Sign Document for Procurement Myself

There is no chicken shortage. There is a procurement shortage.Anyone who has ever worked for a large organisation will know that the dumbest, most dangerous people in the company work in procurement. They do the sort of deals where a new laptop charger supplied by the one company you are forced to use costs £120. But is £9.99 on Amazon. Or where the outsourced central travel dept organise a business trip, they find a flight at an inconvenient time and a hotel at an inconvenient place for a cost of £1500, I frequently got in trouble for booking the trip myself. With a flight at a time I wanted to travel, and hotel where I needed to be for £500.I must have interacted with over 1000 procurement people. 99.9% of whom were "thick as shit" (if you DM me I'll tell you who the one single procurement person is). Luckily (for me) most of the time I was selling ludicrously overpriced, "square peg" tech solutions, that didn't really solve the "round hole", problem. But I was usually better than the competition at producing hundreds of pages of tick-box "environmental policy documents", and other associated bullshit. The actual ability of our product to solve the problem or be cost effective, frequently didn't come up.Back to DHL and KFC. Some knuckle dragger procurement guy (or more probably team of morons) will have done many months or even years of due diligence, and at the end of this signed a deal with the new supplier. However while the procurement team at KFC know how many solar panels are on the roof of the DHL headquarters, they didn't bother to find out if DHL could actually deliver (literally!).

The above answers are very comprehensive - especially Alex's, so I'd just like to add a big-picture comment about the 'process'.  Because development is not just about 'doing', it is also kind of about 'being':Development is about 1) being very comfortable with huge risk (so it helps to have a source of $$$, or be crazy, or both), and 2) being a very good salesman/saleswoman.I've worked with a breadth of developers both geographic- and product-wise: people and companies in New York and California, China, Singapore, the Philippines, Bali, Cambodia, Japan, the Middle East; trying to build villas, theme parks, casinos, hotels, condominiums, spas, and resorts of all kinds.  Some have succeeded, many have not.  I mention this only because I've seen commonalities despite this wide scope, and they are the following.First, risk: as a developer you're exposed to an asset that has no cash flow, for extended periods of time.  You can be holding land for years, generating no income, while paying holding costs in the form of maintenance, property taxes, etc.  If you've actually benefited from a risky lender who has actually lent you money to buy LAND, then you need to pay the mortgage - while your land is generating no income.  Say, even if you're a condo-conversion guy or gal, and you have an existing cash-flow property (apartment) that you're trying to convert into condos - there's a period of time when you're doing construction where you have no cash flow.All this is to say, that you better be comfortable with the risk that it all goes wrong and you're completely out of pocket with nothing to show for it.  In the time between the conception of your idea and its materialization, everything can go wrong, and a few things definitely will.  Land not entitled?  A city council or municipal government that you thought was initially friendly might totally turn against you.  A friend of the firm or other investor who signed an MOU to invest with you, over drinks or tea or friendly round of golf?  Letters of intent or understanding, and verbal 'maybes' mean nothing.  Construction budget for a theme park that you thought was going to be $300 million is actually $1 billion?  Sorry.  Licensing deals can fall through, pre-sales can fail to materialize, protests by local communities can turn swiftly against your project, environmental reports can turn up negative, competition can suddenly crush you, lease rates can plummet, exchange rates can go in opposite directions, government funding can get delayed, and last but not least, global liquidity can suddenly dry up so that there is no money being invested or lent, anywhere, for anything (e.g. 2008).  So in order to be a successful developer, therefore, you need to figure out how to manage this risk in the cocooning period between your first cash outflow and your exit.  I'd say this is the most important thing.  You can just be crazy and not mitigate it at all, because you have nerves of steel and brass balls (eggs) and icy veins and the conviction of a religious zealot, but if you're doing the smart thing, you'll either try to shorten that period between cash outflow/inflow, or find creative financing methods.  For example, if you can't purchase the land outright, you might enter into a land-lease deal where you're paying smaller amounts upfront with an option to buy.  