Interpersonal Conflict in Film
The process by which messages are shared between two or more people is called Interpersonal communication. Haggis P. directed Crash is an intense film which mainly portrays the conflicts that arise between individuals who come from different backgrounds. A variety of situations are involved which show the conflicts between people and struggles in racial discrimination arising due to racial discrimination in the modern Los Angeles. Out of these situations the one which caught my attention the most was the miscommunication between the locksmith and the store owner, which later leads to retaliation. The conflict grows with the store owner’s failure at understanding what the lock smith was trying to communicate.. In this paper, I will identify the conflict that occurred in interpersonal communication and that it was not handled properly and will also describe how it could be handled properly and differently to prevent it from occurring.
The conflict starts with the storeowner whose name is Farhad, hiring Daniel the locksmith for replacing the “broken lock of his door. Daniel replaces the broken lock as he was asked to do and then tries to explain to Farhad that it was not the lock that was broken but the door and it needed repair. However Farhad misinterpreted Daniel because of lingual differences and thought that Daniel was trying to take advantage and due to this an argument ensues. Farhad refuses to pay for the lock because the door was still broken even when Daniel tries to make it clear that he could only repair locks and not doors. Daniel in this case tries to clarify that someone should be called to repair the door, but Farhad again misunderstands him and does not listen to what he is saying.
Farhad refuses to pay for the lock since the door is still broken even though Daniel makes several attempts to explain that he only repairs locks, not doors. Daniel clarifies that it was necessary to call someone else to repair the door, but Farhad does not listen.
Farhad, on returning to his store, the next day, realizes that he had been vandalized. He puts the blame on Daniel and returns to his house later with a gun with the purpose to seek revenge. As Daniel returns home, an altercation begins between them. While they stand there arguing outside, Daniel’s young daughter runs outside behind his ignoring his scream when he asks her to remain inside. While Farhad is firing the gun at Daniel, she jumps straight into her father’s arms. Daniel holds his daughter in his hands and starts to cry. Farhad is struck at what he had done. He drops his gun. But, fortunately, the bullets loaded in the gun were blank. The girl opened her eyes and asked her father if he was alright. Daniel is relieved to find her alright. He goes inside with his daughter, but Farhad is still shocked at what he had done.
She jumps into her father’s arms right as Farhad is firing a gun at her father. He grabbed his daughter and starts to cry. Farhad drops the gun in disbelief because of what he had done. Fortunately, the bullets that were shot were blanks. After awhile, the little girl looked up and asked her father if he was ok. Daniel is relived that his daughter is ok. Daniel went inside with his daughter and Farhad was in shock with what he had done.
In this scenario, due to the misinterpretation of the communication between Farhad and Daniel, it gave rise to an interpersonal conflict between them. Farhad had misunderstood completely when Daniel was trying to explain that he did not repair doors, but locks. The misunderstanding was due to two reasons, first due to the language barrier and second due to the racial tension. Farhad did not understand English well and tried to explain in his own language, but it gave rise to anger and tension between them. Farhad’s failure to communicate properly also makes the situation intense.
If in the given situation, Farhad had tried to listen carefully, it would have helped and the interpersonal conflict that occurred could have been prevented. According to Sole, K (2011), “Listening requires focus and attention, and failure to listen is one of the key causes of miscommunication”. The situation could also have been prevented if Farhad had not interrupted while Daniel was speaking and had let him explain it. Farhad while trying to dominate the conversation fails at communicating properly and thus it gives rise to an unnecessary argument. Also, since Farhad was being hostile while talking it made it difficult for both to make their point clear.
In my view empathic assertion would have helped at avoiding this conflict. According to Sole, K. (2011) “With an empathetic assertion, you state your own needs and wants but also recognize that the other person has needs or feelings as well”. Had they been more empathic towards each other the situation could have been handled properly. Moreover, after Daniel noticed that Farhad is upset about his lock, he could have responded in a different manner by explaining his understanding for Farhad’s reasons for acting so aggressively. Frhad too, in the case should have responded differently and remained calm instead of shouting at Daniel which had resulted in the intense argument.
