...Overall Accounting Cycle Hannah Tran ACC/421 November 11, 2013 Overall Accounting Cycle Maintaining a set of accounting records is not optional, especially for large companies or whomever needs to go through financial audits. These accounting records are done through-out what it is called an accounting cycle. An accounting cycle is a set of procedures to record transactions and prepare financial statements (Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield, 2012). This is also to ensure the accuracy and conformity of financial statements to GAAP. This set of procedures includes: (1) identifying and measuring transactions; (2) journalizing; (3) posting; (4) preparing an unadjusted trial balance; (5) making adjusting entries; (6) preparing an adjusted trial balance; (7) preparing financial statements; and (8) closing (Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield, 2012) . This paper will summarize the overall accounting cycle for the inventory department at Sunrise Growers. Nowadays with the help of computerized accounting system, mathematical errors have been reduced tremendously when recording accounting transactions. In addition, computerized accounting system has minimized the workload and increased productivity. Although Sunrise Growers uses a computerized accounting system to record transactions, this paper will assume the accounting cycle done is manually. Identifying and Measuring transactions This step is to analyze the transactions and determine what to record. On October 10, Sunrise...

...Cookie Jar Reserves and Conservative Accounting ACCT 495 Professor Jastrzebski Fall 2013 Cookie Jar Reserves and Conservative Accounting SUMMARY O'Brian Software, a multimillion dollar software company, provides custom software systems, maintenance, support and training. Nick, a recent college graduate, just began working for the family run software company. After being hired to the firm's accounting department, Nick began to suspect unintentional and misleading revenue recognition . Nick believes his Aunt Amelia, founder and CEO, is an honest business woman and that her chosen CFO, Lee Marchetti, is also an honest man. Nick also knows that the financial statements have been reviewed and approved by the internal and external auditors and the firm's internal controls are effective. Despite these facts, Nick believes the firm has been smoothing earnings and creating inflated reserves. Most firms are usually charged with inflating earnings instead of under reporting, but both are equally illegal and unethical. After approaching Lee Marchetti with his concerns, Nick has informed his aunt, who has little accounting knowledge, of his suspected issues. Nick and Aunt Amelia are now faced with the decision as to whether or not the audit committee should be made aware of these concerns. ISSUES There are three issues at play regarding proper accounting and ethical business practices. The first issue is whether or not O'Brian...

...and WorldCom, Congress enacted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Act is considered by many to be the most important legislation affecting the auditing profession since the 1933 and 1934 Securities Acts (Arens, 2010). The Act also established the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). The PCAOB provides oversight for auditors of public companies, establishes auditing and quality control standards for public company audits, and performs inspections of the quality controls at audit firms performing those audits (Arens, 2010). But the question is, are these regulations effective against corporate fraud and protecting investors? It is my opinion that the most important sections of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are sections 302, 404, and 802. Section 302 holds a company’s CEO and CFO accountable for their financial reports. They must sign off on the financial reports stating that they have reviewed the report and that the report does not contain any untrue information or omissions. I firmly believe that this section is effective, CEOs and CFOs can no longer “turn a blind eye” or use the excuse that they didn’t know what was going on in their company. Section 404 pertains to the assessment of a company’s internal controls. The auditing firm of a public company must attest to and report on the assessment on the effectiveness of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting (Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002). Section 404 also requires management to identify the framework...

...Q1) The U.S. saving and loan crisis is the biggest banking downfall after the great depression in 1929, the biggest percentage arise from Texas state saving failure. Saving and loans used to be banks that low interest rate to help people with limited income, at the same time the federal bank require these banks to funds mortgage by there saving account. In the 1980’s saving accounts became unpopular and the banks loss there costumers. The banks asked the Congress to remove the restriction on loans to value ratio, then they start rising their capital by investing in the commercial loans and speculative real estate, at the began it increased their assets by huge amounts, in some Texas banks it increased by 100% each year. In 1983, 35% of the banks were unprofitable and 9% went bankrupts, the federal insurance gradually run out of money and the banks continue providing bad loans until 1989 the Congress and the president informed about this problem and they interfered in it and solve by providing $50 billions to close failed banks and stop the losses, then the formed new government agency called the resolution trust corporation RTC to deal with miss done by these banks and to refunds the depositors. (1). In easy way we can say the reasons of the U.S 1980’s crisis is the absence of efficient oversight, these banks gave loans to every one without taking concern of how they will pay it back, the main reason in our view is that people could not pay back there loans. (2). The same problem...

...Assignment Week 1 The Case of Phar-Mor Inc Devry University ACCT 525-15768 January 12, 2014 Abstract The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was implemented with the sole purpose of assuring the investors in the financial reporting system. One example is a case such as Phar-Mor which fabricated their inventory in most of their retail stores in order to conceal a massive fraud by the leading executives. Or the Waste Management scandal which did things such as capitalizing items which should have been left on the income statement in order to increase their assets. Lastly, Enron, which had such an elaborate scheme in place that it was hard to decipher and was only uncovered when the CEO stepped down. It is not to say that SOX could have prevented these scandals but instead it helped create this act that will help set place 11 laws or sections to help deter such elaborate frauds in future leading companies. Week 1 Assignment-The Case of Phar-Mor Inc The Phar-Mor accounting scandal of $500 million was a massive fraud conducted by upper management which ultimately led to its bankruptcy in 1992. President Michael Monus, chief financial officer Patrick Finn, vice president of finance Jeffrey Walley, controller Stanley Charelstein, and accounting manager John Anderson were all convicted of financial statement fraud. As a result of this fraud charges were also filed against Phar-Mor’s independence audit company, Coopers & Lybrand LLP (Coopers). It is in direct response to accounting...

...Pensions ACCT 302 Pensions help us live with an income as we get older and have retired. “A pension plan is a financial arrangement that allows individuals to continue receiving some type of regular income even after they are no longer active in the workforce.” (1) Most of the pension options out there are used when you retire however there are certain instances where you can collect a pension before retirement due to a disability. Pension plans are also interchangeable with retirement plans they are basically the same thing. Pensions are based on years of service and what has been put into them both by the employee and the employer over the years of service. There are also pensions offered by government so it is possible to have both pensions’ types. The types of pensions overseen by government are handled by the Social Security Administration. Then there are disability pensions to help people take care of themselves in the event that they become disabled and are not able to work. This is usually done through a medical professional who has to deem them incapable of work due to health reasons. The first pensions came in 1717 when the “Presbyterian Church created a fund for Pious Uses to provide for retired ministers.” (2) However it was not until 1875 that the first pension was created for the United States and it was by the American Express Company. Then it took till 1884 for the first major employer to catch on and it was by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. They...