For condos/golf memberships etc., you can have pre-sales during the construction period and get deposits.  Some residential developers start pre-selling before they even put a shovel in the ground.  You might enter into some kind of agreement with the local government and get tax subsidies or other benefits, or even get land for free in return for development.  You can go the Walt Disney route and actually incorporate or annex yourself into a municipality (if you have lots of land) to avoid the headaches of land use ordinances or pesky neighborhood groups (I say that in jest).  One thing developers often forget or try to do without is to pay in the thousands of dollars to actually do due diligence before shelling out millions of dollars - for environmental reports, feasibilities, market research, cost estimates.  But obviously, the best way to mitigate the risk is to get money upfront from others - co-investors, lenders, or other partners who act as a source of capital.  And this gets into my next point/commonality: salesmanship.  In everything there is inertia, and in the illiquid world of real estate, it is Newtonian in scale.  Like Craig was saying, as a developer, you're proposing change - you're creating something that doesn't exist in the world yet, and the value is inside your head only, and can only become unlocked in the real world if you can successfully cross that chasm of risk above.  And mechanically, how do you do it?  You need to be able to convince everyone around you of your vision.  In development you interact with so many different groups, that you'll need to convince all constituents: investors and other partners, lenders, contractors, local neighborhood groups, governments and municipalities (bureaucracies!!).  You'll need to marshal an entire army of suppliers and partners toward a common vision, of a value most people are not yet convinced of.  In order to do that the first is to have a good project, but if it's that good, everyone would be pursuing it.  Investment no-brainers are usually very hard to come by, and usually in a development project, there are a lot of uncertainties and what-ifs (see catalogue of disasters above).  Uncertainty makes people dangle their legs over the caution-side of the proverbial fence, so how do you get people on the other side?  How do you convince people?There is no clear answer to this, but you don't necessarily have to be a fast-talking hustler with a cigar dangling from his lips who recites a litany of absolutes; as in "will happen", "no-brainer", "best project", "huge returns", "obvious value".  Nor do you need to necessarily hire a designer to illustrate out-of-this-world pictures that blow the minds of everyone looking at them.  Although sometimes both work, it's usually not enough.  Development is entrepreneurship.  You need to be convinced of the project yourself.  You need to demonstrate credibility by having skin in the game yourself ($$$).  You need to be coherent, have a clear vision, have a good story.  You need to network like crazy, and if it's not your strong point, then to work with someone who can.  It is crucial to know people, know how to relate to people and talk to them about the benefits of the project.  You need to be persistent, take it day by day, have a thick skin, and not be easily discouraged.  And a dash of luck always helps.

See my answer to: What other impacts is the chicken shortage having on Britain?There is no chicken shortage.

Am writing now as Chief Civil Engineer who do not perform anymore, any hands on design and analysis. I just supervise and write - basically calling myself Pointing Engineer, because I point to whoever should do what.Upon arrival at the work place, go to the Ladies Room and fix what needs to be fixed.Go to my table and start to examine/review the documents in the Incoming files and sort them by priority.Delegate to other engineers to review and comment on the documents given to them.I then collate all the responses and review them to check for correctness and relevance to the subject matter. Then I draft the letters corresponding to each document to be replied to. Then the letters are signed by the Project Manager and sent out.I review drawings (again) that had been reviewed by other engineers to check for omissions or incorrect (very seldom) comments. Then I finalize the comments for transmitting back to the Contractor or to the Procuring Entity as necessary.Should any problem at the site arise, I conduct a site inspection together with the QA/QC and Inspectors. Take photos, to record site issues.Go back to the office and write an evaluation and type up recommendations for the Contractor to carry out.Have lunch. Take a nap after lunch. Check emails. Reply to Quora when there is time. Check a bit of Facebook/Twitter and respond if in the mood.Continue as before. Finish all letters so that there is no pending. Unless additional information is necessary before the letters can be finalized.Drink coffee - just two cups.(One at around 10am and another at around 3pm)Go home.

