Moss Exports is having a bad year. Net income is only $60,000. Also, two important overseas customers are falling behind in their payments to Moss, and Moss’s accounts receivable are ballooning. The company desperately needs a loan. The Moss Exports Board of Directors is considering ways to put the best face on the company’s financial statements. Moss’s bank closely examines cash flow from operating activities. Daniel Peavey, Moss’s controller, suggests reclassifying the receivables from the slow-paying clients as long-term. He explains to the board that removing the $80,000 increase in accounts receivable from current assets will increase net cash provided by operations. This approach may help Moss get the loan.

Case 1
ABC Company is a relatively small dry-cleaning operation that has a very steady level of business. Since the company hired a new employee, however, cash inflows have decreased and the amount of promotional coupon redemptions have increased dramatically. The owner of the company has been very impressed with this new employee, but has suspicions regarding her cashiering practices. When comparing cash sales to check and credit card sales, the owner noted that the coupon redemption rate was dramatically higher for cash sales. The owner does not want to wrongly accuse the employee if she is innocent, but does want to find out if fraud is occurring. The owner calls you as an expert on fraud and asks you to recommend a reliable way to gather evidence that could determine if fraud is occurring. 1. What are some possible investigative methods you could suggest?

- Best Exports has noticed their current year net income is only $60,000. In order to get a loan from their bank to assist the business they will need to provide a statement of cash flows. In reviewing the statement of cash flows, you notice a large increase ($80,000) in accounts receivable due to two of your largest customers being behind in payments. Since the bank looks at the operating activities, this increase will create concern. You make a suggestion to reclassify the accounts receivables to long-term, thus removing them from current assets will increase the net cash from operations. Under what circumstances would this reclassification be considered ethical or unethical? Support your selection by finding an article which explains your choice.arrow_forward45.

From his business readings he was aware that many wall street economists were forecasting a recession for late 2019 into middle 2020. He remembered that in the last recession Waterton was criticized for weakened liquidity as shown on its balance sheet. He ran a simulation with improved accounts receivable and inventory turnovers, Bryce was disappointed with the overall liquidity picture. He was concerned that he was missing something. Maybe he did not understand the relationships among the liquidity measures or maybe he had an error in his worksheet or maybe financial relationships had changed in the past ten years. He assumed if cash came in faster with better collections and more efficient inventory control, liquidity metrics would improve. The eight conventional liquidity measures were current ratio,…arrow_forward[Words Limit: Up to 300 words.] ABC Limited is a manufacturing firm with a workforce of more than 100 employees. Mr Peter has recently joined the firm as the account payable clerk. Miss Emma is the accounting department head, and she is concerned about the cash disbursement system. Therefore, she has asked Mr Peter to analyse the firm's cash disbursement system and identify the internal control weaknesses from the system. Following is the description of the cash disbursement system. In the temporary file, the account payable clerk receives the supplier's invoice and reconciles it with the purchase order. The accounts payable clerk records the purchase in the purchases journal from the clerk's computer terminal and records the liability by adding a record to accounts payable subsidiary ledger. The clerk then updates the inventory control and accounts payable control accounts in the general ledger. The purchases order and invoice are later filed in the department.
