When it became clear in early 2020 that the Covid-19 pandemic was poised to wreak havoc on the economy, most companies scrambled to build their cash buffers to navigate the stormExcept for mining companies, which have been riding on the back of a supersonic rally in commodity prices, companies from property funds to retailers withdrew cashrom credit lines, halted dividend payments and stopped buying backs hares.But you would expect shareholders in telecoms companies, especially MTN, which issued its annual results on Wednesday, to be among those laughing all the way to the bank as telecoms services were more essential than ever during the first waves ofthe pandemic when economies where shutdown and millions of people were forced to work from home.No such luck.

I just need help with clearification in this question business law, thank you To comply with accounting principles, a company that engages in software development must either “expense” the cost (record it immediately on the company’s financial statement) or “capitalize” it (record it as a cost incurred in increments over time). If the project is in the pre- or post-development stage, the cost must be expensed. Otherwise it may be capitalized. Capitalizing a cost makes a company look more profitable in the short term. Digimarc Corp. announced that it had improperly capitalized software development costs over at least the previous eighteen months. The errors resulted in $2.7 million in overstated earnings, requiring a restatement of prior financial statements. Zucco Partners, LLC, which had bought Digimarc stock within the relevant period, filed a suit in a federal district court against the firm. Zucco claimed that it could show that there had been disagreements within Digimarc over its…

operation managment Hi class, I had to do a bit of research to learn about what these two types of budgets are. I found that zero based budgeting gets its name because it assumes that the budget is build from zero. Or, nothing is carried over from previous years/periods. A benefit of this, is that it forces the team to carefully examine each expense added to the budget, since nothing is carried over from before. Incremental budgeting is very different as it does take into account previous periods to build budgets. By using the previous budget as a base, and making adjustments as needed, it allows for a fluid, "forward-looking budget", as the article put it. Thanks for reading, Angel M.

While working as a new employee at the Defense Contracting Audit Agency, you noticed that a fellow employee was studying intensely for the Financial Accounting section of the CPA test. You planned to sit for that test section in two months, and your colleague was sitting for that test section next Thursday. On Thursday evening, you phoned your friend to see how she was doing after the test. She thanked you for being considerate and told you that she was emotionally drained. Nonetheless, she then kept you on the phone for 15 minutes, telling you about the “nasty” Statement of Cash Flows and Consolidation problems she encountered. What is the ethical issue? Did either of you commit a discreditable act under the Code of Conduct?

Why Budgeting Kills Your Company? Which is better,the old fashioned way of TOP DOWN budgeting, or the new way as described in the article and state why you have come to this conclusion. The average billion-dollar company spends as many as 25,000 person-days per year putting together the budget. If this all paid off in shareholder return, that would be fine. But few organizations can make that claim. In fact, many firms now question the ROI of traditional budgeting altogether and are looking for alternatives that reduce time and better align spending with strategy. Look at your own company's budget process: Has it really helped you do a better job of belt tightening during the current slowdown? Many companies have reverted to more centralized command-and-control procedures to keep a tight rein on costs—but the dynamics of the budgeting process often undermine this effort. "In tough times like these, any significant real cost growth feels imprudent and is hard to justify for most…
