Harriet Knox, Ralph Patton, and Marcia Diamond work for a family physician, Dr. Gwen Contrad, who is in private practice. Dr. Contrad is knowledgeable about office management practices and has segregated the cash receipt duties as follows:* Knox opens the mail and prepares a triplicate list of money received.* She sends one copy of the list to Patton, the cashier, who deposits the receipts daily in the bank.* Diamond, the recordkeeper, receives a copy of the list and posts payments to the patients’ accounts.About once a month the office clerks have an expensive lunch they pay for as follows:* First, Patton endorses a patient’s check in Dr. Contrad’s name and cashes it at the bank.* Knox then destroys the remittance advice accompanying the check.* Finally, Diamond posts payment to the customer’s account as a miscellaneous credit.The three clerks justify their actions by their relatively low pay and the knowledge that Dr. Contrad will likely never miss the money.Discussion Questions:1. Who is the best person in Dr. Contrad’s office to reconcile the bank statement? Simply providing a name is insufficient; you have to explain why this person would be the best one to reconcile the bank statements. About 75 to 100 words are expected.2. Would a bank reconciliation uncover this office fraud? Why or why not? Again, about 75-100 words are expected.

There are only 3 Problems. Please help with these Problems

CE 563, Seepage & Slope Stability Spring 2012 Homework # 02Problem 1 (15 pts)For the sheet-pile system with H = 5m, H1 = 4m and H2 = 6m, and the four subsoil conditions shownbelow, draw a flow net as accurately as possible. Using the flow net, compute:(a) the seepage per unit length of wall (m3/day), and(b) the porewater pressure (kPa) at Point A. Hydraulic Conductivity (× 10-3 cm/s)Soil Profile Layer 1 Layer 2 kv kh kv kh A 2 2 2 2 B 2 8 2 8 C 8 2 8 2 D 8 8 2 2 H Water2m H1 k1Point A H2 k2Impervious NOTES:(a) A single flownet may be used for profiles A, B and C as long as a clear explanation is provided tosupport the answers. A separate flow net is required for profile D – consider using the SPIRESsoftware as a guide.(b) Make sure that lines are smooth and you really do have squares, where applicable.(c) Label the equipotential lines in a sequential order.(d) Remember that the system geometry must be drawn to scale.Page 1 of 2 CE 563, Seepage & Slope Stability Spring 2012 Problem 2 (15 points)A gravity dam, shown below, is to be constructed to retain a maximum head of 10 meters of water. Theaverage, isotropic hydraulic conductivity of the underlying silty sands is about 2 × 10-4 cm/s and theirsaturated unit weight is about 17 kN/m3. To prevent excessive seepage, two 8-meter sheet piles will beinstalled at the upstream and downstream edge of the dam. As the dam is embedded 2m, the sheet pileswill extend to a depth of 10 meters below the downstream tailwater elevation. For the configurationshown:(a) Draw a flow-net . . . . . try to limit it to 3 flow channels,(b) Determine the amount of seepage, in liters per day,(c) Sketch the distribution of the seepage pressure (i.e. pore water pressure) under the dam betweenpoints A and B. The pressures must be shown in units of kPa or meters head of water,(d) Determine the total uplift force (in kN/m) acting on the gravity dam,(e) If the seepage quantity, determined in (b), is considered excessive, suggest two methods that maybe used to reduce the seepage.25m CONCRETEDAM 10m 2m8m A B 8m 30m Relatively Impervious Problem 3 (10 points)(a) A double packer, permeability test was run in an NX borehole with L = 4 ft and h = 34 ft(Fig. 2-16 in handout). Using an additional pressure of 100 psi, a steady state infiltration rate ofabout q = 11 gallons/minutes was obtained during the test. Assuming that the seepage waspassing into saturated soil, determine the hydraulic conductivity in cm/s. What is the diameter ofa NX hole?(b) A falling head permeability test was conducted using an open 4-inch borehole, 34 feet into an87-foot thick stratum of soil (Fig. 2-18 in Manual). For a 4-inch diameter casing, the water leveldropped 2 feet in 35 minutes. If the mean head during this period was 25 feet, determine thehydraulic permeability of the tested material. How reliable is this computed value? Assignment is due one week after Lecture #7 Page 2 of 2

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Balanced Scorecard Approach for London South Bank University. It needs to be at least 3000 words. Performance indicators are found to be very helpful in the case of educational institutions like Universities imparting higher education which is subjected to increased regulatory pressure from the funding organizations, the government, and the public. Moreover, the inflationary tendencies force educational institutions to have closer control over their finances so that the expenditure is contained within the income levels. Financial performance indicators help the institutions in this respect. The application of the balanced scorecard representing a system of performance measurement that controls and monitors the key strategic parameters by evolving a set of performance indicators provide the educational institutions with a perfect tool for ensuring that the functions of the various divisions work towards the achievement of the strategic objectives of the institution. The balanced scorecard approach also helps the institutions to satisfy the expectations towards accountability and to meet the legislative requirements. With this background, this paper envisages presenting a balanced scorecard approach for the London South Bank University (LSBU)

During the 1990s Prof. Robert S. Kaplan and Dr. David P. Norton of the Harvard Business School developed the balanced scorecard approach as an aid to strategic business management. The purpose of the approach is to provide alternatives to the financial performance measures for improving the overall performance of the organizations.1 The balanced scorecard approach encompasses an operational framework that is designed to measure the company’s mission and strategic goals in terms of four distinct organizational perspectives. They are:

Performance measures are evolved in respect of each of the above areas which can be regarded as very crucial to the success of any organization. By comparing its actual performance against the established standards in each of these areas the organization can ensure the sustenance of its success.
