustments, Cascade debated whether the bond investment could be classified as held-to-maturity; Cascade is pretty sure it will hold the bonds for five years.

List disclosures that must be made for any sale or transfer from securities classified as held-to-maturity.

Format your paper consistent with APA standards.

i need help responding to a discussion question

This is my original post

Describe and explain three (3) types of data and documentations needed for creating a supply strategy plan or for updating an existing supply strategic plan.

Three types of data and documentation that is needed for creating a supply strategy plan or updating an existing supply strategy plan is cost-reduction strategies, environmental-change strategies, and risk-management strategies. Cost reduction strategies can be developed by tracking and researching a purchase and product in and product out patterns. Environmental change strategies can be created and updated by analyzing and examining environmental regulation and policy. Risk management strategies can be designed with the tracking of issues and risk and the methods used to mitigate them.

Explain why these data and documentations are particularly important and crucial.

The importance of this information is that the data can be used to generate and business plan and model to operate and efficient company. The method also sets the bar for how the company will perform. A company needs to have a set policies and processes in place to be able to manage cost effectively.

•Explain how risks could be reduced and/or managed by integrating these data and documentation collected for your organization or based on your experiences.

Reducing risk begins with risk identification. Early detection, reporting, and mitigation are the key to reducing risk. With every project, there is always a risk of the unknowns. Not every risk can be prevented, but knowing how to report it immediately while having a plan in place to resolve the issue is crucial to the success of the project.

Professor Post to me

Torreah,

What are some examples of things that you would leverage each of the strategies you listed in order to craft your procurement strategy? What are your thoughts in reference to using the organization’s mission and vision to influence your procurement strategy?

What is a cost reduction strategy? How is it important as it relates to ensuring your supply strategy supports it? Other than technologies, what other things fall under the cost reduction strategy? How does the supply strategy enhance an organization’s ability to reduce cost?

Prof

My Post to his question

Hello! Professor Lodge

What are some examples of things that you would leverage each of the strategies you listed in order to craft your procurement strategy?

Some of the things that I would leverage to craft the procurement strategy includes projected risks and opportunities, the funding and budgets and also the timelines for procurement among other small aspects.

What are your thoughts in reference to using the organization’s mission and vision to influence your procurement strategy?

It is necessary to apply the organization mission and vision to influence the procurement strategy because they help to guide the organization towards the right direction. The mission and vision are also essential because they ensure that the organization operations are aimed towards achieving the goals of the organization.

What is a cost reduction strategy?

Cost reduction strategies are the measures that organizations can take to reduce the cost of operation and increase the productivity of the organization at some given time.

How is it important as it relates to ensuring your supply strategy supports it?

The cost reduction strategies are important because they increase the productivity and profitability of the organization. It, therefore, enables the company to grow and develop as it attracts more sales as well as customers to the organization.

Other than technologies, what other things fall under the cost reduction strategy?

Apart from technology, other numerous things fall under the cost reduction strategy, and they include supply chain management, safety performance, corrective and protective action management as well as quality improvement.

How does the supply strategy enhance an organization’s ability to reduce cost?

The supply strategy enhances the organization’s ability to reduce cost by evaluating the cost benefits trade-offs and also leveraging the main competencies of the organization as a strategy of achieving the main objectives and goals of the business. In most cases, cost reduction is the main goal of the organizations because it helps to increase productivity in the organization.


Student post to me, in which I need to respond back to her

Thanks so much for your post. In reviewing your overall assessment, I concur with your overall strategies, and can relate to two of the strategies that you mentioned, the cost-reduction strategy as well as, the risk-management strategy, as I believe these two strategies are utilized often in organizations. In my opinion, the environmental change strategy that you mentioned can also be effective when it comes to measuring data, and getting results in regards to environmental regulations and policies. Can you shed some light on the tools that are needed for this strategy or how a professional in the Supply Management field would go about utilizing this particular strategy in the workplace? In my experience the well-oiled company, utilize procurement and bench-marking strategies like you suggested to set company policies and procedures, as well as, shape their organization’s business model.

I look forward to your feedback!

Thanks in advance for the discussion,

Student

introduction to packet capture and intrusion detection prevention systems

Please use templates provided in files…….

Network traffic analysis and monitoring helps to distinguish legitimate traffic from malicious traffic that could potentially harm the network. Network administrators need to fortify the network from unwanted intrusions, using tools and techniques that use past traffic data to determine what is allowed or what should be blocked in current and future network operations. The challenge is to keep up network traffic analysis and monitoring technologies, and intrusion detection technologies, with the ever-morphing threats continuously attempting to exploit network vulnerabilities.

