Disciplinary Action Paper
CPA Disciplinary Action In January of 1988 the AICPA introduced the Integrity and Objectivity Rule number 102. The rule states that a member shall maintain objectivity and integrity, shall be free of conflicts of interest, and shall not knowingly misrepresent the facts or subordinate his or her judgment to others (AICPA). Rule number 102 has three separate violation interpretations. The first interpretation of rule 102 states that a member that makes, permits, or directs another to make materially false and misleading entries in financial statements is a violation. A second interpretation of the rule states that if a member fails to correct an entity’s financial statements or records that are materially false and misleading when he or she has the authority to correct the entity. The final interpretation of rule 102 declares that the signing of a member or permitting someone to sign a document that is falsely misrepresented is a violation. Robert Allgyer a CPA at Arthur Anderson LLP violated rule 102 and has received disciplinary actions for the charges that have been brought against him. The charges that Mr. Allgyer was charged with include reckless and knowingly caused the issuance of materially false and misleading audit reports for the company of Waste Management. The AICPA has put Mr. Allgyer under a two year suspension. Mr. Allgyer has also agreed to waive his rights to a hearing and pay a monetary fine of 50,000. In my opinion the actions that were performed by Mr. Allgyer should have required imprisonment for his actions. He was careless and reckless in his actions and I feel that the penalties brought against him were not severe enough. For the AICPA to eliminate further breach of code for this rule, I think that they will have to create more severe penalties. A second option that the AICPA must do is mandate that CPA’s have ethical education on a continued basis. The general standards rule 201 established by the AICPA is divided into four sections

    Purpose of the Aicpa Code of Professional Conduct

    The umbrella statement in the Code is that the overriding responsibility of CPAs is to exercise sensitive professional and moral judgments in all activities. By linking professional conduct to moral judgment, the AICPA Code recognizes the importance of moral reasoning in meeting professional obligations. That, in turn, automatically increases the importance of the AICPA code in general. (Steven M. Mintz DBA, CPA, Roselyn E. Morris PhD, CPA.

    Regulatory Paper

    The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services was the one who issued the Privacy Rule to implement the requirement of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPPA”). The Privacy Rule addresses the use and the disclosure of individuals’ health information called the protected health information by organizations that is connected with the Privacy Rule called “covered entities,” this when the individuals’ can better understand and how to control their health information. The goal of the Privacy Rule is to assure that individuals’ health information is properly protected while allowing the flow of the health information needed to provide good quality health care. HIPPA was enacted by the U.S. Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton in 1996. I would say that it was enacted by the government, and the law became effective by July 1, 1997. Employees must be very well trained so they are capable of protecting all information for the patient and their families. There are special guidelines that apply the information includes health care status of the insured person, health claim attachments, and health care premiums. Employees should also know that there are heavy fines if the health care providers break the rules. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 were signed into law on February 17, 2009. If an organization failed to comply with the rules there will be fines to pay. The amounts start from 10,000 to 100,000 depending on if the violation can’t be corrected. The criminal penalties as of June 2005, the U.S. Department of Justice clarified who can be held criminally liable under HIPPA. The individuals who knowingly obtain or disclose health information in violation of the Administration Simplification Regulations face up to a 50,000 fine and possible up to 1 year imprisonment. Also any statements made under false pretenses it…

    Probation Paper

    In 2011, there were around 4.3 million Americans came onto or off probation (BOJ, 2011). Probation departments are para-military organizations but also have an aspect of socialism to them. Clear department goals help probation officers to know their roles and make appropriate decisions. Furthermore, the work expectations of a younger generation are different and do not necessarily fit into the traditional model of military type organizations. Examination of the probation organizational behavior will answer many questions, including the challenges to the deterrence of crime, financial, and the ability of probation officers to focus on offenders risk/needs.…
