...Financial Statements Kevin Standring ACC 225 September 21 2012 GARRY KIRK Financial Statements There are four different financial statements. Each financial statement is used in different ways. Let us start with the Income Statement. This statement tells a company where and if it made money. Investors will use this statement when deciding if they would like to invest in a company or not. With this statement they will be able to tell if the company is likely to make a profit or lose it. Next you have a Statement of Owner’s Equity. This statement shows the changes in equity over a period of time. It starts with the initial investment and shows what changed the amount of equity such as an owner investing more money into the company or withdrawing more money. The information on in this statement is calculated and used on a balance sheet. This statement is very helpful to show where money was brought in and where it was taken out. This statement leads us to a Balance Sheet. A Balance sheet shows the different kinds of assets, liabilities and equities it also shows the amount of each. The balance sheet also shows how much cash flow a company has at the time of the report. Last but not least you have a Statement of Cash Flow. This statement shows the end cash flow after all the income is added together and all the bills get paid. This is important cause it shows you how much money you have at the end of the...

Who is associated with the accounting judgments and information? In what ways is your family member or friend influenced by the accounting information? 2) Explain one of the four fundamental fiscal statements, and reply the following queries. For what is it usually used? What information is the most important? How does it complement one other fiscal statement? Solutions I have interviewed a buddy who works for Verizon as a Regional Sales Manager. Verizon is a company whose shares are publicly operated. The Chief Financial Officer is the leader of the Finance Division which deals with the organization's financials – whether fiscal, or managerial accounting, and funding. My buddy is impacted by the accounting information because he needs to accomplish a particular sales goal to make sure that the allocated income figures are achieved, and that the expenditures are kept at a particular allocated level. The Declaration of Owners’ Equity records information regarding how value alters during the reporting interval. This statement displays starting capital, activities which enhance it (proprietor assets as well as net income), and activities which reduce it (withdrawals as well as net loss). Closing capital is calculated in this statement and is carried over and described on the balance sheet. This closing capital is...

...Financial Statements Author Axia College of University of Phoenix Financial Statements Through the use of financial statements businesses can efficiently provide internal and external users with information regarding the business assets, liabilities, expenses, and revenue. The financial statements include four important reports: the balance sheet, the income statement, the retained earnings statement, and the statement of cash flow (Kieso, Kimmel, & Weygandt, 2003). The use of these financial statements is important to the success of the company. The Balance Sheet The balance sheet presents the company’s assets and liabilities for internal and external users. The information found on the balance sheet is beneficial to the determination of the company’s eligibility credit and loans. The formula of the balance sheet must be balanced through the total of assets being equal to the liabilities and equity. The Income Statement The income statement, sometimes referred to as the profit and loss statement, is used by the internal and external users of the company to view a comparative of the business revenue to expenses to determine the success of the company for a specified time period. The comparison of revenues and expenses inform users of the net income or net loss associated with the company during that period of time. The Retained Earnings Statement The retained earnings statement provides users with information pertaining to the distribution of...

...Jose Cando ENGL-2327 April 26, 2014 Balcones Fiction and Poetry Winners Reading Event: Natalie Diaz’s Reading of When My Brother Was an Aztec Outside the ACC Theater on April 9th, the public was greeted by tables of refreshment including fruits cheeses and crackers which was a nice surprise. Although, I had expected a packed theater, only about forty people were waiting inside. The event started at 6:30 pm when Charlotte Gullick, the chair of the creative a writing department took the stage. After promoting some of creative writing classes at ACC, she described the significance of the Balcones prizes. A teacher from the English department took the stage next to talk a little more about the Balcones prize. He pointed out that Natalie Diaz was the sixteenth winner of this prize. He described Ms. Diaz as a woman with her foot “in three different worlds.” Her childhood was spent on the Mojave reservation in the California Desert. She attended college in Virginia on a basketball scholarship, and from there she played professional basketball in Europe and Asia. After injuring her knee, she left basketball to study poetry in graduate school. Therefore, he claimed, she has a foot in the worlds of the reservation, basketball and poetry. With that, he welcomed Nathalie to the stage. Nathalie jumped into reading her poem, “When My Brother Was an Aztec.” I was shocked to hear the bitterness and resentment in her voice as she describe her brother as a nasty and careless force which...

...Barings Bank and Nick Leeson Introduction I would like to present the case of Barings Bank, one of the most famous histories in the world when one man led to the bankruptcy the oldest British bank. Barings collapsed on February 26, 1995, due to the activities of one trader, Nick Leeson, who lost almost $1.4 billion. The loss was caused by a large exposure to the Japanese stock market, which was achieved through the futures market. Leeson, the chief trader for Barings Futures in Singapore, had been accumulating positions in stock index futures on the Nikkei 225, a portfolio of Japanese stocks. As the market fell more than 15 percent in the first two months of 1995, Barings Futures suffered huge losses, which were made even higher due to the sale of options, which implied a bet on a stable market. As losses mounted, Leeson increased the size of the position, in a stubborn belief he was right. Finally, on 25 February 1995 he walked away, when he realized that bank was unable to make the cash payments required by the exchanges. Later, he sent a fax to his superiors, offering “sincere apologies for the predicament that I have left you in.” Nick Leeson had totally wiped out the venerable 233-year-old Baring Investment Bank, which proudly counted Queen Elizabeth as a client. He left behind huge liabilities totaling $1.4 billion, more than the entire capital and reserves of the British institution. This situation - and a similar scam at the New York branch of Japan's Daiwa Bank in October...

The main points are recounted here to serve as a backdrop to the main topic of this chapter - the | |policies, procedures and systems necessary for the prudent management of derivative activities. | |Barings collapsed because it could not meet the enormous trading obligations, which Leeson established in the name of the bank. | |When it went into receivership on February 27, 1995, Barings, via Leeson, had outstanding notional futures positions on Japanese | |equities and interest rates of US$27 billion: US$7 billion on the Nikkei 225 equity contract and US$20 billion on Japanese | |government bond (JGB) and Euroyen contracts. Leeson also sold 70, 892 Nikkei put and call options with a nominal value of $6.68 | |billion.

...Topic: The biggest scams in the banking history Course: Banking Students: Nino Vepkhvadze, Gohar Trchunyan, Giorgi Menteshashvili & Giorgi Paksashvili Date: 04.06.2012 A fraud, by definition, is the act of deliberate deception of people to secure an unlawful gain. These are mainly for the purpose of defrauding money as well as prestige rather than immediate financial gain. A study by BBC has revealed that the average woman lies twice a day while a man tells three lies a day. However, the lies they tell differ from each other a lot, both in essence and the results yielded. This is why we decided that the frauds and scams of the banking industry as well as their influence on other financial institutions would be quite interesting and intriguing. Let us together investigate how far a human mind can go to earn as much money and glory as we desire. Jerome Kerviel’s case-Societe Generale on the edge In January 2008, A French court sentenced former Société Générale trader Jérôme Kerviel to three years in prison for his role in one of the world's biggest-ever trading scandals and ordered him to repay his former employer €4.9 billion—a sum it would take him 180,000 years to pay at his current salary.
