Examples of symptoms of control deficiencies include a lack of the following: segregation of duties, independent verification, proper authorization, physical safeguards, overriding the system in place, and proper documentation.2.

- 5 Steps to Preventing Workplace Violence
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics 95% of the 7.1 million U.S. employers reported at least one act of some type of workplace violence in 2006. These acts may include anything from assault, armed robbery to even homicide. With the recent bloodbath at Virginia Tech, where two professors died, and another homicide at Delphi in Michigan many managers and business owners wonder what they can do to reduce the chance of violence in their workplace.The reasons why a business owner or manager may desire to change their business strategy to protect their employees is many. These reasons range from the obvious to such as protecting human life to the not so obvious such as protecting your business assets. One fatal death that could have been prevented by an employer could bankrupt your company. Prevention is the biggest deterrent.1.) Take as much cash out of the process as possible: Robbery is one type of workplace violence. By regularly removing cash and depositing it in a safe location there is less attractiveness in robbery. Debit card and credit card use could be implemented instead of cash.2.) Physical Separation from the Public: In high risk areas such as urban ghettos and the desolate countryside it may be necessary to separate workers from the public. This can be done through bulletproof glass, security systems that slam up a protective barrier and locking of backdoors.3.)

What difference can a career summary make for you? Here are 4 reasons why you need one in your resume:
1.) A career summary communicates more about you and does so more powerfully than an objective statement.
2.) Employers love career summaries and use them to preview your resume. If they like your summary, they’re more likely to read your whole resume.
3.) A summary does a superlative job of masking weaknesses in your work history (too much experience, too little, too many different kinds of jobs, gaps in employment, ineffectual titles, and everything else you can think of)
4.) A career summary tells the employer what you most want them to know, up front. It therefore sells you well and sets you up to be asked the kinds of interview questions you really want to be asked.
All right, so a career summary is a good thing. What does it look like? A summary can be a short paragraph of 2-4 sentences or a brief phrase or sentence introducing a series of 4-8 bullets, depending on the communications style you prefer. It can be preceded by a job title or list of specialty areas that you wish to highlight. The summary always goes at the top of the resume immediately following your name and contact information.
Generally a good career summary will profile some mixture of the following kinds of critical details:
- A brief overview of the breadth and scope of your experience
- Academic credentials, if relevant
- 3-5 skillsets that set you apart from the competition
- 3-5 personality characteristics that describe the workplace you
- Hints about your most important work-related values.
