Leigh Ann Walker Case Analysis
After we reviewed the case of Leigh Ann Walker and discussed it as a group, we felt that Jackie Vaughn overreacted to Walker’s admission that she had been untruthful regarding the CPA exam. Walker was only trying to protect her reputation when she had told Vaughn that she had not taken the CPA exam in May and was planning on taking it in November. She had been given a great opportunity in her mind to start her career working with a well-respected individual within the company such as Jackie Vaughn. In Vaughn’s mind, she didn’t want to waste such an opportunity, so she was going to do everything possible to make sure that she did an adequate job and to impress her superior in every way she could. When the question came up on whether she took the CPA exam, she had reason to assume that she had failed the test in May, so she was only trying to impress Vaughn by telling her that she was planning on taking it in June instead of telling her that she thought the first test was a failure. If we were in the same situation, we would’ve handled the situation differently had we been in Jackie Vaughn’s position. The biggest mistake that we found with the way Vaughn handled the situation was that she did not talk to Walker directly about how she felt, and she didn’t tell her what she wanted to happen before going to upper management. After Vaughn heard the news about Walker passing the CPA exam, she became irritated and didn’t talk to Walker for a few days after that. What we would have done in Vaughn’s place was to talk to Walker about the situation a day after Vaughn heard the news. This way they could both share their sides of the story, and make sure that there wasn’t a misunderstanding between the two. If after they met and talked about it, and Vaughn still felt the same way, then we think it would be alright to talk about it with upper management. However, going straight to the top with the news and requesting that Walker be fired is out of the question in

    During a questioning, Alexander Walker was prevented from leaving the house by PC Adams positioning himself at the doorway; hence, detaining Walker for a few seconds, without touching him, despite Walker not being under arrest and PC Adams admitting to lack intention to arrest . Walker was aggressive and pushed the officer, consequently leading to PC Adams arresting Walker for a public order offence. Walker made a claim in tort seeking damages for false imprisonment, assault and malicious prosecution. At first, the claim was dismissed for the reasons that the detention had been brief and the arrest is lawful since the claimant was aware of his arrest and ‘public order’ is an adequate reason for the arrest. However, the Court of Appeal overturned…

    One bad apple spoils the whole bunch, a phrase that helps explain what has happened to forensics science in the modern era. Forensic labs are gone over with a fine-tooth comb as media and lawyers are looking for anything out of place. It’s safe to say that some people have lost faith in forensics and the justice process, all because of a few people who couldn’t handle the power they held. Ethics in forensics isn’t all black and white, there are grey areas that make some decisions incredibly difficult.…

    David Walker was an abolitionist, orator, and author of David Walker's Appeal. Although David Walker's father, who died before his birth, was enslaved, his mother was a free woman; thus, when he was born in Wilmington, North Carolina, in September 1785, David Walker was also free, following the “condition” of his mother as prescribed by southern laws regulating slavery. Little is known about Walker's early life. He traveled widely in the South and probably spent time in Philadelphia. He developed early on an intense and abiding hatred of slavery, the result apparently of his travels and his firsthand knowledge of slavery.…

    The AICPA’s mission is to provide members with the resources, information, and leadership that will enable them to provide valuable services in the highest standards to benefit the public, employers and clients. I feel protecting the investor, protecting the creditor, and protecting the employee are the most important because these are key people that make the company what it is. I feel this is done by responsibilities, the public interest and integrity. Professional CPA’s have responsibilities to protect all those who use their professional services. They also have the responsibility to cooperate with each other to improve the art of accounting and maintain the public’s confidence. AICPA ensures members act with integrity, guided by the precept that when members fulfill their responsibility to the public, clients and employers interest are best served. The Code of Professional Conduct requires CPAs to be honest and candid within the constraints of the client’s confidentiality. Integrity is an element of…

The CBT provides added examination security and will afford more flexibility for CPA Examination candidates. The computer-based format incorporates the assessment of critical skills, such as research and communication, and includes an increased emphasis on information technology and general business knowledge, as well as broadening the scope of the exam in the audit and attest area. The Illinois Board of Examiners works closely with the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA), and Prometric, a technology-based testing provider, to ensure a smooth CBT experience of the CPA Exam.…
