There are five types of accounts, assets, liabilities,equity (balance sheet accounts), and revenue and expenses (income statement accounts). Assets increase on debit side, decrease on credit side. Liabilities and equity both increase on credit side, decrease on debit side. Then revenue accounts increase on credit side, decrease on debit side and expense accounts increase on debit side and decrease on the credit side. You might map out these increases/decreases and types of accounts on a sheet of paper and refer to it often. These are principles that will not ever change.

Next, remember that assets are things of value, i.e. cash is an asset. Note that revenue is not an asset because revenue does not equate to cash. We have been discussing the fact that revenue and cash aren’t one in the same, so it’s important to make that distinction. So, assets are things of value that are worth money. Liabilities represent what is owed to someone else, or debts. Equity is capital, or think about it this way: if assets represent everything of value, and assets = liabilities plus equity, then what’s left over after you subtract debt from assets will equal owner’s worth. Does this make sense? Capital represents value to the owner(s) after all debts are subtracted from all liabilities.

Now let’s think about revenue. Revenue is earned at the time of sale of a good or service, so revenue is the foundation of business profitability. From revenue we subtract expenses, and the expenses on monthly income statements represent expenses for the month that were required in order to generate the revenue we bring in that month. Revenue minus expenses = net profit (or loss), and this net profit is what increases the capital account on the balance sheet (or decreases capital if we have a loss).

Each of the five accounts all fit together, and information derived from the income statement affects the entire balance sheet (for example when we have revenue we debit accounts receivable on the balance sheet giving the asset section strength even though we have not collected the cash yet.)

Class: Please think through this information, begin a
discussion so that we can help each other, and please ask specific questions.150-200 WORDS

Polygraph Results

Competencies Addressed in This Assignment

• Competency 1: Articulate how the rules of criminal procedure apply to a criminal justice practitioner.
• Competency 3: Apply the 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments in a criminal justice context.
• Competency 5: Communicate effectively in writing.

Overview

Polygraph results fail to conform to the Frye doctrine and are therefore inadmissible as evidence in court. This doctrine, enunciated in Frye v. United States (1923) states that, before the results of scientific tests will be admissible as evidence in a trial, the procedures used must be sufficiently established to have gained general acceptance in the particular field to which they belong. Most courts refuse to admit the results of polygraph (lie detector) tests in either civil or criminal proceedings unless admissibility is agreed to by both parties.

Instructions

Polygraph results are frequently used in other situations, such as pre-employment or background tests. If this is the case, it begs the question of why these results should be excluded from courtrooms.

For this assignment, prepare a three-page memorandum to your supervisor, an attorney, addressing the admissibility of polygraph results.

In your memorandum:

• Analyze the current position of the U.S. Supreme Court with respect to reliability and admissibility of polygraph evidence.
• Determine the potential impact of Frye v. United States on criminal cases.

Be sure to review the Polygraph Results Scoring Guide to ensure you understand the criteria for this assignment.

Requirements

Your memorandum should meet the following requirements:

• Written communication: Must be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
• References: A minimum of two references.
• APA format: Format resources and citations as per current APA style and formatting guidelines.
• Length of memorandum: Three pages, not including the title page and the references page.
• Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.
