Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Fraud is a criminal deception by someone which is done for either personal or financial gain.

Fraud deterrence is when the likely causes of fraud are identified and removed so as to prevent fraud from occuring.

Fraud detection are the activities that are done so as to prevent money or any other thing from being gotten by false pretenses.

Fraud investigation has to do with using investigative skills and accountability in order to know if fraud has taken place.

b. Fraud symptoms that indicate the possibility of fraud include:

1. Accounting and analytical anomalies

2. Tips and complaint

3. Extravagant lifestyle

4. Unusual behavior

c. The procedures that could be done to uncover John’s fraudulent behavior are:

• Stock reconciliation: This will help show the fictitious acquisitions. Since no receipt are given for the goods, this will help in the detection of the fraud.

• Alice should verify the details such as the address, phone number and name attached to the purchase and find a way of tracking it.

Why is it important not to leave your personal information on a public computer?
Tom [10]

One reason that it is important not to leave your personal information on a public computer is identity theft.

There are some 200 economic integration agreements around the world today, far more than a few years ago.NAFTA, EU, Asean etc. V
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Economic integration agreement is when countries within a particular geographical area decide to remove or relax tariff or non-tariff barriers to trade between themselves and also to coordinate and harmonize their fiscal and economic policies. Free trade area is the simplest form of an economic integration; it is when governments of member countries agree to remove trade restriction between each other and when member countries are given the freedom to determine their own external trade policies towards non-members.  

Supporters of free trade area argue that it is beneficial to the country based on the trade creation argument. Trade creation is where high-cost domestic production is replaced by more efficiently produced imports from within the group; that is, more expensive domestic products are replaced by lower priced imports from countries within the group. The trade creation argument is hinged on the fact that a free trade area ensures that trade is generated over and above what would otherwise have happened if there was no integration. Further, the removal of tariffs allows members to specialize in those products for which they have a comparative advantage leading to a variety of cheap imports for domestic consumers, thereby increasing living standards or welfare gains. Trade creation also creates an incentive for high cost domestic producers to cut cost so as to remain competitive thereby enhancing efficiency.

On the other hand, a free trade area is criticized on the basis of trade diversion. This is where trade with a low-cost country outside the group is influenced by higher–cost products supplied from within the group; this results in a less efficient allocation of resources as trade from outside the group is replaced by trade from within the group. Trade diversion could mean that local consumers would have to buy products at less competitive prices. Another argument would be that a free trade area would lead to a removal of tariff between member countries thereby resulting in a cessation of government revenue from tariffs. As opposed to a free trade area,  free trade would increase world output and employment, raise quality and lower prices of goods as firms have access to factor inputs; it will also increase world living standards or enhances welfare gains.  A free trade agreement only restricts these potential advantages to a particular geographical space.
