Assignment title: Information
AAssignment 1: Discussion—Healthcare Financial Statements and Ethical Standards Case Study Analysis
Review the following case:
According to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), HealthSouth Corp., a Birmingham, Alabama, health-services company, overstated its profits by at least $1.4 billion between the years 1999 and 2003 to meet or exceed Wall Street estimates. The allegations came just seven months after an earnings restatement and insider-trading charges triggered the investigation. Although this case happened years ago, the fallout from the scandal was still in the news in 2012, demonstrating the long-term damage a healthcare organization can suffer as a result of fraud.
There is a tremendous amount of publicly available information about the fraud committed by HealthSouth Corp. The fraud included many of the typical earnings-manipulation tricks such as capitalizing expenses, understating reserves for receivables, and extending the usefulness of equipment. There was none of the highly technical fraud such as that seen in Enron.
Access the following link to learn more about this case:
• U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. (2003). Complaint for injunctive and other relief. Retrieved fromhttps://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/comphealths.htm
Analyze each element of this case. Consider the following aspects in your analysis:
• Identify the specific methods used by management to manage earnings.
• Establish a scenario in which you are a midlevel manager in a healthcare organization and you suspect that management is manipulating earnings. You benefit from the manipulation because your bonus is based on earnings. In addition, you have determined that becoming a whistleblower will be detrimental to your career. What will you do? If you decide to be a whistleblower, what protection is available to you?
Give reasons to support your statements.
Write your initial response in approximately 300–500 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

3.3 Proposed Model
Time Domain Frequency Domain
Figure 9: Proposed model
In the Time domain the users (UEs) that are to be scheduled in the next TTI are selected on a
"First Come First Serve" basis. In real time of the time domain the users are selected by Round Robin operation in the input. Once the UEs have been selected, a matrix of selected UEs metric value at various RBs are created
In time domain once the UEs have been selected and the input matrix M is created, this matrix M is the input for the scheduling block in the frequency domain.
In a TTI if all the RBs are not occupied by the selected UEs, the unoccupied RBs are allocated for non real time application. The real time data are given more priority compared to that of the non real time.
