    Apollo Shoes Case Study

    Similar to what you did with the Revenue Cycle, I want you to prepare a bridge working paper for the audit of Apollo Shoes as of December 31, 2007, listing the major errors that could occur in the purchasing system and to describe the test of controls procedures for auditing related purchasing controls to determine whether reliable control exists. I don’t think that Apollo has enough purchase transactions that we need to rely on the controls (in other words, we’ll look at them all), but we need to document our finding for our 404 work:…

    Current Events in Business Research

    The importance of business research in today 's growing economy is essential in predicting the performance of a business. Analyzing what a company’s weaknesses and strengths are can help in understanding why business research is necessary. It also focuses on problems and issues and solves these issues. The experience I have acquired in trying to establish a start-up company needs extensive research and hard work. In starting any business and wanting it to be successful research of the business, should be made. Knowing exactly what a new business entails and being prepared facilitates decisions that will determine the productivity. The research a new business acquires is first understanding and reading into a situation. Studying an industry and interpreting strategies and patterns allows for a better outlook on business decisions and changes. According to Cooper and Schindler (2011), business planning requires decision making, planning, acquiring, analyzing, and disseminating relevant data, and information in order to maximize the performance of a business. For my start-up business, my partner and I determined there was an open market and decided to create a service that we could offer. The market research we performed also captured the strategies that competitors currently have that we can capitalize on by what they do not offer and create a higher return to our productivity and services. The importance of business research in today’s economy is decisive because it allows for managers to make decisions that impact businesses and provide information that will bring higher returns and productivity. Organizations methods for business research also include using the scientific method. This analysis allows for reporting, descriptive, explanatory, and predictive studies. (Cooper & Schindler, 2011).…

    A business proposal gives a perspective buyer an intended and scale offering from the seller. In addition, a business proposal has to establish a reasonable interest in growth not only for the company or business, but also with the transferring interest in the clientele and consumers. This will provide the company a detailed analysis of economic and financial benefits and costs, which are used to maintain cash flows. According to McConnell, Brue, and Flynn (2009), “costs exist because resources are scarce, are productive, and have alternative uses.” Therefore, this gives companies and businesses the opportunity to improve or limit the existing services and goods.…

    Judgment in Managerial Decision Making

    The term “formal research” traditionally refers to conducting an experiment under controlled conditions in order to discover, demonstrate or test a hypothesis.

Each one has its application and value in the business setting, yet there are also attributes that are unique to each one. This paper will discuss both formal research and business proposals and their similarities.…
