BPI 601 – Assignment #4 – Process Analysis and Design – EPC Modeling 

Using ARIS Business Architect you are to create the TO-BE EPC Process model representing the pre-registration process for Process University as detailed below.   Indicate the roles for each activity.

Process Description:

Currently (AS-IS), the Graduate pre-registration process is as follows for Process University: – the goal is to have students select appropriate classes for the next semester as efficiently as possible without jeopardizing the business rules and prerequisite rules of the University.  These rules are as follows:

  • A student is not allowed to preregister until they have been officially accepted into the program.
  • If a student has an outstanding bill with the university they will not be able to preregister.
  • The Student is allowed to meet with a graduate adviser to advise course selection (even if they have an outstanding bill). (it is the student’s choice to do so)
  • Students must adhere to the prerequisites of classes – therefore each course selected must be checked to see if the student has completed the required prerequisites of each course pre-selected. Courses will not be approved until course prerequisites are satisfied.   In rare cases the student may get approval from administration if they do not have the appropriate prerequisites.
  • Once a course is approved, a seat in that course is assigned to the student if there are still seats available (if course is not closed) and the course is added to the roster of the student.
  • If a course is closed, the student may request a meeting with a graduate adviser to see if the student is eligible to be added into the course.
  • If a course is closed and the student does not wish to take further action, or the student was denied further action; the student is asked to select another course.
  • If the student opts not to complete the preregistration, the registrar (administration) and the student’s adviser are notified.

(TO-BE)  Process University will be implementing on-line pre-registration in the near future.  Design and model the TO-BE process with this in mind, however all the business rules listed above still must be maintained in addition to the new rule below.

  • A student is prompted and asked if they would like to register for another course, once the student has indicated they do not want to register for any more courses OR they have registered for the maximum number of courses (which is four), the system will print a list of courses they registered for.

Requirements:

  1. Using the EPC modeling methodology, design the TO-BE process modelfor the scenario described above. ** You MUST have at least one loop in this process

Growth and Development Assessment Project Guidelines:

Choose a person you know well and complete a developmental analysis of this person’s current period of development. You can choose a person from any of the developmental stages excluding infancy and toddlerhood. Through observation and communications with the person, assess the individual’s current period of development. Within that specific period of life, provide a detailed comparison of the subject’s physically, cognitive, and psychosocial development to the established norms, developmental milestones, and theories from textbooks and scholastic resources. All three areas of development (physical, cognitive, and psychosocial) must be examined in depth with various theories, established norms, and examples of met and unmet developmental tasks. The assessment is not a chronological lifespan report on a single theorist. It should focus primarily on the individual’s current period of life. However, if the person has unmet tasks, you can examine earlier periods of life influential to the delay.

This analysis needs to be a minimum of 4 completed pages of content (excluding title page, reference page, and charts) and a maximum of 6 pages. Again, be sure to utilize various theories, established norms, and developmental milestones and apply those to all three areas of development of your chosen person.

Objectives:

  1. Summarize an individual’s current period of development according to textbook information and various theorists.
  2. Compare the individual’s physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development to the textbook description, various theories, established norms, and developmental milestones.
  3. Recognize unmet or uncompleted tasks of the individual’s current period of development.
  4. Identify measures to assist the individual to achieve the tasks of his/her stage of development.

Learning Activities:

  1. Select an individual and arrange a time to observed and interviewed.
  2. Review lecture and readings on relevant stages of development.
  3. Observe and discuss with the individual (or parents) specific issues and topics related to physical, cognitive, and psychosocial growth and development.
  4. Prepare a report (4-6 pages) to include the following:
  • Include an overview (introduction) of the individual’s biographical data: ex. age, sex, family structure, living arrangements, occupation.
  • Summarize the theoretical description of the individual’s current period of development.
  • Compare the individual’s current cognitive, physical, and psychosocial development to various theories expected norms, and developmental milestones. Comparisons must be from the required textbook and a minimum of one outside scholastic reference.
  • Recognize which development tasks have been achieved and/or are still unmet. Provide scholastic evidence based on the analysis of the observation and interview to the theories, established norms, and developmental milestones.
  • Indicate measures to assist or maintain the individual’s effort to accomplish age-appropriate developmental tasks.

Watch the two vignettes on Evaluating Root Cause and Severity of a Control Deficiency. The vignettes depict a situation where an audit engagement team found an internal control deficiency while investigating a misstatement auditors found. The first vignette is a discussion about the root cause of the misstatement, and the second one is about whether the internal control deficiency identified should be ‘material weakness’ or something less severe than that. It is a critical decision to make as existence of material weakness in internal control will lead to a modified audit opinion on internal control.

Initial/Original PostSelect ‘two’ of the following questions and discuss:

  • A misstatement of an account balance does not always lead to a conclusion there is an internal control deficiency. What made auditors in this case consider the possibility the error was a result of a problem in internal control?
  • The audit partner in the first vignette asks whether the issue is a deficiency in design or in operating effectiveness. Why is it important?
  • In the second vignette, why does the partner seem pretty convinced the deficiency is severe enough to be a material weakness?
  • In the second vignette, two auditors sitting in front of the partner seem a little reluctant to conclude the deficiency is a material weakness. Why do you think it is the case?

Feel free to elaborate anything you learned/noticed from these vignettes and raise any question you have.
