"We must get it," Erickson Santos, president of Industrial Fasteners, roared. "Without it, we're in big trouble." The "it" Mr. Santos referred to is the renewal of a $20 million loan with Manila First Bank. The big trouble he fears is the lack of funds necessary to repay the existing debt and few, if any, prospects for raising the funds elsewhere. Mr. Santos had just hung up the phone after a conversation with a bank vice-president in which it was made clear that this year's statement of cash flows must look better than last year's. Mr. Santos knows that improvements are not on course to happen. In fact, cash flow projections were dismal. Later that day, Timothy Dela Cruz, assistant controller, was summoned to Mr. Santos's office. "Dela Cruz," Santos barked, "I've looked at our accounts receivable. I think we can generate quite a bit of cash by selling or factoring most of those receivables. I know it will cost us more than if we collect them ourselves, but it sure will make our cash…

PT. Alakishia has been operating in Jakarta for more than 10 years. Aries is one of the employees who is responsible for recording transactions in the purchasing department when ordering raw materials from suppliers. Once, Wilson as the party who made the payments and received the invoices, resigned from the office, so for the moment everything was in Aries' charge. Jenni as COO of PT. Alakitashia really trusts Aries because by seeing the contribution of Aries for a long time, it is also due to the close friendship between them, thus leaving the work entirely and the internal control to Aries itself. This has caused a lack of segregation of duties, so that since it was fully managed by Aries, the number of purchases has increased and it can be seen how the expenses are higher than before, so it is feared that fraud could occur. In addition, Aries has also collaborated with all suppliers and the production department to harmonize the transaction record in the form of the number of units…

The Gray Ferrari I t all got started when Robert L. Johnson had dinner at Mr. K’s Chinese restaurant with Michael Jordan of the Washington Wizards and David Falk, the leading sports agent. When the discussion turned to cars, Johnson mentioned his interest in getting a Ferrari. Both Falk and Jordan recommended their respective dealers but Johnson found the going tough. Only a select number of Ferraris are made annually, and the automaker limits how many are sold through U.S. dealers to about 1,000 units. In practice, anyone placing an order would have to wait over two years for delivery for a car that would cost $200,000 to $300,000 depending on the model. A New Jersey dealer had a Ferrari available, but, at $300,000, Johnson felt the price was too high. Michael Jordan’s dealer had a 360 Modena available for $160,000.