When buying a used car you need to check lots of things. I am listing some of the major things that you need to check.Never buy from a dealer, always prefer buying from an individual.The reason I have mentioned this particular reason is, individuals generally sell to the dealer when no one will buy directly from them, due to a lot of issues in the car, which are then temporarily fixed by the dealer to get the attraction. The price increase ratio for the same car is about 65%.Dealers get the repaint job done to make it look scratch free and adjusts all the features and functions in such a manner that the test drive is perfect and you do not get a chance to identify the flaws.Dealers sell the car with their added commission and the used car they have bought for 1lac will be sold at 1.3 to 1.5 lac.Also, they use poor quality parts if required to get those replaced, copy or local parts that impact the car’s performance and output.2. Always check for the shade variation if there are very fewer scratches, to identify the repaint job.Repaint is generally done while the person is about to sell a car or might have met an accident. It is better to buy a car with small dents and scratches than a repainted car!Remove the rubber insulators from the body once you open up the door, you will be able to see some marks if they are at an equal distance it's fine but if you find those missing there is reconstruction done post-accident.Once you remove the insulators from the door you will see a small body coloured line embossed on the door panels at the edges, if not its the accident job done.Applicable to all doors including the boot.3. Open the hood with the engine running and listen for knocks, ticks or hisses.4. Lift up the pad or carpet in the trunk and check for rust.5. Make sure you drive the vehicle above 80–85 km/hr at some point. Many front-end problems aren’t detectable at lower speeds. Does the front end shake, shimmy or vibrate?6. Does the vehicle pull to one side or the other when you accelerate? Find a large, empty parking lot. At 35 Kms per hour or so, let go of the steering wheel; does the vehicle pull to one side or the other?7. Apply the brakes; does the pedal feel squishy? Does the vehicle pull to one side or the other when braking?8. Check if Headlamps are original, do not buy Taiwanese or cheap copycat duplicate lamps.9. Always get new tyres installed after purchasing the car, never trust old tyres (my personal opinion).

To be more specific, Hawaii was an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean that was already inhabited by a group of seagoing indigenous people from the Pacific when Capt. James Cook happened to stumble into them in the late 18th century. Capt. James Cook and the crew of his ships were British subjects and the ships were flying under the British flag when they went into the harbor at Waimea, Kauai in 1778. His journeys of exploration after his initial contact in Kauai took him to Alaska but he returned to Hawaii Island’s Kealakekua. He was killed there for being an overbearing, insufferable jerk during Makahiki, an annual observance related to the god Lono. He was attempting to take the king as a hostage at that time.When Captain Cook went to Hawaii, which he unsuccessfully tried to rename the Sandwich Islands, the islands were each ruled by ali’i kings. Kamehameha had not yet unified the islands as one kingdom under his rule. The British were interested, as ever, with empire. The Hawaiians were having none of it and when Cook attempted to take the king of Hawaii Island hostage over a misunderstanding about a boat, they killed him. They honored Cook in death though and trade relations with Britain were eventually established.An interesting side note is that the British considered proselytizing for Christianity in Hawaii, they decided not to. Kamehameha’s faith in the mānā of his traditional beliefs impressed those in Cook’s ship and they decided against sending missionaries to Hawaii. It wasn’t until the US found out about the people in Hawaii that they began to send missionaries from New England.The British had a tie in the door and towards the middle of the 19th century Hawaiian royalty were considering becoming a British protectorate or colony voluntarily. By that time, US interests mainly in sugar plantations and land made sizable economic components of the Kingdom of Hawaii’s economy, sandlewood forests having by then been decimated and the labor force of Hawaiian commoners decimated as well.The second part of your “question” is a statement rather than a question:White immigrants stripped the power from their monarchy, and made a law ensuring that only they had voting rights on the islands to make it part of the USA.No that’s not really how it went down according to available sources and the sequence of events. In fact the Big 5, a group of white American missionaries cum sugar planters, had married into ali’i families. In informal agreement with the US military they plotted and executed a palace coup that deposed Queen Lili’uokalani in ‘Iolani Palace and held her under house arrest. The Americans requested that the US annex Hawaii immediately but the US refused to get officially involved for 5 years. One of the reasons that the Americans decided to overthrow the Hawaiian monarchy was the close relationship Hawaii enjoyed with Great Britain. It is said that King David Kalākua favored Hawaii becoming a British territory over the US. The state flag of Hawaii today still has a Union Jack in its design as a symbol of the relationship. But white immigrants from the US and voting rights ultimately had little to do with the US annexation of Hawaii. It was never put to a vote at that time.The formulation in your question is really simplistic. It fails to take into account many other factors involved in the demise of the Kingdom of Hawaii and the enormous complexity of the era, the decades leading up to World War I, including Japanese desire to have an outpost in the central Pacific Ocean. Immigration of “contract laborers” from China, Japan, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Mexico and several other locations began to impact Hawaii as well. The kānaka maoli had, by that time, been killed off by introduced diseases such as chicken pox, colds, alcoholism, and other diseases against which the Hawaiian people had not developed immunity. Also, the invaders, of multiple races not just white, used the native Hawaiian people as slave labor particularly in the sandlewood forests, a job that killed and crippled many Hawaiian people. King Kalākua wrote letters to other heads of state asking them to send people to Hawaii to work. Of the Japanese people, he said they were a “cognate race” with the Hawaiian people and would be used to rebuild the number of Hawaiians. The impact of immigration of people from many countries and various ethnic and racial backgrounds was a huge element in the overthrow of the monarchy. Real life historical situations are ever so much more complex than a one-factor analysis. And there were many factors involved in the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy.

