A local pharmacy company has been in business for many years. Recently the company got into some trouble because investors wanted to know why the profits were trending downward. So the management of this company decided they were going to change a few things. The management has decided that the new policy for recognizing revenues for the pharmacy businesses will be when the customer drops off the prescription. The controller, William asked about what if the customer does not pick up their prescription. The management stated that we don’t get a lot of people that don’t pick up their prescriptions. Management states this will recognize our revenue quicker and hopefully this will increase our cash flow. We must keep our investors happy. William, the controller has come to you as an outside CPA to research this change in revenue recognition.

Boxes-and-Stuff, a box-packing and mailing company in a small town along the Gulf Coast, lost a key employee last month when its accounting manager was fired for embezzling company money. Now, the owners of Boxes-and-Stuff, Jerome and Natalia, need to find another accounting manager—fast. But as they hurry to fill the position, they don’t want to select a dishonest or incompetent employee. They need to be cautious. Fortunately, the police chief found the embezzled funds in a bank account set up by the former employee and authorized the return of the money. This means that Boxes-and-Stuff will not lose the embezzled amount, after all. However, Jerome and Natalia are already thinking of ways to protect their company from other risks. They want to be prepared for risky situations in the future.
1. Which risks do you think Boxes-and-Stuff might face?
2. How do you think the company should handle the risks you’ve identified?

- Morgan Williams Ltd (MWL) is a long-established department store in central Wellington and was for many years highly profitable. One way in which it rewarded its directors was to employ their children, who were students, over the summer break. The company paid these student-employees wages far in excess of market rates. In recent years, MWL became heavily reliant on cruise ship passengers to maintain its business. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the last cruise ship visited in March 2020. MWL was slow to develop an online presence. Also, many people, whose offices are in central Wellington, started to work from home. By June 2020, MWL’s sales were down by 90%, and by September 2020, MWL was in serious financial difficulty. December is usually MWL’s best month for sales, but December 2020 was a disaster and the company started to lay off staff. In March 2021, MWL failed to pay its GST and other tax liabilities. Southpac, the company’s bank, threatened to seize MWL’s stock, in terms of a…arrow_forward1. You are a recent graduate and you are working in the accounting department of Macy’s.

For its services, the company has always charged a flat fee per hundred square feet of carpet cleaned. The current fee is $28 per hundred square feet. However, there is some question about whether the company is actually making any money on jobs for some customers—particularly those located on remote ranches that require considerable travel time. The owner’s daughter, home for the summer from college, has suggested investigating this question using activity-based costing.
