Ethics Case, 1 Ethics Case Maria Ruiz as Shown in Canvas For ACC 1A – Principles of Accounting 1 Riverside Community College Dr. Julie Browning, PhD, CPA, CMA, CGMA 07/07/2023
Ethics Case, 2 Ethics Case In the given question, on behalf of Squid Realty Co., Daryl applied to Ocean National Bank for a loan of $375000. Based on the company’s financial statement which had been prepared on a cash basis, the Ocean National Bank loan officer rejected the loan application as too risky. Parties Involved in the Case As per the Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP), Accounting can be done on either a cash basis or accrual basis. The difference between two related to when revenue and expenses are recognizes money as it comes in or goes out. This method keeps the book up to date and gives the owner a real tine view of the business finances. One of the major limitations, however, is that it does not account for the receivables and therefore does not always show the big picture of a company’s finances. While the Accrual method books the earned revenue or expenses when they are incurred and not when they are received. Accrual accounting gives a holistic perspective of the business and a good view of the overall health of the company. Ethical Issues In the given case, after receiving the rejection notice, Daryl instructed his accountant to prepare the financial statement on an Accrual basis. This is ethical as banks prefer the financial statement of the company to be prepared on an accrual basis as it allows the lenders to have a good view of the overall health of the company. It allows the lender to determine if the finances are healthy and the income is sufficient to service the debt the company has and for which it is applying. So, revising the financial statement as per Accrual method for the purpose of loan application is ethical. Also, Daryl then instructed his accountant to record an additional $30,000 of accounts receivable for commissions on the property for which a contract has been signed on
Ethics Case, 3 December 28, 20x3 but the title to the property is to transfer on January 5, 20x4 when an attorney formally records the transfer of the property to the buyer. It is an Adjusting Event as there is a condition that existed at the balance sheet date. Therefore, accounts receivable shown by the company are ethical. Ethical or Unethical? However, in the given case, Daryl indicated on the application that he had not previously been rejected for credit. It is not ethical as he is misleading the bank since the loan application was rejected by the previous bank. Therefore, that act of Daryl is not ethical.
