Please complete discussion for the following:
During the past year, your company has discovered three major frauds. The first was a $3.9 million theft of inventory that had been going on for six years. The second was a $2.8 million kickback scheme involving the most senior purchasing agent. She had been allowing certain customers to overcharge for products in return for personal payments and other financial favors. The third was an overstatement of receivables and inventories by a subsidiary manager to enhance reported earnings. Without the overstatement, his unit’s profit would have fallen far short of budget. The amount of overstatement has yet to be determined. All three of these frauds have been reported in the financial newspaper and have been embarrassing to the company.
In response to these incidents, the board of directors has demanded that management take “positive steps to eliminate future fraud occurrences.” In their words, they are “sick and tired of significant hits to the bottom line and negative exposure in the press.” The responsibility to develop a program to eradicate fraud has fallen on your shoulders. You are to outline a comprehensive plan to prevent future frauds. In devising your strategy, outline the roles the following groups will play in preventing fraud:
o Top Management
o Middle Management
o Internal Audit
o Corporate Security
o Audit Committee
o Legal Counsel
Why is each of the groups above reluctant to take the responsibility for detecting and preventing fraud? Who should be responsible?
Debate the issues.

Abnormal brain development or damage at an early age can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders. Within this group of disorders, some are resolvable with appropriate and timely interventions

Neurodevelopmental Disorders

I can’t believe I am sitting here talking to this lady. Mom thinks I am nuts just because I will not do what she asks. She doesn’t care about me. She only cares about my little brother and that man that keeps coming around. I don’t care about her. That is why I throw things and won’t do what she asks. I don’t care about anyone. Those kids at school who used to be my friends don’t know anything. I am so much smarter than they are.

—Jacob, age 11

There are many mental disorders that occur early in the life course. The DSM-5-TR described neurodevelopmental disorders such as intellectual disability and delay, autism spectrum disorder, language, speech and communication disorders, ADHD, motor disorders, developmental coordination disorder, stereotypic movement disorder, tic disorder, and specific learning disorders (e.g., dyslexia, difficulty mastering mathematical reasoning) . Diagnosis of these various conditions can rarely be made in a single office visit and often requires a comprehensive approach involving multiple stakeholders, including the child, his or her parents, teachers, other significant figures in the child’s life, and medical and mental health professionals, such as psychologists who can conduct comprehensive neuropsychological testing.

The PMHNP must coordinate and integrate several sources of information to arrive at an accurate diagnosis of these disorders. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential to developing an effective treatment plan, which will have the potential to minimize the impact of these disorders on the child’s developmental trajectory. When one considers appropriate diagnosis from this perspective, the importance of diagnostic accuracy becomes quite apparent.

This week, you begin exploring disorders that occur early in the life course and use this knowledge to create a study guide for a neurodevelopmental disorder.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

  • Analyze signs and symptoms of neurodevelopmental disorders
  • Analyze the pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental disorders
  • Analyze diagnosis and treatment methods for neurodevelopmental disorders
  • Summarize legal, ethical, and patient education factors related to neurodevelopmental disorders

Part of your job as an intern in the legal department is to reduce complex court cases to two-page summaries for the company’s non-legal executives detailing important aspects of the lawsuits that may impact the business.

/in /by

Graded Written Assignment:

Legal Memorandum to a Non-Lawyer

about a Court Decision

Instructions

You are working as an intern in the legal department of Italian Food-at-Home, Inc., a

manufacturer and distributor of specialty food products located in Brooklyn, New York. The company manufactures and sells the Italian Food-at-Home brand products to supermarkets throughout the United States. In addition to its manufacturing and wholesale business, the company also operates two retail stores located in New York City where it sells its own products and those

of other suppliers.

 

Part of your job as an intern in the legal department is to reduce complex court cases to two-page summaries for the company’s non-legal executives detailing important aspects of the lawsuits that may impact the business.

 

Your supervisor, Carlotta Rossi, is interested in learning more about a case called Federated Retail Holdings, Inc., v. Sanidown, Inc. (referred to below as Federated Retail).

 

You have been given the assignment to read Federated Retail and write a memorandum to your supervisor summarizing and analyzing the case. Your memorandum about the case should be structured in the following way:

  • The memorandum should be not more than two pages in length, use 12-point font, be

single-spaced except for double-spacing between paragraphs, and include To, From, Date and Re (or Subject) headings. Since the memorandum has a “To” heading, you do not need an opening salutation “Dear Ms. Rossi.”

  • The first paragraph should tell the reader why you are writing this memo, what key legal principles this case illustrates, and why a case involving pillows, comforters, and

featherbeds is relevant for Italian Food-at-Home, Inc.

  • Your next paragraphs should explain the facts, decision, and reasoning in the case.

 

This assignment is similar to a “case brief” discussed in Appendix A of our Law 1101 textbook.

 

This assignment is divided into two steps. In the first step, you will turn in a draft or nonfinal version of the memorandum. After you turn in the draft, your professor will review the draft, make comments, and return it to you. In the second step of the assignment, you will revise and rewrite the memorandum and turn in the final version of the memorandum. This assignment will count 15 percent of the Law 1101 course grade. Only the grade on the final version of the memorandum will count. You will be graded on your understanding of the case and related course material, as well as on the clarity and quality of the presentation.

Academic integrity will be strictly required in this assignment. Do not copy more than three words in a row from any source without attribution, including from Federated  Retail. This prohibition on copying without attribution includes the textbook, other books, any online materials, and any other person. If you quote from the textbook or any other published source, you need to usea proper citation form. For Federated Retail itself, however, you do not need a formal citation form; you can just say, for example: “The parties entered into separate contracts for the Spring 2006 and

Fall 2006 seasons.” Federated Retail.

 

You are allowed and encouraged to discuss this assignment with your classmates or others, provided that you do not copy any other person’s words you’re your memorandum.

Additional Information

This assignment is part of Baruch’s emphasis on developing skills in written communication. “The objective is to teach students to produce professional, clear, concise, evidence-driven, persuasive communication that is audience-aware and purpose-oriented.” Sally Fay, “TheMarket-Responsive BBA,” BizEd (Nov. 2020).

 

Another article describes five competencies in business communication:

 

Professional. Business communicators represent themselves and their

organizations, so they must exhibit care and attention to detail, use a courteous

tone, and follow standard business conventions.

 

Clear. Business communicators must deliver messages that are easy to decipher

and act upon. They should put the bottom line up front, organize points in ways

that are easy to follow, and use simple and unambiguous language.

Concise. Business communicators must deliver messages that are as short as

possible, without being incomplete. At the big-picture level, they cut out

extraneous information. At the detail level, they edit their sentences to reduce

wordiness.

Evidence-Driven. Business communicators must select and present compelling

evidence to support their points. They explain the credibility of their sources or

analyses, clearly describe the supporting data, and use data displays to convey

complex information.

 

Persuasive. Business communicators convince others to support a position or

take action. They state strong overarching persuasive positions, create logical

sub-points, and adhere to ethical standards in their attempts to influence.
