On behalf of Squid Realty Co., Daryl applied to Ocean National Bank for a loan of $375,000. Based on Squid Realty Co.'s financial statements, which had been prepared on a cash basis, the Ocean National Bank loan officer rejected the loan as too risky. After receiving the rejection notice, Daryl instructed his accountant to prepare the financial statements on an accrual basis. These statements included $65,000 in accounts receivable and $25,000 in accounts payable.

At the annual shareholders’ meeting, you discussed the company’s recently reported results. As part of your presentation, you illustrated the minimum and maximum values for net income that Clarke could have reported using a range of accounting assumptions other companies in your industry use. Your statement prompted a cry of outrage from one of the shareholders present at the meeting, who accused you of being an unprincipled liar. This shareholder stated that any suggestion that there is a range of possible net income values for a given company in a given year indicates an overly liberal approach to financial reporting. This shareholder has moved that your employment contract be immediately terminated because of an apparent lack of moral character. The shareholder’s arguments have been persuasive to a large number of people at the meeting. What can you say to defend yourself?arrow_forward

He does not understand why the company started the year with a bank balance of GHS6,000,000 but ended the year with a bank balance of only GHS300,000. He feels the Accountant has misappropriated the funds because the company made profits of GHS4,425,000 during the 2019 financial year and so adding that amount to the opening bank balance should result in a closing bank balance of GHS10,425,000.
