The contribution of Stanley Milgram has been significant in the field of social psychology. Milgram conducted experiments of human behavior in a laboratory setting and concluded that obedience to authority usually disregards moral or legal normative standards. An individual's behavior is thus shaped by the environment, people around, and his figure of authority. "Because humans are social animals, human behavior is strongly influenced by behavior of other humans; this influence is often very direct"(Aarts & Dijksterhuis, 2003; Pg. 18). The current paper investigates as to what extent the human behavior is influenced by others. The paper adopts an investigative approach and cites peer reviewed articles to substantiate the discussion. Social identity theory is also an important theoretical explanation that explains how and why an individual voluntarily gets influenced from socially constructed relationships.

According to Figure A-1, Major Features of Columbus Consolidated Government's Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements, the accrual accounting method is the city's preferred form of accounting, in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). Accrual accounting is used within all of Columbus' citywide bookkeeping because the GASB has issued clear mandates as to the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) that municipal governments can implement. As the CAFR states, "the government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements" (Hodge, 2012). The stated reason for using this accounting method is that "under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows" (Hodge, 2012). Accrual accounting is the preferred form of accounting used by municipal governments because it provides a more accurate representation of a city's financial situation, with the formerly typical practice of transferring one year's debts to the next fiscal year curtailed entirely.
