Chapter 2, Problem 2SC
Case 2
A few years ago, there was a large oil refining company (based in New York) whose top executive was convicted of financial statement fraud. One of the issues in the case involved the way the company accounted for its oil inventories. In particular, the company would purchase crude oil from exploration companies and then process the oil into finished oil products, such as jet fuel, diesel fuel, and so forth. Because there was a ready market for these finished products, as soon as the company would purchase the crude oil, it would record its oil inventory at the selling prices of the finished products less the cost to refine the oil (instead of at cost). Although there was fraud in the case, this type of accounting was also questioned because it allowed the company to recognize profit before the actual sale (and even refining) of the oil. This method was even attested to by a large CPA firm. If you were the judge in this case, would you be critical of this accounting practice? Do you believe this "aggressive" accounting was a warning signal that fraud might be occurring?

Although client cash flows have been stable, the disruption caused by the 2020 global pandemic made it difficult for retail lessors to pay their rent on time. Due to the company's tenant-friendly approach, retail clients were allowed to renegotiate their lease and temporarily pause rent payments between June 2020 and July 2021, shifting those payments to the last 12 months. Most of these leases will expire in the next two years, including all retail companies unable to pay their rent. However, they estimate that they will receive all the lost cash flow from these tenants within a couple of years.
Currently, the company is a…

He had taken a small garbage collection company in Kentucky and built it up to be one of the largest and most profitable waste management companies in the Midwest. But when he was convicted of a massive financial fraud, what surprised everyone was how crude and simple the scheme was. To keep the earnings up and the stock prices soaring, he and his co-workers came up with an almost foolishly simple scheme: First, they doubled the useful lives of the dumpsters. That allowed them to cut depreciation expense in half. The following year, they simply increased the estimated salvage value of the dumpsters, allowing them to further reduce depreciation expense. With thousands of dumpsters spread over 14 states, these simple adjustments gave the company an enormous boost to the bottom line. When it all came tumbling down, McAlister had to sell everything he owned to pay for his legal costs and was left with nothing. Requirements If an…arrow_forward
