Why do Indian government websites show error or become unavailable when traffic is high while Google search works perfect in such huge traffic?
The speed of any website depends on the number of traffic generated and how that traffic is allocated to the server. In simple terms the management of traffic of the users in real time on a website is responsible for the speed of a website.Now the management of the users depends on the quality of the server and it is done by the server where the website is deployed (hosted or saved).Google has a entire unit of data centers which are capable of almost infinite number request at a single second of time. Similarly, India has too has data centers and data units in order to save the websites, user requests and make their websites smooth and optimum.Where as when you compare the speed of Google with Indian government websites, the Indian government websites are hosted on good and high end servers, though when there is immense amount of traffic, the servers are not able to handle the requests. This is due to the server configuration and nothing else.Consider an example:Google Server is able to get 1 million requests at a time, at a single second. Now even if there is one additional request which is greater than 1 million, the server auto scales and that request is allocated. The servers at Google are automatically scaled up (updated) based on the total number of user requests at a particular instance.Indian government server are for example able to handle 10,000 requests at a time, at a single second. Now when there is additional requests, i.e. 10,001, the server doesn’t respond and you get an error as to the server or the website is unavailable.When a server is affected due to huge traffic which it is (server) is not able to handle or allocate the requests, it shows an error. We encounter this on Indian government sites and not on Google, as there is a huge difference between Google’s server and Indian government’s server.Although, there are many updates in the server in India and the government is working in order to scale up their servers, make websites more optimized and improve digitization in the country.For any digital or IT services and in order to make your work digitize, you can always trust Techno Code LLP - Solutions for SimplicityI hope next time you and we the people of the country, India, don’t face such issue.Hope this answer helps you.Thank you.
What are the effects of internal controls in financial management in gevernment ministries?
It reduces risk of material misstatement and fraud from the particular government ministry. I.E. A ministry that has excellent accounting controls and separation of duties will be less likely to report errors in financial statements versus a ministry that has poor accounting controls.
Why didn’t the government bailout Enron or Arthur Andersen?
The government should not engage in the practice of picking winners and losers in the free market economy. A form of cronyism, bailouts are a choice made by politicians as to who can make fatal errors without consequences for their bad decisions. This is what many people see as a failure of capitalism when it is in truth a failure of government. Government must not insulate any entity whether a corporation or a person from the consequences of bad decisions.
What mistakes did the management of Neptune Orient Line make in recent years that caused it to be sold by the Singapore government despite the company holding strategic value to the country?
The Shipping industry in general has been a downturn since the economic crash of 2008. Rather than any errors in management judgement, the external factors in NOL's case were too overbearing to allow any chance of survival in a tough market. Shipping industry is responsible for moving close to 90% of the worlds goods. Bear in mind therefore that Shipping is reliant on the health of the world's economy. Naturally, weaker economy globally results in lesser demand for consumer goods and that in turn affects the volumes of cargos which the ships carry and therefore affects the revenue of the shipping companies.Presently, shipping is in a consolidation mode, trying to stay afloat in an environment of very weak revenues and rising costs.Commercial pool operators are in fashion. So are Merger and Acquisitions.The big fish envelop the small fish to sustain a certain level of industry competence. It is a race to the bottom with no end in sight.Considering the environment where fiscal policies the world over are struggling to create growth, arguably, there is a slim chance of any recovery happening.So therefore the shareholders come to a cross road where they need to decide to consolidate / struggle in isolation / exit.These are the crossroads where NOL was at.And apparently, the major shareholder (TEMASEK- about 60% shareholding) has decided to exit and cut their losses in view of the weaker global economic forecast.
Pros/Cons for heath care run by government?
You're going to get a lot of mocking for the idea of a government run health care system - some of it deserved, and some is just ignorance. Some of the main advantages of a government run health care system COULD be: -reduced costs by eliminating insurance billing as well as unpaid bills by those without coverage. -a healthier society because people are getting more preventative care. -less rationing based on income or insurance provider¹. -a more integrated system which reduces medical errors as the result of sharing information. ¹ Many people fear there would be rationing if the government ran health care, but we already have rationing because of the profit motives of insurance companies and the lack of access to health care by those who don't have coverage. On the flip side, government programs tend to have a lot of waste and they are often prone to fraud. Depending on how the system is implemented, it could also lead to high taxes. However, when I looked into the tax rates of countries with universal health care systems, it did not appear their tax rates were unreasonably higher than what we currently pay. And any higher tax rates could be offset by savings in insurance premiums and out of pocket health care expenses. The other fear people have of universal health care systems is the idea of the government dictating the care your doctor provides. Perhaps it's a valid fear, but is it any worse than the current system where health care decisions are often made by insurance company bean counters who decide based on profit motives rather than your best interests. When debating public health care vs the current system, many people will argue something to the effect of "better the devil you know". It's difficult to argue against that point because scraping the existing system to implement a new system creates a lot of uncertainty and a lot of potential for things to go wrong. Personally, I look at the fact that our current system is broken in many ways. The insurance companies have had decades to try and develop a system that works well, but things only seem to be getting worse every year. For that reason, I think the entire health care system is in need of serious change. In my opinion, some form of universal health care is the better option.
"To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential." Isn't that right?
To blame your mistakes on another is not very adult like, in fact, I would consider this quite immature. You have to accept your mistakes, learn from them. Blaming someone else just validates you cannot be trusted, and would lie to get out of anything.
4. What topics should be included in a report to management at the end of the preliminary investigation?
The IT director opened the department staff meeting today by saying “I’ve got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that management approved the payroll system project this morning. The new system will reduce clerical time and errors, improve morale in the payroll department, and avoid possible fines and penalties for noncompliance. The bad news is that the system must be installed by the end of December in order to meet new federal reporting rules, costs must be within the budgeted amount, the new system must interact with existing systems, and the vice president of finance insists on approving the final design.”
Will risk management grow or shrink at hedge funds due to high frequency trading?
High frequency trading peaked and is declining. When it was growing, it reduced some risk management challenges—markets were more liquid, reduced worry about human error or malfeasance—and increased others—the possibility of novel types of self-reinforcing trading behavior, more worry about computer errors. It did cause a burst of risk management activity, but no more than other innovations. I don't expect it to have a permanent effect on risk management activity at hedge funds.

True-or-false about internal controls?
1. The components of internal control are built on the foundation of the ethical tone set by top management. True 2. Once every three months, managers need to review operations to ensure that control procedures work effectively. False 3. Collusion refers to the act of a single individual circumventing internal control procedures. False 4. Detective control procedures are designed to detect errors or fraud that have already occurred, while preventive control procedures are designed to keep errors or fraud from occurring in the first place. True 5. Fraud committed by top-level employees is more difficult to detect because those employees more often have the ability to override internal control features. True 6. A good example of separation of duties would be having one person collect cash from customers and account for it, while having another person order inventory and maintain control over it. False 7. Employee tips historically have been the most common means of detecting employee fraud. True 8. Detective controls include reconciling the physical assets of the company with the accounting records and comparing actual performance of individuals or processes against their expected performance. True 9. Effective internal controls and ethical employees ensure a company’s success. False
