The code shouldn’t be crazy sophisticated and should include what each variable does with the use of a # as I need to do a write-up of it afterward.
Social work administrators need to be able to help raise funds for their organizations and ensure that the funds are spent effectively. Once administrators receive funding, how they manage the funds is critical for accountability and sustainability. When administrators manage funds effectively, they increase their credibility with stakeholders in the community. Administrators must be able to demonstrate how the resources have been used to support the mission of the organization.
Budgeting in human services organizations brings about many challenges. Human services agencies must be creative in managing their budget due to the increased demands on the agency and the needs of the clients and stakeholders. There are many legal, contractual, and other requirements under the concept of financial management, as such agency administrators need to be creative to obtain funding. Applying for grants in both the private and public sectors is one access to funding resources. Most grants will require that you present a proposed budget for use of the funds. Thus, grants and budgeting often go hand in hand.
For this Discussion, think about grant writing and the elements needed to write a successful grant. Then, review sample grants at https://grantspace.org/resources/sample-documents/. Identify one grant to discuss.
Post the following:
Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.
Receiving funding from a grant or other source of funds is a great accomplishment. Once the funding is received, the human services organization must be able to manage the funds effectively. The organization must also develop a plan to sustain the program after the funding period ends or the potential for change from the funded program may be limited.
For this Discussion, review the budget provided in the grant proposal that you discussed in Discussion 1 of this Week. Consider how you would prioritize budgetary needs and fundraise to continue covering costs of this program after the grant period has ended.
Post a brief description of the budget presented in the grant proposal you selected. Describe how you might alter the budget after the grant ended or which budget items you would prioritize as you sought additional funding to continue the program. Explain why you would make these changes or prioritize specific budget items. Finally, explain how you would fundraise to meet the budget priorities.

Project 2 e-Commerce Risk Analysis
Description
For this project, you will begin by researching a publicly traded company that engages in e-Commerce. You will then review the companys risk statements as published each year in the companys Annual Report to Investors (also published in the companys annual filing of SEC Form 10-K). After analyzing the companys e-Commerce operations and its risk statements about those activities, you will construct and document your own cybersecurity risk analysis which focuses upon the companys e-Commerce activities (including all supporting business processes).
A list of approved companies appears at the end of this file (see Table 2). If you wish to use a company not on the approved list you must first obtain the approval of your instructor.
Note: before beginning this assignment, you should review NIST SP 800-30 R1: Guide for Conducting Risk Assessments. Pay special attention to Appendix D: Threat Sources: Taxonomy of Threats Sources Capable of Initiating Threat Events and Appendix H: Impact: Effects of Threat Events on Organizations, Individuals, and the Nation.
Research Your Chosen Company
1. Review the companys website to learn about the products and services which it sells via e-Commerce.
2. Retrieve and review the Hoovers profile for the company. These profiles are written by professional analysts; pay close attention to the types of questions the analysts ask and answer in the company profile. Use this URL to access the database http://ezproxy.umuc.edu/login?url=https://www.mergentonline.com/Hoovers
3. Use the search bar at the top of the Search & Build a List tab to find your chosen company.
4. The company profile web pages in the Hoovers database are interactive and have expanding menus / options (see figure below). You may find it helpful to use the OneStop Report button to generate a PDF version of the information. Select Core under categories (Available Fields: Company Summary, Contacts, Corporate Family, Corporate Overview, SWOT, and News). Click on the field names in the middle column to select them for your report.
5. After you have looked at the company website and the Hoovers report, Identify 3 or more additional sources of information about the company and how it operates in cyberspace. These can be news articles, data breach reports, etc.
6. Using the information obtained from your sources, identify the types of information and business operations which drive this companys need for cybersecurity products and services. (What needs to be protected?)
Analyze the Companys Risk Statements
1. Using the links from Table 1 (at the end of this file), download a copy of your selected companys most recent Annual Report to Investors from its Form 10-K filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. (Note: the company is the author of its Form 10-K. Do not list the SEC as the author.)
2. Read and analyze the Risk Factors section in the companys report to investors (Item 1.A). This section is a professionally written risk analysis that has been written for a specific audience. Pay close attention to what the company includes as risk factors and how the writers chose to present this information.
3. Analyze the risk factors to determine which ones are related to e-Commerce / Internet operations or are otherwise affected by the use of information in digital form and Information Technology systems and infrastructures. Make a list that shows what information, digital assets, and/or business operations (processes) need to be protected from cyberattacks and/or cybercrime (including insiders and external threats) and the type of risk or threat that could affect those assets and processes.
Write
1. An introduction section which identifies the company being discussed and provides a brief introduction to the company including when it was founded and significant events in its history.
2. A business profile for the company. This information should include: headquarters location, key personnel, primary types of business activities and locations, major products or services sold by the company, major competitors, stock information (including ticker symbol or NASDAQ code), recent financial performance, and additional relevant information from the business profiles. (Use information from Hoovers and other authoritative sources)
3. An overview of the companys e-Commerce operations which summarizes information obtained from its annual report, the Hoovers profile for the company, and other sources which you found in your research.
4. A separate section in which you describe this companys needs or requirements for cybersecurity. What information and/or business operations need to be protected? While your focus should be upon the companys e-Commerce activities, you should also address the back-office or supporting information and business processes required to deliver those e-commerce activities.
5. A separate section which provides a detailed summary of the identified risks and potential impacts upon the companys operations as a whole. What are the likely sources of threats or attacks for each type of information or business operation? (E.g. protect customer information from disclosure or theft during online purchase transactions.). What are the possible impacts should these risks occur? You may present your summary in table format.

he paper must be at least 8-10 pages double spaced in length and documented in APA style. The title page and reference pages are NOT included in the length requirement-the paper must be 8-10 pages of content. The student must use at least eight scholarly references when researching the topic. Scholarly references should primarily include scholarly peer reviewed articles. Specifically, only two of the eight resources can come from alternative sources such as websites (ending in .gov, .org, .edu. only) or other scholarly material; the other six resources must come from scholarly peer reviewed articles (To find scholarly, peer-reviewed articles it is recommended to use the university library database social work journals, PSYCinfo, Medline or other databases with the option to limit search results to scholarly, peer reviewed, full text material only). Textbooks may be used for support, but not as a primary source. Please refer to the writing tips for the research papers in the Introduction section of this course for detailed instructions on acceptable resources and APA style. Paper is due the 5th week of class and is worth 100 points. It is encouraged for students to review the rubric for this assignment in the Introduction section of the course as well. When reviewing the rubric, you will notice that students are expected to address “core issues” related to the chosen topic.
An example of “core issues” related to a chronic illness experienced by many older adults would be examining the scope/severity of the issue, significant statistics in regards to target populations with the illness, defining the illness, symptoms of the illness, short and long term effects of the illness, and treatment(s) for the illness and effectiveness of available treatment(s).
An example of “core issues” related to a social service area related to aging would include examining the social problem leading to the development of the service, the scope and severity of the problem before and after implementation of the service, funding for the service, assessment of clients, interventions provided by the service area, and evaluation of the social service’s effectiveness.