Interpersonal Communication takes place in various styles and is a way to communicate our messages between one another. The conflict between Farhad and Daniel could not be handled properly and therefore, ends with retaliation because of a simple miscommunication. This lack of communication could not happened, had Farhad and Daniel communicated appropriately and clearly, in a calm manner. I believe that interpersonal communication is significant for developing and maintaining healthy relationships.

International Issues in Accounting and Auditing
Introduction
Recent developments in accounting, auditing, and financial reporting places much emphasis on practical application of standards, authoritative pronouncements influencing practitioners within small, medium, and privately run businesses. Accountants and auditors should be applying technical accounting and auditing pronouncements with the aim of advising companies to relate with issues of implementation. The Securities and Exchange Commission initiated some whistle blower rules, which relate to a language that does not include external auditors. Many corporate attorneys are of the opinion that many loopholes which auditors can apply to get complaints against clients to the Securities and Exchange Commission to obtain fat rewards (Koniak, George, & Ross, 2010).
According to Bumiller, (2002), audit experts and software vendors have advocated for the continuous monitoring and continuous auditing, but still many wrong things happen with the corporate America. To monitor and test key controls in financial reporting to be continuous, may enable mistakes to be detected early and resolved before many material errors in financial statements are achieved. So much is happening in the international accounting scene, the Financial Standards Board sanctioned exposure of drafts on leases, revenue, and financial instruments. Many public opinions are coming in, and intense debates are expected in the near future. Some developments have also been seen that maybe have significant effects on the accounting world in the long term.
Since October 2004, many occurrences have taken place in the areas of international accounting and auditing. The topics dealt with implementing IASB and IFAC standards and corresponding challenges in regulation, international harmonization and convergence, issues related to applying fair value for financial reporting, risks and vulnerabilities, and it is of essence that constructive dialogue continues among stakeholder in the chain of financial reporting. Accounting and auditing scandals have hit press headlines in the recent past, and other negative developments in the practice of auditing and accounting. In this light, there is a new resolve to improve processes of standards setting, so that untainted accounting, auditing, and disclosures practices of firms together with their respective auditors are a thing of the past. Banking supervisors and central banks must enhance shape improvement in accounting and auditing issues that affect the institutions that they supervise (Mathews, 2007; Bauer, &, Fenn, 1973).
Auditing and accounting issues in times of economic distress include asset valuation and impairment, troubled debt restructurings, violations of debt operations, discontinued operations, going concern, subsequent events, and risks and uncertainties.
The Value of an Audit
The role of auditing has come to closer scrutiny in line with unprecedented international financial upheavals in the last couple of years with many stakeholders questioning the value of audit. Most of the attention has been directed to the large end of the profession involving banks and major financial institutions, but problems also exist within the small and medium enterprises. Auditing is more of a voluntary activity, and so there is need to show the value it imparts on businesses (Owen & Adams, 1996; Crowther, 2000).
The profession of accounting re examines the role of audit and puts up a strong case for the benefits that auditing provides to organisations, economy, and society as a whole. Auditing plays a key role as a source of public confidence within financial reporting. Auditing roles have long been considered as some kind of a routine chore or a simple statutory obligation for companies that are listed. Many high profile corporate failures have led to the Sarbanes –Oxley legislation in the USA, and scrutiny of competition level and choice in the audit market within the UK. These effects have put auditing activities in the spot light on the agenda of the media, regulators, and legislators. For medium sized firms with turnovers less than $500 million have leveraged the audit to return maximum value and insights to the companies, the level of relationships they have with the auditor, and the importance associated with the audit by the organisation and its stakeholders (Gray, Owen &, Maunders, 1987).
