The COSO framework of internal controls is practiced within companies around the world. The objectives of the COSO framework are closely related to its five components. For this week’s activity, please discuss these five components of the COSO framework. Be sure to include each components’ impact on each of the COSO framework objectives. What do you feel an auditor would most be concerned with during an IT audit? Lastly, discuss suggestions for integrating COSO framework compliance into a company in which you are familiar. Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be approximately 2-4 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
  • Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
  • Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook.

Activity 3- Strategy Applied in Project Mngt

  1. After reviewing/reading Chapters 5 & 6 of the textbook, access UC’s online Library and conduct research within the “Business Source Premier (EBSCO Host)” search engine and locate a Project Management Journal article among the thousands of journal articles made available within the many years of publications the Library holds.  The Project Management Journal article should tie directly into at least one highlight from the assigned chapters (Chapters 3 & 4) reading/review material for the week.  This weekly research paper should include at least 2 pages, but not more than 3 pages, in the narrative and it should be typed in APA formatting (title page, reference page, no abstract page, double-spacing, Times New Roman 12 font, 1-inch margins, in-text citations, etc…). 
    Your paper should contain the following headings:

    •      Introduction
    •      Summary of the article
    •      Relevant points made by the author
    •      Critique of the article
    •      Application of the concepts in the article

Title: Project Management: The Managerial Process

Lab 4

In this assignment, you will practice implementing and processing arrays in ARM Assembly by modelling the game of Bulgarian Solitaire.

The game starts with 45 cards. (They need not be playing cards. Unmarked index cards work just as well.). Randomly divide them into some number of piles of random size.

For example, you might start with piles of size 20, 5, 1, 9, and 10.

In each round, you take one card from each pile, forming a new pile with these cards.

For example, the sample starting configuration would be transformed into piles of size 19, 4, 8, 9, and 5. The solitaire is over when the piles have size 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, in some order. (It can be shown that you always end up with such a configuration.)

In your ARM assembler program, produce a random starting configuration and print it. Then keep applying the solitaire step and print the result. Stop when the solitaire final configuration is reached.

I will leave the design of the program completely up to you, but make sure that you use functions for all major tasks and keep the main function very simple (use it primarily to call your functions).

When picking the company or organization, think about your educational specialization area, information technology interests, or career goals.

  1. Examine your organization to determine if it exhibits any of the warning signs that indicate difficulty in integrating business goals and processes.
  2. Consider the following questions as you look at your organization’s business goals and processes:
    • Do you feel the company or organization is utilizing information technology effectively? Why or why not?
    • Does this organization have many isolated systems that make it difficult for necessary work to flow smoothly as an end-to-end process?
    • Does this organization have difficulty sharing data with anyone in the organization who needs the data as part of their implementation of a business goal?

Instructions

In three pages, discuss what you have learned in your examination of this organization. Include the following:

  • Company or organization background.

Java

 Object-Oriented Programming with Java 

(a) Give three differences between an interface and an abstract class in Java. [3 marks] 

(b) A novice programmer writes the following code in order to be able to completely clone an object of type Car. 

public class Tyre { private int treadRemaining; 

public void SetTread(int t) { treadRemaining=t; } 

public int GetTread() { return treadRemaining; } } 

public class Car extends Vehicle implements Cloneable { private Tyre tyres[] = new Tyre[4]; 

public Car() { for (int i=0; i<4; i++) tyres[i] = new Tyre(); } 

public Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException { Car c = new Car(); 

c.tyres = this.tyres; return c; } } 

(i) Explain what it means for the treadRemaining field to be private. Explain why it is good programming practice for such fields to be private. [3 marks] 

(ii) Identify the type of interface that Cloneable is. What is the defining characteristic of such interfaces? [2 marks] 

(iii) Identify and explain two reasons why this code may not function as intended. [4 marks] 

(iv) Rewrite the code to address the problems you have identified and allow Car objects to be fully cloned. [8 marks] 1
