Fraud and offshore jurisdictions

Success in combating money laundering, terrorist financing and financial crime will never be achieved until international efforts are focused upon the two key areas of fraud and offshore jurisdictions.

To what extent is this statement correct?  Discuss.
In your answer, provide case studies and examples (you can reference the case of Danske Bank but to a minimum as the intent is to have other cases referenced and used).

In the area of International Financial Crime & Security, What went wrong in the case of Danske Bank? To what extent does this case reveal the gaps in international efforts against money-laundering and the vulnerabilities of banking institutions to being exploited for money laundering. Also consider the issue, have the repercussions and impacts on the financial institutions involved of Danske Bank lasted noticeably longer than those adverse results in previous cases of scandals and wrong-doing concerning international banks?

Write a set of Instructions, according to the following guidelines:

Length: Minimum of 800 words

Audience: College Freshmen

Design & Graphics: Document must show proficient use of design and graphics principles that are best for the purpose and audience.

Content: Write a set of instructions to show college freshmen how to conduct research on one of the following topics:

  • Do Electric Cars Really Help the Environment?
  • Could Jurassic Park (or something like it) Really Happen?
  • Will Space Travel Become Normal?
  • Should We Use AI in Law Enforcement?

Or a topic of your choice, if approved by Instructor (Failure to obtain Instructor approval will result in a grade of 0.)

In the Steps section of your Instructions, you will need to consider the following:

  • How to develop a research question
  • How to develop a hypothesis
  • How to determine what search engines will be used
  • How to determine what databases will be used
  • How to decide what search terms will be used
  • How to modify your research approach as you move through the process

Care of deteriorating patient

Joel Johnson

Joel is a 72 year-old retired architect. He continues to work informally as a consultant on some projects in addition to having had a number of books of poetry published in recent years. Joel has been married to Sylvia for 49 years, and they have been planning a cruise to celebrate their golden wedding next year. They have four grown up children, and nine grandchildren, who they see regularly and often assist their parents by providing child care. In addition, Joel and Sylvia also care for Sylvia’s 94 year-old mother who is increasingly frail.

Joel attended the practice nurse at his GP surgery with a painful and inflamed injury to his left fore-arm sustained whilst clearing his garden shed last week, he believes he caught it on a rusty bow saw that was hanging on the shed wall. Concerned about the state of the wound and his observations the nurse called an ambulance for Joel to be transferred to the accident and emergency unit for potential admission.

Joel has mild osteoarthritis for which he takes over-the-counter NSAIDs and is prescribed Ramipril 5mg od for hypertension. Joel was a heavy smoker until giving up twenty years ago.

The Art of the Commonplace by Wendell Berry

The Art of the Commonplace is a collection of essays that covers a wide range of social issues including agriculture and the environment, family and marriage, consumerism, and globalism. The topic of each of these essays ultimately ends up with government and politics having an effect or response on the issue.

The assignment is two-fold.

1. Summarize the entire book in half of your 6-page paper in the book review.

2. Relate your original conclusions to a single essay of the book and its issues in the remaining 3 pages of your essay.

In your conclusions, address how government would deal with the issues. You may not dismiss the issue by saying that government has no effect.

You may research the issue if you are unfamiliar to it as how government might address it. If you include that information in your paper, be sure to footnote and acknowledge the source in the bibliography of your paper.

Write a researched argumentative essay defending one side of a controversy

Introduction:
Throughout the unit, you will focus on how to research via a standard search engine, how to use the MTC databases Write a researched argumentative essay defending one side of a controversyto find peer reviewed resources, how to determine source reliability and author credibility, how to collect and organize research, how to compile resources on a topic, and how to summarize and paraphrase on the collegiate level. You will use this research to construct and argument of your own, that supports one side of the controversial issue you explored in Unit 3. This unit will culminate in a argumentative essay, supported by strong research (NOT a research report).

Prompt:
Write an argumentative research essay that addresses a controversy related to the topic you worked with from Unit 3. What are the key points of the issue? Why is the issue important? Who is most affected by the issue? What are some of the consequences or possible solutions? You must select one side of the argument and use persuasive writing techniques (rhetorical devices) to make your point. Consider the rhetoric and research needed to persuade your audience to agree with you. Avoid logical fallacies that would weaken your argument and be sure to incorporate several sources that supplement your thoughts.

Your essay should explore one of the above topics and a related controversy (you may use those above or explore another you have found), specifically supporting one side of the issue. For example, if you chose a topic such as gun control, you should not just list out a great deal of information and explanation. Instead, you would need to take a stance either for gun control or against it and make a strong argument with several reasons that support your ideas. These ideas must then be supported by credible sources. Avoid the temptation to argue whether or not a past event should have taken place since we cannot change history. An argumentative essay should, like the one you wrote for MA 2, should allow the reader to make a decision, take an action, or consider differing perspectives from their own.