How did American imperialism affect Hawaii?Awhile back, I posted an answer to the question:“How can the corporation called the United States take a country of enormous wealth and make the illegal annexation of Hawaii legal?”Much of this answer applies to the question at hand.“How can the corporation called the United States take a country of enormous wealth and make the illegal annexation of Hawaii legal?”In the state of Hawaii, the 1898 Annexation to the United States of America is still a hotly debated and frequently detested issue.According to the United States Department of State Archive:“America's annexation of Hawaii in 1898 extended U.S. territory into the Pacific and highlighted resulted from economic integration and the rise of the United States as a Pacific power. For most of the 1800s, leaders in Washington were concerned that Hawaii might become part of a European nation's empire.“During the 1830s, Britain and France forced Hawaii to accept treaties giving them economic privileges. In 1842, Secretary of State Daniel Webster sent a letter to Hawaiian agents in Washington affirming U.S. interests in Hawaii and opposing annexation by any other nation. He also proposed to Great Britain and France that no nation should seek special privileges or engage in further colonization of the islands. In 1849, the United States and Hawaii concluded a treaty of friendship that served as the basis of official relations between the parties.“A key provisioning spot for American whaling ships, fertile ground for American protestant missionaries, and a new source of sugar cane production, Hawaii's economy became increasingly integrated with the United States. An 1875 trade reciprocity treaty further linked the two countries and U.S. sugar plantation owners from the United States came to dominate the economy and politics of the islands.“When Queen Liliʻuokalani moved to establish a stronger monarchy, Americans under the leadership of Samuel Dole deposed her in 1893. The planters' belief that a coup and annexation by the United States would remove the threat of a devastating tariff on their sugar also spurred them to action. The administration of President Benjamin Harrison encouraged the takeover, and dispatched sailors from the USS Boston to the islands to surround the royal palace. The U.S. minister to Hawaii, John L. Stevens, worked closely with the new government.Dole sent a delegation to Washington in 1894 seeking annexation, but the new President, Grover Cleveland, opposed annexation and tried to restore the Queen. Dole declared Hawaii an independent republic. Spurred by the nationalism aroused by the Spanish-American War, the United States annexed Hawaii in 1898 at the urging of President William McKinley. Hawaii was made a territory in 1900, and Dole became its first governor. Racial attitudes and party politics in the United States deferred statehood until a bipartisan compromise linked Hawaii's status to Alaska, and both became states in 1959.”The Scene: Hawaii, 1893The Players: Queen Liliʻuokalani, Sanford B. DoleShe, the reigning monarchy of the Kingdom of Hawaii.He, Honolulu-born son of missionaries, honorary Legum Doctor, justice of the Supreme Court of the Kingdom of Hawaii appointed by King Kalākaua, counselor to Queen Liliʻuokalani.Prologue :Queen Liliʻuokalani ascended to the throne on January 29, 1891, nine days after her brother David Kalākaua’s death. During her reign, she attempted to draft a new constitution which would restore the power of the monarchy and the voting rights of the economically disenfranchised. *In 1892, Liliʻuokalani backed measures in the kingdom's legislature to amend or rewrite the constitution. - which limited voting rights exclusively to only the literate males of the following populations: Hawaiian, European, and American descent, excluding all others. However, the measures failed as they had during the reign of her brother before her. Among the measures that failed was an amendment that would lower the property requirement to vote so most of the general public could vote. When that was voted down, many Hawaiian citizens protested.