An audited financial report has standard financial information, other footnotes, and the opinion letter. The opinion letter is a surety of professional opinion on the financial report accuracy, and not an assessment of future prospects or financial condition of a company. The accuracy of the financial report provided by a company is determined by verification and scrutiny, where verification depends on the auditor’s ability to value the assets and the liabilities, known as checking account balance. So audits have a number of limitations, if assets that do not have a ready market such as privately held organisations, real estate, and hedge fund investments. Auditors will use the information available to them, thus mortgage relate d asset values will be based on faulty information and various assumptions. However, Wayne, (2004) most non profit organisations view auditing as a routine to go through quickly instead of as an opportunity to widen transparency and improvement of financial controls.
Bank and Financial Institution Failures
Norris, &, Liptak, (2010) states that a bank failure or financial institution failure happens when the bank or the financial institution cannot meet its obligations to its depositors, and other creditors, since it is insolvent and illiquid to meet its liabilities. Most banks failed in 2008, while in 1989 five hundred and thirty four failures were recorded. In 2008, bank and thrift failures were seventeen and seven of these completely collapsed, and were rescued by government. Some came close to failing and were rescued by other banks. The economic situation contributed some factors to the current losses and failures such as the changes in housing market, and increased origination of home loans. When the market got tighter, most securities and collateral debt obligations stopped trading. Increases in securitization of loans and accounting for these securities led to dramatic losses. This saucerisation left many lenders holding the bag, there were no buyers left when they had originated mortgages which they had an intention to sell (Jupe, 2009).
Corporate Fraud
Corporate failures due to fraud were registered in both private and public corporate governance failures. This occurred in the US, UK, and all over the world. Major incidents in the UK covered Maxwell, Guinness, Poll peck, BCCI, Coloroll, and Baring Bank. Major international incidents that involved corporate governance issues include Enron, WorldCom, Eurostat, Parmalat, Madoff, Xerox, Penn Station, Allied Irish bank, and Hollinger International.
Enron
Enron executives robbed the bank, and Arthur Anderson drove the getaway car. Arthur and Enron got involved in illegal; acts such as obstruction of justice and document destruction. Enron had a glittering performance between 1985 and 2001. The gas and pipeline company that moved to a financial and energy trading company. By 2000, it generated revenues of about $100 billion, and the stock market value was $60 billion. It was praised for its success and innovation. This is a classic case of counting chickens before the eggs hatched.
Their signs of distress started when they relied on non recurring items, such as asset sales. They changed their core business to energy derivatives trading, which saw their trading margins falling from 5.3% in 1998 to 1.7% in early 2001. The key players during this period were Jeff Skilling, Kenneth Lay, Andrew Fastow, and Michale Kopper. Arthur Anderson was the auditor and the whistle blower was Sharon Watkins. The final fall could be attributed to fraud and material misstatements, over gearing, extensive use of debt capital, insider trading such as making hay while the sun shines, money laundering, creative accounting, and an illustration of information asymmetry together with agency problems. However, Koniak, George, & Ross, (2010), the auditing profession was adversely affected, high standards of integrity and ethical issues of the US capital market. The company’s accounting system was not in cognisant with transparency, the restated accounts recorded profits that were never real.
SEC’s investigations to the auditors work were not beyond reproach. The company extremely cooked its books in an imaginable manner; with the directors working to cheat with the figures substantial amounts of debts were removed from the books, significant liabilities were never disclosed, the auditors destroyed the files, and the auditors feigned ignorance to the wrong things that were going on. The auditors had gross conflict of interest such as where shareholders were to appoint independent auditors, the senior management subjectively replaced their appointments; cosy friendly cartel like relationships infringed on corporate governance that saw consultancy and auditing being intertwined (Oliverio, 1999).
