What is a Budget?Controlling costs is an important aspect of business. Some individuals may determine that this is the single most important aspect of a financial position in an organization. A budget is an estimate of how much your costs will be for a given period. In finance and accounting, a very important aspect of accounting is to create a budget (an estimate of costs) and then compare the actual costs to the budget. The actual costs can typically be retrieved from your accounting software.The reports that are generated from accounting software are not always user friendly. In many cases, there is nowhere for a budget to be entered. What happens when you have an expense in a category where there was no budget? By using a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel, you can translate the report data into any format that you like. For example, you can group all of the different expense accounts based on a particular project. The possibilities are endless with the flexibility of a spreadsheet program.Your assignment is to create a one-year budget (forecast) as a team in Excel, based on the real estate company you set up. As a team you can decide when/if you would like to do the following real estate transactions. You will explain your decisions in your team\’s analysis paper.
Unit VI PowerPoint Presentation Fire Prevention Program For this assignment, you will be developing a Fire Prevention Program that you will present via PowerPoint. You will draw ideas from both your occupational and educational experiences and knowledge. These are familiar surroundings, which are likely to aide in your development of a program of fire prevention and life safety. Provided below is a brief scenario to get you started. Scenario: You have been a member of your organization’s Fire Prevention and Life Safety division for a number of years, and you have just completed several college level courses relating to fire prevention and occupational safety and health with an online university. You have presented your most recent grade records to your supervisor who is very impressed with your accomplishments. In light of your achievement in these courses, your supervisor has assigned you the task of creating a formal Fire Prevention and Life Safety Presentation to be composed for presentation to various civic organizations such as Lions Club, Kiwanis, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, and the local Elks Lodge. Your primary target audiences will be comprised mainly of adults therefore your presentation must be designed and geared for the adult learner. Your supervisor asks you to put together a slide presentation using the Five-Step Program model given by Diamantes (pp. 168-170 of your textbook). Your final presentation will provide your supervisor details of your process used in assembling the presentation. A minimum of three slides must be devoted to each of the five-steps. Be innovative, creative, and remember this is the first step in the overall process of creating a presentation worthy of public viewing and interest. This presentation will be seen by ONLY your supervisor (at this time); however, you must make an impression that confirms you have the “right stuff” to venture out for formal presentations to civic organizations. Keep in mind that your organization has never embarked on such a project. You are the first, and as such, you want to ensure that your supervisor views a clear and concise series of slides. It is intended that once you have mastered the concepts and mechanics of the five-step process, your supervisor will, in all likelihood, assign you the additional task of composing a formal slide presentation that will include specific elements relative to fire prevention measures intended to education the public in both civic organizations as well as the public-at-large. Treat your PowerPoint slides like any research paper—provide in-text citations and a reference slide for any outside sources including direct quotations, paraphrased words or ideas, tables and data, and images. Your completed presentation should contain the following: A title slide (title, your name, and your organization’s name); 15-20 slides detailing your Fire Prevention Program; and a reference slide (minimum of three references should be used to complete this assignment, not including the textbook, and be sure to utilize the Online Library). Be sure to make use of the Notes area of each slide to contain your own narration, as each slide should be brief and concise. Notes are used during presentations and are not seen by the viewers. Information about accessing the Blackboard Grading Rubric for this assignment is provided below I also have a ppp that I purchased that does not have citation in the body that needs fixed.
Chapter 1 of the text highlights the nine properties of life. Briefly describe each of the nine properties and discuss how things like a virus, prion, and viroid can reproduce, but are not considered to be alive. Address the question: how can things like these that are not considered to be alive “evolve”?Your assignment should be 250-500 words in length.

1.Describe the initiation of the OT process at your site including referral, screening and initial assessment. Describe the caseload, for example population served and number of clients treated on OT caseload per day/week. Include any pertinent job functions of the occupational therapist outside of treating their case load.( 3 paragraphs)
The initiation of the OT process at Independent assisted Living (IALs), memory care facility, and IAL for nuns starts with referral patient by the MD. Also OT participated in the each facility meeting ones a week where managers, director go over progress or regress of each patient and OT can focus if somebody need help too, then usually she give patient information to her assistant, who is getting more information from the doctor. Most of the patients in these facilities come from home.
During the initial evaluation the OT assess through DaSH, Barthex, SPADI and use depended on the pt independency of ADLs and IADLs, also assess ROM and strength, muscle tone, MMT. The OT does not use a cognitive assessment; she thinks that is inappropriate to use it, because in pt history tells that she/he has dementia, or cognitive impairment. All of the ADLs are rated on the FOM scale. OT uses Wedoc documented program.
Mostly of the patients have shoulder injury and urinary incontinence. Usually OT works with 2-3 units twice a week for each patient. IAL facility has 9 caseload, the memory community has 2 caseloads and nuns community have 5 caseloads. Overall OT has 8 caseloads per day.
The population is about 65 and + years old, they joke that some of them just older, then elder, then elderly elderly 90+. At the nuns community are only elder women.
OT who I work with is responsible for educating patients about supply and adaptive equipment and assists them with any help. Some previous patients, who were discharge long time ago, sometimes visit her and ask for advice or help with installing in the right place grab bar or change the walker length. She does massage with bio freeze for patients or coworker who has neck or shoulder pain. Also last week was a wellness week, where each facility has a one-hour spa treatment. OT was the leader of that idea and participated as well. Also she buys from her own pocket bio freeze or hot cold pack, for patient who is going to travel.
A strategy audit involves assessing the actual direction of a business and comparing that course to the direction required to succeed in a changing environment. A company\’s actual direction is the sum of what it does and does not do, how well the organization is internally aligned to support the strategy, and how viable the strategy is when compared to the external market, competitors, and financial realities. These two categories, the internal assessment and the external or environmental assessment, make up the major elements of a strategy audit. In your strategy audit: You are to write this report as though you are a consultant to your company, and are addressing the executive officers of this company. You will collect and analyze a large amount of data in producing your report, but your final product will be condensed and focus on presenting your analysis findings and conclusions. Your report should consist of the following sections in the given order.Use information from your previous assignments to support your conclusions and recommendations and conduct additional research when needed. Make sure you properly reference and cite so that the location of information is clear. Submit your 15-page report in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Finalize the companion with a 10-slide Power Point Presentation that summarizes the audit and recommendations in a compelling manner that persuades senior management to explore and possibly implement your recommendations. The elements of the presentation should include the following:
