This is a paper that requires the student to focus on what was happening in the post-Civil War South in 1865 and 1866. The paper also provides additional information to use in writing the assignment paper well.,What was happening in the post-Civil War South in 1865 and 1866,Part One: Essay Prompt (75%):,We spent a few weeks at the beginning of the semester examining the various phases of Reconstruction in the South. Radical Reconstruction was one of those phases. What were Radical Reconstruction’s most substantive successes and failures in the 1860s and 1870s? By the 1890s, what had happened to that extraordinary effort to promote both racial justice and equality?,Before Writing:,*Ask yourself what you need to review and reflect upon from class readings, class lecture, and class discussion.,What was happening in the post-Civil War South in 1865 and 1866 before Radical Reconstruction? Secondly, what exactly was Radical Reconstruction? Who were the Radicals? What laws, events, and also developments were associated with it?,What was significant about Radical Reconstruction politically? socially? economically? What were the aims of Radical Reconstruction? Some Americans hoped it would lead to the creation of equal rights for all. Did it in the 1870s? by the 1890s? What happened? For example, what happens with the 14th amendment in the 1890s?,Writing Instructions for Part One:,*Write a 3.5 to 4 page (approximately 1000 word) response (typed and double-spaced).,*Cite any information, paraphrasing, and also direct quotations from the assigned readings by using ,parenthetical notation,. For example: (Foner, p. ) and (Murray, p. ).,*Once you have a final draft of the essay, be sure to start with a thesis paragraph that states your central historical points. A thesis is the main point(s). It is specific, not vague. It does not restate the question.,*Start each paragraph with a topic sentence—that is, the main point of the paragraph. Then develop that point and support it with specific historical evidence in that paragraph.,*Make sure that the essay is organized logically.,*Proofread and revise so that the writing is clear.,What the essay must include:,a lot of specific evidence, including ample evidence from Pauli Murray’s Proud Shoes, class lecture, the textbook, and David Blight’s article. Ask yourself if there are other sources that we used in our work on Radical Reconstruction that might be relevant. Writing history requires proving the historical claims we make. That means we have to use specific evidence and explain it in a detailed way. Just stating that the 15th amendment, for example, was one of Radical Reconstruction’s successes or failures would not prove a point. We would have to explain it and show how it was a success or failure—again, by using specific evidence., Some select direct quotation. Do not over-rely on direct quotation, however.,2. Part Two (25%): Write a 250-word diary entry about Gilded-Age society. Choose to write as: Andrew Carnegie, or a woman who is a Populist and a farmer, or a Progressive reformer. Choose just one figure, not all three.,What the diary entry must demonstrate and include: Show that you understand the events and also developments most relevant to that figure’s experience and historical context. Be sure to use assigned class reading material and also class lecture/discussion material.  Cite sources using parenthetical notation.,Attachments,Click Here To Download,

This is a paper that is focusing on full-cost accounting meeting ICAEW set out criteria. The paper also provides additional information on the topic case scenario to use in the assignment.,Full-cost accounting meeting ICAEW set out criteria,Question 2,The ICAEW has written a report on environmental reporting and here are a few of the key points;, The wide and varied range of potential environmental issues and the complexity of many modern businesses can make it difficult for companies to be aware of everything. That could be relevant for their businesses which may need to be reported.,These issues can be either systematic or non-systematic and include not only those from within the company’s own boundaries. But also those relating to its suppliers and customers. Sound internal information systems are central to managing this effectively and their quality can be enhanced by the adoption of a formal environmental management system. This can be supplemented in several ways. Such as through the creation of a specialist function within the organisation which is responsible for monitoring and helping to manage the environment related aspects of its business. Also, regular reference to good sources of external information, and the engagement as needed of expert external advisers.,Full-cost accounting meeting ICAEW set out criteria,Companies can be proactive and make positive use of their annual reports to inform not only investors. But also other stakeholders who could be important to the business. The potential range of stakeholders is broad and diverse and may include parties which, if not carefully managed, could create problems for the business. A company can take a structured approach. This by identifying its main stakeholders and evaluating their relative importance and respective information needs. Then assessing how far these can be met without compromising other considerations such as commercial confidentiality.,Standard good practice risk management techniques are as relevant in dealing with environmental issues as for other aspects of a company’s business. These can help to ensure that no significant risks are inadvertently overlooked and that those which are identified are then appropriately managed. This includes ensuring that the company captures adequate environmental data, of granularity and reliability. Also, through its accounting and other information systems. There are several items that preparers need to consider in order to avoid omitting anything significant and users should look for these in annual reports. They include disclosures on both the company’s own environmental policies. Also, practices and indicators of its resulting performance, particularly in key areas such as climate change. There are also independent environmental and sustainability rating and benchmarking systems. Which users can refer to supplement their own research.,Requirements,Required;, a)      In respect of the above statement do you think that ideas such as full-cost accounting (Triple Bottom Line) meet the criteria set out by the ICAEW (institute of charted accountants In England & wales)?                                                                            (7 marks),b)      Do you think that Social and Environmental Reporting through initiatives like GRI (,Global Reporting Initiative,) provide an appropriate lever for change or are they tools for organisations to “greenwash” their activities?                                               (8 marks),c)       If you were an accountant asks to “massage” a report to make it look greener what could you do? Use an ethical decision-making model to help you formulate your answer.                                                                  (10marks),Attachments,Click Here To Download,