The solutions that were reached to bail out Enron were a total reorganisation of the auditing structure that saw the following measures being met: The audit committees were awarded stronger non executive powers, consultancy work and auditing was separated, rotation of auditors was implemented, and regulation of the auditing profession wised moved away from self regulation. Enron’s case had a profound effect on the US economy that saw some legislative changes being made such as the Sarbanes or the Oxley Act 2002 was enacted, Mr. Anderson was convicted of obstruction of justice, the public and the shareholders lost confidence in the auditing profession, on how Enrol fooled so many people. Regulation was enforced and replaced voluntary corporate governance. The problems in 2007 arose from the difficulties banks were facing to raise funds in the money market; they faced a liquidity problem since institutional lenders sceptic about the credit crunch in the US the global financial crisis or the recession (Kuschnik, 2008, pp64–95)
Northern Rock Plc
Northern Rock plc is owned and operated by Virgin Money, in the UK. This British bank was best known as the first bank in one hundred and fifty years to suffer a bank run. In the 2007 credit crunch, they had approached the bank of England for a loan to replace money market funding. It failed to find a buyer, and then it was forced to go public in 2008. Virgin Money bought it later in 2012 (Douglas, 1997).
The auditing practices could be equalled to economic elites who have brainwashed the politicians and policy makers. The company escaped retribution when it gave poor value for money when they engage in social misbehaviours. The banking crisis was caused by accounting firms enjoying state guaranteed market of company audits. In the UK, 2.5 million pounds existed in limited liability, and between 2002 and 2008, one hundred companies paid 2142 pounds in audit fees, and another $2159 pounds in consultancy services. They misadvised banks in forming special purpose vehicles, tax avoidance schemes, securitization, and restricting transactions, all factors that contributed directly to the crisis. They gave a clean bill of health with their own cooked accounts, even after whistle blowers noticed the risk profile of the bank, the auditors compromised their professional integrity and ethics, and as aid all was well. The auditors pulled a whole #23 million in consultancy fees and audits. The auditing experts cannot guarantee the survival of a bank, but they had a moral duty to compare audits to a health check, and are expected to work independently of the firms which they are auditing with reasonable care and skill (Bumiller, 2002).
Ellen &, Newman (1996) argue that Northern Rock was rescued from collapse by the UK taxpayers, as the auditors continued with their professional mal practices for huge amounts of consultancy and auditing fees. The auditors were easily manipulated by the management into allowing intoxicated assets to be reported as good and state profits which have not been realized. A whooping $5 trillion in assets and liabilities could not be traced from Northern Rock balance sheets. The missing gap is that none of these auditing companies have been investigated for their shortcomings in the banking crisis (Dye, Balachandran, &, Magee, 1989; Wyatt, 1997; United States General Accounting Office, 1996).
Professional firms such as KPMG, Deloitte & Touche, and price water house coopers raked in a global income of $95 billion, which ranks them as the 54th largest economy in the world. They also provide auditing services to all major banks; it is this huge income that they used to colonize politicians and regulators. They made cosy friends and interchanged auditing with consultancy. They wined and dined with politician from the labour party to enable them win huge consultancy contracts. KPMG admitted in 2005 of a criminal wrong doing for peddling tax evasion schemes of which they were fined $456 in the US. In 2009, their former partner was found with crimes of a conspiracy to defraud tax authorities, of which they pleaded guilty. These firms have secretive anti social auditing practices that span more fields than just tax evasion. Questions of integrity, effectiveness, and independence of these firms can be related to organisational culture where profits over rides virtues and ethics. There have been no major headlines breaking scandals exposed by these accounting firms that have made them bend rules as they wish for profits sake. There are also no auditing standards to ensure ethical and integrity issues are upheld about the public accountability of auditing companies (Piotroski, &,Srinivasan, 2008).
Regulators in the UK have been behaving like they don’t have the means to implement their purpose, and continue twiddling their thumbs. The same regulators have vested interest in the auditing firms, as they are the same personnel found in accounting firms. The auditing industry has subjected the distressed banks to treatment of toxic debts, off balance sheet accounting, dubious asset values, and questionable business models. Auditors have failed to return value for money in terms of the fees that they charge, they are supposed to advice their clients, the big fees that they receive from the corporate barons cannot make them independent.
