I need this work done In this assignment, you will use design principles from chapter 17 to create a public document, developed with a particular audience in mind, in order to inform, persuades, instructs, and/or entertain that audience. This assignment asks you to (1) design an original, visual document suitable for this audience and purpose and (2) compose a design report that outlines and explains your design choices.What Should I Design?Because you will be focusing on design decisions for this assignment and because of time constraints, it is crucial that you design a document around a topic about which you have already written. This process will alleviate the need to conduct much, if any, research in order to complete your design. You must choose from the following three options for this assignment.Please Note: Option 3 is recommended only for specific circumstances upon which a student and the instructor agree in advance. The majority of students are expected to choose either Option 1 or Option 2 to complete this assignment.Option 1: Design a document for one of the groups of stakeholders involved in your Assignment 4 submission— Defining a Problem/Proposing a Solution submission.Option 2: Design a document that informs, persuades, and/or instructs readers of the position you argued for in your Assignment 3 Position Arugment submission.Option 3: Get your instructor’s approval to design a document unrelated to a previous class assignment. To get approval, you will need to demonstrate the following:Your document will serve a need for a group of people to which you belong (i.e., your co-workers, neighborhood association, church group, club, or other organization).No significant research will be required to compose your document.What Will Be Due?There are two parts to the final draft of this assignment.An original, visual public documentYou will want to create a document that is visual (not too text heavy; follows a visual design of your creation) and that relies on interesting design to educate, persuade, instruct, or entertain you intended audience. You will want to design a document that will catch a reader’s eye. You document should also be one that your audience can read relatively quickly, put to use, and/or share. Lesson 13 in the course commentary provides examples of public documents.Your final document should be saved as either a DOC (MS Word) or PDF (Adobe Acrobat) file and uploaded to the Assignment 5 Final Draft Drop Box. (If you work in another software program, save your final file as a JPG image and then insert it into an MS Word document.)The design reportIn a memo to your instructor, provide a detailed explanation of the decisions you made to create your document. Divide your report into three sections.Section 1: Audience and PurposeIdentify the intended audience and purpose for your document. This is the portion of your report that should depend most fully on the rhetorical concepts we have been learning about and using all semester. Most generally, this section should reflect upon two key questions:Who is the intended audience for this document?What is purpose of this document?See page 4 of Lesson 14 (of the course commentary) for additional questions that will help you answer these questions fully.Section 2: Content and OrganizationProvide a rationale for the content and organizational decisions you made in this document. Consider the following questions:Why did you choose the type of document form (bulletin, flyer, policy sheet, etc.) that you did for this project? How does this form relate to your intended audience, your purpose, and other situational considerations (such as where and how the document will be viewed)?Effective visual design relies on limited wording/text. How did you decided what to include and what not to include in your document?How does the content anticipate readers’ questions?Explain your strategy for arranging the components of your document. Given this arrangement, how do you expect your audience to read your document? (How do you expect the reader’s eye to move across/through the document? How long do you anticipate it will take to read the document? What will readers see first and last? etc.) How do these decisions take into account your audience, the document purpose, etc.?Section 3: Document DesignProvide a rationale for the design decisions you made as you drafted this document. Be sure to explain how you used the following four principles of design, from Lesson 11 and Chapter 19:Group similar items together.Align visual elements.Use repetition and contrast to create consistent visual patterns.Create visual interest.RequirementsYou must complete both parts of this assignment: an original, visual public document and a design report.Your public document and design report should both demonstrate your mastery of visual and rhetorical principles of effective communication.Your public document should employ the four visual design principles explained in chapter 17 of The Call to Write.The body of your design report should use the following header at the top of the first page:To:[Instructor’s name]From:[Your name]Subject:Design Report for [Name or Describe Your Public Document Here]Date:[Date of Submission]Because you will use a memo header, you do not need a separate title page for the design report.The body of your design report should use the section headings provided in this assignment (Section 1: Audience and Purpose, etc.) and follow the simple report-style design format (similar to that of your proposal).The final length of your design report should be 950–1,300 words. (This word count is equivalent to 3–4 double-spaced pages.) The report should be word-processed with 1-inch margins on all sides. Your instructor may indicate additional formatting preferences or requirements.

