...ggrgegregrgregrg fefe A report or account is any informational work (usually of writing, speech, television, or film) made with the specific intention of relaying information or recounting certain events in a widely presentable form. Written reports are documents which present focused, salient content to a specific audience. Reports are often used to display the result of an experiment, investigation, or inquiry. The audience may be public or private, an individual or the public in general. Reports are used in government, business, education, science, and other fields. Reports use features such as graphics, images, voice, or specialized vocabulary in order to persuade that specific audience to undertake an action. One of the most common formats for presenting reports is IMRAD: Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion. This structure is standard for the genre because it mirrors the traditional publication of scientific research and summons the ethos and credibility of that discipline. Reports are not required to follow this pattern, and may use alternative patterns like the problem-solution format. Additional elements often used to persuade readers include: headings to indicate topics, to more complex formats including charts, tables, figures, pictures, tables of contents, abstracts,and nouns summaries, appendices, footnotes, hyperlinks, and references. Some examples of reports are: scientific reports, recommendation reports, white papers, annual reports, auditor's reports, workplace...

...Memo To: Outside CPA From: CC: Manager Date: April 25, 2011 Re: CPA Report Below I have summarized an explanation to the questions that came about during your examination of a subsidiary that has been set up as a corporation. • The methodology used to determine deferred taxes. The deferred taxes reported are a temporary difference. The deferred taxes were calculated based on what needed to be reported versus what has been posted to the corporations’ books. The “temporary difference is the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported (carrying or book) amount in the financial statements, which will result in taxable amounts or deductible amounts in future years” (Kieso, el. 2007, Ch. 19). The corporation has taken the balance sheet approach to account for this timing issue and SFAS 109 guidelines have been followed. • The procedures for reporting accounting changes and error corrections. According to Kieso, Weygandt, and Warfield (2007, Ch. 22), and the Financial Accounting Standards Board [FASB], reporting accounting changes should be done using the retrospective approach. The retrospective approach reflects the changes done in previous financial statements so that they are more comparable. To report these changes first the corporation adjusts each prior period financial statements and then the corporation “adjusts the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the first year presented”...

...to realize that employees are leaving the company at an alarming rate. She was also able to get information from several of her colleagues about the reason for the high turnover rate. The franchise employee handbook clearly mentions that any unethical behavior is not tolerated and that employees should come forward to report the incidents to the proper manager.

...being issued out to Reps (who than used the inventory to close big deals and/or to gain business). Days into my new duty I noticed that the amount of merchandise being issued out was not being returned and/or lost. Reps were not being held accountable for the devices and there was no way to track how much inventory was being issued to each Rep. I knew this was becoming a problem and needed to be addressed immediately, so I emailed my supervisor and asked to have a one-on-one to discuss possible resolutions. During our meeting, I presented him with a Past Due Report, which would keep track of who checked out what inventory, their reporting manager, their associate director and the dollar amount of all equipment that was out in the field. I explained how the report would create responsibility, structure and the opportunity to be more successful for all who was actively involved with this program. Accountability. Since the report was approved and has now become a permanent piece of this program, Reps have become more responsible and careful with the inventory they are demonstrating. I am able to determine what they have checked out and how much it is all worth. Also, the devices are only to be checked out 2 weeks at a time. If a Rep should have their devices longer than the allotted time, an email is sent to them as well as the associated director and a freeze is placed on the Rep until the...
