Using the COSO framework:Discuss the components and how they fit together to create a continuous internal control process.

COSO Framework

The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) has developed a comprehensive framework for assessing the quality of a company’s internal controls with regard to their financial reportings. This organization is made up of representatives from the AICPA, the IIA, IMA, and other leading authorities in the field.

Using the COSO framework, outlined here: https://www.sox-online.com/coso-cobit-center/original-coso-framework/, discuss the components and how they fit together to create a continuous internal control process.

Choose a control that you find interesting, and do additional research to thoroughly explain.

Describe it in terms of membership size, membership characteristics, strike history, recent bargaining issues, and employers under union contracts.

“Takehome” Final Exam / E F316N/CL S315: Masterworks of Literature: World / Summer 2021 / Prof. Nehring

Use **Microsoft Word,** include **your email address** in your header at the beginning of the paper, and send the essay as an email attachment to **my UT email address, (Don’t use Canvas messaging.)

Instructions:

Your essay should be typed in Microsoft Word and 1000-1250 words in length. (With one-inch margins, that’s about four to five pages.) Treat the essay as a sit-down exam, not a formal paper: gather your materials, give them some thought, and start writing. You should certainly proofread the result, but don’t worry about extensive revision.

An introduction that includes brief definition of key ideas and/or issues and  that expresses your coverage and argument, and 2) clearly defined paragraph topics in the body of the paper.

Note that  expect you to supply evidence of reading—to supply some citation, that is, of the works you discuss—and that you are required to write about the assigned readings from our anthology.

At the same time, don’t pad your essay with quotations, either. Four or five lines of verse or three or four sentences from prose in the course of a paragraph will be fine, provided they are relevant to your discussion.

Those lines and/or sentences do not have to be continuous—in fact, it would be better if your examples came from different places in a work.

A paper with little or no citation cannot receive a grade higher than a ‘C.’

THE ASSIGNMENT:

The exam should concern two of the authors below, whom we have read under the rubric of “postcolonialism.” What features of each writer’s work seem to you to correspond with descriptions of the purposes of postcolonial literature? OR does the writer’s work seem more closely related to one of the earlier “movements” we studied, modernism, the avant-garde, or postmodernism?

NOTE: The extent to which your exam offers comparison-and-contrast of the authors you select is up to you; do as much or as little as you want.
