更多“(c) Assess the likely criteria which would need to be satisfied for software to be regarded as ‘quality software’.(4 marks)”相关问题
  • 第1题:

    (c) At a recent meeting of the board of directors, the managing director of Envico Ltd said that he considered it

    essential to be able to assess the ‘value for money’ of each seminar. He suggested that the quality of the speakers

    and the comfort of the seminar rooms were two assessment criteria that should be used in order to assess the

    ‘value for money’ of each seminar.

    Required:

    Discuss SIX separate and distinct assessment criteria (including those suggested by the managing director),

    that would enable the management of Envico Ltd to assess the ‘value for money’ of each seminar.

    (6 marks)


    正确答案:
    (c) The following are six separate and distinct assessment criteria (including those suggested by the managing director), that
    would enable the management of Envico Ltd to assess the ‘value for money’ of each seminar. The assessment criteria are
    presented as questions that would comprise the contents of a questionnaire but other presentations would have been equally
    acceptable.
    (1) Did the course meet your objectives?
    ‘Value for money’ may, in part, be assessed by reference to the ‘effectiveness’ of the service provision. Effectiveness may
    be viewed in this context as meeting the objectives of attendees. All attendees have similar but varying objectives and
    hence it is vital that Envico Ltd meets the objectives of all attendees if seminars are to constitute ‘value for money’.
    (2) How would you rate the quality of the speakers?
    A primary resource of Envico Ltd is its speakers and thus it is important to gauge how they were perceived to perform
    by the attendees.
    (3) How would you rate comfort, cleanliness and facilities of the seminar rooms?
    Again, a principal resource, which is consumed when providing the service, is the seminar room and the facilities
    contained within it. Attendees will find a clean and ergonomically designed room more conducive for education and
    training activities.
    (4) How would you assess the quality of the course materials?
    Since Envico Ltd undertakes the provision of educational and training seminars then the quality of course materials
    provided assumes critical significance as they represent the ‘raison d’être’ of Envico Ltd. If they are perceived to be of
    high quality they may act as a good advertisement for the company. Conversely, poor quality course materials will cause
    Envico Ltd to be perceived poorly.
    (5) How strongly would you recommend Envico courses to friends and colleagues?
    This is a very important consideration since ‘word of mouth’ may represent the best means of advertising the services
    provided by Envico Ltd and is indicative of whether attendees consider that they have received ‘value for money’ from
    Envico Ltd.
    (6) Do you consider that you could have achieved your objectives in attending the course in a more expedient manner? If
    so, please detail below.
    This question acknowledges that the time of attendees is a scarce resource and hence there may well be an opportunity
    cost in attending seminars in addition to the explicit costs such as course fees, travel and subsistence costs etc. It is
    essential that Envico Ltd is flexible in its approach to meeting the needs of clients where attendance at seminars is either
    impracticable or undesirable. Perhaps a series of interactive CDs and/or video tuition may be more appropriate in certain
    instances.

    (b) (i) State the condition that would need to be satisfied for the exercise of Paul’s share options in Memphis

    plc to be exempt from income tax and the tax implications if this condition is not satisfied.

    (2 marks)


    正确答案:
    (b) (i) Paul has options in an HMRC approved share scheme. Under such schemes, no tax liabilities arise either on the grant
    or exercise of the option. The excess of the proceeds over the price paid for the shares (the exercise price) is charged to
    capital gains tax on their disposal.
    However, in order to secure this treatment, one of the conditions to be satisfied is that the options cannot be exercised
    within three years of the date of grant. If Paul were to exercise his options now (i.e. before the third anniversary of the
    grant), the exercise would instead be treated as an unapproved exercise. At that date, income tax would be charged on
    the difference between the market value of the shares on exercise and the price paid to exercise the option.

    Even though most universities retain the royalties from faculty members’ inventions, the faculty members retain the royalties from books and articles they write. Therefore, faculty members should retain the royalties from the educational computer software they develop.  The conclusion above would be more reasonably drawn if which of the following were inserted into the argument as an additional premise?
    A

    Royalties from inventions are higher than royalties from educational software programs.

    B

    Faculty members are more likely to produce educational software programs than inventions.

    C

    Inventions bring more prestige to universities than do books and articles.

    D

    In the experience of most universities, educational software programs are more marketable than are books and articles.

    (c) Identify TWO QUALITATIVE benefits that might arise as a consequence of the investment in a new IT system

    and explain how you would attempt to assess them. (4 marks)


    正确答案:
    (c) One of the main qualitative benefits that may arise from an investment in a new IT system by Moffat Ltd is the improved level
    of service to its customers in the form. of reduced waiting times which may arise as a consequence of better scheduling of
    appointments, inventory management etc. This could be assessed via the introduction of a questionnaire requiring customers
    to rate the service that they have received from their recent visit to a location within Moffat Ltd according to specific criteria
    such as adherence to appointment times, time taken to service the vehicle, cleanliness of the vehicle, attitude of staff etc.
    Alternatively a follow-up telephone call from a centralised customer services department may be made by Moffat Ltd
    personnel in order to gather such information.
    Another qualitative benefit of the proposed investment may arise in the form. of competitive advantage. Improvements in
    customer specific information and service levels may give Moffat Ltd a competitive advantage. Likewise, improved inventory
    management may enable costs to be reduced thereby enabling a ‘win-win’ relationship to be enjoyed with its customers.

    (c) Software Supply Co. (4 marks)


    正确答案:
    (c) Software Supply Co
    Here it seems that Smith & Co has referred the provision of bespoke accounting software to an external provider – Software
    Supply Co, and that a commission is being paid to Smith & Co for these referrals. It is common for audit firms to recommend
    other providers to their audit clients.
    This could be perceived as an objectivity and self-interest threat, as the audit firm is benefiting financially through
    recommending clients to a particular provider of goods and services. However, if appropriate safeguards are in place, the
    referrals and receipt of commissions can continue.
    Action to be taken:
    – Verification from all personnel involved with the audit of clients to whom Software Supply Co has provided a service that
    they have no financial or personal interest in Software Supply Co.
    – Smith & Co must ensure that:
    For each client where a referral is made, full disclosure has been made to the client regarding the arrangement
    Written acknowledgement that Smith & Co is to receive a referral fee should be obtained from the client.
    – Procedures must be put into place to monitor the quality of goods and services provided by Software Supply Co to audit
    clients.
