In the afternoon, Anne Hayes, a recently qualified accountant and member of the audit team, was following an audit
trail on some cash payments when she discovered what she described to the audit partner, Zachary Lincoln, as an
‘irregularity’. A large and material cash payment had been recorded with no recipient named. The corresponding
invoice was handwritten on a scrap of paper and the signature was illegible.
Zachary, the audit partner, was under pressure to finish the audit that afternoon. He advised Anne to seek an
explanation from Frank Monroe, the client’s finance director. Zachary told her that Van Buren was a longstanding client
of Fillmore Pierce and he would be surprised if there was anything unethical or illegal about the payment. He said
that he had personally been involved in the Van Buren audit for the last eight years and that it had always been
without incident. He also said that Frank Monroe was an old friend of his from university days and that he was certain
that he wouldn’t approve anything unethical or illegal. Zachary said that Fillmore Pierce had also done some
consultancy for Van Buren so it was a very important client that he didn’t want Anne to upset with unwelcome and
uncomfortable questioning.
When Anne sought an explanation from Mr Monroe, she was told that nobody could remember what the payment
was for but that she had to recognise that ‘real’ audits were sometimes a bit messy and that not all audit trails would
end as she might like them to. He also reminded her that it was the final day and both he and the audit firm were
under time pressure to conclude business and get the audit signed off.
When Anne told Zachary what Frank had said, Zachary agreed not to get the audit signed off without Anne’s support,
but warned her that she should be very certain that the irregularity was worth delaying the signoff for. It was therefore
now Anne’s decision whether to extend the audit or have it signed off by the end of Friday afternoon.
Required:

The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this war is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of the French.
France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. When the French built a fort on the Ohio, River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1754. However, the French defeated Washington.
The French, aided by the Indians, outsmarted the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec, Canada, General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France. Both generals died in this battle, but the English outlasted the French and won the battle. Thus, most of North America today has the English culture and language.

The aim of a letter of application(求职信) is to help you to "sell" yourself. It should state【21】the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have【22】. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without【23】out any necessary facts. In writing a letter of application, keep in【24】that the things a possible employer is most【25】to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements(成绩) and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.【26】the first few sentences fail to【27】the reader's attention, the rest of the letter may not be【28】at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not【29】your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with "I saw your【30】in today's newspaper," you might say "I have made a careful【31】of your advertising during the past six months." or "I have made a survey(调查) in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives【32】your product and why they like it."
Try not to look ordinary. Be clear【33】the kind of job for which you are now【34】. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask, "What can I【35】in a letter? Employers want experience--which, naturally, no【36】has." The answer is that everything you have ever done is【37】
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.【38】a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something certain to do or expect. An excellent【39】is to enclose(内附) a stamped, self- addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it【40】for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
