Case Study
You have applied for a public relations (PR) position with a RM 10.2 million savings and loan association, a conservative financial institution that has been in existence for over 50 years. The organization has never employed a PR person before. Now that its assets have risen above 10 million, however, the president of the institution feels it is time to hire someone to ‘do the PR’.
During an interview, the president admits he is not sure what PR is, but he is fairly sure he wants the person he hires to plan promotions and stage events that will attract new customers, write stories that will get free space and time in the local media and start an employee publication. The president also states that he is open to suggestions about the position and asks you to explain how you would establish a professional, effective PR program if you were hired.

Burrin Corporation's sales and profits had slipped from their highs of 3 years ago. Everyone knew that the company faced increasing pressure from foreign competition and general maturing of the industry. However, some directors wondered whether Jay Kelly, CEO and chairman of the board, was the man to turn the company around. Kelly was a "numbers man" who had come up through corporate finance. He had an exceptionally good feel for the bottom line but had demonstrated little ability to sense technological and market trends. Prior to the June bimonthly board meeting, venture capitalist Linda Lopez and another independent board member requested a full discussion of Kelly's performance. Kelly had no option but to comply. However, he manufactured 12 other agenda issues, guaranteed to generate extensive discussion, and put them ahead of Lopez's item. By the time Lopez's agenda item was reached, it was late in the evening and some of…arrow_forward
- Integrative Problem Samantha Sampson retired a few years ago at the age of 55. Because she is bored with retirement and still relatively young, Samantha has considered starting a business of her own. However, she doesn’t know anything about business. As a result, Sam has hired the consulting firm for which you work to give her a brief tutorial on business and finance. To begin her lesson, Ms. Sampson has asked you to answer the following questions: What is finance, and why is it important to understand finance to run a successful business? What are the major areas of the finance discipline? How has finance changed since the beginning of the twentieth century? What are some of the financial trends that are currently of interest to businesses? What is value, and how is it determined? What does it mean to maximize value? What is sustainability, and how is this concept related to finance? What is lean manufacturing? How is the goal of value maximization related to lean manufacturing?arrow_forwardConsider the dilemma you might someday face if you are the CFO of a company that is struggling to satisfy investors, creditors, stockholders, and internal company managers. All of these financial statement users are clamoring for higher profits and more net assets (also known as equity). If at some point, you suddenly found yourself not meeting the internal and external earnings and equity targets that these parties expect, you would probably search for some way to make the financial statements look better. What if your boss, the CEO, suggested that maybe you should make just one simple journal entry to record all the goods that your company is holding on consignment, as if that significant amount of goods were owned by your company? She might say that this action on your part would fix a lot of problems at once, since adding the consigned goods to merchandise inventory would simultaneously increase net assets on the balance sheet and increase net income on the income statement (since it would decrease cost of goods sold). How would you respond to this request? Write a memo, detailing your willingness or not to embrace this suggestion, giving reasons behind your decision. Remember to exercise diplomacy, even if you must dissent from the opinion of a supervisor. Note that the challenge of the assignment is to keep your integrity intact while also keeping your job, if possible.arrow_forwardOver the last 50 years the financial reporting systems have dramatically changed and will continue to change as the financial world faces changes such as globalization, changing regulations and the increased use of technology. The accounting profession must be ready to not only face these changes but to also adapt to them, providing relevant and reliable information to the many internal and external users of financial and managerial accounting reports. It is important to understand the difference between managerial and financial accounting reports. You are the chief executive officer of a multinational corporation that operates wholly owned subsidiaries in several countries. One of the company’s manufacturing plants is located in Europe. As CEO, respond to the following questions in 400-600 words: What types of internal and external accounting reports will you use in the process of making decisions? How will the reports differ for a multi-national corporation?arrow_forward
- ETHICAL DILEMMA "We must get it," Erickson Santos, president of Industrial Fasteners, roared. "Without it, we're in big trouble." The "it" Mr. Santos referred to is the renewal of a P20 million loan with Manila First Bank. The big trouble he fears is the lack of funds necessary to repay the existing debt and few, if any, prospects for raising the funds elsewhere. Mr. Santos had just hung up the phone after a conversation with a bank vice-president in which it was made clear that this year's statement of cash flows must look better than last year's. Mr. Santos knows that improvements are not on course to happen. In fact, cash flow projections were dismal. Later that day, Timothy Dela Cruz, assistant controller, was summoned to Mr. Santos's office. "Dela Cruz," Santos barked, "I've looked at our accounts receivable. I think we can generate quite a bit of cash by selling or factoring most of those receivables. I know it will cost us more than if we collect them ourselves, but it sure will…arrow_forwardIntegrative Problem Samantha Sampson retired a few years ago at the age of 55.

- Solve the Dilemma LO 14-6 Assess a company's financial position using its accounting statements and ratio analysis. Exploring the Secrets of Accounting You have just been promoted from vice president of marketing of BrainDrain Corporation to president and CEO! That's the good news. Unfortunately, while you know marketing like the back of your hand, you know next to nothing about finance. Worse still, the "word on the street" is that BrainDrain is in danger of failure if steps to correct large and continuing financial losses are not taken immediately. Accordingly, you have asked the vice president of finance and accounting for a complete set of accounting statements detailing the financial operations of the company over the past several years. Recovering from the dual shocks of your promotion and feeling the weight of the firm's complete accounting report for the very first time, you decide to attack the problem systematically and learn the "hidden secrets" of the company, statement by…arrow_forwardProblem 1 For each situation, indicate whether it is indicative of poor corporate governance.

The audit committee meets semiannually. It is chaired by a retired CFO who knows the company well because she had served as the CFO of a division of the firm.

Due to your excellent performance and the fact that the CEO of your firm noticed that you had listed on your resume' that you had taken a graduate-level Management Accounting course from a reputable institution, the CEO has sent you an email containing a request that you respond to two very important questions. The CEO needs your answers within a relatively short time frame of making the request. The questions are: #1. What criteria should the operating units (i.e. producing segments of the firm) use when deciding whether to use job-order costing or process costing approaches for costing the products they produce? #2. For costs that cannot be traced, what tests should a cost allocation basis (not the cost allocation method) meet before that cost allocation basis (direct labor hours, machine hours, direct labor cost, etc.) can be used to allocate costs in the organization?arrow_forward
