Describe the internal control principle of “Risk Assessment” as presented in COSO’s 2013 Framework, SOX 2002 Sections 404 & 302, and PCAOB’s AS 5.

Compare the internal control effectiveness of the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Section 404 “Internal Control over Financial Reporting Requirements”, and PCAOB’s AS 5 “an Audit of Internal Control over Financial Reporting that is integrating with an Audit of Financial Statements.”

Part 2

Read the article “Sarbanes-Oxley and Public Reporting on Internal Control: Hasty Reaction or Delayed Action?”. Do you agree with the authors that the COSO 1992 Framework and SOX 2002 Section 404 succeeded in changing the ways companies thought of internal controls over risk assessment? Why or why not?

The COSO, SOX Section 404, and PCAOB’s AS 5 have demonstrated equal effectiveness in providing internal control structure and procedures needed for financial reporting. According to Lawson et al. (2017), the SOX law, in general, emphasizes organizations use the COSO framework for conducting internal controls to achieve the required standards for risk assessments and auditing. This also aligns with the PCAOB’s AS 5, whereby the standardized procedure helps identify the highest risks in financial information. However, a significant difference is that the COSO offers a framework for the organizational managers to use when creating their control environment (Lawson et al., 2017). On the other hand, the SOX 404, which acts as a compliance program, requires managers to sign off on the designed internal controls based on their financial reporting (Leech, 2003). Further, the PCAOB’s AS 5,

There are 2 parts to this assignment

Each Part must be at least one page.

Part 1- Funding Sources

The most successful fundraisers are good prospect researchers. This means they use existing online and print resources to identify which funding sources (specific individuals, foundations, government sources, etc.) are most likely to fund the organization/project based on past giving, mission, priorities, and geographic giving area.

To prepare:

  • Consider a nonprofit organization for which you work or with which you are familiar.
  • Analyze 2–3 potential funding sources for this organization.

The organization for this assignment is NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Health)

Astra Zeneca came into the limelight back in 2013 when NAMI failed to be transparent with its revenue statement. According to reports receiving funding from the drug makers is not that ideal if, in the end, the drug companies forcefully advocate for issues that affect the industry. On the other hand, I considered SAGE Foundation not good as a prospective donor because its contribution was not related to its gift capacity. The Foundation is expected to donate more than. Although it is a nonprofit, grassroots charitable organization that advocates for people with substance abuse disorders, the organization’s gift capacity is a bit higher than what they are contributing.

Answer preview

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides low-income working families, seniors on fixed incomes, people with disabilities, and other low-income individuals and families with the required, healthy assistance (Berkowitz-Seligman et al., 2017). A third of SNAP participants live in families with elderly or disabled relatives, while many are in families with young children. It is the most responsive government program offering additional aid during economic downturns, second only to joblessness protection. The lack of readily available resources to purchase food is the critical issue that the SNAP plan is intended to address.

There is a need for administrative assistance because a small number of homes lack the resources to continue living a healthy, functioning lifestyle. When receiving SNAP benefits, participating families have more money available to them all to spend on purchases. Beneficiaries can contact private businesses to obtain their meals once the primary source issue is addressed.

China’s GDP was the sixth largest in the world in 2003 after countries like France, Japan, the United States, Germany, and Great Britain. The number of employed people in China increased significantly between 1990 and 2003 by about 96.83 million, which was a result of changes in the country’s employment structure (Cheng, 2019). The unemployment rate of China in 2003 was 4.3%, while that of the United States was 10.7% which was a decrease from 11% in 2002. The number of working people has been increasing by about 5.5 million people every year up to 2020 when COVID-19 distracted the trend. In the U.S., the unemployment rate has been, on average, at 5.74% since 1948 (Trading Economics, (2022). However, in 2020, the rate increased to 14.7% due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
