Family members, one of whom was delegated to be the office manager and bookkeeper, staffed the company. Although conscientious, the office manager lacked formal accounting training, which became apparent when the growing company was forced in March 20X4 to hire a CPA as controller. Although ostensibly brought in to relieve some of the office manager’s stress, management made it clear to the new controller that they had some concerns about the quality of information they were receiving. Accordingly, the controller made it a priority to review the records of prior years, looking for ways to improve the accounting system. From this review, the following errors were uncovered. The office manager expensed rent on equipment and facilities when paid. Amounts paid in 20X1, 20X2, and 20X3 that represented rent for the subsequent…

Jason Kemp was torn between conflicting emotions. On the one hand, things were going so well. He had just completed 6 months as the assistant financial manager in the Electronics Division of Med-Products Inc. The pay was good, he enjoyed his coworkers, and he felt that he was part of a team that was making a difference in American health care. On the other hand, his latest assignment was causing some sleepless nights. Mel Cravens, his boss, had asked him to “refine” the figures on the division’s latest project—a portable imaging device code—named ZM.

So far, ZM’s rate of return was nowhere near that hurdle rate. Mel encouraged him to show increased sales and decreased expenses in order to get the projected income above $2.34 million. Jason asked for a meeting with Mel to voice his concerns. Jason: Mel, I’ve…