In this project, you will use monitoring technologies Wireshark and Snort in the Workspace virtual machine to compile a malicious network activity report for financial institutions and a bulletin to a financial services consortium. The report should be eight to 10 pages double-spaced with citations in APA format. The bulletin should be one to two pages double-spaced.

There are eight steps to complete the project. Most steps of this project should take no more than two hours to complete

Step 1: Create a Network Architecture Overview

You travel to the banks’ locations and gain access to their network operations. They use Wireshark to analyze the packets traveling their networks. Read this Wireshark resource to learn more about the tool. You will provide a network architecture overview in both diagram and written formats. Your overview can be based on fictitious information, or you can model network architecture from research, citing your source using APA format. This overview is outside of the lab requirements but a part of better understanding a network.

In the overview, you will describe the various data transmission components. Select the links below to review them:

  1. User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
  2. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
  3. Internet packets
  4. IP address schemes
  5. well-known ports and applications

You will also address the meanings and relevance of information, such as the sender or source that transmits a message, the encoder used to code messages, the medium or channel that carries the message, the decoding mechanisms that were used, and the receiver or destination of the messages.

Your overview will describe the intrusion detection (IDS) and intrusion prevention (IPS) systems used and the firewalls that have been established. Make sure to link the operating systems and the software and hardware components in the network, firewall, and IDS that make up the network defense implementation of the banks’ networks. Identify how the banks are using firewalls and how they are using IDSs, and identify the difference between these technologies. Include the network infrastructure information and the IP address schemes, which will involve the IP addressing assignment model, and the public and private addressing and address allocations. Identify potential risks in setting up the IP addressing scheme. Here are some resources for you to review:

Identify any well-known ports and applications that are being used and the risk associated with those being identified, and possibly targeted. This portion can be made up of fictitious information, or you can use information from research, citing your source using APA format.

Step 2: Identify Information Security Attacks

In the previous step, you provided an overview of the network architecture. For this step, using the fictitious or the model network architecture and IDS and firewalls, identify possible cyberattacks such as spoofing/cache poisoning attacks, and session hijacking attacks including but not limited to man-in-the-middle attacks. Using knowledge acquired in the previous step, provide techniques for monitoring against these attacks. Review the following resources to gain a better understanding of these particular cyberattacks:

The FS-ISAC representative has asked you to propose a cyber offensive operation and to lure the hackers to honeypots (click the link to read more). escribe what a honeypot is, how to set up an operation using a honeypot, and what security and protections mechanisms would need to be in place if a bank agreed to set up a honeypot. What are some indicators in network traffic that would lead you to conclude that your honeypot trap has worked? Report these from Wireshark.

You will use the identified information on security attacks, the techniques for monitoring such attacks, and cyber offensives such as honeypots as part of your report to the FBI and the FS-ISAC. This information, however, should not be included in the bulletin so that the hackers will not be alerted to the defenses. However, add this to your final report.

Step 3-5: I will have to perform in a Lab

You just identified possible information security attacks. Now, identify the risks to network traffic analysis and remediation. Review the resources on false positives and false negatives. Identify what these are, how they are determined, how they are tested, and which is riskier to the health of the network.

Step 6: Explain Other Detection Tools and Techniques

The previous step required you to use Snort and Wireshark in Workspace. This step requires you to explain in a few paragraphs what other tools and techniques you may use to detect these signatures. You may have to do independent research to find these tools and techniques. Be sure to cite your sources in APA format. Provide enough detail so that a bank network administrator could follow your explanation to deploy your system in production. Include this information in your bulletin.

After you have researched and compiled the information on other detection tools and techniques, it’s time to move to Step 7, where you will organize and complete your report to the FBI and FS-ISAC.

Step 7: Organize and Complete Your Report

Now that you have gathered all the data for your report, it is time to organize it. Conclude the report and organize your report in sections. The following is a suggestion, but use what is best for the FBI chief and the FS-ISAC representative:

  1. Event: the types of information attacks you have been tasked to examine.
  2. Target and Profile: Here, you will describe FS-ISAC and the bank institution.
  3. Overview of Network Architecture: Explain in a few paragraphs what other tools and techniques you may use to detect this signature. Provide enough detail so that a campus network administrator could follow your explanation to deploy your system in production.
  4. Network Traffic Monitoring and Results
  5. Recommended Remediation Strategies

The report should be an eight- to 10-page double-spaced Word document i with citations in APA format. The page count does not include figures, diagrams, tables or citations.
