Read the text and answer to the question.
Classroom interaction is studied from a social interaction perspective to unearth the mechanisms teachers and
students use to conduct their classroom business. Classroom interaction research originated, like all social interaction
research, when in the 1960s recording technology such as cameras and microphones became accessible for researchers.
Recording techniques have ranged from one hand-held camera to several cameras on poles, and from researchers sitting
or even participating in the classroom, to those who witnessed the lesson on a monitor in an adjacent room, or only saw
the recordings afterwards. Audio has been recorded following the available technology and research aims with cameramounted
or separate microphones, or wireless individual microphones on the teacher or on individual students. Recent
digital technology has allowed these different streams to be fed directly into a computer where they can be synchronised
with each other and with subsequent transcripts. Sometimes, classroom recordings have been supplemented by
interviews of different kinds, and ethnographic information on factors such as ethnicity or social class. Also, additional
information has been assembled on school policy or teacher planning, and additional recordings have been in the school
yard, all depending on research aims and researchers’ views on methodology and epistemology.

Empowering teachers to promote inclusive education, a literature review
It is important that assessment processes and procedures in ITE (Inclusive Teaching Education) are coherent, using a
variety of assessment modes, for formative as well as summative purposes (Teaching Council, 2011a). The European
Commission (2014) notes that prospective teachers are often assessed using portfolios, which might prepare them to use
this type of assessment in their teaching. Literature Review 25 The Agency’s TE4I report noted the need for assessment in
ITE to change in line with more active teaching methods. It stressed that across both academic assignments and school
practice there is a need for: ‘assessment for learning’ approaches that encourage student/teachers to reflect on their
own work and performance and […] formulate their own targets for improvement (European Agency, 2011a, p. 23). It also
noted the importance of guided reflection and teacher educators developing knowledge of students’ understanding to
provide appropriate challenges together with good models of inclusive assessment practice. Echeita (2014) mentions that
at a national or regional level, it is also necessary to set out clear standards for graduating student/teachers, allowing
them to monitor whether they have correctly learned the competences related to inclusive education.

A Catastrophe a Good Audit Trail Can Help You Avoid
PUBLISHED ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 2014 BY ADAM BLUEMNER
Ladies and gentlemen, reintroducing your old, but underappreciated friend: the humble accounting audit trail.
Of course, the idea behind the audit trail is simple, really. When you make an entry or change to your accounting records, your accounting software automatically logs the details for future reference. Who did what, when, how, and for how much? It’s the job of the audit trail to make sure that story is always accessible.
As straightforward as the audit trail is, maintaining and monitoring it properly can keep your business out of some complicated messes, including fraud.
The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimates that 5% of organizational revenues are lost to fraud. That’s more than $3.5 trillion annually defrauded on a global basis. Brought down to the level of the individual organization, the average occupational fraud case amounts to $140,000 of lost revenue.
The audit trail is the fundamental business tool for both identifying and preventing fraud.
Fraud, of course, doesn’t just happen magically. It takes an accumulation of actions that will leave footprints. For instance, a common scheme involves entering a record into the AP ledger, printing a blank check, and then assigning a phony payee after the fraudster has made payment to themselves or someone else in on the scheme. This sort of fraud is relatively easy to detect − if there is an active audit trail being maintained and monitored.
The audit trail doesn’t just provide a mechanism for fraud detection, ..I.. . The presence of a carefully maintained and frequently monitored audit trail also acts as a powerful deterrant, in precisely the same way as a video monitor, alarm system, or any other visible security measure.

