Security Management- Due Monday-Origional work- 500 words

 

You have just been hired as a training coordinator for a large security organization that was previously using an outside organization to develop the majority of its training. Although management has realized the advantages of the organization having its own in-house training program, they are also of the opinion that the lower level security supervisors and officers might not be as accepting of this new training coordinator. They have asked you to prepare a presentation to the security supervisors explaining this new initiative, with the understanding that the security supervisors will then relate this information back to the officers who work directly for them.

 

You have decided there are several key areas that you want to review with the supervisors. Respond to the questions below, explaining how you will develop a response in your training program for the security supervisors. Keep in mind that your paper should be 500 words in length, not counting the cover sheet, abstract, and reference section, and that the paper should meet all APA standards and requirements.

Identify any constraints relating to the decision (e.g., personal standards, societal norms, professional ethical standards, other professional standards) and analyze the course of action’s likely effects.

ADHERE TO THE SET DEADLINE.

Use APA template that is attached.

 

 

Today you had lunch with your friend Sarah Teasdale. Sarah has worked with Zaird & Associates, CPAs, for about two years. You’ve been with Zaird for only nine months. You discussed with her your difficulties in getting jobs done in the budgeted number of hours. Sarah said, “Yeah, that’s a problem. You’ll get quicker with experience, but—don’t tell anyone I told you this—some of those audit programs are pretty awful and include some pretty outdated and even some stupid procedures. Sometimes I just sign the program, but skip doing the procedure. I don’t do this often, but sometimes the procedure isn’t capable of detecting anything.” You said little to her after this, but are now thinking about whether you need to become more “practical” about how you perform your work.

  1. Identify your problem here.
  2. Identify your possible courses of action. For each of these courses, identify any constraints relating to the decision (e.g., personal standards, societal norms, professional ethical standards, other professional standards) and analyze the course of action’s likely effects.
  3. Select the best course of action.

Your paper should be 3-4 pages in length. Follow APA format, according to CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements. Include a title page and reference page. Use two outside academic sources other than the textbook, course materials, or other information provided as part of the course materials.