*1893:Threatened by Liliʻuokalani attempts to abrogate the 1887 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawaii (also known as the Bayonet Constitution), pro-American elements in Hawaii led by Sanford B. Dole overthrew the monarchy on January 17, 1893. The overthrow was bolstered by the landing of US Marines under United States Minister to the Kingdom of Hawaii, John L. Stevens, to protect American interests, which rendered the monarchy unable to protect itself.*1894:The coup d'état started in 1893 established the Republic of Hawaii, placing American collaborator and Liliʻuokalani’s counselor, Sanford B. Dole, as the President of the Republic of Hawaii provisional government (later becoming the Governor of Hawaii). The ultimate goal was the annexation of the islands to the United States, which was temporarily blocked by President Grover Cleveland. After an unsuccessful uprising to restore the monarchy, the oligarchical government placed the former queen under house arrest at the ʻIolani Palace. *1895:On January 24, 1895, Liliʻuokalani abdicated the Hawaiian throne, officially ending the deposed monarchy. Attempts were made to restore the monarchy and oppose annexation, but with the outbreak of the Spanish–American War, the United States annexed the Republic of Hawaii via the Newlands Resolution. *1897:In 1897 President William McKinley signed the treaty of annexation for Hawaii, but it failed in the Senate after the 21,000 signatures of the Kūʻē Petitions (procured by horseback, boat and foot travel) were submitted. After the failure, Hawaii was annexed by means of joint resolution, called the Newlands Resolution.*1898:The Newlands Resolution was approved on July 4, 1898 and signed on July 7 by William McKinley. On August 12 of the same year, a ceremony was held on the steps of ʻIolani Palace to signify the official transfer of Hawaiian sovereignty to the United States.*Living out the remainder of her later life as a private citizen, Liliʻuokalani died at her residence, Washington Place, in Honolulu on November 11, 1917. *On November 23, 1993, the 100th anniversary of the Annexation of Hawaii, President William Clinton signed the United States Public Law 103-150, known as the Apology Resolution - a Joint Resolution of the U.S. Congress adopted in 1993 that "acknowledges that the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii occurred with the active participation of agents and citizens of the United States and further acknowledges that the Native Hawaiian people never directly relinquished to the United States their claims to their inherent sovereignty as a people over their national lands, either through the Kingdom of Hawaii or through a plebiscite or referendum" (U.S. Public Law 103-150 (107 Stat. 1510)). *The resolution has been cited as a major impetus for the Hawaiian sovereignty movement, and has been the subject of intense debate. *(*Information via Wikipedia)While Imperialism was not a new game in 1898, the fine art of conquering the world is still intriguing to those in power - playing the modern-day game of thrones.So, how could the United States annex Hawaii? With more men, guns, and legal speak than Queen Liliʻuokalani and her Hawaiian citizens could compete with.After a failed rebellion in 1895 by her supporters, Liliʻuokalani abdicated her throne in return for the release and commutation of the death sentences of her supporters (jailed as rebels). * Rather than see her beloved people suffer in bloody war over the land, the imprisoned Liliʻuokalani gave in to foreign demands at gunpoint, thus becoming the last reigning monarchy of Hawaii.Liliʻuokalani wrote about signing the document of abdication in her memoir in 1898, while under house arrest at ‘Iolani Palace:“For myself, I would have chosen death rather than to have signed it; but it was represented to me that by my signing this paper all the persons who had been arrested, all my people now in trouble by reason of their love and loyalty towards me, would be immediately released. Think of my position, — sick, a lone woman in prison, scarcely knowing who was my friend, or who listened to my words only to betray me, without legal advice or friendly counsel, and the stream of blood ready to flow unless it was stayed by my pen.” — Queen Liliʻuokalani, Hawaii's Story By Hawaii's QueenThanks for the A2A!

The Journey of a thousand miles starts with a stepIn this article, I will briefly show you my experience in taking and passing CFE EXAM.What is the CFE Exam: according to ACFE website “ The CFE Exam tests your knowledge of the four major areas that comprise the fraud examination body of knowledge: Fraud Prevention and Deterrence, Financial Transactions and Fraud Schemes, Investigation and law”.The process to take CFE ExamStep one: Reregister as a member in ACFE- Association of Certified Fraud Examination via their website.I chose Student membership, which contains some benefits. One of the benefits is I can access to Fraud Examination journal by using the association application. Another benefit of being membership is I paid the student package for prepare course that covers the exam cost for a suitable price. In addition, there are many resources on the website that I can access, such as, the documentary series of financial statements fraud and other different topics. You can find addition information about the benefit via this link.Step two: You need to know what are the CFE Qualifications,It is necessary to consider if you meet the qualifications or not so that you will start to work in meeting these qualifications. For who seeking for the answers to this questions, ACFE supplies all answers in this link. For the record, you can take the exam even if you do not have a minimum experience year which ACFE require. The system of qualifications depends on the points system which you can use via this linkStep three: Choose the material that you would like to use for studying the exam.The ACFE provide three type of resource which is the CFE Exam Prep Course,Attend the CFE Exam Review Course and the Fraud Examiners Manual.Since I had a Fraud Examination class, the book that we use in this class is The first material I used to study for the exam. the book called - Principles of Fraud Examination- ( 4th Edition, ISBN-13: 978-1118922347, ISBN-10: 1118922344). This book covers approximately 60% of the exam. I totally recommend it as a first material to use for the study. Even though the book uses many of the Fraud Examiners manual’s content, it is easier and more briefly than the manuals book. However, the book does not cover a lot of the law section and some components of the other three sections. So, you need another manual resource to cover the remained topics.From ACFE’s resource I chose the CFE Exam Prep Course because I am a student, and I want to have more flexible to manage my time. Also, from my prospective, the exam will be from the notes of the course, but I can not guaranty this point. I also use the Fraud Examiners Manual because I believe the more you read about the topics, the more you understand rate will increase. To be honest, reading the book helped me to calm down my pressure during studying and taking the exam. If you can not read the book, I recommend knowing at least the structure of the primary information on each topic. For more detail about the Exam resources, please visit this linkMoreover, I Signed up for the CFE Exam newsletter in order to be aware of any update for the Exam, take the short exam, read the study tips which the newsletter provide it. Also, I Joined the ACFE Community to read about other experience of the exam. Finally, I watched several of documentary series that you can find it on the association websitesStep four: Plan your timeline for study the CFE EXAMACFE provide CFE Exam Study Plan, which you can look at in this link. The plans depend on day base. In short, there are three kinds of the plan To Complete the CFE Exam Prep Course. You can choose to complete it within 30 Days, 60 days, or 90 days. I chose plan three that is completed the course within 90 days to be applied to have a balance between study for the exam and study my master degree courses. I studied 25 question daily, and I wrote my notes in documents. Then, I read whatever I can read from the Fraud Examiners Manual before I went to sleep or at the beginning of the days. At the end of each week, I reviewed everything I studied during the week from the notes the I took before. If I finish a section, I rearview all that I studied, then took the pre-exam to measure my performance.Step five: Apply for the CFE ExamThe good news is you can take the Exam online, but qualified persons must observe you. So, you need to arrange this point during your studying to avoid any postponement in your plan. Not only you need to arrange the observing person for the exam, but also you need to have three recommendations to get the key of the exam. Everything you need you for to get the key of the exam can find it in these links the CFE Exam application and the supporting documentation to complete your application.Step six : Taking the CFE ExamIf your plan to take each part of the exam separately, like what I did, this was my plan. Before the day of each exam, I spend two days review the exam from my notes. Then I took one part. After that, I reviewed second part for two days, and so on.As I mentioned before, the CFE Exam contains four sections. Each part will have 125 questions, and The unique technique in this exam is “Each section is allocated a maximum of 2.6 hours to complete. Each of the four exam sections has 125 questions, and you will have a maximum of 75 seconds to answer each question”. In other words, you can spend more than 75 seconds in each question. However, I had no problem is this situation since I prepare well for the exam, and I used two techniques that I think work with me manage the time of answers the questions.The first