Cerebrum vs Cerebellum- Compare and contrast form and function
Top of Form
The Cerebrum and the Cerebelum
The cerebrum (Fore-brain/front of brain), and the cerebelum (little brain) are the two largest structures in the brain. The largest been Cerebrum composing of right and left hemispheres. Weighing about 1300g, about 85% of brain ‘s weight and about 2% of the human’s body weight.
The cerebrum performs higher functions like reasoning, vision, emotions, learning, It also performs functions like interpreting touch, hearing , speech and fine control of movements.
Cerebrum is located inside the bony cranium extending from the frontal bone anteriorly to the posterior occipial bone. It is located in the anterior and middle cranial fossae, located above the tentorium cerebelli in the inferior-posterior boarder. It is divided into four lobes, each handling a specific segment of the cerebrum’s jobs. These are: frontal, tempoal, parietal and occipital lobes.
In contrast, the cerebellum, reffered to as the little brain with adult weight of about 150g, about 12% of brain’s weight and about 0.2% of the human weight.
The cerebellum is responsible for cordinating voluntary movements. Also responsible for motor skills such as balance, cordination, and posture.
It is a major structure of the hindbrain, located near the brainstem, which acts as a relay center connecting the cerebrum and cerebelum to the spinal cord.
It is found at the back of the brain underlying the occipital and temporal lobes of the cerebral cortex. It is separated into three lobes: flocculonodular, anterior and posterior lobes.
Clinical implcations:
Clinically, damage to the cerebrum will depend on which side is damaged and the effect of crossing over due to decussation of the various tracts. Damage to the left hemisphere especiaaly due to stroke will result in left hemispheric stroke, causing right sided weakness or paralysis and sensory impairment. Aphasia, and visual problems including inability to see the right visual field of each eye, may also occur.
Clinically, damage to the cerebellum results in Asynergia, Dysmetria, Adiadochokinesia, Intention tremors and Ataxic gait.
Summary:
The cerebral and the cerebellum are related, at least they are both brain structures, sharing some similarities and impotant differences resulting in clinically distinguishable presentation from damages occuring in each of them.

Scenario
You are an information technology (IT) intern working for Health Network, Inc. (Health Network), a fictitious health services organization headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Health Network has over 600 employees throughout the organization and generates $500 million USD in annual revenue. The company has two additional locations in Portland, Oregon and Arlington, Virginia, which support a mix of corporate operations. Each corporate facility is located near a co-location data center, where production systems are located and managed by third-party data center hosting vendors.
Company Products
Health Network has three main products: HNetExchange, HNetPay, and HNetConnect.
HNetExchange is the primary source of revenue for the company. The service handles secure electronic medical messages that originate from its customers, such as large hospitals, which are then routed to receiving customers such as clinics.
HNetPay is a Web portal used by many of the company’s HNetExchange customers to support the management of secure payments and billing. The HNetPay Web portal, hosted at Health Network production sites, accepts various forms of payments and interacts with credit-card processing organizations much like a Web commerce shopping cart.
HNetConnect is an online directory that lists doctors, clinics, and other medical facilities to allow Health Network customers to find the right type of care at the right locations. It contains doctors’ personal information, work addresses, medical certifications, and types of services that the doctors and clinics offer. Doctors are given credentials and are able to update the information in their profile. Health Network customers, which are the hospitals and clinics, connect to all three of the company’s products using HTTPS connections. Doctors and potential patients are able to make payments and update their profiles using Internet-accessible HTTPS Web sites.
Information Technology Infrastructure Overview
Health Network operates in three production data centers that provide high availability across the company’s products. The data centers host about 1,000 production servers, and Health Network maintains 650 corporate laptops and company-issued mobile devices for its employees.
Threats Identified
Upon review of the current risk management plan, the following threats were identified:
Management Request
Senior management at Health Network has determined that the existing risk management plan for the organization is out of date and a new risk management plan must be developed. Because of the importance of risk management to the organization, senior management is committed to and supportive of the project to develop a new plan. You have been assigned to develop this new plan.
Additional threats other than those described previously may be discovered when re-evaluating the current threat landscape during the risk assessment phase.