Considere o texto abaixo.
"[AuditFile] is a great auditing tool and I love how I can log in while I'm at the client’s office instead of worrying about checking out files like I did with the previous software I used."
− Reviewer A
"AuditFile rocks! I have the opportunity to look at a lot of accounting tools. The sign-up process for AuditFile is one of the easiest I have seen... it only takes a few minutes to be up and running!"
− Reviewer B
"AuditFile.com has been the best project management system we have used, allowing us to easily manage over 20 projects. Their integration of file management and progress reporting has made our practice more efficient. Additionally, the ability to track our target projects with their CRM tool has allowed us to close more deals. Kevin and his team add tremendous value to our small practice."
− Reviewer C
"AuditFile.com has been amazing for our firm. It’s not just a change in platform, but a change in the way we view our audit practice. We now have the reach and resources of firms several times our size. As a small firm who has had parts of their accounting practice in the cloud for years it’s been a goal of ours to move our audit practice to the cloud for quite some time."
− Reviewer D
"AuditFile is a cloud-based audit solution that lets firms track and manage every aspect of the audit, review or compilation process. It's also working on integrating with major online accounting software solutions, so it's more than doing its part to bring audit into the same cloud-based, integrated, automated world that tax and accounting have been in for more than a decade."

Blockchain: An opportunity for accountants? Or a threat?

The emergence of blockchain technology has led to a concern in
the CPA profession that is perfectly understandable.
Technological advances can threaten people’s livelihoods in any
number of professions. The development of the Internet had a
devastating effect on newspaper journalists, and some experts
say self-driving vehicles may cause huge job losses among truck
drivers.
Blockchain, meanwhile, has implications for the accounting
profession. Blockchain is a digital ledger on which transactions
are recorded chronologically and can be viewed by all who have
access. The technology is expected to affect auditing,
cybersecurity, and financial planning and analysis.
Erik Asgeirsson, president and CEO of CPA.com, the technology
arm of the AICPA, said that some CPAs have anxiety that
blockchain might put audit professionals out of business. But
while blockchain is likely to change the way CPAs work, he said,
he is telling accounting firm leaders that the accounting
profession can continue to thrive through the use of blockchain
technology.
“It’s going to be a fantastic, secure database that will have uses,”
he said during a panel presentation Tuesday at the Wall Street
Blockchain Alliance’s Blockchain for Wall Street education day in
New York City. “But it’s not going to put them out of work.”
Large and medium-size CPA firms already are seeing the
implications of blockchain for their clients, Amy Pawlicki, CPA,
vice president–Assurance & Advisory Innovation for the
Association of International Certified Professional Accountants,
said during the panel session. Companies are implementing
blockchain into their enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems,
particularly for tasks such as procurement and supplier
management.
Blockchain’s ledger-based technology can simplify the
procurement process because it enables secure recording of
transactions in a way that can lead to unprecedented
transparency and increased operational efficiency.
“Our auditors are already auditing transactions in the
blockchain,” Pawlicki said.
Blockchain’s transparency gives visibility to all transactions for
approved users, and this may decrease auditors’ work with
sampling and validating transactions. But this allows auditors
more time to focus on controls and investigating anomalies.
Meanwhile, opportunities are emerging for CPAs to use
blockchain technology as they expand their assurance services to
areas such as cybersecurity and sustainability.
“We’ve got a lot of work to do … it’s a great opportunity in an
area where CPAs can add a lot of value,” Pawlicki said.
An important next step for the profession in the use of blockchain
is accommodations for the technology from standard setters and
regulators. SEC Chief Accountant Wesley Bricker, CPA, J.D, said
Tuesday that the commission’s Office of the Chief Accountant is
investing time in understanding blockchain technologies, and
suggested that accounting professionals do the same.
“It is important that those in the accounting profession invest the
time to understand new trends and developments in technology
and commerce to identify their potential effects on financial
reporting to investors,” Bricker said during a speech at a Financial
Executives International conference in New York City.
Past developments such as the emergence of computers, ERP
systems, and cloud computing have merely changed CPAs’ work
instead of making them irrelevant. The same can be true with
blockchain, Asgeirsson said.
“Through every phase,” Asgeirsson said, “what’s really happened
is that the accountant’s and the auditor’s role has just evolved.”
