...Pfizer (PFE) Financial Analysis for 2012, 2013 and 2014: Ratio Analysis Abstract The following is a list of these ratios, in conjunction with associative details and background to itemize and explicate the overall financial enquiry: Earnings per Share (EPS), which will illustrate current, along with expected, product losses, unfavorable impact and any adverse change in a foreign exchange rate, along with adjustable income attributable to Pfizer and its shareholder's guidance. The next ratio considered would be Profit Margin Ratio, or Net Profit Margin, to characterize the settlement of adjusted income and weakened EPS guidance to reported net income. With the Return on Assets ratio, stakeholders can configure and acquire current, as well as anticipated dividends, all while maintaining sufficient capital to invest successively and increase global shareholder value – which for now, can maintain to support the annual dividend growth, in addition to the accompanied Gross Profit Rate. Together with this, a Return on Common Stockholders’ Equity can be taken into account with regards to commercial and business development opportunities – leading to a direct, shareholder-value enhancement through actual dividends and repurchases. On the other side of the spectrum, Pfizer’s Current and Cash Debt Coverage ratios clarify and expound upon the potential, yet significant, expected adverse events on revenues due to possible loss and expiration of intellectual property and licensing rights...

...Financial Reporting JOHNSON & JOHNSON ($ millions) (a) The cost of building and building equipment at the end of 2011 was $9,389. (b) As indicated in footnote number 1 to the financial statements, the company utilizes the straight-line method for financial statement purposes for all additions to property, plant, and equipment. Given that straight-line depreciation provides a lower charge for depreciation as compared to an accelerated method in the early years of an asset’s life, the accounting appears to be less conservative. (c) The cash flow statement reports the amount of interest paid in cash ($576). A review of the income statement indicates that Johnson & Johnson incurred interest expense of $571 million (net of capitalized interest of $84 see note 4). FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS CASE (d) Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and dividends. Free cash flow is the amount of discretionary cash flow a company has for purchasing additional investments, retiring its debt, purchasing treasury stock or simply adding to its liquidity. In Johnson & Johnson situation, free cash flow is computed as follows: Net cash flows from operating activities ..................... $14,298 Less: Additions to property, plant and equipment.... 2,893 Dividends........................................................... 6,156 ...

...JOHNSON & JOHNSON: A CASE STUDY ON SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING When compiling data for its sustainability reports, Johnson and Johnson does not request direct input from its managerial accounting staff. What should be the role of management accountants in collecting and reporting sustainability data? Could Johnson & Johnson’s sustainability reporting be improved with input from managerial accountants? Why or why not? The role of the managerial accounting staff in sustainability should extend beyond the obvious one of collecting, analyzing and reporting sustainability-related information. Many accountants fill a variety of other positions within organizations, including senior management, in which they exert a more direct influence on strategy and decision making. The managerial accounting staff has a role to play in understanding, demonstrating and achieving the efficiencies that organizations can gain from sustainable business practices. The pursuit of sustainability depends on the generation, analysis, reporting and assurance of robust and accurate information (both financial and non-financial). But it is important that the managerial accountants gain an understanding of the concepts of sustainability and the challenges it poses in achieving long term growth in shareholder value or value for money. The accountanting staff, directly or in a supportive capacity, can help organizations embed sustainability issues into strategic planning and its execution...

The analysis is based on the five-year time span between 2009 and 2013. This report focuses primarily on P&G’s liquidity and credit management and overall earning power. Both time trend and peer group analyses are utilized to highlight the company’s strengths as well as weaknesses. Certain observed changes are noted and explanations are provided based upon the data collected. Johnson & Johnson (J&J) serves as the basis for the peer group analysis. Stock Price Movements In the past five years P&G has demonstrated a general upward trend in its stock prices.

...There are three “elements” associated in the standards of GAAS; these are general standards, standards of fieldwork, and standards of reporting (Boynton W. & Johnson R., 2006). General Standards require that every auditor must have a formal university education, practical training, and experience in auditing, and continuing education in the auditor’s professional career (Boynton W. & Johnson R., 2006). Therefore, training and ability are very important. An auditor must also be able to think objectively. An auditor cannot have any encouragement from outside sources in decision-making. The last general standard is that the auditor must be proficient and avoid any careless mistakes while contributing to the audit in review (Boynton W. & Johnson R., 2006). Standards of Fieldwork The second element is standards of fieldwork. The standards of fieldwork are the conduct of the auditor while at the entity’s place of business (Boynton W. & Johnson R., 2006). Organization is a very important task while out in the field during an audit. The auditor will have tactics and schedules in place for all personnel assisting with the audit to ensure proper motivation and supervision is given. The auditor will need to know about the entity’s business practice, accounting policies, external factors, entity’s objectives, reviews of financial performance,...