The budget for this project has not been defined due to senior management’s desire to react to any and all material risks that are identified within the new plan. Given the company’s annual revenue, reasonable expectations can be determined.
Project Part 1
Project Part 1 Task 1: Risk Management Plan
For the first part of the assigned project, you must create an initial draft of the final risk management plan. To do so, you must:
Write an initial draft of the risk management plan as detailed in the instructions above. Your plan should be made using a standard word processor format compatible with Microsoft Word.
Evaluation Criteria and Rubrics
Project Part 1 Task 2: Risk Assessment Plan
After creating an initial draft of the risk management plan, the second part of the assigned project requires you to create a draft of the risk assessment (RA) plan. To do so, you must:
Evaluation Criteria and Rubrics
Project Part 1 Task 3: Risk Mitigation Plan
Senior management at Health Network allocated funds to support a risk mitigation plan, and have requested that the risk manager and team create a plan in response to the deliverables produced within the earlier phases of the project. The risk mitigation plan should address the identified threats described in the scenario for this project, as well as any new threats that may have been discovered during the risk assessment. You have been assigned to develop this new plan.
Evaluation Criteria and Rubrics
Project Part 2
Project Part 2 Task 1: Business Impact Analysis (BIA) Plan
This part of the project is a continuation of Project Part 1 in which you prepared an RA plan and a risk mitigation plan for Health Network. Senior management at the company has decided to allocate funds for a business impact analysis (BIA). Because of the importance of risk management to the organization, senior management is committed to and supportive of performing a BIA. You have been assigned to develop the BIA plan.
Evaluation Criteria and Rubrics
Project Part 2 Task 2: Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
After having reviewed and being impressed by your business impact analysis (BIA), senior management at Health Network has decided that your team must also develop a BCP. Management has allocated all funds for a BCP and your team has their full support, as well as permission to contact any of them directly for participation or inclusion in your BCP plan. You have been assigned to develop this new plan.
Winter storms on the East Coast have affected the ability of Health Network employees to reach the Arlington offices in a safe and timely manner. However, no BCP plan currently exists to address corporate operations. The Arlington office is the primary location for business units, such as Finance, Legal, and Customer Support. Some of the corporate systems, such as the payroll and accounting applications, are located only in the corporate offices. Each corporate location is able to access the other two, and remote virtual private network (VPN) exist between each Production data center and the corporate locations.
The corporate systems are not currently being backed up and should be addressed in the new plan. The BCP should also include some details regarding how the BCP will be tested.
You may refer to the following additional resources to help you and your team develop a BCP, and you may use a BCP template if found during your research.

Evaluation Criteria and Rubrics
Project Part 2 Task 3: Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)
Your project on risk management, the BIA, and the BCP have been well received by senior management at Health Network. They now want you to develop a DRP in order to overcome any mishaps that might occur in the future. You may research and use National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) templates to develop a DRP plan for the company.
Evaluation Criteria and Rubrics
Project Part 2 Task 4: Computer Incident Response Team (CIRT) Plan
By now you should have developed an RA, a risk mitigation plan, and a BIA, BCP, and DRP.
In this part of the project, you will create a CIRT plan for Health Network. The company headquarters (HQ) handles all incidents because the information security organization is located in Minneapolis, so the plan will have its roots at HQ. Make sure to incorporate your instructor’s feedback on earlier submissions if applicable to the CIRT plan.
Evaluation Criteria and Rubrics
Risk Management Plan Final Submission
After creating the CIRT plan, compile all project parts and submit to your instructor. Make sure to incorporate your instructor’s feedback on the previous submissions in the final risk management plan.

Case Analysis Instructions
You will analyze the case titled, “Ladd v. Uecher and Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Club.” This analysis should be a 5–7 pages and follow the current APA guidelines. Title page and reference page in current APA formatting is required.
The basic guidelines for analyzing ethical cases are as follows:
Guidelines for Preparing Ethical Case Analyses
It is useful to discuss your case with at least one other person before you sit down to write up your case analysis. Following your case discussion, you are required to prepare a short analysis of the case in which you develop and defend your own ethical analysis of the case.
