...Financial Statements Review Anita Coronel, Santiago Nunez-Rivas, Verlendra Ruff & Evelyn Daniels HCS/405 March 17, 2014 Judy Araque . To have a successful hospital or business financial knowledge is critical, the manager in charge of finances must have a good understanding of accounting. Financial decisions are made with more precision and accuracy. In this paper the audited and unaudited financial statements will be discussed, what is the effect of revenue sources on financial reporting at the hospital, and how are the hospital’s revenue and expenses grouped for planning and control. How did the audited and unaudited financial statements differ? (Santiago) The importance of performing proper audits of financial statements should not be underestimated. For example, Patton Fuller performed an audit of their records and found a discrepancy of $1,000 in the 2009 total assets as compared to the unaudited documents. Although some may find this amount as minimal due to the total amount of current assets at hand, finding the mistake is critically important in maintaining the integrity of the organization’s financial records as well as meeting organizational goals.

...Is U.S. manufacturing signaling a recession? By Heather Long @byHeatherLong America's manufacturing sector is losing its spark. Demand has cooled as the global economy slows down, especially in China. What happens in manufacturing is often seen as a leading indicator of U.S. recessions. It's an alarming sign when it starts to look queasy. On Monday, the ISM Manufacturing Index -- the official thermometer of the U.S. manufacturing sector since 1915 -- declined for a fourth straight month. It came in with a reading of 50.1. That's just above the red flag zone. Anything below 50 would signal a manufacturing contraction. The hit to manufacturing is due to three reasons: 1. The dramatic plunge in oil prices 2. The sluggish global economy 3. The strong U.S. dollar None of those factors is likely to change soon. Oil and gas prices are expected to stay low as the world remains flooded with oil. Similarly, the U.S. dollar will probably remain strong, making American goods more expensive relative to European and Asian products. Now there's concern about what this could mean for jobs. Manufacturing had been making a solid recovery from the Great Recession. Over 850,000 jobs came back. Those gains could be in trouble if the sector officially starts shrinking. Related: U.S. economy only grows 1.5% as global slowdown hits Not as bad for the U.S. economy as it looks Still, some experts say it's too early to get concerned. The reality is that manufacturing plays a much...
