Before releasing financial statements to the public, Exotic Corporation's board of directors meets to discuss the previous year's results. This exchange is included in the discussion: "Well, this has not been a good year!" says company president Mark Reyes. Revenue is down, while expenses are way up. We'll report a loss for the third year in a row if we don't do some fancy stepping. I can temporarily transfer some land I own into the name of the company, which will help our balance sheet.

The following information is taken from Marsh Marsh Supermarkets Supermarkets annual report: During the first quarter, we made several decisions resulting in a $13 million charge to earnings. A new accounting pronouncement, FAS 121, required the Company to take a $7.5 million charge. FAS 121 dictates how companies are to account for the carrying values of their assets. This rule affects all public and private companies. The magnitude of this charge created a window of opportunity to address several other issues that, in the Company’s best long term interest, needed to be resolved. We amended our defined benefit retirement plan, and took significant reorganization and other special charges. These charges, including FAS 121, totaled almost $13 million. The result was a $7.1 million loss for the quarter and a small net loss for the year. Although these were difficult decisions because of their short term impact, they will have positive implications for years to come. Marsh Supermarkets’…

Roy Akins was the accounting manager at Zelco, a tire manufacturer, and he played golf with Hugh Stallings, the CEO who was something of a celebrity in the community.

He boasted to Hugh he knew of some accounting tricks to increase the company’s income by simply revising a few journal entries for rental payments on storage units. At the end of the year, Roy changed the debits form “rent expense” to “prepaid rent” on several entries. Later Hugh got his bonus, and the deviations were never discovered.
