Assignment: Ethics in Accounting

Due Week 9 and worth 170 points

Effective financial reporting depends on sound ethical behavior. Financial scandals in accounting and the businesses world have resulted in legislation to ensure adequate disclosures and honesty and integrity in financial reporting. A sound economy is contingent on truthful and reliable financial reporting.

Instructions:

Read the following scenario.
Answer the questions that follow. This will be a 2-3 page submission in a question and answer format (also in paragraph form). An introduction and conclusion is not required.
Refer back to your textbook for guidance on how to think through the scenario.

You have been recently hired as an assistant controller for XYZ Industries, a large, publically held manufacturing company. Your immediate supervisor is the controller who also reports directly to the VP of Finance. The controller has assigned you the task of preparing the year-end adjusting entries.  In the receivables area, you have prepared an aging accounts receivable and have applied historical percentages to the balances of each of the age categories.  The analysis indicates that an appropriate estimated balance for the allowance for uncollectible accounts is $180,000.  The existing balance in the allowance account prior to any adjusting entry is a $20,000 credit balance.

After showing your analysis to the controller, he tells you to change the aging category of a large account from over 120 days to current status and to prepare a new invoice to the customer with a revised date that agrees with the new category.  This will change the required allowance for uncollectible accounts from $180,000 to $135,000. Tactfully, you ask the controller for an explanation for the change and he tells you We need the extra income, the bottom line is too low.

Required:

In a 2-3 page paper, discuss the following:

Consider what you have learned relative to ethics and financial reporting. What is the rationale for the calculations/process used to estimate the $180,000 uncollectible allowance?
How do you think the misstatement of funds will impact the income statement and balance sheet?
What is the ethical dilemma you face? What are the ethical considerations? Consider your options and responsibilities as assistant controller.
Identify the key internal and external stakeholders. What are the negative impacts that can happen if you do not follow the instructions of your supervisor?
What are the potential consequences if you do comply with your supervisors instructions? Who will be negatively impacted?

Additional Requirements:

Use at least one (1) quality academic resource (in addition to your textbook) for this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as academic resources. You have access to Strayer Universitys Online Library at https://research.strayer.edu and the iCampus University Library Research page at https://icampus.strayer.edu/library/research.

Possible formats include a written paper (550words), a visual image(s), or a short video ( 3 mins. max).

The goal is to bring something new to a topic covered in this course not to simply restate or summarize a topic.  A simple way to do a project is to take an idea from the reading or lecture and add your own ideas to it. Another approach to a would be to do some independent research on an idea you had while reading/viewing course materials. Or you might discuss or illustrate how the material compares to your own experience. Perhaps youve seen an exhibition, movie, TV series, book, or website that illustrates a point covered in class. Maybe you have an observation or anecdote about an issue raised. The project can be written or visual. The idea is to demonstrate that youve done the reading/viewing, thought about it, and that youve developed something to contribute.

You will write a 3-5 Page Individual Paper addressing your particular section of the overall group presentation. 

In your paper you should explain your angle of the presentation and then build your case. 

Bibliography expected.

My part of the presentation was about Len Bias and what has was left unchanged after his death.

below are some of my notes from the presentation.

Universities and how they treat

Still treat athletes like theyre disposable

Professional and college athletes are still taking drugs and dying

In the time since his death, a lot of people are unaware of his death as well as his cause of death

The war on drugs is still going on

Our society has proven that theyre more concerned with punishment than treatment

to a trope that would condition the country to a hyper-militarized police response to illicit drugs for decades to come

Theres a pattern to drugs and drug use

Stories surface about a new trendy drug

A high-profile death occurs which starts a panic

Anti-drug activist, as well as lawmakers, demand something be done

Rash legislation is passed

The stigma of black men and drugs

Black athletes have been experiencing stigma and stereotypes over drug abuse since 1986 at the peak of the crack era. These stereotypes have plagued the black community image and have been constant since the war on drugs began.

Media portrayal has been a huge reason for this. The media misrepresents stories and puts a greater emphasis on black athletes. In turn, it negatively affects the public view of the black community, which leads to negative real-world consequences for them.

Negative associations exaggerated and the positive associations limited

Again patterns in portrayals of African Americans athletes can be expected to promote public support for punitive approaches to problems which relate directly to the war on drugs