The purpose of these reports is to give you a chance to work out your own view about the issues raised by each case and to practice the procedure for analyzing ethical dilemmas. It is important that you include biblical references to defend your stance.
This week we learn about long-lived assets (Property Plant and Equipment – Chapter 9) and current liabilities and payroll (Chapter 11).
This week’s discussion questions are as follows:

Role: CPA Team of Advisors hired to support management in developing an appropriate system of internal controls for a new company that has been created to provide a Covid-related service or product (note: it will be up to the Team to decide what product or service the company is focused on – pick just one product or service to simplify the processes)
Client: Covid Response Company A has just started up and its first year end will be August 30, 2021. The company reports using ASPE and the financial statements will be audited to meet bank loan covenants, one of which pertains to accounts receivable (they are pledged as collateral for the business startup and equipment loan the company took on in summer 2020).
Background: You are in the stage of reviewing the background information that the client has been able to provide in advance of your meeting (it’s pretty sketchy – which is par for the course for new clients and start up businesses):
· The bank loan they were able to get was for $500,000 using the personal guarantee of the sole shareholder Chaman Anders.
· They currently have 4 employees – Chaman and three others (they have capacity to work full-time but some are not yet 100% busy)
· Business has been booming and they have had no time to document their processes and do any record-keeping yet. The bank is providing online payroll processing and Chaman is the admin as they have full control of the banking activities.
· They optimistically project to have sales of $1M to $2M in a full year.
Key Deliverables: Chaman wants advice and clear documentation of the process that should be followed for handling the purchase-payables-payments cycle. They expect a report with the following
1. A process flowchart focused on the most important, i.e. key, controls for handling purchases necessary to carry out the company’s main business. Focus on the main trade goods purchased (equipment is already in place), the inventory management, and how to/ who pays the bills (10 marks)
– Hand-drawn flowcharts are acceptable (make sure its legible, rough draft acceptable for individual submission) – just scan/ photo and append or embed photo in doc
– Or use software (excel, ppt, word… that would be the order of apps I would work with) and print screen or paste special (image) in doc
2. Documented list of key purchasing/payables/payment controls the company should implement. Be sure to capture how the company should capture evidence of the controls (e.g. signatures, reports, document types) being followed and articulate the audit objective/financial statement assertion(s) that are supported by putting these controls in place. Your list of controls must be tailored to the company. The cost of the controls should be considered when making recommendations (i.e. the company does not have capacity to invest significant dollars). (45 marks)
1. A list of daily or weekly and month-end banking procedures the company should complete. Note: almost all of the company’s receivables are handled electronically due to covid restrictions minimizing the use of cash. Provide an example of a bank reconciliation that Chaman can use to keep on top of the banking (be sure to tailor the steps to the company specifics) and explain the key steps.
– Banking procedures list (8 marks)
§ Note: procedures you identify should be provided in a list format and NOT in a written paragraph format.
– Example bank reconciliation and explanation of steps to complete (10 marks)
2. Prepare a brief explanation of how Covid Response Company A should address the presentation and disclosure of their debt (identified on the bank confirmation that Chaman expects to use – see attached) identifying what the auditors will be looking for in financial statements. Include a quotation from the appropriate accounting framework, i.e. the relevant CPA Guidance and Standard Collection (Accounting and Assurance) section. Feel free to note any advice about how Chaman should handle the bank confirmation (5 marks)
3. Chaman is also worried about how the auditors will audit the company’s inventory account. They have heard horror stories from their friends about auditors doing sampling and then messing up and having to redo inventory procedures. Investigate the audit standards, provide a brief explanation of what steps the auditors need to follow when sampling inventory (so Chaman can make sure they’re prepared and monitor the auditors to see that they follow through). Provide a quote from the assurance standards to support your explanation, (including the CAS # reference and specific paragraph reference). Make a list of steps that Chaman can expect the auditors to follow when they test inventory (including how the auditors’ tests serve to gather evidence in support of the financial statement assertions/ audit objectives related to inventory).
– Research standard quotation (2 marks)
– Explanation (2 marks)
– List of auditor’s inventory procedures (15 marks)
