Managerial Accounting: An Overview
Ethics and the Manager
Richmond, Inc., operates a chain of 44 department stores. Two years ago, the board of directors of Richmond approved a large-scale remodelling of its stores to attract a more upscale clientele.
Before finalizing these plans, two stores were remodelled as a test. Linda Perlman, assistant controller, was asked to oversee the financial reporting for these test stores, and she and other management personnel were offered bonuses based on the sales growth and profitability of these stores.
While completing the financial reports, Perlman discovered a sizable inventory of outdated goods that should have been discounted for sale or returned to the manufacturer. She discussed the situation with her management colleagues; the consensus was to ignore reporting this inventory as obsolete because reporting it would diminish the financial results and their bonuses.

The CEO has asked you, as project leader, to write a memo summarizing the advantages and disadvantages of each approach and to make a recommendation. This is a traditional organization with a strong internal hierarchy. The company was acquired in a merger 2 years ago, and the ERP project is an effort on the part of the parent company to standardize business processes and reporting across the organization. Prior to this, the organization had been using a general ledger package that it acquired in 1979. Most of the transaction processing is a combination of manual and batch processing.

- CASE:Outsourcing Accounting FunctionsYou have been employed for two years in the accounting department of a mid-sized multinational consumer products company. Your performance has been outstanding, and it is clear that management feels you have great potential with the firm. However, you are quite surprised when your manager calls you into her office to tell you that you have been chosen to lead an effort to identify an outsourcing partner for the payroll, accounts payable, and accounts receivable functions. She assures you that there will be an excellent assignment for you after the outsourcing is successfullycompleted and all is functioning well in one to two years. Questions: 1.What benefits might your organization gain from outsourcing basic accounting functions? 2. .Identify at least three major organizational challenges associated with transitioning these functions to an outsourcing firm.arrow_forwardTo facilitate comparisons across companies (cross sectional analysis) and over time for a single company (time series analysis), it is important that accounting methods are comparable and consistently applied. However, accounting standards must be fl exible enough to recognize that diff erences exist in the underlying economics between businesses. Suppose two companies buy the same model of machinery to be used in their respective businesses. Th e machine is expected to last for several years. Financial reporting standards typically require that both companies account for this equipment by initially recording the cost of the machinery as an asset. Without such a standard, the companies could report the purchase of the equipment diff erently. For example, one company might record the purchase as an asset and the other might record the purchase as an expense. An accounting standard ensures that both companies should record the transaction in a similar manner. Accounting standards…arrow_forwardEthical Considerations.
