The Minnesota Vulnerable Adult Act Policy Analysis Of 1995 Reforms, Therese L. Buckley

Theses and Graduate Projects

Maltreatment of vulnerable adults is increasing at an alarming rate in the decade since the Minnesota Vulnerable Adult Act was passed in 1980. National estimates of elder maltreatment have risen by 50% in the last decade. Educated estimates of maltreatment are as high as 1.5 million incidents in the United States per year. The Minnesota legislature mandated in 1994 that the Minnesota Departments of Health and Human Services convene an advisory committee to make recommendations to the legislature on the means of preventing maltreatment of vulnerable adults. This thesis looks at the policy implications of the 1995 Minnesota Vulnerable Adult …

Malaysia's "Computer Crimes Act 1997" Gets Tough On Cybercrime But Fails To Advance The Development Of Cyberlaws, Donna L. Beatty

Washington International Law Journal

Malaysia is in the process of developing the Multimedia Super Corridor ("MSC"), a high-tech zone sometimes called "the Silicon Valley of the East." As a way of attracting investors to the MSC, Malaysia is adopting business-friendly policies and comprehensive "cyberlaws" designed to assure MSC participants that they and their technology will be protected. One of Malaysia's many goals is to be a leader in the development of cyberlaws. However, the Computer Crimes Act 1997 is too flawed to place Malaysia in that role. The Computer Crimes Act is designed to prevent computer crimes such as hacking, virus planting and the …

Forensic Accounting: Turning Cpas Into Private Eyes, Gina Ferraro

Honors Capstones

Forensic accounting is the integration of accounting, auditing, and investigative skills. This discipline has gained immense popularity in recent years. In fact, this field is expanding so rapidly that the number of qualified individuals in this area is not meeting its demand for job opportunities. Perhaps this dilemma can be solved by making current and future accounting professionals more aware of their chances for advancement into this relatively new field. Throughout this paper, I discuss the reasons for the increased need for forensic accountants. Before examining the job opportunities available in this field, I also outline the necessary skills and …

Toward A Theory Of Reciprocal Responsibility Between Clients And Lawyers: A Comment On David Wilkins’ Do Clients Have Ethical Obligations To Lawyers? Some Lessons From The Diversity Wars, Carrie Menkel-Meadow

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

On my plane flight to attend the American Association of Law Schools meeting at which Professor David Wilkins presented his paper, Do Clients Have Ethical Obligations to Lawyers? Some Lessons From the Diversity Wars, the pilot requested passengers to "assist the flight attendants in their principal duty of providing safety to all passengers," following a recent incident with mid-flight turbulence in which one person died and several were injured. The pilot reminded us that "service" was only a secondary function of the flight attendants, with their principal duty being to ensure that all of us traveled and arrived safely, …

Lost And Found In Cyberspace: Informational Privacy In The Age Of The Internet, Susan E. Gindin

Re-Examination Of The Application Of Cognitive Developmental Theory To The Study Of Ethics And Socialization In The Accounting Profession, Stephen Bruce Scofield

Doctoral Dissertations

Concern over the ethical behavior of accountants in public practice is legitimate. Willful misrepresentation of accounting information undermines the effective operation of economic institutions and social systems that rely on financial information. Such concern, fueled by salient instances of accounting failures, has prompted investigation by the federal government and research by both accounting institutions and researchers in academe.

One of the most critical claims coming out of these inquiries is that the accounting profession is controlled by a self perpetuating culture that too readily identifies with the interests of clients, as opposed to the needs of financial information users. Anecdotal …
