Introduction
The paper explains the regression analysis's outcomes on the financial data collected from both
Fraud and Non-Fraud Companies and the narration of the key financial indicators descriptive
analysis. Regression analysis is the tool to find out and describe the relationships inside financial
indicators and the descriptive analysis serves the purpose of understanding the distribution and
dispersion of these parameters. This analysis is performed by using predictive modelling
techniques that are used in fraud detection, namely: decision tree, multiple regression analysis,
clustering analysis, logistic regression, and neural networks. All the models are evaluated using
different metrics and one of them is the accuracy, precision, recall, support, and F1, (Yacouby,
R., & Axman, D., 2020). The main research question will be to figure out whether different
analytics techniques can be somehow used to detect fraudulent activities within the data set. In
order to answer these questions, I will conduct a number of sub-sections, for example: studying
the descriptive statistics of the dataset, using linear regression models, creating visualizations
using Tableau, and implementing predictive analytics using machine learning.

Brief Description of Techniques
Descriptive Statistics:
Descriptive analysis refers to the summarized information about the data,
which includes the measure of central tendency as well as the dispersion measure, and the
distribution, which is helpful to understand the characteristics of the data.
Linear Regression:
A basic linear regression model is applied to estimate the connection
between dependent and independent variables. In the light of this, the learning will help to know
how factors may contribute the occurrence of fraudulent practices.
Tableau Dashboard:
Tableau has the capability to create an interactive and informative
dashboard with the aim of delving deep into data visually and uncovering hidden trends or
patterns that would otherwise have remained untapped.
Predictive Analytics (Machine Learning):
Machine-learning algorithms like decision tree, logistic regression and neural networks can be used to identify fraudulent behavior on the basis of the patterns that are available from previous data.
Analytical Reports
Descriptive Report and Linear Regression:
This section will give a brief descriptive report of the dataset’s characteristics, and then it will
contain a linear regression analysis on the next five to study the connection between the
variables. The database will be completed on Excel, containing the main findings from
descriptive analysis and regression. The statistical analysis revealed various differences between
the groups and made outliers or extreme values in many ratios and performance indicators
4
visible, (Yacouby, R., & Axman, D., 2020). The tail events often exhibited leptokurtic behavior,
spanning equally to both sides, and were either positively or negatively skewed, based on the
direction of the tail events. However, the regression result was the highest among the dependent
variables with the return on assets as the independent variable (M-Score, Current Ratio, Quick
Ratio, Accounts Receivable Turnover, and Asset Turnover).
REGRESSION
The first multiple linear regression was created by selecting the data of Fraud companies, with
the dependent variable of Net Profit Margin, and the independent variables M score, Debt to
Equity, Quick Ratio, Accounts Receivable Turnover, and Return on Assets. The Multiple R
(0.13) shows a positive weak relationship and R Square (0.01769) a weak relationship between
Net Profit Margin and the independent variables. Meanwhile Adjusted R Square is negative (-
0.0216115) which is less than R Square, interpreted as invaluable.

Regarding the relationship between the independent variable of Net Profit Margin with M Score,
Debt to Equity, Quick Ratio, Accounts Receivable turnover, and Return on Assets, since the P-
5
value is greater than the significance level of 0.05, the relationship with the net profit margin of
the fraud companies confirms as statistically insignificant.

The second multiple linear regression was generated by selecting the same dependent variable
but only of the Non-Fraud companies, and the independent variables, Mscore, Debt to Equity,
Quick Ratio, Accounts Receivable Turnover, and Return on Assets. The Multiple R
(0.17) shows
a positive weak relationship and R Square (0.031) a weak relationship between Net Profit
Margin and the independent variables. Also, Adjusted R Square (-0.027) is invaluable as it is less
value than R Square.

The results of the P-value of these variables is greater than 0.05, meaning again the relationship
is statistically insignificant between the data of the Non-Fraud Companies.

The third multiple linear regression was with the selection of Mscore data only of Fraud
companies as the dependent variable and the independent Variables of Gross Profit Margin, Debt
on Equity, Current Ratio, EBITDA, and Return on Equity. The Multiple R
(0.024) shows a
positive weak relationship and R Square
(0.00059) a weak relationship between Net Profit
Margin and the independent variables. Also, Adjusted R Square
(-0.0393) is invaluable as it is
less value than R Square.

Project Implementation Plan for Culinary Tourism.:
• You will be creating a Project Implementation Plan for the new service to be offered by your team/group
• Step 4 - Outline of Deliverables - Deliverables are the tangibles of your company. Outlining the deliverables, you hope to create can serve as a resource. This will include time frames/ due dates for ensuring the product/ service is brought to the market. For example - you can use the GANTT CHART for this part (GANTT chart helps teams to plan work around deadlines and properly allocate resources). You are also required to assign tasks for team members for which they would be accountable, and allocate resources for each input required.

Mini Case Study - EAP
Mary Jones was recently appointed to the new position of director of employee assistance programs at Mega Hotels. Over the objections of her boss, the director of human resources, Mary quickly instituted an alcohol and drug abuse awareness program in each of the hotel’s properties. Her boss opposed the program on the basis that Mega Hotels knew little about the kinds of problems its employees faced.
Mary established in-house programs at each property in the chain and hired specialists to implement and supervise the programs. The annual salaries of the five specialists averaged $24,000.
Three months later, the president of Mega Hotels asked for a status report on the employee assistance program. At that time, Mary could report only a five percent employee participation rate. The president was disappointed with this rate and threatened to cancel the program. The president asked Mary to evaluate the progress of the program and to make recommendations for its…

How Can You Get to a Backlog of over 100 Projects?
There are never enough resources to get everything done." Backlogs build over time. Sacred cow
projects get included in the selection system. Projects proposed from people who have left the airline stil
reside in the project portfolio. Non-value-added projects somehow make their way into the project
portfolio. Soon the queue gets longer. With everyone in IT working on too many projects concurrently,
project completion and productivity are slow.
Which Projects Remain?
To cut the number of projects, the steering committee used a weighting scheme that reflected the airline's
priorities, which were: fly safe, generate revenue, reduce costs, and customer service. The weighting
scheme easily weeded out the fluff. Coady noted that "by the time you get to the 20s the margin of
differentiation gets narrower and narrower." Of the remaining projects, project sponsors had to have solid
justification why their project is important. Reduction of the…

FAO-Funded Aquaponics Project Launched In Barbados
Barbados GIS – The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has collaborated with the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy, and local business. Adams Aquafarms, on a project to train persons in aquaponics.
Aquaponics is a sustainable way of integrating land-based fish farming with plant production. Both are placed in a tank, and the set up allows for them to coexist, with the waste produced by the fish fertilizing the plants, while the plants purify the water for the fish.
The training, funded by the FAO, will take place at a demonstration facility, located at Adams Aquafarms, Hopewell, St. Thomas. The FAO is currently targeting 30 entrepreneurs and 10 teachers.
Minister of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy, Kirk Humphrey, believes the project will be “transformative”, as it has the potential to empower Barbadians.