Regulators should come out of the closet and take direct responsibility for auditing banks and financial institutions the regulators should use the auditors as their watchers, so that they do not hide under the cover of working with clients in confidentiality. These types of rogue auditors should not be consultant to the banking and financial institutions society. The auditors should be in a situation where they do owe duty of care to the regulators. The National Audit Office should take up the authority to ensure that all the auditors practicing are efficient, effective, and deliver a value for money to their clients. The House of Commons should also be able to inspect audit files by these accounting firms. This would provide a mitigating agent to cleaning up the auditing and accounting industry, to ensure that they do not engage in socially unattractive practices. Rather than involving themselves in corrupt activities that only servers the purpose of lining their pockets.
It is a great wonder that audit companies never raised any red flag when these corrupt and non transparent activities were taking place, whereas they should be the guardians of the shareholders in terms of openness and accountability. The current auditing systems is ridden with immense poverty of standard auditing require nets. Successive political leaders and opinion shapers should take the lead of discouraging this well oiled lobby of the technocrats, who fat their wallets with feather dusted audits that compromise integrity.
Conclusion
Auditing should be an independent verification of the accuracy of the financial accounts, to add value to separation of ownership and control, third party investment, generating government revenue, ensuring credit worthiness, ensure corporate social responsibility, and ensure effective stakeholder protection.

Habitat and Biodiversity Loss
In ecology, the term habitat means the resources in which the wildlife exists, and therefore this is what the wild animals majorly depend on for their growth and existence. It is known as the home to wild animals and other bio-diversity. Consequently, it is an important aspect of discussion about ecology and issues that affect ecology. On the other hand, bio-diversity is the combination of living things in the world and mainly the parts that form this life and which are considered important.
Bio-diversity lives within a habitat, and it is very much related to the habitat. Habitat and biodiversity loss is a situation whereby biodiversity is in danger due to the encroachments of human beings into their habitats (Hunt & Wall, 47). This paper, therefore, discusses this encroachment of human beings towards bio-diversity and how the work of human beings affects and accelerates the loss of biodiversity. Consequently, the paper also discusses the different efforts made towards ensuring that the loss of bio-diversity is counteracted and how other methods of countering the loss of bio-diversity are possible and what this means for human beings’ lives (Hunt & Wall, 40).
Human beings accelerate the process of losing biodiversity. Therefore, it is a process that has a lot of negative impacts on human beings and the environment. Bio-diversity is lost when human beings encroach on the wildlife and general biodiversity in the world. Human beings do this for several reasons and are pushed by different factors. Even though there is still a vast land that is not used, there is still a larger piece of land upon which human beings still desire and are in the process of trying to capture and reach unto. These efforts are driven by a desire to get into the world of wild animals and know them better or create more space for the activities of human beings.
In the desire of the human beings to settle in varied places whereby there is nature and experience the type of environment they need, they end up making the bio-diversity their home whereby they both live together with the other bio-diversity. Therefore human beings are willing to make sure that biodiversity does not just exist but also supports them in all manner of things possible. However, of focus here is the settlement of human beings. The population of human beings continues to grow every day. Therefore, with the increasing population every day, human beings are sometimes forced by circumstances to clear trees, destroy bio-diversity and make themselves places to live in as the available spaces and areas are not easily possible for them to live due to excess numbers of people. However, apart from the settlement issues, human beings are sometimes just attracted to living in areas that are green or rather full of wildlife. Therefore they end up encroaching the few available forests, destroying bio-diversity, and finding places to stay in.
Apart from settlement, another human activity that leads to the destruction of bio-diversity to a great extent is the farming and production of foods by human beings. Therefore, this practice, even though very beneficial to human existence, leads to the clearing of large portions of land to cultivate and produce foods. This is an important practice, and therefore the best thing to do is to make sure that the food production does not conflict with the bio-diversity to such a great extent that the balance which exists in the world is no longer available. Still, only one group of bio-diversity is enjoying while another group of bio-diversity suffers due to the practices of human beings.
