Boxes-and-Stuff, a box-packing and mailing company in a small town along the Gulf Coast, lost a key employee last month when its accounting manager was fired for embezzling company money. Now, the owners of Boxes-and-Stuff, Jerome and Natalia, need to find another accounting manager fast. But as they hurry to fill the position, they don't want to select a dishonest or incompetent employee. They need to be cautious. Fortunately, the police chief found the embezzled funds in a bank account set up by the former employee and authorized the return of the money. This means that Boxes-and-Stuff will not lose the embezzled amount, after all. However, Jerome and Natalia are already thinking of ways to protect their company from other risks. They want to be prepared for risky situations in the future. Questions: 1. Which risks do you think Boxes-and-Stuff might face?

So the management of this company decided they were going to change a few things. The management has decided that the new policy for recognizing revenues for the pharmacy businesses will be when the customer drops off the prescription. The controller, William asked about what if the customer does not pick up their prescription. The management stated that we don’t get a lot of people that don’t pick up their prescriptions. Management states this will recognize our revenue quicker and hopefully this will increase our cash flow. We must keep our investors happy. William, the controller has come to you as an outside CPA to research this change in revenue recognition.

- Judy Baresford, the store manager of Comfort Futons, noticed that the amount of time the two bookkeepers were spending on accounts receivable, accounts payable, and cash receipts was increasing due to the stores increase in sales. A friend of Judys who is also a store manager suggested that she might want to have some special journals designed that would reduce the amount of work involved in the day-to-day bookkeeping at her store. Judy approached Jon Fortner and Sue Stavio, the bookkeepers, and asked them to come up with a proposal for special journals. During lunch, Jon told Sue he thought designing special journals would be a lot of work and it was not in his job description. Sue told him not to worry because she would just copy pages of special journals from her accounting textbook and they could submit these journals as their own design. Jon liked the idea and they agreed to meet the next night, scan the journals into Word, and submit them to Judy the following morning. 1. Do you think Sues suggestion is unethical? Why or why not? 2. In using the generic special journals from Sues accounting textbook, what possible problems can you foresee? 3. If you were Judy, how would you respond to Sue and Jons plan?arrow_forwardA payday loan company has decided to open several new locations in a city and hires consultants to decide where to open these locations.

One way in which it rewarded its directors was to employ their children, who were students, over the summer break. The company paid these student-employees wages far in excess of market rates. In recent years, MWL became heavily reliant on cruise ship passengers to maintain its business. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the last cruise ship visited in March 2020.
