Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the annual report issued the report on the effectiveness of PulteGroup, Inc. internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. It is their opinion that PulteGroup, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting. Balance sheets, income statements, stockholder equity, cash flows and other financial reports have fairly and accurately reported the PulteGroup, Inc. Company’s financial position. Although still operating at a loss, the gross profit and net income improved from 2009 to 2010. The income from operations declined. From 2009 to 2010, assets and stockholders’ equity both decreased. Liabilities also decreased. Business activities for 2010 resulted in a net cash outflow. The primary driver for cash flow is selling inventory for profit and long-term loans. Due to the low turnover of inventory, voluntary repurchase of certain community development district obligations, and using the cash to internally finance Pulte’s Mortgage division has significantly impacted cash flow. While inventory turnover was low, Pulte remains the industry’s #1 leader. The economy and housing market were the key factors that influenced the company’s financial performance for 2010.

...1. Introduction This report will identify a crisis facing BP company, the Gulf of Mexico spill, and investigate how the organization response to the society. In this report, it will use Legitimacy theory to explain BP’s response to this event. Legitimacy theory can be treated as a explanation for voluntary corporate disclosures in annual report. As (Dowling&Pfeffer, 1975) says a corporation must act in congruence with norms and society value. First of all, Legitimacy theory is based on the concept of substantive rationality and replies upon the notion of a social contract.

As a company, it always use annual report to legitimize the ongoing operation, however, in common situations, it often discloses good news, but its actual behaviors decline which is called legitimacy gap. 2.

The main part of the report is divided into three main parts which are relative accounting standards and policies, company’s current accounting practice and the potential differences between company’s current practice and the accounting standard requirements. The scope of the research report is limited by the Australian Accounting Standard Board (AASB) that it mainly focuses on AASB 101 and AASB 108. Introduction On 26 June 2012, Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) released the results of its analysis of financial reports for years and half-years ended 31 December 2011.

... The primary purpose of this essay is to comparatively analyze information disclosure of intellectual capital in the UK and China, using the content analysis method on company annual reports. In contemporary society, the importance of intellectual capital (IC) and the popularity of using IC to value a company’s competitiveness have been increasing. The definition offered by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (2001) is probably one of the most comprehensive definitions: “…the possession of knowledge and experience, professional knowledge and skill, good relationships and technological capacities, which when applied will give organizations competitive advantage.” Predicting a company’s future market performance is one of the key functions of IC information disclosure (Roslender and Fincham, 2004). Consequently, IC will have a significant role in the future value creation process. This study has some limitations, such as the small sample number, which has implications for how representative the data are. Ten companies in the respective stock markets were selected in the UK and China (total twenty) and content analysis was performed. A larger sample would have made the calculations too complex for the time available. The following paper reports the results of empirical research indicating that the trend of IC information disclosure is steadily increasing in both China and the UK, indicating that British companies had a better approach than...
