- A current issue before the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is whether accounting standards should be moving from rule-based standards to principle-based standards. Rule-based standards provide specific measurements guidelines that are currently used to classify investment securities (for example, less than 20%, from 20% to 50%, and over 50%). Principle-based standards rely on general principles such as significant influence or control of a company, without any more detailed guidelines. You are the chief financial officer for a large corporation, and FASB just issued a request for comment on a proposed change from the current standard to a principle-based standard. Choose the standard that best meets the business need and justify your choice. Evaluate and defend whether your choice would change if you were an investor in the company.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not true of a registration statement? A .

Situation 1: Trading debt securities in the current assets section have a fair value that is $4,200 lower than cost.

The PCAOB is a Government-created entity with expansive powers to govern an entire industry. Every accounting firm that audits public companies under the securities laws must register with the PCAOB, pay it an annual fee, and comply with its rules and oversight. The PCAOB may inspect registered firms, initiate formal investigations, and issue severe sanctions in its disciplinary proceedings. While the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) appoints PCAOB members and has oversight of the PCAOB, it cannot remove PCAOB members at will, but only “for good cause shown,” “in accordance with” specified procedures. The SEC Commissioners, in turn, cannot themselves be removed by the President except for “inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office.” Parties with standing have challenged the constitutionality of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act’s…arrow_forward

- Read the following scenario about Strang Corporation and identify the substantive procedures that the CPA (Elaine Stanley) should perform to determine whether lapping exists. Do not discuss deficiencies in the system of internal control. During the year, Strang Corporation began to encounter cash flow difficulties, and a cursory review by management revealed receivable collection problems. Strang’s management engaged Elaine Stan ley, CPA, to perform a special investigation. Stanley studied the billing and collection cycle and noted the following: The accounting department employs one bookkeeper who receives and opens all incoming mail. This bookkeeper is also responsible for depositing receipts, filing daily remittance advices, recording receipts in the cash receipts journal, and posting receipts in the individual customer accounts and the general ledger accounts. There are no cash sales. The bookkeeper prepares and controls the mailing of monthly statements to customers. The concentration of functions and the receivable collection problems caused Stanley to suspect that a systematic theft of customers’ payments through a delayed posting of remittances (lapping of accounts receivable) is present.arrow_forwardDirks was an officer of a New York broker-dealer firm that specialized in providing investment analysis of insurance company securities to institutional investors.
