...Kan Hsin Lai Case : Nathan Johnson’s Rental Car Reimbursement Key Fact Nathan interviewed with an accounting firm and the accounting firm agreed to reimburse him for the expense of a rental car that used to travel to the firm’s office. Nathan called the rental agency and the agency agreed to credit his card to correct the $ 75 overbilling before sending the receipt for reimbursement. Nathan has a chance to pocket the cash if he send the original receipt to accounting firm and still receive the credit from the rental agency. Relevant Standards ET Section 102, Integrity and Objectivity. How Facts relate to standards This case is a “little” ethical issue. Nathan faces the moral issue and affects his integrity when he makes a decision. If Nathan pockets the money, he violates the ET Section 102. Questions [1] It seems Nathan can rationalize to accept the extra money because Nathan spend his time to make several long-distance phone calls and considerable hassle with the rental agency. But the accounting firm do not know the process of negotiation, the firm may not think Nathan’s behavior is right even though the firm agreed to reimburse the extra expense. Thus, I think Nathan’s planned course of action is not ethical. [2] There are three courses of action that Nathan could take. Action 1. :Nathan received the extra money but do not notice the firm. Action 2. :Nathan contacted the HR manager and let manager know he incurred some cost from the process...

...Proprietary content. Please do not misuse! Accounting All businesses have financial transactions all the time. These are recorded in a particular way. Businesses can be structured in 3 ways: 1. Proprietorship: business with a single owner. Owner has complete liability for all debts of the company. 2. Partnership: business with 2 to 10 equal owners. All partners share complete liability for all debts of the company. 3. Limited company: Many owners with limited liability for debts of the business; this liability is only up to their capital contributed. There are t two types of limited companies: private and public.

Accounting Principles These are called Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP. Key GAAPs are 1.

...Technology in Accounting Rabbit XACC/210 - Accounting Information Systems 08/18/2013 Gregory Ellis Technology in Accounting Information systems are changing various aspects of the accounting profession by dictating the ways that businesses operate. Before the use of computers, or AIS, accountants had to use hand-written ledgers and spreadsheets to keep track of business records. This old method of accounting took hours of time, cases of paperwork, and cost the businesses extra money. If an employer needed to found out information on payroll or inventory, they would have to shuffle through cases and files of paperwork. The more time it took to do this, the more money the employer lost. The businesses that can quickly process raw data and display the information managers require, gain a competitive advantage over companies that lack to ability to move data efficiently through the organization. Accounting information systems have sped up the time that it takes for an accountant to view or change crucial data. Accounting information systems are used to perform tasks in such areas as payroll, accounts receivable, accounts payable, inventory, and budgeting in real-time. It is important for any accountant to stay current with all of the new technological advances. According to “Bagranoff, N. A., Simkin, M. G., & Norman, C. S.” (2010), “Career opportunities abound for those with a solid foundation in Accounting Information Systems, including traditional...

...Extra Credit Assignment ------------------------------------------------- 1. Fifty percent of the sales of Hanson Company sales are for cash; the rest are on credit. Seventy percent of the credit sales are collected in the month of sale, twenty percent in the month following sale, and five percent in the second month following sale. The remainder is expected to be uncollectible. Monthly sales are budgeted as follows: $280,000 for January, $240,000 for February, and $320,000 for March. Prepare a schedule of expected cash collections for the month of March. 2. a) What are the major weaknesses of static budgets? “Directly comparing static planning budget revenues and costs to actual revenues and costs can easily lead to erroneous conclusions. Actual revenues and costs differ from budgeted revenues and costs for a variety of reasons, but one of the biggest is a change in the level of activity. One would expect actual revenues and costs to increase or decrease as the activity level increases or decreases. Flexible budgets enable managers to isolate the various causes of the differences between budgeted and actual costs” (Garrison 397). Garrison, R.. Managerial Accounting, 14th Edition. McGraw-Hill Learning Solutions, 2012. <vbk:0077624319#outline(9.7)>. b) What are the characteristics of a planning budget? “A planning budget is prepared before the period begins and is valid for only the planned level of activity...
