- Diamond Foods, Inc. (LO 8, 9) In February 2012, the Wall Street Journal reported that Diamond Foods, Inc. fired its CEO and CFO, and would restate financial results for two years. The restatement was required after the company found that it had wrongly accounted for crop payments to walnut growers. The investigation focused primarily on whether payments to growers in September 2011 of approximately $60 million and payments to growers in August 2010 of approximately $20 million were accounted for in the correct periods. Shareholders suing the company allege the payments may have been used to shift costs from a prior fiscal year into a subsequent fiscal year. In a February 2012 filing with the SEC, the audit committee stated that Diamond had one or more material weak nesses in its internal control over financial reporting. In January 2014, the SEC charged Diamond Foods and two former executives for their roles in the accounting scheme to falsify walnut costs in order to boost earnings and meet estimates by stock analysts. Diamond Foods agreed to pay $5 million to settle the SEC’S charges. a. Does the restatement suggest that the company’s internal controls contained a material weakness? Explain your rationale. b. In September 2011, the company filed its annual report with the SEC for its fiscal year ended July 31, 2011. As part of that filing, the company maintained that it had effective internal controls over financial reporting as of its year-end date. Do you believe that management’s report on internal control over financial reporting was accurate? c. In February 2012, the audit committee indicated that the company had ineffective internal controls. What types of material weaknesses do you think might exist at Diamond?Terry House, the controller for MicroTech Software Company, is responsible for preparing the company’s financial statements.

He replies truthfully, “The company’s sales are down another 10% this quarter. I fear they will go out of business.” At that time, MicroTech had not released its sales results to the public. Discuss the ethics of this situation.Lynch, Inc., is a hardware store operating in Boulder, Colorado.

- Raphael Ltd is a small engineering business that has annual credit sales revenue of £2.4 million. In recent years, the business has experienced credit control problems. The average settlement period for sales has risen to 50 days even though the stated policy of the business is for payment to be made within 30 days. In addition, 1.5 per cent of sales are written off as bad debts each year. The business has recently been in talks with a factor that is prepared to make an advance to the business equivalent to 80 per cent of trade receivables, based on the assumption that customers will, in future, adhere to a 30-day payment period. The interest rate for the advance will be 11 per cent a year. The trade receivables are currently financed through a bank overdraft, which has an interest rate of 12 per cent a year. The factor will take over the credit control procedures of the business and this will result in a saving to the business of £18,000 a year; however, the factor will make a charge…Otis is the CEO of Bay Corp.
