OVERVIEW: Develop a 4-6 page specific, actionable self-development plan to increase your personal effectiveness. RESOURCES: INSTRUCTIONS: Scenario For Assessment 4, you gave a presentation for upper management on strategies for approaching change in teams and groups. Your immediate supervisor attended and afterward congratulated you on all the change leadership you have recently provided. She lets you know that for the next several weeks you will be back on her individual staff development initiative. For starters, she wants you to draft a staff development plan that can help train more change leaders to make the kinds of contributions you have been making lately! Using the results of the Agile Leadership Self-Assessment, create a self-development plan that includes the following: Identify personal change-related leadership competencies targeted for development. Consider one or two competencies to focus on for this assessment.Support with a rationale the importance of each identified change-related leadership competency.Develop an action plan for each change-related leadership competency. Include at least four actionable steps for each identified competency.Explain action steps for improving each change-related leadership competency. Be as specific as you can in explaining your deliberate experimentation for increasing your effectiveness.Develop a timeline for each action step, including a target date for assessing progress. Use the next six-month period for your timeline. Your development plan should be written coherently to support a central idea. Use appropriate APA format, with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics as expected of a business professional. Deliverable Format Length: 4–6 pages.Written communication: Demonstrate graduate-level writing skills through accurate communication of thoughts that convey the overall goals of the assessment and do not detract from the message.Formatting: Use APA formatting, including correct in-text citations, proper punctuation, double spacing throughout, proper headings and subheadings, no extra line spaces before headings and subheadings, proper paragraph and block indentation, no bolding, one-inch margins all around, and no bullets.Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.

Competency Evaluate the proper accounting for transactions with respect to interim and segment reporting using the accounting codification and other accounting research tools. Scenario CM Corporation (CMC) was founded six years ago by Phil Connor and Eric Martin. The company designs, installs, and services security systems for high-tech companies. The founders, who describe themselves as "entrepreneurial geeks," met in a computer lab when they were teenagers and found they had common interests in working on security systems for critical industries. CMC hired you as a junior accountant this year. Lately, Connor and Martin have been working with "radio frequency identification" (RFID) technology. They have developed a detailed system designed to track inventory items using RFID tags embedded invisibly in products. This technology has numerous inventory applications in multiple industries. One of the most basic applications is tracking manufacturing components; if tagged components "go walking" (if employees attempt to take them), companies can easily track and find them. Connor and Martin have sold their system to several high-tech companies in the area. These companies have a number of government contracts that require extensive security systems to protect sensitive data from infiltration by terrorists and others. To date, CMC's cash flow from sales and services has adequately funded its operations. CMC expects much growth potential for its products. As a result, they are considering going public and expanding internationally in the near future. Many of the issues you will address in this course project involve researching topics involving these anticipated events. Instructions Connor and Martin have heard that IFRS is used internationally for financial statements, but they know very little about it. Since they will most likely be going public and expanding internationally in the near future, they are considering switching to IFRS from GAAP and would like more information. They also realize if they go public and expand their business, they will have to deal with some issues they have not had to deal with previously, such as interim and segment reporting. Prepare a research memorandum for Connor and Martin addressing their questions below: What are the similarities between GAAP and IFRS? What are the major differences between GAAP and IFRS? What are the requirements for interim reporting under both GAAP and IFRS? Are there any problems or issues associated with interim reporting? What are the advantages and disadvantages of providing segmented reporting? What are the requirements for segment reporting under both GAAP and IFRS? Include the definition of an operating segment. Memorandum Mechanics should be as follows: The body of the memorandum should be a professional presentation centered on clear and concise writing. The responses to the questions should be detailed, well researched, and specifically related to CMC's industry. Use the FASB Codification and IFRS to address all technical accounting issues presented in the questions, being certain to reference the applicable sections of the Codification and IFRS in your report. You may quote directly from the Codification and IFRS as long as all direct quotes are included in quotation marks. Any other sources used to support your responses should similarly be properly documented. You should have other credible sources in addition to the Codification and IFRS.
