Book Description

If your organization does not have project fraud and project investment reporting controls in operation, you face the real risk of hefty fines and possible jail time for executives under the Sarbanes-Oxley federal law. Essential Project Investment Governance and Reporting introduces proactive best methods for ensuring proper financial reporting of project investments and techniques for preventing, detecting, and managing the risks of fraud in projects that will ensure corporate governance compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley. It shows you how to manage project fraud through the PMO and internal auditing units while enabling overall improvement of corporate governance.

No other publication summarizes the essential U.S. financial reporting concepts on project investments in such an easily accessible manner. Whether you work in a privately held company, a non-profit, or operate within some level of the government, you will be expected to comply with these requirements because your customers will demand it. This book is a must-read for project managers and accountants in all types of firms.

Must Read for PMO Directors and Sr. Management.......2005-04-22

Steve's first book (Advanced Project Portfolio Management and the PMO with Gerald Kendall) transformed the perception of a PMO from a project cost management/efficiency cop to a potential profit center, raising the bar for most organizations. He (along with Richard Lanza) has pushed the envelope again making the case for the PMO as the best qualified entity for preventing financial losses to the corporation due to project fraud.

The term project fraud may at first seem a harsh characterization of the poor project success rates that most management accepts as the status quo. However, Rollins and Lanza do an excellent job of mapping the COSO Control Framework to the execution of project objectives and the performance of project personnel. They include diagrams, descriptions and questions to assist in the performance of a Project Fraud Risk Assessment. The underlying conclusions are that poor manmagement of project fraud can seriusly hurt corporate business objectives and that the PMO is best suited to perform this function.

This is must reading for PMO Directors struggling to get the visibility and executive blessing needed to effectively fulfill their mission.

Must Reference for Project Management and SOX Compliance.......2005-03-19

This is a necessary reference for effective project management and Section 404 compliance under Sarbanes-Oxley. The book provideds an abundance of checklists and questions that will make this an ongoing well used reference for ensuring continued corporate governance. The reality of project fraud and its widespread impact is clearly spelled out. Rollins and Lanza accomplished their objective with well stated structures for breaking down the work steps needed to prevent fraud and establish effective internal controls for managing projects. You get your money's worth with this book.

Working Together - Collaborating to Beat Fraud.......2005-02-24

As a project manager, I was very interested to read this book. The consequences of unchecked fraudulent activity in the public and private sectors does more than affect the "bottom line." It erodes public confidence in the ability of managers to protect the assets assigned to their care.

Within organizations, fraud robs employees of the resources they need to fulfill their obligations. This book gives project managers, auditors, and fraud investigators a "blueprint" for taking effective collaborative action to both uncover and prevent fraud during the life of projects. Since so much business activity is project-based, it's a wonder we had to wait so long for it.

The book's organization makes it easy to follow the argument that fraud can be dealt with effectively. The Preface clearly states the purpose of the book. Each chapter is divided by important topics within. This is accurately reflected in the table of contents. Each chapter is also neatly summarized at the end. It has a helpful index at the back of the book as well.

The Appendices are helpful, too. They supplement the text by providing a "List of Sarbanes-Oxley Act Sections," "Decision Tree for Software Development Projects," and "Project Fraud Management Policy Template."

The authors have the necessary professional credentials and the extensive experience needed to synthesize the subject matter. They have the all-important credibility to support their contentions.

I thought the book brought together the best of project management and financial auditing to offer concerned professionals a "roadmap" to more control. It provides checklists and guidelines that enable project managers and internal auditors to work together.

The book should, of course, appeal to the above-mentioned professionals. It should also be read and understood by top-level corporate managers who want to make use of available professional skills to effectively fight fraud.

Determining Fraud bs. Mismanagement.......2005-02-12

Sub-Title: Preventing Project Fraud And Ensuring Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance

Sarbanes-Oxley is one of those things that you really wish Congress had to apply to themselves rather than just imposing it on the rest of us. It has certainly made life interesting. In terms of project management, it's intent is to ensure that a project proceeds to work on its stated mission, correctly utilizing the projects resources, and eliminate improper dealings with project vendors for personal enrichment.

