Ethics and Sale of Operating Component It is the end of 2019, and, as an accountant for Newell Company, you are preparing its 2019 financial statements. On December 29, 2019, Newells management decided to sell one of its major divisions, subject to some legal work that is expected to be completed during the first week in April 2020 after the 2019 financial statements have been issued). During 2019, the division earned a small operating income that is just enough for the company to report record earnings for the year. However, the estimated fair value of the division at the end of 2019 is less than its net book value, so that management anticipates the component will be sold at a loss. Newells president stops by your office and says, You have been doing a fine job. Keep up the good work because you are heading for a promotion in early 2021. Once we report the record earnings for 2019, our shareholders and creditors will be happy. Then I think our earnings for 2020 will be high enough so that the loss we expect to report in 2020 on the sale of the division will not look so bad. After the president leaves your office, you continue preparing the 2019 financial statements. Required: From financial reporting and ethical perspectives, what information, if any, will you include about the upcoming sale of the division in the 2019 financial statements?

Assume you are a newly-hired accountant for a local manufacturing firm. You have enjoyed working for the company and are looking forward to your first experience participating in the preparation of the companys financial statements for the year-ending December 31, the end of the companys fiscal year. As you are preparing your assigned journal entries, your supervisor approaches you and asks to speak with you. Your supervisor is concerned because, based on her preliminary estimates, the company will fall just shy of its financial targets for the year. If the estimates are true, this means that all 176 employees of the company will not receive year-end bonuses, which represent a significant portion of their pay. One of the entries that you will prepare involves the upcoming bond interest payment that will be paid on January 15 of the next year. Your supervisor has calculated that, if the journal entry is dated on January 1 of the following year rather than on December 31 of the current year, the company will likely meet its financial goals thereby allowing all employees to receive year-end bonuses. Your supervisor asks you if you will consider dating the journal entry on January 1 instead of December 31 of the current year. Assess the implications of the various stake holders and explain what your answer will be.