Part of the unique element of healthcare facilities management is to plan the facility’s layout to ensure optimal patient flow. Bottlenecks in patient flow can adversely impact quality of care and patient satisfaction. Research the concept of patient flow, including from the readings this week. If you are unable to access the textbook, web search patient flow, it’s the idea of how a patient moves thru an appointment or thru the hospital, having everything laid out efficiently for the patient and the workflow.

In the first section of your paper, discuss strategies for improving patient flow.

In the next section of your paper, discuss patient flow in your department. You may want to interview other employees and/or reflect on your own observations and/or patient comments. Is your facility designed in an optimal way to ensure optimal patient flow? Why or why not? How would you design the department so as to improve patient flow? If you do not work in healthcare, try to find someone who does and explore these questions. If you can’t find someone, you can just discuss customer workflow in a facility or business with which you are familiar and discuss the same questions above regarding customer flow, and how you would design the department or facility to improve customer flow. If you don’t work in healthcare, you can speak of it hypothetically, how you feel it should work, or how you’ve seen patient flow in your own experience as a patient, or an experience with which you are familiar.

Your paper must have:

• 700+ words

• At least one source (the textbook or article you are summarizing)

• APA 6th edition format

PART B

You are an auditor on the Aussiental Limited (Aussiental) audit engagement for the financial year ending 30 September 2017. Aussiental is a large hotel company with more than 800 hotels in Australia and Asia under a range of hotel brands. You are in the process of undertaking audit planning procedures for the Aussiental Audit. You have noted a number of significant risks outlined below.

Aussietal runs a hotel loyalty program which enables members of the program to earn points for every dollar spent on accomodation, food and beverages at Aussiental branded hotels. These points may be redeemed at a later date for free accomodation or other benefits. Aussiental records a loyalty future redemption liability on the basis of the number of points expected to be redeemed prior to their expiry multipled by redemption cost per point.

An announcement was made on 30 May 2017 that points earned under the loyalty program would now expire in two years rather than five years from the time they are earned. Aussiental’s management subsequently reduced the amount provided in the loyalty program future redemption liability by $80million based on their estimate of the revised amount required to meet the liability given the impact of the change.

Aussiental’s revenue is made up of management fees earned from hotels managed by Aussiental under long term contracts with hotel owners, and from the rental of rooms, and food and beverage sales from hotels owned and leased by the company directly.

In hotels owned and leased directly by Aussiental, the company’s practice is to confirm hotel bookings by taking credit card details and collecting payment for accomodation and incidentals at the end of a customer’s stay. You have noted an increasing incidence of corporate clients prepaying for their employees’ accomodation. These have been recorded as revenue when payment has been received.

It has also come to your attention that there have been a growing number of disputes with hotel owners in relation to the amount of management fees being charged. Management fees include a base fee, a percentage of hotel revenue, and an incentive fee based on the hotel’s profitability. Individual contracts negotiated with hotel owners include provisions for percentage increases of the base fee either annually/biannually to take effect at specific dates. Based on your initial review of the correspondence, it appears that Aussiental has been applying percentage increases to the base fee charged to hotel owners prior to their effective date as contained in the contracts with individual hotel owners.

Aussiental has embarked on a large scale software development project in the current year to internally develop improved guest reservation and hotel management systems. An amount of $37 million for the year has been capitalised as software development during the year.. Your initial review has revealed that this amount includes repairs and maintenance of a range of Aussiental’s hardware incurred during the year.

In relation to the risks described above for the accounts listed below, complete the following audit table by:

(i) providing the key assertion at risk in relation to each account listed

(ii) a specific, practical preventative internal control that would directly address the risk in relation to the assertion identified in (i)

(iii) a specific, practical detective internal control that Aussiental could implement for the risk in relation to the assertion identified in (i) and;

(iv) specific, practical tests of controls you would use to gather evidence to support reliance on each of the controls provided in (ii) and (iii) above
