(the defendant). Cruz’s parents sent an email to Fagor on the date of the occurrence detailing said incident, and the defendant responded by denying liability. Cruz filed a complaint against Fagor alleging causes of action for negligence and product liability. Through his attorney, Cruz mailed the summons and complaint addressed to the company’s Chairman of the Board through certified mail requesting a return receipt. The receipt indicated that the envelope was accepted and signed for by an individual at the company headquarters, but Fagor failed to file an answer or make any appearance until after the plaintiff had entered a motion for a default judgment against the defendant. The defendant filed a motion to set aside the entry of default and the default judgment, which the court granted on the grounds that there was no proof that the summons and complaint:

The requirements of the applicable financial reporting framework relevant to accounting estimates, including related disclosures

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate (Louwers & Reynolds, 2007). We believe that the audit evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As the business environment grows and companies find new ways to expand into their respective - or even new – markets, it is important that reporting standards stay up to date with changes and continue to assist companies in providing their users with useful accounting information. Information is labelled as being useful when it meets the

The authors recognised that it was not possible to justify all the extensions noted because of the absence of any statement by the company or an assurance provider about the extensions. Related to Notes and MD&A, they found that only 13 XBRL documents included notes, and only one of these also provided MD&A. None of the companies had an accountant’s report or assurance report, although three earlier filings by two companies had assurance reports.

IAS27 was amended in 2011 and therefore supersedes any previous IAS27 policies that were in place. This policy is directly linked to all yearly accounting periods on 1st January 2014 onwards and is applicable when a company prepares separate financial statements that meet the terms and conditions of the International Financial Reporting Standards. IAS27 focuses on separate financial statements and consolidations when an organisation combines with another business. Deloitte (2011) points out that IAS27 will guide the entity on how to deal with an adjustment of ownership within business and also accommodates for how to arrange separate financial statements with any subsequent disclosures. Furthermore according to Deloitte (2011) there are two main objectives when it comes to the application of IAS27 and they are; firstly the collaboration and management of consolidated financial accounting statements for several businesses under the strict control of the parent in charge and secondly in accounting for investments regarding subsidiaries to create separate, non-consolidated, financial statements. These financial accounting statements will be formally constructed by the parent company, an associate organisation or a joint venture.

In 1993, Elektra Records informed Sara Hickman that they were releasing her from her recording contract after three records. Getting dropped be her label was not the distressing part, Elektra also informed her that her recently finished album was to be shelved, never to see the light of day. Again, while disconcerting, Hickman felt she could go into the studio and record those songs on the shelved albums for a new record label or just release them herself. But that was when her manager, Kevin Wommack, hit her with even more bad news — that Elektra was enforcing the “Five Year Non-Rerecord” clause. This clause prevents an artist from recording any material on previous albums for five years. The intent and purpose of this clause is to provide the record label a window of exclusivity over an artist’s rendition of a particular song. But, this seemed so mean, so draconian, and Elektra felt there was nothing Hickman could do about it. However, Hickman had something they did not count on, a passionate fanbase that she cultivated a relationship with over her ten year career.
