Buddy Dupree is the accounting manager for On-Time Geeks, a tech support company for individuals and small businesses. As part
of his job, Buddy is responsible for preparing the company's trial balance. His supervisor placed a "hard deadline" of Friday at
5p.m. for the completion of the trial balance. Unfortunately, Buddy was unable to get the trial balance to balance by the due date.
The credit side of the trial balance exceeded the debit side by $3,000. To make the deadline, Buddy decided to add $3,000 debit to
the vehicles account balance. He selected the vehicles account because it will not be significantly affected by the additional $3,000.
Questions:
1. Is Buddy behaving ethically? Why or why not?
2. Who is affected by Buddy's decision?
3. How should Buddy have handled this situation?

Ray told Holmes that the audit must be completed in time to submit audited financial statements to a bank as part of a loan application. Holmes immediately accepted the engagement and agreed to provide an auditor’s report within three weeks. Ray agreed to pay Holmes a fixed fee plus a bonus if the loan was granted. Holmes hired two accounting students to conduct the audit and spent several hours telling them exactly what to do. Holmes told the students not to spend time reviewing the controls but to concentrate on proving the mathematical accuracy of the ledger accounts and to summarize the data in the accounting records that support Ray’s financial statements. The students followed Holmes’ instructions and after two weeks gave Holmes the financial statements, which did not include footnotes because the company did not have any unusual transactions. Holmes reviewed the statements and prepared an unqualified auditor’s report. The report, however, did not refer to GAAP or to the year-to-year application of such principles. Briefly describe each of the ten standards included in the PCAOB guidance and indicate how the action(s) of Holmes resulted in a failure to comply with each standard.arrow_forwardSusan, a store supervisor, is responsible for creating a summary of the store’s transactions at the end of each day.

A new bookkeeper cant find the errors that are causing the companys month-end trial balance to be out of balance.

Even with the help of her uncle, the trial balance is still out of balance, and now she is too embarrassed to return to the office and ask for help.