There are other reasons for human encroachment like profit maximization from natural resources, mismanagement of forests, among other issues. However, the effects of human encroachment on the natural environment and his destruction of bio-diversity are becoming a serious issue in the current world. Therefore, it has very many varied products and has many effects on the biodiversity destroyed and disturbed and the human being, the general life cycle, and very many aspects of the world.
The destruction of the life cycle of the ecosystem, which is destroyed by human beings, is a big issue and has very many effects. The plants, the animals, and the general composure of the intact environment have a very high level of dependency on each other. Therefore, different parts of the ecosystem are destroyed when a person decides to invade this balanced system and introduce new players (Smith-Spark). This means a big disruption of how the different parts of this system will function after the interruption. One of the major effects of human encroachment into wildlife is the loss of the habitat of very many animals which depend on the forests as their places to stay. Therefore this becomes a very great danger as with the loosing of the habitat, there is a likelihood that these animals will have to suffer and even die before they can get a new habitat. Therefore this is a sensitive issue which even though being addressed, is not yet fully settled.
When human beings encroach the habitat of the animals and other types of biodiversity, there is competition for food. Therefore this leads to the animals having less food for them to depend on, and consequently, some of them die. Thus, human beings can be described as greedy since a person may have everything they need for the sake of having a good life. However, with the desire to pile up more and more, they end up going into a conflict with the rest of the bio-diversity over what should be left untouched. With the competition for food, there is a disruption of the food chain of the animals as when the human beings get into the system. There is a likelihood of the animals having a very difficult time before fully adapting to the new system (Ahmet et al. 2283).
With the destruction of bio-diversity by human beings, the effects of this destruction face the human beings when at the same time they face the bio-diversity which has been destroyed. Some of these effects include global warming, infectious diseases, among other products (David et al., 05). global warming, for instance, is a very sensitive and important aspect of the world today, and this is an advancing issue and, therefore, a problem to the whole world. It leads to the melting of ice in the corners of the earth and bringing in the greenhouse effect on the lives of human beings. On the other hand, infectious disease is becoming too many, and all this is due to human beings destroying the environment and getting into conflicts with nature. According to Wilkinson et al. (02), most of the infectious diseases faced by humanity today, like the novel Ebola and coronavirus, are all linked to the human activity of the destruction of bio-diversity(David A. et al., 10). Therefore this is an issue that needs an urgent solution. Otherwise, the interaction between human beings and nature or wildlife will lead to even more devastating problems and issues that will go further to affect human beings adversely, just like the coronavirus and Ebola virus pandemics have affected the lives of human beings.
There are different and many ways that are being used to respond and address this challenge. One of the most important desires of human beings is to ensure that the wildlife and bio-diversity are properly taken care of, and this is done through different ways like the US government has an incentive manner of protecting the environment whereby bio-diversity is expected to thrive because of their quality of being free from human encroachment (David J et al., 197). The United States has introduced this manner of taking care of the environment because 70% of the area can be preserved and contains most of the animals owned by individuals. Therefore giving them incentives for the sake of the government to work in their land portions for research purposes aimed at making the bio-diversity better makes things easier and better for the restoration of bio-diversity efforts (David J et al., 197).
Education among the individuals about the importance of keeping the environment clean and not encroaching eh wildlife I also being carried out has had a lot of positive impacts. Therefore this is seen as a proof way of ending the destruction of bio-diversity. Other possible ways to end the destruction of bio-diversity are informing people of the ability to be satisfied with what they have and not to go destroying bio-diversity in efforts to make more money and acquire more.
In conclusion, therefore, the issue of loss of biodiversity and habitat is a very serious one as its effects are very commonly visible in the lives of each person. Consequently, it is important to keep on protecting the bio-diversity in the best manner possible and make sure that the human-wildlife conflict does not lead to devastating effects.
