...shortened to PwC for rebranding purposes. (“Big four (audit firms)”1) According to company revenue records in 2014, PwC is currently the second largest professional services network in the world, and are considered one of the big four auditors, competing with Deloitte, EY and KPMG. (“Big four (audit firms)”1) In addition, PwC has firms across 157 countries with over 195,400 employees. Their total revenue in 2014 is around 34 billion dollars with 15 billion generated by their assurance service, 8.8 billion by their tax services, and 10 billion by their consulting services. (“Big four (audit firms)”1) Types of competition this enterprise faces: PwC is one of the big four auditing companies along with Deloitte, EY and KPMG, therefore making it an oligopoly. Oligopolies provide very similar products, where smaller firms follow the lead of the top four auditors in the industry and consist of fairly inelastic demand. (Richardson 1) Another reason PwC is classified as an oligopoly is because there are many barriers to establishing an auditing company with an established network of services and only the top four have managed to survive and stay in business. (Richardson 1) In addition, PwC’s competing companies; Deloitte, EY and KPMG are all fairly equal in size. For...

...Case 15-5 Trouble at the Resort Resort Co. (the “Company”) is a private company that operates luxury hotel properties. As of December 31, 2010, Resort Co. had $432 million in uncollateralized term loans (the “Original Debt”) outstanding with two lenders, Bank A ($129.6 million) and Bank B ($302.4 million). Note that these are not participating loans. Further, issuance costs associated with the Original Debt in the amount of $3 million remained unamortized as of December 31, 2010 ($900,000 and $2.1 million for the loans held by Bank A and Bank B, respectively). As a result of lower than expected travel during the holiday season, the Company projected a short-term cash flow shortage and would not be able to meet the short-term requirements of the Original Debt. In addition, the Company defaulted on a separate debt instrument with Bank C, which resulted in a cross default on the Original Debt held by Bank A and Bank B. On January 1, 2011, Resort Co. restructured and amended the Original Debt (the “Restructuring”) with Bank A and Bank B. As part of the terms of amending the Original Debt: • The Company sold its 50 percent investment in Resort P in exchange for $250 million, which was used to pay down the loan balance that existed before the amendment. This reduced the Original Debt balance from $432 million to $182 million. • The Company agreed to new interest terms, which included raising the interest rate from 5 percent to 6 percent. The modified interest...

...Diamond Food Case Project Requirement 1 1. Manipulation of commodity cost. As a common practice in the company, management would instruct related accounting employee to decrease the commodity costs by a small incremental at a time, until the desired earning numbers for that period was achieved. 2. Special accounting treatment of grower payments. Diamond made “continuity payment” and “momentum payment” to manipulate cost to growers. These payments were claimed to be advances for multi-year supply from growers, hence the company delay the recognition of these amounts as costs in later periods. However, payments to growers were actually for the crop in prior year although Diamond insisted the payments were for current year; and growers who already cancelled their contracts with Diamond still received this payment, which suggested that these payments, in substance, should have been for previous periods. Diamond used this controversial accounting method to continuously defer part of its payments to later periods, which reduced current costs and increased net income. Conversely, Diamond also increased its current cost by making more payment, when its EPS exceeded the expectation. The “continuity payment” method was continuously applied, and it created a cost pool in future period, which gave the company room to adjust costs and expenses in accordance with the management’s goals. Requirement 2 No, both recording of “continuity” payments and “momentum” payments did not...
