...Comparing Financial Reports Using the Form 20F Reconciliation Annie has been hired as an analyst for a relatively small investment company and has had several discussions with her new employer who is interested in expanding its investment options to include more international firms. One issue that Annie has brought up with her boss in their discussions is many investors’ unfamiliarity with financial reports prepared based on accounting standards other than US GAAP. While Annie’s employer seems to appreciate her concerns, Annie has asked you to help her prepare a report for her boss to examine and to use when he needs to explain the issues to the company’s clients. Annie has already located a number of popular press items that she will use to gain a general sense of where US GAAP and IFRS differ. However, she is concerned that she will need more direct information to provide to her employer in order to help him understand the issues at hand. She has examined a number of companies that report using IFRS, but is not sure how to use those reports to help her illustrate her concerns. She has asked you to help her prepare some information that she might use to help her boss better understand the impact on financial reports of using IFRS versus US GAAP. Given the importance of various ratios in financial ratios, you have decided to calculate several commonly used financial ratios using values taken from a company that prepares it financial reports using US GAAP and one...

...down she wanted to see the board of directors, chain of governance, csr - Nokia have self-enlightenment for their work in emerging countries... and then any legal requirements that we think will be relevent to stakeholders. BRIEF HISTORY OF NOKIA Nokia is one of the world's biggest manufacturers of mobile phones. In the 2nd quarter of 2008, it was able to grab 80% share from the global market. It elevated Finland to being an even wealthier country accounting for 30% of it's GDP. Nevertheless, the success of Nokia started from its modest launching. Nokia was born in 1895 when Frederick Idestam built a pulp mill. Originally located in Tampere, a southwestern city in Finland, the company transferred to the town of Nokia so it could utilize the river of Nokianvirta. The company took its name from this river, which was used for the production of hydroelectric power. Nokia as we know it today begins in 1967 with the aquisition of the Finish Cable Works, a telegraph and telephone cables company. Nokia started producing lots of products ranging from newspapers, footwear, bicycles, car tires, televisions and communication cables t personal computers, aluminum capacitors and electricity generation equipment, etc. The decision to alter its operations to mobile communication gadgets started in the 60s.

...be sold individually in the marketplace, while some other intangible assets can be sold. Goodwill is not easy to measure, because it includes exceptional management, desirable locations, customer relations, and so on. The determination of the Goodwill is therefore most of the time very subjective. Companies only record the goodwill when there is an exchange transaction the involves the purchase of an entire business. When the company is purchased by another company, the goodwill on the transaction is calculated as follows: the company debits the identifiable acquired assets and credits the liabilities at their fair values, credits cash for the purchase price and finally records the difference as the goodwill. Give examples of companies who own the intangible asset(s) 1. Famous example is Microsoft completed the acquisition of all of the Nokia Devices and Services (“NDS”) in 2013. Microsoft acquired Nokia for $7.2 billion in 2013. This was a huge opportunity for Microsoft as Nokia's products are trustworthy and have goodwill in the market, with the Nokia Lumia, Nokia Asha, etc. Thanks to this merge, Microsoft has increased its level of synergy, goodwill, brand name, better marketing environment and capability to innovate faster (Verma, 2013). The short effect of this merge was seen in Q4, where Nokia service and devices contributed to $1.99 billion to revenues, but it negatively impacted the operating income with $692 million loss (Trefis team, 2014). ...

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Nokia was a synonym for the mobile phone industry for a long time; however, when it came into the era of smart phones, the former leader was under an awkward situation. Nokia sold its mobile phone business to Microsoft on September 3, 2013. A company following Kodak with the legendary color failed in the impact of the new technology revolution. This was a typical case of the subversion of an industry; therefore, the author believed that it was necessary to analyze the process. This paper studied Nokia’s decline mainly from the three parts. First of all, looking back Nokia’s development process from the glory to the decline, it can be divided into three stages: the transition period, the peak period and the decline period, followed by analyzing the reasons of its decline from three parts: Nokia executives’ grasp for...

...Questions 1 ?? Question 2 Four different non-management stake holder groups are likely to be taking relation to their interactions with a business: Tax authorities: they want to know that the company is giving taxes regularly or not. Customers: they are interested in wheather a company like nokia will continue to honor product warranties and support its product lines. Creditors: they use accounting information to evaluate the risks of granting credit or lending money. Labor unions : such as the football league players association want to know whether the owners can pay increased wages and benefits. Questions 3 Limitation of trail balance : * An error of original entry is when both sides of a transaction include the wrong amount.[1] For example, if a purchase invoice for £21 is entered as £12, this will result in an incorrect debit entry (to purchases), and an incorrect credit entry (to the relevant creditor account), both for £9 less, so the total of both columns will be £9 less, and will thus balance. * An error of omission is when a transaction is completely omitted from the accounting records.[1] As the debits and credits for the transaction would balance, omitting it would still leave the totals balanced. A variation of this error is omitting one of the ledger account totals from the trial balance.[2] * An error of reversal is when entries are made to the correct amount, but with debits instead of credits, and vice versa.[1] For example, if a cash sale...
