- What is a good response to.... One method that is used to communicate financial statement information in a fraudulent manner is omitting liabilities. This involves intentionally failing to disclose or record liabilities on the balance sheet, making the company appear financially stronger than it actually is (Crumbley & Fenton, 2021). By understating the company's debts, management can mislead stakeholders into believing that the organization has better liquidity and solvency than it actually does, which may lead to inflated stock prices or better terms when seeking loans. The "M" this fraudulent activity falls under is Manipulation since it is an act of directly altering the financial statements to hide liabilities (Crumbley & Fenton, 2021). An infamous case involving the omission of liabilities is the Enron scandal. Enron used special purpose entities (SPEs) to move debt off its balance sheet, hiding significant liabilities from shareholders adn regulators (Thomas, 2002).

Do you agree with A's point of view and why?arrow_forwardWhat is a good response to.... One of the ways that financial information can fraudulently be reported to stakeholders is by overstating revenues. The motivation for this would be to show stakeholders that the company is exceeding expectations- or performing well. This can be done by recording revenues in a period they were not actually accrued in (like saying that revenues were earned before a product order was fulfilled), recording fictitious revenues, and even changing expenses to reflect incorrect periods or amounts. This “m” would be considered manipulation- because the accountant would be manipulating the financial statements (like the income statement) for potential personal gain. One case where this occurred was “last year involving Marvell Technology Group, the company was charged with pulling in sales from future quarters to close the gap between actual and forecasted revenue. The pull-ins amounted to as much as 16% of the company’s total quarterly revenues, according to the…arrow_forwardHow can SPEs be used to manipulate financial statements?
