Would King & Queen be liable to EFL
$35.00Topic: AUDITING AND ASSURANCE SERVICES
ASSIGNMENT QUESTION
Impulse Pty Ltd (Impulse) is an entertainment system manufacturer that was established in 2005. Your audit firm King & Queen have been the auditor of Impulse since its formation. The audit report for the year ended 30 June 2012 was unqualified. Although Impulse had been suffering liquidity problems with a drop in both debtors’ turnover and inventory turnover, King & Queen did not consider that any additional audit work was necessary in regard to the valuation of these assets. In August 2012, Impulse obtained a large loan from a finance company, Easy Finance Limited (EFL), to provide additional working capital. However, Impulse continued to experience severe trading problems and was placed in liquidation in December 2012.King & Queen has been notified by EFL’s solicitors that they are taking action against your firm based on the audit of the 30 June 2012 financial report. EFL claim that the cause of Impulse’s failure related to the inadequate provision for doubtful debts and a fall in the value of inventories on hand, and that these problems were evident at 30 June 2012, but had not been adequately dealt with in the financial report due to your negligence. They also claim that they would not have given the loan to Impulse if the 2012 financial report had been qualified.
Required
(a) Would King & Queen be liable to EFL? Provide specific case references to support your answer.
(b) Would your answer change if EFL had written to King & Queen advising you that they intended to make a loan to Impulse and were relying on the 2012 audited financial report to assist them in making their decision?

Research Assignment – Essay on Cultural Differences
$30.00Assessment Item: Research Assignment – Essay on Cultural Differences
Length: 1,400 words (excluding reference list) plus or minus 10% as per standard university policy.
Essay Topic:
Select a European country and an Asian country and using the academic literature examine the impact of cultural differences on the negotiation process. Outline the cultural characteristics of each country and then provide a comparative analysis of how these cultural characteristics impact upon how they negotiate. Provide relevant examples from the academic literature and/or the contemporary world.Format:
The assignment must be in essay format (not report format) using complete sentences and paragraphs. Headings are acceptable and encouraged. You may include tables and diagrams if you wish. This is an individual assessment submission NOT a group submission.Structure:
Introduction: a succinct outline of the aims, purpose and structure of the paper and short summary of conclusions reached. An introduction in papers of this length is usually only one or two paragraphs. Your introduction must include a brief discussion of what you will discuss in your essay.
Body of the paper: the analysis. The social sciences technique of analysing involves more than just describing what happened. In this course, it is used to explain why events occurred, and to suggest implications of the events. The purpose of conceptual literature generally in the social sciences is broadly twofold: to predict and/or explain. The analysis in this paper must use the negotiation conceptual literature to answer the question. It is useful to critically evaluate the literature according to your experiences of negotiation inside as well as outside the classroom – did your experiences differ from the analysis in the literature? If so how? Rely on your own observations, but ensure that you support them by referring to the academic literature.
Conclusion: Some concluding statements which summarise your overall evaluation. It should be a paragraph which restates your argument and sums up your principal conclusions in the paper. The conclusion should not introduce any new material or quotes.Referencing
The in-text citations and reference list for your essay should be consistent. You should use a minimum of 25 academic sources. Below in this document is an explanation as to different types of sources. It will help you understand what is and what is not considered an academic source. Please speak to your tutor or the convenor if you are still unsure.

Students should attempt to go beyond the text and materials provided on the Learning@Griffith Course Website, such as lecture notes.

Tesco Financial Analysis
$25.00Individual Written Coursework 2
Financial Analysis of a company – 30% of the overall module mark.
Format
The assignment is a 1,500 word report. Word count +/- 10% is acceptable.
Your report should be an analysis of the financial performance of Tesco PLC (Company number 00445790).
Start the main body of your report with an overview of Tesco’s recent history and any significant
changes that have happened within the company.
You should calculate at least 2 financial ratios from each of the 5 types of ratios: Profitability; Efficiency; Liquidity; Financial Structure; Stock Market measures (i.e. 10 in total). For each of your 10 ratios, calculate 2 successive years’ performance – e.g. 2012 and 2013.
You should analyse and discuss any differences between the ratios calculated and suggest reasons why the figures are different. For example, if Gross Margin % has decreased, is this due to an increase in costs, or a decrease in revenue? If costs have increased, might this be to increase oil prices? Remember to back up statements with evidence (referenced appropriately) and logical, reasoned argument. You may wish to also use a ratio from a company in a similar market, or a competitor to Whitbread and draw appropriate conclusions.
Repetitive statements along the lines of “It’s because of the recession” will not be rewarded! Try and be more creative, original, and THINK!