technique, when I read a question, I see if I know the answer before I read the choices. After that, I do not read all the answer. I just look for the exact answer that I know and choose it. For example,1. I will read a question:Baker, a cash register attendant at a department store, regularly inflates a number of customer refunds. For instance, if a customer returns an item for $100, Baker records a $150 refund. Then Baker gives the customer $100 and keeps $50 for himself. This scheme is known a2. I will ask myself if I know the answer before I read the choices. For this question, I believe the answer is An overstated refund scheme.3. I do not read all the answer; I just look for the exact answer that I know or the closest one.Cash LarcenyAn overstated refund scheme ( The correct answer )A fictitious refund schemeSkimmingThe second technique I use this technique If I am not sure about my answer. the technique is while I read each of four answers, I immediately delete any wrong answer until I signNow the correct answer. For example,1. I read the questionEd Smith, a city commissioner, negotiated a land development deal with a group of private investors. After the deal was approved, the investors rewarded Smith with an all-expenses-paid vacation. Which of the following is the most appropriate term to describe what has taken place?2. I will read and think if this answer is the correct answer, and why?Economic extortionThis answer is wrong because Economic extortion defines as is defined as “ the obtaining of property from another, with the other party’s consent induced by wrongful use of actual or threatened force or fear.” So, I will eliminate it.2.Need recognitionThis answer is not correct because need recognition occurs when procurement employee convinces his employer that it needs excessive or unnecessary products or services. So, I will eliminate it.3. Illegal GratuityThis answer is correct because illegal gratuity is defined as are items of value given to reward a decision, often after the recipient has made the decision.4.CollusionFor more information visit this link: http://www.acfe.com/details-taki...As you can see, the process are not long or complex to pass the CFE Exam. Before one month, I pass the CFE exam, but I have not been certified of fraud examiner yet. I am seeking for two years experiences to get the license. I recommend if you are interested in Certified of Fraud Examiner, take step forward and apply for CFE Exam.If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.Thank you for finish reading my post.

I think it is reasonable for QUORA to employ the standards of published nonfiction writing, “reasoned, rational, and referenced (sourced).” Self-plagerism is a “no no, ” not just in academia, but serious media, publishing industry, and the law.My Quoran peer ask for example from the New York Times -- Slavoj Žižek On 'Self Plagiarism' in The New York Times: What's the Big Deal?If following the self-plageriasm prohibition is an issue than QUORA is probably not a good fit.[End blockquote]The consequences of self-plagerism include:Misleading the reader by ommision that this is an original answerInadvertent intellectual property violations when the writers' words include analysis and synthesis from other sourcesScholarly and Journalistic fraud by recycling portions into smaller publications to increase reported productivityDevelop a bad habit that an employer or client would find problematic if found outInclusion of irrelevant or out-of-date material from cut and paste habitProfessional and personal ethics violationHow hard is it to say, “as noted in a previous answer, comment, or blog … ”?As noted in a Comment to Shawn McCaslin[Begin blockquotes ]Self-plagerism is a “no, no” in any serious writing from acadamia to research reports to journalism to legal works when sourced material is an expected part of the written or oral presentation.For QUORA, simply referencing this is a resuse of answer or commnent is probably sufficient but I usually Google my answer and include the link -- too many years in academia.In formal works, a full citation is included in the references and in-text citations (like Wikipedia) else it is self-plagerism. QUORA expects to be a reputable source of knowledge; therefore, it holds writers to the same standards of academic and research writing. It is not a 4F (Friends, Family, & Foes, Forum) .Many questions on QUORA run a fine line between whatrequires a reasoned opinion andone that requires,a reasoned,referenced,substantiated answer.In my full answer that will acknowledge and include this comment, I discuss the consequences of self-plagerism.What is self-plagerism?“The reuse of signNow, identical, or nearly identical portions of one's own work without acknowledging that one is doing so or citing the original work is sometimes described as "self-plagiarism"; the term "recycling fraud" has been used.” Wikipediahttps://www.quora.com/Is-Quoras-...-Self-Plagiarism- WriteCheckTurnitin - Is Recycling Your Own Work Plagiarism?Source: What Is Self Plagiarism and How to Avoid It The Ethics of Self-Plagerism https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&...https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/927...Self-plagerism and Fair Use https://www.google.com/url?q=http://scholar.google.com/schola...Is self-plagiarism illegal? | QUORA[End blockquotes ]Comment Discussion -- clarifying my position“[Begin blockquotes ]> The relevance is they want to be a credible source; thus they must try to adhere to the norms of academic, journalistic, and legal writing.>>[1]Who wants that?
