External Audit

An information systems department usually performs numerous IT processing functions that would be separated in a manual system. Does this imply that separation of duties is not a practical means of achieving internal control in a computerized system? Explain.

· Individual task

Task: Case study

· Individual task

· Read the journal article Díaz-Parra, Ibán, and Jaime Jover. “Overtourism, place alienation and the right to the city: insights from the historic centre of Seville, Spain.” Journal of Sustainable Tourism 29.2-3 (2021): 158-175.

· From the article focus on the definitions and the analysis of the following concepts: alienation and place displacementappropriation, gentrification, over-tourism, and authenticity.

· Choose a destination and apply these concepts to analyze it. You may use these guiding questions in your analysis:

o Which are the most relevant stakeholders in the case?

o Does the destination show signs of alienation and place displacement, appropriation, gentrification, overtourism?

o Is the destination authentic? Explain.

· In your case study, conclude whether tourism in the destination you have chosen is sustainable. In your evaluation, use the broader definitions of sustainability and sustainable tourism discussed in class (see slides).

  • Predict      the evolution of these concepts in relation to social, environmental, and      economic issues discussed in class such as poverty, waster access, food      access or access to education and health.
  • Propose and      defend an approach that you believe may help the destination develop a      more sustainable form of tourism. Alternatives are the top-bottom      approach, community-based approach, regulatory approach, marketing and      market-based approach. You may choose a combination of approaches.

· Contextual information:

o Regarding the article of Díaz-Ibara & Jover (2020) focus on the theoretical framework and conclusions, it is not necessary to read the methodological part.

o Base your discussion of the concepts on the article of Díaz-Ibara & Jover (2020) and the following resources which will be discussed during the semester. These resources are all available in your EBSCO Library (Moodle). You may also do additional research if it is necessary.

Where Do The Rules Come From? Who Impacts Accounting?

Throughout your studies, you have heard of the “big names” of the organizations that impact accounting. But what do they really do? How do you know what the hot topics are? How are they influenced? What do they have to do with the financial reports you have been studying all quarter? How could this impact how financial reports are produced? For example, consider how a change in the way leases are recognized may impact the liabilities on a balance sheet and expenses on an income statement (which would then impact owner’s equity).For this assignment, select two of the organizations below.

  • FASB.
  • PCAOB.
  • GASB.
  • SEC.
  • COSO.
  • IFRS.
  • AICPA.
  • IMA.
  • IIA.
  • FEI.

Then, write a 2–3 page paper in which you:

  • Briefly explain the mission or focus of the two organizations you selected and cite at least two sources for your information. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as appropriate sources. It is recommended that you refer to the organizations’ websites or excerpts from their established publications.
  • Select a topic that one of the organizations is currently focused on, or one that they consider a pressing issue or “hot topic.”
  • Summarize what the organization you selected is doing to address the issue you identified.
  • Explain how the issue you identified impacts how financial reports are produced.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

 

  • Preferred method: Typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