A key problem is to distinguish between fraud and mismanagement, conspiracy and incompetence. An interesting project discussed in the book is the California State Welfare Automation Project where the project was so confused that they still can't say if fraud ocurred. From this example the reporting procedures that may prevent the reocurrance of such situations is developed by looking as many areas where fraud can at least be expected to occur.

This situation wouldn't be so critical if the law weren't written so that people can be put in jail for not instituting proper controls where proper controls are a matter of opinion. This book gives the best analysis of current thinking, subject to change of course as the courts deal with the problem.

Inspirational!.......2005-08-17

I highly recommend this book. I was completely spellbound the first time I looked at it. You may hear about copying floor tiles into a quilt pattern, but to see the actual end results is...well, amazing. These are some of the most beautiful quilts I have ever seen, and the instruction to make one of your own are simple and very clear.

In short, it is one of the most inspirational books I have ever purchased. After reading it, I find myself discovering quilt patterns in more and more places.

This book definitely belongs in your quilting library.

this will open you eyes.......2005-07-04

to all sorts of inspiration around you.

after seeing the author on simply quilts, i decided this book would be worth checking out. so much so, i bought it.

the quilts are fabulous. some of the designs used extremely advanced piecing techniques to reproduce equally advanced tile and mosaid techniques. some quilts are shown in natural colors to recall the marble, and then in funky wild combinations to show that the designs are great as designs, not just as a floor design.

not perhaps for the absolute beginner, there are some patterns a quilter with one or two projects accomplished could make.

definitely belongs on your quilting bookshelf.

Multiple uses..........2004-11-16

You could use this book either to make the quilts she shows, or as an idea book. Porter gives detailed instructions for making quilts based on floor tiles, including pieced and fused techniques. It's one of those books that seems like a "niche" idea but actually teaches techniques of design, composition, and construction that can be used in many different ways. The pictures are clear and inspiring.

If you want to use aromatherapy on babies you need this book.......1999-11-18

The authors bring many years of experience in aromatherapy to the writing of this book. They cover their topics in a clear concise manner yet with enough depth that the reader feels empowered to act. My only criticisms are: The authors selection of oils, though well done, left out a few really important oils and the section on "inhalation" wasn't as complete as I'd have liked. The section on massage was very well done with excellent photographs. If you are new to using pure essential oils in support of your younger family members health this is a must buy.

Book Description

Benjamin Britten and W.H. Auden were key figures of the 1930s, and here Donald Mitchell traces their lives during one crucial year, 1936. They worked hard to establish themselves, first through the GPO film unit, in a collaboration which flowered and spilled over into the theatre, and then radio - a new medium that the liveliest creative minds of the time were exploring and exploiting. Britten and Auden also joined forces in works destined for the recital room and concert hall, among them 'Our Hunting Fathers', the political symbolism of which Donald Mitchell examines in depth, and 'On the Island', settings of early Auden that comprised Britten's first important set of songs to English texts. Much use is made of Britten's private diaries, which he kept on a daily basis, and a revealing portrait emerges of the two men's relationship, of their work together in many different fields, and of the reflection within that work of political ideas current at the time. DONALD MITCHELL was Britten's close friend and publisher from 1964 until the end of the composer's life, and his authorised biographer. The T S Eliot Memorial Lectures delivered in 1979

Learning from her "can do" spirit.......2001-01-05

I knew this remarkable author, and I learned much from her and her book. I think you will too.

Born in New England to a struggling Jewish immigrant family, she tells of her childhood experiences and continues through her professional life as a nutritionist, which included working in slums of Boston and New York, going with UNRRA to refugee camps in North Africa and war-torn Italy during World War II.

At 65, she petitioned Peace Corps Director Sargent Shriver to join the Peace Corps and became the first senior citizen to be accepted. Afterward, at an age when most people retire, she served as the director of Head Start.

This is the life story of a spirited woman with a "can do" spirit who lived to be nearly a hundred. She got things done when others could not. Her book tells how she did.
